2023-12-23 01:46:16Just a week later, Tina paced in her room as she tried Reed's number for the umpteenth time, but he wasn't picking up. "Why is he not answering my calls? I'm freaking scared already," Tina panicked. Just when she was about to try his number again, her mom walked in with a serious face. "What is it, Mom?" Tina tried to act calm.
"Tina, we need some money to shut your stupid father down. He's threatening us with exposing our plans if we don't pay him fifty dollars, and I seriously don't have that on me right now," her mom explained. Tina just sighed. "I have no money too," Tina spoke in a very low tone, but her mom could hear what she had just said."Just borrow it from your rich boyfriend or ask him. He'd give it to you since you're his beloved girlfriend. I saw your photo together in the entertainment news, and you look cute, but the headlines are not good," her mom told her."Well, I've been trying to reach him for a fucking week, but he hasn't been answering. And when I went to his apartment, I was told he traveled," Tina sighed sadly. Her mom's eyebrows raised instantly. Something clicked in her mind, and she immediately asked, "Have you slept with him?" she asked.Tina lowered her gaze before answering, "Yes," she spoke the truth. "What?" her mom yelled. "How can you be such a fool? You allowed a man to use you, and now he isn't picking up your calls!" her mom yelled at her. Tina was already burning with anger. She didn't know when she yelled at her mom."It's all because of you, Mom! Before it got to this, I told you we should back off. I didn't want revenge on Gorya anymore, but you didn't listen to me. Now this is really fucked up!" "Park!" a slap landed on Tina's cheeks. She held her face tight, staring at her mom's angry face. "You dare shout at me!" she barked. Tears began rolling down her cheeks. "Make sure you get the money quickly and let's pay your useless father before he spills anything. I don't have time for your nonsense this morning," she said, walking out.But before she left, she walked closer to Tina. "And remember to get on Thames' good side because he's already focusing on that bastard, Gorya," she whispered into her ears before walking out finally. "Why?!" Tina cried aloud.She immediately checked her phone for the news her mother had talked about. Her eyes widened when she saw the headlines, "THE PLAYBOY BILLIONAIRE HAS ANOTHER SIDE CHICK APART FROM HIS SECRET FIANCEE." After seeing this, she stormed out angrily. She spotted her dad and stepsister discussing, but she didn't even have time to chat or argue. Her mom just stood by the door, watching, frowning, expecting her to do something.Tina ordered a taxi and drove to Reed's mansion. She had to be very careful because people had already seen the news. She made sure she told the taxi driver to stop from a far distance from the building. Getting out of the taxi again, she was about to walk towards the building when she saw him emerge with a beautiful lady. Her face dropped immediately. So the rumors were true! He had a fiancée and still used her, taking her integrity away from her.She got so angry and started walking towards the building. "And that was the guy who traveled," she fumed in anger. Reed sighted her from a distance and sighed. "Hey Bella, that's one of my exes," he whispered into the girl's ear. She nodded with a smile on her face.Tina's face burned with rage as she walked closer to them. "Reed!" she snapped. "Hey Tina, how are you doing?" he asked innocently. "Oh, spare me all that nonsense," she waved her hands. Reed frowned but smirked afterwards. She saw this and knew something was wrong. "What's your name, miss?" Bella asked nicely. Tina just rolled her eyes. "Okay, let me tell you who I am. I'm Tina, Reed's real girlfriend," Tina clenched her fist. Bella burst into serious laughter. Tina stared at her."Wow, these girls are really desperate to be your girlfriend," Bella mocked. "See, I'm being nice," Bella moved closer to her. Tina staggered backward. Reed smirked as he watched the scene."Never, ever let me see you near my husband, or else you'll regret stepping your feet in this world, you poor wretched bitch!" Bella snapped, taking Reed's hand and walking off. Tina just stood there like a statue, shock written all over her face.Lisa entered, meeting her dad and mom talking, not even realizing she was at the door. "We have to relocate quickly. He's going to find us and kill us if I don't act fast," the man said. "What? I warned you about this, Daniel, but you didn't listen. Now this man is threatening to kill you if you don't find Mr. Bruce. My daughter's life is at risk!" Mona yelled at him."Yeah, I know. That's why we have to relocate quickly," Daniel explained. "Everyone thinks Mr. Bruce and Mrs. Emma are dead, and you helped this evil man cover up his sins. This is total nonsense. It's either we end this marriage or you do the right thing and expose this man," Mona warned. "You know I can't," Daniel tried moving closer to her.Just then, Lisa came out from her hiding place, shaking. "Dad," her tiny voice came out shaky. The two couples' eyes widened."I'm really tired of this job already," Thyme mumbled. He walked upstairs, heading towards Kelvin's room. He had ordered a coffee earlier. When he reached the door, he heard someone yelling from inside. Eavesdropping on the conversation, his eyes widened.He knocked, walking in. Kelvin frowned, looking at him. Thyme walked to the table and dropped his coffee on it, turning back to leave. Kelvin asked him, "Did you hear anything?"

"Huh? Yes, I mean no," Thyme stammered. Kelvin stared at him suspiciously. "You'd better keep what you hear for your own good," he warned coldly. Thyme was stunned for a few seconds before turning back to face him. "What do you mean by that, sir?" he asked sternly. Kelvin smirked and stood up, walking closer to him. Thyme could feel his heart pounding. He felt a cold and dangerous aura around Kelvin. "This is really happening again!" he thought, feeling a headache coming on. "Don't try me, young man," Kelvin spoke frankly.Thyme didn't like being threatened, so he spoke up. "Sir, I would appreciate it if you respected yourself. I am a citizen and I also have rights.""You could be sued for threatening," Thyme tried to say, realizing how stupid it was to threaten the richest man. Kelvin laughed out loud, confusing Thyme even more. "I know you're a spy. I'll see how you continue when you get sued. It's the other way around this time. You dared to speak to me that way, so let me give you

He took out a sharp knife and smiled, injuring his hands with the knife. Just then, he heard a loud bang on the door and someone was knocking. "Who's that?" he yelled angrily, but the person kept knocking repeatedly, not wanting to give up. Getting annoyed, Thyme walked up to the door, not forgetting to throw the knife on the couch. He opened the door and was shocked to see Lady Rose, the person knocking. "Lady Rose," he mumbled. "Why are you here?" he asked her, but was shocked to see tears streaming down her face. She hugged him, and shock was still written all over his face as he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.She wiped her tears and smiled, saying, "Wouldn't you allow your aunt in?" she asked with a smile. "Aunt?" he questioned in his mind as he got more confused. Seeing the shock on his face, she walked in.Thyme walked in, closing the door behind him. He stared at Lady Rose's angry face and looked at what she was staring at. The knife he had thrown on the white couc

"You've seen her before?" Rose asked to be sure she was correct about what he had said. "Yes, she was the nurse who treated me when I was badly injured the day I found my girlfriend cheating on me," Thyme explained. "What? She's your sister!" Rose said, and new fresh tears flowed down Thyme's eyes. He couldn't believe he had seen his sister on two occasions before. "I'll kill that bastard!" Thyme railed as he stood, breathing hard. Rose immediately jerked up and held his hands. "Please, don't do this. It would ruin all that we've worked for," she begged, but that didn't seem to get through to Thyme as he walked towards the door. "Just forget about everything! If you want to get your parents killed, go confront him," she yelled angrily. Thyme halted and faced her. "Fine." He walked back to the couch and sat back, fuming in anger as he clenched his fist. Rose sighed in relief and then sat next to him."Are you sure about Rose? She keeps acting strange lately," Agnes asked him. "Yes, mot

"Who are you talking to?" he asked first. "I... I, how long have you been there?" she asked, getting scared he might have heard her. "Answer me!" he yelled, which made her flinch a little. "Yeah, so what?" she rolled her eyes. Kelvin got angry in that moment and walked up to her, strangling her neck. She tried gasping for air as she begged him to stop. After realizing what he was doing, he immediately stopped. Tears started to roll down her cheek as she spoke, still trying to catch her breath. "I hate you. You caused this upon yourself. You made all this happen to us," she cried. "Tessa isn't your real child," she dropped the bombshell, which made Kelvin dumbfounded for a few seconds. "What do you mean?" he stuttered. "You caused this! You cheated on me with a bitchy slut, and I got drunk that night after realizing that. Someone raped me, which I didn't know about until I found out weeks later. I was pregnant!" she yelled, causing shock to spread across his face. "After so many years,

This is going to be super interesting," Luna smiled to herself as she picked up her bag and walked out to the sitting room, still meeting them. She just walked past them. Thames, on seeing her, immediately realized she had been in the building for some time now. "Where are you going?" he asked. "Can't I go out again? I was in my room for an hour now, and you've been discussing with your visitors, forgetting you have a wife," she rolled her eyes afterwards, opening the door and slamming it after she was gone. "Did she hear anything? Why didn't you tell us someone else was here? We would have found somewhere more secretive," Rose complained. "I'm sure she didn't hear anything. She had been indoors since," Thames assured them as they nodded and continued to work out their plan. "Mom, Laura is really pissing me off. She's with both Bruce and Emma. I can't stand her anymore," Kelvin complained. "You just have to keep pretending. Just let her be, and let's just work out our plan well," Agne

Kelvin rushed in with his security guards behind him without even sparing her a glance. "Argh!" she screamed as she ruffled her hair. "This would be a great opportunity for me to finally get the money I want," she thought, but didn't plan to leave the place until she got what she wanted. "Please, can I come in to see Mr. Kelvin?" she spoke politely to the security guards outside. They all stared at her before bursting into laughter. She stared at them awkwardly and became pissed off by their actions, but she laughed together with them. "How can a random stranger just ask to see the richest man?" a huge security guard mocked. She frowned her eyebrows and gritted her teeth, then left the place with her face fuming in anger."So you guys have been keeping you for two weeks now, and I haven't asked for anything," Laura sat on a chair facing both Bruce and Emma. They both looked extremely weak, as if they were about to die. "What do you want from us? Just let us go and I promise you, we w

Mum, Dad," their voices cracked as they began crying. Both Bruce and Emma were confused, but in the next minute, their eyes widened in shock. They had just heard their children's voices after twenty long years! Emma slowly turned to face them, tears pouring from her eyes. The joy and happiness she felt in that moment knew no boundaries. Laura asked herself, "Wait, what does he mean by 'I'm not his real sister?'" She was still staring at the phone, thinking, "He's just mad and saying rubbish." She laughed, assuring herself, before dropping her phone and walking to the bathroom. "Now you really do need me after everything you have done, right?" the lady spoke. Mia found the voice familiar, but couldn't figure out who exactly was on the phone with her husband. "I'm sorry, Savarin, for cutting ties with you then, but please, I really do need your help with something," Kelvin begged. "Why would he be begging her?" Mia thought. She then understood when the next words came out of Savarin's

Immediately Agnes heard what he had just said, she turned to the security with her eyes wide open while Kelvin also stared at him in shock. "Does someone else know about Bruce and Emma?" he thought before turning to the man, who just stared at them in confusion. "Let her in," he ordered and the security left afterwards. "What have you done this time?" she asked him and he just sighed. "How many people know about this? I'm really worried this might not end well for us," she spoke with concern. "Well, I don't know. Laura, Daniel, my personal assistant, you, and then..." just as he was about to complete his statement, Luna came in with a wide smile across her lips. She couldn't believe she was seeing the richest man in the world so easily when others would go as far as just to see him. "He's even so cute. Should I also get him for myself?" she thought shamelessly as she kept bowing to them. "Good day," she finally raised her head. "Wow! I can't believe I'm standing here and I have the

Shock was visibly seen in Kelvin’s eyes as he stared at the people kneeling in front of him in utter shock. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. "Mia," was the first word that came out of his mouth as he had a painful look on his face."Don’t be surprised. You don’t expect me to stay forever with you when I found out you are a murderer and a monster," she spat, immediately receiving a slap across the face. "Don’t you dare hit my mother, you crazy psycho of a father," Ryran yelled as Kelvin chuckled madly. "This wasn’t the picture I gave. I really didn’t think my own son and wife would go against me," he smiled as he gave him a punch in the stomach, causing him to groan really hard and spit out blood."And you, tell me, why are you really surprised why you’re here? So tell me, why are you here?" he asked, staring at Astrian. Astrian only laughed out loud, even though he was badly hurt. "Sweers, you are really going to kneel on day and beg me to spare your fucking life," Astrian star

“Boss, Master just traveled out with his private jet,” someone informed Ryran through the phone as he scoffed out loud, “Trail him and send me his location immediately.” He told the person before ending the call.Ryran ruffled his hair afterwards, “Everything was true! His father was really a dubious man,” he thought as he sighed. He wasn’t going to sit back and watch this happen; he was going to expose his father to the media. That was the best thing to do.Astrian tried reaching his parents, but they weren’t picking up. He really got worried as he finally got to his apartment.“Where have you been?” Rose asked almost immediately, but that wasn’t what occupied his mind at the moment. “Have you tried reaching out to Max?” Daniel asked. “Yes, I did but he wasn’t picking up too,” Astrian said worriedly as he stared at them. “We all have to go now!” he yelled as they all nodded. “Except for you Gorya, I can’t allow you to risk this. You’ll be staying with one of my friends,” he told her

“What did you say to me?” Laura asked, staring at Henry in rage. “Nothing, you’re just not seeing these things,” he sighed sadly as Cole immediately changed the conversation, seeing where it was heading. “Follow me now!” Cole said almost in a yelling tone, as Henry rolled his eyes before speaking.“I am famished and need to eat,” he simply told him. “Henry, would you please stop talking to Dad that way?” Mini finally spoke.Cole walked away while Henry reluctantly stood up, following behind. They both got to a corner and Cole pinned him to the wall. “What are you trying to prove?” his father asked sternly as he tried to free himself but couldn’t. “Do you think I don’t know about the dirty thing going on with you and that old hag?” he spat in anger. “You call your grandma an old hag, huh? Besides, I and your grandma have nothing to do with each other. You are just sixteen and won’t understand anything,” he told him calmly. Henry scoffed.“Do you take me for a fool?” he asked, staring

Her hands were covered with a little blood as she immediately ended the call, “What’s wrong with me?” she couldn't help but ask herself as she rushed out. “How dare Jonathan!” Reed’s mother yelled when she saw her son, who was beaten next to her. “Call him Jonathan now!” she yelled, but none of the bodyguards around walked out, which made her angrier.“Son, are you okay?” she asked with concern in her voice, but all she could hear was him making a sound. She instantly got scared as she tried to release herself while the bodyguards walked up to her, pointing a gun at her. She chuckled repeatedly as she couldn't believe her eyes, but in the next minute, she flinched.The man who had pointed a gun at her was shot from behind. Looking up to take a glance at the person who did that, she fumed in anger. “How dare you, Jonathan?!” she yelled, but he just walked up to her with a serious face. “How dare you point a gun at my wife!” he yelled, which made her scoff. He walked up to her and rele

“Young master, madam has been kidnapped,” the butler told Reed, who entered the building angrily. “How dare he claim to love her, but love is out of it when money comes into the picture,” he thought, and the thought of it made him burn in anger. He hated his father to the core. The butler, who understood what was going on, immediately eased the tension. Reed, who knew who kidnapped her, entered his car and zoomed off. “He’s out now, but I don’t know where he’s going,” the butler told Jonathan over the phone before ending the call. He was sweating profusely while ending the call. He had never betrayed the young master, but he did today because he was seriously threatened. Reed drove as fast as he could but immediately halted, making him hit his head on the wheel and bleed. He looked up carefully and observed what had happened. “Many black cars surrounded him!” he scoffed out loud.“Savarin? That name seemed familiar,” Ryran thought. “Oh, I know you must be trying to crack your brain ab

Reed’s hand shook as he stared at his phone, “Don’t you dare hurt my mum,” he told his dad who had tied his mum to a chair and she seemed to be in a deep sleep. “Told you I’d do something and you dared me to and I did,” Jonathan told his son as Reed began fuming in anger. “If you dare hurt my mum, you’d be in great trouble,” he warned coldly as Jonathan laughed, ending the call. Reed hit the couch angrily as he rushed out. Just as he went out, Tina came out looking worried, “Did I do the right thing?” she couldn’t help but question herself. After some hours of waiting, Thyme was called in. Kelvin watched Thyme closely as he walked up to him, “Mr., my assistant has told me about you and you seem to have great qualities.

Ryran listened to everything Mia had said with anger burning visibly in his eyes; he just realized Tessa wasn’t his real sister but could be considered as a stepsister. It really broke him. Tessa was thankful enough Mia hadn’t revealed the part of Kelvin being a murderer and a monster. “No matter what happens, Tessa is still my sister. How could the man hurt you, Mum, because of the Dad?” Ryran couldn’t help but ask the question that had been going through his mind. Mia swallowed hard before she could reply, “He’s…” “Kelvin’s business partner. They actually hate each other for a reason best known to them. It’s business, okay, so we shouldn’t interfere. He wanted revenge and had mistakenly hurt Mum, and he regrets it now. At least he is not like others,” Tessa interrupted, rolling her eyes.Ryran immediately felt confused as he stared at both his sister and mother. “Something doesn’t just feel right,” he said. “You call Dad Kelvin for the first time, and you talk like he really offended

"What are you doing here?" she asked angrily, staring at Reed with malice in her eyes. "I'm really sorry, I have to explain something to you," he cooed. "Get out! Both of you," she yelled, her patience wearing thin. "I would come back to get the money your mother owed me and don't always forget..." he moved close to her. "You killed your mother," he smirked before leaving as she stood like a statue."Are you okay?" Reed asked as she faced him. "I told you to..." her voice cracked as she couldn't say any more words, tears rolling down her eyes. He helped her sit, and surprisingly, she allowed him. "Who's he?" he asked calmly. "How dare you act calm in front of her. But what could she do? She needed someone to comfort her right now," she thought before answering him. "My dad," she sighed as he nodded. "I'm really sorry," he bent his head, guilt covering him. "Can you please not talk about that now and kindly get me some water?" she asked. "Okay," he nodded as he stood up and walked into
