“ Are you kidding me right now? How do you expect me to secure a contract with Mr Bald’s company in a week? It's impossible!” Arabella stated. “ I don't fucking care, just get the contract done. Why are you here if you can't bring just a contract for us? Our new drugs need to be out in the market i
Mr Bald stared at Ryvan for some seconds before bursting into a thunderous laughter. He continued laughing for over a minute without stopping. He just found what Ryvan said funny. “ Even if you're a con artist, can't you just make me believe you?” Mr Bald's expression turned stern. “ Do I look l
Despite Arabella's pull on Ryvan, he didn't budge or attempted to stand up. “ What are you doing, Ryvan? Let's go meet Mr Bald.” Arabella said with a small pout. “ Don't worry, he will come looking for me himself.” Ryvan said casually, causing Arabella to frown. “ Are you serious right now? Mr Ba
Ryvan was shocked to the core, but he slowly regained himself and smiled at Arabella. “ You look so pretty.” He muttered, his eyes darting to her red plumpy lips. “ Can I have a taste of your lips?” He blurted out, causing Arabella to blush heavily. “ Y..yes.” she muttered, her breath hitching.
“ What? How possible is that? Mr Bald personally signed the contract with me this morning.” Arabella became confused all of a sudden. She had no idea where it all went wrong, but she knew the original contract was with her. “ Don't try to play smart Dickson, if no one saw what you did, I clearly s
Arabella who was excited turned to find Ruta at the door to her office, her smile immediately disappeared. “ Every disappointment is a blessing, I must say.” Arabella said, her gaze fixed on Rita. Rita immediately knew where she was heading towards and who she directed her words at. It was at her
Ryvan chuckled nervously. “ It's not the right time. We have a celebration tomorrow at Grandpa's hall, so we will go visit my friend after that.” Ryvan said and waited a few seconds for the response of Arabella. He was praying desperately within himself that Arabella won't escalate the matter an
After Ryvan left Arabella's house, he flagged a cab, heading towards his villa. As the cab drove, he noticed two black cars trailing behind him. He had no idea who was knife the car because it had tinted glass, but Ryvan knew they were after him. He told the cab driver to drop him off at an annex
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
