Emilia wasn't present in the house, so the two men had their private time to discuss properly. " How is he?" Leonard went straight to the point after tea was served, and he crossed his leg on big straw designed chair. " Have you gotten any update from him? I haven't heard anything from him since two days ago. I called him, but it wasn't going through. You are more closer to him, and I sure you would know something. What's going on?" Oliver cleated his throat and looked up at Leonard politely. " I think young master just want to deal with his affairs on his own." He suggested. " I have trust in him, and I am sure he can take over this. This is all just according to the plan." Leonard listened to the steward and frowned a bit. He leaned against the chair and stared at the outside view seriously. " I know he is capable of fulfilling the plan, but he shouldn't make us feel uneasy. His mother in particular isn't calm on this. You should tell him to check up on us. It won't hinde
Nina's eyelids trembled, and she felt deeply uneasy under Scar's intense vicious gaze! It doesn't sound like an empty threat.....Her heart pounded loudly in her ribcage, her lips quivering....*** The moment Scar left Nina's place, she made a call to Leonard, informing him of Scar's threat. She didn't take the threat as a small deal. Leonard was immediately alerted! " Nina, please, you have to be calm. I will ask Oliver to come and pick you. You aren't safe there anymore." Nina agreed and urged him to be quick. ** Liliana came back to the mansion quite late. She was too exhausted that she yawned loudly. Sandra walked up to her and smiled innocently. " My dear, you are back. You must be hungry. You should change and come and have dinner." She told her gently and helped Liliana with her designer bag. Liliana smiled sweetly at her mother and didn't notice anything different. She went upstairs and changed her outfit. When she came downstairs, she saw her mother
Liliana squeezed her face, mumbling with pouted lips. In that same moment, the door was pushed opened, and a familiar figure stepped in grinning obscenely, though his face appeared noble and gentle...Steven boldly glanced at the people in the room and walked over to meet Sandra. “ Aunt Sandra, nice to see you again.” He held Sandra’s hand and placed a kiss on it. “ You still look gorgeous as ever.” He complimented sweetly and winked at her. Dane also appeared and stood closely beside Sandra, as if showing off his position. Sandra blushed and covered her mouth elegantly. They exchanged pleasantries. It was at this time, Steven’s gaze darted to Liliana, who stood on the stairs, watching their interactions together with an impassive face. It was obvious she wasn’t interested. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and the instant she caught Steven’s hot gaze on her, she scoffed. Steven smirked and rubbed his chin slowly. His eyes fixed solely on Liliana , taking in
Steven answered, boasting with a haughty look, assured of his words and decided to use this as another ticket to get close to Liliana. Sandra's eyes glowed with excitement, and her mood gradually improved! Suddenly, Nichola rose up from the ground and volunteered, "What if I can help?"Sandra felt an unpleasant air around her and crinkled her nose in sarcasm. " You?" Nichola nodded confidently. " I know some medical skills and I can help if you don't mind." As he offered calmly, Steven laughed ridiculously and sneered. " A dog is also contributing to help. What a splendid thing to witness." Sandra thought about Steven's words and glowered at Nichola!" You are so foolish! Are you so bored that you don't even know what to think again?" She yelled at him in disgust and snorted. " An help from you will be just a waste of time cause you don't know anything." " Why don't you just try me out instead of judging and concluding right away?" Nichola snapped. He was getting sick of
The healer moved closer to Wilson and decided to check him, wanting to understand his illness the more. However, he didn't found out anything unusual and it baffled him greatly. His eyes flickered and he pursed his lips in confusion. Nichola took this as his chance and stepped forward. " Let me check him," he said boldly and faced Wilson. Wilson felt the strange air around Nichola and weirdly, it made him feel even more relaxed. Nichola smiled at Wilson and got down to the business. The healer was embarrassed st this and couldn't face Steven or Sandra. Steven and Sandra's face contorted harshly but they didn't say anything. " Your legs nerves are damaged and that's why your other body is been affected." Nichola spoke up seriously and rose up with a straight face. This stunned Sandra and she blinked repeatedly. She thought she was hearing things and pondered on how Nichola was aware of her father's real problem without her telling him. " Liliana! You are a cheat! How c
Nichola waited for some seconds before pulling out the needles one by one. The moment he was done, Wilson's eyes dilated rapidly, contracting!He gaped, and his body started jerking, sweating provusely.Nichola stood up and watched calmly.. In that moment, Sandra pushed opened the door in a rush!" What are you doing to my father?!" She yelled in shock, widening her eyes as it settled on her father that was gaping and jerking as if he was in unbearable pain! She was in panic over this, and her loud voice attracted others. The rest all rushed in to the living room and witnessed what was happening. They couldn't believe it! Sandra marched forward and raised her hand! " You bastard! I going to kill you for this!" Nichola stepped away and turned to them. ." This is part of the process." He told them in a calm tone. " What process?! You are just lying and don't know what you are doing! Listen Nichola if something happens to mr. Wilson, I am definitely to let you pay real har
.Before Liliana and Nichola were out of sight, the former suddenly turned her back and glared at her mother, reminding her. "Mum, don't forget the deal. Nichola had saved grandfather, and it's your turn to follow the rest of the deal." Sandra’s face paled instantly! She had totally forgotten about the deal. She gritted her teeth and glared at her daughter with malice!“ What deal?” Wilson was curious and asked. Liliana immediately informed Wilson of the deal her mother made with Nichola.Wilson wasn’t pleased with this, but he suppressed his anger!" Sandra! How can you be so immature! Is that what you are now? You can't even have a control over your mouth?! Isn't it?" He scolded her disapprovingly. Dane's lips twitched. Sandra pursed her lips, an endless shame surging in her heart, and she struggled for what to say. "I.........." " What do you have to say?" Wilson snapped at her. " You better keep shut!" He warned her sternly. He looked at Nichola and Liliana and sh
Scar and his guys looked to be working out at the gym, complete with clanging weights and strain grunts. The mood was filled with the determination that usually pervades such circumstances as they were engaged in their daily training regimen. They had no idea that their lives would be turned upside down by unexpected news. The atmosphere appeared to alter as Sydney, one of Scar's faithful guys, entered the gym. Sydney broke the seemingly usual news: Liliana, a major role in Scar's life, was marrying Nichole. Scar was stunned by the discovery, which came as a complete surprise to him."You must be joking, Wilson will never allow that to happen," Scar responded, his doubt clear in his tone."I apologize, boss, but this is occurring. "I have a proof, one of Wilson's maid confirmed it with me and I have the recordings here that I can show you," Sydney said, hoping to communicate the gravity of the issue.Scar, skeptical, questioned Sydney's assurance. "Are you sure about this, and c
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
