Chapter: AcceptedTwo weeks later,Tiffany was still in the hospital, since she really couldn't go home yet, because of the state of the unborn child. Brent had been the only one visiting her, meanwhile she declined her parents access into her ward and that of every other person, apart from Brent.With Brent being around, she was getting a lot better, happy that he was by her side and sad that her parents left her side when she needed them the most.The day she got discharged, her parents visited, but didn't leave like before, when they were told that Tiffany didn't want to see them. Audrey was persistent and hell bent on seeing her daughter, even though she'd done the worst thing, she couldn't bear to stay away from her, especially now that she was pregnant and expecting a child.Tiffany was asleep when her parents arrived inside the ward, while Brent had already gone out to get some items. As if noticing their presence, Tiffany's eyes fluttered open and traveled in their direction.“Mom, Dad, you're

Chapter: Difficult Decisions Brent gripped his bike handle tightly, his knuckles white with tension, as he raced through the streets, his heart hammering against his chest. The word “accident” kept replaying in his mind, filling him with a sense of horror and dread. He rode faster, weaving through traffic, barely aware of the world around him. When he arrived at the hospital that was mentioned to him over the phone, he parked haphazardly and hurried inside, his eyes scanning frantically for any trace of Audrey or Freudian. He spotted them standing near the reception, with Audrey's face looking distraught and pale while Freudian hugged her close, in an attempt to console her.“Where's she?” He asked, his voice barely above a whisper, as he tried to catch his breath. Audrey looked up, her tear stained face filled with a mixture of fear and anxiety.“She–she’s in ward 125,” she choked out, her voice trembling. “The doctor said she sustained no serious injury, only a few bruises, but–” her voice faltered, unable to

Chapter: Pregnancy resultTwo Months pastTiffany paced around her room, worry and confusion etched on her face. She bit her finger and ruffled her hair, sighing in frustration. It was a month plus, yet she hadn't seen her period, although she didn't feel any symptoms or discomfort but she was extremely bothered. At this point, the only thing she could think of was getting a pregnancy test, her heart trembling at the thought of really being pregnant. With that thought in mind she got dressed and went to the nearest pharmacy store to get a pregnancy kit.When she returned home, none of her parents was around, making her the only person in the house. She went into the washroom and locked herself in, after a few minutes she came out, her eyes blurred with tears.She slumped to the floor, her shoulders trembling violently with each silent sob. The small plastic test kit lay on the sink, glaring at her with the clear and undeniable result. She hugged her knees to her chest, a million thoughts racing through her mi

Chapter: Let's take it slow“Are you okay?” Roman asked, as his gaze was fixed on Andrea, who was struggling with the zipper of her dress.“Uhhm, can you help me with my zip?” She asked, and bit her lips. She couldn't look him in the eyes after what they'd just done a few moments ago. Her face was flushed and she felt shy and embarrassed about it, especially when she was the one that ensued. But he kissed her first. Her thoughts jumped from one scene to another and she didn't hear or notice when Roman said sure and made his way towards her.“Andy.” His deep voice called her out of her thoughts and she flinched, embarrassment washing over her again. “Yes?” “Are you sure you're okay?”“Hmm,” she nodded and turned around.”Here get the zip.” Roman fingers grazed her skin as he reached for the zip, a wave of shiver cursed through her body and she bit her lips harder. It was then that it hit her mind that he had just called her Andy, instead of Andrea. She smiled slightly, her heart dancing in excitement.“Done.” H

Chapter: Roman and Andrea “What's with you not wanting me anywhere close to Brent? He's only your cousin.” Brenda said, her heart twisting with bitterness.Everything had been so good between Brent and her, even their friendship was enviable, but after Tiffany came, he'd totally changed, barely hanging out with her.“I think your ears need some cleaning. I'd told you before, I can't let people like you come close to Brent. Come on, Brenda, you're extreme.”Brent took a deep breath, “Brenda you came to apologize to me right?”“Yes Brent–” she nodded, returning her attention to Brent.“You've apologized right?”She nodded, clutching her purse, her heart warming lightly, as if hoping he would say yes to him this time, but his next words shattered her expectation.“Please, take your leave.”“Brent, I…I..”“Brenda,” Brent called, his voice carrying a hint of warning. “You should know, I dislike repeating myself.”Brenda nodded, after one last glance at him and Tiffany, who resisted the urge to roll her eyes, she tu

Chapter: Brenda's visit It was late in the morning when Brent woke up. He glanced at the other side of the bed, but couldn't find Tiffany, the bed was cold indicating that it had been long she left. He frowned, and called her name thinking she was in the washroom, but there was no response, he frowned and got down from the bed.The other days, when they had a long night from their bedroom activities, he was usually the first to wake up and even prepare breakfast, but this time, he woke up late and didn't find Tiffany on the bed. He went to the washroom himself, but she wasn't there. After washing his face he went down to the living room, and there was still no sign of her.His face contoured in worry, as he decided to check the kitchen, just before he could reach there, a mouth watering and stomach grumbling aroma wafted into his nose, making his stomach rumble in hunger. He smiled, knowing she must be the one cooking, but then again, who taught her how to cook?Tiffany, who had her back turned against the k

Chapter: 52The man in hoodie sped along the road, at a point, he seemed to notice that he was being followed. He glanced at his front mirror, matching his brakes to slow down.But the car he suspected didn't slow down, rather it sped faster, and passed him. He shrugged, convincing himself that he was thinking too much.Just increased the speed of the car and continued at a high speed, just when he was about to cut into a junction, he was cornered by a black Benz. The His screeched louder, as the sound of the Collision against the other was loud and impactful, that he lost control over the car.Before he could regain consciousness, a cold fabric was pressed against his nose, he choked as the heavy scent of nicotine flooded his nostrils. After a series of struggles, he passed out and was carried out from the car.In a not so dark room, a pungent smell of tobacco filled the air, as smoke oozed, flooding the air. The tension inside the room was so thick and heavy, that one wouldn't dare to breathe.

Chapter: 51Morgan was in the doctor's office, he had told Nicholas to go through all his conversation and previous calls.As confused as the doctor was, he couldn't say no to Morgan and let them search his phone. His recent calls showed that he called Olivia earlier that morning.“How come?” Morgan asked, his dark gaze scrutinizing him.It was possible that anyone could bribe the doctor to call Olivia that morning. Morgan knew he was better than that, but right then, Olivia was concerned, the matter was about her.“I swear I know nothing about this call, I didn't call her in the morning.” He defended, shaking his head in refusal.“If so, think very well, did you bump into someone who seems suspicious?” Nicholas chipped in.The doctor paused, his brows knitted slightly as he racked his brains, to recall how his day went.He shook his head, not recalling anything out of place, just then, he remembered something.“All I could remember is bumping into a man, but there's nothing usual about him.

Chapter: 50Olivia's eyes were tied, immediately the ship halted, indicating to have reached their destination. She could hear distant male voices but couldn't make out what they were saying.She was brought to a large and beautiful Villa. It was surrounded by water, as it was the only house which could be found there.The man who adopted her, brought her into a room, after which he untied her, including her eyes.Olivia glanced at him, hatred seething from her heart. “You could've just left me all tied up, what's the need of untying me. Petty adopter.” She hissed, looking away.The man slammed the door and left, Ignoring her words, even though it did make him feel bitter.Olivia's eyes scanned the room as she took in the elegant and expensive decor of the room. If a kidnapper could keep her in a room like that, then they really weren't going to harm her or maybe it was her extravagant thinking.The room was whitish, as everything in the room screamed of brightness.

Chapter: 49Olivia crouched down behind her door, her tears rolling down her cheeks as she wiped them.She was in the delusion that things were smoothening out and turning out well, between her and Morgan, but it turned out to be extravagant thinking.Morgan's words alone were enough to wake her up from any kind of trance she was in. Now that she understood that he's doing everything because of the contract, which would end some years later.Olivia vowed to shake off every feeling that was growing deep inside her, be it his act of tenderness and care, she was going to act ignorant of it, until their Contract was over.She was still in her thoughts, when she slept off.Later, in the morning when Olivia woke up, she found herself in Morgan's room, but he wasn't there and the bed was cold, indicating he's been gone for a long time.Olivia got up immediately, her eyes darting around the room as it stopped on the wall clock to check the time.She still couldn't believe how she ended up in his room.

Chapter: 48Olivia woke up with a splitting headache and uncomfortable ache which cursed through her body, especially down there.She slowly sat up, only to find out that she was tucked into Morgan's robe, and then images from last night flooded into her head.Olivia gasped, covering her mouth as her face turned bright red. She still couldn't believe that she had sex with Morgan.Thank goodness, he wasn't in the room, if not Olivia didn't know how to face him. She grabbed her phone to check the time, it was almost midday.Gosh, did she really sleep that long?Anyways, it was somehow good, as she didn't get to see Morgan, else she didn't know what to do or how to behave. **Redcrest High collage**“Oh my God! Olly you need to see how everywhere was crowded with wealthy socialites.

Chapter: 47“Son, we need to act fast, Morgan would surely get Gilbert's approval, once he tells him about the cooperation with Marco.” Cecilia pointed out, pacing around the room as she racked her brain for ideas.“I think it's time I use the other method. I can't be under Morgan, never!” Xavier challenged through gritted teeth.Xavier decided to call Mr Marco's number for the nth time, he's been calling him and his number wasn't getting through.After one ring, his line went through. A deep and matured voice answered.“Hello, Mr Marco?”“Who's this?” The man asked.“It's Xavier Gilbert. I thought we had a deal and you promised to cooperate with me, by buying a share from my company and to help me establish a branch in America. What happened?” “I'm sorry, but the only Gilbert I know is Morgan Gilbert. I don't think I've talked with you before.”“What? Didn't you send your assistants to me, to come represent you, since you couldn't make it?” Xavier asked, getting furious, not confused.“You've g

Chapter: NADIANADIAThe house felt like a hollow shell without Luciano. For a month, he had left without a word, leaving me to wonder if it was because of that night. Although I still bore the scars, not on my body, but deep in my heart, and everytime i passed his closed bedroom door, the memory of his drunken rage haunted me.Yet, there was a part of me that couldn’t help but yearn for him, a part of me that couldn’t let go. Something in his eyes that night had looked broken,desperate and betrayed, and that’s what made it so hard to resent him fully.With Luciano gone, it was easier going outside, venturing beyond the walls of the mansion, although his men never ceased to follow me around wherever I went, but they gave me breathing space. On one of those outings, I met Damon, the man from the restaurant.I had just finished walking through a local bookstore, holding on to the small bag of novels, when he appeared. “Hi Nadia, we met again.” he smiled softly, waving at me.I waved back and looked a

Chapter: AUTHOR AUTHORLuciano's anger was triggered by his father and brother, at his mother's memorial service.A day Ago,Luciano stood at the vast, ornate hall where his mom's memorial service was being held. His jaw was clenched so tightly that it ached. He knew that behind the facade of those gathered belied the insincerity of their whisper. Not any one of them had a single sympathy for the woman who they claimed to mourn, they only cared about their power, appearance and no one was more obvious to flaunting those than Luciano's father, Silas Moterno.Dressed proudly in a black suit, Silas held court at the center of the room, a picture of a grieving widower. His words were laced with honey, his demeanor composed, yet the sight of him filled Luciano with fury and hatred, so intense it made his vision blur. Silas, standing tall, had stolen everything from Luciano, his mother, his childhood, Damon, and every semblance of his peace.Luciano's hand clenched tightly into fists by his sides, his rag

Chapter: NADIANADIAI was already done with the business files Jeff returned home. I'd told him to increase it a bit more which he did, working on this file for a while. I could only say that Luciano was intelligent and professional with the dealings of his company. Time flew by and it was night already. Luciano wasn't home yet, so I returned to my room. Later in the night, I woke up because I was having a nightmare. Amidst my thoughts, I heard slow, and unsteady footsteps approaching my room, before I could react, the door burst open, revealing Luciano's imposing figure.He staggered through the door, muttering under his breath. The heavy whiff of alcohol followed, consuming the air, as soon as he walked into the room.Was he drunk? I frowned and got up to help him. “Luciano, are you okay?” I asked, for some reason, feeling deeply worried.He laughed, a bitter, hollow sound. “Am I okay?” his words slurred, his voice mocking. “Why wouldn't I be? My family's circus, my brother's snake, my father,

Chapter: NADIANADIAI still couldn't believe that Luciano would murder my adoptive parents and take Vanessa. Why didn't he kill Vanessa also? The more I thought about it, the more confusing it was. If I hadn't seen him kill Sophia, maybe I wouldn't believe it, but I was there when he killed Sophia.Logan might be my Ex and the last person I'd ever want to talk to, but he couldn't make up such a lie. He was sure about what he was saying, even over the phone.There's a way to find out.Luciano was in his study, when I went up to him. I wouldn't lie, I was scared, I was afraid, the courage I had managed to gather, all faltered in the face of his intense gaze.“This is my study, not your room.” “Luciano, did you kill my adoptive parents?” He paused what he was doing and turned to look at me. His gaze darkened, a flicker of surprise dancing in his stormy eyes, as he took a deliberate step towards me. His calm demeanor only served to heighten the tension in the air.“Who told you that?” he asked, his

Chapter: NADIA NADIADespite Luciano's normal attitude, I still couldn't shake off the sight of Sophia's dead body. Few days back, he returned home very late and I happened to go to the living room to retrieve my phone which I left there earlier. The first thing I heard was hurried steps, I hid to see who it was, only to find out it was Luciano's men, Jeff and Luke. They were heading to his room. Their faces etched with worry, but what caught my attention was the blood stains on their hands.Once they had gone a very good distance, I made sure to not make any noise and followed them. The door was slightly opened and I could hear whatever they were saying. Luciano seemed to be deeply hurt, his voice was laced with pain, yet rage. He had a clash with his brother and some other groups, I didn't quite remember their names. It was because of Sophia's death. They'd attacked him, to eliminate him. At this point, I needed no more evidence or words to believe that Luciano was a Mafia boss and did shady bus

Chapter: NADIA NADIA By the time I was awake, Luciano was already gone. After what happened in his study, he had come to the room last night, and only let me be, when it was already daybreak. I could remember that, plus when he cleaned me up and applied some ointment. Cleaning me up after intercourse, was something he never forgot to do, after which he'll tuck me back to sleep.The workload Jeff returned home was getting lesser each day. I'll have to remind him to bring back more work. Later, while I was watching a TV show in the living room, an idea popped into my mind. The sudden thought of it only made my heart race, since no one was at home, and Luciano might not find out, I headed to his study room. Maybe I could find something that'll give me more clue about who he really is, or what exactly he was into. I went into his study, checking out every document I saw there. I had no knowledge that there was a device installed in the office, which would notify him when someone apart from him went i

Chapter: unexpected reunion FIVE YEARS LATERThe bustling airport terminal was alive with the sounds of announcements, luggage rolling against the floor and the chatters of travelers. Amelia walked gracefully and majestically through the crowd, a calm yet unassuming expression on her face. She wore a pink coat, over a soft white blouse, paired with dark jeans, mini skirt and ankle boots. Her long brown hair flowed in loose waves over her shoulders, her eyes, though softer now, carried a hint of resolve. She was more beautiful, womanly and graceful.Walking beside her, holding tightly onto her hand, was a little boy with unruly dark hair and striking ocean eyes, a perfect replica of Matteo Lior.“Mommy, I want an ice cream, can I get one after we leave here?” the boy asked, his voice charming and cheerful, curious as he glanced around the massive terminal.Amelia looked down at him and her gaze softened, “Yeah sure, I'll get one for you, only if you behave. First, we need to grab our bags and meet granny Celia.”

Chapter: Find her!Weeks later, Weeks passed into a haze of grief, anger and resentment. Amelia barely ate or slept, her once-bright spirit crushed under the weight of betrayal. Her mind is restless and unfocused.One morning, she woke up with a wave of nausea that left her clutching the bathroom sink. Something was wrong.After a visit to a doctor, Amelia confirmed her worst nightmare. She was two weeks pregnant. The news left her dumbfounded, her hands trembling violently as she held the test results. She thought back to that night at the bar, a night with a man whose name she didn't know, whose face she can't remember.As she stepped into the house, clutching the envelope tightly, Valencia, out of nowhere, snatched it away from her hand.“Care to share what's in the envelope?” She laughed, moving away from Amelia. Opening the envelope she frowned in curiosity, “What's this?” she asked, her eyes scanning the envelope. Her eyes widened, and then a wicked grin spread across her face.Amelia swallowed t

Chapter: Messed upIn a spacious and luxurious suite, Amelia woke up with a hangover, her head pounding like a relentless drum, and her body wrapped in unfamiliar sheets. She knitted her brows in confusion, her throat dried, her vision blurred, but the ache in her chest was what really brought her back to reality. Memories from last night flooded into her head like a storm, the betrayal, the bar, the drinks, and….him.She quickly darted her eyes to the bed, to his muscular arm wrapped around her waist firmly, his back facing her and she couldn't see his face properly. Her memory of him from last night, very vague, she didn't want to face him either, knowing it was her reckless attitude that got them here. Pausing her lips into a deep thin line, she slowly moved his arms and wiggled her waist out of his hold.She sat up slowly, every movement, sharp and painful, her mind replaying images from the previous night – his sweet and intoxicating scent, the warmth of his arms, his kiss, the kiss that melted her

Her footsteps slowed as she approached Liam's room, a sudden, inexplicable feeling of horror cursing through her body. The closer she got, the more the chaotic mess of clothes on the floor caught her eye, feminine clothes, lingeries, heels, purse, thrown carelessly, all of them leading her to one door— Liam's room.Her breath hitched, as she stopped in her tracks, her mind racing wildly. No. This can't be happening.Liam had been working late for days, as there was much work in the company, and he drowned himself in his business. He shouldn't be home yet, he was supposed to be in the office right now, she thought. She had planned this evening so carefully, wanting it to be perfect for him, for them, after all it was both their anniversary and his birthday. She had wanted to surprise him with a special night, to show him how much she cared, how much she loved and appreciated
