Chapter: Chapter 145“What I'm feeling is none of your business. Just let me out of this place already! Love is by choice, not force!” Emma cried out and hoped that her bodyguards would find her.“You're going to understand the kind of love I have for you after we get married,” Jacked beamed psychotically, his eyes devilishly scrutinizing her body. “The baby will be aborted after we get married,”Emma gasped, and her hands protectively covered her stomach.“I have to endure his children in our home, I won't bear to raise another one,” Jackson snarled, his eyes darkening at her.“I'll kill you if you try to touch my baby,” Emma threatened, tears brimming in her eyes.“You can try. I love it when you're so rough with me,” He laughed like a maniac.'Liam, please find me. I think the pregnancy made me emotional and now, I have committed a huge mistake. Please save me,' Emma cried inwardly.“A man is coming to get you ready for the wedding. I'll get ready too, see you till then,” Jackson winked at her and left

Chapter: Chapter 144“Thank you for sending your men to help me, those bodyguards of hers were close to catching me,”Emma heard her father's voice but found it difficult to open her eyes.The next voice she heard was quite unfamiliar.“Well, you made a drastic move to bring my happiness to me. Why wouldn't I help you?” The man responded to Mr. Crown.“May I ask what your name is?” Mr. Crown inquired, his curiosity piqued.“My name is Jackson Taylor,” He responded.The mention of the last name 'Taylor', made Emma more eager to snap out of her unconsciousness. Fortunately, her body cooperated and her eyes slowly opened.Her vision was blurry at first, but within a few seconds, it cleared. She surveyed her environment and saw that she was in someone's sitting room.She darted her gaze to the two men seated on the couch. Anger surged through her when she saw Mr Crown.“You told me that you were having a heart attack!” Emma cried out as she felt a sharp pain in her head.“I am sure that you would have been pl

Chapter: Chapter 143Emma awakened and found herself in her room. “Honey, are you okay?” Liam asked, his voice full of concern.“Mommy, how do you feel?” Alden asked, holding his mother's hand.Emma groaned a bit and slowly sat upright.“I'm okay,” Emma replied as she saw the worried expressions on their faces.“Are you sure that you're fine, or should I call the doctor?” Liam asked.“Hey, don't make things more complicated. Which doctor would want to come all the way here to examine me?”“There's nothing that money can't do. I can even give him or her a free ride on my yacht,” Liam responded, unconvinced by her positive response. “Mummy, Daddy is right. A doctor should check if you are truly alright or not. We don't want you to fall sick,” Alden muttered and hugged his mother.“I don't want you to be ill either,” Aziel said, resting his head on her lap.Emerald was beside her father, hiccuping. She was so scared when she saw her mother unconscious on the floor. It was her screams that alerted her fathe

Chapter: Chapter 142Over the weekend, Liam and his family headed to his private island to have some fun. They went via a chopper that Liam had purchased.As they arrived at the Island, they stepped out of the chopper and watched it fly away with the pilot.“Bye,” Emerald smiled, waving at the chopper.“The pilot isn't going to see you, stop waving,” Aziel scoffed.“I wasn't waving at the pilot,” Emerald retorted, continuing to wave to annoy her brother.“Follow me,” Liam said and began walking away.Emma and the kids followed him into the mansion that was situated on the island. The kids were so excited to play and make sand castles when they returned to the shore.“This mansion is beautiful,” Emma commented, having her seat beside Liam. “Yes, it is,” Liam smiled, glancing around. “It has been a while since I've been here,” “Sophia would have loved to come,” Emma said, referring to the Nanny. “I'm sure that she's happy about taking a break. I also believe that we should spend some quality time with ou

Chapter: Chapter 141Mr. Crown hung up the phone and began lamenting.“What am I going to do now? I haven't thought of anything yet,” Mr. Crown muttered, his voice laced with worry. “How am I going to tear them apart? I've used almost every means I know, but they've remained madly in love. What could I do to change that? Is there anything that can make their love fade away?”“Even if they break up, how am I going to force Emma to get married to a stranger? She's no longer a kid, and she doesn't want to see me either.” Mr. Crown muttered, unable to think of anything that could help him.“I am as good as dead if I don't get this done,” Mr. Crown lamented, his eyes stinging with tears. “What have I gotten myself into?”He darted his teary gaze upstairs and said, “I could have asked for her help or ideas, but she's not in the state of mind to respond to me,”“I can't let that man pressure me into doing anything. I've got to relax and think carefully about my next steps,” Mr. Crown said, sucking in a deep brea

Chapter: Chapter 140Emma clenched her fists and darted her gaze to the shattered vase. She looked at her stepmother again, and anger surged through her veins.“I can't believe that I was feeling sorry for you and your daughter,” Emma gasped, shocked by her own emotions. “I have been tormented from the moment that you came into this house and your daughter set me up and almost ruined my life,”Emma took a step forward, but Liam held her back.“I've got this,” Emma muttered and gently removed her hand from his grip. She walked to her stepmother and snarled coldly, “I shouldn't pity you. You deserve whatever is happening to you right now. Your daughter also deserved to die, I wish her death were more painful,”“You bitch,” Mrs. Crown raised her hand to slap Emma, but Emma grabbed her hand before it struck her face.Without thinking twice, Emma slapped her so hard that she was knocked down to the floor.“Your daughter has tried killing me more than once. She tried using my allergies against me, she almost d

Chapter: EPILOGUEThe next morning, Lydia woke up by Carson's side. She had a beautiful and joyful smile on her lips. Waking up by his side was the most amazing thing ever, and the scent of cologne was still on him. She brought her nose close to his chest and nuzzled him. Lydia grinned and raised her hand, she stared at the beautiful ring. “My name is Mrs. Lydia Walters' Lydia chuckled and kissed her ring. “It's so beautiful.” She was still staring at her ring when she suddenly had the urge to vomit, she touched her stomach as it churned. “Did I eat something wrong yesterday? Lydia pouted her lips. The nauseating feeling stopped for a while, but then the bile rushed up her throat and she couldn't keep it in. She rushed out of the bed and threw up into the sink. The sounds of vomiting woke Carson up. He wanted to sleep back but realized something was wrong with his wife. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He asked her, worriedly. “Love, are you alright?” He still heard her throwing up and had to

Chapter: Chapter 123Carson turned back with a little smile on his lips, his threats had worked. He wasn't planning on doing any of those things he said, but he decided to act as one of the bad guys. One can't stick to a technique and tactic all the time. Carson returned to his seat and called a prison warder inside to listen to what he had said. Carson also brought out his phone and decided to make a recording. “Can you repeat what you had said?” Carson requested. The man sighed and said everything that had transpired between him and Alma. Carson was delighted and left from there as the warder was taken away. He was going to face his penalty. Carson contacted the police to visit George's house where Alma stayed and also to arrest Felix in his house. Carson planned on also releasing the recording through his Father's connections. It would be anonymous and would ruin Felix's chances of becoming the governor. Carson was excited about his plans but would execute them after they were both arrested fo

Chapter: Chapter 122George had killed a man, strangled him during the traffic, and taken his cab as a means of transportation. Presently, he walked to Mrs. Isobel's limp body and carried her into the back seat of the cab. He closed the door and entered the front seat. He wasn't ready to drive her anywhere in particular, he would make sure that he was far from a place where the cops could find him. He would question her in the car, but he had to wait till she awakened. He had planned to lie to Alma that he couldn't stand the boredom and had to leave the cabin. Anyway, she believed every lie he spoke.George drove for a long while before parking near a certain roadside, he waited till she awakened, which happened a few minutes after the drive. “Hm,” Mrs. Isobel moaned in pain. She felt a pounding pain in the back of her head, her hand reached for it and there was a little bloodstain. “Oh my God” She cried and slowly sat up, her blurry eyes cleared little by little. “Who are you?” Mrs. Isobel asked i

Chapter: Chapter 121“Why are you smirking? Do you find the situation amusing or what?” Alma frowned at him. “I'm sorry, but I've thought about my decision, and I'm ready to accept your suggestion for plastic surgery,” George stuttered.Alma screamed excitedly and hugged him tightly.“That's the spirit, I'm so glad that you have thought more carefully about my proposal. I promise you that once you do this surgery and probably practice how to change other things about yourself. Everything would be great” Alma giggled. “The cops would be off your back and the both of us can travel the world after our wedding.” George rolled his eyes but faked a laugh. “I won't do the surgery now, give me some time to have my face then after a few days from now, I can do the surgery” George smiled and pushed her away from him. “I'm so happy” Alma clapped excitedly and tilted her head from side to side like a child. “I'm not too happy about losing my handsome face, but it's worth the change,” George said and acted like

Chapter: Chapter 120“No, I'm not interested in altering my appearance” George disagreed firmly. “Why? It's a suitable option for you never to be found, why would you lose such a chance, just to stay locked up in this wretched cabin” Alma argued with him. “I'm not interested in continuing the conversation, I won't change my appearance to fort anything in this world. The best thing I love seeing when I look at my reflection in the mirror is my face and nothing more” George said and turned his face away from her. Alma gasped and was offended by his selfishness. “I want you to have a free life, we can fake your death that you were found and killed. It would make a lot of sense when I start dating the new you. Why are you acting so selfishly towards me?” Alma said, her voice cracking at the end of her statement. “I'm not being selfish but standing by my own rules. I get that you went the extra mile to bring me out of jail, but that doesn't give you the right to order me around” George frowned. Alma gasp

Chapter: Chapter 6: Rosaura Morales.Rosa's POV.“Can you see everything?” I asked Quinn over the microsized airpod in my ear and she sighed.“I can, told you the mini cameras would work” She told me in such a boastful way and I smiled.Looking around, I could pick out the elites and I fidgeted a bit.“Are you sure I won't get caught?” I asked Quinn, and I heard her scoff.“This is Rose speaking in you, shut her up and bring out Rosaura” She commanded and I smiled, always the girl to cheer me up.“Hello, Mi lady” I heard someone say behind me and turned to see a young man in a suit, recognizing him from the list of invitees Quinn gave me earlier. I knew he was the CEO of Maxwell's Corps, which he inherited from his father. “Good evening, Mr Enzo maxwell” I replied, giving a little curtsy.“You know me?” He asked and I nodded with a smile.“How wouldn't I know the outstandingly handsome CEO of Maxwell corps?” I asked and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly at the proud look on his face.Men would always be men.“Of cours

Chapter: Chapter 5: The ReturnRosa's POVPain was the first thing I felt when I regained consciousness. It crawled through my body like liquid fire.My eyelids fluttered open, but the world was nothing but blinding white light.The only thing that seemed oddly familiar was the sharp scent of antiseptic filling the air.For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was until the memories came rushing back.Gary. The shove. The warm liquid slides down my legs.Was I dead already? Had I finally died from starvation… or the pain in my stomach? Was this some strange waiting room between life and whatever came next?My heart jerked violently in my chest, and I gasped, trying to sit up, but a sharp pain spread through my stomach, forcing a cry from my lips.“Easy,” a voice said quickly, and a man in a white coat stepped into my blurry vision.“Don’t move too much. You’re still recovering.”Recovering?My mind struggled to catch up.“Where… am I?” My voice came out hoarse.“The hospital,” the doctor replied.Hospital? I blink

I was barely feeding.My stomach cramped painfully as I walked down the sidewalk, clutching the thin jacket wrapped around my body even though it did nothing to prevent the cold.My reflection in a shop window made me pause. I barely recognized the girl staring back at me. My hair was tangled, my cheeks had hollowed, and dark circles bruised the skin under my eyes.I looked nothing like Rosa Caldwell, the school's brilliant nerd. Nothing like the girl from weeks back.I looked away as fast as I could, then continued my walk.I was starving, dying slowly, and there was only one person who had the money that could help me survive.Gary.My bo

Chapter: Chapter 3 : Cast OutRosa’s POVThe video was playing right there on the large screen in front of the disciplinary board.The room was silent except for the muffled sounds from the video—sounds that made my cheeks and stomach twist with shame.Teachers, administrators, people who had watched me walk these hallways for years, people who had graded my papers, praised my assignments, and smiled at me in the corridors, were now staring at me like I was something filthy.Something shameful and disgusting“Turn it off,” I whispered.No one moved.My hands trembled as I clutched the strap of my bag. “Please…” My voice cracked. “Please turn it off.”Finally, the principal pressed a button on the remote, and the screen went black.The principal folded his hands on the desk and sighed. “Rosa Caldwell,” he called slowly.I stepped forward, trembling.“Do you understand why you have been brought here today?”I couldn't answer even though I knew.

Someone is trying to ruin my reputation!” My voice broke.The taunts increased, and I turned and began running towards the stadium. I had to find Gary! We had to fix this! Someone was clearly trying to ruin my life.I had already begun crying when I heard that one familiar voice behind me. “Wow,” Gary said lazily. “You look like you've seen a ghost.”My blood ran cold as I spun around.Gary stood a few feet away, leaning casually against a bench, while his friends surrounded him.I wiped my face with the back of my hand, then rushed over to him. “Gary… Gary… they have something out there.” I hiccupped, “It's a clip from last night, Gary, som
