Melissa regretted her actions very badly. She knew that she had wronged Micheal in a very bad way and the guilt of all she did was telling so much on her that she didn't even know what to do.She hated her life Instantly that moment as she had now lost everything and she didn't even know what to do anymore. She had lost her sanity, was a divorcee for the third time and now was left with nothing. She was not getting a single dime as she could not get any alimony from her divorce with Jackson.How was she going to get that when her marriage had been with an animal in human form, a total bastard who was now rotting in jail and whose situation was even worse than Peter's case.Peter was almost done with his jail term and would finally be out in a month's time but Jackson? The same man whom she had thought was going to change her family's status and that of her own self into something much greater and better had ended up being the one that shattered her the most into a thousand pieces. M
"Today, I stand before you to announce the newest addition to our family." Lloyd Kingston started, speaking to the multitude of guests present.Micheal leaned in, waiting for his name to be spoken, to finally be acknowledged. For three years, he had been married to Lloyd's daughter, Melissa Kingston, but he had always been treated like a piece of shit. He was never allowed in family gatherings neither did anyone consider him as one of the Kingstons.But tonight, Melissa herself had invited him to this dinner hosted by the Kingstons. The family must be ready to finally embrace him. His chest swelled with hope, his name on the tip of his tongue."I would love to announce a special someone to you all tonight. The one who has won the heart of my princess, Melissa" Lloyd added as he smiled brightly. Melissa could not help but grin wildly as she looked at her father."My one and only son-in-law would come up the stage to join us now. " He continued and Michael could not help but feel so hap
Micheal woke up in a room, white walls surrounding him. Blinking away grogginess, he looked around and realized he was in a luxurious suite, far different from his expectations.He heard soft beeping filling the air." Where am I?" He asked himself as he tried to sit up. With his gaze searching around, he saw that he was in a hospital room. It was one that exudes luxury. The soft sheets, ornate furniture, and muted lighting were a stark contrast to the ground he had been lying on moments before. Confusion gripped him as he tried to piece together what had happened.The door creaked open, and a nurse entered. "Good to see you are finally awake, young master, you've been in a coma for a week.""A week?" Michael croaked, disbelief evident in his voice."Yes, young master." The nurse responded with a happy glint spread around her face, bowing.Micheal could not understand. Why was she calling him young master? Was he mistaken for someone else?Before he could get a full grasp of the situ
"That is not possible." Micheal refuted flatly. "My grandfather would never wish for this. He would rather sell it all and give the money to the orphanage than allow it to go this way."Attorney Benedict responded with a smirk. "Your father? You seem to forget where you belong, Micheal. The orphanages. Mr Martins saw you as just another charity case."His words were spoken with a cold sting, piercing into Micheal's heart and causing deep pain. Mrs Kingston and her son could be heard laughing in mockery, happy that Micheal had been disgraced like that by his foster father's lawyer."If you have nothing else to say, you can step out now. We are quite busy right now as you can see."Benedict showed him the door. Micheal could not believe it. The man his father trusted with all his life and properties had been bought away by the deceitful games of the Kingstons. He was going to give possession of everything to them!"This is not right..." He mumbled, still unable to come to terms with thi
"What did you say Micheal did? Are you sure about this?"Melissa was stunned at the news which her brother had presented to her. She could not believe that her ex husband could one day grow the nerves or the guts to ever look her family in the face, not to talk of disrespecting them in front of others."I am sure about what I am saying, sister. He tried to physically attack me and mother, he even punched me in the face. The lawyer Benedict was there! You can ask him!"He showed her a reddened part of his face as evidence of Micheal's brutality. It was all a lie, he made himself up to look that way."And when he was taken away by the Colwill girl, he threatened to destroy us and everything we have."Melissa's eyes grew deep with doubts. The words her brother spoke made no sense to her. Not only did Micheal do the impossible by attacking her family, he also found a way to be friends with a member of the Colwills? No. This must be a joke.She turned to her mother, hoping to hear that Mod
"I'm guessing that would be your former wife on the phone." Alegria Colwill noted as Micheal replaced his phone into his pocket.Former wife? Micheal scoffed. His divorce with Melissa was only a few days ago, but it seemed like everybody knew about it already. Even the ever busy Alegria Colwill."Stop with the pity face. I had to make my research about you before coming out here." Alegria added, noticing the look of surprise that Micheal wore.She was indeed a perfect beauty, with the confidence of a tigress and an aura of class. There was no way she would naturally take heed to lazy rumors be it from other people's lips or from the news channels. Especially since the story was about the Kingstons who were far lower than the Colwills in the ranking of the class of families.Besides, Micheal realized that there was not much connection between the Colwills and the Imperials. The Imperials were way above the level of the Colwills as it was with anybody else, but he could not understand
Leo Dane was in his well furnished apartment, reeking of immense wealth and riches. He was having a sumptuous meal with his wife when one of his house maids came to meet him with an announcement."Sir, your visitors are here to see you.""My visitors..." He suddenly recalled that he had a meeting with a representative of the Anderson family today. It had skipped his mind for a moment."Sure sure. Let them in."Peter Anderson and Melissa walked into the beautiful interiors of Dane's abode. Such a beauty it was, and they could not deny it."Welcome, you two." Dane's wife welcomed them joyfully. She looked particularly happy to receive them even though she had no idea that her husband had a meeting with anyone in their home today. "It pleases my heart to see young couples in love. You both look so beautiful together."Her words made Melissa blush, and Peter responded with a smile as they were offered a seat at the dining hall with the Danes."I don't recall asking you to bring your wife
Realizing that the man whom he ordered to be taken care of by Peter Anderson might be the heir to the Imperial holdings, Leo Dane scrambled his way towards his own gate, his tail between his legs."Where is he?!" He screamed at the security men. None of them could grasp what he meant at once."Sir.. who.. who are you talking about...?"Agitated, he grabbed one of them by the collar and dragged him closer. "The strange man who wanted to see me, where is he now?"His voice held a dark glint, sufficient enough to ring the bell of memories. "The low life? Mr Anderson asked us to get rid of him as soon as we were done teaching him a lesson. Just as you asked."Leo Dane's eyes furrowed in rage. What have they done? To Michael Imperial? To Albert Imperial's grandson?! He knew for sure he was in trouble now, and all this was because of that one dumb man - Peter Anderson."That son of a bitch!!"He dragged the poor security man even closer by his collar. "Go out there now and find that stran
