“From what I have seen so far since you came into this house, you have been experiencing one challenge or the other. However, I do not doubt that one of these issues might affect me. I'm pleading with you, Justin, to please marry Isabella. There's nothing wrong in forgiving her and accepting her back, you know.” As soon as Mr. Hemsworth said that, Justin quivered. Although that's what he was expecting, it still came as a shock to him.Justin swallowed hard and nodded his head. “All right,” Justin said. “ What if I tell you that she no longer loves me? I mean, she had moved on with her new lover.”“That can never be possible, Justin,” Mr. Hemsworth retorted as he gazed at his son, convincing himself that Justin was lying.“Huh? Why should I lie to you, Father? I visited her today, and she was with her new lover, romancing themselves. This isn't something that I was told by someone, I witnessed it myself, Father,” Justin complained.Mr. Hemsworth chuckled, thinking that Justin was only

Justin swallowed hard and then nodded his head before he began to speak.“Father, I'm finding it tough to know why I don't want to marry Isabella. Only I know what I went through because of her and her poor mom, yet she dared to cheat me and even dumped me. If you were me, what would you do, father?” Justin requested.“I will forgive her and that's simple. You should learn to forgive people, Justin, because vengeance won't take you anywhere in life. What goes around comes around and no one is above mistakes. I'm afraid that you will neglect Isabella and the same thing will happen to Ariana. Think about it, Justin. Life is full of karma, you know.” Mr. Hemsworth advised him.Upon realizing that his father wasn't ready to give up on asking him to accept the unborn child, Justin nodded.“All right, let's assume I have forgiven her, but I would rather not marry her and only need the child. What should I do if she said I can't get the child without marrying her?” Justin inquired.“I think s

“Are you surprised to see me here?” Diana inquired as she sheepishly smiled at Justin, who stood with his hands folded above his chest.“Um… well, yes. I was about to ask if your Mom knew that you were coming here. I believe she wouldn't have allowed you if she knew.” Justin responded with a calm voice.“Well,” Diana sighed and nervously clapped her hands. “ My mom is no longer supporting anyone.”“I’m lost here. What do you mean?” Justin couldn't comprehend what Diana was saying.“I mean, my mom no longer cares about who I date and who I ignore.” she happily explained.“How is that possible? If I could remember, she said she wanted you to date Dawson and not me. What happened that she suddenly changed her mind? Did your father talk to her ?” Justin threw a few questions at Diana, curiously waiting for her to respond.“Not at all. My dad didn't talk to her. However, Dawson came to our house today to see me…”“Huh?” Justin quickly mouthed as though it was something that couldn't be poss

Immediately they stepped into the house, their gaze fell on Ariana, who was lying on one of the couches with her face facing the ceiling as she operated her phone.“Hey, Ariana,” Diana called out as she let go of Justin's hand and ran to her friend. Ariana quickly sat up on the couch and turned her gaze to the entrance, where Justin and his girlfriend were coming in.Upon realizing who called her name, happiness took over her. She hastily stood up and widened her arms to welcome her dear friend.“Hey, Diana,” Ariana muttered as they embraced each other. “How have you been doing, Diana?” Ariana quickly asked after letting go of Diana.“I have been doing fine, my dear,” Diana responded with a smile curving her lips as she stood in front of Ariana.“Are you certain that you're fine? Because I have tried your line, but it hasn't been connecting, making me feel unsettled. I was planning to visit you tomorrow if I call you this evening, and you don't pick up again,” Ariana explained.“Um…

“Huh?” Justin mouthed, astonished.“Yes. If that's what will make him change his mind, then I will meet him myself.” She seriously announced without any trace of a joke on her face.Immediately after she said that, she let go of Justin's hands, attempting to leave for Mr. Hemsworth's room.Upon seeing how serious Diana was, Justin quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back.“What do you think you're doing, Diana?” he asked with a sad expression as he glared at her. “I’m trying to fight for what I want, Justin. Do you have any issue with that?” Diana frowned at Justin and jerked her hand off his grasp.“ this is the time I will know whether you love me or not.”As soon as she said that, she motioned towards the door. “Shit!” Justin cursed through gritted teeth as he clenched his hand into a fist and went after Diana.Diana descended the staircase to the enormous living room to meet Ariana. Thankfully, as she arrived in the living room, Ariana was still relaxing in the living room.Ju

The dining table was set, Mr. Hemsworth's favorite foods were prepared, and the house was looking its best. Now all that was left was for Justin's father to arrive. Everything was done by the kitchen maids, but Ariana and Diana didn't fail to assist them.On the contrary, Justin assisted the men's servants in decorating the house based on the idea Ariana gave them. Ariana had stayed with her father for her whole life, so everything was done by what she said.“Now that we're done and everyone has taken his or her shower, I suggest we go to his room and invite him. What do you think?” Justin asked Ariana, his hands akimbo.“No, Justin. Let's wait for him here. That would be better than approaching him, you know.” Ariana responded with a slight smile.“Perfect. Let's go with that.” Justin thumbs up for Ariana. Ariana, Justin, and Diana sat in the living room, trying to remain calm as they patiently waited for the man of the house to arrive in the living room. It was as if Mr. Hemsworth

Just as Justin was about to make his announcement, Mr. Hemsworth interrupted."Thank you very much for this, everyone. You have done a good job. Until the day I die, I will never forget this. Many thanks to Diana who assisted in doing this,” Mr. Hemsworth appreciated them as he sipped a glass of juice.“My pleasure, sir,” Diana muttered shyly, her gaze fixed on the delicious food she was eating."I am glad you like it, Father. Actually, it was my big bro who came up with such an idea. I think he deserves an award.” Ariana made a lighthearted remark to her father.“Oh, that? That is not worth worrying about.” Mr. Hemsworth shifted his gaze away from the two ladies and toward Justin, who pretended not to hear their conversation. “Son,” Mr. Hemsworth said. “ I would like to thank you for everything you have done to make me happy today. Make any wish, and I will grant it.”When Justin heard that, a rush of joy filled his heart, leaving him astounded at how everything was going exactly as

“But, father, my happiness is also important. Why are you asking me to marry a woman who does not appreciate what I did for her and her mother? Isabella and I cannot marry. I would rather leave your house, as you suggested, than marry that betrayal.” As he stood up and frowned at his father, Justin expressed his frustration. Mr. Hemsworth rested his knuckles on the table and looked skeptically at Justin.Ariana became terrified when she realized how enraged her father had become. Mr. Hemsworth is a nice man, but when he is enraged, he can do the unthinkable. “Son, I'm just trying hard not to be mad at you over this. I am not compelling you to marry Isabella. All I ask is that you obtain the unborn child. What is the point of all this rage? Is the child, not yours, uh?” Mr. Hemsworth confronted his son.Justin clenched his fist and stared intently at his father, who was standing opposite him.“Remember, I told you that Isabella said she would not release the child unless I marry her,”

“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.

“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

Justin and Isabella arrived at the address that was sent to him by the taxi driver. 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
