Confused but clear about the command, Oliver nodded and went to work immediately. As Nichola trained his eyes on Oliver, a call came in through his phone.Mia. His face darkened dangerouslyThe phone continued to rang but Nichola failed to answer it. After a while, he stood up from where he was sitting, not bothering with the phone anymore. He strolled to the large window in his office and gently placed his hand on it, looking down at the very bustling city below him. He recalled in the note he read earlier about getting a message from an unknown someone. The message was about him hanging out with Mia. But how did that happened? Is there any other person after him?The frown on his face deepened and his jaws clenched, tensed on what Liliana might probably decide on. He knew he wouldn't be able to take any negative result from her. " Oliver!" Oliver instantly appeared at the presidential office and bowed respectfully. " Young master, you called for me?" Nichola turned
But the most surprising part for her was that, Nichola didn't tell her anything, knowing she was also at that restaurant too.Why did he keep it from her? Is he really not innocent as she has thought? Her mind keep buzzing of different thoughts, not knowing which one to take or discard.....Andrea was now fully focused on Liliana, anticipating her to say something like giving up on her husband, so she could finally have her way. Her heart raced, and she shifted even more beside Liliana, wanting to hold her.....It was at this process, Leonard knocked curtly but once, which startled everyone. They all turned to the door. Leonard walked in casually, full of grace, with his hands stuffed in his pocket. " Did I disturb your conversation?" His eyes trained to the people present in the living room, however, he failed to smile at anyone, knowing the current situation and the real cause of it. Sandra didn't believe who she was seeing and immediately stood up, astonished as she wid
Just as he stepped out of the private elevator, he unexpectedly bumped into someone he had least and never expected to see again........ Thup! Nichola lifted his head and scowled immediately! "' What are you doing here?" He coldly threw his question to the person with a hardened face. "Nichola", she shrieked in an excited voice, pretending to be astonished. "What a surprise to see you here?" Nichola only lowered his eye coldly, seeing through her acts instantly. "I've missed you, Nichola", she called softly from behind him. He stared at Oliver who quickly averted his gaze, and he turned to go get his car ready. "Lisa, I suppose you did not miss your way and mistakenly meet me here at my company", he said blankly, staring at her as her lips lifted a bit in a small smile. "Okay. Fine then. Nichola it's been so long", she purred, her revealing dress riding up higher and he ruined his brow in frustration. "Not long enough", he deadpanned and began to head out with large stride
An unknown lady, having her hands on the trigger of the gun which had killed the man, strode out towards them. She gave Nichola a nod and he stared at her, wondering who she was and what she was doing there."Watch out", she called and Nichola strike the attacking man with a heavy blow, causing him to fly feet away from him and silence permeated the air.Nichola straightened himself, stone faced and he glanced at all the men that were down.The strange lady ambled over to him and kept her gun behind her, crossing her arms against her chest. " I supposed you are alright, and I stopped that asshole before he could injure you." She started, staring casually at Nichola. Nichola spared her a glance, but there was no expression on his face. " Why are you here?" " Why am I here?" The lady jerked her head backward and repeated, pointing to herself before she tossed her hair to one side and looked away from Nichola. " A simple thank you is enough if you don't know what to say rathe
The strange lady walked in calmly. When she got in, she bowed respectfully instantly and greeted. " Mrs. Andrea, I am sorry to be late. He was proving stubborn, but I can sense he is swayed." She said and reported. " But soon, I will conquer him....." " You must!" A familiar voice resounded again." That's what I am paying you for, and you have to execute it properly. If you do so well, consider everything fine for you, but if you don't, you have to face the consequences, alone! And you know what that implies?"There was no expression on the lady's face even after hearing this. She nodded curtly with no objection. " We have a better understanding now." The woman smiled and suddenly walked forward to pat the strange lady on her shoulder, automatically revealing her self. " Catherine, I know you know what you are doing, and I trust you on this. Your father's expenses will be taken of the more, and you can ask me for anything. But remember to stay true to the main mission.
She exclaimed impatiently and urged Scar." Just open the door, and I will tell you everything."'Scar hesitated for a second but took in a deep breath and went forward. ..Few seconds later.The door was opened, and Lisa rushed in, shutting it back.She exhaled loudly and slumped on the wooden chair in front of her." That was so close!" She exclaimed, shaking her head and looking up at Scar, who was frowning at her. " You don't have to worry, I made sure no one was trailing me. I came here all by myself."She said with a large amount of certainty and assured him.Scar grumbled and looked away from her impolitely." Why are you back early? Where are my men?"He demanded as he walked away to the other side.&nbs
She held her father's hand and pressed it softly, watching him quietly. After a while, she calmed herself and went out of the ward. The moment she got out, her eyes flashed a sinister look, and she took out her phone, opening the video she had recorded. Then, she uploaded it to the internet....After it was uploaded, Catherine smirked and lowered her eyes. She was sure the news would gain so much popularity soon, even than the others. Then, she also took a copy of the news and video and sent it as a private message to Liliana herself. The moment she did this, she walked away from the history with an indifferent expression. **** Unknown basement. Some of Nichola's men were busy dragging scar's men that were taken earlier after the shoot out. Fortunately, they were able to revive one of Scar's men. Nichola was called and he instantly went to the underground basement. When he got there, he met his men surrounding the strange man.There was no expression on h
He called his men back and proceeded to address them. It was at this time, something flashed in the strange man's mind. A look of sinister roamed in his eyes, clenching his jaws and he subtly took out a small pin behind him.......Before he could even think of injuring anyone with the pin that was with him, Nichola turned to him unexpectedly and raised his leg!Gbam!He smacked the strange man's head down to the ground with little efforts!Instantly, blood with some matters sprouted out, staining the ground and decorating the atmosphere with a strong metallic smell! The strange man went silent as a graveyard after groaning and jerking loudly! Nichola sneered at this and dusted the sleeves of his shirt. With an apathetic look, he looked at his men and threw out his order in a cold domineering tone! " Go and raid out Scar wherever he is! In less than 24 hours, I want to see him right front of me, alive!" The men immediately straightened up and nodded obediently, not daring t
She wanted to burst into laughter, but she saw that she would only be mocking herself by doing that as the whole situation seemed to be laughing at her now. "Do you mean he is the young master of the Redgraves?" she asked to be sure, and Liliana nodded with a mocking smile. She immediately connected all dots and saw that she should be the one to leave and be punished by Nichola. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed and put her hands over her head. She fell to her knees in remorse when she realized that her poor son-in-law, whom she hated so much, was the perfect husband for her daughter. She wished she had known better and treated him better. "Yes, mum. I hope you are glad now," Liliana said sarcastically, and her mother pleaded for forgiveness from Nichola for her evil deeds to him. "I am so sorry, young master. I did not know. I regret all my actions. I will change, Nichola," she pleaded in tears, but Nichola and Liliana knew bet
Lisa thought she was dreaming as she had been in there for quite a while when she saw Mark. She kept staring at him quizzically with a slight frown on her face when he tapped her harshly, irritated by how she just sat there and stared when they had limited time. He did not want to risk being caught by the heft securities of the corporation. She still kept staring at him till he slapped her to being her back till consciousness and lifted her. "Mark, you came," she muttered weakly with a smile, thankful that she was out of that terrible dungeon. He rushed outside with her in his arm, dodging into pillars at intervals when he caught sight of some security personnel walking in his direction or around. He looked towards the gate and saw that it was empty for a moment and there was no one standing there to hinder him from escaping. He broke into a sprint to the gate, but just as he was about a step out of the gate, a security stood in his way. He frowned and tried to run past him,
Oliver, in the presence of all who were present in the room, took out a compact disk containing a footage, one which would expose every secret and inserted They all watched him with curious eyes and perplexity as he did all he did carefully.The tape began rolling, and Dane's father appeared on the huge monitor screen.*The tape was in a black and white format, signifying that it was a tape that went way back.He wore a malicious expression on his face as he discussed it with another man. He was talking with Collins in hushed tones, which was still audible to all in the room.They were discussing the wealth of the Redgraves."There is so much wealth in the Redgrave lineage. our generation can not suffer when can also tap I to the wealth of the Redgrave"Dane's father's eyes lit with interest and mischief."You are so smart. I had been thinking of that, too. We have to come up with a plan to take over their wealth as soon ad possible, lest they hand it over to someone else in their l
Anna who was at the entrance was already waiting for this time and decided to follow Nichola as he passed by her without even sparing her a glance. However, before she could take a step, a figure blocked her suddenly. " What are you doing ?! Who are you?! Get away from my sight!" Anna yelled arrogantly and hissed at Catherine, who was standing in front of her with her hands clasped together. " Why do you want to follow him? You know the truth so just back out." Catherine told her and snorted with disdain. Anna was infuriated with Catherine's words and glared fiercely at Catherine! " Shut up! You better shut up right now! Look, I don't know who you are, but you can't tell me anything! The fucking nerve of you to stop me and......" Pah! Anna was interrupted instantly as a crisp sound resounded in her ears, her ears buzzing! Five fingerprints immediately appeared on her cheeks! She stared at Catherine incredulously, her jaws slacking...Catherine withdrew her hand and bl
"Stay with me please, Liliana," he pleaded, his hands on her cheeks and tears rolled down her cheeks.She struggled to stay away, but she could not help the feeling of unconsciousness that loomed around her. " Ni-Nichola, you finally .... came..." she choked out and gave in to the welcoming darkness, while Nichola held her body that was already covered in blood. Staring her like this, Nichola didn't know when his eyes went red, bloody, crimson, his hands trembled as his heart squeezed together.....rage and resentment thumped in his heart like a drum beat and he marinated in ire! Liliana was his only weakness and they managed to use his weakness against him! They must face his deadly side whether alive or not breathing! Steven saw what just happened. His eyes widened out of disbelief. Immediately, he sucked his teeth and turned to Scar. " Why did you do that?! You are going to implicate us?! Are you that crazy?! That was not part of the plan!" He shouted annoyingly at Scar
Mia gasped and heaved in intense pain as she was held by Leonardo's men.She felt her impending doom looming over her, and she burst into tears from both the physical pain and the pain that was to come."I am very sorry. I am sorry I hurt and disappointed you. Please let me go. I swear I would never do it again," she pleaded tearfully, groaning in pain as she spoke.He turned to look at her, and the coldness with which he looked at her sent shivers down her spine, and she knew she was really in for it."Please," she begged, but he remained silent as they drove away."I promise I do not have anything to do with Liliana's disappearance. Truly, I sent men after her to hurt her, but luckily, she was rescued. Please release me, Leaonardo," she cried even more loudly, trying to buy some luck and gain sympathy from him.He kissed his teeth with his lips and shot a glare in her direction, silencing her."Save your explanations. You will explain when we get to our destination, "he sa
Andrea knew there was no escape this time. She had been caught, and all her plans had gone down the drains. All her lies stared at her in the face. The audio Dane had made had made had exposed every lie without any chance for her to deny it.She grew red in shame and refused to meet Sandra's eyes. She could not even bear to see the look of disappointment on her best friend's face."I can not believe you, Andrea," Sandra screamed at the top of her voice at her, full of anger and disappointment. "How could you?"Andrea shifted uncomfortably, suddenly finding the marble tiles to be the most interesting thing in the world."You deceived me into thinking that your son was royalty. I can't even believe I fell for that lie. You yourself have no royal blood in you. You wanted my precious daughter to get married to that incomplete, animalistic son of yours, eh?"Sandra could not hold back her tears as she imagined what would have happened if they had gotten married."Thay beast that dies
She looked quite okay to him and he wondered what help she could have called him there for.She smiled charmingly and poured an expensive wine into two wine glasses."We will get to that but first, have a drink", she said, sauntering over to him to hand him a glass of sparkling wine.Nichola looked down at the drink in Anna's hand coldly and refused it instantly. " There is no need. If you don't have anything to say. I will take my leave." He checked the time on his wristwatch and drew his brows together into a frown. Anna's face changed immediately, her lips twisting. " Why are you in a hurry? You just got here. Do you hate me that much you can't stand to see me or be in the same room with me? Don't forget there is still a marriage contract of me to you so I still have the right to call you." Nichola slowly lifted his head and gave her a dirty look. " Did you forgot to mention you also broke the contract cause you said you can't marry someone worthless and useless like me
Oliver and his men talked about getting a submarine. They had reached out to a number of people who could make one available soonest.Oliver came to tell Nichola that they had gotten one already, and Nichola gave a curt nod in approval.As he turned to leave, his phone suddenly rang. It was Anna calling.He pressed his lips together in a thin line and answered the call."Nichola," she called from the phone with a slight slur in her soft voice, almost trying to sound pitable. "Please come over to my place as soon as you can,"Nichola scrunched his brows, pinching the bridge of his nose. As if she could see his face, she quickly added. "I need your assistance with something urgently,"He sighed. He was not in the mood to go back and forth with Anna, so he decided to just go there to see what was up with her and get it done with already."Are you there, Nichola?", she asked"Where are you?""I'm at a hotel. please come quickly", she purred slightly and Nichola grew skeptical for a secon
