Immediately she arrived at the enormous living room, she stiffened and gazed at Dawson, who was attempting to stand up from his seat.Diana's blood began to boil, causing her to clench her fist as if she were about to wrestle someone.She felt like strangling Dawson because he was the reason her mother kicked Justin out of the house.Diana, on the other hand, was upset with her mother because she had lied to her about who the visitor was.“Hey, Diana,” Dawson said, motioning to Diana, who was staring at him with gritted teeth. “ Why have you been ignoring my calls?”“How dare you come to my father's house? Who gave you my address?” Diana clenched her fist and spoke with gritted teeth.“Come on, Diana. You should be happy seeing me here,” Dawson spoke as tried to cover the space between them.“Stay back, Dawson,” Diana said sternly, pointing her index finger at him, anger on her face.“Why should I, uh? Don't you need someone like me to comfort you? Do you want to live your life this wa

When they noticed Diana turning her head from her mother to stare intently at the television, they also turned to face the direction in which the big plasma screen was positioned.Their gaze was drawn to the prominently displayed news headline on the television screen.It says, “A WOMAN JUMPED OUT FROM A WINDOW ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF A TEN-STORY BUILDING.”The headline piqued their interest, and they were eager for the news reporter to read the story in depth.Just then, a short video of the woman jumping out the window and landing on the floor appeared on the screen. A security camera captured the tragic incident. “Here is the news in detail,” the reporter spoke after the video finally disappeared. “ A report reached us by our team that a certain woman whose name is Bianca Lawrence and a staff member in the Stanford business company jumped out of her office window during her working hours.“According to one of her colleagues, she explained that, when that happened, she rushed to Mrs.

“Father, I'm scared,” Wilson Rolland announced to his father as he sat opposite his father with his legs crossed.“You fear what exactly?” Mr. Rolland Elias asked as he puffed out smoke from his mouth.“Do you think we would succeed in this mission?” Wilson complained.“Stop speaking in parables and explain to me what you mean. What's it?” Mr. Rolland was outraged.“Come on, father. Why are you asking me questions as if you have no idea of our plans? I'm referring to our mission of finding out the secret behind Mr. Hemsworth's well. The whole thing is about to get out of hand,” Wilson let out.“What do you mean by that?” Mr. Rolland was lost. “ What made you think we can't find out his secrets and get rid of him, Wilson? Is Mr. Hemsworth a spirit? I'm convinced that you know how I have gotten rid of countless people without anyone questioning me.”“I know, father. No one questions you because they are aware of what you do in secret. However, keep in mind that our secrets are beginning

“Who is at the door?” Isabella inquired after a knock came from the door. Her thought was that it was Justin; he was the only one she was expecting to visit her.Justin's father had promised to promise them that he was going to talk to Justin about the situation at hand. So… she was eagerly expecting Mr. Hemsworth's call or Justin's unexpected visit.Isabella had been trying so hard to reach Justin, but his phone wasn't connecting because he blacklisted both Isabella's and her mom's phone numbers.She waited for the person to respond, but no one answered. “Who is at the door, please?” Isabella asked once more, yet there was no response.Fear gripped her, but she was convinced that it wasn't someone harmful. She gazed at the door, contemplating if he should go and check on the person or not.At that time, she was the only one at home because her Mom had gone out to visit a loved one, and she wanted Isabella to go with her, but she refused. Finally, Isabella stood up from her seat and

Isabella stiffened in one position, pondering what to do. She waited for Justin to come out of the car, but he didn't.She swallowed hard as she nervously played with her fingers. At last, she attempted to approach Justin, since that's what he wanted.Isabella placed the flowers she received from Liam on the ground. As she was about to walk past Liam, he held her hand and angrily pulled her back.“What do you think you're doing, Isabella?” Liam scolded her.Upon seeing that, Justin asked his guards to open the car door for him, and without delaying a second, one of them opened the car door.When Liam's bodyguards saw how Justin angrily stepped out of the car, they rushed to Liam, their master, to protect him in case Justin was coming to attack him.With his blood boiling and clenching his fist, Justin gestured towards the house entrance, where Liam and Isabella were standing. His guards followed him with their dangerous guns in their hands.Upon seeing how angry Justin was, Isabella to

Isabella was quiet for a while as anger took over her. She frowned at Justin as they glared at each other.She covered the space between her and Justin, inching her face closer to Justin's face as though she wanted to kiss him.“You either marry me to claim your child or stay away from me. You know what, I'm fed up with all these things. I can no longer force you to love me, Justin. It's left to you to decide what to do.” Isabella fearlessly announced as she grinned at Justin.Justin stood with his hands akimbo as he lowered his gaze at Isabella, who was standing an inch away from him.“That will never happen, Isabella,” Justin chuckled.“Then avoid me, Justin, because I'm no longer interested in you anymore. I have gotten someone ready to take care of both me and the unborn child. His name is Liam Grayson, and he is right here with us.” immediately after she said that, she turned around and motioned toward Liam.As soon as she arrived at where Liam was standing, she took his hand into

Justin arrived home a few minutes after leaving Isabella's house. Immediately he arrived home, he showered, climbed into bed, and slept off.Later that day in the evening, after Justin had had enough sleep, he woke up and took another shower.After sleeping, one was supposed to wake up with a happy face, but the opposite happened to Justin. It was as if all the circumstances surrounding him were the ones that woke him up from sleep. There was no peace within him.After taking his shower, he sat on the bed, wondering how he was going to handle the company's challenges. How to convince Diana's Mom that he genuinely loves Diana. How to convince his family that Mr. Rolland is their rival and not a friend. Lastly, how to solve the issue of Isabella's pregnancy. He was grateful that his father spoke to the public about his uncle's death, and they were somehow convinced that he wasn't responsible for his uncle's death or else, he would have been thinking about that too. However, Justin felt

“How was it possible that five of your colleagues were shot dead the previous night during the operation?” Mr. Rolland raged as he grimaced at his boys.“I have no clue how it happened that way, boss. We have never suffered this loss in any operation before. However, my instinct is telling me that this was a planned case to get us,” Walker explained as he bowed to Mr. Rolland.“What do you mean? The men you exchanged gunshots with were in uniform? I mean, do they appear like the police or any other armed forces?” Mr. Rolland inquired skeptically. “Yes, boss. They were in uniform and the way they handled their weapons was more professional to assume that they were people in the same category as us. I think Diana needs to answer a few questions. Again, I'm suspecting the new young man that was brought here yesterday.” Walker explained.“Where are they?” Mr. Rolland inquired as he scanned the room to find out if Diana and Justin were in the room.“Hmm… Diana is on her way. But I have no

“Hey, this is not the time for you to listen to what they're saying. As of now, you can't do that until you undergo the training I'm about to put you through,” the young man who was assigned to educate Justin about everything he needs to know called for Justin's attention.Justin, who stood at a corner, nodded and then followed him.“Who, Justin, or Mr. Hemsworth you guys are talking about?” Justin asked the young man, pretending as though he had no clue who the person was.The young man proceeded and explained everything to Justin. The more questions Justin asks, the more explanations he gets. That was when he found out that his uncle who was murdered long ago was murdered by these men and every other misfortune that he had encountered was caused by them.In the end, Justin was told everything he needed to know before he started working with them, and he agreed to everything.Everything worked out smoother than he thought.It was getting dark because it was already evening.

“Of course, you can. What's it?” Mr. Rolland inquired as everyone anticipated what he was going to say. “Pardon my manners, but I was just wondering about something,” Justin scratched his scalp nervously with one of his hands tucked behind him. “ You're already a wealthy man. So, I see no reason why you should be competing with others when you already have money. Is this what they mean? Human beings can never be satisfied with money?”Everyone couldn't help, but stare at Justin, wondering what gave him such an audacity to throw such a question to their boss. “Well, I can't blame him because he is new here and has no clue what our boss is capable of doing.” one of the boys mumbled.Mr. Rolland chuckled, received a cigarette from one of his boys, and then puffed out smoke against Justin's face.“Young man, what's your name?” Mr. Rolland inquired.“My name?” Justin asked after him as though he didn't hear him. “ My name is Alfred… Alfred Johnson.”Mr. Rolland placed the burning cigarett

At Mr. Elias Rolland's house, he could be seen in the garden standing with his hands tightened into a fist as he glared at a lady standing before him.The lady stood in front of him, her head lowered to the ground. One could easily tell how scared the lady was because of her appearance.As Mr. Rolland was about to say a word to the lady before him, he paused after a few of his boys interrupted him.“Boss, we have got a new errand boy for you,” one of the boys spoke, and pushed Justin forward.Justin disguised himself as someone else. He wore tattered clothes, looking dirty, like someone homeless for a very long time.Although Justin was scared to look at Mr. Rolland he had been hearing about, he couldn't help but stare at the lady standing between him and Mr. Rolland in shock. He couldn't believe his eyes, but of course, he was expecting to see her there.“Enough of all these errand boys who keep failing me now and then. And why have you brought a madman into my house as an errand boy

Upon realizing that Liam has gotten a new girlfriend for himself, anger ruled over Diana, who grinned at the couple standing before her.Liam tried to smile before responding to the lady, but he couldn't. The situation he found himself in.“Darling, you're not saying anything. Who is she?” The lady let go of him and stood beside him, anticipating what he was going to say. “ Don't tell me that you are cheating on me with another woman, Liam.” “No, honey. I'm not cheating on you,” Liam looked into her eyes and explained. “ Babe, meet my bestie, Diana.”“Wait! Wait! Is she the lady you once told me about?” Liam's girlfriend asked excitedly, pointing at Diana.“Yeah, she is. She's the only female friend I have,” he explained.The lady quickly turned around and faced Diana. She extended her hand to Diana for a handshake, but Diana stood silent with her hands folded above her chest as she glared at the lady. Diana hissed and rolled her eyes before taking her gaze away from the lady in a di

Dawson became enraged. He tightened his hand into a fist and grimaced at Diana, who had buried her face in her palms, feeling embarrassed.Of course, she knew who got her pregnant. It was no one but her male bestie, Liam. He took advantage of her condition and slept with her, and now she's pregnant for him. Impossible!“Talk to me, Diana! Who is responsible for your pregnancy?”! Dawson yelled at her through gritted teeth.He took the case into his own hands, rather than letting Diana's parents deal with it in the best way they could.Diana trembles after Dawson's angry words rang through her ears. It was as if the ground should open and swallow her up because she wasn't ready to face the shame. “Speak, Diana!” Mr. Mike shouted at her, sending shivers down her spine.She flickered and quickly responded, letting tears flow freely down her cheeks to the hospital bed. “ Liam… Liam is responsible for the pregnancy.”Even though she was stuttering, she was able to tell who got her pregnant

It was a month since Justin and Diana broke up and since then, she avoided meeting any man, including Dawson, who was pressuring her to get married to him.When Dawson found out from Liam that Diana and Justin were no longer in a relationship, he was overwhelmed with joy. He counted it as the right time to get Diana to become his wife, or else he might not get her again. He knew so well that he would be at a loss if another man won Diana's heart. So, he was eager to make her his wife before that happened. However, he told Diana's parents that they shouldn't refund the money he gave to Diana's mom. He was convinced that doing so would make Diana love, yet things didn't work out as he wanted.Although he was too occupied with political issues, he still creates time to visit Diana, so she won't think as if he doesn't care about her. Even at that, he wasn't getting her attention that much.Now, it was another beautiful day and Diana woke wi

They were welcomed by the man's family.“You both are welcome to my house,” the man exchanged pleasantries with them as he ushered them into the house.“Thank you for accepting us into your house, sir.” Justin responded as they exchanged handshakes.“ permit me to ask you something, sir.”“Okay, proceed and ask your question, but before you do that, you both should please have your seats,” he responded as he let go of Justin's hand and sat on a different couch, facing them.Isabella assisted Justin to sit down, which triggered the man sitting before wanting to ask what happened. However, before he could open his mouth to speak, Justin had already started speaking.“What’s your name, sir?” Justin inquired, looking at the man and anticipating his response.The man was silent for a minute, as though he would rather not respond to the question. At last, he sighed and responded,“ Well, my name is Emmett Bens

Isabella and Justin arrived home after taking a taxi from the hospital. “Be careful,” said Isabella as she assisted Justin in climbing out of the car. After he was out of the car, she paid the taxi driver. She lifted Justin's right hand, placed it on her neck, and rounded his waist with her left hand to assist him walk into the house.“Take a rest, so I can quickly prepare you something for you to eat,” Isabella announced as she assisted Justin to sit on the cushion.“Thanks for your care, Isabella.” Justin appreciated it as he rested his back against the cushion.“ You are indeed a changed lady.”“Of course, I am. I was so carried away by luxury that I forgot what you have been through for me. But now, I have realized my mistake and I promise never to leave you, no matter what happens. I love you, Justin,” she confessed her love for him.Instead of Justin confessing back, he played mute as he gazed at her, pondering a few things.“Hello, do you hear what I said?” Isabella waved her h
