Olivia woke up the next morning to find herself in the hospital bed. She felt terrible pain all over her body; the sores under her thighs were unbearable. She looked around and saw her father seething. Before she could open her mouth and ask him how she ended up in the hospital, Albert shoved a newspaper onto her lap.“Can you explain this nonsense to me?” He asked, pointing to the article in the paper.Olivia took the newspaper and saw her nude pictures all over it. Even the pictures of her having sex with some man whose face was not shown were boldly revealed. She trembled. The incident of the previous night gradually resurfaced in her memory. It was around midnight when Nicolas finally came into his private suite. After spending less than forty seconds with Olivia, John left just a few minutes later. John had watched Olivia sleeping in her drunken state. He was disappointed that Olivia could degrade herself to this extent. She even spent some hours waiting for a man whom she barel
Meanwhile, John was busy watering Jeanette’s garden when Albert came in with Andrew. He dropped the hose on the floor immediately after they stepped into the garden. “father-in-law, is anything the matter? Why did you look so angry?” John asked innocently, looking at Albert’s frowning face.“As if you did not know what you and your stupid friends do to Olivia,” Andrew said, moving closer to John. Before now, John would have shivered if Andrew had come close to him, but that was not the case today. He only watches Andrew in fury, recalling the countless times he has beaten him up.“Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Is there anything wrong with Olivia?”“John, why did you decide to humiliate Olivia in such a despicable manner even though she was your wife?” Albert let out in contempt.“I beg your pardon, Father law, what are you talking about? How did I disgrace Olivia?”“Are you not the one that set her up, despite all we have done for you? You still have the mind to do this to Oli
It was the early hours of the morning, and John finished taking his bath. He dressed up and walked to the dining table. Immediately he noticed the empty table, he called out to Olivia in anger. Olivia! Olivia! “Yes, master,” she answered from the kitchen. Within a short time, she ran out of the kitchen and appeared in the dining room with her French maid uniform, which made her look nothing but like a simple maid of Wilde’s family. John made her wear it as part of her punishment. He does not allow her to leave the house without wearing an oversized high school uniform, either.“You called me Master,” she said, bowing her head in submission. After she returned from the hospital, her life has never been the same. The news of what John did to Andrew and Wilde’s company was still fresh in her mind. He made one of his rich friends buy the company. Olivia was left wondering how John could have possibly known that man, but she couldn't seek answers without jeopardizing her existence.Afte
“What are you talking about?” Edina said and looked at Jeanette. She was not buying her lies. Does Jeanette take her as a fool? In Sunview, Edina knows everything. She also knows the updates about every household in Arora. “Come on Jeanette, do you think I don’t know what happened to Andrew? Was it not that your useless son-in-law, that did this to him after humiliating your daughter? How can you still lie to me even though I consider you a loyal friend?” Edina said, looking pitiful. Jeanette felt ashamed and said.“Don’t blame me, Edina, how can I boldly tell you that my useless son-in-law is not only worthless but has also become a wizard”“A wizard? Since when?!” Edina asked in surprise.“Yes, he is into witchcraft. If not, how can you explain what he did to my son? I mean, look at his hand. It now stinks”“Why can’t you call the police?” Edina asked, looking innocently. She heard how John exterminated the police officer, who came to arrest him and also rendered the second officer
“Gladys, where is the VIP candidate?” Austin asked shortly after his feet touched the bottom stairs. He did not spare John a glance, nor wait for her response. Instead, he dashes outside in a hurry in search of the VIP personnel.“I didn’t see any VIPs outside. Are you playing a plank or what?” Austin asked Gladys immediately after he came back to the reception.“That was because you were in a hurry to pay attention. Anyway, Mr. John here is a VIP candidate. Please take him to your office for proper registration. Don’t forget to make his schedule convenient and flexible”Austin looked John up in contempt. He gazed at his grungy clothes and scowled his face. He thought of the old-fashioned car that was packed outside and smiled.“Look, Gladys, I was in the middle of the registration for the wife of the third son of the Forster family when you called, and you know what that means?” If there are no other things you have to say, let me get back to her before she becomes annoyed If there
Ruby chuckled. She knew how rich and influential her husband’s family was, yet she could only register for the silver premium. So how can John pay for the VIP which is the Diamond? She thought. She can’t wait to see how he will be disgraced.John clenched his fists, looked at the small group, and swallowed the lump in his throat.He brought out his credit card from his hip pocket. Gladys quickly held his hand.“Don’t listen to them. You can choose another plan that is not VIP. I'm sure there is something you could afford. She wouldn’t want John to disgrace himself before these people. Austin pushed Gladys away, and she fell on the couch. John quickly rushed Austin. However, two security men held him.“Give me the card,” Austin ordered and quickly snatched the credit card from John. He inserted it into the payment machine on Gladys’s table and waited for a while. Within a short time, the machine blinks red and then a message followed, insufficient balance, payment denied Austin smirke
Jeanette and Edina found vacant seats in the front row of the Donation Center and sat down. Of truth, Jeanette did not want to sit there. Edina was the one who chose that place. She wanted everyone to notice her when she gave her donation. However, Jeanette was not comfortable because most of her friends were in that row. Edina will surely let them know she was the one paying for her donations. In the past, it was Jeanette who paid most of Edina’s bills. That was before John ruined their lives. Jeanette used to put Edina in her place. She only accepted Edina as her friend when her daughter married Kevin and since then Edina felt belonged. But now all that has changed, Edina is the one saying what they would do. Edina and her husband were not that rich before Kevin married their daughter. Edina’s husband came from a wealthy family, but after the death of his grandfather, everything crumbled. Most people did not know the true financial status of the Wright Family. They thought that th
Since Jeanette donated five million, Edina thought she would donate higher so that people would appreciate her even more. She was jolted out of her trance by the microphone that touched her shoulder. She smiled and took the microphone.“I am happy that the community is about to do something worthwhile in the lives of the helpless homeless. I most appreciate the organizers of this program. You guys are wonderful. Without wasting our time, on behalf of myself and my family, the Wright family, the one and the only in-law of the Forster family, I am donating Twenty-five million for this grand project.”There were loud cheers from the audience. So far, Edina was the highest donor and that makes her feel happy. This was the first time in her entire life she was the center of attraction. The cheering lasted for a long while and Edina loved it. Even Jeanette couldn’t help but envy her. What a blessing it is to have a rich son-in-law. But that was never her case. Her son-in-law was nothing but
