Mariella Holmes was cursing Cassie and her mother, Eleanor, in her heart, as she had never liked her from the very beginning! There were indeed many secrets hidden in the core of her heart, but she had made sure that none of them ever jumped out of those dark chambers that she kept under lock and key.And with this determination, she had hidden the real reason of why she hated Eleanor from the depths of her soul, but today was different.Today she wanted to see her face willingly for the first time, and tell her how she was a bad omen to everyone who had ever crossed paths with her in their lifetime. And if it wasn't for her shares in their business, then she would never have accepted Eleanor's marriage to her only son.But it was probably the cruel play of destiny, and Mariella had even managed to accept her fate somehow, but that vixen had indeed proved to be a bad omen.Mariella's only son had left the world within two years of their marriage, increasing the intensity with which

After the man left him once again, with more questions than the answers he had been given, Connor found himself alone in his cell once again.After a resigned sigh, he accepted his fate for the time being, and retreated to the back of the room before slowly unfurling the chit wedged between his fingers.Although he had been expecting something absurd to be written - after all, he wasn't so naive to think that that man named Anthony was just doing him such a large favor in exchange for nothing.Still, he hadn't been expecting anything like this. The words in the chit were scribbled in a neat yet hurried handwriting. The words were squished together to make them fit inside the small piece of paper, and he almost squinted his eyes to read it against the faint light."Your first task is just to finish the next meal you are served, and make sure to finish it completely. That food contains an untraceable drug that will induce all the symptoms of a heart stroke in your body. Be mindful to

Only Mark knew how he had managed to spend the dark and gloomy hours of the night.And the moment the Goddess of Sleep finally decided to grace him with her kindness, his phone started ringing.Quickly opening his eyes, he received the call and heard about Connor getting a stroke. Immediately, he understood the fact that there was indeed something hidden from his eyes, that was yet to come to the surface.Mentioning to keep him updated, he decided to return to Rover mansion, as there were some things that Grandpa should know now, and also there are few things he wanted to ask him.Dropping a text to Alex, he stepped out of the room and headed towards his car.The drive was making him feel like the journey was never going to end.He was feeling like he had been on an endless journey in his life, and now, he didn't even remember the destination he had initially aimed for. In the middle of all this chaos, he had lost his real self.He had never felt this way before, even when he didn't h

Everyone stood up from their places the moment Jury entered the courtroom.Although Mark knew that they had every proof to pronounce Moira, Andrew, Mariella and Connor guilty, the court was definitely going to take one or two more trials to press their sentence.Especially after the fact that Connor Lawrence had really suffered a heart stroke.At the same time, he was still slightly positive that Andrew, Moira and Mariella Holmes might be sentenced today… but he was still feeling extremely uneasy in his heart.He didn't know the reason behind this absurd reaction by his body… was all of it related to the decision of the jury, or was it related to seeing Cassie sitting by the opposing lawyer?As he was sinking into the quagmire of this dilemma, he felt a hand on his shoulder and a sudden sense of calmness started to spread through his body.He noticed that it was Alex who took his seat by his side, and quickly leaned towards him to whisper in his ears;"Marcus, chill. Everything is sor

"So it was you who had planted the seeds of poison in our relationship."Cassie spoke the most bitter sentence she had ever imagined saying to someone, in her entire life… but she couldn't help it, because she felt the taste of venom on her tongue as soon as she heard him say those words. After all that had happened with her in the last few days, it had somehow made her bitter towards everyone, apart from Mark.Judging by the way he was commanding Violet and she was receiving his instructions obediently, this was a clear indication that Alex was familiar with her too.The tree of jealousy had already started spreading its roots in her heart and stretching its black branches through her entire being, after seeing Violet wrapping her arms around Mark many times, and Mark reacting positively to it.And now… this statement of Alex had made her believe that somehow, these two people were the antagonists of her love story… her entire life! She indeed wanted to say something further but he
