Diana’s stomach clenched with worry as she absorbed Bella’s statement.

Slowly, she released her hands from Bella’s collar with a web of worry lines forming on her face.

“You let Daisy be in that condition because of your greed. Don’t you have any soul?” Diana asked, causing Bella to huff and straighten her blouse.

“No, you are the one who allowed her to be in that condition. Stay away from Alex and I will stay away from your family. Also, you should visit your daughter at the hospital. She needs her mama,” Bella spoke sarcastically and she walked away with her head held high.

Just then, Diana’s anger turned into concern, and she rushed out of the villa, intending to meet Daisy who had been admitted to the hospital.

“Ma. Evelyn, the CT scan reveals that Alex has liver cancer, and thank goodness we found out earlier; otherwise, it could have been too late,” Fiona uttered, causing Evelyn to gasp in shock.

“But he will be treated as soon as possible, right?”

“Yes,” Fiona replied with

    “You have been diagnosed with liver cancer,” Diana explained, approaching his bed with steady steps.She pulled out a chair, pushed it towards Alex’s hospital bed and she sat on it.“Yes, Grandma Evelyn told me today,” Alex replied softly, his voice sounding weak and slow.“As your primary nurse, I will advise you to have more rest.”“Alright.”“Also, be careful. Something fishy is going on with Bella, but thank goodness, Fiona is the doctor taking care of you. She is more trustworthy than Doctor Ben-” Diana uttered, then she paused upon realizing that Alex’s eyes got shut.“I will leave you to rest then,” she uttered. She understood that he had fainted, and with his present condition, he needed more rest. So, she moved away from the chair, intending to leave the ward.Just as she was about to leave, Fiona walked in with a fake smile on her face, and her hands were dipped in her lab coat’s large pockets.“You must be working very hard to make him better,” Fiona muttered, gazing at Ale

    “His entire empire?” Fiona mouthed, dumbfounded with Bella’s plan.“Yes. Now, get back to work,” Bella rasped before ending the call. She took a peek at the maid approaching her with a glass of juice then she gazed at her warily, recalling that the maid was always around her whenever she received a call. As soon as the maid placed the glass of juice on the table, Bella smiled, and she picked it up. She pretended to take a sip from the juice, and she got engaged with her phone.Meanwhile, the maid walked to a corner that had no CCTV camera, and she pulled out her phone to dial a phone number.The phone number was nicknamed, ‘Boss, Thomas.’As soon as Thomas answered the call from the other end, she narrated everything she heard quickly, while Thomas chuckled at Bella’s plan.After the maid completed the narration, Thomas instructed her to continue her work and he ended the call swiftly.Pushing her phone into her pocket, the maid turned around to leave, but what stood before her fri

    At Evelyn’s villa, the maid escorted Fiona to the living room, and Fiona reached there, waiting for Evelyn patiently. As soon as Evelyn reached her side, Fiona approached her and muttered, “I need to talk to you.” “Alright, have your seat,” Evelyn responded, gesturing toward a nearby couch. Hastily, Fiona sat on the couch, and she spoke, “Ma. Evelyn, you need to listen to this recording. It is a conversation I recorded between Mrs. Bella and I.” As soon as she completed her statement, she played an audio she recorded which revealed how Bella intended to kill Daisy and have the entire empire to herself. Fortunately, Fiona didn’t follow Bella’s orders because she understood how it would feel if she was in the victim’s shoe. Also, the other time she injected a fluid into the IV fluid bag that was connected to Alex, it was the normal fluid she was supposed to inject. But, she pretended like it was a bad fluid, just in case Bella had a spy that was watching her. “Gosh, I knew she wa

  • The Son-in-law’s Supremacy    1 | I brought your birthday gift

    The rain poured heavily as a cold breeze whipped through the air. It was evening and they were just little passersby on the lane. A thin, young man, Alexander Sterling in a shabby-looking jacket trudged down the lane as he hid a rose inside his jacket. It was his wife’s birthday and he had planned to surprise her with a gift. In previous years, he was unable to buy her any gifts because he had no money. He proudly walked into the opulent mansion, as his worn-out shoes stained the clean, tiled floor with dirty mud. He was prepared to do anything to make his wife happy again after so many arguments and problems. Inside the opulent mansion was a crowd of wealthy people in the living room, drinking and dancing roughly with music playing loudly. Alex was a little confused with this. His wife, Bella had texted him about calling a doctor when she had a fever, but she didn't inform him about throwing a party or inviting her wealthy friends. Alex silently walked past the crowd as he didn't

    Leaning on the counter, heartbroken Alex thought back on his marriage. He did a delivery job when he was very young before he was able to successfully get admitted into the university. Even after the admission, he had to get different jobs in order to keep paying his university fees and his mother’s medical fees. He and Bella were close friends. He loved her, and he decided to propose to her after he graduated. Luckily, Bella accepted but the marriage was not accepted by her family until Bella pleaded with them. Afterward, the marriage was filled with thorns. Bella’s parents, Mr and Mrs. Vanderbilt kept embarrassing Alex as they never thought of him as a part of their family. Even Bella started despising him too. To keep his marriage intact, Alex went through hell and back, as he also tried to be a good son-in-law to Bella's parents. He borrowed money from loan sharks to buy Bella and Bella’s parents lavish gifts, which left him at the loan shark’s mercy and at risk of physical ha

    Alex returned to Bella’s mansion as he pondered about what the doctor told him. He could not even think of how to come up with such an amount of money, hundred of thousands of dollars! Even if he were to borrow money from the loan sharks again, they would only beat him up and maybe sell him this time. He gently pushed the door open as he walked into the living room. The wealthy crowds left the living room in a dirty state. Cups, empty bottles, and trays of food were everywhere on the couch. The music was stopped and some maids were cleaning the living room already. He walked up to Bella’s room, and he sighted Bella all alone, on the sofa with a goblet of wine in her hand. “Bella, Mum is at the hospital and the doctors need some money for treatments.” Alex spoke slowly as he was scared of how Bella would respond. He knew Bella would only give him money if she wanted to post it on her social handles. Bella slowly sips her wine before turning to Alex. “Open the drawer and take as muc

    The night sky was aglow with bright city lights as the rain stopped pouring. A Mercedes car sped off into a villa, and it was parked neatly in a spacious garage. Mr. Vanderbilt, the old man alighted from the Mercedes car as he walked gently into his villa with his stick hitting the floor calmly. His mouth agape, he was stunned by Bella, his daughter's presence since she only visited him when he had a meeting with his wealthy business partners. He looked at Bella as he noticed that her hands were wrapped around a pillow and she clutched it towards her chest before sobbing quietly. With what he witnessed, he assumed something bad happened to Bella so he walked towards her to calm her down and to question her for the unnecessary sobs. Mr. Vanderbilt stretched out his hand from his pocket and Bella screamed. “Ah! Dad, didn't you see the camera was on?” Bella yelled, glaring at her father before she glanced at the little camera that was recording what she did. She grabbed the camera then

    On a bed with crisp white sheets and a thin pillow under his head, Alex lay there unconsciously as he was in a small, quiet toom. The scars he got from the assailants hitting him were evident, even the scar over his left eye. He had been in a coma for nine months and luckily, the fisherman who rescued him took care of him, along with a country doctor. The silence in the room immediately got broken by the noise of chickens clucking loudly outside the room. Alex stirred from his sleep as the chicken's cluck disturbed his sleep. For the first time in nine months, he opened his eyes and moved his fingers. Finally conscious, he found it difficult to recollect, focus or bring himself to recall how he got to the room. He could not even remember who he was or why he was in a room. He felt like he was a newborn baby that had graduated from college recently. And then, he tried his best to piece two and two, or to remember anything but still, his mind was in a blank state. Confused and scared,

    Evelyn’s statement rang in Bella’s head and she stammered, “What?” with her body trembling at the statement, ‘Get rid of her.’“Guards, you should do your job or you will be fired. Meanwhile, Diana and Fiona should follow me,” Evelyn instructed and without a second thought, Bella moved away, being aware that the guards would definitely obey her.Immediately she moved away from them, she shot a glare at Diana, then, Evelyn, Diana, and Fiona walked away. Meanwhile, Bella was stunned by Evelyn’s actions.She didn’t expect Evelyn to visit the villa, or instruct the guards to get rid of her, especially when she is Alex’s wife, and his soon-to-be mother of his children.Just then, the same maid who repeatedly poured a liquid into the glass of water she offered to Alex passed by, with a tray and a glass of water.However, Bella spotted her and her eyes widened in shock.“Gosh, not now!” She muttered to herself, then she stopped the maid immediately. Dismissing the guards, she turned to the

    “Though, you are very lucky. It will be easy to get rid of your allergy since it’s only been a few months,” Bella uttered, and she leaned forward with a smirk playing on her lips, “I know you love Daisy, Iris, and Melissa so much, so do this for them.”Afterward, the smirk on her face was replaced with a fake smile, and she leaned back, “You will do it, right?”With that, Diana’s eyes turned red as tears threatened to stream down. Earlier, she had decided to keep the baby and convince Jeffrey, but now, Bella is threatening her with her family.“Yes, I will do it,” Diana replied.“Alright, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Then, we will get rid of your allergy,” Bella replied tartly, and afterward, she walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Diana watched her leave and her car sped off, Diana reached for her phone and she dialed Alex’s phone number quickly. But unfortunately, Alex could not answer it. He was in a wheelchair, sitting motionless as he stared into space in the

The maid walked in quickly, then she offered a glass of water and the painkillers to Alex.As soon as Alex took the painkillers, and the glass of water, a smirk played on the maid’s lips and she excused herself.***“Mr. Alex, you are alright,” Doctor Ben uttered swiftly, causing Alex to approach him.“Really?” Alex inquired.“Yes, we ran a CT scan and everything is fine,” Doctor Ben replied with a smile on his face, then he paused before muttering, “Sir, did you notice any negative symptoms?”“No, no. Since you said that I’m alright, then, I am,” Alex responded, causing Doctor Ben to bow his head.“I should take my leave then,” Doctor Ben spoke politely, and Alex waved his hand quickly as a sign of dismissal.Afterward, Doctor Ben left the room, while Bella walked in majestically.“So what did he say? You are fine, right?” Bella

    Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw

    “I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
