Marco stared at Enzo for a while as if trying to process his words. Enzo recognized that look; it was one he gave whenever he deliberated seriously on something.“I am just an investor,” Marco said as Enzo scoffed immediately. “Like hell, I would believe that. There’s something about that company, and I’m sure you know it. Don’t lie to me.”“And what makes you think you can barge into my house and ask me questions, Enzo?” Marco asked suddenly, a shocked expression spreading across Enzo’s face.“Barge? I don’t understand, Marco. We are-““Yes! We were close as brothers in the past. You’ve helped me so much, and I appreciate it. But you messed up, Enzo. Playing with Lucian? He was your benefactor. Why do you want to turn against him now?” Marco asked softly.Enzo's stomach churned at Marco's words. He was truly alone now. “You don’t know anything, Marco.” Enzo shook his head as he watched Marco.“You don’t know who you’re dealing with. One day, he will turn against you like he did to me
"No one has asked to buy Kings Distributions," Marcello said slowly while watching his boss's expression, scared to anger him because he has been quite sensitive to any matter concerning Kings Distributions. Lucian chuckled as he rubbed his chin without sparing Marcello a glance. After he had left the meeting with Damian, he had asked to see Marcello to discuss issues regarding Kings Distributions. But now, he couldn't help but think about Damian's offer. It now dawned on him how cunning Damian had become. To think, he tried to play with him."Boss," Marcello started again."Boss," he tried once more."Kings Air and Shipping," Lucian said suddenly, snapping out of his thoughts and turning his gaze to Marcello."How is the revenue these days?" Lucian asked with a serious look."That—" Marcello hesitated as he scratched his head."Go on. Tell me," Lucian said, resting back in the chair, his gaze fixed on Marcello, prompting him to continue. "We get half of our usual revenue," Marcello f
"Mr. Santoro," Arya gasped in surprise, wide-eyed as she stared at Damian, whose eyes were fixed on Ravenna. Ravenna didn't move, shock evident on her face."I was looking everywhere for you," Damian removed his hand from her shoulder and brushed strands of hair away from her face, gazing at her lovingly."What the—" Ravenna tried to say something, but Damian beat her to it."Are you going to scold me for finding you too late?" He pouted, and Ravenna's eyes widened even more. What the hell is Damian doing?"Are—Are you two dating?" Arya couldn't help but ask, staring at them in shock.Damian turned to look at her. "Us?" He asked with a surprised look, as if it were no news. "Well, not yet. You see, I've been trying to woo Ravenna, and she has been so stubborn," Damian said with a smile, glancing from one girl to another, noting their expressions.He took Ravenna's hand, turned to look at her, and then back at them. "Are you her friends?" He asked with a smile as Bella nodded, because
"Young master!" Roberto exclaimed in agony, frustrated by Damian's silence."Could you help me get Mrs. Marie to send a cup of coffee to my study, please?" Damian turned his gaze to Elena, who stared at him in shock. She looked from Damian to a frustrated Roberto as they both watched him stand up and walk away without sparing either of them a glance."The world doesn't revolve around you, Mr. Santoro!" Roberto shouted after him, trying to provoke a response, but it was futile."What the hell is he thinking?" Roberto turned to Elena in frustration.She shook her head, walked over to Roberto, and patted him on his back. "We'll be fine," she smiled and walked away."Even you too!" he shouted in utter confusion as he watched her leave. "No one takes me seriously anymore," he muttered and cupped his face.Meanwhile, Elena took it upon herself to make coffee for Damian and send it to his study. When he gave her permission to come in after she knocked, Elena saw him standing by the window, a
Lucian clapped his hands continuously as Ravenna walked through the door the next day after their talk. "You've outdone yourself, Ravenna!" He laughed out loud as his daughter, with a smirk on her face, walked towards her father, who had his hands opened for her to come into his embrace."You look quite happy, Daddy. Happy with the result of my plan?" She smiled as she freed herself and walked over to the seat opposite Lucian's and sat down."Why wouldn't I? I have such a beautiful and intelligent daughter." He laughed out loud again as Ravenna returned the smile."Let's see how Damian will tackle this," Lucian muttered with a wide smile."With me pregnant with his child all over the net? I'm not sure," Ravenna smacked her lips and crossed her legs."He must have been shocked." Ravenna looked up to her dad."Yeah, he would. Apart from that, people are rushing over to buy Kings Distributions since morning. We have been receiving countless calls; Kings Group stocks skyrocketed in a few
"We're here, Mr. Santoro," the driver said when he pulled up in front of the King's Mansion. Damian felt his sweaty palm as he found it hard to turn to his side to look at Ravenna, who sat quietly beside him."I—" When Damian was about to speak, Ravenna opened the door and got off quickly. Damian sighed as he got off too and rushed towards her before she opened the door."Ravenna," he called coolly as she swung around to meet his gaze."What is it?" She asked impatiently. She had been unusually quiet after the test results came out at the hospital. So was he; what was he supposed to say?He was so sure that his ex-wife, who had cheated on him, was lying, but then it turned out to be true."Is it mine or Carlos'?" Damian asked, still holding her arms."Do the bloody calculation yourself." She freed her hand and stomped away quickly."Damn it!" Damian hit his leg on the tire of the limousine as he shuddered with anger. How could this be happening? In quick strides, he walked into the li
"What?" Ravenna asked, almost in a whisper. "I-""I didn't say that for you to argue, Ravenna," Lucian turned away from her, unable to look her in the eyes, as he noticed the pain in her expression."It is also my child! You can't do this!" She spat angrily at him."And also that bastard's!" Lucian swung around to face Ravenna, who scoffed. "I don't care what you say, Daddy. I am having this baby," she declared with determination."Wow," Lucian smiled. "Is this the plan, yeah? To use this baby to get back with him, ugh? You slept with him secretly while pretending to be on my side?" Lucian asked."What? No!" Ravenna refuted immediately."Then why did you make all those fusses, saying you're pregnant? Is playing with me fun?" Lucian asked."I didn't even know I was pregnant! It was a cryptic pregnancy! Why are you pointing fingers at me when I am innocent?" Ravenna challenged. Lucian watched her for a while, unsure of what to say next."I don't want to have anything to do with Damian.
"You now sound like a lunatic," Damian seethed at him as Lucian laughed out loud."Damian, Damian, Damian, you must be a fool to think I would let you leave with my grandchild just like that," Lucian said as Ravenna raised her head to look at him quickly. What did she just hear? His grandchild? As of when?"What do you mean?" Damian had a smile on his face as it seemed it was his way of calming his growing anger towards Lucian."The child can be yours and cannot be yours; it all depends on you, Damian," Lucian said with a straight face as Damian's brow creased in confusion. It then straightened when he realized what Lucian was pushing at."You want to make a deal with me on my own child?" Damian asked with incredulous laughter."Bingo!" Lucian shouted happily. "You know what I like about Domenico Santoro is the fact that he is quite smart, you see."Damian scoffed as he watched him in disbelief. "Are you that desperate?" He asked as Lucian watched him with a smirk. "Do you even realiz
