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,”

Now, Liam invited Diana to his house to deliberate about the case at hand. They were both ready to settle with the partner their hearts linger for.In the living room, Liam and Diana could be seen sitting opposite each other with tumblers filled with juice in front of them on the table.“Diana,” Liam began. “ You have known each other for a long time now. And you know, occasionally, I see you as my younger sister because you're always there for me whenever I need you. I can't count how many times you have helped me, but I know you have always been there for me.“I have always wanted us to live in peace even after we both get married to different people, since we're just friends. However, as fate has it, something intriguing is happening presently that I'm finding it challenging to keep quiet.”“Please just stop faffing around and go straight to the point.” Diana cut into his words and rolled her eyes.“All right,” Liam crossed his legs and said. “ I'm convinced that you witnessed how I

While Diana was heading home after leaving Liam's house, she decided to stop in a boutique for shopping. As fate has it, Dawson also went there to meet his cousin's sister because she was the CEO of the enormous boutique where Diana went shopping.Immediately Dawson approached the boutique, he saw his crush, Diana, coming out of his cousin's boutique, looking a bit distracted. “Stop!” Dawson commanded his chauffeur, who quickly applied the brake as they were already heading to a parking lot.Immediately the driver stopped, and all the other cars that were following and leading their car also stopped. Within minutes, his escorts found themselves standing closer to the door, waiting for Dawson to come down from the car after opening the door for him.Although everyone around noticed Dawson's arrival, including Diana, she pretended as if she wasn't aware of it.She kept her head low and continued to walk to her car, hoping that Dawson wouldn't see her. Just as Dawson stepped out of th

“Why is it looking as if they're forcing you to marry her? Have you forgotten everything you both shared?” Mrs. Lorelei cried out with tear-filled eyes.As his father commanded, Justin visited Isabella and her Mom to invite them to his father's house.“Of course, I'm being forced to go out of my comfort zone. Why on earth should a man be forced to marry a woman who betrayed and broke up with him? I wasn't the one who ended the relationship. She did,” Justin snapped.“Justin, you know what, do what seems best for you since you can't forgive me for what I did to you. I have realized my mistake and I have already forgiven myself. So, it's left for you to do what you want. Besides, you are fully aware that I have gotten a new boyfriend who is ready to take care of me and my unborn baby. I see no reason why I should beg you for mercy, so you can accept me back as your girlfriend.” Isabella smirked.“Shut up, Isabella!” Mrs. Lorelei smacked her head as she grinned at her daughter. “ Are you

“Dad,” Justin called out to his father. “Meet Isabella and her Mom.”Mrs. Lorelei smiled at Mr. Hemsworth who was about to welcome them, yet she was unsettled. She was lost as to why Mr. Hemsworth was looking at her like that.“Lorelei,” Mr. Hemsworth called out after approaching Mrs. Lorelei, who was about to greet him.Both Isabella and her Mom stood dumbfounded as they gazed at the man standing in front of them.Of course, Isabella knew that her Mom had never met her mom before. So, it was surprising that he knew her name.On the contrary, Isabella and her Mom assumed that Justin might have told his father her name. However, they were taken aback after finding out that Justin was also astonished by that, leaving them in awe at how Mr. Hemsworth knew Mrs. Lorelei's name.“Nice to see you again after countless years,” Mr. Hemsworth announced as he extended his hand and invited Mrs. Lorelei for a handshake.Mrs. Lorelei hesitated before she finally took his hand.“I-I… forgive me, but

“If my memory serves me correctly, Dad, you asked me to bring them over so you could talk about Isabella and me. What is the deal with all these?” Justin expressed his displeasure with the situation.“Oh, I am sorry about that. Please take your seats,” Mr. Hemsworth said, and the guests all nodded.They all sat down. As soon as they sat, a butler appeared with two tumblers filled with juice and offered them to the two guests. They gratefully accepted it and began to sip, anticipating what Mr. Hemsworth would say next.“Before I proceed, I believe my son has told you why you are here,” Mr. Hemsworth said. “Yes, sir, he did.” Mrs. Lorelei responded.“Fantastic,” Mr. Hemsworth said. "I am fully aware of what happened between your daughter and my son, Lorelei. This was supposed to be a simple matter, but my son is stubborn. Nonetheless, he informed me that your daughter has a complaint to file as well. So I invited her to tell me what was wrong.”“But given that we were close friends in o

Isabella sprang to her feet and ran toward Justin just as he turned to leave. Her eyes were full of tears as she stood in front of Justin."Please forgive me, Justin. I had no idea it would lead to this. Don't leave your father's house because of me,” Isabella sympathized with Justin.“Get your filthy hands off my brother, you family destroyer,” Ariana finally said after being silent for a long time as if she were not in the room.She pushed Isabella away from Justin and then stood in front of him, unsure what to say.Even before she said anything, tears streamed down her cheeks to the ground, causing Justin to shift his gaze away from her and in another direction.She sniffed, then turned around to face her father, who was still sitting in his seat, his face contorted with rage.Ariana covered the space between her and her father. She silently stood before her father and spoke.“Is this how you want it to end? What would people say if they found out you chased your son out of the hous

“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
