Moira had barely just managed to slide the cocktail glass back in its original place, when a person showed up in front of her, like a genie who had popped up, seemingly out of nowhere.Anybody else would have taken a while to figure out who this person was, who had suddenly appeared in front of Moira… but not Mark. Only half of this person's left profile was visible in the video, and with the club's dark ambience and flashing lighting that moved through a spectrum of purple, red, green, yellow and blue within seconds, it was difficult to discern his features clearly.But even if that specific one fourth of this man's face had not been visible in the video, this was someone Mark could have recognized just by his shadow.Because it was none other than his brother, Matteo Rover. The slant of his wide shoulders was clearly visible under the tan colored linen blazer, and his walk was just the same as he remembered, so was the familiar gesture of him approaching someone with his head held
"How can I trust you two on this, that this video is not morphed? And how can I be assured there is nothing behind this video that you are still trying to hide from us-"Before"We… We can assure you that this video is not morphed, you have our word for it. We are even ready to testify, it's just that… just that-""It's just that we should not be punished for it."Jerry and Simon pleaded their case while joining their hands together in supplication.Cassie was looking at everyone standing there one by one, and was seeing everything going on in front of her.But she was still not able to believe completely on what her eyes were seeing. In just a matter of one day, her entire world had flipped on its head, and she felt numb… as if her head was being submerged underwater by an invisible hand. Somehow, she was still hoping that any moment now, the alarm bell would go off, and she would wake up from her dream to find out that it was all a dream… and nothing else.But the more she was hopi
"Hello, brother!"The moment he received the call, a sharp, shrill, enthusiastic and sweet voice echoed from the other side of the phone.The voice which had the sole power to make Alex forget all his problems for a minute.And he replied;"Yes, my dearest sister! How come you remember the fact that you still have a brother and he is still alive -"And the person interrupted him from finishing his sentence;"Oh, shut up! You are not going to die anytime soon! The Devil is still busy with his work.""What do you mean?" Alex asked, his eyebrows reaching his hairline! "I mean, he doesn't have any spare time to attend to the most wanted person of hell any time in the near future, so shut your mouth and listen to me carefully.""Okay! Okay, my lady! I am listening to you."Alex surrendered, simply because he was smart enough to realize that he did not stand a chance to win against his sister- he never had! "I have signed two movies and will be returning to Lancaster very soon-""You… are
The room was perfectly lit, and every piece of furniture was giving the vibe of someone hailing from old money, living there.In the opulent realm of the family villa, where time seemed to stand still, a grand hall emerged as the heart of that lavish home.This majestic space seamlessly blended modern sophistication of cutting edge technology with the exotic allure of Middle Eastern design, creating an ambiance that whispered of both tradition and taste. Anyone who would enter that magnificent hall would immediately be struck by the awe inspiring grandeur as well as the thoughtfulness of the design. The walls, adorned with intricate patterns, were bathed in soft, warm tones of gold, crimson, and deep azure, exuding a sense of history and timelessness that befitted an old- money aristocrat.Yet, beneath the classical facade, the hall featured modern architectural elements like sleek, floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed natural light to cascade in, casting a gentle glow upon the roo
Alex found Mark humming to himself in the kitchen, while hoarding the food in his plate.It was true that he must be starving as he had left the house early and now it was already late afternoon.He was able to observe the drastic weight loss he had gone through during this period, and how his handsome face had been left with the structure of a skeleton and an outer lining of flesh.But today… today, there was a light of happiness present on that face after so long.And in that moment, he realized that what he was about to do, required much more than just the determination and dedication of saving his friend.But before he could realize what that thing should be, Mark noticed his presence and spoke;"Alex! Are you really sure that you are alright, or has the happiness of becoming an uncle made you so high that you are already full?If this is the case then let me tell you, there is still too much time left and you have to wait for the little one-""Marcus!"A moment of weakness was al
Cassie entered their bedroom after Mark left her at the door, saying that he would be back soon, and locked it from inside. She had already instructed the staff to not disturb her till she was in her room, unless it was Mark himself.She didn't know what her future held in its hands, because her past had shattered her completely with its sharp claws today, leaving deep marks.She still couldn't believe what she had seen through her eyes, and she could not bring herself to believe what she had been about to do because of her family.Did family really behave like this?!This thought appeared in her mind, and tears started rolling down her eyes.She didn't even realize how loudly she had been crying, it was just one realization of pain near her heart that was evident to her.Otherwise, apart from that, everything had gone into oblivion from her point of view.She remembered how welcoming Mark's family had been, how blessed he was to have Alex as his friend… but what did she have in her h
Mark wanted to break everything that was coming in his way, and he wanted to burn everything down- everything that his eyes were seeing! In a single moment, his whole life had turned upside down.He had never imagined that this day would ever come in his life. And now, one single revelation had forced him to question his own life decisions, as well as Mariella's words! Was he the one who had set the board for a twisted game, or was it his wife who was playing on the lead?Fear, anger, disgust, panic… all these contradictory yet complementary emotions were surging inside his chest in tandem, making him nauseous.He wanted to throw up badly… or, at the very least, he wanted to just lie down on any nearest bed he found, and close his eyes… So that the moment he opened his eyes again, everything that had just happened, could be shrugged off as nothing more than a dream.But no matter how badly he wanted this to happen, he knew that none of these things were actually possible.So the be
Mariella Holmes was cursing Cassie and her mother, Eleanor, in her heart, as she had never liked her from the very beginning! There were indeed many secrets hidden in the core of her heart, but she had made sure that none of them ever jumped out of those dark chambers that she kept under lock and key.And with this determination, she had hidden the real reason of why she hated Eleanor from the depths of her soul, but today was different.Today she wanted to see her face willingly for the first time, and tell her how she was a bad omen to everyone who had ever crossed paths with her in their lifetime. And if it wasn't for her shares in their business, then she would never have accepted Eleanor's marriage to her only son.But it was probably the cruel play of destiny, and Mariella had even managed to accept her fate somehow, but that vixen had indeed proved to be a bad omen.Mariella's only son had left the world within two years of their marriage, increasing the intensity with which
