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
Everyone turned abruptly to Dickson, whose eyes widened in shock and fear. Murmurs and whispers flew around the hall. “ What are you saying? My son can never do such a thing! He can't stop so low!” Janet shouted angrily. “ Well, that son of yours did stoop low. He wanted to make my wife kneel and
After Dickson’s apology, the meeting was dismissed and everyone except for Dickson and his family left to their various houses. “ I told you that you're no match for me.” Dickson stepped forward to challenge Ryvan. “ I think it's the opposite.” Ryvan replied calmly, maintaining his calm yet cold g
RAYMOND’S MANSION Thompson walked into the mansion weakly, his face pale and covered in blood. His eyes were weak and shrunken. “ Thompson!” Mrs Raymond rushed towards her son, her eyes widening at intervals. “ What happened to you?” Bruce rushed towards his brother, worry etched on his face.
Mr Raymond stormed out of Dave's office, his eyes red with anger. “ I can't believe she was given a second chance. Did she sleep with Dave or what?” Bruce muttered as he walked behind Mr Raymond. “ Isn't it time to visit the Brandall family? I need to make that bastard pay for what he did to Tho
“ Okay! Okay! That's okay. Mr Raymond, we should discuss it.” Henry nodded agreeably. He was unaware of the impending storm that had fallen on the Raymond family. Immersed in his anger towards Ryvan, Arabella and her family, he was oblivious to the tension that was eating Mr Raymond up. Mr Raymon
Mr Raymond gulped in fear. He had no explanation to give or argue with the FBI. “ Fa…father, is it true?” Bruce stuttered, his gaze fixed on his father. Mr Raymond avoided his gaze because he was too embarrassed. “ Enough with the chatting, arrest him!” The leader of the FBI said and almost im
It was a Monday morning and as Arabella was instructed, she prepared to return to Brandall's Medicine. Though she wasn't excited about it, she had no option. If she wanted to prove to Henry and the other members of the family, she had to start from somewhere. Being idle wouldn't solve or help her
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
