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
"I will like to use this medium to express how grateful I am, and how much I am excited to show my fiance. Honestly, I can say I am lucky to have someone like Jerry, who is ready to do anything for me, love and also prove himself worthy for me. Not only that, he is ready to spend so much money for me, and I can't even amount how much he has spend for me. This is really a big thing for me, and I appreciate him so much." She warbled non stop, grinning, but her eyes were directed to a particular person.Liliana didn't notice anything unusual, but Sandra immediately did, and her face darkened. She didn't think twice before slamming the glass of wine on her hands down and scoffed, irritatedly! " What are you trying to do, sister. . Are you trying to rub salt on our wounds?! What are your intentions?!" The guests all quickly turned to Sandra. Some of them frowned at her, while some just gazed at her with confusion, etching on their faces. This also finally caught the attention
She turned to Liliana and lifted her brows. " Is there something we should know as family?" " No! You don't have to know anything and don't talk about my husband like that!" Liliana snapped, a muscle in her jaws twitched, and she stared sternly at Emma. " Or else what?" Emma looked down at Liliana, her nose crinkling, and she sneered. " Don't think too much of yourself in this family. You mean nothing. Nothing at all, just like how your so called husband is the most useless person in your city or otherwise populary known as the country pumpkin." She smirked smugly, knowing how her words would easily pull Liliana down like always. " Well, that's something!" Liliana retorted immediately, in a furious manner, her nostrils flaring, and she lowered her eyes coldly.....** At the Wightmans mansion. Collins told Steven to have his seat, the moment they got to the study. Steven frowned again, but nontheless, he planted his butt on one of the executive chairs in the
Damn! He was truly doomed to the core! Collins ignored him and laughed slowly and mercilessly. " You are not finished yet. This is just the beginning." Steven just stared at him in terror....*** At the party. Before the tension between Emma and Liliana rose to a nth degree, Clara stepped forward and turned towards Nichola. "You can see how much of a bad luck that you are." She addressed him and snorted in disgust. " To prove if you are worthy or not, let me ask you. Do you have any gift prepared for me or not?" She demanded. Nichola turned to Clara and shook his head. " I don't have any gifts pre......."'" I said it! Yes, he is useless! Do you all see it now? Can you all witness how much of a waste he is?! This stinky destitute man here, is the so called husband of my beautiful sister, and it seems they are so much in love with each other, but they can't even see the truth in each other. How funny and ironic?"Emma didn't allow Nichola to finish his answer and
Without warning, Sandra who was inwardly seething, ignored this and faced Nichola. Pah! " You are a curse to this family! Don't come back with us and leave this family now! I don't want to see you ever again!" She declared on a strong ground, glowering at Nichola with fierce eyes, that were shooting flames! Nichola stepped back, not rubbing his cheek, and he looked straight, deeply into Sandra's eyes. " You think I am a curse to this family?" Sandra jerked her head backward and laughed dryly. " Did you just say I think...?" She asked, her jaws tightening! " No! Imbecile! I don't think you are a curse, you are indeed a curse, and I won't allow you to inflict your curse on this family! Enough of you and your uselessness! I can't take you anymore. I don't care whatever would happen, but you are leaving today, and I am getting my daughter a better husband and father for the unborn child! You don't fit to be a father and a husband!" Liliana couldn't believe her ears. She shoo
Anna snapped her brows together and immediately answered, " STEVEN? no! I don't like him! I can't love a man like him." " Are you sure?" Collins probed even more, maintaining eye contact with his daughter as if he wanted to see through her. " You can confess to me now. Have you fallen for him?" Anna's eyes dilated, withdrawing her gaze from her grandfather, Collins. She fiddled with her fingertips and parted her lips. In the next second, she closed her lips and sighed. " Grandpa, although I like him, but I don't love him. No matter how hard I try to, I just can't. Maybe because of the way he treats me and that. I just can't, and I know he doesn't deserve my love." She explained gently, rubbing her forehead. Collins's eyes narrowed, and he unpursed his lips. In that moment, he seemed to believe what Anna said and didn't ask anything more. " If that's the case, then whatever I do to him, know that he deserves it, and that's none of your concern. All I want you is to give you
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
