Before Baron could get down from the car, Ambrose slammed the door shut and hurried to go inside the house However, Baron moved swiftly enough to catch up to her. His usually radiant face was now filled with gloom. His beards had grown beyond its usual level. He looked like a shadow of his former self Nobody knew about this, but for the past weeks, Baron had been facing immense pressure from his father He thought it was an easy task to run a company, how wrong he was! It was real loads on his shoulders, so many sleepless nights and sacrificesHe barely had time for himself. All he did was bury his head in work. Since his company wasn't as high end as Snyder's corporation, he didn't have as much people to share the work with. So, he had to cater for some things himselfWork was boring and hectic. He badly missed the times he wasted his time away in the club and hanging out with friends doing completely useless things. Earlier that day, he gave up, dropped all he had on his hands an
“Mum, what are you doing here? You didn't say you were coming. Honestly, this is a huge surprise” Ambrose tried to avert her mother's thoughts from Baron. She knew her mother well, she got worried easily. And if she told her that Baron once tried to forcefully get close to her, she might drag her back to Dallen Haves “Don't cover up my question. Who's that man?” Her mother asked again Ambrose took a deep breath and replied “That's Baron. He said he likes me, but I don't feel the same for him. He has been pestering me for a long time” Ambrose replied. She didn't lie, sort of. She just fabricated a bit of the truth Her mother stared at her for a few seconds before she looked away and replied “Stay away from that man. If possible, get another apartment, so he wouldn't know where you live. I don't want him anywhere around you”Ambrose rushed to her and hugged her tightly “Alright, mother. I missed you soo much. I haven't seen and touched you in three years”A smile broke on her mother's
She couldn't let it slide just like that. She was sure Ambrose knew from the start that the package was for her, but she didn't step forward to receive it because she wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone Yes, that must be it! "You'll pay!" Meanwhile in Damon's office, Oliver walked around the office, reminiscing about the past years when he still visited the office as often. While Damon engrossed himself in his work. Attending to several issues at once. Orlando clasped his hands behind his back and stood behind Damon as he worked “Nathan, about breaking off the marriage agreement between you and Ella, it has to be discussed with Ella's family. It's better if it's done as soon as possible. Things like this shouldn't be left dragging for too long” After Oliver was done walking around the office, he went back to the sofa“ I already spoke to her mother”Damon replied “Really? When was that? What did she say about it?” Oliver asked Damon thought for three seconds before he
Damon's eyeballs moved as he tried to make sense of what he heard. He came after that boy died. Did that boy die before his mother gave birth to him? “How old should the boy be now, if he were alive?”Damon asked “24 years”“The same age as me. What do you mean I came after he died?” Damon asked Carter closed his eyes and shook his head “Kid, trust me. It's better if you don't know these things. Just keep living your life and pretend you didn't come across that picture”“I won't hesitate to slash your ears off if you don't answer me” Damon's voice was laid with dangerCarter heaved a deep sigh before he said “ Paula is not your biological mother”Gbam!!! Damon felt as though a roofing of glass just shattered on his head. His grip on the knife loosened and the knife fell to the floor Seeing that Damon was discombobulated, Carter pushed him off him and ran away. Damon didn't have the energy to go after him. He sat on the floor with a heart weighing heavy His mother wasn't his biolo
Tom picked the picture and gazed at it. It was a photo of Ambrose in her college. She was smiling and talking to a felllow student “What has such a gorgeous girl done to offend you, princess?” Tom finally asked “That's none of your business. Will you help me with this?”Tom smiled and tapped his shoe on the floor. He twirled the photo in his hand with his eyes lingering on Ella's face “I need more clarity. What exactly do you want me to do to her?”“That's completely up to you. Just make sure she doesn't recover from it for a long time”“Where does she stay?”Ella told Tom all she knew about Ambrose. Where she lived, schooled and where she worksElla knew Tom would help her to do anything she asks for. He has been on her tail for so long, since they were teenagers, wooing her and trying to be in a relationship with her While Damon was away, Ella's mind didn't really drift to having any relationship. She liked her solo life. So long she had money and could look down on others, she w
Margaret pursed her lips together and lowered her eyelashes. She laid back on his chest and asked “I don't understand why you did that, still. But, I trust you”Jeremy's shoulders stiffened when he heard Margaret's latter sentence. Trust? If she knew all the things he had done, would she still trust him? “Father is a good person. And Nathan, he's a good kid. You have a wonderful family. Even master and madam were wonderful people, life is just an irony for letting good people die so quickly” She said Jeremy's entire body felt like rock. His body stiffened. He couldn't move a muscle, even his heartbeat seemed to have reduced its pace He has never really thought of the possibility of Margaret finding out about the things he has done. It doesn't matter anyway, if she finds out, she'd have no choice than to take his side. They're married, he should be her first priority Besides, Jeremy was sure she wouldn't find out. In fact, he was sure nobody would Soon, he'll send Damon to where
“Why are you interested in my matter?” Carter rubbed swallowed the boule of turkey without chewing and raised a brow at Jeremy “Did that kid send you here?”Carter gulped down a glass of water and stood up from the chair “Are you in cohorts with him?”He lifted his legs and wanted to run out the door but Jeremy's words stopped him “Do I look like someone that takes order from anyone?”Carter looked down at Jeremy's shoes. Its shine and quality looked like it had more worth than Carter's entire being It's true. He looked like a wealthy man. Probably even more than Damon. What reason would he have to listen to Damon. Besides, Carter was sure he had never seen Jeremy, so it's impossible for Jeremy to harbour any vengeful intent towards him He returned to his seat and continued from where he was and dug into the leftovers on the table “Do you know who his biological parents are? I mean, that boy that was chasing you” Jeremy asked “I have no clue. How do you want to help me? You see, I
“Alright, mother” Damon responded. Ambrose's mother handed the phone back to Ambrose “Uhm… I-I'll see you tomorrow then” Since Ambrose's mother was unaware of her relationship with Damon, Ambrose didn't know how to talk to Damon in presence of her mother “Mhm. Don't be nervous” As though Damon was able to sense that Ambrose was restless, he tried to calm her “Yes. Good night”The call ended Immediately the call dropped, Brandon's call entered Damon had no intention of picking up. A lot was roaming through his mind and the last thing he wanted was someone to cause him more headache. But, Brandon was persistent. He kept calling. Damon ruffled his hair and connected the call “Nathan! I've got big news for you. But it's not a good one though” Brandon's voice loudly rang through the phone's speaker “Leave it to tomorrow morning”Damon replied “This can't wait. It's about that girl you like, Ambrose”“What happened?”“Earlier today at the set, Ella almost ripped Ambrose's hair off i
“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.
