I recorded everything so that you can't deny it even if you try," he teased as he held the cellphone up to show her."Ava's face turned a deeper shade of scarlet when she saw her uninhibited self in the video. She could hardly believe her eyes."It... It's because I was drugged! Otherwise, I won't behave like that!" She defended herself and pinched James' arm hard in protest."Is that right?" He smiled naughtily again, amused by her flustered reaction. "But, I'm not complaining, though. This is the first time that we made love so passionately," he looked into her eyes and said.Ava glared at him and studied the video closely. "Look at you, why did you behave so ungentlemanly? You manhandled me! She pouted. "So don't accuse me of taking the initiative. You're the biggest bully, she complained."Manhandle?" James sighed and explained, "I wanted to he gentle, but you insisted that I...""Shut up! Ava immediately covered his mouth with her hand, fearing that he would divulge all the embar
The light was suddenly turned on the dark room like a warning signal of danger looming ahead.As the footsteps approached, the black sacks laying on the ground started moving about, trembling with fear.James say down on a chair in the middle of the room like a domineering king.He gestured at Daniel, the latter ordered his men immediately," open the sack!"All four sacks were untied simultaneously, revealing the captives within.They were Allen Bailey Oliver Cooper, Lia Campbell and Iyke.Their hands and feet were tied behind their backs, and their mouth sealed with adhesive tapes.They widened their eyes were they saw James.Lia, in particular was stunned in disbelief.James Miller?How could it be him?"He was just a deputy CEO at the Life Long Group. How did he managed to kick up such a fuss."Mmmm... Lia struggled to speak but it was muffled cause of the adhesive tape over her mouth."Let them speak!" James ordered.The tapes were removed immediately."Are you out of your mind, J
All five of them were about to get nervous breakdown at gunpoint.Bates in particular had passed on the floor. He had been locked up and tortured in a cell for the past two days.He gave up any hope of leaving the cruise ship alive."Take him away!" James gestured with his gun and ordered.It was pitch black on the high sea at this time of the night. The sky and sea appeared to have merged as one. It would be a clinch to kill and throw someone overboard without leaving a trace."Are... Are you going to..." Oliver asked in a trembling voice."Don't worry, you would be next!" James pointed the gun at him and said."James.... I beg you..." Allen was on his knees begging for mercy like a dog. "I am sorry, it's all my fault! Please forgive me for the sake of Ava. I'm her cousin after all," he cried aloud as he kneeled down."I promise you... I will not fight with Ava for the family business anymore. I... I will also ask grandpa to hand over the Bailey Group to her. I beg you to let me go,.
They were delirious with want and their bodies felt very hot.Oliver Cooper and Allen Bailey rolled on the floor in agony, pulling desperately at their collars, trying to loosen them.Lia Campbell chewed on her lower lip. She had bitten it so much it was red and swollen. She tried her best to hang onto her last thread of restraint, but it was a losing battle. She could feel her emotions spiraling out of control.Her entire body was hot.Landon watched as the three of them were writhed, their urges uncontrollable. He said, "Unbind them all.""Daniel," Landon said with a smirk, "I brought some interesting things."Interesting things?" Daniel asked with a frown. "What kind of things?" Bring them here. Landon ordered with a jerk of his chin, one of his men soon brought a black bag to him.Opening the bag, Daniel saw that it was filled with ropes and restraint, shaking his head he said,."Forget it, Mr Miller only wanted them to have a taste of their own medicine and get back at them for wh
Turner Bailey had no choice but to reveal the liaison between Lia Campbell and the Bailey siblings to Jackson Bailey in order to save his son."Idiots, plain fools!" Jackson Bailey swept everything in the table in a rage on the floor, sending the tray and all the coffee cups to the floor."Dad, Allen did it out of desperation. He was demoted again and again in the company. So... Turner wanted to explain but was silenced by Jackson."How dare you still find excuses for his deeds?" Jackson furiously landed punches on Turner with his cane. "You have no idea how much Harmony Hotel means to the Bailey Group."I spent countless effort to persuade James Miller to have the auction at Harmony Hotel just to increase the popularity and influence of our hotel."Life Long Group did not reject the excellent offer from exhibition center and help promote our hotel with no benefits to his own company for an old man like me. He did it for Ava.""Not only did you not help and failed to show your coopera
Bastard!" Wallace Hall roared furiously as he thumped his cane carved with a dragon head on the floor, "How dare you call me by my name?"Wallace Hall was the chairman of Hall empire.The Hall specialized in the furniture industry and was one of the most respectable families of HonorGrave.The Bailey Group used to be just a small real estate business that Wallace Hall wouldn't even spare a second thought on. Had his daughter Grace Bailey not insisted on marrying from there, he would have never agreed to that marriage. Even after the business successful expansion over the years, Bailey Group was nowhere close to Hall empire in comparison.When Wallace Hall knew of his grandson arrest and that he was now behind bars, he immediately went to Pedro Villa demanding to have his grandson, Allen Bailey back.Jackson Bailey had no choice but to blame everything on James Miller, knowing that he was no match for Wallace Hall.Besides that, Jackson find James to be too outstanding for a young man
It doesn't matter what he did." Wallace Hall, who had always spoiled his grandchildren, blatantly argued, "It would be up to the Bailey to decide on his punishment, be it scolding or penalty. Outsiders shouldn't interfere."Grandpa." Ava Miller pushed her mother away and bowed low towards Jackson Bailey, "please do me justice.""Ha..." Grace Bailey scorned, "My son is being locked up behind bars, now you are the one seeking justice?Ava had always been a sensible child in Jackson's eyes. Moreover, he would appear too cowardly in front of his family if he still refused to take his stand against Wallace Hall's aggressiveness."Ava." Jackson went over and help Ava up. He said solemnly, "Tell me everything."Wallace fumed at Jackson changed of behavior, " Jackson Bailey!" But this time Jackson did not endure in silence.Wallace Hall, I think you should know that you are in Pedro Villa, and this is Bailey family matter. An outsider like you shouldn't interfere in the Bailey family's matter
Following a loud screech of brakes, James rushed out of the car to find Ava held like a prisoner by two bodyguards.Grace kept slapped Ava across the face, looking like a malicious devil."Go to hell!" James dashed forward and leapt into the air and kicked grace several feet away.Her back knocked intensely against the fence, dizzy she lost her balance and fell into the pond close by.Before the two bodyguards knew it, they were punched in the face, stunned they stumbled a few step away, removing their hands from Ava."Ava." As he gaze at his wife whose face was swollen from the beating, his heart ached for her. "I'm sorry I'm late.""James." Ava shook her head slightly. Looking at the blood at the corners of her mouth, James felt a pang of heart wrenching pain."They..." Ava, who was on the verge of death, pointed her fingers at the crowd who was closing in on them.Looking at his wife's injuries, he took a deep breath, fury rising from the bottom of his heart like a raging storm.He
