Ryvan got to his villa late at night. He couldn't sleep a wink as his mind wandered about the incident which took place earlier. Not many knew him as the Captain of Crested Knights, so why then were they after him? He wondered. Ryvan was still lost in thought when a call came in. He checked the
“ Grandpa, you really haven't seen him brag. This is just the beginning.” Bruce chuckled sarcastically. “ Could you believe he lied to everyone at the fencing club that he knew who Dave was and also that he lives at a villa, not any kind of villa Grandpa, but in Sky Palace.” Lilith found it ridic
The weekend ended so fast and soon, Monday arrived. Inside the Brandall mansion, Arabella was preparing to go see Tyson Bill for signing of the contract. She was dressed in a corporate suit and her hair packed in a ponytail. Just when she was about to leave her room, her phone rang. She took the
Arabella returned to the Brandall's mansion at exactly 6:30pm. She wanted to get to Roseburg hotel on time. “ Check this gown out, Arabella, I saw it on my way this evening.” Malice walked into Arabella's room with a red gown in her hand. “ I told you I don't need any more clothes, didn't I?” A
“ Do you know who I am?” Tyson bragged, making Ryvan to chuckle as he took a step closer to him. “ You're Tyson Bill, you have a company under Dave, and your net worth is $40 million.” Ryvan said, his eyes fixed on Tyson who shifted back in fear. “ Who.. the .…fuck ….are …you?” he stuttered.
Inside the Brandall's mansion, Arabella woke up but was struck with a headache. She blinked rapidly, hoping for the headache to slowly leave her head, but it got even worse. She groaned as she struggled to sit upright on her bed. Looking around, she found out that she was in her room, which got h
Arabella kept staring at Ryvan for some seconds, contemplating if she could trust him or not. “ Trust me just this once.” Ryvan said in his deep masculine voice which made Arabella's heart flutter again. ‘ What is he doing to me? Get a grip of yourself Arabella!’ She scolded herself inwardly.
Arabella couldn't hold in her chuckle anymore. The look on Tyson's face was indeed funny that even the men behind him couldn't help but stiffen their chuckles. After a few seconds, Tyson closed his mouth and faced Ryvan with a deadly glare. “ Do you really think I will believe what you say? I'm
The meeting finally came to an end and everyone returned to their villa to rest for the night. Ryvan wanted to leave and head to his place, but Arabella didn't let him. She wanted him to stay the night with her in her room. If it was just a few hours ago, Malice would never allow such, that was t
Just when Dickson was about to fall on his knees, his father, David, stopped him. “ Arabella, tell me whatever you need, but I can't let my son kneel before a woman like you.” David said, causing Arabella to scoff as she bit her lips to avoid saying inappropriate words. ‘ Still haven't learnt yo
“ Dickson, step forward!” Henry called and Dickson walked towards the podium, his head bowed in shame. “ Are you ready to tell the truth about the contract or do you want it forced out of your mouth?” Henry asked coldly. He was no more the sweet and biassed grandpa, who would always side him even
Arabella was still sniffling slowly, her arms wrapped around Ryvan like her life would come to an end if she let go. Ryvan didn't break the hug; instead, they remained in the same position for over five minutes, the dim light coming from the street bulb shone brightly on their faces. After Arabell
Arabella swiftly turned to Ryvan, her eyes still filled with shock from what Mr Bald had said a few minutes before leaving. “ Is he saying the truth?” She asked, her voice barely above whisper. “ Let's talk when we get home.” Ryvan replied. “ What he said about you, is it true?” Henry couldn't h
Everywhere turned silent, as everyone stared and focused their gazes on Dickson, who felt like the ground should open and swallow him. This was what he was trying so badly to avoid. But, he wasn't aware that Ryvan and Arabella would invite Mr Bald to the party, and because of that, he was in a tig
As Henry glanced at Ryvan, he just couldn't take off his mind from earlier. If he was really a prominent man like Dave said, why would he remain as a son-in-law in the family who treated him like trash? “ Grandpa, is there a problem?” Dickson walked towards Henry, jolting him out of his trance. “
The air was filled with anticipation at Henry's villa. It was finally the day of the celebration. Twinkling lights strung across the sprawling gardens, creating a magical atmosphere. Laughter and music drifted through the evening ajr, mingling with the scent of blooming jasmine. The hall was fil
“ If I were to follow my instincts, you would be on your way to the gate of Hades right now, but I guess I will let them handle you.” Ryvan said and stood up, calmly shoving his hands back into his pocket. He looked like a gentleman once again. If not for the fact that Bruce had seen him beat u
