Just as they stepped outside, some shadows instantly blocked their view." Don't say any word and just follow us." A tall burly man stood in front of them, with cold glaring eyes and leaned slightly closer to them, to display the gun hid in his waist. Instantly, Anna held her breath, her body stiffening. She didn't dare to move, not with what she just saw. Lily jerked her head backward, with an incredulous daze. " What is the meaning of this?! Who are you people?! You can't just come here, and tell us to follow you! That's insane!" It took some seconds for Liliana to reacted, and she pushed the burly man in front of her away, gritting her teeth. Immediately, the rest of the men loomed over her, threatening her with their chilly and heavy presence. The burly man that was pushed , growled and swiftly hit Liliana's cheek! Pah! " It seems they think we are here to play. Take them away now!" He ordered and wiped away the stains on his shirt. Anger ripped though Liliana
" Take me instead! She is innocent and not involve this. I am the daughter of Lord Rossi, so I can take this! Or, can't you do it? Are you all scared of my dad?!" A wicked curve bloomed on her thin cherry lips, and she smirked. Who would dare to touch the daughter of the biggest Mafia boss in the country? The men were frightened and immediately their expressions changed. Of course, who doesn't know the daughter of the biggest Mafia boss in the country? With this, they turned to their leader, who had pursed his lips the instant Lily appeared. " Miss Rossi, don't be silly! You can't threatened us with your status!" The leader hissed through gritted teeth and sneered. " Silly?" Liliana repeated and chuckled. " You call this silly? How about i stab myself to release my friend, and my death will instantly be on you. What will you call that? Extra silly?" She grinned, her foxy eyes sparkling of a whimsical and a sinister glow. The men gasped and lowered their eyes. This was a
Nichola threw a tender smile at her and winked playfully. " Just trust me. I will save you both and get you out of here, unharmed." He crossed his chest with his hand and promised sincerely. Liliana choked. She felt a lump in her throat and blinked her tiny tears away. " Nichola!" The men had already surrounded Nichola, giving him no chance. Immediately, one of the men appeared in front of Nichola and raised his fists, wanting to hit the Nichola, but the latter stepped back and raised his long leg instead, kicking him across the wall! The strange man fell down and rolled violently, before his head banged the hard wall harshly! Blood sprouted out instantly like a water from a broken pipe! Witnessing this, the other men were alerted and turned serious. They thought for Nichola to be able to kick a person like that, then he mustn't be an ordinary man. With this, they decided not to go easy on him. Liliana's face brightened, when she saw how Nichola kicked the man again
Artis Hardy stepped into the sleek, modern headquarters of Texter Technologies, only to find a significantly different atmosphere than his previous visit. The lingering tension and frosty reception had dissipated, replaced by a polite and cautious demeanor from the staff. It looked like the dramatic effects of the previous event were yet to be forgotten, and no one wanted to risk offending him again.As Artis made his way through the bustling corridors to reach the top floor where his office was located, employees nodded respectfully and exchanged polite greetings.This time, the air was charged with curiosity, and Artis could feel the weight of eyes on him as he entered the lift.As he stepped out, he found that Claire McKonnell was already waiting for him in the hallway outside his office, probably the receptionist had informed her in advance. She offered a warm smile, "Good morning, Mr. Hardy. It's a pleasure to have you here," Claire greeted him, leading the way into his office
Subconsciously, Liliana clenched her jaws, and her face hardened....Nichola squinted his eyes fiercely at Scar and raised his chin. Scar didn't care about their expressions. He was boiling at the moment, with rage pulsing through his veins, and this was mainly because his plan was ruined! What happened was all his plan, but it didn't go as he anticipated! He wanted to use Anna to achieve his aims and forced Collins to a corner, but it seemed luck wasn't on his side this time. Watching him like this, Liliana instinctively stood in front of Nichola in a defending position, her lips tensing. " He saved me! Without him, I would have been dead, so don't do anything to him," she immediately said, wanting to clarify the situation. " I don't care!" Scar's heart twisted, and he grabbed hold of Liliana. " Your dad sent me here since he is out of the country. Why are you defending him?! He only happens to save you! Don't treat him like a god!"Liliana sneered and twitched her nose.
Hope spiralled in her!" Really?! I don't care if he is rich or not. He makes a wonderful guy to me, and I won't really mind to have a relationship with him." Anna rolled her eyes from the other side. Since she didn't mind, she didn't have an issue with whatever Liliana choose. " You can do whatever. I have nothing to do with him." Liliana was joyful anyway. " Thank you Anna." She expressed her gratitude, holding the phone even more tighter. " You better be careful. That guy is a cheat, and I hope he doesn't end up hurting you at the end." Anna warned seriously. " I know he won't." Liliana was already certain. Then, the call came to an end. *** The next day, Nichola decided to branch over to a jewelry shop and get the jewelry he promised for Nina, before heading to skyline.Half an hour later, Nichola was done with getting the jewelry, but just as he was about to depart from the jewelry shop, he met two people he wanted to see last. " And look who is here?" Sounds of
" Stole it? If I stole this jewelry, do you think I would come out of this shop in one piece under the numerous surveillance cameras? Don't tell me you don't know what you are saying or deliberately framing me?" Nichola spoke up calmly, his expression deep and colder, even piercing, willing to sting one's heart! The people, who were present in the scene heard this, and they immediately agreed to Nichola's words. If he really managed to stole the jewelry, then he won't be able to escape from the surveillance cameras." That's a lie! You are clearly trying to escape from this, but I won't let you!" Lisa growled and spread out her fingers like claws, as if wanting to scratch Nichola's face angrily. " In what way? By explaining myself?" Nichola retorted sternly, crossing his arms over her chest. " What's your name again? Oh, I don't recollect. Maybe that's because i have forgotten about you, but you know what? I have been thinking, all these while, spending your time with Mark, did yo
" What are you two doing?!" A disgusted sharp voice resounded around them, startling and interrupting their moment. Slowly, Lily and Nichola turned to the direction of where the voice was coming from. " Can't talk?! Are you two tongue tied?!" Jack roared as he slammed the desk loudly, scowling! " How dare you try your lovey dovey act here?! Are you both tired of working, hun?!" Lily rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. " You are not the boss of me, so quit barking like a trouble dog. You don't have an idea of how you look, and besides, I already informed Mr. Oliver, so he gave me his permission. I am only resuming to work tomorrow, whether you are okay with it or not." Snapping her fingers, she glanced away from him impolitely. Nichola snorted and didn't even bother to pay any attention to the jobless Jack. With Liliana's reply, Jack checked himself impatiently, turning around and pondering if Liliana's words were directed towards him.."Do you mean th
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
