Simon left the scene where Gregory was humiliating him. He has no plans on staying theri so they can continue to embarrass him. If he allowed that to happen before, he will not let that happen again now. But before Simon could even get away with the scandalous Gregory Holt, he was quick to grab Simon his arm and pulled him harshly. “Where do you think you’re going? You think you can easily ditch me after insulting me in front of these people?” Holt was scowling at Simon, his jaws were stiff and his eyes were sending daggers towards Simon. Simon looked down on Holt’s hand that was on his arm. He hated the feeling of this man on him. “Get your hands off me.” Simon stared at him with equal danger. He’s not going to let this man embarrass him further in this party. Simon had enough of his childish acts and he will teach Holt the lesson that he needed. But instead of getting intimidated by Simon’s reaction, Holt finds it funny. He thought that Simon was just acting tough. Gregory lau
Mr. Milton was so glad to see Simon among the guests of the charity party that he hosted. He came to Simon and his smile stretched on his face like he saw an angel. “Mr. Morelli! I was so good to see you here!” he exclaimed as he went to Simon’s side. The other guests were looking at them with curiosity in their eyes. They eyed Simon like he was some kind of a new piece of art that’s for exhibit. Simon just stood there without any emotions on his face. He went to this party to confirm whether it’s true that there was an auction of young girls in the basement of the mansion. And since Holt and Steele decided to appear out of nowhere, Simon lost the opportunity to search the area. Plus, hiis identity was about to be exposed since Milton showed up. “What? Who’s that Morelli you are talking about, Mr. Milton?” Gregory interjected. There was a mocking smile plastered on his face, he looked at Simon from head to toe. “He’s Simon Scott, Mr. Milton, a scammer and a con artist. You should
Simon stared at Ashley’s manicured fingers that were wrapped around his arm. He wanted to burst into laughter with all her actions and fake smiles. It was actually her first time to voluntarily touch him without looking disgusted at him. Learning that he’s an heir of a multi-billion dollar company instantly made him look handsome and clean in Ashley’s eyes. “What are you doing?” he asked her, his voice stern , giving her that hint that he doesn’t like what she was doing. Ashley smiled at him, but Simon knew how fake that smile was. He knew Ashley’s real attitude and he’s not gonna be swayed that easily giving him those fake smiles and sweet voice. She pouted, trying hard to look cute in Simon’s eyes, but it only made him cringed knowing how she tried to act just so she can go back to his life and suck his wealth. “I just missed my husband. Why? Am I not allowed to miss you? It’s been months, Simon. I don’t really like Gregory, I was just forced to date him because he told me that
Simon was staring blankly at the news that was played on the television. Just as he expected, he was an instant sensation overnight. He rubbed his temple as headache assaulted his head. This will definitely cause a stir in the company, considering that he was once the husband of Ashley Steele, an heir from a wealthy company. Their marriage has been a secret one and now that it was out in the public he owed them an explanation, specially the board of directors of the company. He opened his tablet and all he could see in the news was his face.“The heir of a multi-billion company used to disguise himself as an ordinary man.” Simon read one of the captions of an article written online. “Damn!” he cursed. Now he doesn’t want to face any of the board members because he’s sure as hell that he will be fried. His phone rang and Simon swiped the screen when he saw that it was Marcus who called. “Marcus,” He heard a whistle from the other line, and Simon rolled his eyes. Marcus was at it
Simon woke up with a deadly headache, he felt like his skull would break in two. His visions were still blurry and the cold tile beneath him made him realize that he was on the same spot when he lost consciousness earlier.Memories came crashing. That woman, Candice, brought food and a bottle of champagne. And the next thing he knew, his head was spinning and he was losing consciousness.“Fuck!” He cursed as she cradled his head. His head was still spinning and he wanted to puke. “That, bitch!” He tried to stand but his body was still weak. He can't believe he was fooled by that woman!He just realized that he was being drugged by his neighbor and who knows what that woman took from his condo. With all his effort, Simon was able to stand. He supported his body by leaning on the kitchen counter. Yes, he was still in the kitchen. As his sight began to recover, he saw the empty glasses of champagne on the sink, it was already washed, of course. That woman wouldn’t want to leave trace
It’s been days since the incident in his condo unit and Simon still couldn’t get over the fact that he was fooled by a woman. He was not just fooled, he was drugged and got stolen into. Giovanni still has no lead about the real identity of that woman. Her records in the condo unit were all fake, her names, age and even her bank accounts didn’t really exist. Simon even doubted that it was her real face, there’a a huge possibility that she wasn’t wearing her real hair and the color of her eyes were fake. That, Simon knew for sure. The press were still hot about him but at least half of those who were camping outside their mansion were gone. Though some were hard-headed and continued to camp outside even though the police had intervened. Simon decided to return to the mansion for the time being to keep an eye on his father and so he can monitor his health. A knock on the door brought Simon back from his reverie. Federico entered the study room after the knock. Simon set a straight
Simon received the address that was sent to him by Giovanni. He wasted no time, he immediately drove his car, the one he just purchased recently, his Lamborghini car. Elton, his newly hired driver and bodyguard wanted to go with him but Simon refused. He wanted to go there alone. “Mt. Giovanni will sever my head if I let you go alone, Mr. Morelli. He made it clear not to let you go without a companion. Elton was an ex-military who was assigned in Pakistan and got dismissed. Giovanni chose the guy among all who applied because of his combat skills and background about guns and man to man fight. He has a clean background Simon agreed when Giov and Marcus insisted on giving him a personal bodyguard. Simon could clearly manage to protect himself but the two don't want to take chances. “Just tell him I have a date and I don’t like being followed.” Simon pulled his coat, an ordinary coat with a cheap brand, and wore it. He had two guns tucked in his shoulder holster. Elton scratched h
The building smells awful. The moment Simon entered the threshold, he was greeted by the smell of stale tobacco mixed with the strong odor of urine. He almost puked when the smell assaulted his nose without permission. “Damn!” he cursed. He also lived in a dilapidated building like this before but the smell here was way worse. A loud music was blaring, it was still early in the morning but the neighborhood didn't care about the noise, they could disturbed the other tenants. Shaking his head, Simon made his way to the second floor. The smell just keeps getting worse with every step that he makes. Simon saw a couple having sex in one corner of the second floor. He passed them but the two didn't care that he witnessed their nasty acts. The woman with smudge lipstick and mascara even winked at him and invited him to join the two. Simon was not new to those kinds of scenes. His father used to take him to strip clubs when he was still a teenager. He wanted him to see how dirty the worl
