“I will,” Mary responded, ending the call.Immediately Rob sensed that the call ended, he rushed out of the villa, recalling what Rita said about dealing with him since he was in the villa. He knew what she meant by dealing with him, and it’s best he ran when he had the chance.As he walked out of the villa, a van sped up towards him, its light making Rob blind to its approach. Instantly, the van hit Rob, sending him into the air as time seemed to stop. From that high distance, Rob dropped, his back hitting the ground with a slight bone-breaking noise.Blood gushed from his forehead. His eyes opened widely too, but his body was motionless. Hastily, the men in the van stepped out with a stretcher. They placed Rob’s unconscious body on the stretcher and rushed off, with their van disappearing into thin air.“He was taken into a van,” Mary uttered, looking through the window as a call was connected.“Good!” Rita responded, “I will inform Thomas right now while I prepare for the next pha
“Bella, please, calm down. It hasn't gotten to this,” Alex pleaded, hoping he could de-escalate the argument.“None of my family members steal, or are ex-convicts,” Rex spoke quickly, fueling Bella’s anger.“Dad, please. You shouldn't argue over this,” Alex uttered. He didn't want his father and wife to be against each other, since his motive was to introduce her as part of the family.“Yes, he shouldn't. You know what? I'm done. I'm leaving!” Bella exclaimed, rushing off.Alex followed her, begging her to not leave, while Rex turned to his escort. “This is the reason why I despise marriage based on love. An arranged marriage with a family from a respectable background like the Watsons would have been better. And this lady named Bella is obviously a gold digger who transformed my son into her puppet.”“Very accurate, sir. Something quickly deducted the huge amount of money in the card you gave Alex, with expenses from shopping malls and female shopping malls. I wasn't even expecting t
When Rita could not hear any sob or sounds from the building, she silently walked into the building, the tears on her face already wiped off. She approached Thomas and handed the document she held to him.“Here is the DNA test result,” Rita uttered, causing Thomas to shift his gaze to her. Hastily, he took a peek at the document, hoping it would be what he expected.He grinned, beaming inwardly, and read out loud, “The tested individuals do not share a biological relationship as father and son!”“Hehe... He is an imposter!” Thomas exclaimed, his voice tinged with happiness. Meanwhile, Rita looked down, not wanting Thomas to detect that she deceived him and had changed the toothbrushes afterward.“About our former plans, I'm changing them to something better since it's now clarified that Alex is an imposter,” Thomas muttered, grinning from ear to ear.On the other hand, Rita felt unhappy. She replied quickly, her face contorted to a sign of disgust, “Alright." Turning around to leave,
Immediately Bella witnessed Alex walk down the staircase, she rushed towards the drawer, searching for any clues to clarify that he wasn't the real Alex. It was a bit difficult to believe Thomas, so she concluded on finding out if he was truly an imposter.Suddenly, she had a change of mind. Unsure of what to do, Bella reached for her phone and dialed a phone number.“Mum, I need your help,” she muttered, and a grunt was let out from the other end of the phone.“What now?” Mrs. Vanderbilt, Bella’s mother grunted over the phone.“I need help and advice. It's very important and I'm a little confused,” Bella admitted.Thud!At the other end, Mrs. Vanderbilt was chopping vegetables. She stopped chopping and scolded Bella.“You didn't call for a long time now. I repeatedly called your phone number, but you were ignoring me, weren't you?” Mrs. Vanderbilt inquired, and Bella shook her head as if she was facing her presently.“No, Mum, I can never ignore you,” Bella spoke quickly, causing her
Meanwhile, Bella was in her room, laying on the king-sized bed as she idly pressed her phone, engaged in a series of funny reels after the maid left. Ding! Ding!A message notification popped up on her phone, and she hurriedly checked it, assuming Alex had sent her some money to make her happy. She swiftly opened the message, only to be taken aback by it being a normal message, not a credit alert. She scoffed, almost ignoring the message until her gaze landed on the word ‘Ballroom.’Hastily, Bella returned to the message, reading it carefully, as it caused her pink lips to part in a slow, contemplative motion.[Dear recipient of this message, if you are reading these lines, it means you are a valued member of the esteemed Rex family, and it is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the joyous engagement party of MR. RONALD and MRS. VICTORIA who holds a cherished place within this family. Although, the family relationships will be explained later at the engagement
July 1st...Upon reaching the hotel, Alex and Bella stepped out of the car hastily. Alex glanced over at his golden wristwatch, his brows furrowed, before cursing silently. “It’s eight o’clock, Gosh! We are late,”Bella, who was not concerned about their punctuality looked up, smiling sheepishly at her gown before facing Alex with a grin. “Tell me, how do I look?” She asked excitedly.“You look pretty as always, and thanks to your effort to make yourself look perfect, we are late,” Alex muttered under his breath.Bella huffed, “Whatever.”She walked into the grand lobby of the hotel, and Alex followed. A courteous doorman dressed in a tailored uniform welcomed them with a warm smile as he opened the massive double doors for them that led them further into the hotel.Bella and Alex reached the ballroom with no delay, as Bella’s hand was clasped around Alex’s elbow.Along one side of the ballroom, a lavish stage was there, elegantly decorated with lush velvet curtains and adorned with a
With no delay, Neil Young, Ronald’s friend, dialed the emergency service while the others tried to wake Rex, but it was to no avail.“Stay away from him, you bad luck!” Stella spat out, pushing Alex away from Rex’s unconscious body.A few minutes later, an ambulance rushed to the hotel, before rushing Rex into the hospital.The doctors attended to Rex. Meanwhile, Alex returned to his villa since the ambulance rushed to the hospital quickly and he was unable to get the hospital’s name or location. He went to his villa, and the first thing he noticed was Thomas, Evelyn, Ronald, and Stella were also present there.“Foolish kid! You returned to this villa after impersonating Rex’s true heir identity. Aren't you scared of death?” Stella inquired, and Alex sighed.He could not believe everyone would believe Thomas and the DNA test result. He also felt heartbroken, but he walked up the staircase and entered his bedroom, ignoring their glares.To his utmost surprise, Mrs. Vanderbilt, his moth
Alex became speechless, surprised at the sudden slap he was given. Why would Ronald slap him that hard? “How dare you talk back at me, you miserable thing!” Ronald retorted, his voice thundering throughout the villa as Alex became annoyed. Clenching his fists tightly, Alex’s eyes turned red. He didn't want to unleash his anger fueling in him, but Ronald was pushing him to limits that he could not control.“Haha, are you angry? Oh come on, I didn't know trash bags like you get annoyed over true statements,” Ronald uttered sarcastically, intending to mock Alex and make him more annoyed. Instead, Alex calmed himself, reminding himself that Ronald was only treating him badly because Thomas accused him of being an imposter. “Ronald, please. Let’s act more mature here,” Alex spoke softly, hoping Ronald would understand. But instead of that, Ronald flared up.“What do you mean by that?! Do you know what you caused to my engagement party? If Grandma Evelyn didn't plead with the Harrington
