Arabella smirked upon hearing what Franco just said. “ I don't think that would be possible because my small company isn't big enough to accept you back, Franco.” Arabella said, causing a frown to appear on Ryvan's face. “ Do you know him?” “ Yes, he worked at Brandall Medicine a few months ago
Just when they were about to rush towards him, Ryvan saw an iron bat by the side of the road. He immediately took it and wrapped his palm around it, waiting for the second batch of men who were about to strike. Ryvan stood tall, gripping the bat tightly. The ten batch of men circled him, sneering
BRANDALL MANSION While heading home, Arabella got a call from Bruce for a hangout. At first, she wanted to refuse as she was already tired from the day's activities, but when she remembered Ryvan and Eva, she agreed to hangout with him. Bruce met her on the way and took her with his car, while h
Arabella was getting prepared for work when she heard noises from downstairs, causing a sigh to escape her lips. She knew for a fact that the house would be all noisy for the next few days, until after Henry's birthday. She dressed in corporate wear and headed downstairs. Upon getting to the sitt
Time flew so fast and it was finally Henry's 65th birthday. The Brandall's mansion was filled with celebration and it lit up brightly. The neon light illuminated through the darkness, as slow music from the piano played softly. Many people from inside and outside of Atlanta came, dressed in luxu
Just when she was about to speak up, Lilith came rushing towards them. “ Sis, Grandpa wants you at the banquet now!” Lilith said as she held Arabella's hand. “ I need to talk to him.” Arabella replied but Lilith dragged her. “ You might get disowned if you keep protecting this good-for-nothin
After leaving the banquet party, Arabella almost regret her decision. She had made a bold step and now, she was filled with regrets. “ What have I gotten myself into?” She muttered as she stood by the road side with no particular destination in mind. Arabella would have gone to an hotel if she
Arabella was sleeping soundly on the bed when her phone rang. She groaned and took it from the drawer, before picking up the call. “ Hello, this is Arabella, who am I speaking with?” Arabella asked. “ Sis!” Lilith called. “ Lilith, what happened?” “ Grandpa had an heart attack last night, we ar
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
