Chapter: Chapter 106 - The surprise!The two siblings paced to and fro in the waiting room. Their expression held nothing but anxiety as they prayed silently in their hearts for everything to go well.Lillian's mother wasn't excluded. She was called to the hospital immediately Bella and her brother, Don, suspected that Lillian was in labor. Luckily, Mrs. Blake was around the area at that time, so she followed them to the hospital.It had been over an hour since Lillian was taken into the delivery room, and there's been no news from the doctors in charge.This continued for a few minutes until they all sighted the doctor heading their way, and they rushed to him immediately.“Congratulations. She has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.” The doctor voiced out immediately with a light smile.Their once worried look brightened instantly with smiles lingering on their lips.Finally, Bella spoke out with so much enthusiasm, “Can we see them now?”“Of course, you can see them. Come with me.”They all followed the doctor to Lill

Chapter: Chapter 105 - Months Later.....“Ughh, how tasteless can this be?” Lillian chimed in a loud voice that caught everyone's attention.All eyes were shot at her, with only Bella's having the courage to remain on her, unlike the maids who immediately continued what they were doing.Bella's gaze instantly raised a question when she glanced up from her phone.“These are no fun to take! It's really tasteless.” Lillian continued to whine and this time, she tossed the berry in her hand back to the rest in the tray.“Do you want us to get you another fruits?” One of the maids stood in an upright position and asked.They were all new maids. After what happened to Aurora, the maid who committed suicide and Mara, Don replaced the maids and, this time, with a much stricter rule. Lillian shook her head, thereby urging the maid to go back to her previous duty.This was mostly all what Lillian does to the food and even fruits she eats since she became pregnant. It was either disgusting or tasteless like earlier. Things even got wo

Chapter: Chapter 104 - Promise for a change.Bella got a hint of the situation immediately her mood changed, and no words came from her. She heaved a sigh but didn't say a word either.Just then, the door opened, revealing Don. He walked a few steps into the room and paused to stare at Lillian.The family shot him a glance, then back at Lillian. They also got a hint of the situation and guessed they obviously needed some privacy together.“Now that your husband is here, we'll leave you two to talk.” Mrs. Blake said and glanced at the others, and they all nodded.They left the ward as agreed, but that didn't change the aura in the ward. Don and Lillian still maintained their silence as different thoughts ran through their heads.But there was something strange about Don's demeanor. His expression wasn't unreadable as it used to be. This time, she could bet she was able to read some emotions out from his facial expression.One of them was anger, but who was he angry at? Lillian shivered at the thought of him getting angry at the f

Chapter: Chapter 103 - The reason behind her illness.A devilish smile didn't fail to crawl to his face as he attempted to pull the trigger, but all of a sudden, all the armed men in the place pointed their guns towards him, shocking everyone except Don and his personal guards.“You should also get one thing straight, no one escapes my wrath when they look for it.” Don finally voiced out with a dangerous smirk.Rex and Draco were also freed, and they joined the multitude of boys to pointing guns at Pablo. Pablo, whose face was now filled with confusion and shock, gently dropped his hand by his side.“Do you really think that you were the only one with the plans here?” Don's mind flashed back to how he replaced the men that were meant to support Pablo with his.It wasn't an easy thing to do but it was still worth it, especially since it had to with getting Pablo away from Lillian's life forever."What is happening now?" Pablo glanced around him, his mind trying not to accept that he was already outsmarted.This wasn't what he had planned.

Chapter: Chapter 102 - Who wins?Don tucked his gun into his pants as he glared at the men on the ground, some were unconscious while a few were groaning in extreme pain. He didn't waste any more seconds before he left the area.Pablo was actually more prepared, considering the number of guards he had secretly placed in the building. Fortunately, Don and his personal guards were well-trained enough to take them all down. Although, they wouldn't stop trooping into the building, more like they already knew of the intruders.As Don ran up the stairs, he was more vigilant than ever. The occurrence from earlier should never happen again, especially since he had only a limited time.Yes! He was already informed by Sir. Jeffrey about the short time they had to rescue Lillian. He would rather not waste a second out of it even though, three minutes had passed already.He halted when he got to a hallway leading to different rooms. Opening one of the rooms, he concluded he wouldn't be able to make it if he searched through them

Chapter: Chapter 101 - Mark became a victim! Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.“I don't mind, as long as you go down first. And don't think you're doing us a favor here because you're one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn't leave Bella's face as she spat out her anger.“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.Even though Bella's anger k

Entangled with the Imperious Billionaire
“How could you both do this to me?” Matilda's voice trembled as her eyes darted from her best friend to her husband, whose sweats were dripping, obviously from the adultery act he just committed.
Her disappointed self wanted to hear an explanation, an excuse, or something and wished all was just a mistake but.....
“You came in just in time.” He uttered with no iota of remorse as he fixed his pants and belts.
“What? Eduardo!”
“You've seen and heard it all, so what now? Want me to start telling some boring story and silly excuse? Hell no, young lady!” He raised a brow, and Matilda couldn't believe her eyes and ears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After being betrayed by those she loved and trusted so much, Matilda Smith wished nothing but to vanish from the face of the earth. Her five years of marriage was ruined in a single day by those whom she thought were on her side.
But they didn't end there. Despite taking everything she had inherited from her family, they still wanted her dead. And that was when their paths crossed.
Xander Hamilton, authoritative, charismatic, confident, and ruthless, was the sole heir to the number one company in America and a rival to many businesses.
~~~Extract~~ “Please, help me. I'm willing to do anything. Just help me get revenge and my inheritance back.”
“Your life became mine from the moment you witnessed that man's death. What makes you think I'll help the life which I want to end badly even at this moment? I just need two reasons.” He smirked dangerously.
His presence screamed danger, yet she was drawn to him like a magnet. However, will she be able to face the danger in his world? What if their destinies have been intertwined right from the beginning?

Chapter: Chapter 7- First phase of her revenge plan.Inside a tall and giant building, men and women of prominence and high status walked around in the well decorated and fancied hall. Some ate and drank on chairs and tables set in order, some stood with the bereaved family to console them while some rather discussed businesses, using the gathering as a means of getting more business connections.A soft instrumental music played in the background, entertaining those who cared to listen. Today was the funeral which the Smiths' family prepared for the supposed dead Matilda Smith, and they were precisely in the reception after they've buried a body they didn't know was only a replacement.The instrumental music finally ended, earning a loud ovation from the audience and that was when Eduardo walked up to the stage. His expression was looking very much sad, just as how it had been since his wife's death was pronounced to the whole country.“First, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who made it here today. I truly app

Chapter: Chapter 6 - Meeting with her Savior.“His room is at the far end of the hallway. Turn to the right door and knock gently. Remember ma'am, gently as he hates noises.” Those words from the servants replayed in Matilda's head as she stood in front of the door.She made to knock on the door gently like she was told earlier, but her hands would halt midway near the door, just as it had been for over a minute now. Despite summoning courage a while ago to come and see Xander, it seemed like all her courage suddenly disappeared now that she was in front of his door. She wanted to know why he saved her and brought her to his mansion, and her mind couldn't accept the fact that the same man who had killed a person in her presence rescued her from her harsh reality. It just sounded unbelievable to her.Finally mustering her courage once again, she shut her eyes and took three consecutive deep and sharp breaths, acting like she was going to face a challenge or something. She opened her eyes and knocked twice quickly on the door.“C

Chapter: Chapter 5 - Her saviour.“I cross-examined her, and she is okay now. She fainted due to shock and would wake up in a short while. So, when she does, she should eat and take the drugs to relieve her of after effects like headaches.” The doctor explained after packing his things into his box.He turned to Xander and bowed, “I'll take my leave now.” He quietly filed out of the room, and Bruno followed him to settle the bills.Xander remained in the room, alone with an unconscious Matilda on the bed. All the time the doctor had given his instructions, he was barely listening as his attention was fully focused on Matilda. Despite her long dark-blonde curly hair scattered over her face, he still didn't fail to take in the shape of her almond like eyes, pointed nose, mouth in the form of a heart and her overall oval-shaped face. His eyes trailed down to her feet, even when she was covered in a duvet. Then, they moved back to her face.His expression was neutral, yet his mind was slightly bothered. For the first tim

Chapter: Chapter 4 - His wife was dead.Matilda glanced at the man who just spoke to her and hot tears began to stream down her face once again. As if her tears weren't enough to have fallen that same day.Her life had been filled with happiness for the past few years, but how did it suddenly result to this? Now, even the people who once bowed at her feet were hitting and threatening her in the cruelest way possible.She was filled with nothing but regret as she wondered why everything was suddenly turning against her. If only she hadn't grabbed those hands which lifted her up from sorrows. If only her heart hadn't beaten and yearned for a man whom she had only known for a year. If only her father hadn't died and her mother hadn't abandoned her. If only she wasn't born.....Her birth was still unknown like she last recalled. Having grown with people who weren't her biological parents, her life was filled with joy to the brim as her adopted parents never mistreated her. Instead, they gave her all the love in the world, that

Chapter: Chapter 3 - A ruthless billionaire.“Clean this up.” Xander stood up from the couch, his black shoes glistening with the marbled floor as he marched towards the nearby table. The husky men didn't hesitate to do as he ordered, leaving behind just Bruno Lorenzo, Xander's right-hand man and only friend. They once stayed in the same orphanage in Italy before Xander joined the Mafia family. “Why is it just one man? Where is his partner?” Xander asked, a rich sense of deep Italian accent emanating from his tone as he gently fixed his hands in his pockets. Bruno stepped forward and replied, “he was found gambling in one of the downtown casinos. When we traced back to his hideout, his partner was long gone. Seemed like he figured us earlier.” “But we'll definitely find him soon as he left some traces behind.” He quickly added. “Bring him to me when you do.” Xander took a deep breath before turning back to face the angle of the room where he had just shot a living man dead. The traces of blood splattered on the wall cou

Chapter: Chapter 2 - The other side of betrayal.“Young lady? Am I no longer your wife? The one you cherished the most?” She couldn't fathom and process everything, no matter how hard she tried. “Deal with it. You were never his type to begin with. I guess, you must have believed you could have any man wrapped under your fingers, just because you're wealthy but that wouldn't be so anymore.” Tiffany remarked with a smirk. Matilda glanced at her and badly wished to smack that off her face. No. She actually wished she had never met these people because the heartbreak was really disheartening. The feeling was the worst she had felt in many years. “Have you ever considered me a friend?” Matilda's voice was almost inaudible as she spoke. “No. Just like Eduardo never considered you his wife.” Tiffany lashed out those in no seconds, and it hurt Matilda even more. Seeing how Tiffany said those words with ease, she had come to accept her harsh reality. She glanced at Eduardo and his facial expression was nothing close to being apologetic
