Later that evening, Dennis arrived at Eden in his black Ferrari. The car, being one of a kind naturally drew attention and everyone's gaze suddenly shifted towards it to see who would be coming out of the custom-made luxurious car.Margaret, Sasha, and Sylvia sat together at the same table while waiting for Jakob to arrive.Margaret had decided to bury her reservations for that night and as promised, she would not bring up the conversations about the prenuptial clause Jakob arrived shortly after and sat beside Sasha. He told Sasha as soon as he sat down "I've got a surprise that I can't wait to show you"Sasha smiled even wider and just then, Jakob affectionately grazed her palms and stood up,At this moment, he took the stage and began his welcoming speech "I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight to celebrate us. In a few days I'll be getting married to this beautiful woman beside me and tonight I just want to make sure she has a good time tonight. So drink, eat and have a

It was finally time for the gift-giving and the esteemed guests had to move to the high tableIn Eden, several banquet tables had been set up in the main hall with banners celebrating the union of Sasha and Jakob. However, the high table was unoccupied till the gift-giving part of the night where the family members and some esteemed guests would be invited to join the celebrants in receiving and giving out their gifts.Again, after Jakob's and Sasha's families were settled, Jakob once again took the stage and started, raising a wine glass. At this time all the guests, particularly the young rich CEOs who only showed up for a chance at Diana, and the promise of the surprise reveal of an important guest later that night were settled and eagerly waiting for Jakob's announcement."It is with pleasure that I make this announcement. I know most of you all saw the media posts, and that is probably why you are here, to see what the big surprise is" Jakob joked"Now, I promised not to reveal

"Twelve million dollars?" Some people in the crowd immediately gasped in shock and started murmuring"Clearly, she must have read the numbers wrong," one person said Sylvia pursed her lips in disbelief, there it was boldly printed on the price tag. She couldn't believe it, no one could"It must be fake!" Jakob blurted furiously, stood up and marched onto the stage "Don't you see what is happening here? He thinks we are fools, that is why he can come in here and show us a fake painting that he probably bribed the seller at a flea market to add a few more zeros, I mean look at the painting. How real does it look?"At this time, most of the guests started murmuring about the authenticity of the art piece.Jakob started sneering "Mr Apollo, Isn't it a little distasteful for you to try and fool me at my engagement party, despite your wealth, couldn't you afford a real gift?"Dennis smiled faintly and asked, "What makes you think it's fake Mr Jakob?" This was the moment he had waited all

"What the hell have you done with her?!" Dennis yelled agitatedly, clenching his fists in angerGraham chuckled condescendingly further aggravating DennisAt this time, Dennis had run out of patience, he huffed and clenched his fists angrily "You have one minute, start talking!" He growled, Yet again, Graham cracked a wry laugh, and said "You're not going to do anything to me, that's if you ever want to find her again"Graham was right, Dennis thought. If he beat him unconscious here, there would be no way to know where Kuza was imprisoned, and worse Rico could find out what she was. The few times he saw her, he had an air of suspicion about her, that was why Dennis had tried to keep Kuza hiddenAt this time, he wondered how Graham even found and captured her, was she not in Ruelle's care?"Oh don't worry Mr Apollo, the other woman. You're wondering about her, right? We didn't kill her. B*tch and her goons put up a tough fight, but in the end that wasn't enough" Graham interjected in

Diana was very curious about the strange events that happened that nightFirst was the ancient painting worth millions of dollars. She knew Dennis was a member of the Apollo family, but even then he wouldn't be able to spend that much money on a gift unless somehow he had access to their money.Her uncle had informed her that Dennis was estranged from the family, but he could be the key to them acquiring the Apollo wealth if she played her cards rightSomething was not adding up, and who was this mysterious girl she never heard of until this evening? Diana hated to admit it, because she always felt like a walking goddess, but seeing Dennis's reaction to her getting captured, she couldn't help but feel a little threatened.It was obvious, that whoever this girl was to Dennis, she would turn out to be her competition and Diana could not allow anyone to get in the way of her real mission here.For a moment, she thought whether to allow her despicable brother do to her as they pleased, b
