“Nothing happened, I swear to you. The footage is fake. Nothing in it is real, I swear,” Pamela tried explaining to the furious man.“I don't want to hear anything from you! I work hard every day! I try my best to give you everything you want even though it costs me an arm and a leg and this is how you repay me? By chasing your ex?!” He yelled at her.“Calm down, Thomas. You're yelling. The neighbors are going to hear you,” she said hushly but the man was too angry to care. “I don't care who is fucking listening. You're all over TV for goodness sake and you're worried about the neighbours? The whole world knows you're a fucking whore!” Pamela staggered back. She never expected those words from him. She didn't even expect him to judge her even if everyone else did. He was always the calm and rational one. He was the forgiving one. So why was he making a big deal out of this? It was her role to be dramatic not his. “You just called me a whore, Tom,” her voice trembled. “Are you goi
“Darling, I have a surprise for you!”“Honey, I've got a surprise for you!” Zade and Elsa chuckled immediately after the statement. They both had their arms behind their back to prevent the other from spying. Apparently, while they both planned to surprise each other. “You go first,” Elsa urged“You go first,” Zade said at the same time. They laughed once again. With the way they were going, it wouldn't surprise them if they got the same time for each other. The thought was absolutely ridiculous to Elsa. There was no way Zade could have the same surprise as her. Except with black magic and that would be absolutely terrifying. “How about we present it at the same time?” Zade suggested. “Alright. On the count of three. One… two… three…” They both revealed the brown envelopes. Zade raised a brow suspiciously at hers while Elsa had a smug smile on. “Looks like we went as far as getting the same envelopes. Let's see if the contents are the same,” Elsa smirked, taking the envelope fr
Seven months later, Elsa was heavily pregnant and barely able to move around. The Delamontes pampered her to no end. They didn't want her to lift a finger to touch anything. Elizabeth was the worst. She treated Elsa like a baby and spoiled her with gifts. It made Elsa overly emotional because her own family didn't care that much about her. Zade was an amazing husband too. He made to spend quality time with her. He didn't mind calling off his meetings just to be with her. The grandfather made sure to call her regularly and visit once in two weeks. She understood he didn't want to appear clingy but she loved it. It was rare for a man like Zachary to show affection. “Honey,” Zade called from upstairs. “Where did you put my T-shirts?”“T-shirts? You have T-shirts?” Elsa asked and a head popped over the banister. “I beg your pardon?” “I didn't like them so I trashed it,” she shrugged. “What?” He blurted and she turned to him.“Are you yelling at me?” She asked.“No… no… of course n
Elsa woke up in a dark room. She had been making a casserole for herself when something came over her nose and she blacked out.Now she was in an unknown place with no form of electricity, only one thing made sense. She had been abducted but by who?How long did they intend to keep her? What did they want from her? Would Ray be able to find her on time?All these were questions that flooded through her mind as she remained in the darkness, waiting for whomever it was to put on the lights.“Why are the lights off?” She heard a familiar squeaky voice. Elsa immediately recognized the voice as Pamela’s.Her nose flared in irritation. She thought the annoying pregnant woman would have left them alone by now. The lights flicked on and Elsa shut her eyes unconsciously. “She's awake.” Elsa opened her eyes slowly, squinting occasionally to control the inflow of light. When she opened them fully, she took in Pamela's appearance.She was no longer pregnant but her stomach was still a bit gloa
“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
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
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
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
