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
Nichola relaxed himself even more and curled his lips, as he heard this. " Tell him to monitor and record everything."" Yes, young master." The moment Oliver skipped out of Nichola's office, Leonard walked in majestically, his powerful aura surrounding the whole office room. Nichola didn't need to be told as he already knew who it was." Dad." He called out to his father in a calm manner and looked at him.." Son." Leonard also called out to him as he took his seat, facing Nichola. He crossed his fingers together and rested it on the desk. Nichola gave a curt but respectful nod to his father and crossed his legs together calmly.." Good that you are here." Leonard raised one of his brows, wondering what his son meant. Initially, he came here for a different purpose. " What do you mean?' Nichola stood up from the seat and strolled to the decorated wall, silently admiring the intricate well meticulous design.." I think the Wightmans and the Rossis might be involved in
. She stood up with a straight face, twisting her lips, and she adjusted herself. " However, I won't stop in what I am doing. I still believe Nichola is unworthy of my daughter, which means I won't accept him!" Declaring this determinedly, she stormed off! Wilson just watched Sandra with disbelief evident in his eyes but said no words...A rolls royce phantom pulled up just before a five stars hotel. A familiar figure stepped out of the rolls Royce and approached the hotel, with a straight unfriendly face. Collins got to the restaurant of the hotel and saw Dane already waiting for him calmly.‘’ You do know its impolite and unprofessional to make a Don like me wait?’’ Dane looked up at Collins, who was towering over him like mount tai and spoke up so casually, breaking the silence like that.Collins face twisted, and his lips twitched annoyingly! ‘’ You better shut up now cause you don’t know anything and you don’t have the right to say any words if I don’t ask you too!’’H
The manager agreed, and they laughed at each other. At a corner, someone unfamiliar stood silently, watching the two with an unknown expression. After Liliana and the manager left to the conference meeting, the unknown man strolled out of the small company.He got outside and quickly made a call to someone, ‘’ Boss, I have every.thing you requested for.’’ He informed the person at the other end of the call. ‘’Good. keep an eye on her.’’ The unknown person at the other end replied instantly in a strange tone.‘’Yes, boss’.’ The man nodded obediently and immediately ended the call.At the other end of the call. Scar just placed down his phone on a large desk in dimly lit room that reeks of a familiar nose twitching smell and turned to the person behind him, smirking wickedly and proudly. ‘’ I won’t forgive them for what they did to me! They think they can have a happy life, while I am not having the same kind of life! I am going to ruin everything, so we can be even. Because
As a matter of fact, he almost lost his balance! Nichola turned to Mark and narrowed his already chilly eyes, that was emitting an overbearing suppressing flame! " You better get lost before I lose my patience!" He warned him coldly and straightened himself. Then, he withdrew his gaze impolitely and walked out of the reception. Mark was astonished, blinking multiple times as he failed to comprehend what just happened. Wasn't he supposed to hit Nichola? How did he end up getting hit instead? At this moment, he couldn't even face anyone, and it was quick to dawn on him that he had lost to Nichola again! His face became uglier like a dead ass, and his complexion turned worse!His disgust for Nichola had just rose to a new level, blaming him for everything! **It was around the mid afternoon when Dane got back to the estate.By this time, Wilson had left since he couldn’t stand Sandra’s behavior and only hoped for her to have a change of mind on her perspective of Nichola.
However, Sandra blocked their path and turned to Nichola. " Liliana, did you just say your insensible, invaluable and useless piece of thrash like your husband is coming along? You want us to take your thrash to the party? This rotten depraved fool, who has no benefits on him, should come with us to the party?"" Liliana, let me ask you. Do you hate me that much or do you hate this family so much , you just want people to mock and look down on us. Is that what you want? You have to tell me now!" Sandra's loud voice was enough to draw the attention of Dane, who was also preparing for the party. Without telling him, he already knew his wife was about to cause trouble just like always, but he didn't bother. He just walked calmly out of his room, approaching Sandra. Liliana's expression froze instantly, not anticipating her mother to bring up the usual chorus, and for a moment she didn't know what to say or how to react. Sandra snorted coldly, twitching her nose. " I won't acco
Two hours later, Liliana and her family arrived at another city. They didn't waste any time and headed to their aimed place, since the party was already about to commence. The Car pulled right in front of a tall Mansion, exuding an aristocratic vibe, and they got out of the car. Sandra hooked her right arm with Dane, and they both strolled into the mansion right in front of them, taking their steps carefully. The same goes for Liliana. Even though, she got a deadly unpleasant glare from her mother, she ignored her and went into the mansion, holding Nichola intimately. **** The birthday party was already close to commencing and almost all the invited guests, who were mostly from the second class rated families in another city, were present. The mansion was decorated nicely, with intricate and luxurious, screaming of elegance and uniqueness. It gave out a whimsical air, full of glow. The main character of the day, Clara, who happened to be Sandra's sister, with he
Clara scowled, glaring at Liliana, and she took a two steps towards her, but she was instantly stopped by Nichola. Nichola's eyes were icy and expressionless as the dead sea, his lips thin as they moved, warning Clara sternly. " Don't cross the lane when it comes to my wife." " And who the hell are you?" Clara glanced coldly at Nichola and scoffed in disgust. " Who told you to talk ? You are not even befitting to stay close to me, or even open your mouth wide and utter anything to me." Her eyes flickered when she realized what Nichola said but found it puzzling. Liliana, a wife? When did that happen? Is she married? Nichola didn't even respond to her. He took hold of Liliana's hand and just like Dane, they walked past from Clara, trying to avoid her trouble. Clara didn't also say anything and went back to what she was doing previously. But this wasn't over yet. *** Steven called one of his servants and ordered for a sumptuous lunch to be made and designed
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
