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
Nevertheless, the men threw Ryvan out of the ward. “ I never knew that you could do such a thing, dear cousin.” Dickson said, causing a frown to appear on Arabella's face. From the look on her face, it was obvious she had no idea what he was talking about. “ What did I do? Because, as far as I
“ With the contract from the Chamber of Commerce, Arabella can build her own company and leave Brandall Medicine for you all.” Ryvan smiled and looked at Arabella who had a shock expression on her face. She never thought in her wildest dream that Ryvan could stand up for when her own family aband
Upon arriving at his villa, Ryvan wasted no time in calling Dave, since the matter at hand was urgent. Dave picked up after the second ring, his baritone voice filled the phone. “ Good evening Mr. Kesley.” “ Dave, can you do me a favour?” Ryvan asked. “ If it's within my power, I can do anything
It felt as if all the breath in her lungs were drained. The figures kept making her eyes widened with each second. “ Since you've seen it, can you return my daughter's phone?” Malice smirked and roughly took the phone from Janet who was still standing in bewilderment. After a few seconds, she r
Upon getting to the Brandall's mansion, Ryvan knocked on the door which was opened by Arabella. “ You're here!” Arabella smiled and hugged him before she could stop herself. Ryvan didn't hug her back because he was shocked to the core, but yet he composed himself before she could break the hug.
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
