2024-10-29 19:42:56Nicola stared at the strange rich girl in front of him. What contract marriage is she talking about? He only just found out that he is from a rich family and this?
"I don't understand what you are talking about lady. I have never seen you before in my life." Nicola quickly told her.
She was taken aback by his sudden response and confidence. He had his head up, she expected him to be looking down but he was different.
"My grandfather told me I have a contract marriage with a man called Nicola Redgrave so I investigated you." She replied, still checking him up and down.
Nicola also continued to stare at her, still unable to believe all the things he has seen in just one day.
"I expected you to be someone prestigious but I guess I was wrong. I am disappointed that this is the man I will be marrying." She looked him up and down again.
Nicola scoffed, unable to take the rudeness of Anna. "What's wrong with me?"
"Don't get me wrong. You have good looks and physique but that's just it. You are just an ordinary man. I am disappointed, I thought my husband would be a talent." She answered him.
Nicola felt offended. Does she even know that he has just been betrayed by his girlfriend? He got betrayed and even attacked because of this same reason.
He wasn't even in the mood to talk about marriage with another woman, and a stranger at that. He's had enough of relationships for now. He felt awful.
Anna on the other hand was trying to do whatever she could to break the contract. She didn't want to be with a stranger more than his status.
She is ready to say anything to break the contract marriage. She doesn't know about what he has gone through today or if his girlfriend has betrayed him.
"Look, I want a divorce or whatever. Let's break this. I am ready to break this at all costs. I don't care what it will take." She insisted again.
Nicola just stared at her, trying to find the right words to say to the rude and arrogant girl.
"A divorce? Why are you telling me that though? Why not just tell your grandfather you don't want it?" Nicola snapped at her.
She rolled her eyes, "Are you dumb or what? Do you think I'll be here with you if I could ask my grandfather for that favour?"
Nicola shrugged, really offended by her. "I don't know. You could have tried at least. You don't have to lash out at me."
"Tell me what you want. No matter what you want, I'll give you. Money, a house, a good job, whatever you want. Just name it. It's the least I can offer you." She demanded.
She was already tired of talking to him, thinking he is trying whatever to stop her from ending the contract. She wants to end it faster than he thinks.
Nicola sneered, "I don't want anything from you. There's no way I will want to marry an arrogant and impolite girl like you either."
Anna frowned, "What?"
"You only care about yourself and no one. Status is all that matters to you and you speak with so much disdain. I wouldn't want a girl like you as my wife." He added again.
This made Anna angry. She came to insult him but she got insulted instead. What gives a pauper like him the confidence to talk to him like that?
"How dare you speak down on me like that? Who do you think you are?" She fired at him.
He didn't give her the reply she wanted. "The marriage will be cancelled. It must be cancelled."
She scoffed, "What? You're saying it like you suggested it first. It was my idea!"
"I don't care whose idea it is. I will ask my parents to have the marriage cancelled. I don't know how they got to know you..."
"Excuse me?"
"But rest assured, you won't be seeing my face for the rest of your life."
With that said, Nicola walked out on Anna without waiting for a reply. Anna felt so embarrassed. She reached her goal but she was so unhappy about it.
Never in her life did she think that there will be a man who doesn't like her. Even a rich man would have wanted to keep the marriage contract.
“Did he just break up with me when I suggested this first?” She thought in awe.
It's a wonder how a man like him would refuse a girl as beautiful as Anna. Nicola Redgrave just ignored her beauty and wealth which has never happened before.
“This is so embarrassing. I was expecting something else and I met the opposite. I really shouldn't underestimate people.”
Then she heard someone laughing from behind her. She rolled her eyes, the embarrassment creeping in again. Another girl, Liliana who was in the car before came out.
She clapped and laughed at Anna. "Did you just get ignored by an ordinary man? With all the power, beauty and wealth you have?"
"What are you talking about? I came here first! I suggested the divorce. I didn't get ignored." Anna defended.
Liliana nodded, "Of course you did. You are probably not as beautiful as you thought for a man like that to completely ignore you."
Anna felt annoyed that Liliana was laughing at her embarrassment.
"That's not what happened! I think he just got too embarrassed that I cancelled the marriage with him so he said that. Even a poor man has his pride." Anna tried to reason with Liliana.
But Liliana would not stop laughing at her. "To think that you were so rude to him. Did you expect him to beg you after treating him like that?""
Anna did not say anything. She just stared at the direction Nicola went, secretly hoping that he would come back and apologise.
"Just accept it. You are not as attractive as you thought. So he doesn't even care about you one bit." Liliana continued to tease Anna.
Anna scoffed, "Why are you attacking me like that? Get over here!"
Anna ran around the car trying to chase Liliana while Liliana kept annoying her. Just then, Liliana's phone rang and she stopped running.
It was on her father. She stopped Anna and picked the call. Anna noticed her countenance changed while she was being told something on the phone.
Anna's curiosity piqued. She waited for Liliana to hang up the phone before asking.
"What was that? You don't look happy." Anna asked Liliana.
Liliana heaved a huge sigh, "Of course I wouldn't be. My father just called me and he wants me to work instead of lazing around."
Anna shrugged, "Well... he has a point. But isn't that a good thing?"
"He said I must go to Skyline company to work tomorrow instead of doing nothing everyday. That was so unexpected."
Anna nodded, "It is unexpected indeed but skyline is not a bad company. You wouldn't know unless you tried."
Liliana just kept quiet. She didn't plan to work before and now her father suddenly wants her to work. Can the timing be more wrong?

The next day, Nicola went to Skyline company just like he was invited. He was unable to sleep the whole night, thinking about the sudden change in his life. He got humiliated by a lot of people yesterday. Does he really have a wealthy family out there waiting for him? Can he really change his miserable life once and for all? He called the butler's number from the card he got yesterday. The butler told him to go straight to the CEO's office so that everything was prepared for him. Nicola felt relieved that this is true after all. He entered the elevator where there were a few more people, it was crowded. Just when the elevator was about to go, another person rushed in. A beautiful girl came into the elevator, looking like she ran all the way to the company. She looked very worried because she was going to be late. She kept moving her feet for the elevator to move fast so Nicola immediately gathered she must be in a hurry. So he wanted the elevator to close fast but someone else s

Liliana knew she was in trouble after what happened with the supervisor of the business department. That man will probably remember her face when she gets there. She sighed deeply, already frustrated by the whole work issue. Knowing how creepy the supervisor looks at her makes her cringe. "If I knew the result, I would have gone out of the elevator like I wanted to. Seems like I will have a tough life now." She sounded sad when she said that. This made Nicola feel bad. He was the one who kicked out the fat man and caused trouble for her. He felt responsible for it. "I am sorry. I didn't know things would be like that. It's my fault for kicking him out." He apologised to her. She shook her head, "No, it's okay. You can't be sorry when all you did was help me.""Will you be okay? That man doesn't look alright in the head." Nicola washed her, genuinely concerned. She nodded, "I guess I'll just have to deal with whatever comes my way."Though she wasn't fine with it, she didn't want

"The business department? Are you sure that's where you want to go?" The butler asked him in confusion. Perhaps he thought Nicola would be choosing another big department since there's a lot of big vacancies left in then. "I am sure that's where I want to go. I told you, I need to know more about business and there's no better place." Nicola answered, determined to go there. "There's no big space there though. You'll be at the bottom of the department." The butler warned him. He nodded, "That's the point exactly. That way, there will be no biases and I can learn everything I need to learn."The butler had no choice but to accept. "I'll make a job offer for you to go there. Starting from the bottom is not a bad idea too." Nicola waited in the office as the butler called the assistant to make a job offer for him. He was more intrigued with the fact that he couldn't even get a decent job before. Now he gets to choose which job he wants? That's more than enough to make him happy. T

The supervisor was angry that Liliana kept rejecting him again. He wanted to have his revenge on the both of them. "You still dare to reject me? I'll show you a lesson!" He tried to raise his hand on Liliana. Nicola scoffed, unable to keep his cool anymore. "You can't do that sir. That would be abuse, we can report you." The supervisor got more annoyed than ever. Liliana on the other hand was just happy to have someone like Nicola defending her. "You have no idea what you got yourself into! This is a warning to you! If you don't finish the project, you both will be fired!" He yelled at them and left. Nicola bent over to Liliana, "You don't have to think too much about it. Just do your best and leave the rest.""I don't think I am actually worried about the project. I just find it odd." She replied him. Nicola nodded and found his table. He say there, staring at the desk and not knowing what to think. To be honest, he was concerned about the project. What exactly is the problem

In the evening after closing from work, Nicola and Liliana went to a bar. Liliana was the one who invited him and took him there. He hardly goes to places like bars. He looked around and saw all sorts of people laughing and drinking together. There were also a group of men and some women there. He was a little bit timid because he has never dated a girl like Liliana. He thought all the girls he would date would be like Lisa. When he was with Lisa, he was like a servant. He never thought a girl like Liliana would be so good to him. Most girls he has also met in his life has always looked down on him that he got used to it. "Why do you keep looking around? Are you that uncomfortable being here?" Liliana asked Nicola who keeps looking around frantically. "Not really, it's just that I don't come to bars often so I am just taking a look around." He replied her. This got Liliana interested, "I'm impressed. A good looking man like you should have fun once in a while you know." He

"This is not about playing hero. It's about showing stupid guys like you where you belong." Nicola answered bravely to Liliana's surprise. Liliana tugged him, "What are you doing? Don't meddle and they'll leave you alone." "I'll be fine, don't worry." Nicola whispered back. The leader scoffed, "Are you sure you'll be fine. Do you have any idea what you are doing?" "Try me you scum! Stop bothering people here and get lost!" The onlookers around whispered to each other, they all felt like Nicola is another crazy man who is butting into things that he should not. "Who is he? Does he not know who their boss is?" "Scar is the leader of Highland district, he is the king of mafias here. He is really a tough guy, who serves a mysterious tycoon." "Is he crazy meddling in this? I didn't know who they were before but the moment they mentioned Scar..." "They are going to break him to pieces. He could get other girls with his handsome face. Why is he helping her?" Liliana could hear

Nicola sneered, he looked at the man who came to him, he looked really tall and strong. He looked very angry and prepared to fight Nicola. The men are now standing behind their so called boss. They all seem to be happy that their boss will beat Nicola up. Everyone also looked scared for him. "Are you the one who did this? Did you just beat up my men?" Scar snarled at Nicola. Nicola did not look moved at all, "Yes, I did. Why? You want to fight for them? They all deserved what they got." Everyone murmured at the same time. The men all sneered, seeing the way he talked arrogantly. "He is so arrogant. He must think he is all that just because he was able to defeat us." The leader mocked Nicola. Scar raised his hand to hush everyone. He looks pissed that someone is talking back at him even after knowing he was around. "They deserved it? How dare you? Do you have any idea what you have just done!" Scar's yell was so loud that it scared a lot of people. Nicola was just about to say

Scar's eyes lingered suspiciously at Nicola and Liliana as they departed, till their figures were out of sight. He was astonished just now, with how Liliana defended and treated Nicola. This was something so unusual! " Shawn, go and find out more about Liliana and her relationship with that strange dude," he called one of his most trusted underlings, who was hidden in the shadows and instructed him coldly. " Yes boss." After his order, an inexplicable look glinted in his eyes, and he lowered them slightly. No one knew, but Liliana has a powerful and terrifying background. Her father is the biggest mafia boss in the city, while he was just her cousin, and a member in the Mafia society. This was the main reason why Scar was fearful of Liliana. He wouldn't dare to do anything rash for the sake of his hidden plans.... *** The day went down, with the next one blooming quickly, spreading a gentle glow across the bustling city.

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,

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."

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.

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.

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.

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
