Chris reached the car waiting and Ria followed after him with a look of urgency. Before he got into the already opened black car, she stopped him. “Chris! Why are you doing this?” She asked frantically, her eyes hurt and demanding answers. “What do you mean?” He frowned. “Do you just want to go back on your words now? She asked. “You asked me to summon Reid and everything and now you just want to bolt away because of Ria?”“Do you realize you are putting me in deep waters with Reid and the rest? How do you want me to–”“Tha’s none of my business, Ria.” Chris cut her off. “What?” She gasped. “Well, I do not care if I go through with what I planned with you. Who are you to stop me?” Chris sneered. “But–”“No buts, Ria. You have absolutely no say here. Get into a car and let’s go.” He ordered and in the next second, he got into the car, causing Alexander to quickly go to him as well. There was another car waiting for Ria and the Ricos and as she stood there frozen, Alexander look

“Mia, is everything ready?” Mia heard a thick voice, coming straight from outside her door. She sat before the mirror with a weary look on her face, as if she was going to fall apart any second from that moment. However, she mustered up the courage to reply. “Yes, mother. Everything is ready.” She said, her tone croaked and heavy. In the next second, she heard receding footsteps and she knew she was alone in the house for now. As she stood up to her feet, she slightly kicked the mirror and it fell straight toward her. Mia took a step back, not fazed by the sharp sound of the shattering mirror and the glass shards that pierced her skin. She just didn't want to see herself in the mirror anymore. She was a shadow of herself after the incident on the rooftop. She lied against Chris and even with all that she did, she didn't get what she wanted. Her family which she tried to save were now packing out of their home. They lost their business since Reid and his friends didn't keep their e

Three days later…Chris was done with the project he was handling and as he successfully launched it, he handed the rest of the work over to butler Rico. At this point, he was at the rooftop of the company building and Butler Rico had a blank look on his face. But the way he was so stiff, made his emotions very obvious. “You can come visit sometime soon…” Chris patted his shoulders. Behind him was Ria, who looked around warily, hoping all this wasn't a setup. She couldn't believe that she was finally going home! But at the back of her mind, she wondered if Chris really wanted to give her freedom or subject her to even more misery. She could see now that there was no escaping from him and she had to do whatever she could to make him cast his merciful eyes on her. “Goodbye…” Chris whispered to butler Rico. He turned around to get into the plane, while the other Ricos followed after him. Ria was the last to board the plane. As soon as they took off, Chris called out to her, “Ria, do

Ria’s lips quivered at the sound of Chris’s voice and his choice of words. Her eyes looked away from him with an embarrassed look as she bowed her head in shame. “What… what are you saying?” She whispered, trying to act clueless. For the past grueling hours she had spent in the cell, she had been hoping Chris wouldn't gain access to her phone but now, she wasn't sure if he had. The way he looked at her, showed irritation and dislike. She had worked so hard to be close to him, so he could look at her and not Mia. But she ended up ruining everything when she fell into Mateo’s trap. No matter how she wanted to be with Chris, she chose herself at that moment. And now, she regretted it. When Chris had spared her life, she thought she could have a second chance at her life and so, she contacted Reid, Ren, and Mike with a hidden phone she had for years. But everything seemed to have backfired! She felt torn. Now, she was waiting on Chris’ verdict. “You know what I am saying…” Chris sn

One day later…“Why are you so enthusiastic today? You didn’t want to see me anytime soon.” Victoria smiled as she walked into the shooting range with a playful look. “Also, you are still injured.”“I am leaving,” Chris responded, adjusting his stance due to his injury.“But that doesn’t mean you have to overwork yourself, you still have to manage a project, don’t you?” Victoria wasn’t surprised that Chris was leaving, she was only worried about him stressing. However, Chris had a question for her. “Why does my father want me back home?” He asked. This was the same way he was told to leave home, without a clue of whatever he was going to do back at home. And now, the same was happening. “I think you should ask him–”“Do you think he is going to tell me?” I cut her off, irritatedly. “No.” She shook her head. “I shouldn't be blamed for that though.”“Yes. But you know why! I need to know too. Don’t keep me in the dark.” Chris was pleading with his eyes. Somehow, he seemed to suspec

“What?” Chris’ frown turned even deeper as Rico placed a few documents on his table. He stared at the documents for a long while before taking them up as he was scared that he would find something that would shatter his mind and heart even further.What did Butler Rico mean by saying Ria betrayed him from the start? He couldn’t wrap his head around it as Chris wondered whether it all started back at his home. Was it when he met Ria at first at the party? Or was it when she obsessively wanted to associate with him? Either way, he would only find out when he finally checked the document.And as soon as Chris laid his eyes on the contents of the documents, he looked shocked, and his mind blew up in disbelief. His eyes scanned through several chats between three different people Ria had been in contact with. None of them was Mateo, but they were Reid, Ren, and Mike.Ria was in close contact with them and it seemed she had the old phone ever since with her and one peculiar chat caught Chri
