Novels by Queen Mikayla

Al sat by Cassie's bedside, holding her hand tightly. His face showed deep worry, while Cassie looked even weaker. Her body now looked fragile, but her spirit could still be seen from her eyes looking at Al. Perhaps this was one of Cassie's premonitions, she forced Al to become her pretend husband in order to protect her and save all the wealthy assets she had from irresponsible people, like her ex-fiancé. "Al, I can't go on like this. My body is getting weaker, and I know that I may not have much time left," Cassie said in a hoarse voice. Every word that came out of her mouth was heavy. Cassie was so sure that Al Vino Chandra was the right person."Don't talk like that, Cassie. You will recover. You're undergoing treatment, and I'm sure you'll recover," Al replied in a hopeful tone, even though he knew in his heart that Cassie was probably right.Cassie shook her head weakly. "Al, I have to be realistic. You know how I am. I can't take care of the company like I used to. I've thou

Al held the steering wheel calmly, while Cassie sat next to him, staring out the window blankly. "How are you feeling now, Miss Cassie?" asked Al, trying to break the silence.Cassie smiled slightly, then nodded slowly. "Fine, just a little dizzy, but I'm fine," she replied, although in her heart she knew that the dizziness was more than just normal tiredness."If you're not feeling well, we can postpone the wedding today," Al suggested, a little worried about Cassie's condition."No," Cassie shook her head firmly. "I'm fine, Al. Besides, we're here." She pointed towards the registry building that was coming into view in front of them.Al was silent for a moment, looking at Cassie who looked so excited, probably because Cassie wanted to prove to her ex-fiancé that she already had a partner. "Alright, if that's what you want."Al and Cassie arrived at the registry building and walked in together. The room was small and simple, decorated with only a few flowers and chairs. The registra

Al Vino could only hold himself together, trying to remain calm despite the anger and shame gnawing at him from within. On the other hand, Cassandra was still smiling coldly, her eyes keenly observing the people around her.Al grasped Cassandra's hand tighter, a sign that he was ready to face whatever was coming. Cassandra also felt Al's hand, and she grasped back tighter as a sign of support. Then, Cassandra took a step forward, drawing the attention of everyone at the party. "Well, if you all don't believe me, how about we prove it?" Cassandra said firmly. "You know how valuable this diamond necklace is, right?" Cassandra held up the diamond necklace Al Vino was wearing, displaying its mesmerizing sparkle.All the guests at the party immediately fell silent, their gazes riveted on the necklace held by Cassandra. The diamond necklace was one of the most famous and desired treasures by many collectors. Few people knew about the origin of the necklace, but they all knew that only very

"What do you think, Al?" Cassandra asked Al once again; the woman seemed impatient to hear Al Vino's decision.Al was still silent, as if he were considering the offer given by Cassandra.After thinking for a while, Al nodded in agreement. "Alright!" said Al.Cassandra smiled with satisfaction. "Good. Now come with me to the mansion; there are some things we need to discuss before we go to the party," Cassandra said.Once again, Al just nodded obediently to Cassandra's orders. Al thought that maybe this was a great opportunity for him.Al confidently continued to follow Cassandra's steps toward her parked car.Arriving at the mansion, Cassandra immediately took Al to her study.Al could only stare in awe at the design of this room."Sit down, Al!" Cassandra ordered. Hesitant, Al sat down on the soft sofa. He looked very tense. "Al, I've been looking into you for a month now," Cassandra said in a serious tone. "In fact, I know everything, including your past and your family. I even k

Al swallowed hard, feeling that the opportunity he thought was in front of him was now gone. He decided to leave. He wasn't going to ask Cassandra for help."Opportunity doesn't come twice, Al," he whispered with a chuckle, laughing at himself."It hasn't even been a day yet, but it's already gone! I recognize," Al whispered.Al continued to walk; he began to feel that the world was no longer in his favor.After experiencing betrayal from his lover, he faced humiliation too. Even now, there is no company that wants to accept him. Only rejection is what he often gets."I've lost Angela, and I've lost a good opportunity with Miss Cassie. Now I've lost my mother's diamond necklace. This is so unfair to me!"Al ruffled his hair roughly. His steps were heavy, but he tried to stay firmly on his feet.Al returns to his small apartment, a place that was a silent witness to the relationship he had with Angela, which should not have happened before marriage.When Al has the money, he intends to

"Ah... never mind, I'd better go to Angela's house. I have to get that necklace," Al said.Al walked hurriedly; he decided to visit Angela's house.Al really regretted that he had rejected the offer from Alessandria Cassandra Lee, a CEO who turned out to have abundant wealth. Plus, Cassandra lives alone and already has no parents, like Al."If I accept Miss Cassie's offer, maybe I can.... " Al paused his steps for a moment, then he took a deep breath. "Ah... it's really embarrassing if I now come over there and agree to her request. Where is my pride as a man?" Al continued to mutter.Al arrived in front of Angela's house. Immediately, Al knocked on Angela's door."Angela!" Al shouted, "Open the door!" He banged roughly on the door.Soon, the door opened, and Angela appeared with a lazy smile. "Oh, it was you who knocked on the door, Al? Huh, you have no education. You have no manners at all. Why did you come to my house?" asked Angela sarcastically."Where's my necklace, Angela? I di

Nathan was sitting casually in his study. "Sorry, sir, you can't come in without an appointment with the young master!" Nathan's secretary tried to stop the man. However, he failed.The man continued to enter the boardroom.When suddenly the door opened with a bang. Natalie's father walked in with a flushed face and a sardonic look on his face. Nathan was shocked when he saw the man. "Whoa, Uncle! What's wrong?" asked Nathan confused, still trying to make sense of the situation. "Why did you come suddenly without knocking?""What is it? Why is Natalie's father so angry with me? Is there something going on with Natalie that I don't know about?" Nathan said to himself. The man seemed to be getting angrier, he couldn't calm his temper."You! Don't pretend you don't know! Where is Natalie? Where are you hiding her?" Natalie's father shouted, pointing at Nathan with his index finger.Nathan was getting confused, "Uncle, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Natalie? I do

Louis sat dumbfounded behind the cold bars of the prison. He had already experienced the bitterness of life in this place in recent days."It's all because of my trashy ex-son-in-law!" Louis growled.Even though he knew that Nathan, his former son-in-law, was now a billionaire, in his eyes Nathan was still a jerk. "Wait for my revenge, Nathan Moreno, I'll get off scot-free early!" Louis continued to grumble.Soon, he heard footsteps in front of his cell, he immediately turned his head."Miranda, Kenzo, Grey," Louis said in a weak tone. "Thank you for coming to see me."Miranda and Grey were holding back tears, while Kenzo looked at Louis with a different expression."Miranda, please let me go, son!" the man pleaded. "Dad, I've been trying to find a way to free you, but..." Miranda stopped, lowering her face.Louis looked at his daughter expectantly, "But what, Miranda?"Miranda sighed heavily, "The savings I have have been handed over to Kenzo for the restaurant that's in trouble. I

"What's wrong with you again, darling?" asked Miranda, who had just arrived after Nathan, her ex-husband, had left. "Nathan was just here, Miranda. He still wants to buy this restaurant! I will never sell this restaurant to him," said Kenzo. "Yes, my husband. You don't have to sell your restaurant. It just so happens that my business is booming, so I'll give you some capital. I hope it helps," said Miranda, who immediately handed Kenzo a brown envelope. "Really, is this capital for me?" Kenzo still couldn't believe he was getting help from his wife. "Yes, it is. I'm your wife. What's wrong with me giving capital to my own husband," Miranda said. Kenzo was relieved that he no longer had to worry about solving the problems at his restaurant.The next day. Nathan sat in the living room with his grandfather. There was something he wanted to tell his grandfather about the embezzlement case that happened at his grandfather's branch company. Yes, even though this case was a long time a

A few days later.Nathan asked Jhon to immediately go to his room, where the boardroom was located."What is it, Young Master Nathan? Do you need anything?" asked Jhon. "Did you hear the latest news about Kenzo's restaurant?"It had been almost a week since Nathan had heard anything about the restaurant. He was busy preparing for his new business. Not just a skincare business, but another business as well. Nathan was planning to create an orphanage since the orphanage where he used to live had been evicted. "Not yet, Young Master Nathan. I haven't heard anything else," said Jhon. "Okay, you can go outside. If you have any updates, don't forget to let me know," Nathan said firmly. "Yes, young master," said Jhon, after which Jhon left the leadership room. Nathan began searching the media for information. What he found instead was the success of his ex-wife Miranda's beauty business. "You're so cool, Miranda. Your skincare business is booming," Nathan muttered with a faint smile.

"Sorry, Young Master Nathan. We have been negligent in our security," said one of Nathan's bodyguards, bowing his head."Right, now you drag that woman out of my room!" ordered Nathan firmly. "Yes, Young Master!" said the bodyguards firmly. The bodyguards then immediately carried out the order from their master. "Uh, what the hell! Don't touch me! Let go! I need to talk to Nathan!" screamed Miranda as the bodyguards dragged her out of the room."Stop your ridiculous drama, Miranda. And never again appear in my presence!" Nathan snapped curtly as he rubbed his forehead, then resumed his work sternly.Miranda tried to fight back to free herself from the thugs' grip. But apparently, her strength was not strong enough. "Sorry, Miss, you'd better get out of here!" said one of the bodyguards after roughly pushing Miranda's body to the ground. "Fuck you Nathan!" cursed Miranda. Miranda decided to go back to the hotel, where her husband, Kenzo, was waiting.Upon arriving at the hotel ro

"Is Mr. Nathan in?" asked Natalie to Nathan's secretary. "Yes, Miss Natalie. Did you make an appointment?" asked the woman, Nathan's personal secretary. Natalie did not answer the question from Nathan's secretary. She simply walked away to the Chairman's office. Natalie let out a long sigh when she entered the Chairman's office. Her face looked very sad. Nathan, who was sitting and relaxing himself, immediately turned and looked at Natalie. "What's wrong, Natalie? Did you come here without confirming first? Then why do you look sad?" asked Nathan casually.Natalie sat down next to Nathan, her eyes still red. "You know, right, Nathan? That our relationship is still opposed by my father?" said Natalie in a soft voice, tears starting to run down her cheeks. "Yeah, so what?" asked Nathan, still looking relaxed. "Yesterday my father said that he was going to set me up with another man," said Natalie, her face getting darker and sadder. Nathan shrugged and then smiled slightly, "Yeah

Daren and Naumi take their children, Alexander, Lucas, Bella and Rose to the place where Daren's mother and father last met. Although Daren had met his mother and father in a dream last night. However, it felt like something was missing if he didn't visit the grave of his father and mother. "Hello, Dad, Hello Mom," Daren said as he placed flowers near his mother and father's tombstones. The children were in the baby box trolley. Daren's eyes were already red. Although he tried to be sincere. But it was still difficult. After he achieved tremendous success in a short time, but unfortunately the success that Daren had achieved, without being accompanied by his father and mother. "Dad, Mom, Naumi and Daren are here to introduce our children, grandchildren to you," Naumi said, seeing that Daren seemed unable to speak, so Naumi took over. Daren wiped his tears, then kissed t

Daren stood in front of his bedroom window, looking out, thinking about his tumultuous life journey. Soon, he would be inaugurating five hotels and five restaurants that he had built with his team. However, before the big event, there was one thing he needed to do. "Mr. Daren, are you ready?" Make appeared in the doorway, interrupting Daren's reverie. "Yes, Make. Let's go," Daren replied as he grabbed his jacket. The two of them left for the hospital where Charlie, Daren's ex-in-law, was being treated. Charlie, who had slandered Daren for the murder of his mother-in-law, was now lying weak, no longer having any strength. The police said that Charlie's condition had deteriorated over the past week. When they arrived, the police took Make and Daren to Charlie's room. The man woke up and looked at Daren with tired eyes. "Daren...," Charlie whispered hoarsely. Daren looked at Charlie with a sardonic gaze, but actually he was very sorry, "Charlie, I didn't come to bring up the

Chapter 179It had been two months since the last meeting, and the atmosphere at all the project sites was full of enthusiasm and dedication. The admin staff, laborers, and all the workers and teams involved were enthusiastic about completing the hotel and restaurant construction projects in five cities.At one of the project sites, one of the head supervisors stood in the middle of the field with the laborers who were busy working. "Come on, everyone! We're already at 90%! We can finish this on time if we keep working with this kind of enthusiasm!"A laborer who was transporting materials shouted, "We will do it, sir, so that this project can be completed as soon as our superiors want!"At another location, one of the admins in charge of organizing logistics was talking to a truck driver. "Make sure all these materials get to the site, no delays as ordered by our superiors!"&nb

A few weeks later, Daren and Naumi had a big party prepared by Make and Evelyn. It was held in a large garden that had been beautifully decorated with flowers and sparkling lights. The party was to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Davidson company and to celebrate the birth of Naumi and Daren's quadruplets. Guests begin to arrive, dressed in outfits that match the theme of the event. The atmosphere tonight is absolutely buzzing.Daren and Naumi stood at the entrance, welcoming the guests with big smiles.Their four babies were in baby boxes. "Welcome, thank you for coming," Daren said as he shook the hands of the guests. Naumi was so happy tonight, she looked like a fairytale queen. In the midst of the crowd, Make and Evelyn made sure all the preparations went smoothly."Make sure there's food on every table," Make told the catering staff. "And don't forget to always check the drinks."As for Evelyn, she directed the guests to the seating area. "Please sit here, the show

Under a cloudy sky, Daren and Naumi walked slowly towards Green-Wood Cemetery, the final resting place of Daren's parents. Their graves were located side by side, with sturdy and well-organized tombstones.Daren grasped Naumi's hand tightly. "This is my mom and dad's grave, honey."Naumi nodded slowly, sensing the sadness on Daren's face. Then, Daren and Naumi knelt in front of the tombstones."Mom, Dad, this is Daren. I've come with Naumi, my wife who is pregnant with your grandchild. Daren wants to ask for your blessings and prayers so that Naumi's pregnancy is healthy, runs smoothly and our baby is born healthy," said Daren. "Please pray for Naumi, so that Naumi is strong and healthy," Naumi added. Daren and Naumi took a moment of silence, letting the silence speak between them. After a while, Daren hugged Naumi tightly."I wish my mom and dad were still alive," Daren whispered.Naumi smiled softly. "God loves your mom and dad more, honey, that's why God took your mom and dad. Y

The next morning, the doctor came to check Naumi's condition. Daren sat by his wife's bedside, waiting anxiously as the doctor performed the examination."How is she, Doctor?" asked Daren in a worried tone.The doctor smiled soothingly. "Miss Naumi's condition is stable, but she still needs intensive care at least until the day after tomorrow. We want to make sure everything goes well."Naumi breathed a sigh of relief at the doctor's explanation. "Thank you, Doctor."Daren decided to have a further consultation with the doctor after the examination was over. "Doctor, may I speak with you privately?""Of course, Mr. Daren," the doctor replied. They moved to a corner of the room to talk further."Actually, Naumi has had two miscarriages before," Daren said in a low voice. "I'm very worried that it could happen again."The doctor nodded with understanding. "I understand your concern, Mr. Daren. We will do our best to maintain Naumi's condition and her pregnancy. There are some things we
