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
He stared deeply into his wife's eyes and said slowly, " You don't question the way I brought up my daughter! If you can do better, you wouldn't have left for years in the first place. This will be your last warning. Don't ever blame anything on me!" With this, he walked away. Sandra just watched him, twitching her lips... When Dane got outside the hospital, he immediately made a call to one of his subordinates. "I want you to find out where Scar is and make sure you bring him to me alive!" He ordered solemnly and pressed the red button. ~~~~~ Nichola led Liliana back into the ward and made her to lay down on the bed. "You don't have to stress yourself in defending me. I can handle it. I just need you to get well." He told her as he sat beside her and handed her a cup of water. Liliana refused the water, shaking her head, and she sighed. "I should. You are my husband and it's only right I should defend you." Nichola didn't answer and shifted his gaze away from h
The door was opened, and a familiar face came to came to view. " Finally the time for you to show up." Liliana lifted her head and sneered ironically. Anna rolled her eyes inwardly but maintained a forced smile. " You can't even greet me or welcome me. Don't I mean anything to you anymore?"'A mocking smile tugged Liliana's lip, and she chuckled coldly. " Coming from someone who called me a friend and just paying a visit to me since all these times. Do you think I am a fool, Anna? You don't have to fake this. You look bad if you do." At this moment, she wasn't in the mood to deal with someone like Anna. She felt she had experienced enough with fake friends. Anna laughed slightly and shook her head. " So you think I am a fake friend?" She felt insulted one way and smiled bitterly. " Liliana, you really don't have to judge me. I have things that I am going through, and it is draining me in all aspects. I really want you to understand I didn't ignore you or something like t
Nichola called Wilson and bowed slightly, in a respectful manner. " I don't think you should call me that." Wilson said and clasped his hands together. " I don't know your identity, but I know you are not someone simple. I heard of what you did, and it only makes me curious about you more. Tell me, Nichola. I am not a kid, and I can see through you more. Who are you?" Wilson narrowed his eyes calmly at Nichola as he said. Nichola raised his brows and smiled. He knew Wilson to be quite smart, but he wasn't ready to reveal anything. He stuffed his hands into his pocket and looked away from Wilson. " I am a country pumpkin who everyone is aware of. I only saved Liliana in order to prove myself to her. I want to try and be a good husband. So I don't think that should mean I am hiding anything?" Wilson rubbed his chin, not breaking eye contact with Nichola as he listened to what the latter was saying. " Everyone thinks that you are a country bumpkin, but why don't I think you
" That's why, I can say you are a coward! Yes, you don't deserve to be a man! You are a coward!" Pah!"Ah!" Lisa's cheek swelled up immediately, flushing, and it became numb, heavy, instantly. A look of disbelief roamed across Lisa's face, as she stared at Mark incredulously. She couldn't wrap her mind on what just happened! " You are becoming too disrespectful!!" Mark yelled annoyingly and moved closer to Lisa. He gripped her neck and pushed her against the wall violently! " Who are you to talk back to me?! Whatever I say, who are you to question me?! I think you need to be dealt with. Don't forget because of you, I am in this current slum situation! You turned me into this, in your efforts of trying to please the society!" His grip on her neck tightened, and his eyes darkened, a hint of malice and viciousness flickering in his dark eyes! "Do you know how bad I want to make you pay for this and even kill you?! Do you know what you have made me lost and gone through?! Now,
" Oh, really? If that's the case, then let's see what your husband has for you. You can't accept Steven's gift, but what about your husband own, let's see what he has." Liliana's expression changed in that moment...She bit her lips in regret. Lord, what have I done? Sandra didn't care about her daughter's expression and immediately turned to where Nichola was. Steven also heard their argument and decided to chime in, wanting to see what the so called husband has for his wife. " Liliana, you should allow your mum to ask Nichola what he has for you. As your dear husband, it is only right for him to give you something in this kind of occasion." He winked at Liliana and curled his lips, then he faced the guests. " Or, isn't that right?" The guests glanced at themselves and quickly nodded. " Yes, you are right. A husband should definitely has something for his wife, except if he is not responsible at all." " I support your words. I have been hearing rumors about the husban
Steven showed the bead to everyone and laughed out loud. " I am not the dream of every girl in this city for nothing." The guests all agreed. " Let me introduce this bead to you. So this is the bead of amatuala, which has lived for centuries. I don't know if anyone of you has heard of it, but it is rumoured to belong to a goddess. In fact, it was even said that it contained some of the goddess powers. This bead alone can grant the wearer long life, beauty, and blessings." He explained with flourish, his eyes radiating of pride.." Due to this, I am giving this bead to the only goddess I know who is right in front of me." He bowed and presented the gifts humbly to Liliana. Liliana didn't even spare him a glimpse and rolled her eyes. " I don't need your whatever goddess bead." Steven frowned immediately and turned to Sandra for help. Sandra was already getting fed up of Liliana's stubborn attitude. She slapped Liliana's hands and warned her in a low voice, barely audible
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
