“That’s payback for what you did to me earlier.” He snapped at her and she fell to the floor.The slap seemed to have made the entire world turn upside down as it felt like she was shocked by lightning. Blood filled her mouth immediately, and his five fingers were printed nicely on her face.“You slapped my mother?” Stephen ran towards him raging as he folded his sleeve ready to punch Harrison down.Seeing him coming, Harrison smiled, even as his expression remained cold. Stephen has saved him from the stress of coming after him since willingly he came forward by himself.“How dare you!” Stephen sent a punch, but Harrison held it with one palm.“You were the one who threw my wife out, right?” Harrison asked, his lips curled into a deadly smirk.“Let my hand go! When did you become so strong?” Stephen fidgeted as he couldn’t get away from Harrison’s grip. The latter was squeezing his fist so tightly that if it took long, Stephen felt he might break into tears.“Answer! Were you the one
Edward was fast as he signed the contract document given to him without even checking every detail contained in it. To him, it wasn’t needed as the family had accepted him wholeheartedly when they knew he was someone. Also, since he was someone of high importance, they wouldn’t even dare to trick him.“Good, it’s all done now.” He smiled as he returned both the papers and pen to Grandmother.“That’s great. Now what’s left is to start the project.” Grandmother replied, putting on a business mood.“That will be great. It will be nice to put Linda in charge. As you know, she’s a woman of great qualities and importance. I am sure she will do very well. Edward recommended.He didn’t fail to steal a glance at her and saw how she was staring at him delightfully. There were stars in her eyes and it made him more than thrilled. With that, he was sure she would cling to him forever.“That’s a good suggestion. I had it in mind even before you spoke. After all, it was because of her that we got y
“What do you mean by he is into drugs?” Rachel asked, frowning.“Think about it, Mom, which other way could Harrison use to become this powerful? It hasn't been long since he left here, yet he looks like someone who can take on a whole army.” Stephen explained.“Drugs? So that’s fake?” Rachel inquired.“I am sure of it. Since he has been getting a few bucks as salary, I think he must be into pills now.”“That’s so foolish of him. Anyway, I have to get back at him for what he did.”“Exactly. If I take those pills too, I could take him on.”As soon as he said those words, Rachel gave him a long stare. Though she might be angry he didn’t stand up for her earlier on, she couldn’t exempt the fact that he was her son.Taking pills would incur severe damage and could make one go crazy.“No. Don’t you dare! You are too precious for such pills.” Rachel scolded.Stephen's heart melted right away. What he expected was a punishment given by how furious she was. If not for how well he was able to
Wosh! Wosh!Harrison was still having a dream where he was a hero saving a little boy from the street when a cold substance that was freezing was thrown at his body.Waaaaa!He jerked out of sleep only to find himself drenched with water and so many men were surrounding him.“Little prick, how can you be looking like that when you are passed out? Feels you were hunting me.” Larry said with disgust.At first, Harrison’s vision wasn’t clear yet, but after recalling whose voice it was, he jerked up and his entire system responded. His vision became clear, and he was able to see properly.“Larry?” He exclaimed, looking shocked. It felt like he woke up from a dream into a nightmare. These were the same people who went into hiding a long time ago and with all the resources Sterling Corporation has, to find them was impossible but now here they were.“Shock to see us? You asshole!” Larry snapped and sent a kick at Harrison's face. The impact was so heavy that it broke Harrison's nose and blo
“Any last words?” Larry smiled while caressing the trigger button, enjoying every moment.“But you know I can give you double of what she did? I am richer, don't you want to earn bigger?” Harrison smiled. However, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.His mother-in-law was working with these people, and she had disclosed his information to them to be used, that would be the only way they could have figured he was boarding a taxi.After banishing him, she still went too far just to get rid of him. She hated him for being broke, but he never thought she could sell him out.“Pay double?” Raymond's lips curled as he came forward. “You don't get it, do you? You snatched everything from us, and you think we will believe any word you say? To us, your blood is better than money.” He added.“But you collected money before coming to get me.” Harrison raised a brow at him.“And so? Where do you think we got the money to buy all these cars and pay these men? And don't think it was recently. Th
“Meet you at Star City Hotel? I must ask my husband before coming.” Caroline replied, and immediately Rachel's heart thumped faster. She quickly composed herself and spoke.“What nonsense are you saying? Do you need your husband's permission before seeing your mother? Is that how you have disregarded me?” Rachel snapped.“That's not it. He has to know about my whereabouts. I can't just go without letting him know.” Caroline tried to explain but it didn't look like it was taking effect.“What nonsense. I have called you to apologize and make things right, and you still don't want to come over?” Rachel snarled.“I even booked an appointment for you with the CEO of a multinational corporation. Are you telling me it's a waste of effort?” Rachel sparked.Hearing that, Caroline became fired up. She has been jobless for a while now and couldn't support her family. If she could get her hands on that job, then they could as well upgrade their lives. However, she also thought about keeping it
Whitman drove into Star City hotel parking lot. He had questions but decided to keep it to himself. Earlier, he heard the conversation Caroline was having, and it appeared she was going to meet her stepmother.But why not meet her at home? Why bring her to a hotel instead? Whitman was puzzled. He also knew her mother was someone shady but didn't say anything, so it wouldn't appear like he was aiming to tarnish her image.“Thank you. I will go in now.” Caroline thanked him before hopping down. Then she walked into the hotel. As the name implies, it was a place of high standard, and booking a reservation here couldn't be done by just anyone but rich people.Caroline stared in awe but was also stunned that her mom would bring her here for a meeting.“Please, I am looking for Rachel Samson. She booked a reservation here.” Caroline said to the receptionist.“Right. Miss Rachel asked me to personally welcome you. You can go to the top floor, room 5.” the receptionist smiled.Hearing such, C
Caroline couldn't get her head over what just happened. It was too good to be real. Her family had sold her out to a horror-looking man. Was this supposed to be a torture or wickedness?She quickly wanted to run towards the door, but Micheal was all over her. His size gave him the advantage as he loomed over her with a smirk on his face.“All you have to do is to open your legs nice and slow, then it will be over for today,” Micheal said with pleasure written all over his face. After thoroughly checking her body, he licked his lips as though it were a candy that was given to me.“Let me go! I have a husband. You won't like what he will do to you!” Caroline threatened, but he smiled instead. It seems the news hadn't broken to her yet that her husband was dead, so he decided to tell her himself.“Harrison or who are you talking about?” He asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“You know him? Then you must know he is dangerous.” Caroline stood her ground, trying to instill fear in h
