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
" Do we have an understanding?" Lisa nodded swiftly and rubbed her temples. " Fine. I guess I don't have a choice. So, what do we do now?" " We leave this place first!" Scar answered determinedly. *** All gazes were directed towards one direction. Impossible! Nichola also felt a warm light around him, and he lowered his gaze at his hand. The real wrist bead of amatuala! " Hubby! You have the real bead of Amatuala! This is great!" Liliana exclaimed excitedly and rushed towards Nichola. She held him tightly and unexpectedly kissed his cheek! " No wonder it didn't glow at first. It was just to deceive the people." Nichola didn't say anything but smiled frivolously.. Wilson curled his lips and patted Nichola's shoulder. " Don't tell me you don't have any idea that the real bead was with you all the time?" "I........" Nichola was at loss on what to say. To be honest, he had a slight idea about this, but he wasn't sure. It was at this moment the gu
Steven roared at Anna and slapped her cheek, pushing her to one side harshly! " Ahh!" Blood instantly dipped to the ground....Steven saw how Anna's cheek was bleeding and he hissed, with disgust! " Next time, don't question me if I didn't give you the permission to!" Anna held her bleeding cheek in horror and watched as Steven walked away, staggering. She didn't say and just sat on the floor. The next day, she took her leave silently. When she got back to the mansion, she saw her family, as if waiting for her..There was a haunted look in her eyes as she stared at them and she sighed. Her mother and father walked over to her and held her hand, looking at her worriedly. " Anna, we have been calling you since last night. Are you okay?" Anna nodded absentmindedly. " I am fine. I was at Steven's place, we just went out. You don't have to worry." Then, she walked away from them but Collins stopped her..He told her parents to go back in and he faced Anna. "Young lady, you
