Ambrose took a step backwards and stared at Damon. Her mind went haywire and her feet trembled“Dude, what is wrong with you? It will be difficult to break off all ties with that leech now that you've announced your engagement with her to the public. What did you do that for? Listen here, I will never accept that leech as my best friend-in-law. Never! Hold on, don't tell me you did this because you want to be with her. That's ridiculous, I can't-” Brandon swallowed the rest of his words and shuddered when he noticed Damon's death glare on him His brain lagged for a moment before he turned around and gave the two some privacy A tear slid down Ambrose's eyes as she asked with a trembling voice “Is this true?”Her eyes were already red and swollen from all the crying “Yes, but listen to me first” Damon reached to touch her hand but she took a step backwards to avoid his touch “What do you have to say? You'll tell me to continue trusting you? Is this all a joke to you? Am I a joke to
Ambrose ate the entire food in the first plate and couldn't go any further. She rubbed her belly and said to Brandon “I'm full, you can take the rest”Brandon smiled. He pulled a chair closer to them, took a plate and dug in. As he ate, he said “I'm curious. When did the two of you start? How did you progress so quickly?” He turned to Damon “How did you get Pretty girl to fall for you so quickly?”“To be quite honest, I'm not too sure myself” Damon asked Ambrose “When did you first realise your feelings for me?”“I've never thought of it” She pinched her chin and thought for a few seconds before she continued “The first time I realised my feelings for you was probably the first day you left for the city”Damon smiled and asked “That quickly?”She nodded and added “Although I'm sure the feelings have been there for so long, I only realised it when we were apart”“Apart, how? Someone, tell me something! This suspense is killing me” Brandon dragged the skin on his face and said The thre
“Yes, he takes after his beautiful mother” Mrs Moore lightly pinched Brandon's cheek and smiled Mrs Hill laughed and said “Of course, Mrs Moore is beautiful as well”Brandon lifted his lips in disdain as he watched Mrs Moore’s laugh awkwardly “Brandon, Sandra here has been your fan for a very long time. She's obsessed with your last movie, Spares and Sparrows and has posters of you all around her room” Mrs Hill said to Brandon “That's cringe” Brandon lifted one of his brows and said without thinking much about it Mrs Moore pinched his stomach and tried to put another meaning to what he said “ What he mean is that he feels honoured”“ Yes, yes “Mrs Hill nudged Sandra and said “ Go on, introduce yourself to him”Brandon glanced at the girl who was shyly fiddling with the edge of her shirt as her eyelashes flapped continuously “H-hello, Mr Brandon. I'm Sandra and I admire your works. It's a pleasure seeing you today” She lifted her face and turned to face Brandon Brandon didn't hav
Ella lifted her left hand and wiggled her fingers at them. “This is made from one of the rarest golds in the world. It's one of a kind and there's only three of this ring in the world. You can't get it in the market” Ella would never miss a chance to lift herself up and paint the picture as though Damon really loved her She loved to make people jealous. If only her friends knew, Damon got the ring from a small kiosk seller for less than fifty dollars “Really?” Kenzie looked keenly at him and stretched her hand to touch it, but Ella slapped her hands away “It looks like something my boyfriend in grade 5 got me back then” Kenzie rested her back on the marble wall of the swimming pool Ella scornfully looked at her “You know nothing! Nathan got me this ring with nothing less than five million dollars!”“Okay, I believe you” Kenzie was confused by her anger, so she leaned back and decided not to press the matter“Kenzie, do you know how wealthy Mr Nathan is? I'm sure that ring is over
“Growing up, I've heard my father mention this name a few times. My father should be able to help in locating him”Kelvin said. The earlier fright they felt had died down. They had now emerged into work mode “My father should be able to help as well. From the little I know, after master and madam passed away, Orlando packed all his things from his house and moved far away” Lucas added “Good, you have a lead. Start on it immediately. About my parents’ car incident, have you found out anything more?” Damon asked “Not yet, sir”He headed up into his room and said as he went up “I give you guys a week to search for Orlando. Don't you dare fail this”They both nodded and went into their quarters. In Margaret's room, she was on a phone call with Jeremy “I miss you” Jeremy said over the phone “I miss you as well. Why don't you want anyone to know we're married? Aren't you proud of me?” Margaret asked with a low voice. She felt caged with so many things in her that she was dying to shar
Damon, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately got alerted. His heart beat faster as he tried not to panic “There was nothing wrong with the car earlier today, was there?”“No sir. It was perfectly fine. Why is the brake suddenly not working?” The driver was immediately thrown into a state of panic. His hands turned jelly as he drove havarzadly on the road “Calm down and focus on what you're doing. Just keep driving” Damon told the driver “Maybe God knows I was going to die. That was why he found a way for me to go home and see my family for the last time. I guess this is my fate. I never imagined this to be the way I die and leave this earth, this is too much of a trauma” The driver yapped “Shut up and focus”Damon said sharply to him. He picked up his phone and was about to make a phone call when a call from Kelvin came in “Boss, is something wrong? Your car isn't moving properly” Kelvin said “The brakes are failing” Damon replied “What? How's that possible? The brakes we
A nurse immediately took a gurney from the side and another nurse ran to Damon and put him on the gurney The doctor went with the nurses into a room and closed the door “If anything happens to boss, we'll be dead. Eldest master will kill us” Kelvin said with creased brows as he paced up and down “Bet! Nothing must happen to him. Or else, our lives will be cut short. Damn it! Who is that bastard that tampered with the brakes?” Lucas stood in front of the door and said “Should we call Eldest master and tell him? He must be informed” Stephen's brows drew into folds “What? Do you want us to die?” Kelvin glared at him and sat on the waiting chair as he said “I wouldn't be worried if you were the one with boss’s injuries. Tsk”“What do you mean?? I'm terribly injured as well” Stephen morphed his face and replied “Go and treat your injuries” Lucas folded his arms across his chest and said to Stephen who nodded and went to meet a nurse A few minutes later, the door opened and the docto
“Eldest master, be careful. You'll wake him up” Margaret said The wrinkle on Damon's face smoothened as he fell back into sleep “We'll discuss this later” Oliver then pulled a chair and sat on it. Ella and her mother pushed the door open and rushed into the room “Grandfather, is the news true? Is Nathan's health in critical condition? I heard he's barely holding on to his life” Ella said as she let her tears flow freely from her eyes Oliver got up from the chair and patted his chest “Who is it that dares to spread such fake news about my grandson? Who is it that wishes death on my grandson? I'll strangle that person to death! ““Eldest master, take it easy. Please be wary of your health” Margaret said cautiouslyElla stood by the hospital bed and refrained herself from touching him. She wailed loudly and said in between sobs “My poor fiancée”“Why do I feel like her tears are fake? Sheesh, my ears hurt from listening to that horrible sound?” Lucas moved closer to Kelvin and said
“Reynold Smith? Isn't that Ella's biological father? Who knew he had so much love for his daughter that he can anchor all her crimes. Tsk” Orlando adjusted the shades on his face as he walked next to Damon Damon's face was still. He has accepted his fate. He knew that soon enough, his secret will be out Before that happens, he needs to make sure that Ambrose is safe. He needed to be rest assured that Oliver will be in good health If that happens, he will spend his life in jail in peace, knowing he's laid a path for the ones he care about He pulled a few strings to get some producers and entertainment firms to pay attention to Ambrose. He was confident in her skills and was sure that those firms would try to poach her soon. Even when he's in jail, Ambrose wouldn't have any issue with money “I wasn't aware that he's in the city. His presence here will cause Mrs Evans a lot of headache. That's not my problem anyway. What do you plan to do now, Nathan?”Orlando said “Get a doctor to
At the police station, Ella was placed back in her cell with cuffs in her hand. She was looking down at the floor with her back rested against the wallMr and Mrs Evans dashed into the station and ran to Ella. Earlier, the policemen found her inside the well, took her back to the station and called her parents to inform them Tom, on the other hand, was in hiding. He attempted to fly out of the country but since the borders were closed, he couldn't. So, he went into hiding. The police already termed him wanted “What were you thinking?! I'll never expect this from you in a million years. Do you know how much damage you caused? Look here and answer my questions!” Mr Evas gripped the cell’s gate and glared at her“Honey, calm down. Can't you see how injured she is? At least, show some sympathy”Mrs Evans turned to Ella “Darling, raise your head and look at mummy. What happened? I won't believe all that was said about you until I hear from you. Tell me, what happened!”“It's you that has
Ella tried to push him off but a lady's strength can't compare to a man's strength. Tom mercilessly ravaged on her body, without a care of the situation of things After he was done, he left Ella's naked body on the floor and put his trouser back on. He glanced at her on the floor and said “Now, the deal is over”“You'll regret this, you fool”With pain soaring over her body, she managed to push herself to the corner of the van She wanted Damon and only Damon to have her body. She kept herself all these while for him. Even though she wanted to get back at Damon for putting her in jail, she still didn't want any man to touch her She glared at Tom with hatred bursting through her lungs as she picked up her torn clothes on the floor and tried to cover herself with it Tom didn't pay any attention to her, he picked up his phone and was about to make a call to some of his men when the van stopped Ella became alert. She tried to fasten up the process of wearing her dress but she wasn't fas
Ambrose took a huge gulp as her eyes darted round the corners of the room. Her lips spread into an awkward smile. When she glanced back at her mother, her mother was still looking at her with expectations of answers to her question Ambrose dropped her smile and her shoulders. She heaved a heavy sigh. She had no choice but to tell her mother everything Besides, she's always been a bad liar. And if there's anybody that can easily detect when she isn't telling the truth, it'd be her mother “First, promise to stay calm, okay?”“I won't promise that. I can't stay calm. In fact, as we speak, I'm not calm”“Promise you won't get mad?”“Tell me the truth first”“Okay” Ambrose closed her eyes and opened them “Damon isn't actually Auntie Paula's son. He's actually the grandson of a powerful family” Ambrose couldn't possibly tell her mother the real truth. It would be dangerous for more than two people to walk around with the knowledge of what Damon is really doing. She had to fabricate a li
Ambrose went to set that day, but found out that the movie production was on hold and would probably get cancelled soon. They haven't been able to peacefully shoot for three days streak without a problem arising Just the previous day, Ambrose went missing with no one's knowledge of how it happened. The next day, she returned to set as though nothing happened The recent incident was Ella's arrest and the news shocked everyone. They were even more shocked at the cause of her arrest No matter how much Mr Evans and his wife tried to bury the news and keep it a secret from the world, the news still seeped outCould Ella really be behind Ambrose's disappearance the previous day? Everyone was aware of the bad blood between Ambrose and Ella. But didn't Ella have bad blood with everyone? Carl and Lora were exceptionally happy when they got the news of her arrest and they even went as far as celebrating over a bottle of alcoholAlthough Carl was sad that the movie was on hold, he wouldn't
Mr Evans pulled his brows together and went to the man. He tapped his shoulder When the man turned back, Mr Evans’s brows creased further. Reynold was putting on a cap and a mask which concealed his face Before Mr Evans could say anything, Mrs Evans called out to him “Darling, come over here. Let's ask about how we can get our daughter out of her”She deliberately called Ella their daughter just to assure him that he was her father and whoever came earlier wasn't real. And also, to divert his attention so Reynold could go away Mr Evans looked back at his wife. When he turned back to the man, he was no longer there. He took rapid steps forward and looked left and right, but he didn't see him anymore He returned to the station and said to the policeman “I'm her father. Listen, my daughter was accused of the crime. She's innocent. Surely, for this fact, there should be a bail for her”“Listen here, the man that filed for her arrest is ready to push this matter until she's jailed under
Meanwhile, the previous day, Mrs Evans didn't plan to stay over at the hotel with Reynold. However, when she stood up to leave, Reynold yanked her back onto the bed and pinned her down. He locked the door and didn't allow her to leave He said he wanted to spend more time with his wife. Mrs Evans had no choice but to stay, he's her husband anyway Besides, she would just cook up an excuse to Mr Evans. He trusted her blindly and she was confident that he would believe her When she got a call from him, Reynold’s arms were tightly wrapped around her waist with his head on her chest. He heard everything Mr Evans said and immediately got off the bed “Ella has been arrested?” He asked as he watched Mrs Evans move around in panic to get her things and leave “Yes, you heard what he said. I need to go to see things for myself and get her out of there”Mrs Evans said as she put on her bra and her clothes Reynold got down from the bed and began to get dressed as well “What are you doing?” M
“What?! Get your hands off me! Why am I being arrested? I have done nothing wrong!”Ella yelled as she struggled with the policemen. She tried to wiggle her wrists out of the cuffs, but they were to no avail “You're a suspect for the mastermind behind the kidnapping and attempted rape of Ambrose Kinn. I suggest you cooperate with us and come to the police station” With a hostile face, one of the police men said Ella wasn't having any of it.”Suspect? Mastermind?! I didn't do any of those! I'm innocent. I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go! How dare you handcuff me like a criminal without any proof, this is against the law!” Ella kept sprouting words. How could she, a pampered princess, step into a station. Her dignity would be crushed! She was more scared that she would be exposed. Besides, she was truly guilty of all that they said. But, how did they find out? Did that bastard, Tom, blow her cover? She had been on the edge of her seat since morning, trying to call Tom,
Damon's heart wildly hit against its cage. Is this the end? If he was to run away, where would he go? After all, there's a possibility that he isn't the real Damon. And Ambrose? He didn't want to taint her by allowing her to be with someone that has a bad reputation At that point, he wished he didn't accept Mrs Evans’s offer. He wished he layed low and continue to live his life as before. Then, he would not have had to face everything he was going through. He wouldn't have burdened himself about the awful truth of his past Damon's heart clenched. What should he do? Where should he go? Everything was crumbling It took him a lot of strength to stuff his tears back in. His trembling hands scrolled down the page to see the “evidence” they mentioned To his greatest shock, there were photos of a casket and an old photo of Damon walking along the streets. Damon tapped on the screen and zoomed in on it. They weren't evidences! They were bullshit! All those things didn't prove anything.
