The taxi drove off straight to the hotel at which Arabella's old school gathering was taking place. Upon getting there, the restaurant was bubbling with so much cheers, causing a frown to appear on Ryvan's face. Inside the restaurant were many people of different status, all gathered around Arabel
As they all turned around to see who it was, it turned out to be Ryvan. He stood by the stairs in his full glory, causing Arabella's classmates to murmur and whisper at each other. Arabella was equally surprised. She had no idea how Ryvan knew the venue for the gathering, but somehow, she was hap
As soon as Ryvan and Arabella left the restaurant, their eyes met and at once, they both burst into laughter. “ What the hell did we just display back then?” Arabella asked as she chuckled. “ You're really an actor.” Arabella said once more. “ Let's leave, it's getting late.” Ryvan stopped smilin
After washing up, Arabella went straight to Henry's mansion which was just a few minutes walk away from the Brandall's mansion. Upon arriving, every member of the Brandall's family were all gathered. It was a full house. As soon as she stepped in, murmurs and whispers filled the hall, but Arabell
“ What do you mean? How did it happen?” Arabella asked, her head was a mess already. “ I…..I don't know….but I think the materials were fake. If they were real, nothing of such would have happened.” Mr Rogers narrated, causing Arabella to open her mouth to speak, but no word came out. “ How is
“ Mr Kesley, do you want me to handle the Raymond family?” Dave asked, but Ryvan shook his head, a creepy smile dancing at the corners of his lips. That smile only appears when he's got plans up his sleeves. “ Leave them to me, and also, let me know when Fang smuggles the Raymond's family goods.
“ Let me go! Do you know what my brother will do to you once he finds out?” Thompson asked, but Ryvan totally ignored him, as he continued dragging him out of the club by his shirt. No one dared stop him. His face, expression and aura was screaming danger and like a plague, they all gave way for
The entrance door of the hall opened and Ryvan walked majestically into the hall. As soon as they saw that it was him, they all hissed while some rolled their eyes before returning their gaze to Henry. “ Why are you here, this late?” Henry asked, his gaze fixated on Ryvan who stood beside Arabel
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
