CHAPTER 114: UNEXPECTED NEWS.Nicholas was playing in the living room when, with a curious expression, he asked, "Mommy, when will Daddy be back?"Isabella, trying to hide the dissatisfaction she felt inside, forced a smile and replied, "Today, honey. Daddy went to take care of some business."Although she smiled, her heart was full of discontent. She had agreed with Louis and didn't want Sebastian to travel, but he had ignored her and left anyway.Coraline, concerned, took the opportunity to ask, "Have you heard anything about Inesa?"The question immediately made Isabella tense up. "No, not yet. The police say she disappeared from the city, so... we still have to live with that lunatic out there."At that precise moment, one of the maids approached respectfully, "Ma'am, someone wants to see you."Isabella frowned, doubtful. "Who?"The maid hesitated before answering, "It's... it's Mr. Davenport.""Elijah? Is he here?""Well, outside. The bodyguards won't let him in."Isabella stood

CHAPTER 113: I WILL PROTECT THEM.Sebastian answered on the second ring."Love...""Sebastian, you need to come to the hospital. It's urgent. Nicholas... someone tried to hurt him," said Isabella, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and rage."What?! What are you talking about?" asked Sebastian, clearly alarmed."It was Inesa. I'm sure it was her," Isabella responded, almost in a whisper.Sebastian looked at Rodrik, and his eyes turned furious."I'm coming, honey. Don't leave without me," Sebastian ordered before hanging up.Once he did, he put away his phone and approached Rodrik menacingly; the officers were still in the boardroom."Your daughter went too far this time, Rodrik," Sebastian pointed at him. "And if she dares to come near my family again, I'll kill her myself.""Mr. Ashford, I advise you to..." one of the officers began."I don't need your advice," he interrupted. "You should go and find that crazy psychopath.""We will, Mr. Ashford, you and your family...""Don't bo

CHAPTER 112: A DANGEROUS WOMAN.The boardroom was plunged into a deathly silence. Everyone present watched the officer with incredulity."Murder?""Yes, Mr. Philips, we found evidence linking your daughter to the deceased," said the officer firmly.Rodrik shook his head, disbelief painted on his face."No, there must be a mistake... my daughter wouldn't be capable of something like that.""Well, that will have to be proven in front of a judge. Now, please, we need you to tell us her whereabouts. She needs to be brought to the police station for her statement," insisted the officer.Tension took hold of Rodrik. Everything he was experiencing felt like a nightmare, the most horrible of all.He recalled his daughter's call."Dad, I'm going to be out of town for a few days. But you have to do something, Sebastian is lying. He most likely wants to get me out of the company."Rodrik began to think that Inesa's sudden trip had an explanation."Mr. Philips, are you listening?" The officer sna

CHAPTER 111: SUSPECTED OF MURDER."Then, you didn't know anything?" asked Isabella, with a mix of incredulity and concern.Lucy, looking at her friend with an expression of shame and surprise, responded vehemently:"Of course not! Elijah never said anything, although I had heard something about Gemma and her crush on him. But this took me by surprise, just like you."Isabella sighed deeply and shook her head."Well, your cousin was very cruel to her, he said things... so harsh... I never thought Elijah could be like that," confessed Isabella."Neither did I," admitted Lucy, her tone soft but laden with sadness. "But... if it's any consolation, Gemma asked him for a divorce, so... Elijah won't hurt her again.""They're getting divorced?" Isabella seemed astonished by the news."Yes, before they returned to New York, I went to the hospital, she told me herself, and she sounded very determined.""Well, I think that's good; no woman should accept being humiliated like that," affirmed Isab

"CHAPTER 110: HUMILIATION"Inesa's heart was pounding furiously in her chest, and she had a bad feeling. On the other hand, Isabella was determined to end everything that very night. She wasn't going to let Inesa continue harming their lives."Do you want to know the truth? Well, I will show you the truth," she said, turning around and entering the house.Meanwhile, Inesa tried to fight her last battle. She looked at Coraline with pitiful eyes and sobbed."Coraline, how can you… how can you allow this? I thought… that you would support me. For years you said I should marry Sebastian and now you allow this?!"Coraline shook her head slightly and handed the baby to the nanny."Yes, I admit it. At first, I considered you the ideal wife for my son, but I was also clear and asked you to abandon the idea of being Sebastian's wife when Isabella came into his life. Even so, you didn't listen, Inesa, so… there's nothing I can do for you."Inesa clenched her hands, her nails digging into her fl

"CHAPTER 109: CONFRONTATION"All the guests started murmuring. Coraline was in disbelief, Roger was speechless, Nicholas was in denial, unable to accept that he would have a sibling with the woman he despised so much. But Sebastian, Sebastian was about to explode with rage. The blood in his veins felt like liquid fire burning every cell in his body; his only desire was to wrap his hands around Inesa's neck and squeeze until she stopped breathing.However, and to everyone's surprise, Isabella was completely calm, very strange, considering she was the most wronged. Inesa had just thrown in her face that she was going to have a child, right when they had just reconciled. So she stepped away from Sebastian and walked directly toward her. When she stopped, Inesa gave her a victorious smile, full of excessive arrogance."Aren't you surprised? It seems Sebastian didn't waste any time during your separation, Isabella. He found solace with me and well…" once again, Inesa placed a hand on her b

Valentina's part-time job late at night is at a convenience store. She usually works shifts at night.Although the store is not large, it is located in an affluent section near the "Black Rose," which is the most luxurious town, so the business makes a good profit.It was eight-thirty when Valentina arrived."Rick, sorry I'm late." She hurried into the store to change into her uniform."It's okay, no problem, Val " Rick James, the boss's son, has always held Valentina in high regard " It's not that late."Next time, I'll be on time," he promised, clasping his hands together in a sign of, please."Ha ha ha ha ... Okay," the boy nodded, laughing at the girl's pitiful appearance.After getting dressed, Valentina asked him, "By the way, where is your father?""He has something important to do today, so he won't be coming; why do you ask? Do you have something to talk to him about? " she asked curiously."Uh... If anything, so..." Valentina decided on the way. Today she would give up the s

"Wait a minute" Before entering the place, Nathan pulled an exquisite little red box out of his pocket. "Put it on."Valentina opened the box, and a simple but expensive wedding ring appeared. For a moment, Valentina was puzzled but realized it was part of the contract and quietly put the call on her finger.After putting it on, Valentina entered the room with a smile.Nathan was in the middle, with Valentina to his left and Jacob to his right.Flashes were hitting in all directions toward the three people seated at the table."First of all, we welcome all media friends and journalists to this conference," Nathan said in a deep voice."Today is the premiere conference of our new project. The love between you and me. At the same time, I also want to take this opportunity to announce my recent marriage."Nathan took Valentina's hand and stood up with her."Gentlemen, my wife, Valentina Miller of Mercer. I hope everyone is happy and bless our union."The thunderous applause in the hall wa

Nathan deliberately took Valentina from the 32nd floor to the 31st and then to the 30th."Why don't you take the elevator? "she was pretty uncomfortable under everyone's gaze. Not to mention that the five-centimeter heels were killing her."Of course, it's so everyone can meet you. "Nathan smiled slightly and whispered ambiguously, "Smile, Mrs. Mercer."Valentina felt her face heat up, and her heart palpitations get out of control.Oh my goodness, look, it's really manager Miller.Yes, she is beautiful and is a good match for the president.There was a lot of whispering along the way.Nathan purposely slowed down when they reached the PR department and asked Valentina."Say goodbye to your former colleagues."She stepped forward feeling nostalgic; here were some of her friends. She looked around. She was surrounded by everyone."Valentina, when were you planning to tell us?""When did you marry the president?"She was a lovely woman, Laura Brown Valentina's colleague."Well... we actu

Valentina endured the pressure in her heart, reached the president's office, and knocked on the door, trembling."Come in."She exhaled heavily and entered the president's office with a feigned smile."President. " Valentina smiled and stepped forward, showing the best attitude " This morning... I'm so sorry... I thought you blamed me for eating your breakfast."Valentina pulled out the service she had just bought. "I bought this for him. I don't know what she usually eats. I eat this in the morning. Haven't you eaten yet? Eat it while it's hot."Nathan stared at her with an arched eyebrow. Then he looked at the breakfast in his hand, showing an affronted expression."What's that? You think I eat this kind of food?""Uh... " Valentina bit her lip in embarrassment. She felt very aggrieved. She wanted to remedy this morning's mistake. She barely smiled and asked, "Sir, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you.""No need. "Nathan waved his hand and told her to leave. "Go away; you ha

"There are a few more rules I want you to know," Nathan dropped his hand and raised his eyebrows."Rules?""Yes," leaned against the black leather chair, "I'm not allowed to go to my room; I don't move my things, I don't dirty my studio, and the elements of the rooms can't be changed. Is that clear?"She was stunned. "What was I supposed to do? Should I stay in a corner for a year?""I understand" Valentina nodded in complete shock."Valentina, be more careful with the deals you make. You've married a lunatic."Nathan observed the disgusted expression on his face; she must probably be insulting him inwardly. I gave you this set of rules because there's no need for you both to make this a real home. Your contract has a deadline. You shouldn't risk getting it wrong."Do you have anything to say?""No, nothing at all" She shook her head."Who dares question her? If she does, then she must be crazy."I walked to the living room, sat cross-legged on the couch, turned on the TV, and relaxe

For the past two days, Valentina has been preparing for his transfer.Not everything could have flown slightly if not for another affair scandal, the star actor of the company. ‘Jacob Philips’.She was looking at the different entertainment pages of the day, and the big headline ‘The popular actor Jacob Philips is photographed drunk in a club, next to a well-known model’ her photos occupied the entire page.Valentina jumped out of anger; she really couldn’t help it; it was a fact. “Why are men so lustful?”Immersed in her thoughts, I do not hear the slight steps behind her.“What are you doing?” The soft male voice suddenly scared her.“Ah!”He was so surprised that he almost fell from the chair; he was ashamed of his pale face.“Can you warn me? You scared me to death?”Nathan raised an eyebrow and didn’t say a word. Of course, he wouldn’t follow his orders.Valentina looked at him, feeling inexplicable that the air pressure throughout the room was much lower. She muttered cautiously
