Pascal's heart jumped when he saw the news. Being out of the system was beginning to tell on him. He could not believe that something like that could happen to Oliver. How powerful was Veron? How formidable was the brat? There was something that Pascal was sure of and that was the fact that Oliver would never forgive him, if he was still alive.Pascal tried calling Mia but her number was not reachable. He tried again, and It was still the same response. There had to be a reason for it, and Pascal was certain that he would find it. He did not want to think of the worst. If she was with Oliver that day, it would mean something terrible.Pascal quickly jumped into his car and zoomed off to the crime scene. A lot of people and cops had gathered there, and they were retrieving Bodies From the rukus. Pascal nearly puked when he saw how dismembered the bodies were."Excuse me, but you cannot be here," Tom said to Pascal as he tried to spirit his way into the crime scene, but when he saw that
Elina's car cruised to a halt in front of Veron's mansion. Her father had carefully warned her never to associate with Veron but when he said that he wanted to see her, she knew she had to disobey him and listen to what he had to say.Mia exhaled and stepped into the house. It was her first time of returning there. What did he want from her, she wondered. As soon as she was inside, the servants came to attend to her."Oh, look who it is. My dearest niece. Tell me, Elina, do you like what I've done with the place?" He asked her and she sighed."I mean,it's literally the same thing to me. Did you make any renovations?" She asked him and he laughed"You have always had a good sense of humor. Sit, Elina and we shall kick start business." He told her and smiled. Elina obliged."Do you want anything to drink?" He asked her."No, thank you," was her reply."Nonsense. " He said and gazed at his butler. The man quickly arranged two glasses of wine and brought them forth. Elina was a bit uneas
"What the fuck was that back there?" Elina yelled at Veron as they tried to catch their breath. He www wonded on the knee, and the excruciating pain he was experiencing made Veron groan."Did you seriously try to kill me? How could you do that to your own niece!" Elina asked him, and Veron scoffed. He managed to stand up and he shot Elina a glare."Do not think that you are so important that I cannot dispose. At the end of the day, you are still another human being that I know. Nothing more. You are not special, you are not indispensable. You are... Nothing." He yelled at her back. Elina just gasped when he said the words."What do you think my father will say when he hears of this? He will have your head for it. Do you think that you can survive his wrath? My father will destroy you!" Elina screamed at him. Veron growled and restrained himself from punching her face. His burning mansion brought so much pain to his heart, and he did not know what to do."Do not test m, you brat! I wil
"How could you be so stupid Elina?" Viktor Grey yelled at Elina as she sat down on the long chair. Her heart was racing, and not just that, she was filled with burning anger. She kept her gaze fixed on a particular spot while she just listened to his rants."You worked with Veron to kidnap Mia. Do you have any idea how stupid that is? Do you have any idea what you've done?" He asked her."No! No I do not know what I've done. Why don't you enlighten me, then? I was trapped with your brother. I almost died! But you do not care about that do you? All you think about is your stupid new child while I have been here forever!" She yelled at Viktor Grey."Nonsense. I love you and you know that. But I do not want you to soil your hands with blood under Veron's influence. Nothing good ever comes from him and you know that. Oliver will destroy him. I do not want you to get destroyed with him." Viktor told her."I understand, father, and I promise you that I will be careful. I know what kind of pe
Chapter 1.The room was cloaked in blackness, light that illuminated the room was the single flickering Xander at the center of the table. Everyone knew that Viktor Grey was a man of colossal power and influence, he had called for a meeting among the billionaire and it felt as if he held more power than them, like the fate of the whole world was in his hands. As they took their seats, the atmosphere grew heavy with anticipation.Viktor cleared his throat, the sound echoing through the room, even though the weather was warm, everywhere in the room was filled with a chilling sensation. “This is why we are here,” Viktor started, he was about to lay out his plans, “I want to head this table. It’s about time I take over. It’s about time I take what’s mine. It’s about time for Oliver’s reign to end.” Viktor was saying all of these to make the other billionaires turn against Oliver. He was really urging them to be on his side, the seemingly untouchable force that had dominated their wo
Oliver walked into the company of one of the billionaires in the country. He made his way to the receptionist and rested on the counter gently while looking straight into the receptionist's eyes. She stared at him waiting for him to talk but he didn't."What do you want, Young man," She finally said and he stood up straight as if that was all he was waiting for."Now, that is how you know a good receptionist with great customer service but it took you long enough," Oliver said with a smile broadened on his face but the receptionist did not return the smile. "Well, I want to see Mr. Roger," he added and she bent her head to pick at Mr. Roger's schedule."What is your name?" She asked and he ran his hand through his head."It's Oliver," He answered and she kept staring at him. He didn't understand until she raised her eyebrows. "Just Oliver," he added and she smiled, taking a peek again at Mr.Roger's schedule. Oliver waited patiently as she rolled her eyes on the book, checking every na
Viktor Grey felt a heavy knot of worry in his chest as he stepped into the sterile, fluorescent-lit hospital room where his daughter Elina lay, frail and weak in a patient’s uniform, beneath white sheets. She had been in a car accident, and he was desperate to see her, but what he encountered was not the warm welcome he had hoped for.The machines around her beeped rhythmically, a constant reminder of her fragile state. Viktor had barely seen her since the accident that had left her in this condition, and guilt gnawed at him. He couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed even though his absence was justified where he had to attend to his other daughter, Mia.Elina's face, usually so gentle and caring, contorted with anger. Her eyes once filled with warmth and love, were now clouded with jealousy, as she spotted her father. "Where were you, Dad? You're always with Mia, and now you show up here?!" Her voice trembled with a mixture of pain, malice and resentment. Mia, his other daughter from a p
Chapter 4.It was on a Thursday, Mia was at home, and she was heavily on duties because she had deadlines to meet, she had stories to finish and published. While she buried her head in her laptop as she work oblivious to what was going on around her.She had planned to stay home today and canceled all her schedules which included meeting with Oliver, but when it comes to scheduling work, Oliver understands and there were times when she puts everything on holds just to be with him, and it was worth it.Unlike today, she really needed to finish work.Mia had put her phone on silent to block distractions and locked herself in, she sat on her favorite couch, wearing a black leggings and oversized shirt, apparently it was Oliver’s shirt. Her neighborhood was usually quiet and something unusual was happening, Mia thought, she was hearing the sound of cars speeding through and abruptly stopping, getting distracted and out of curiosity, Mia got up and went to the window, she noticed that th
