Damian sighed and said, “God-mother, first I don’t want you to think that I am trying to cut you or your son off. You have been nothing but a great mom and aunt to me, but the truth is that your son, who is supposed to be like a brother to me has always been envious of me.” He paused. “That’s right.” Kendra chipped in and her mom gave her a warning look, she quickly muttered “I’m sorry” and Damian continued. “I don’t know if you have ever noticed but Justin always wanted everything I have, down to my woman. I appreciate the fact that he helped Layla to contact me while she was abducted but then, if my memory serves me well, a few months ago Justin conspired with this same lady who tried to cause me pain. All of us. He was aware of this, yet he chose to put all of us in danger. My wife made me understand how much of a helper he has be

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Five- He Saved Me Again.Never for once did Justin ever think that Ava would point a trigger at him let alone pull it. It all happened so fast but thankfully, the cops came in almost immediately but Justin passed out already.Damian on the other hand could not contain his joy when Layla landed safely on the foam that was spread out for her.“don’t worry love, you are safe now.” He whispered in her ears as he pulled her into his arms. Layla on the other hand was already exhausted from constant crying and torture and pleaded with Damian to help save Justin.“I can't believe you’d plead on his behalf, after everything he put you through,” Damian said, slightly annoyed as they stood aside and watched the cops guide Paula into a black van from the car she was in earlier.“Layla was too exhausted to speak but since she had jumped down before Ava shot him, she was still oblivious to the fact that he was shot. Here she was, pleading with Damian to spare Justin’s life again.“He saved my life, Damian.” She muttered am

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Four- She Ruined Everything!“What in heaven’s name happened here? Justin!!!” Ava yelled as soon as she saw her so-called bodyguards lying half-conscious on the floor. Meanwhile, as soon as both Justin and Layla heard her voice downstairs, Justin collected the phone quickly tied Layla’s hand, and put her back in the position Ava had left her, pretending as though nothing happened. The next thing they heard was Ava’s voice, she barged into the room, filled with rage but somehow felt a bit relaxed when she saw Layla still in the same position she had left her, “What happened downstairs Justin, did someone break into the house?” she asked, but this time, her voice was a little bit relaxed. Pretending not to know what she was talking about, Justin replied, looking as though he was just as confused as her, ‘What are you talking about, what is going on where?” Frustrated, Ava said, “Help me untie her.” Both Justin and Layla looked surprised. They didn’t know what Ava was up to and also, they hoped that

At least, nobody’s home to boss me around,Paula, can I get a glass of orange juice,Paula, can you please bring my food upstairs I don’t feel like coming downstairs to eat,Paula this…Paula that….Gosh, I get easily irritated being around those people, not to think that I had to put up with their excesses for what??Twenty-five fucking years.” Layla heard Paula and Ava discussing.At first, she could have sworn that the voices only sounded alike but after hearing the details of the conversation, she didn’t need anybody to tell her that she had been living with the devil. Not to think that Damian trusted Paula with his whole life. She has watched both Damian and Kendra treat Paula as a family since she got married to Damian Damian allowed only Paula to have access to their matrimonial bedroom, that’s the level at which he trusts her.“Enjoying your new place of abode?” Ava asked, jerking Layla out of her thoughts.Layla

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-Two- Cassandra Grey!“ I am sure you are not deaf, I said WHO THE F**K ARE YOU?” Kelvin yelled for the second time but that did not make Paula respond to him either.Damian was still trying to process the whole situation in his mind. Or, was he just assuming? No, Paula watched him grow and she has always treated him like her own son, and he in return, cared for her like his mom. Trust was an understatement to what Damian has for Paula.“Nanny P, that’s what I used to call you remember? I called you by that name because If truly you are the woman who looked after me since I was born till this stage, I want you to look at this boy whom you raised all by yourself and tell me what the f**k is going on here?” Damian said with a cracky voice and Kelvin felt so sorry for him. The last time Damian was this emotional was when he found out about Ava and Justin, since then, he has always tried to maintain his steeze, regardless of the situation.However, Paula still did not say a word, rather she stood there, her

Chapter: Chapter Eighty-One- Who Are You?“Mr. Wilson, Kelvin’s here,” Paula called, alerting Damian upon Kelvin’s arrival.“Tell him I’m busy and I won’t be attending to anyone,” Damian replied coldly, it’s been twenty-four hours since Layla’s abduction, and Damian has not stepped out of his room nor uttered a word to anyone. Paula has begged him severally to at least drink something but Damian refused and even threatened to take her job away from her if she disturbs him again so Paula gave up.Paula headed back to the sitting room where Kelvin was waiting for Damian, “Kelvin, I’m sorry but he won’t see you and might not be coming downstairs either. Maybe you can check up on him tomorrow, or some other time.” Paula said, dismissing Kelvin. But the fellow refused to leave,“ it’s alright then, I will wait. Besides, it's not like I have anything to do at the moment. If it is going to take Damian a whole week before he comes down here to have a word with me, fine, I will wait.” Kelvin said and made himself more comfortable on t

Chapter: Chapter 25ELSIE’S POV“You’re all dressed up already, why didn't you wake me up?” Lily’s voice distracted me from what I was doing.“Sorry, I didn’t want to wake you up. I could tell you were very tired from the way you were snoring,” I said jokingly and laughed afterward.“Don’t be silly, I don’t snore,” Lily said in her defense and I just laughed harder instead.As she made her way to the bathroom, she stopped and took a glance at me, critically scrutinizing my outfit and makeup.“Don’t you dare say it out,” I quickly said, trying to define myself.Lily faked a surprised look and responded non-gallantly,“Calm down angry bird, I’ve not said anything yet and you are already defending yourself.“That’s because I know you so well. So after that look you just gave me, I know what will follow next,” I replied.“ or maybe, you already know that I’m telling the truth,”“But hold on Elsie, do you have a runway fashion show to attend today, Or no, maybe an event?Because there’s no way you’d tell me

Chapter: Chapter 24Elsie’s pov“What is it?Lemme have a look,” I said and took the phone away from Lily.For the next few minutes, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I had to pinch myself, just to be sure I was not dreaming.“Emilia is unbelievable!” I ranted out in anger.“What are you going to do now?” Lily asked, still worried.I stood up and walked around, had a deep thought for the next few seconds, and said,“There’s no way I’ll allow Emilia and Irene to sell that property, that’s the only legacy my mom left behind for me. There’s no way I will let her sell that space for tourist attractions,” Lily stood up and walked up to me, “But how,Emilia will not allow you to get a hold of that property without a fight.” I knew Lily was right. Firstly, I am not prepared to make an appearance before Emilia and her evil daughter, not yet.But the more I delay, the more chances I lose to get my mom's property back.“ This is it Lily. I can’t afford to waste more time, I have to confront Emilia now I migh

Chapter: Chapter 23ELSIE’S POV“Where did you get this from?” I asked Lily, seeing the paper she held.“wait a minute, have you been searching my things without my consent, you know you have no right whatsoever to do so?” I added in my defense, my mind still searching for the right answers to give Lily.“If you think you can put up a façade, lie about this, pretend to everyone, and they believe you. You know I won't, you know me better. When do you intend to tell him?” Lily retorted.At this point, I was lost for words. I never imagined that Lily would ever come across Isabella’s birth certificate and also the documents that contained hr change of name. I already buried the identity of Isabella Gomez. That person doesn’t exist to me again, as far as I am concerned, my daughter is a crown and will forever remain so until she finds a man who is worthy to take away her last name and replace it with his.“Forget about this Lily. I am not ready for this conversation, and I owe you no explanation plus whatev

Chapter: Chapter 22ELSIE’S POV“Mr. Please can you drive a little bit faster?” I said to the driver that was driving Ethan and I back home from our little getaway.My heart was racing fast, faster than the vehicle. Lily did not spare me the complete details about what happened, she only asked that I return home as soon as possible.“Can you at least tell me what's going on?” Ethan asked for the fourth time since we left the resort and again I kept mute and only stared back at him with fear in my eyes.Seeing that I was in no mood to say anything to him, he moved closer to me and soothed my hands using his. I know all he wanted to do was calm me down, I appreciate his efforts but no matter how hard I tried to calm myself, I just couldn’t.I hopped out of the car immediately it pulled up in front of the building. And as I hurriedly ran inside the house, I almost fell to the ground.“Where is she, Lily?” I asked Lily immediately and I approached her.“she was rushed to the hospital, and your dad is with h

Chapter: Chapter 21ETHAN’S POVGoing to bed and waking up next to Elsie has always been something I envisioned since the first day I set my eyes on her. As I watched her sleep so peacefully I could not help but fall deeply in love with her. Truly, she looked like an angel.Images of last night flashed through my mind and I could not help but remember my first night with Irene. It was almost the same thing, the same feeling. “come off it Ethan, you shouldn’t be thinking about her. You have Elsie and that is all that matters” I thought and said to myself before calling the kitchen through the intercom, I wanted breakfast to be ready before Elsie woke up.“how long will it take before the food gets here?” I asked the lady on the intercom.“Since you placed multiple orders, it will take twenty minutes sir,” she responded politely and cut the call.“Who was that?” I heard Elsie’s sweet and angelic voice.“the restaurant. I ordered breakfast for us.” I replied softly and planted a kiss on her forehead. She wa

To like someone is one thing and to love is another. I just wanted to be careful so we don’t ruin the beautiful relationship we have built.“With everything that has life in me,” he replied and I could feel the butterflies in my belly tickle out of excitement.My heart racing faster than usual and the strong urge and desire to kiss his cute lips was evident in my eyes. As I stared directly into his eyes, I could see the same in his eyes.Within a twinkle of an eye, I could feel his soft lips on mine and his tongue caressing mine. His soft palms ran through my sexy and exposed thighs. I wanted one thing now, to experience more of this day with this man.“there’s something you need to know. Ethan” I said, suddenly breaking free from his grip and pausing our magical kiss.However, I thought this was the best time to tell h
