He arrived at only one answer. He confirmed it soon."Yes." Victoria snarled, "You are the problem.Her eyes darted around as if looking to appropriately check if no one is looming in the corners. 'This discussion. I need it to be private between us. Infact, there's no need for Isabel to know I came around today.'. 'She will be pissed, mother in law when she finds out about it later''She will never find out about it. I wasn't also asking your opinion when I said she mustn't know about it. it's an order and I expect you to abide by it''I understand' 'Great!' she commended spitefully.Victoria tossed a brown sealed envelope at him. It landed on the tiled grounds with a loud echo 'Sign it''What are they?''The Divorce Papers.''I'm afraid I can't do that''"How much will it take you to leave my daught
The Son-in-law's Revenge Distress
Luka gulped in distress. Right now, he wanted nothing more, than to hide in a dark, quiet room and cry himself to sleep. He needed time to grieve for himself, how he got entangled in a family that didn't want him, to let out all the exhaustion that appeared to be crippling him. It was happening all too fast. A lost job.. A disinterested sibling, A family that hated him... Now this?He slowly looked up to meet the gaze of Pamela. Her grey hair was pulled up into a tight bun, her mouth contorted into a scowl and discontentment haunted her expression. 'Mother....'.He got slapped in the face as soon as the words slipped out his mouth. 'Don't you dare call me that. I warned you already... Twice!' She screeched.'I'm sorry' Luka pleaded, almost breaking down again. There's just so much the heart could take at once. This is getting really out of proportion....'Just do it, Luka''I..''Quiettt. You don't have to say anything. Infact, I do not expect you to. I'm helping you out this once.

The next day, Ethan felt long slender fingers tapping him awake. He sat up ,rubbing his eyes groggily."Yes?" He asked as Isabel's face cancer to view, "Is anything wrong?""Mother has requested for our presence. What did you do this time?" Isabel asked, worry etching on her features. "I don't understand. I did not do anything wrong. ""We're supposed to be avoiding the family as much as we can, if they find out we lied about the pregnancy, things will be really bad.""I have not done anything wrong." Ethan repeated in a firm voice."Yesterday," Isabel folder her arms and stared down at her husband, "Yesterday, you went out didn't you?"Ethan collapsed back to the bed with a sigh. "I'm talking to you Ethan?""I went for lunch with Ruby's grandfather and came back home immediately. "Isabel pursed her lips together like she was going to say something, then she chirped, "Okay." Giving him a half shrug.Ethan frowned at her in surprise, "Okay?"She wasn't going to say anything more
The Son-in-law's Revenge Search for him
****Rants, curses, Insults were all thrown at Luka for the mistake he made. He bowed continuously, repeating the 'I'm sorry' statement without hold.Only a small drop of rain touched Mr. Pamad's shoes right before he stepped into the Manor's balcony.'Go get my daughter. I'll watch you from here. If the same mistakes happen, you will be punished' Mr Pammad bawled.'I'll make sure it doesn't.' Luka mentioned and scurried off to pick up the umbrella the wind blew even farther away.He rushed to the passenger's door, held open the car for Esme. She walked out of the car expressionlessly, grabbed the umbrella from him before he could make any attempt and walked to meet her father.Luka stood in the rain bewildered. From a distant, he saw the duo discussing something before walking inside in sync. Still shivering, Luka shut the vehicle door and hinted the driver to proceed into the garage after his other siblings alighted, following Esme's lead.Thankfully, there was driver. Before, he

****Time went by fast and the clock struck six pm quickly. Luka stared at the tray of food on the kitchen counter one last time, silently praying this would be perfect and the family wouldn't throw cuss words once they taste it. He pulled off the apron, heaved a heavy sigh, picked up the tray of food and wore a small smile. He approached the dining hall in too slow movements, unaware of the person following behind. Luka could swear the body bumped into him intentionally.'Oops... Try walk faster next time' Mae alluded, humming past him.He quickly apologized. 'I'm sorry, miss'Luka followed behind slowly till they reached the dining room.. Like they were all seated this afternoon, they were also complete at dinner today. This fact didn't make Luka feel any better. Are they inviting him to the table so they can mock him as they enjoy their meals? ..The hall was large enough to accommodate a number of fifty. A long mahogany table laid in its center, alongside a number of chairs, tuc
The Son-in-law's Revenge His only family
Kristen paced the room uneasily, like an adult would do. She continued scrolling her iPad, a hint of worry working her facial features up.'It's okay, Kristen. You need not do this''Quiet. This is happening because you stayed under the rain for too long. Why didn't you go in through the back door? Why didn't you knock the door and call for help when they locked you outside. I realized only later because they mention it during tea time, I would have opened the door way earlier.'.'I don't have a key to the back door. I promise, it's okay. I appreciate your effort on that day'She closed her iPad with so much force. 'We need to get you to the hospital, Luka. It's hypothermia.'Luka tried to laugh. It came as a wince. Every part of his body aches real bad. 'It's not that bad'.'Hypothermia is really really baddd, Luka. It's life threatening!' she exclaimed, hissing.Luka was used to seeing her act older than her age so this display didn't really faze him.'You should be in school. It's
The Son-in-law's Revenge The new crew
Vanders and his crew were ambushed in their hide out by new men. He knew what they came for. On whose orders they were here. Vanders cussed under his breath. They needed a little more time. Just little. Their last search around the river had brought a clue. One that would lead them to the Belinskys boy child, whether dead or alive.If could they could give him forty-eight more hours, he'd provide the Belinsky boy rotting corpse wherever it was."You know why we are here?" One of them asked. Vanders nodded. It was too easy to guess. They were here to punish him and his men.'They said to take only ten of your men.' the one who Vanders guessed to be the leader of the strange group announced.Kill ten of my men? Vanders eyes widened in shock. 'Tell them to give us more time to find the Belinsky boy' Vanders responded. For six hours, he consistently has been trying to get the higher ups to talk, to negotiate with them. He made no progress at all. They simply neglected him. All of the

***Pamad's Mansion***They all stared as the men carried the Luka from where he collapsed. They watched the scenario unfold till the men vacated their manor alongside.Mae wouldn't stop sighing, Pamela let out her annoyance on her husband, reminding him how terrible of a person he is and how badly he treated the Luka too'You are blaming me for treating him like that when you literally did worse?!' Mr Pammad shouted at his wife.'You are the initiated the idea. I would have treated him much better if it weren't for you. I liked him before. You poisoned my mind' she snapped back."He's a bastard, how do you expect me to love a child from my wife's affair??""Still you could have just accepted him.""I did that, didn't I? Besides, tell me? Did you know? Who his father is?""No." Pamela shook her head negatively, "No one knew of his existence. I tried searching for the man but I didn't find him, you were there the whole time. Why are you asking me?"'Talk about shifting blames' Mr

We are here
They were all waiting for one person to arrive. Ruby continued to glare at William, pissed that he was here. “I still don't see any reason why he is here Lukyan.” Ruby called him directly now that everyone present in the room now knows. “We need him to testify against his father in the court later. Besides an enemy of my enemy is a friend even if it's temporary. “ Etham whispered to her. Ruby spared another harsh glance at William who gave her look that told how pleased he was to be her source of discomfort. Ruby thought she's had her share of surprise that day until the AI announced Drogo's presence askimg Lukyan to give them entry. Them because Drogo wasn't alone. Ruby watched the door with expectant eyes as Drogo filed in, followed by Tony and a battered blindfolded man.. Tony pushed the blindfolded man to the floor, blood smeared the it as the man tried to gather himself up. In addition to the blindfolded, his mouth was gagged and his hands were tied behind his back. “A p
A visitor
“You have a visitor Will.” The officer informed him..William frowned, wondering who it could be. Has his father developed a remorse of his un-fatherly actions and wanted to right the wrong?Nah. William shook his head.“Who is it?”It's your uncle.” The officer replied over his shoulder. William halted. His father's brothers didn't give a hoot about family, why would they visit him all of a sudden.“Hey! Hurry up. I ain't got all day.” The officer yelled at him. William wasn't led to the usual visiting room. He was led to a more.lrivaye one hat a detective would use to interrogate a prisoner for details instead. “Who the heck could that caring uncle be?” William wondered out loud as the office urged him into a room.The bloody hell!” William yelled as soon as he saw who was seated waiting for him.Ethan and one other man he didn't know. Ethan looked at the officer and nodded at him to leave them in privacy. “Hey! Hey!!!” William yelled whn this officer locked them in.“I'd prefer
You'll see
The best they could do by themselves was make the study rid of dust so to recieve Mr Alexei Javi who was probably running down this way with his shadow behind.As soon as they were done, theybwere informed of his presence.“Sir Zaitsev, you have a visitor.”“Scan and see if you recognize his face,” Ethan replied the AI with a smile, knowing that it knows who Alexei was. It just simply felt good to be him again.“Alexei Javi, Chairman of Javinsons hotel. Would you like further information on him sir?” it replied.“No, thank you.”“Approve or deny entry?”“Approve.” Minutes later, a man in his seventies still with a youthful energy around hims burst into the room as if the fact that he had been given entry was not enough proof that Lukyan was alive. As soon as he reached the threshold of the study, he halted. Eyes shifted from Droho to Lukyan. “You.” He breathed, staring at Diego. His eyes softened and Justine was filled with relief. “You're here too.”Drogo smiled. “But…” He stared
As you live
Two hours later, Drogo and Ethan were leaving the coastal countryside with flash drives and documents from the smaller rectangular boxes in the treasure chest at the Ivanov's resident. They also didn't leave without having some money transferred to Polina and a promise to visit her again in the future.Now they were headed to Ethan's grandfather's beach house in the rental car.“I'm thinking of having Polina work for us after I resuscitate Belinsky Enterprises. I'm going to focus on how restaurant and food production part.” Ethan shared his thoughts with Drogo who responded with a small smile of approval.They got to the beach house in time. Outside, the building was beauty to behold but Ethan knew that the inside would be crawling with all kinds of creepy and stray things. After his grandfather's death, all of the workers had been dismissed including the housekeeper or do he thought until he saw a hunched figure in a black coat and a checkered print tweed flat cap hurrying out ofa cr
So long
The childlike giggle high-pitched by excitement travelled far thanks to the wind that came with the push and pull of the seawater against the sand, creamy white foam lining the tip. There were three figures playing on the sand, two wore blue shorts and were shirtless while the third one wore a green one with a tank top on. They all had light blonde hair. “I'm counting now!” The third one yelled, sounding feminine. “One! Two! Three! Stop!” The boys froze. They both found it hard to control their laughter as the girl chose which to go after. The game was simple. She had a maximum of three leaps to make it tonome person. If she does touch whichever she picked in those three leaps, then the person touched will replace her in he middle and do his counting. Between the two boys, one could tell which was older very easily. The one on the right hand of the girl was taller and older-looking than the cute little boy on her left who was about his elbow high. They all resembled each other so i
Satisfaction
Isabel's spirit seemed to drop further into despondency with each step she took down the stairs. Wrapped in a wool robe and her hair in a towel of the same material, her finger traced the silver railing of her stairs as she descended slowly. She's just had the loneliest heartbreaking bath. Despite the essence she had added to her bath water that was meant to help her feel great afterwards, her body still ached. And parts of her she couldn't exactly identity. She was sure if one thing however. That she was numb from head to toe. She's done enough crying to last a year, her tear ducts were probably tired and wouldn't produce any more of the salty liquid even if it was prompted to. Her slow descent finally came to an end and she had eventually reached the end of the stairs. Her eyes roamed the house at an unrushed pace, slowly taking everything in and noting how empty—super empty the house seemed to have become. Could one person really make such an impact? She asked herself, huggin
Silver
“You know, you could have just let Ruby drive us to wherever this Thai restaurant is than is having to ride in your car.” Ruby looked outside as she strapped the seatbelt across her chest, silently praying that no one else saw her go into his car. “Thank you but I'd rather not be seen in a Cosmo purple car. Who drives such a colour around nowadays.” Tony put on his seatbelt to and leaned forward to assess the tightness.“Uh excuse me, it's called being unique.”“You're certainly standing out.” Tony teased. “Well sorry if you can't stand a little colour because you're used to the greyness of your world.” She tapped the side of the vehicle lightly with her knuckle for emphasis.“Silver.” Tony corrected as he pulled out of the lot. “It's silver Lolly.”Ruby's eyes jutted together. “Lolly?”“Your car looks like grapefruit flavour so…” Tony explained.Ruby opened her mouth as if to say “the audacity!” “Look, I have varied taste. I'm not restricted to a colour okay. You know what, when n
Guy in black suit
Ruby's body perked up the instant she saw him wall out of the building. “Go after him!” She tapped the shoulder of the driver's seat eagerly.“Who?” Jena asked.“The guy in the black suit.”Jena scanned the parking lot of Logan Industrial Group and found he oerosj her boss was suddenly enthusiastic about. “Tony?” She blurted out thoughtlessly, wincing quietly when she realized her slip-up.“You know him?” Ruby watched Tony speak to someone in his phone. He looked attractive with his hands on his waist and his face switching to serious to slightly less serious as he conversed with whoever was on the other side of the line. Today was sunny and his gelled hair was shiny under the rays of the sun. “Yeah. Tony Ecaudor. Just by name. You know from people I've worked with in the past.” Jenner did her best not to stammer and raise further questions from Ruby. She watched Tony end the phone call and got out his car keys.“Quick! Drive up to him. Quick quick!”Jenner did her fastest starting
Signed
Isabel didn't wait for the car to completely stop. She couldn't. The words were still playing over and over in her head. “Ethan signed the divorce papers sweetheart. You're now a free woman.” As soon as her father had said those words, the driver had stopped the car while she asked—rather, demanded what he was talking about and why the divorce papers had her signature on it even when she had no recollection of ever signing the divorce papers. “You don't remember? It was the day we ate together at the restaurant.” Her father had answered before closing the door, leaving her even more consterned.She rushed past the guards and servants welcoming her, not bothering about her belongings still in the boot of the car. A light shower has started, miniature droplets of it getting soaked up by her blazer. She burst through the front door, eyes wide and searching as she scanned the premises. It was empty and her heart did a painful lurch. Next, she ran up the stairs to the bedroom and with
