Mirabel was left dazed as she sat in the sitting room with other members of the Martinez family to watch the current trending news.Normally, it was a time for bonding with the family members but seeing the news, none had the guts to smile or even utter a word.The sitting room was as silent as could be with a few even holding their breaths in shock.[... And I will be opening a charity organization to help the less privileged find their way in this great city]Indeed, that was Richard's voice and the news the Martinez household was watching was his press conference.Everyone had already heard about it and a few calls had already come in from those acquainted with the household, praising the Martinez family for having such a glorious son-in-law but only those within the house knew that it was hardly the case.Each of them had maltreated Richard endlessly, not even giving him a chance to breathe up until he was forced to move in with Anna.It was a case where they knew well enough that

James grew worried as he noticed the number of doctors standing before his target's door.He'd been informed by Mirabel to take care of Anna and so, he planned to take her out of the asylum once there was no one checking on her.Previously, he'd administered a drug that caused Anna to fall into a deep sleep to facilitate his plans of taking her away.But then with the doctors currently standing at the doorway, he couldn't help but grow worried.Had his plans been found out?However, as he got close, he realized that it wasn't that he was caught but instead, the enemy had already arrived.He was quite familiar with Richard Smith due to his connection with Mirabel which meant there was no way he wouldn't recognize him.Taking a moment, he quickly decided to use the doctors' presence to send Richard away long enough to finish the job.However, from the looks of it, it didn't seem to be an easy task.***"Who are you?" One of the doctors questioned harshly.Richard calmly replied. "You ma

Micky was a member of the Dawson family, owners of Rosario Pharmaceuticals.Melinda was his sister but unlike her, he was a spoiled brat that only knew how to party and hook up with girls.His parents naturally indulged his excesses as he was the only boy they had and so was the heir to the conglomerate.If not for Melinda's connection with their grandfather, Micky was assured of the position since their family was the main one.Regardless, he didn't bother to work and even made it a hobby to make use of all Dawson properties like it was his own.Those from the Branch families didn't dare to slight him for fear that once he became the head of the conglomerate, he would make their lives a living hell which meant he did whatever he wanted without restraint.Like right now, as he utilized the Dawson's beach estate as his own, throwing an extravagant party and turning the place into his personal clubhouse.As he partied with several women about him, he seemed to be enjoying life only for

With the Smithsonian filled to the brim, those present were frantic for the auction to begin.Unfortunately, Miranda wasn't present and none in the Smith family dared to take her place.Veronica took her place beside Diego, revealing her stance on who she truly supported during the auction.Several other prominent members of the Smith family followed suit and stayed with other families, leading to a competition where the dignitary with the most Smith family members on their side was most likely to be the winner of the auction.At this point, Diego was in the lead with Veronica's presence as she was a part of the main family.Watching her family abandon what they once called home caused Miranda anguish as she watched everything from her study on the top floor."Even if the others left, I wouldn't have expected even you, Veronica," Miranda muttered softly.Despite being completely healthy, it was hard to miss the age lines forming on her face.Taking a deep breath, she inquired. "Has th

With the auction over, the Smithsonian hall was emptied of guests and instead, the Smith family was left behind.Richard sat at the place of importance with Miranda seated beside him on the right and Maria standing on the right.Silence loomed over the hall as Richard regarded everyone present with light disdain.Not even one of them had shown regard for the Smith family and had abandoned it to side with foreigners.It was pathetic, to say the least.Then, his gaze landed on Veronica who was glaring hatefully at him."Do you have something you wish to say?" "Get off that chair, you bastard!... You aren't worthy of it." Veronica spat coldly.Richard chuckled. "But I own everything now, even the clothes on your back. At this point, Veronica, I am your master.""..." Veronica trembled, horribly angered by the fact that Richard was right.Richard smirked. "I am your master and you will treat me as such. For your outburst just now, I believe it's right you stay without food for two days."
