“She had done nothing wrong to you. Why did you do this?” Damon balled his fists “I give you two days to announce to everyone that Ella is your fiancée. After you've done that, I'll let her go” Mrs Evans stood up and went to the mannequin next to her table “Alright, I'll do that. Let her go now” Damon responded “I'm not a fool, Damon. If I release her now, you wouldn't do as you're told. After you've announced your relationship with Ella to the world, I'll let her go” Mrs Evans raised a finger up “One more thing, don't try to act funny. I took her deep into a place you'll never find her, so if you waste your time by looking for her, you'll only extend her suffering”She shook a pin into the mannequin “If she stays there for too long, I can't guarantee that the men there wouldn't be tempted to play with her” Damon lost control of his anger and raised his fist at Mrs Evans. However, he stopped midway when he heard a familiar voice coming from Mrs Evans’s phone He grabbed the phone

Blessings!”“I've been following Andrella since she was little and I've always known she was destined for greatness. A few months ago, she received an award. Now, she's getting married to Nathan. Ride on sis”“This is too much of a news for this hot afternoon. I almost lost my footing when I saw this”“Why is no one talking about how ground shaking the wedding will be? Oh, what a time to be alive”“I don't understand what you guys are yapping abou
Brandon opened the car and immediately got down He seized Ambrose up with furrowed brows Since the movie shoot got cancelled, he went outside the city to settle a few things with the clothing brand he wanted to model for. He concluded things early and wanted to return to city BHe hadn't even heard about the announcement of Damon and Ella's engagement “Get in the car” Brandon went to the other side of the car and opened the door for Ambrose. Ambrose obediently entered the car and set her seat beltBrandon entered and started the car. As he drove, he said “Do you need me to take you to a hospital first?”“No, take me home please”Ambrose replied as she rested her head on the headrest of his chair and looked outside the window. The car fell into silence as Brandon drived closer to the city. He couldn't contain his worry as he asked “Who did this to you? If you don't want to go to a hospital, I can take you to a police station instead. Whoever did this shouldn't go without facing the
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
