"Sonia, calm down. Please, be calm," Alex said, trying to coax Sonia.

As soon as they left Carina's office, Sonia was feeling infuriated. She was trying hard not to burst out in anger, but she had had it up to her neck.

"Calm down? Why should I? We are only trying to help her, and that's how she could thank us? By insulting us? That's unfair!" She ranted, folding her arms over her breast.

Though Alex didn't expect Carina to accept it easily, he also didn't think she would lash out on them like that.

"I know, but you need to calm down, please. She is just blindly led. She is blind in love. I know her words were mean, try to understand. Let her be, okay? I just hope she doesn't realize it when it is already too late," Alex said, calmly.

Sonia sighed, she understood what Alex was trying to say. Carina was only blinded by love. She was too blinded that she did not see Nathan's true colors unfolding.

"I understand, love. I'm just too upset that she said those things to us. Didn't she see h

    After the call, Carina prepared herself for the dinner night. She took out a maroon evening gown that Fiona had bought for her some time ago.Looking at the gown, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt for saying those harsh words to her.However, she let go of the thoughts, and began to dress up.She was not the makeup girl, so the little makeup she did was to put a lipgloss, and use an eyeliner.She brushed her hair, and let it fall on her shoulder, cascading over the dress she wore.She looked simple, but beautiful as well. If it weren't for Andrea's invitation, or if her boss was not attending, she would have came up with an excuse, not to attend.Her mood was already foul, and it was because of her sister, Sonia, and Alex. She was not ready to see Alex, but she had to endure it.She picked up a silver handbag, and hung it on her shoulder. The long sleeved maroon dress had a slit up to her knee, and had a few crystalized beads adorned around the neck.Jayden had arrived home earlier

    Alex and Andrea stared at each other, aware that Jayden was angry. They needed to calm him down, before his anger engulf the whole place, sending cold shivers on everyone's body."Hey, man. Chill, okay?" Alex said, putting a hand, slowly on his shoulder.Jayden realized that his anger was evident in his eyes, so he blinked a couple of times, and nodded slightly."I…" he hesitated, "I'm sorry, Andrea."He agreed within himself, that he had jumped into conclusion, or maybe he acted that way because Andrea had kept the secret of being his cousin, away from him.Whichever it was, he still wasn't right to rush in conclusion.The only thing Andrea wanted was to settle everything with Jayden, so they could be like they were, before.Alex, too. He just wanted everything to be right between the two cousins. Overall, what they both wanted was for Jayden to find love, again."It's okay. I understand why you acted that way, I would do same. I am sorry, too, for not telling you the truth. Don't b

    Jayden stood there, unmoved. Hearing her call Nathan's name made his heart ache. He somehow wished it was his name she called.Knowing what Nathan did to the company, and hearing Carina mention his name, he was infuriated. He looked down on the drunk lady in his arms, and felt like leaving her there, but he couldn't. If not for anything else, but for the sake of Andrea, who invited her."Is something wrong?" Alex stepped out of the car, and asked. Jayden did not reply, he carefully put the woman inside, then entered the car, and closed the door."Are you taking her home or to the mansion?" Alex asked, trying to tease Jayden."Are you crazy? Take her home!" He said, and threw his head backwards.The ride was smooth, Alex was quietly focusing on the road.Jayden casted a look on Carina, whose head was tilted to the left, facing him.She looked peaceful, and calm. Like an earthly Angel."Go call her sister to take her in, or you might as well do that," he said, and Alex strode towards

    She recalled what happened last night, when she muttered Nathan's name. Could it be that the boss was angry? But what did he mean, when he said maybe Nathan was someone else's purse?Could this mean that they were all right, and she was led falsely? She was getting more and more confused. Things were beginning to seem complicated.They were all saying the same thing—Mabelle, Alex, Sonia, Fiona, and even.. Jayden, her boss, who had no business with people's affair.What did they all know, that she didn't know?Again, why would they fire Nathan? What did he do wrong? She sat slowly on her chair, supporting her head with her hand, she came to a conclusion that she would pay Nathan a surprise visit.Jayden went back home to meet his father, as the old man had phoned him again."What happened up there? I heard voices," Jayden asked, and Alex slowed down a bit."Nothing really. Just that Carina doesn't want to see that Nathan is not the right man for her. He is a cheat with a syndrome, a

    The sitting room suddenly became quiet. As silent as a graveyard, one could hear, even the littlest sound. It seemed like everything stood still, and time, for a minute or two, stopped.Jayden froze.This was the last thing he ever thought his father would say. Just because he refused to marry, his father was chasing him out of the house? Lukas had arrived in time to hear Fernando's proclamation. He stood affixed at the door, surprised too.Even the butler, who was busy setting the dining table for lunch, felt the intensity of the issue.He could not look at their direction, for fear that the thick air of shock and anger would suffocate him."Fernando, I hope you are joking?" Lukas broke the silence, and Mr. Thomas, the butler let out a long sigh.It seemed like he had been holding his breath for a while, and now that Lukas had broken the ominous silence, he felt relieved, like he could actually breathe fresh air.Jayden now saw his uncle at the door. He shook his head in what seem

    Carina thought of confronting Nathan, later in the day. How come everyone was saying the same thing about him, and she, as his girlfriend, had no idea?It seemed like Jayden's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back, as she began to contemplate as to who was telling the truth, and who was lying.She kept glancing at her wrist watch, hoping that the time ran faster. She just wanted to get this done.Soon, it was 5pm, and she headed back home. She didn't go with Fiona, because she had things to do in the office.Fiona came back home around 7pm, and rushed to the room to use the toilet, before showering up. She came out, and met Carina dressed up already. Not wanting any more insults from her, she walked past her to the kitchen.Carina thought she would, at least ask where she was going to, but then, she understood her silence.This made her feel bad, but she had no courage yet, to muster to Fiona an apology. She really owed her that.The air between the two was really mo

    The revelation came as a shock to Carina. She felt her body quivering, and her legs wobbled.She tried to stand, but she was unable to, so she leaned on the wall for support. She wanted to scream. She wanted to shout, but her voice betrayed her. She could barely utter a word.All this time, her rapist was the CEO of The Emirates. He was Charles.There was no mistake that the man she met the other time, when she went for the meeting with Jayden was actually her rapist.This explained why she kept trying to recall where she heard that voice. Charles was the one, who took advantage of her! Wait, how did Nathan know him? How did he find out who her rapist was?"Ho…how do y..you know?" She managed to stutter through her words."I…it's..I mean, I was only suggesting. Like, you don't want me to have you, because, uh…I don't have money like, you know. It was only a suggestion, it's not what I meant, okay?" He said, trying to lie to cover up what his sharp mouth had caused.He couldn't tell

    Jayden was stunned. Did she just say..?No, his mind was messing with him. She could not mean what she said. His perverted mind was misinterpreting her innocent words.He was already trying to prevent himself from kissing her luscious cherry lips, and now, she was asking him to sleep with her. No, sleep beside her.He tried to leave, but she still grabbed his hand tightly, not letting go.Just then, his nanny came in, and saw the scene. It was quite amusing, but what amazed her more was Jayden's reaction. He didn't look angry. The way he stared down at her was lovely. Concern and care was visible on his face.He didn't know that his nanny was there, until she coughed, and like flash, he hid his emotions."Uh, I think you should get some rest. I will take care of her," she said, but Jayden's reply shocked her."No, don't worry. Go to bed," he said, and asked her to leave.She was surprised. First, he brought in a woman, and now, he was going to stay in the same bed with her.Could it

    Jayden could not wait to take his bride. Immediately after the wedding was over, they went on their honeymoon.The force of his words left her speechless for a second. "You want to punish me?" She whispered."Of course. For making me wait so long." He replied. And with one sweep of his arm, he lifted her in the air and placed her to sit on the table.She was staring openly at Jayden's mouth now, utterly mesmerized, and he was looking down at her, his gaze hooded, his eyes darkening. He was breathing harder than usual. They were both in the mood, and there was no going back.He picked her up, and placed her gently on the bed, settling in between her thighs.Suddenly he pushed forward, pressing himself against her, while he supported his weight with his elbow.Before she knew it, he had both of her hands in one of his in a strong grip above her head. She gasped at the sudden movement.He leaned forward and took her lips. She moaned into his mouth, giving his tongue an opening. He took

    Jayden had only passed out, due to the amount of blood he lost. Alex had called the ambulance, and they took all of them to the hospital.Carina kept panicking, but Sonia and her sister tried to comfort her, but she was not having it.Andrea flew from South Africa, abandoning her projects. She could not make it to the wedding, but after she heard that Jayden had passed out, and was in a critical condition, she left everything and rushed down.They all thought it was Jayden who got shot, and though they tried to act fine, they were praying in their hearts that he should be fine.Nanny Perla and Mr. Thomas came to the hospital, as well, after receiving a call from Carina. They were asked to stand outside, while Jayden and Fernando were taken inside for treatment. Carina's face was covered in tears, some strands of her hair stuck to her face, and it looked disheveled.She didn't mind, all she wanted now was for Jayden to be alright. The doctors assured them that he would be fine, but sh

    "You know, I'm supposed to be the heir to all your properties. After all, I am the eldest."He walked around in circles, making weird sounds. His hair was looking unkempt, giving him the exact look of a mentally unstable person."Jayden is my legal son, and by right, he owns my properties. I already gave you what you asked for, whatever Jayden has belongs to him," Fernando asserted, his voice falling flat, his aura, intimidating."I worked with you in that company, so that I can take over and manage the company once you retire. This brat did nothing other than go on an unsuccessful adventure of finding true love. After his failed attempt, you handed over the company to him. Just like that!" Nathan yelled, jealous of Jayden.He had only worked in the company to gain his father's favor, only for the company to be given to Jayden, who initially didn't want the company."You," he said to Jayden, "you took everything away from me. Everything I worked hard to get; the company, his favor," h

    Rage burned down Jayden's heart, as he saw the ripped part of the dress, which revealed her thighs."You will do no such thing!" Jayden roared, instructing Alex to track the location.He looked at Fiona, this time, without anger. "I will save Carina. Don't worry, just stay here with your mother, and everything will be fine."He put on a pair of pants, and a shirt, folding the sleeves of the shirt. All that was on his mind now was to save Carina from his hands.There was only concern on his face, he could not imagine what she went through as a rape victim. If Charles was still alive, he would have surely made him pay for the crime he committed.Alex got the location and trailed behind Jayden, whose long legs strode towards the door.Nanny Perla and Mr. Thomas wished him luck. Sonia was there too, but she was not allowed to tag along."We will come back, okay?" Alex hugged her and followed Jayden. He turned on the engine and drove out at a high speed. It was past 7 pm, and there were n

    There was a flash of surprise on his face. How could he be his brother? Someone who once worked for him? Someone who cheated the company?It was ridiculous, and if he were ever in any position to make a guess, he would never mention Nathan's name.How could a psycho be his brother? That was absurd! Jayden looked at his father, pain and hatred were visible in his eyes."That explains it, then. You should have thrown me out into the streets, and taken in Nathan, rather than treat me like I was the cause of your own problems! I can't even stand you, you don't deserve to be my father," Jayden thundered, his voice deepening in anger."Jayden, I—""You, Carina…all of you! There is nothing that differentiates you all. You are the same; liars! Here I thought you were really sorry for everything, never knew you were this selfish. The only true family I have is Uncle Lukas, Nanny Perla, and Mr. Thomas. You," he said, jabbing a finger at his father, "are not my father."He didn't wait for any r

    The audience gasped in shock. Just a while ago, he was the happiest groom, who could not wait to see his bride, and now, he was calling off the wedding.He didn't pay attention to the murmurings coming from the people. He stepped down, slowly walking towards Carina.Each step he took closer to her made her feel like she was meeting her doom. She glanced at the envelope in his hand, it looked like the same envelope she saw yesterday when she met Nathan."Jay, please, I can explain," she muttered, trying hard to calm him down, but the rage in his eyes didn't seem to become tender.Rather, it seemed like her plea made him more furious. Just a couple of steps away from her, he stopped. His eyes never left her, as though she was going to disappear if he even blinked an eye."You suddenly want to explain now, hm?" He started, "Explain what, exactly? That you are not a virgin? That you lied to me? Or, that you had an ugly past which you hid from me in the guise of being a good woman!" He hu

    Stephanie had planned to step out when she saw Alex and Sonia hiding behind the door. She let go of a mischievous smile and went back in. She phoned Nathan and reported her findings to him. He ordered her to send some men to get them. He grinned, knowing that he could even use them better. They were caught unawares, making it easy for the men to get hold of them. Also, they were unarmed, so they could not do anything other than struggle to break free.Just as Carina thought she had an advantage after finding out Nathan's plan, she was ready to come clean.However, her only hope of telling Jayden the truth shattered before her eyes, as she had to sacrifice the truth for her friends.The hefty men brought in Alex and Sonia, with their hands tied to the back. Carina gasped in surprise. She never expected them to follow her."Carina, don't mind them. Go and tell Jayden the truth, don't worry about us. We will be safe," Alex instructed, fighting to break free from the rope that bound hi

    Sonia had gotten a call from Alex last night, inquiring about their discussion. She hated to lie to Alex, and she knew that she sucked a lot at lying.Since it was over a phone call, she was able to lie to him, because she didn't have to look at his face.He didn't believe her, so he said he would meet her at CR Restaurant, so they could talk. It didn't make sense to him that what he heard that night kept leading him on to what Jayden told him.Sonia took out her phone and called Alex. She was panicking, seeing that Carina was a few miles away from her, talking to a stranger."Hello, where are you?" She said, immediately he answered the phone."I'm at the parking—""Don't park the car, drive out now. I'll meet you in front of the restaurant," she replied sharply, rushing out of the restaurant to wait for Alex.She kept her eyes on Carina, and she was about to enter the vehicle, following the stranger.Alex stopped right in front of Sonia, who jumped in immediately, without a care to

    Carina stared at Alex with widened eyes. This was what she was afraid of. Definitely, Alex would tell Jayden about it, and that meant everything was over.Alex walked closer to them, sitting down on the seat he sat on before he left."Oh! We..uh, we have something we wanted to do; more like content, so I was trying to tell her what to say," Sonia chipped in, covering up the whole thing.Alex knew when Sonia was lying and when she was not. He could tell it by looking into her eyes. There was just something about her statement that he could not believe. Even if he wanted to, it didn't just seem real.First, Carina was not a social media person, and creating content about a rape case was too sensitive. "Yes, yes. She is right, I was…I couldn't recall my part, so I was asking her to help me out," Carina supported, hoping that Alex would believe their lie.He didn't say anything. He shrugged his shoulders, taking Sonia's drink from her. "Hey, give me my drink!" Sonia yelled, punching hi
