Daniel felt so frustrated; he didn't know what to say or even how to say whatever would come to his head. He wasn't in any way pleased with what he had just heard. And although he had no say in matters like this, his disgust was apparent.

Kraig took in a deep breath, "I know you guys obviously hate that you're listening to this, and you feel that I am stupid." He sighed, "maybe I am stupid. I knew she is a criminal, but I still indulged; I still blurred the lines and just delved into this, and I'm coming to you with excuses such as these."

Christian shook his head, "you've never been one to hang onto what has already happened. The whole thing has played out already, and instead of biting our fingers and wishing things were different, we would just be wasting our time."

"So what do you propose we do?" Jraug inquired, seeing as one of them was not going to stay on the fact that he had been foolish.

    Juan had definitely had enough of bickering with Jade. He didn't get the whole idea surrounding her relationship with Carolene; if she liked girls, then she did. What was the whole deal?He looked around the room for a while, tired of looking at the blonde, tired of seeing her face and hearing her voice. He had come here for the specific reason of trying to recall how his life used to be so uncomplicated with her. And well, he recalled because entering here, he realized that he was small and minuscule in her life and as a result, insignificant and uncomplicated.Juan waved his hand at her, "just forget everything and just come out if you will.""Are you going to keep it a secret?" Jade asked again."If I'm asked, I will tell, if I'm not, then surely won't go spreading shit about you to who doesn't even want to listen," he said. "I think your biggest issue should be getting yourself better and getting out of this hellhole." He looked around again as if he had reached a new height of di

    Tires screeching!A car pulled up in the school's parking lot, and its quirky old sound made the students stared at the car with disgust. "Who's that?" "It must be one of the freshmen. What a car!""That shouldn't be called a car. It's from the nineties, and it should remain there." They erupt into laughter. Their gazes pierced through the windscreen, and they maliciously stared at Kraig, who was embarrassingly sitting in the driver's seat.Kraig's heart started to tremble. He could feel his heartbeat suddenly increase, and it wasn't just because of the other students but his beautiful fiancee, who was angrily seated on the passenger side.Jade's eyes were reddened, and her head lowered as she squeezed her hands on her long coat. Kraig couldn't bring himself to say a word."Turn it off." Jade abruptly lifted her head, and her gaze tensed up for a moment there The veins on her temples were throbbing as she tried to control the rage flowing through her veins.Jade's eyes trailed Kr

    The weather in winter was cold and the atmosphere was always dark, but that didn't stop Kraig for trying to find the perfect hairstyle for the birthday party, afterall, he needed to look good.He stared at his reflection diligently, and carefully, he parted his hair into different angles. Somehow, he felt he wasn't styling it perfectly, and Henry, his roommate, who's a perfect hairstylist by talent, have refused to help him."After what happened in school earlier, you still want to attend this party of hers?" "We made up. It's normal for couples to fight. And perhaps, she's still grieving remember." Kraig response was supposed to make Henry give up on his attempt to persuade him from not going, but somehow, it felt like an excuse he gave himself. He shook his head disregarding the negative thoughts and then smiled at his reflection. "You seem to have forgotten that nothing good happens when you visit that house." Henry warned him, but it made no difference to Kraig."Today is Jad

    The hall fell silent, and all eyes were on Juan, who was kneeling before Jade. Kraig's unease grew; he felt suffocated and unable to breathe."Jade, on this special day, I present to you these gifts from the depths of my heart." Juan smiled as he took Jade's hand and kissed it.Kraig felt anxious. He was just about to speak up, but when he saw the color of red creep Jade's cheeks, the muscles of his bottleneck stiffened. She was grinning in excitement as her gaze was fixed on Juan.They were staring at each other affectionately. Juan held on to Jade's hand and walked to her other side, his hands slowly wrapped around her waistline, and his free hand snapped in the air at his servants, ordering them to present their gifts.The servants opened the gift on the table as others were cleared out.In each box were different presents, one of each was a 'Gulf Pearl Parure Bracelet' worth over 13 million dollars.Amongst other gifts was a Bulgari snake diamond necklace worth millions.After Ju

    Kraig slowly regained consciousness, his eyes fluttering open to an unfamiliar and exquisitely decorated room.For a moment, he thought he was still trapped in a dream. But as he tried to move, a sharp pang of pain in his arm reminded him that this was, in fact, reality.Kraig was confused as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings. The room was vast, adorned with luxurious furnishings and intricate artwork. It exuded luxury and elegance.'Am I dead?' A sudden fear shuddered him as his eyes welled up.He tried to remember what had happened yesterday. He recalled being thrown out of the bar, and that was it, nothing else."Was I hit by a truck? Was I shot?" The words left his mouth, making him feel even more miserable."Why did I end up like this? I didn't even graduate from college..." He cried out, but then-"Mrs. Rosa..." He heard a voice, and suddenly he froze for a moment.Quietly, he rose from the bed, his limbs feeling heavy and unsteady. As he stepped out into the hallwa

    As he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the same room as before, only this time, it wasn't strange.He sat on the bed, and as his eyes trailed the room, a heavy sigh left his lips as he thought-'All these are mine!' The DeVille Empire was not just any ordinary business conglomerate; it was a global powerhouse that spanned multiple industries. From real estate to technology, banking and pensions, their influence reached far and wide; their wealth was beyond imagination.Kraig's mind raced with a flurry of emotions. Disbelief, confusion, and curiosity all vied for his attention. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that he was part of a wealthy family.There was a sudden feeling of anxiousness that crept underneath his skin. He didn't know if he could handle it all.Suddenly, the doors opened, and his thoughts were quickly buried when he saw his grandfather walking inside. "You must have been really shocked. I'm sorry for that." Kraig tittered, "What's there to be sorr

    Kraig walked into the grand entrance of the biggest shopping mall in the city. It was a place he had never dared to enter in the past, but now as the heir to the DeVille group, it began to seem like nothing was impossible for him.In his right hand was his black card. His grip tightened on the card as his eyes wavered around the store in amusement.With just a glance, one could tell that each suit in the departmental store would cost more than 50,000 dollars. As Kraig was about entering the store, a middle-aged woman dressed impeccably in a tailored suit walked to him and asked, "Excuse me, are you the new cleaner?" Kraig snapped out of his thoughts instantly as his gaze fell on her. "Pardon?" He was surprised.The lady seemed annoyed by his response. Her lips warped in a sneer as she raised her voice, "Are you here for the cleaning job?" The other customers were alerted by her tone, and they watched anxiously."Job? No, you must be mistaken; I'm not here for any job. I'm here to

    Kraig's confident smile wavered as Mrs. Montgomery erupted in a loud laugh, her mocking tone filling the air, and her finger was pointed at Kraig as she said-"Stealing a card, are we?" Mrs. Montgomery sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. "Lily, call the security immediately! We can't let this thief roam freely in here."Lily's face shuddered, her lips parted at Mrs. Montgomery's words."What are you waiting for, Lily?" Jane snapped at Lily.When Jane saw that Lily made no effort in trying to call security, she scoffed."You don't have to; I will call them myself.""Ensure he doesn't run away before the security gets here." Mrs. Montgomery said, and instantly she called security."What is going on here?" A man's deep voice yelled, making everyone turn in his direction.He was dressed in a luxurious grey suit, and his aura was that of someone with authority.The man seemed impatient and stepped forward oppressively, "What's going on here?" His deep voice threatened, and his gaze a

    Jade paced around the room. Trying to reason with someone as simple-minded as Juan was proved to be anything but simple. She wanted to explain to him that if he did not change his statement or even pretend to be on her side at this moment, he was risking his head.She didn't know the abilities of Carolene, but surely, silencing a man so small, a man so insignificant would not be such a hard thing to do.However, she couldn't. There was a front that she was putting up for the world; Carolene was appearing as a weakling, a stupid blonde who did nothing but get pregnant for the most important man in the business world.But she was more than that. What she was was actually complicated, something that Jade couldn't guess but rather had an idea for. She was more complex than any of those men or women that would say a thing or two about her.And even this man in front of her had no idea who Carolene was, and that was why his request did not drift from a threesome.What the heck was even wron

    Daniel took two steps forward. Though such a small number of steps should not possess the ability to completely obliterate the distance between them, but his strides were the guilty party.With just two steps, he now stood right beside Fabio as he peered into the evidence bag to scrutinize clearly the bullet kept within.Fabio was made cognizant of the imaginary distance between them. He felt Daniel's breath on his neck; he could smell the overpowering cologne, the aura of his being. Everything was too much for him; he had no choice but to take a step away from him.Daniel raised an eyebrow, "what is it?"Fabio rubbed his neck, trying to smoothen out the goosebumps that showed up on his skin, trying to rub away his presence away from him."If you want to look at it, here," he tossed it to him and then turned towards the funeral home where Wesley and his mother were still hiding.As Fabio approached, he saw that an older woman was placed on a stretcher and was being pushed towards the

    Tabitha's heart raced violently in her chest. The anger that suddenly arose within her obviously had no recipient. If it was any other day, she could probably rant to Carolene, but the woman in front of her, sitting with a wrinkle between her eyebrows and a tired expression mixed with her livid one, surely wasn't in the mood to hear her bullshit.She cleared her throat and tried to work her way around her emotions, to be careful not to let Carolene's rage come upon her and to not let hers find comfort in Carolene.Tabitha bit her bottom lip until she drew blood. It was the best way to keep her lips shut. Her anger was nowhere near what Carolene would do to her if she spoke out of turn."Juan?"Carolene nodded her head, her fingers twirled in her hair as an exasperated sigh left her mouth."I have more reasons to kill him now." Their eyes met, "you were the one who wanted to keep him alive, why?"Tabitha immediately pulled her eyes away, bringing them beneath, showing the authority Car

    Kraig took a step forward, the distance between him and Patricia only the space of two fingers. "I don't know why you are being like this," he said coldly and in utter disrespect. "I am the heir, I am the son of your nephew, and I apologize for the patriarchy, but I wasn't the one who made the rules.""And in addition, we have our own company we manage. Uncle had been quite understanding of how unfavorable the system is, and he gave us a company," Wesley said.Kraig raised an eyebrow in surprise, "so you have your own company, then what is your problem with me?""You own everything; you men took everything," she cried out. "I don't like this, I don't want this."Tabitha stood on the side, watching everything. She noted that surely it was because of the woman's age that was making her cranky and not just that; she might have some sort of disorder.When they first met, the woman had never really liked her, nor even tried to hide her disgust and hate. But as she thought, it could be beca

    Leah woke up in the small room she had been waking up in for over a week. She could recall how she had gotten out of prison, but no matter how many times she thought about it, it just didn't make sense to her.The woman arrived at the cell with the keys that would free her, and then the two of them just walked out. There were people there, officers everywhere like a pandemic, but she just waltzed through the crowd like it was nothing, like they were all beneath her.And from what Leah had seen with her eyes. They were really beneath her.She jumped off the bed and checked the time on the small black alarm clock resting on the nightstand. It was over three in the afternoon. She was lucky.She had been given her own space where she would just exist. She had no idea what her role here was, but she assumed that it had something to do with the baby in her womb because they were always giving her food for two people and as such, she had added a lot of weight.She was still tall and slim and

    Different exotic cars were parked in front of the simple funeral home. There were people coming from all directions with one aim in their hearts: to get to the funeral of Petrus DeVille. Although it was considered a tragic event, there were still reporters lined up across the place just so they could get an overview of what was going on in that small, cheap-looking funeral home.Kraig stood by the door as he welcomed people; some he recognized, but many were a mystery to him. He had a frown on his face, which should match the ceremony, but his frown had not generated from sadness but rather frustration.The last place he wanted to be caught in was standing by the door and addressing the people coming in and out. His grandfather did not deserve it.The noise reporters kept making and the noise from the funeral home joined together, giving Kraig a severe headache. He hated being there; he hated that he had to be the one welcoming people.His eyes went down to his black suit and ran his
