"There's a problem?" Bryan repeated Arthur's words being curious, "With whom? And what kind of problem is it?"

Arthur hesitated for a moment before answering, but somehow gave his answer, "problem is with your father."

Bryan's brow furrowed as he looked at Arthur intensely, "What did he do this time?" Arthur glanced at Mirabel, being unsure if he should speak openly in front of her or not as he doesn't know anything about her. Bryan noticed his hesitation and reassured him. "Don't worry, she is my person. You can talk freely and don't mind her presence here."

Arthur nodded, looking relieved at Mirabel isn't someone he needs to be wary of, "Okay then. What I found out is truly unbelievable but the source of information is true, actually that most of the competitors aren't really competing."

"What do you mean? If they're not wanting to compete then why did they list out their names for tender participation?" Ronald asked being puzzled by Arthur's words.

"They’re not real competitors," A

    "Yes, it's a diamond mining project everyone dreams for, you fool," Neil snapped angrily at his foolish wife who never understands him or his actions, "when it's that important to me, whereas you're calling it a stupid mining project and wants me to hear your nonsense, I wonder whether you've a brain or not!"Josephine felt humiliated for being slapped in front of everyone, including the workers. She touched her stinging cheek and bit her lip, trying to hold back her anger knowing the anger of her will never solve anything. Neil continued expressing his frustration, "If I had gotten that mining project, I could have earned ten times more than everything I've made so far. But now it's gone, damn it! All my dreams got vanished our night as that mining project gone to a nameless startup, can you even understand what I'm going through because of all these?""A diamond mine, huh? How can you be so sure it's full of diamonds? Did you even know whether that place is where diamonds are found

    "What do you mean by asking such a question?" Stacy was caught off guard by the sudden question of Nancy out of nowhere, while John bowing respectfully left from there leaving the three sisters to have a conversation.Nancy looked serious wanting Stacy to speak truth rather than trying to escape with a lie, "Don't make me repeat it Stacy. I clearly heard you talking to Bryan last night, so why bother lying to us? I know very well that you and Bryan are still in contact, it's okay if you lie to our mother, why are you trying to lie in front of us too?"Stacy smiled awkwardly, realizing she'd been caught red handed and no use of lying. Mia who was patiently hearing everything was curious to ask, "So, does Bryan talk to you? Is he rude to you? Did he insult you just the way he acted cold to Nancy?""He was never rude Mia, but he’s cold enough to push anyone away who tries to get close to him. It’s hard to stay around him when he’s like that, but he isn't rude, and he doesn't think of ins

    "Are you okay, Prince?" Mirabel asked as she approached Bryan, who was standing on the balcony, gazing up at the night sky with an unknown sadness within him.Bryan smiled at her as soon as he saw her coming to him, "Yeah, I’m fine. Why aren’t you asleep yet?" He gently brushed a strand of hair from her face, "didn't you get sleep because of this place being new to you?" Mirabel stood beside him enjoying the gentle breeze and beauty of the night, " there's nothing like a new or unfamiliar place, I wasn't able to sleep normally, so I came looking for you thinking you would be there to talk with me until I fall asleep."After dinner, Arthur had left saying it's getting late and his aunt might be worried about him, coming to Ronald, being tired, he had fallen asleep on the couch itself. Mirabel had been given a room to rest in since it's already late and he can't take her to the dorm back, though she initially went to the room to sleep, still she couldn't shake the concern she'd felt du

  • REVENGE OF THE DESPISED HEIR   WHAT DID SHE DO?

    Bryan chuckled, while watching Mirabel's innocent face when she asked such a question with innocent looks on her face. He didn't want to correct her innocence as he loved that she was sweet and naive, unlike the malicious or cunning people he'd known, so he felt it's okay for her innocence to be the way it is at least when she is with him."Just holding hands until we fall asleep, okay?" Mirabel requested with a gentle time thinking Bryan doesn't want to share a room with her."Okay, but just don’t use your legs or body to strangle me later in your sleep," Bryan teased with a wink, making her laugh being relieved that Bryan is okay to share the bed with her."Even if I did, it’s not like I’m that heavy enough to strangle you, I’m pretty light like a feather so you'll not feel anything," Mirabel giggled as she praised herself, Bryan ruffled her hair. "I’m the one who should be saying that, not you, I don't think you're light enough like a feather since I carried you multiple times bef

    "She hasn't done anything," Bryan mumbled, clearly worried about her as he continued dialling her number again and again, "Her phone's been off for the last two days, no replies to my messages or emails, at first I thought she is busy but being off for two days, I don't feel good, do you think she's really okay?"Ronald smiled at Bryan's concern for his sister despite him acting cold towards her. "You act like you don't care about her and always complain that she annoys you, but look at you now, worried just because she hasn't talked to you just for two days, what exactly am I supposed to call this concern?" Bryan sighed at Ronald's lecture at times like this when he is worried. "That's not the point here Ron." "Then what's the point? Unless you say I'll not understand anything right?" Ronald asked staring at Bryan for his answer, while Bryan took a deep breath before he could start speaking, "She hasn't even gone to work for the last two days, and her phone's off. She doesn't have

    Nancy, Mia, and John turned around to see Bryan standing behind them with his arms crossed along with a furious look on his face. Giving them another chance to speak out, he asked firmly in a serious tone, "What's the truth, and where is Stacy? Why exactly are you people trying so hard to hide her from me?"Mia tried to divert the situation with a smile. "Bryan, go back to your room please. We’ll talk about this later, Stacy will be happy to hear that you're back home, I'll personally inform her about your arrival and I'll ask her to meet you soon," she said, but Bryan wasn’t backing down as he isn't ready to believe in any of their cover ups. He looked at John hoping at least he would speak the truth, "Mr. John, I respect you a lot, even now out of that respect only I'm asking you again and again, I need to know, where is Stacy? What happened to her? I don't believe in their words, so at least you speak the truth for me."Bryan almost begged him to tell about Stacy's whereabouts as

    Bryan grabbed Josephine's hand before it could reach his cheek, "I dare you," he provoked her openly and his behavior caught Josephine off guard. She looked at him, being shocked as she couldn't believe he is the same child who once scared to even look into her eyes shivering in fear though he craved for her love all the time but now without any traces of fear he is standing against her, he pushed her hand aside rashly before she could realise what's happening. "Do you think I'll just stand by if you try to slap me?" Bryan challenged her with a mocking tone, "Let me remind you once again I'm not the same Bryan you knew before, I won’t let anyone harm me anymore, not even you, my so-called mother."The room fell silent in disbelief, everyone stunned by Bryan's boldness, except for Ronald, who was already familiar with this side of him. The others who knew Bryan as a docile and obedient child can't help but to be startled by his sudden change in his behaviour as if he is possessed by s

    Bryan glanced at Stacy as she opened her eyes and smiled at him holding his hand, "So, have you stopped hating me?" she asked with a hopeful look towards him.Bryan shouted at her foolish question rather than saying how she is feeling currently, "Are you crazy? You just woke up and this is what you want to talk about? Rather than saying how you're feeling, why are you asking this nonsense stuff?" Stacy smiled again and tried to sit up, Bryan gently helped her. "Are you feeling okay? Do you feel pain anywhere?" "I’m fine, stop looking at me with that face," Stacy replied caressing his face but hissed in pain due to her hand injury, still she managed to ask, "When did you get here, and why am I even here? Who brought me here?" Bryan looked around, trying to avoid the question, "umm, first drink some water," Bryan made her to drink water, but still Stacy didn't give up on her question, "Bryan what exactly you're trying to hide? Who exactly brought me here? How did I end up here?" Brya

    "What the meaning of this?" Bryan felt inwardly, but not wasting anytime, he left the room, and as he was on his way to leave the floor, he was caught by Jake.Without letting him to notice, Bryan hid the piece in his pocket, Jake frowned, "what are you doing here?" "Why should I answer to you?" Bryan crossed his arms, clenching his fist, Jake sighed, "Bryan, don't push your luck too much." Just then Mia who heard the commotion came there, "What's happening here?""Sister," Jake rushed to Mia, but Mia, ignoring Jake went to Bryan, "What happened?"Bryan shrugged his shoulders, "nothing, I was casually walking here, he came and started this commotion." "Jake, aren't you supposed to be in your room? What are you doing here?" Mia sighed, making Jake to shout at her, "Why are you believing him instead of me? You should believe in me, not him." Mia pinched her brows, "Bryan is my brother, ofcourse I'll believe in him over a liar like you, go back to your room before I call grandma, if

    IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE!

    "Grandma?" Bryan said with a small smile getting up from the chair, "I’m just going through these, nothing important, why are you here anyway grandma? Do you want anything?" "No dear," Alicia tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkling with affection, as she looked at Bryan who resembles her late husband, "You’re just like your grandfather, always diving into work. Too much, if you ask me, unlike your father, who is so lazy to work." Bryan chuckled softly, "Working keeps me focused grandma! I don't like being lazy." "I can understand," she walked over close to him and looked around only to the find many records on the table, "You must've been so busy while looking into these, aren't you?" Bryan scratched his head with a forced smile, "Well, you can say that grandma!" "My dear, you shouldn't push yourself more than necessary," Alicia's expression turned serious for a moment. "I don’t know what’s been happening in this house lately, Bryan, but all I want is for you to stay safe,

    SOMETHING CONSPIRACY

    "Why is this mystery never ending?" Bryan sat in his study, surrounded by stacks of old documents and family records. Unaware of what Josephine is plotting behind his back, he is so busy in getting the truth that was buried in the past. The faint glow of the desk lamp made him feel uneasy to stare at the papers, however he is so busy and involved in flipping the pages. He had been checking through the Winterwood archives for hours, determined to find any trace of evidence to support his suspicions regarding the mysteries. As he reached the bottom of an old wooden chest, a red envelope caught his attention. The paper looked too old, the edges were torn, and the handwriting on the front unmistakably belonged to his late grandfather, Edward Winterwood, "grandfather? This handwriting is similiar to grandfather's, I still remember the handwriting of grandfather from my previous life while helping my father, if so why is grandfather's handwritten paper is here?" With a curiosity, he

    BRING AN END TO EVERYTHING

    "Sure, I can," Stacy said and took the file, as she checked the details, apart from very minimalistic nothing else found, "Bryan, if you don't mind, can I ask who is this man? If you don't want to say it's okay." Bryan took a deep breath and said the conversation he had before with officer Hobbes."What the!" Stacy was beyond surprised, "how can this be?" Bryan replied, "I don't know either, but the maid is already dead too, I don't believe our mom is doing all the things alone, I'm sure someone must be helping her," Stacy looked curious, "so, did you figure out anything more about these things?" Bryan sighed, leaning back to the bedframe, "Not yet, but I have a feeling this man from mom's past holds the key to everything. If I can figure out who he is, I might be able to predict her next move, until then I'm not sure of anything because things are different from my previous life at this moment, so I can't take a blind step believing in intuition." Stacy frowned in deep thought. "

    CAN YOU HELP ME FIND A PERSON?

    "These are the files you're supposed to look at and take care of," Josephine sat at her desk in the office, glaring daggers as everyone who was looking down on her, whereas Nancy, had been firm but fair in her leadership. To Josephine, it felt like a constant reminder of her fall from grace. Once the madam of the Winterwood household, but she was now reduced to a subordinate, a reality she bitterly hatred.Just then, her phone buzzed on the desk. It was a text from Bryan, "I think you love your new life, Mrs. Winterwood." Josephine slammed her phone down, with an angry look, "The audacity of that bastard to treat me this way! I don't know what got into him out of a sudden, all these years, I've tamed him perfectly, but he became a fox out of a sudden pulling strings to annoy me." When Nancy walked into the room, holding another set of reports, Josephine couldn’t contain her anger."Just because your father made you a CEO, do you think you're superior to me?" she hissed, with a ton

    SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HER LESSON

    "Mother," Josephine spoke in a low tone, "you know whatever I do, it is for this family, I've been in this house for so long serving as his wife and your daughter-in-law, I built the reputation of this family along with my husband, how can you say this to me when I was also a part of the glory now winterwood family enjoying?"Alicia snapped at her, "glory? You brought nothing but shame, don't forget how you became the daughter-in-law of this family, from that day till now, there's nothing but humiliation and insults surrounding this family." Josephine opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, Bryan finally stepped forward, "Grandma, right now, I don't think it's important for us to discuss the past." Everyone turned to him, with a curious and surprised expression trying to know what he is trying to do, as they're not sure why Bryan is helping Josephine who treats him nothing but as an enemy."Bryan, this is none of your concern," Neil said sharply. "I advise you to stay out

    DOUBLE OUR WEALTH

    "So, are you pitying me?" Bryan asked making Ronald to smile, "not once but thrice, because you'll be one's husband and forever brother to two sisters, I think sister Stacy is also one of them, so not even thrice but four times I pity on you." Bryan rolled his eyes, Mia who glanced at Ronald and Bryan speaking to eachother just frowned, when Ronald looked at her, she immediately turned her face away."Why is she angry with you?" Bryan who observed the fierce reaction of Mia, asked Ronald, but he just lied, "I don't know." At the sametime, Stacy came with a smile, "everything is done, we can go home now." Bryan held Mirabel's hand, "I want to take you home, but this isn't the right time Mira, so...." "Come on prince, did I ever blame you for anything?" Mirabel gently hugged him, "I'll go back to dorm, don't forget to give a call when you reach home." Bryan nodded, she gave a kiss on his forehead, "take medicine well, you need good rest too, don't stress and don't overwork, it's no

Josephine clutched her mobile, "why isn't she answering her call? Don't tell me she and Bryan planned this together? No way....that can't happen, I'm sure this must be a mistake, but how am I supposed to solve it? Should I make her get money from Bryan? After all he loves hi

    WHAT THE HELL!

    'If you ever tarnish this family’s name again," Mr. Wilson continued, with a cold voice, "I will cut you off entirely from this family, no more money, no more support, no more anything. You’ll be on your own, do you understand me?"Tracy nodded slowly, her lower lip trembling. "I understand," she whispered .Her mother folded her arms, her expression still harsh but slightly softened, as after all Tracy is their only daughter whom they loved and cherished a lot."Good, and as for the Winterwoods, we’ll be distancing ourselves from them for a while. After what you’ve done, I don’t want to see or hear their name in this house," those words from her mother left Tracy to be heartbroken.Tracy’s head shot up, panic flashing in her eyes. "No, please! Don’t do that! I—I’ll fix this! I’ll apologize to Bryan, to everyone, and I'm sure Bryan will believe in me, he'll forgive me, I'm the only friend he had, so give me a chance to apologize to Bryan." "It’s too late for that," Mr. Wilson said fi
