Chapter: Light To My Path... ISABEL It happened in an instant. A deafening and sudden explosion, "POP!" It felt like my soul was drawn out of my body. It was like the sharp sound of a gunshot. It shook even the foundations of the courthouse vehemently. "Isabel! Get down at once!" my stepfather's voice boomed from the back. But before I could do anything else, someone swooped in, grasping my waist and pulling me down. His steps faltered, and we both tumbled to the floor while I landed on his bleeding body. I gazed down in horror as blood gushed from his upper limb, his face contorted in agony as he clutched the wound. Everything went blurry, and I collapsed, unsure if I'd passed out or left this world behind. **** Third Person POV As Isabel and Mavis shared a desperate embrace, Jason's men burst in, flooding the courthouse with loaded guns. Jason had promised to pay them off if they succeeded together. They descended upon the courthouse by a hired helicopter, his heavily armed team catching t

Chapter: Chapter 132: In Good Time Third Person POV Isabel shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "No, Mavis, that's not what happened. She slipped and fell on her own, and then she tried to ruin my dress with wine. She's just trying to cause trouble." Mavis's expression turned cold as he gazed at Estelle, "You don't need to cry, my love," he said, turning to Isabel and taking her hand. "The cameras will clear your name. Look, there's the broken glass of red wine, proof of her actions." Estelle's face contorted in anguish as she screamed, "You believe her? Why don't you ever listen to me? I was only sipping my wine when she pushed me!" Mavis's eyes fell on Estelle once more, "Congratulations, Estelle. Your jealousy has cost you dearly. You've lost your place and respect as a part of the Mulan family. You never deserved to bear our name. I'll call a doctor to tend to you, and then the police will take you away to serve your sentence. You're no longer welcome here." "Please, Mavis, don't call the polic

"Jason, did I ask you to wait until after the wedding?" She asked over the phone."Yes," Jason replied, "You did, are you under pressure? I can hardly hear you." Moments earlier, she'd received a shocking instruction. She was to remain confined to the house, restricted from stepping out until the wedding was over. The reason was clear, Matilda mustn't see her. According to Isabel, her mother would worry that sh

Chapter: Chapter 130: The PlotThird Person POV Soon after Bennett left, Estelle settled into the living room sofa, engaged in a conversation with Jason. "Did you not tell me that he lost his job?" Jason continued, "yet he resides in a Beverly Hills mansion? How did he achieve that?" "Maybe Isabel helped him, you know she has a big business now." "Her business is barely a month old, and I doubt her funds could afford even a single room in Beverly Hills," Jason replied. "I suspect Mr. Mulan must have provided financial assistance to Mavis. But if it's Isabel, what about her employees, will she even pay them?" "Hmph! That's none of our business, we should make our move when Isabel is alone, but be warned, the estate is heavily guarded by vigilant security personnel." "Don't worry, I have a team of thugs who'll take care of her until she miscarries," Jason said grinning over the phone as he thought of the pain he would be inflicting on his ex-turned-enemy. "Yes!" Estelle concurred, "She should lose her b

Chapter: Chapter 129: Identity Revealed Third Person POV Bennett's gaze was riveted on the sentences displayed on the card: "...for the Midtown Group." The logo accompanying the text seemed familiar. Mavis, oblivious to Bennett's sudden fascination, stood upright and said, "Alright, let me get a maid to show Estelle to her quarters." "I'll be with you shortly," he added, but Bennett's attention remained fixed on the identity card as he retreated. Bennett sat there, astonished, her mind reeling with possible interpretations of what she had just seen around Mavis' neck. Isabel called her name for the third time, snapping her back to reality. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I was just... umm..." Bennett stuttered. "What's wrong?" Isabel asked, noticing Bennett's distraction. "Your husband-to-be..." Bennett started, trying to form a coherent sentence. "Yes, what about him?" Isabel asked, becoming interested in her weird reaction. "Where does he work?" Bennett inquired. "Nowhere, currently. I told you, he's living off h

Chapter: Chapter 128: Tug of War 1Third Person POV "You're not just evil, you're the devil herself!" Bennett exclaimed, her voice trembling with rage while Estelle laughed hysterically. "Of course, I am. Are you just realizing that?" She raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over Isabel and Bennett. Bennett turned to Isabel, "Listen, I know how you feel, but since you signed up for this, don't let her win." She urged. Isabel whispered back, "You mean I should kill her?" Her eyes darted to Estelle, who seemed to be enjoying the exchange." "No, but don't let her swing you around like a pendulum. Stand your ground, Isabel." As Mavis descended the stairs, his eyes scanned the room, taking in the tense atmosphere. His gaze landed on Bennett, and he understood that she could be tamed if ever she was upset about Isabel reuniting with him. But when his eyes met Estelle's, he was enraged. "Why are you here, Estelle?" Mavis demanded. Estelle smiled sweetly, her hand caressing her belly. "Where did you think Ju

Chapter: Chapter 170: EpilogueJust like every other woman, I also fell in love because I needed to feel what others felt too.I may be pretentious when it comes to revealing my emotions but why would I begin to expose such delicate pieces of information to a man? Nay, I can't. It's quite difficult and unnecessary.I'm secretive, yes, I am and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Jayden was a good man who didn't deserve to die. After going miles for me? He deserved to survive and watch me pay back his every coin though he didn't do it for a pay.You see Jason? He is every woman's dream man and I loved the billionaire since the day we met. When at Caravan Park, our eyes got locked in a stare and I found it difficult to pull away. Yes, that was where the magic happened! It was how I realized that I was never getting away from him.It was either he casted a spell on me or the reverse was the case because we watched each other's faces like umm... Never mind, we watched just as humans that we are.He looked like a rare Mr. Perf

Chapter: Chapter 169: ... the TWINKLING of an eyeGerald*His guards were useless or maybe he had asked them to remain calm. They stood with their useless guns pointed at me.Was that to scare me off?I wonder why he didn't tell them that he had joined an agency of The brotherhood at Highschool and it made him a part of us.He used to be our armourer and he had the potential of splitting a man up into two halves simply with his bare hands but he was under restraint.Sadly, he began to embrace civility after he graduated from Highschool. We lost him and we missed him but today was no day for mercy.A treasonist did not need to go scot-free. "You want to fight me as an equal?" I asked him upon seeing that he still got the trait of a fighter in him. "These few years you have not trained, you stopped at level five are you sure you want to do this?"He nodded at me and I gave him a grin. "I'm without my war robes, so, discard yours if you are in," He threatened me."Jason?""Gerald, it's me daring you now." His eyes were bloodshot.I tu

Chapter: Chapter 168: An Attack!Jason* "I will take care of the baby, don't think of getting rid of it. I will nurture him or her as my own child, it's the best way to apologize right?" She ran toward me and hugged me tightly. "Thank you so much, I love you." A gunshot went into the air twice or was it in the air? C'ause immediately after it was a shout and men running helter-skelter for help. I perceived danger. The hotel was under an attack, my enemies had finally had their way into my personal lodge. I went out of the toilet to see what exactly was going on and then I spotted my worst enemy, he had just engaged in a fist exchange with the Chief Security Officer and overthrew him. Wait did he just overthrow him? Then we were so so dead! What? I screamed in despair upon remembering that Oscar had taken off with Lisa as soon as they got the message I sent to them. He was my most trusted guard, now I was defenseless but I knew I must protect Jasmine. I returned to the bed to meet a worried pretty lady stari

Chapter: Chapter 167: I..I.. had an affai...Jason*My mother-in-law, Mrs. Smith kept compelling us over the phone to pay her a visit because she had prepared something very beautiful for us."Something beautiful? My stepmom prepared something beautiful? That woman is another person we must avoid," My wife said to me."She was so penitent, my love and I believe that she's being real."My wife let out an outburst of laughter and shook her head, "I hope you didn't give her any information of our whereabouts?""I didn't, we just got talking recently.""You gave her your number?" She popped out her eyes in fear. "No, I didn't. I wonder how she got it." I said as I began to search my phone. "Here's her digits, see if you can recognize the number," I asked putting the phone across to her."Sadly, I have never stored her codes in my phone and I would never do such."I chuckled and we got seated around the dining table. "I planned on sending Oscar and Lisa away to be alone at least for a week and afterward pay them off if they want to

Have I told you how tough I can be?""You show that to me every time during coitus but hey, did you say eight months?"Jason burst out laughing on hearing her first statement."I'm glad I married you, you are just amazing. Yes, eight months only, we were in an incubator for a while.""Woah. That's alright.
