Nichola slowly turned to them anxiously, his nerves tensing. " Mum, Dad, is that you two?" He pointed to the two unfamiliar faces staring at him keenly. " So, this is really you two? How did you survive, and why didn't you look for me all these while? Why do you have to make me suffer all these years?!" Leonard and Maria, who were the real parents of Nichola, stood unmoving, their eyelids dropping, and they were overwhelmed with a guilty feeling. They were even lost on how to explain the whole story to Nichola. Nichola smiled bitterly, shifting his gaze away from them. " You don't have to say anything. I am already aware of the whole story since my foster parents explained everything to me." Hearing this, Leonard and Maria's expression gradually relaxed, and their mouths curved into a slight smile.." We are sorry son." They shook their head apologetically. " We are truly guilty for that, and we only did that to protect you. If we didn't do that, you might have gotten killed
Liliana's heart stopped a beat, and a flush creeped onto her face.." What do you mean, Nichola?" Nichola placed a finger on her lips and could feel how nervous Liliana was at the moment. " I promise I will take the responsibility." He assured her and leaned more closer to her. ** In a private room, two people were entwined together, seemingly not caring about the outside world, as they moaned and dived into the overwhelming sensation and addicting pleasure. Sounds of skin slapping at each other resounded around the whole room, a testament to the severity of their union. The temperature was thick and hot, lacing with a familiar pungent smell....*** Previously, when Lily went to the restroom, Anna decided to meet up with one of her loyal underlings in the banquet. " Miss Anna," a familiar waiter approached Anna and bowed. Anna didn't even bother to glance at the waiter but said haughtily, with a contemptous expression. " Don't come close to me. Can't you talk f
All of a sudden, her eyes landed on a piece of shiny emerald ear ring.. Anna's eyes flickered with an inexplicable emotion, and she immediately took the piece of emerald ear ring. " This belongs to Liliana.." She checked the ear ring carefully and turned to Dane. Dane snatched the ear ring from Anna's hand hardly, and his eyes even became fiercer! " It shouldn't be what I am thinking! If anything happens to my daughter, I will hold you responsible!" He threatened Anna, his brows snapping together deeply! Anna trembled, knowing she couldn't escape this. This was when something struck her, and her eyes went wide on her own. " Mr. Rossi, I remember there is a tracker on Liliana's ear rings. There is only a pair here. The other pair might be with Liliana. Why don't we try...and track that?" She swallowed down nervously as she suggested in trembling voice, a sweat tickling down from her face. Dane found her idea useful, and he didn't waste a time to order his men! " Locate
Oliver and the guards also heard this, and they speedily headed towards where the gunshot came from.Dane was so furious he couldn't think straight. He kept shooting the gun at Nichola, wanting to finish him at that moment. Anna was startled by this, but also excited at the same time.She thought since Nichola didn't die by her hands, then he might as well die from Dane's hands. Nichola was swift and managed to dodged all the bullets shooting towards him.In fact, he even grabbed hold of Liliana and protected her. Liliana was still soaked in regret and humiliation. It was at this time, Oliver and his men appeared and rushed in! " What's going on?!" Oliver shouted, glancing all around with a sharp gaze. Then, his eyes landed on the two people, who were slightly unclad, and his expression changed instantly. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, not knowing how to react in this kind of situation, or what to say. The same time, Scar, Leonard and Emilia, including the Wigh
" I can't do anything. I warned you, but you failed to listen to me. You have done the deed, and you both have to responsible for it. But note, I won't accept him!" He made his decision, and there was no going back. He would never accept Nichola! Liliana was full of guilt and didn't dare to say anything. ~~~ Nichola stepped into a particular Limousine, the moment he was out of the hotel. The Limousine belonged to his parents, and sure enough, Leonard and Emilia were in it, patiently waiting for their son. Nichola wasn't in a better mood and just wore a stoical look to conceal the gloom and annoyance, that was simmering in him. Even the air around him was sort of grim, heavy, and unfriendly. Leonard, being the one who had met several kinds of people, and a legend in the business world, was swift to feel the severe change in the atmosphere as a result of Nichola's presence. His eyebrows pulled together, allowing slim lines to set on his forehead. " Do you want to suf
" These are the people that will rip your heart out and burn your body!" An inhumane, savage light glinted across Anna's face, declaring in a cold tone.Upon her ruthless statement, the group of gangsters stepped forward, crackling and flexing their fists as if prepared to disable a punching bag. The waiter blinked repeatedly, thinking he wasn't hearing right, and he shook his head, his voice trembling, " Miss Anna, I didn't know you were good in joking."'He laughed out loud awkwardly, rubbing his temples together slowly. Anna mused and rolled her eyes inwardly. " Fool!" She was impatient and turned to the gangsters. " You know what to do. I don't want to ever see him again! Not anywhere in this world!" She ordered fiercely and lowered her eyes coldly. Hearing this, the waiter was now sure Anna's words wasn't a joke. But why? He didn't do anything wrong. He dutifully carried out what he was told to do, so what's going on? He felt wrong, puzzled, and astonished. In f
A white ceiling welcomed the view of Liliana as her lashes fluttered slowly like the wings of a delicate butterfly. “ Where am I?” This was the first statement that came out of her mouth, while her consciousness gradually sipped in. The secretary was pacing back and forth worriedly in the ward, with her palms clammy and twitchy, when she heard Liliana’s voice. Her eyes widened out of shock with her face mixing with different emotions. “ Doctor!” This was the only thing that came to the secretary’s mind. Liliana was stunned, her forehead creasing. Before she knew it, the doctor rushed in, also with an astonished face and quickly did some few tests on Liliana. Few minutes later, the doctor breathed out a sigh and faced Lily. “ You are quite lucky,” she said and shook her head. “ You passed out due to fatigue and excess stress, which is really bad for your body, most importantly in this kind of condition that you are. Fortunately, the baby is fine, and you have nothing to
He had waited for her all these while, and this was the time she was coming back. But the situation was more awkward. So, how was he going to face her, knowing he was the cause of her pain?“ I don’t think she hates you. I think she is just mad at the situation.” Oliver suggested calmly. Nichola lowered his head and turned his back coldly. “ You can leave now.” Oliver bowed and walked out. After Oliver left, Nichola got a call from his parents, requesting for him to come for dinner. *** Once it was evening time, Nichola went to meet his parents at the estate. Leonard and Emilia were thrilled and delighted to see their son. Quickly, they called him for dinner, since the table was already set. The trio chatted for a while. The atmosphere was pleasant. Leonard and Emilia glanced at each other, sharing a knowing look. “ Son, I am so proud of you,” Leonard confessed with a satisfied smile and laughed slightly. “ Within a month, you have managed to become so famous and u
