"You're what?!"Tessa grips the edge of her sofa to support herself from falling from the shock of the news she had just received. Xavier was in jail. Tessa shuts her eyes, not wanting to believe what Xavier was telling her on the phone. "You failed and got yourself in jail"Tessa huffs."I wasted my time trusting you could actually do it,"Xavier sighs."Please, I need you to get me a lawyer and get me out of here!!"Tessa couldn't imagine what Xavier had requested of her. He was a wanted criminal, and his crimes were too many to count. There was no hope of him getting out of jail, and Tessa thought he knew better than to deceive himself and accept his fate. "Don't ever contact me again, Xavier."Tessa hangs up the call and blocks Xavier's number quickly. Tessa slumps on the sofa and tosses her phone to the side, putting her face in her palms. It was over. All that they had planned wss ruined. Once again, they couldn't manage to defeat Milan. Tessa began to fear feeling her ha
Daniel chews on an apple as he reads the article on the news about a popular and successful businessman named Mr. Brown. Daniel picks an interest in how much success the man's company has achieved, and he was listed among the top companies in New Jersey alongside Milan. It seems that within the weeks, B.M Organisation was climbing the top with sakes, and a lot of companies were in competition with them. A smirk grows on Daniel's lips as a plan comes into his head. He was going to get a job there and help defeat Milan's company. If he couldn't start a company of his own, he could work under someone's company and deliver information enough for them to take out Milan as their competition. Enough to ruin his image and even make him go bankrupt. Of course, Daniel had no idea how he was going to do it, but if he could make his way into the company and get himself a high position, he could be able to work with Mr. Brown and discuss ways of bringing down Milan's company. Daniel looked o
Mr. Brown's mouth hangs slightly open as he stares at Daniel as if he has grown a second head. The room suddenly becomes silent, and there is tension in the air as both the man who came to see Mr. Brown and Daniel stare at him waiting for some sort of response, but Mr. Brown looked like he had been struck by lightning. "Mr. Brown?"The man asks in a calm tone, snapping Mr. Brown back to reality. Mr. Brown clears his throat and peels his eyes off Daniel, who stood awkwardly wondering if he had said something wrong. "Give us a minute."Mr. Brown says to the man who nods and exits the room, leaving Daniel and Mr. Brown alone. Mr. Brown gestures for Daniel to come closer, which he does since he was standing far by the door. Daniel wondered if there was a problem as Mr. Brown's expression quickly morphed into a serious one. "What did you say your name was?""Daniel Brown"Mr. Brown lets out a heavy sigh. "You're the son of Reyes, aren't you?"Daniel shakes his head. "No, I'm not hi
Daniel puts down his laptop when he hears the beeping on his phone. He looks over at it and picks it up seeing a text from B.M. company. Daniel finds himself feeling excited as he opens the text. He wonders if he had gotten accepted to work there. After his dinner with Mr. Brown, he felt assured that he would get a job because of his late mom. Daniel skims over the text, and a smile creeps onto his face. It wasn't a job offer message. However, they requested his presence at the company. It was hope enough for Daniel that they were going to deliver good news to him. Daniel quickly gets up and prepares himself to go to B.M company. When he gest there, he is directed to Mr. Brown's office to see him. Feeling a bit nervous and excited, Daniel knocks and enters into the office with a smile. "Good afternoon, Mr. Brown"Daniel was smiling widely, but his smile faded when he saw Mr. Brown wasn't smiling back. Instead, Mr. Brown looked like he was lost somewhere as he stared at the desk.
The tapping of Daniel's foot is the only thing heard in the doctor's office as he nervously awaits the DNA results. He had gotten a call from the doctor that the results were ready, and he hesitantly made his way to the hospital as a huge part of him wanted to be in denial about the results Mr. Brown had shown him. Daniel spent the previous night twisting and twirling on his bed as he couldn't sleep a wink as he pondered on the news that Mr. Brown had dropped like a bomb to him. Now, with red baggy eyes and the tapping of his foot, Daniel stared at the clock on the wal as the seconds passed. "Mr. Daniel, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I had an emergency to take care of. I hope you will understand with me. "Daniel couldn't care less for the Doctor's apology as he starred up at him in anticipation. The doctor sensed his urgency and took out a file from his drawer handing it to him. Daniel practically snatched it from the doctor with shaky hands and slowly opened it, realising
"What happened between you and Milan?"Daniel lets out a long sigh and orders for wine, feeling like he needed to be intoxicated if he wanted to tell his father about Milan. "Milan is nothing but a monster. I had an affair with my husband wife when he was a broke pathetic loser, and once he got his father's inheritance, he came back to bite me and get revenge for it. "Mr. Brown scoffs. "That is absolutely petty. If his wife decided to be with another man because he couldn't give her what she wanted, then why would he involve you? He should be upset with his wife. "The wine arrives, and Daniel watches as the servers pour a glass of wine for him and keep the bottle. Daniel chugs down a glass fully. "My life became pathetic. He took away the company I worked hard to build with my own hands. He kicked me out of it and took my position only to later go back to his own company and appoint someone else to take over. "Daniel chuckled darkly. "It was my own damn company. He took everyt
Ariel gently walks into the room and takes a seat opposite Milan still staring at him. The look of concern in her eyes bothered Milan alongside her silence."First of all, I want to know who Daniel is and why you are stalking Ella and her mother. Also, did you send someone to jail?"Ariel paused and took in a sharp breath as she asked too many questions at a fast rate and had to calm down. "I know I've never asked you questions about your personal life or why you might have decided to do the things you do, but I want yo know now,"Ariel squeezes his hands in her lap. "I want to know who I'm dating. It would be crazy that I was in a relationship with someone and barely even knew their secrets. I want to know what to expect. I can't be kept in the dark walking around cluelessly. "Ariel looks up at Milan when he is silent "Does that make any sense to you?"Milan picks up a glass of wine and chugs it down. "You're right, darling. You have the right to know who you're dating. We are i
"I have some news for you, boss."Milan leans forward with his elbows in his desk as he stares at Mark in anticipation. It had been a while since he had come to deliver news for him, and Milan was so eager to hear what Daniel was up to working for Mr. Brown."It turns out -"There is a knock on the door, and suddenly Ariel walks in. She pauses in her tracks, seeing Milan with Mark, and the both of them share a look. Milan clears his throat. "Ariel…Uh is there anything you need?"Ariel gently shuts the door and walks up to Mark, stretching out her hand for a shake with a smile on her red lips. "Hello. I believe we haven't properly introduced ourselves when we met the last time. I'm Ariel Hilton, Nice to meet you"Mark glances at Milan awkwardly before taking Ariel's hand for a shake, mirroring her smile as well. "I'm Mark. It's also a pleasure to meet you, Miss Ariel. "Milan hadn't tf Mark that Ariel was aware of everything. He had told her the truth about Malr and all that they w
