“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

In the Transcorp Group of Conglomerate's headquarters conference room, Justin could be seen standing in front of other CEOs, anticipating what to say. Justin appeared unsettled and depressed, and everyone could see it written all over his face.The conference room was silent for a while as everyone was eager for Justin to speak. They weren't there just to elaborate on the development of their businesses, but to also iron out the previous issue. The issue of the listening device that was installed in the restroom.That was their biggest threat to them and if they don't deal with it, it will greatly affect their businesses. After waiting for what seemed like ages, Charlotte, the company's secretary, stood up and said to the business partners.“We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused to you. As you all can see, the CEO’s son is currently going through hard times, and…” Before Charlotte could complete her statement, Justin had cut her off.“Enough, Charlotte!” Justin sp

With haste, Charlotte took another elevator and followed Justin to the floor.Immediately, the elevator stopped and Charlotte stepped out of it, she spotted Justin and his guards exiting the quarters.She ran up to him and said, “What should I do now that you're leaving, sir? Because I can't replace you and your sister isn't available to continue from where you stopped. Of course, you know the issues we have at hand, and only you can tackle this. Everyone in there is eager to say something about this company, especially what's currently happening.“Not only that, you promised them that they would be given the room to say and ask whatever they needed to know about this company, sir. Sir, I have no clue about what transpired between you and your father, but I'm convinced that you can forgive each other and…”“Shut up, Charlotte!” Justin smacked as he grimaced at the lady standing a few inches away from him.Immediately, his hoarse voice echoed, and Charlotte trembled, causing her to quic

He proceeded and said, “They agreed that their children will get married when they come of age. All this transpired because of their friendship. They decided for us without seeking our decision.“Furthermore, I couldn't back out. Because the lady, on the contrary, was a gold digger who wanted to marry me because of my money,” he explained, looking disturbed as he recalled everything that happened in the past that resulted in where he was currently.“Wait, wait! What are you talking about? Did you mean you're a wealthy man? If yes, then why is driving your job? Shouldn't you have been in your office or even resting at home by now?” Diana found herself inquiring.“I was a wealthy businessman before, but not now, my dear,” the man let out a sad expression.“Why?”“Because the woman I married squandered everything behind my back. It was too late before I realized that she was the cause of my downfall. She's just a parasite in my life. “Here I am driving around the city to provide for my f

Diana took Justin's hand and led him into the house as soon as the cab driver was no longer visible. When Justin walked into the lounge, he noticed Mrs. Elisa sitting on the couch, her gaze fixed on the television as she listened to the news."Hey, Mom," Diana said to her mother as she sat beside her, a smile curving her lips."What is it, Diana…?" Mrs. Elisa froze as soon as she saw the tall, handsome man standing in front of her, hands tucked behind him and an innocent expression on his face."Good day, ma'am," Justin said, slightly bowing to Mrs. Elisa, who seemed surprised by his presence.“G-good day, Mr. Justin. I… hmm…" Mrs. Elisa became nervous, as though she were suspecting something. "Please excuse my manners. I am surprised to see you here because my daughter did not let me know you were coming, so the cook can prepare something delicious for you."Even though she forced herself to speak, Justin could tell something was wrong, and he wanted to know what it was."You do not

Her husband was standing just inches away from her, his hands tucked behind him, when she suddenly raised her head and looked at him.In an attempt to speak, Mrs. Elisa swallowed hard. She struggled mightily to speak to her husband at that moment and started to tremblingly play with her fingers."Yes? Now go ahead and speak. What is it, my dear? I'm here to protect you from whatever is coming, if it's something harmful,” Mr. Mike let out as he cupped his wife's jaw into his palms.Despite her attempts to avoid eye contact with her husband, he insisted on them looking into each other's eyes. Mr. Mike was convinced that by maintaining eye contact, he would be able to determine whether what his wife said was a lie or the truth.She succeeded in answering his question. “ Justin is here. So Diana asked me to fetch you because your presence is required." Mr. Mike sensed the truth in her words, but he was convinced she was hiding something, and he was eager to learn what it was."No," Mr. M

Justin stood up and grimaced at Dawson, who was standing at the entrance, as if he were waiting for permission to enter the house.Mrs. Elisa quickly lowered her gaze to the ground, feeling uneasy about what was about to happen.Dawson giggled and then took out his hands from his pocket. He clapped teasingly as he walked up to them.Justin clenched his fist as he watched Dawson approach. He became enraged upon seeing Dawson.Dawson stood before Diana with a devilish expression on his face, maintaining eye contact.“What are you doing in my home?” Diana screamed in rage. She was not expecting him.Dawson decided to pay her a visit on the same day Justin was at her house, which surprised her. Dawson had not seen her in a few weeks, so it was surprising that he decided to pay her a visit while Justin was present."Are you certain it is your house? Because your husband's house is yours, not your parents'. Anyway, I'm here to take you home. A place you will love to live forever, my queen,”

“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
