Nichola, displaying a sense of responsibility, addressed the issue with a determined expression. "We'll look into it and find a solution," he assured the secretary, subtly acknowledging the importance of cooperation in the business realm.***Some minutes later The air in Liliana's office was dense with an unspoken weight, a palpable silence that mirrored her grief. The somber atmosphere seemed to infiltrate the walls, giving the normally vibrant surroundings a subdued tone. The papers on her desk remained undisturbed, as if to reflect the quiet that enveloped her. She sat with her shoulders hunched and her gaze concentrated on somewhere far away.Liliana's husband, Nichola, entered the room again, after the thirty minutes call he received from Oliver, his step almost muted by the weight of her anguish. "Liliana, what's wrong?" he said, his face concerned.Liliana sighed deeply before finally saying out, afraid to convey her emotions openly. "It's the company, Nicholas." "Blac
With its antique furnishings that conveyed stories of a bygone period, Anna's home's charming living room emanated a serene aura. Anna was waiting impatiently for her grandfather Collins, a beaming smile on her face. Her heart was full with gladness, reflected in the warm glow provided by the sunlight filtering through the lace curtains.Collins' hard face softened as he entered the room, seeing Anna's happiness. But his attitude changed instantly when he asked where she was. "Anna, where have you been?" he asked, his brow pinched in concern." I visited the Rossi family" Anna replied."And why is that ?" Collins asked.She explained to him but Collins was infuriated, his jaws clenching..The ramifications of Wilson endorsing Liliana and Nichola's marriage were beyond his comprehension. The room had a strained atmosphere that contradicted the apparently calm surroundings due to the weight of the situation. Collins expressed his disapproval with a severe scowl, his words resoundi
Liliana's voice echoed through the air, charged with frustration and defiance. She argued vehemently with Scar, her words a symphony of emotions clashing against the walls. Scar, in turn, responded with a mix of anger and desperation, the tension between them escalating with each passing moment."You can't control my life, Scar! I won't let you dictate who I can be with," Liliana declared, her eyes ablaze with determination. Scar, known for his assertiveness, found himself facing a formidable opponent in Liliana's unwavering resolve."I can control your life and that is what I am meant to do" "Why would you control my life?, just give me one reason why" " Because I own you"" Am not a material so u don't own me"Their argument, a clash of wills, reverberated through the lonely road. The dark surroundings bore witness to the unfolding drama, as Liliana fought for her agency and Scar grappled with the unraveling of the control he once held.Nichola couldn't take this and argued
Anna sat up straight on the bed ,eagerly, her eyes turning round gradually. She thought she was hearing things from Steven and found it incredulous. " What are you saying?" Steven's lips curved into a sneer, as he responded in a tone full of disgust, " You heard me right. Do you expect a wealthy influential person like me to repeat himself? Don't you know what's called respect, or you expect me to define it for you?" Anna's eyes dilated instantly, and she shook her head with disbelief. " Steven Grey!" She yelled, and her eyes immediately became red rimmed. " You just called the man." Steven got up from the bed lazily and stretched himself, throwing the cigar butt to one side. " Look baby girl, I don't take girls like you. We did this, and I didn't deny. You wanted it right, and I also needed it? So, you think I will be all over the moon for you? Tahhhh... tripping for cheap ladies ain't on my lane. I only have eyes for Liliana, but she is too stupid and doesn't know a good
When they got outside, Scar was the first to board the car, waiting for Liliana. He quickly sent a message to Jack instantly: Prepare for the mission. Then, he lowered his eyes and curled his lips darkly. Some minutes later, they got to one of the famous bar in the city. The both of them got out of the car and approached the bar. Liliana was in a good mood and didn’t notice anything odd about Scar’s expression. When they got in, Scar ordered two bottles of wine, and they headed off to the VIP section. It didn’t take long for them to get drown in their activities. Liliana forgot the fact that she was pregnant and ended up taking more than a bottle of hard wine. Her face flushed real hard, with her cheeks turning hot, and her vision gradually became blurry as seconds pass. She tried to raise her hand, but she was too weak and couldn’t understand what was going on with her. On the other hand, Scar just took few cups, but he was still able to maintain his rational
Oliver immediately informed him of Liliana’s situation currently.Nichola scowled, his expression darkening as he clenched his fists hardly till his knuckles went pale! Instantly, he bustled out of the hospital. ***** At the bar The men had already tore of Liliana's dress, leaving her with only her underwear, allowing the breeze blowing in to sliced through her skin, making her to curl subconsciously. They didn't mind this and even found it interesting as they laughed and licked their lower lip hungrily. They started making designs on her body with their filthy hands, which just made Liliana to feel discomfited the more. Under the dim light, her exquisite face turned blanched, twisting, and she choked, feeling the need to puke out. Scar, who was watching and anticipating the next action, suddenly grew impatient and made a call to one of the men.." Do you all want me to pierce your manhood! Get down to it this minute!" The men were terrified and quickly decided
Jack raised his head and knitted his brows. He didn't say anything and just immediately did as Scar said. The moment he was gone, the door to the room where Scar was, bursted open! Scar was thrown towards the wall with full force, colliding harshly with the wall! He grunted loudly but tried to suppressed the pain as he puke out few blood from his mouth. Nichola marched in, his steps heavy and filled with fury. The instant, his sharp eyes landed on Scar. With pursed lips, he strode over and swiftly grabbed hold of Scar. " You bastard! Let me go!" Scar cursed and yelled at him, his face contorting with fury as he tried to struggle free from Nichola's hard grasp! " Bastard?" Nichola tilted his head and grinned sinisterly. " Let me show you what a bastard does!" Scar groaned, glaring at Nichola and he yelled! " Who the fuck are you?! You can't do anything to me! You have no right to defend Liliana or stop me in my plans! This is none of your concern!" Gbam! Nichola punc
He didn't know what to do now. Nichola was clearly forcing him, but he didn't want to back down. He took a slight step and glanced back at the dark sea. A thin layer of sweat immediately formed on his forehead nervously. " Don't tell me you are afraid of death now?" Nichola taunted, with his lips curling ridiculously, still approaching Scar, but he had reduced his pace.." Do you know how it feels now?" He questioned in a deep voice, lowering his eyes.." When you set up an accident for me, making me to lose a patient, and when you hit the last straw, attempting to make Liliana to be raped and wanting to get rid of the baby! My baby!" His voice was bone chilling, piercing Scar to the core, making his teeth to start chattering like a typewriter. His eyes went icy as if willing to freeze Scar to death! Scar didn't know how or why, but he suddenly felt a suppressing over bearing feeling, dragging him down. His face contorted fearfully, and his forehead furrowed. Nichola la
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
