“Welcome home, darling,” Mrs. Bella says as she welcomes Mia in. “Go in, take a shower, and come out and have a nicely cooked meal I made myself,” she said, smiling.“Thank you, grandma; I’ve been waiting for a long time for that.” She says this, smiling.“But before that, please let me introduce my family to you. This is Lucas, Emma, and my stepmother, and this is Mrs. Bella, my mother-in-law,” Mia says."Welcome, please come in and have a seat. I’ve always wanted to meet you,” she says, inviting them in."Richard, please take Mia to her room and help her get dressed up so we can all have dinner together and get to know one another.” Mrs. Bella says:.“Thank you for everything,” Mia says, hugging Mrs. Bella."Common, let’s go,” Christopher says as he leads her to the room. “You have to freshen up, take your drugs, and look beautiful for the dinner.” Richard continues.Mia smiles as they both walk to the room, without observing the fact that Emma has been looking at them disdainfully
“Where are we going? What of grandma? What do we do about her? Is there anywhere we can run to that he won’t find us?” Mia asks, looking desperate.“I don’t know, but I think I know what to do now that you mention it. I’ll confront him; it’s better to confront him than to keep running all my life. I know I didn’t do right by him, but I’m tired of being pestered and running for my life.” Christopher says,“What are you saying if he kills you? I still don’t get it. What exactly did you take away from him?” Mia asks,“Let me tell you the full story: five years ago, Jack and I were working on a project that involved five million dollars. It was supposed to be our breakthrough project that would bring the big money we’ve always been looking for. But we were short of funds to finance it, and we had to take drastic measures. There was this man, Mr. Roosevelt. He was the boss of a multimillionaire company that made billions in revenue. He had built up a stack of gold as a backup for his fina
She brought down his hand and collected the glass of wine from him, putting it back on the table.“How dare you speak to the heir in such a manner? Have you no respect?” “You could’ve been put behind bars if you you had spilled as little as a drop of that drink on his suit” Matilda said calmly with a very serious look on her face“By the way that suit you just called fake, is worth all the cars in your Father’s garage combined”“How da…Do not interfere!” Elizabeth was about to speak before she was aburptly interrupted by Matilda.Suddenly Richard burst out into an uncontrollably loud laughter as everyone else followed suit.He continued to laugh out loud for a while, holding his belly until the effect of Matilda’s words slowly died down.“Being the heir to the janitor's closet is certainly not a position you should be flaunting around in such vicinity” he said sarcastically.“And just who do you think you are to have spoken to me in that manner, do you know who I am?” Richard asked,
He let it ring the first time thinking that the caller might have made a mistake and would not resend the call.After a short while, it rang again and this time he picked it up furiously wondering who it might have been that was bent on disturbing his sleep that very early in the morning.As soon as he got a hold of his phone, he hissed and rolled his eyes upon realizing that it was just his alarm.A few days before Anna rescued him from being crippled by Richard’s bodyguards, his routine for the past few years had required him to wake up very early in the mornings for deliveries.He took up the mid-morning shift and the day shift at the delivery services due to the fact that he was desperate to make ends meet.He dismissed the alarm and sat up, realizing that he couldn't fall asleep anymore.“Man, this delivery job has really messed up my sleeping routine” He thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head, yawning with his mouth wide open.Now that he was fully awake and he
The entire place was arranged and decorated with ornamental flowers of different kinds, from the ceiling to the very floor of the hall. ...the types she liked.The exquisite place was a hall adorned with soft, twinkling fairy lights that draped from the ceiling, which was complemented by the glowing crystal chandeliers that hung down from the ceiling.The reflection of the lights on the floor was magnificent; it was quite obvious that the floors had been thoroughly sprayed and polished.Given how few the tables and chairs were, it almost looked like a dinner party for a very limited number of guests.On almost all sides of the hall were snack tables. The name of the hall was Masa, one of the biggest and most expensive luxury restaurants situated on that side of Midland City.He bought out the entire place for a special event that he wanted to host.He had planned out something grand for that day, and it was all for one person.Staring at the quality of his expenses and slowly nodding
Ana stared at Mia for a second, trying to process what her best friend had just said about the Maximus man...."You know saying such a thing without evidence against a man of such nature is very dangerous right?" She lowered her voice, trying to allow no one else here their conversation."Look, the rumours in this city are always true and if what they say about Maximus being a rapist is real, then I think I would be justified." Mia was about to say something, but a sudden uproar behind them had cut her shut.They both watched as a man engaged his partner in a heated argument, before eventually pouring a milkshake on his head. Mia felt pity for the innocent woman and even though Mia warned her not to move from her seat, she felt the urge to go console her.While taking a seat beside the woman, Mia was about to speak her first word, when she felt her phone buzz through her purse. She excused herself and pulled out the phone to see what was happening. It turned out to be a text message
"We have found critical information about the sister Lucy and apparently, she is admitted in the infamous Star hospital." Wiles listened attentively as his informant spoke on the phone."How many guards are with her?" Wiles asked."Guards? There is no security threat boss, it's almost like the man forgot he had a sister." Hearing those words gave Wiles a glimpse of hope. It was the perfect plan to have to end his sister and destabilize the new heir."Very well then, wait for me right there and I and the men would be with you in a minute." It was the moment he had been waiting for, it almost felt like things were meant to happen this way for him to do all he needed to do.Wiles attempted ringing Maximus, but the line wasn't going through and this made him believe that his boss would have call the shot on Lucy.Heading outside the apartment, some of his men were outside and together they got into the long black vehicle. Wiles had one thing in mind and that was to end it up on one clean
“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Maximus asked his gaze on the direction of the food. “Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Victoria replied with ease. Maximus realized that she seemed to have given up and at this point a mere killing of Victoria would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Victoria, he wanted Victoria to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Maximus finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Maximus was out of sight, Victoria realized that he didn’t have human sympathy. It was slowly beginning to appear to her that Maximus would be the first person to celebrate her death. At first, Victoria had believe death would be the ultimate price for all her suffering, but she refused that option, when she realized that she had Maverick to live for. Victoria knew that she wasn’t going to die and allow his son
