“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Maximus asked his gaze on the direction of the food. “Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Victoria replied with ease. Maximus realized that she seemed to have given up and at this point a mere killing of Victoria would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Victoria, he wanted Victoria to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Maximus finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Maximus was out of sight, Victoria realized that he didn’t have human sympathy. It was slowly beginning to appear to her that Maximus would be the first person to celebrate her death. At first, Victoria had believe death would be the ultimate price for all her suffering, but she refused that option, when she realized that she had Maverick to live for. Victoria knew that she wasn’t going to die and allow his son

CHAPTER 103Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Christopher”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Christopher walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Christopher was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Christopher! Christopher!”Christopher could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Christopher.Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Christopher “How do I

Dave walked straight right up into the hall. He had been informed by his father that there was going to be a dinner prepared for the heir. He wasn't around after all and who else could the heir be apart from him? He was just going to go there and take over what was rightfully his. Meanwhile, after Christopher heard these words, his hands were forged into a ball. He stood up from the point that he was standing, getting Raymond even more confused than he was already. "Where are you going, young master?" Raymond could not help but inquire since he was extremely confused but Christopher did not give any response. Rather he went ahead to ask the question that had been longing in his mind all this while. "If he isn't here to say Hello, then what is his motive?" He inquired. "Before your grandfather regretted his decision, Dave's father has always been the one overseeing the company. But that was until a year ago. He was caught in some financial crime. Enough to have built his own compa

Mia couldn’t believe that she had fallen into her own trap this time and now, her own words have been twisted against her.She immediately changed the subject of their discussion and diverted it towards the pending issue at hand, Samuel and Elizabeth.“Let’s not get carried away by such mere distractions now” Mia said as she pulled out her phone from a small purse beside her.Raising a brow, she slightly waved it in the air “Shall we?”Nodding his head Christopher occupied a sitting position on the other end of the bench before Mia handed his phone over to him.Mia requested for Samuel’s contact which he immediately sent to her.“Should I also send Elizabeth’s, we might be needing it too”“Don’t bother, I already have it”Christopher stared at Mia with a questioning look on his face as he had both his brows raised.Noticing this, Mia became curious, wondering what she might have possibly said or done to warrant such a look.“What?” Looking away from her phone’s screen, she questioned

The dimming of the sun and the slow darkening of the day was obvious enough to announce the gradual approach of the evening to anyone who looked up in the sky.Due to the presence of ashy looking clouds in the sky, she could already tell there was a slight tendency it might rain that day.Or maybe it was just an exaggerated indication of the evening’s approach.Still sitting on the swing bench in the garden with her left ear occupied by an active earbud, she had a book in her hand.The book she had sat there reading all morning. It was fascinating that she could delve into the world of fiction simply.A soft cold wind blew Mia and sent chilly shivers down her spine. Because of this, the hairs on her arms began to stand, causing goosebumps to appear all over her body.This gave her a tingling sensation as she shivered and began rubbing both her arms with her palms, trying to warm up a little.It was almost as if nature was suspending her activity on the bench, sending her back into th
