“Thank you so much for the gift, my heartthrob. I never expected it.” Alicia's voice echoed from the phone after Antonio had picked up her call.
“Huh?” Antonio was lost.“ What are you talking about? W-what do you mean?” his heart was pounding inside his chest as curiosity took the best part of him.“I'm lost here. Didn't you send Wayne to deliver a birthday gift to me? Are you drunk ?” Alicia yelled at him.“Gosh,” Antonio gasped and said,“ Forgive me, I have forgotten. I have a lot to do in the office today. So, I have a slight headache. Maybe that's why I have forgotten. By the way, how was the birthday celebration?” he lied amidst burning in anger because Wayne didn't deliver the gift to the right person.“What celebration when you refuse to come over or take me out for dinner tonight?” she rolled her eyes.“But I told you in the morning that I had a lot to do in the office today, so I wouldn't be able to come. Have you forgotten that?“Alicia? What are you doing here?” Both Antonio and Wayne were shocked to see Alicia who was standing before them as anger ruled over her.“How I came here isn't the issue here. The question is, what are you both discussing here? You think you can play with my senses, huh?” Alicia grimaced at them.Alicia was on her way to Wayne's place to complain about the flower he bought for her as a gift from Antonio.However, as she was a few miles away from Wayne's place, she decided to call him, but he didn't pick up.As she was about to arrive there, she spotted Wayne driving out of his car. Upon seeing that, her instinct told her that something was wrong somewhere, and she needed to check out.She pleaded with the driver to go after Wayne. That's how she was able to find out where Wayne was going.“Look madam, I don't know what you are here for, but believe me that's a wrong manner of approach. I mean, you couldn't even greet us before you utter any word,” said Wayne, pretending as if he did
Aidan, who has been unsettling for the past few days after Wayne, had revealed to him that Sharon was innocent of what she was accused of.Just to avoid humiliation, Aidan concluded that he would call Sharon and plead for mercy from her rather than go to her house. As usual, Aidan was in the beautiful garden, sitting under a shade as he operated his phone.He dialed Sharon's number, and it rang, but no one picked up the call. He didn't give up, rather, he called again.As the second call was about to end, Sharon finally picked up.“What do you want from me?”! Sharon's angry voice echoed from the phone, causing Aidan's bit his lower lip and shake his head.Silence reigned between them as Aidan thought about the best thing to tell Sharon, so she could understand that he was indeed sorry for chasing her out of his sight the last time she came to his house.“You have every reason to be angry at me, Sharon…” he finally spoke.“Look, Mr. Aidan Frederick,” Sharon sharply cut him off,“ Tell m
“Hmm… My friend and I are visiting someone today. So, I might not be available until evening.” A voice echoed from Alicia's phone.Undoubtedly, one could easily tell who she was talking to. Her expression had shown it all that she was talking to her so-called boyfriend, Antonio.“Which of your friends? If I may ask.” she inquired, having feelings that it was Wayne Antonio was referring to.The truth was that Alicia was looking for a way to get rid of Wayne from Antonio's life because she had gotten what she wanted.The only thing Alicia was waiting for was for Antonio to propose to her before she could leave Kate's house.“Is that important?” Antonio smirked.“Can you please answer me? I know why I'm asking you this, Antonio… hold on, someone is at the door,” said Alicia after a heavy knock came on the door.“Attend to the person. I will call you later, please.” Antonio announced to her and then hung up the call.Alicia gestured towards the door. Immediately she opened the entrance, s
Later that day, Antonio fixed a location where he wanted Wayne to meet with him. Wayne agreed to meet with him because he was certain that Antonio wanted to introduce him to Gregory. From there, he would be able to gather little information about what was happening.Nonetheless, Wayne was a bit scared because Alicia had turned her back on him, and she might have revealed her mission to Antonio.The only thing he needed to do was to be careful so that Antonio wouldn't fool him and get rid of him.After meeting at the address Antonio sent to him, they used Antonio's car to go to Gregory's mansion; Wayne was fully aware that they were going to Gregory's mansion with Antonio's car because he was told by Antonio even before he went there.For that reason, he left his car at the place he rented under the care of a certain man, who volunteered to look after the car.After a few miles of driving, they finally arrived at an estate gate, where Antonio showed them his access card, so they could
Antonio and Gregory suddenly burst into heavy laughter, with their guns still pointing at Wayne.At that point, Wayne clenched his fist furiously as he lowered his gaze at them. He wished he could fight them, but that was almost impossible because they were large.Gregory's guards alone are enough to take him down with just a shot.“You are just a boy, dude,” Gregory spat out through gritted teeth and finally dropped his pistols.Antonio also dropped his pistol and then took a few steps toward Wayne with chuckling.He finally stopped a few inches away from Wayne as they glared at each other.“I should have known that this was what you were planning. You are a devil in the human body, Antonio.” Wayne fearlessly spat out every word with anger.“I guess you now understand what my statement meant. Of course, you understand unless you are a dumbass,” said Gregory as he also stepped forward.Gregory stood beside Anton
Now, Felix, who didn't bother to ask about his Mom after arriving home, finally requested where she was and Kate narrated everything that happened.Felix was enraged because his Mom died miserably. However, he didn't care much because he believed that she was facing the consequences of her evil.However, after hearing that, Charlotte couldn't believe it because she was convinced that Aidan wouldn't do such a thing.Nonetheless, Charlotte was eager to see her boss. But Felix wasn't ready to present himself to Aidan, thinking that Aidan might still be holding grudges against him about what happened between them before he fled away from the Nasa city to country B.“Do you still believe that my boss will do that?” Charlotte questioned Felix with annoyance.“Look, babe. It seems like you are not getting what I'm saying here. Yeah, let's assume that he wasn't the one who poisoned my Mom. So who did it? Because my Mom was under his care when he took her for dinner. However, I'm not even both
“I-I'm s-sorry. I never meant to do that?” she stammered with her head low.Felix frowned and lowered his gaze at her.“ Look me in the face and tell me if I look like someone who can believe your lies.”As soon as she heard that, she felt tears gathering in her eyes. She suppressed her tears because she knew that tears would not help her.She slowly raised her head and glanced at Felix's face, and then quickly averted her gaze away.“Forgive me, sir. It isn't what you think, please.” she fell on her knees and pleaded.“And how did you know what I'm thinking, huh?” he yelled at her. He averted his gaze to Kate and said to her.“ Since I stepped into this house, I noticed that there is something fishy about this maid. Thankfully, her identity is gradually revealed. Is this how she has been behaving?”“Erm…no.” Kate shook her head.“ However, I also noticed that she's hiding something from me, which I'm yet to find out what it is
Upon seeing how angry Felix became, Alicia quickly lowered her gaze as fear ruled over her.She could feel Felix's gaze on her, and she was confused about what to tell Felix so that she wouldn't be hurt by him. If not for Charlotte, maybe Felix would have beat the hell out of her when he caught her eavesdropping on their conversation.“Who are you working for?” Felix asked through gritted teeth as he glared at Alicia with reddish eyes.Alicia opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth; rather, she found herself thinking about the best lie to tell Felix.“Answer me, b*tch!” he roared, causing Alicia to flinch in fear.“I… I'm not working for anyone, except my mistress.” she stammered as she fearfully pressed her palms against her thighs.“Don't pretend as if you didn't understand my question. Who sent you here, and why are you trying to escape at this time of the night? Speak now before I get you arrested.” he grimaced, inching his face closer to her with anger.“Forgi
