The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Crippled
Elizabeth paced outside the ward, muttering incoherent things and silent prayers. It was almost three hours since Zade was rushed to the emergency ward, she had been unable to even breathe properly. No one said a word to her yet concerning Zade. They were just moving in and out of the ward, no one gave her even a little piece of information.She was tempted to call her father, but that would attract too much attention to them. It would ruin everything Zade planned.Roselia ran in like a mad woman, panting and gasping. Once she heard the news, she bombarded his phone with calls until Elizabeth answered and told her where they were."How is he? Is he okay?" Roselia asked between heavy breaths."I'd like to think so. No one has said anything. They just keep going in and out of that room. When I ask them about him, they keep saying I should exercise patience," Elizabeth answered."Oh my goodness! Why would anyone want to kill Zade? He's the calmest person I know. He avoids trouble and ea
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Auction
Zade was taken home in a wheelchair a few days later. The first thing he noticed was that Elizabeth was avoiding him. Roselia claimed she had something urgent to attend to and couldn't return anytime soon. On the other hand, Roselia began to go out more often, leaving him to struggle to get things done himself. The whole situation was annoying and frustrating. "Where are you going this time?" Zade asked. Roselia ignored his question and focused on powdering her face. "Rose…""Can we not have this discussion, Zade? I have something urgent to attend to and answering your silly questions would delay me," she snapped."When are you coming home then?" He asked instead. She dropped her makeup brush in frustration and glared at him."I'll be back whenever I can, okay? Just let me be, please," she groaned.Zade said nothing more until she left. After ensuring she was gone, he called Elizabeth."Teddy.""Liz," his voice lacked the excitement in hers. "I'm tired.""Tired of what? You're th

"I don't understand you. You have me already, why are you still with that imbecile? He can't provide for you, he can't give you the things you want so why are you still with him?" Lance slammed his fists on the desk.Roselia shifted back in fright. The action made him glare at her, instead of comporting himself.She opened her mouth to speak, but words failed her. This side of Lance was new to her. She'd expected he'd bring it up sooner or later, but she never thought it would happen in such a rash manner. "Say something, dammit! I give you everything you want, take you out on fact dates and you wouldn't even let me touch you!" He yelled, overturning his desk.His laptop smashed against the tiled floor, evoking another leap from her heart. If she was frightened before, now she was terrified.She'd never met anyone with such a bad temperament."L-Lance you n-need to…""Need to what?! Don't you dare tell me to calm down? Wait… are you playing me, Rose?" He asked suddenly."No!" She ye

Dinner was unusually silent. Roselia's eyes flickered to Zade more often than not, but the man was busy eating his food."I'm sorry I came late. Something urgent came up and I had to stay back," she apologized."It's fine, just eat your food.""Ummm…" she pointed her fork across the dishes, "isn't this a little too much for just two people?" "I guess I overcooked a little. I will put some of them away in the fridge," he answered quietly. Guilt ate deep into her."Zade I…""Like I said, just eat your food," he interrupted. Roselia nodded and continued eating her food silently, yet she felt uneasy with everything happening. Something did not just feel right about the situation."Elizabeth called." Roselia's hand froze on the fork. She slowly looked up at Zade, trying to find answers in his eyes, but those honey-brown eyes remained mysterious."She didn't exactly call… I did. She apologized for neglecting and promised she was coming home today… so I made these…"Roselia's fist hit the

By the time Lance woke up the next day, he saw shreds of evidence regarding the damage he caused the previous night. Shattered pieces of glass, blood, littered remnants of cocaine, spilled drinks. He blinked, pushing himself off the couch.A small whimper escaped his lips, forcing him to grab his head. The migraine was more intense than that of a regular hangover. Events from last night flashed across his mind. His body stiffened when the first he gave Roselia replayed in his mind.He remembered beating, strangling, and slamming her against the wall. His eyes widened like saucers. Without delay, he flew off the couch and dashed upstairs to change into something decent then he headed to her mother's place.He wasn't sure where Roselia would be, but he hoped her mother would know if she wasn't home. The glare on Mrs Harper's face when she opened the door, suggested Roselia was in or at least came to report him. He cursed himself for acting rashly. He didn't mean to go off on her l
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Auction night
To say Roselia was bold was probably an understatement. The woman had the guts to drive the car she got from another man right into his house.Zade waited for her to come in, but another wave of surprise hit him when he noticed her face. There were bruises on her face that didn't seem serious, but Zade was not stupid enough to believe that.Roselia couldn't start wearing heavy makeup all of a sudden. Sure he sent the recording to Lance, but when Roselia didn't return last night, he hoped it was nothing too serious.Clearly, it was. Aside from being a total douchebag, he was a woman beater. Zade couldn't bring himself to feel sorry for her when she twirled the car keys with happiness."Zade," her tone was suddenly serious, and all traces of happiness seeped out of her expression.Zade knew at once she was going to ask about the recording so he decided to hit her first before she hit him."You bought a new car?" He askedSurprise, nervousness, worry. Zade watched keenly as her expressio
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Tricked
As the auction commenced, Lance's eyes remained on Zade. Even when he asked his PA to watch the man, he was worried the man would miss an important detail so he did the watching as well. He couldn't help but notice Zade's mini expressions. How his brows would raise in expectation when the next bid was introduced, then drop when he realized it wasn't what he was expecting. Lance cracked. The man was really out to destroy him. Everything pretty much remained the same until it was time for his product bid.However, instead of his product, they introduced some anonymous seller who wasn't even present in the auction ground. Lance was furious. His target clients and investors were about dispersing. He specially invited them to witness the worth and magic of his new project and now, some anonymous fool hijacked his place?Lance was ready to storm over and confront them when his PA stopped in."What is it?""Sir, it seems this might be what Mr Harper came for," the man answered. Lance turn

"Mr Harrison, is there a problem?" The official asked. Lance couldn't get a word out as he stared at the audience. Several thoughts ran through his mind as his brain analyzed possibilities. He jerked back to life the minute a hand touched his shoulder.He fished his pockets for the flash drive and took it out. "Play this," he handed the flash to the operator."But Mr Harrison…""Do it dammit!" Lance snapped. He stared at the projector, praying to whoever was listening that it wasn't what he was thinking. There was no possible way he could have been scammed of millions of dollars right before a huge audience.Besides, Tridax had placed a bounty on him for theft so he was convinced there was no way it could have been a sham.By the time both product overviews appeared on the projector side by side, Lance realized that the pictures they stumbled upon weren't a pure coincidence or carelessness on the part of Antony, but were carefully planted to secure the confidence of investors.Lance

Happy
The hospital was in chaos. Just a few hours ago, they were busy trying to deliver a woman of her baby and now, there was a blood bath. Doctors, nurses, and patients scampering for their lives. Edgar arrived at the hospital just a few minutes after the Delamontes did. With the guards positioned around, he knew there was no way to carry out the initial plan. He wanted Elsa. As revenge on Zade for ruining his life, he wanted to kidnap Elsa and the baby. Unfortunately, the security was too tight.Even if he succeeded in getting into the hospital, there was no possibility of getting out unscathed and alive. So he decided to face them squarely and it resulted in a bloody gunfight. The Delamontes were with Elsa in the private ward, with the Doctors and nurses attending to her.No one cared about the blood bath outside. Their priority was for Elsa to deliver safely.Edgar was able to take down the guards at the entrance but just when he thought he'd succeeded, more came out the through th

Labor
“You sure this plan is going to work?” Elizabeth asked for the umpteenth time.“Why do I feel like it's not the plan you're worried about but the person you might find,” Elsa crossed her arms. Elizabeth let out a sigh. “It's just that, I really like him, you know. I desperately want him to be the good guy. It will break me if he is actually the mole here.”“It's okay to be terrified. It's normal when you love someone, you want them to be an angel. A misunderstood villain and all of that but we need to face reality here. If Zion is not who he pretends to be, then we need to purge him out of your company before he ruins you,” Elsa said frankly.“But why would he?” Elizabeth threw her hands in her hair, confused and frustrated. “I offered him a job as my PA with a heavy paycheck and mouthwatering allowances to enable him to better the lives of his grandmother and son. I got him a fucking luxury apartment. Why would he repay me by sabotaging my company?”“You've said all the good things

The culprit
“Who do you work for?” The question was accompanied by a punch to the man's guts. He let out a groan but that seemed to be all he was going to do. Groan and groan until they got tired of hitting him.“I asked a question! Who is your boss?” He barely acknowledged the question, focusing on the wounds on his body. He had been stalking Elizabeth as usual when three cars entrapped him and he ended up here. The men had been torturing him for three days straight but all attempts to get him to speak were futile. The highest he did was scream and curse at them.“Tie him on the electric chair,” came an order. The man wasn't even panicked by it. They weren't going to oil him because they needed answers so nothing they did scared him.After tying him to the chair. They bathe him with water. His heart heart accelerated a little. He knew what electricity and water could do and frankly, he didn't want to experience it. “Are you ready to talk?” He was given a last chance.“Never!” “Perfect.” T

Zion?
“Mommy!” Helen heard from a distance.“Mommy, wake up!” She heard again. There was a slight pounding in her head. She was surrounded by darkness.“Mommy, wake up!!” It sounded so much like Elaine. She could feel the girl shaking her but she couldn't see her. “Mommy!”Helen tried to speak but her mouth was not cooperating. It felt like it had been sewn shut.There was another voice in the background. It didn't sound like Elaine’s but there was a familiar feel to it. Her hazy mind couldn't comprehend anything at that moment. Even her mind was struggling to process her situation. Why couldn't she open her eyes? It was obvious now that she wasn't in the dark, she was still unconscious. “Mommy!!” The little girl was weeping now. Helen struggled to get her eyes open. To tell the girl that she was fine. That everything would be fine.“Is Mommy dead?” She heard that familiar voice.“No, she's not. Look here, she's breathing.”Helen was a little relieved. At least her little girl was sensib

Mole
Elizabeth arrived at the office looking tacky which was so unlike her. Zion followed her into her office curiously. She'd never been an hour to work before and definitely not looking the way she did now. The eye bags were evident and her lips were chapped coupled with the rough ponytail she had on. She looked sick.“Good morning, ma'am," Zion greeted but she gave a mere nod in response. “Uhm… is everytime alright? You don't look fine. Yesterday, you left the office suddenly and today you look like a mess,” he observed. Elizabeth glanced at him before scampering through the files on her desk. “Ma'am, I know you might not feel the need to talk to me after my behavior yesterday and I apologize. I just had a lot going on so I might have taken out some of the frustration on you," he said lowly.“What makes you think this is about you? Look, Zion, you are just an intern here and I advice you focus on what you're here for. Don't bother yourself about me, I'll be fine," she said coldly.

Poisoned
Zachary and Zade were at the prison in less than an hour to retrieve the body. The body was still warm suggesting that he just died recently.Elizabeth wasn't with them. She had gone in search of Helen as soon as she got off the phone with Zade. Zachary made sure she was heavily guarded. He didn't want anything to happen to her too.“So, may I know why my son who was entrusted in your care is lying lifeless on the floor,” he asked the chief officer.The man exchanged frightful glances with his colleagues. Words could not express how much trouble he'd gotten himself into. He was in the comfort of his home, ready to have dinner with his kids when the officers informed him of the situation.“We… we are working on it, sir. We don't know what killed him but I assure you I will get to the bottom of this,” the man shakily responded.“Not the response I want to hear. I'll ask you again. Why is the man who was entrusted in your care lying lifelessly on the floor?” Zachary asked again, his to

Murder
Her heart picked up as she noticed this strange car taking every turn she took. Once she arrived home, the car sped past but Elizabeth knew it wasn't completely gone. Hurrying to her father's room since her room was bugged, she took a look out the window. Just as she thought, it was packed at the other side of the road, directly facing her house. Elizabeth tried to make out the figure in the car but she couldn't tell who the driver if the driver was male or female because the glasses were tinted. With this person monitoring her, it was unsafe for her to stay home. Who knew how many cameras they planted in there. Shooting her father a quick text, she exited the house with two bodyguards. Her next destination was her grandfather's house. If she went to one of her penthouses or another mansion or even called someone to check the bugs in her room, it was very possible they could use it as an opening to plant more. Releasing the nudes was no problem. Anyone could tell from the footag

Stalker
Elizabeth was signing documents with Zion on the other side of the room answering emails. “Zion,” she called. “I'm not doing anything after work. If it's okay by you, I'd like to see Noah afterward.”There was no response from him. She looked up and found him buried in work. Of course, he wouldn't hear her. It was childish but she folded a paper plane and threw it at him. He looked up with a mortified expression that almost sent her wheezing in laughter.“I suppose that would be funny to you,” he said dryly.“Come on, you don't have to be so uptight. I only threw the plane at you because you were too engrossed in work to hear me,” she said lightly. His brows knotted together in displeasure. He was not enjoying the conversation.“I couldn't hear you because I am deaf,” he gritted. “Why are you being so cranky today? First, you get upset over a little joke and now, you're making it seem like I'm making fun of your disability and I don't like that. I was only asking if I could come o

Denial
“I am not dead yet, there is no need for y'all to pamper me,” Zachary complained.“We know you're fine, father, we just don't care. You just woke up and it is only right we take care of you until you are strong enough and well rested,” Elizabeth said. Zachary didn't like the sound of that. He did not like to be babied.“I don't plan to spend another day here. All you need to do is sign my discharge papers and I will be on my way…”“On your way to where?” Zade questioned. “Neither of us will sign those papers until we confirm you are fit to move.”“Fit to move? Was I diagnosed with paralysis? I can flex my legs as much as I want to. You kids are the ones making this a big deal,” He stated. “We don't care what you think. We will sign the papers only when we feel like,” Elizabeth crossed her arms stubbornly. Zachary glared at them, “If you don't sign those papers, I will…”“You’re smart, Grandpa. I expected you would understand that threatening us would not change anything,” Zade int
