After cominh back from the hospital, Carolene's very rare face was finally seen during breakfast, jade couldn't stop herself from sneaking glances at her. It amused her seeing that she could still hold her head high when she knew for a certain that she was not getting married to Kraig.

It was a very shameless act to Jade.

"So, now that's they're not getting married, whats the need to stay in the house?"

Carolene froze. She had been bringing a spoon full of oatmeal to hr mouth, but hearing from jade made her pause.

She dropped her spoon and stared deadly into jade's eyes.

"She's still pregnant with my baby, jsnt that reason enough for her to stay here?" Kraig asked, obviously displeased about what jade had said.

"And moreover, the person that doesn't have a reason staying here is you. Your husband is dead now, isn't jt your cue yet?" Kyle shot at her, "and isn't your house ready yet?"

This was not how jade had rhought thw conversation would turn. She felt attacked with those wor

    Kraig leans into the leather seat of his car bringing about a sound of contact. He was holding a large unopened envelope, the sunlight poured into hjs car, shedding light precisely only on the envelope, as if knowing that at the moment, it was the most important thing. He frowned at how bright the sun was and how he was expected to open this file when hjs family was complete. It contained the DNA test results. This woukd be able to tell him if Wesley that died had been his real family or not. He was fucking curios, even running out of the office when he got the call, disregarding the meeting he had with his staff. He sighed out loudly before looking around the parking lot, he only browsed with his eyes before he drove away. Straight to his house. He informed them when he received a call from the hospital snd also did the same thing when the envelope was in his hands. As he drove through the gate, all he exoected to see was his grandfather, the second Wesley and maybe Jade. It

    Daniel and Christian had been invited to the DeVille's house for breakfast. They had been quite surprised when the invite came to them through a message from Fabio. Daniel was very reluctant, having intimate relationships with a family under investigation was a no go for him. He didn't want to be clouded by his emotions other than logical facts. And damn, that family was filled with good looking people. From the women and even to the men. And his very bisexual self cannot deal with such. Maybe that was the real reason he was avoiding that family. On the other hand, his partner and best friends were stoked to be invited to breakfast. They were anticipating the whole deal and even got themselves nice outfits for the very simple occasion. Daniel felt they were obviously doing too much. "Why do you think the suddenly invited us?" Daniel asked from the driver's seat as he started the car. Christian was beside him on the passenger seat and Fabio was at the backseat. They were glued

    After texting Kraig all night and the first thing in the morning, Wynn had felt the pressing feeling of fatigue. She was unable to get up from her bed to perform simple tasks, and neither could she even attempt to indulge in the daily necessities, like taking a bath and brushing her teeth. A knock came from her door. "Come in!" She yelled from her bed. The door opened slowly as if the person turning the doorknob was unsure or terrified. It amused Wynn, for a moment she hoped the person was Kraig. But then Leah appeared. Her smile dropped. However, Leah's smile arose, quite widely at that. Not only was she smiling, she also giggled, "hi, I'm so sorry". As she walked to the bed, she was accompanied by the pungent smell of alcohol. Wynn scrunched her nose and looked away. This explained a lot. Wynn sat up on her bed, resting against the headboard as she watched her step sister walk to the edge on her bed in very confusing steps. Wynn's eyes did not leave her even for a split s

But then suddenly his lips were separated from what was making him feel that way and he knew that if he didn't do that thing again, then he would never feel alive. Yes, this was the first time he has felt alive in years and it just so happened that he felt this way for the woman who had been scammed by hjs fake grandson. It almost fekt as if it was a very decent feeling, something that fate brought to his path. "I'm sorry," she freaked out, "I shouldn't have done that, I'm so sorry".

Wynn jad bee yelling ad asking her to stop but Camille fekt that she was the one who gave birth to Leah and so she could scold her daughter anyhow she feels. Leah was still dressed in her clubbing attire and as she stood in the kitchen aisle, she had hee head bent down. The alcohol was still in her system and it wasn't reflecting itself through rage but rather humility. Creepy to say the least. "Where were you?" "I heard you say thst you saw me keave for the club, so why do you still ask?" Camille growled, "what is your problem?!" She yelled, "why are you ruining things for me? I am trying to get you annamsing life but you intend on ruining it with your fucking stupid bullshit". "How is living my life bullshit?" "What jf you get pregnant?"

    "What?" Jade stared blankly at her. Carolene appeared to be quite serious, she wven went further to repeat her request: "I said, prove it. Go get your family's company". Jade frowned and placed her habds on her waist, "and why do I have to prove anything to you?" Carolene shook her heas and took a step closer to jade, "you're not proving anything to me, you're proving it to yourself". Jade laughed, "is that all you can do? Try this godforsaken way to manipulate me?" "Who said anything about trying to manipulate you?" Carolene fixed her gaze on her. Her eyes never left jade's own not even for a moment. The intensity of that stare made jade somewhat speechless. For the second time in less than thirty minutes, Carolene had renderes her speechless. She didn't know what that means but she hoped it meant nothing. "I have nothing to talk to you about" she successfully managed to say and then walk out of the room. "I have an offer for you!" Carolene yelled, stopping jade in her track

    Juan sat in the questioning room, there was a deep frown on his face, not only because he was sitting in a confined room alone, but also that his stomach was rumbling. He has not had dinner before he was brought out of the house. He was angry and starving. Finally the door opened and christian walked inside. He was sort of grateful that it was the cool one that came in and not the other one. He watched how Christian sat down onbte opposite side of the table as they began to stare at each other in silence. Christian broke the eye contact with a smile. "I know you're…" "I'm not saying anything without my lawyer" Juan said. Christian had exoected such reaction, "yourethere fir two reasons; one to help us with this murder case and then then two is because you had aided the kidnapping of Wesley Damont. And I dojt your lawyer can help considering you admitted to the crime yourself". Juan's frown deepened. Seeing that his mouth had been seaked shut, Christian smiled and then cont

    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

    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."Well, I think you taking the initiative, regardless of your feelings for her, to inform

    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
