Chapter: Chapter 133Laura's POV The D-Day for the final hearing from the court came. Agatha, Mrs Corazon, Larry and I were present in court with others who simply came to watch the prosecution. When the judge walked in, we all did the respectful thing as Aaron was brought in, looking ragged and weightless. My blood boiled with rage and anger as I tried to control myself from where I sat. I couldn't wait for the final hearing to be over and spit on the bastard's face. He would be getting what he deserved anytime soon. I glanced up when I got warm hands on mine. “Everything will be okay, Sis. Mum must get justice for her death.” My brother, Larry assured beside me, and I nodded with a small smile. “Yeah, she would.” Soon, the hearings resumed, and we all watched as Aaron's lawyer kept trying to deny all the evidences pinned on his victim, Aaron, but ours was stronger to identify the wrong. Eventually, the cases and consequences of actions were read out, and it was time for the judge to give the fin

Chapter: Chapter 132Eric's POVI stared at Tyler's moving lips as he blabbered something I didn't pay attention to. And when he was done, I asked. “Are you done?”“Wait, you haven't been listening to me the whole time, dude?” He replied with widened eyes. I scoffed, returning my gaze to the document I was filling earlier.“No, I wasn't.” I muttered. I finished filling the important information on the document and handed it to Sofia, my new assistant.“Here you go, Sofia.”“Thank you, Sir.” She flashed me a smile.“Um, Sofia!” I called when she turned to leave the office. “Yes, Sir?” She turned to face me.“Can you get me info about M&M Corporation? I'm longingly expecting to buy it.” I replied with a knowing smirk. She nodded immediately. “Sure, Sir. I will look into it and update you.” “You can leave.”“Okay, Sir.” She muttered before scurrying out. I didn't miss the look on Tyler's face as I gawked at him.“What?” “Did you just realize what you just said, Eric? You want to-”I groaned, leaning on the

Chapter: Chapter 131Agatha's POVI didn't fail to see the defeated look that pictured on Aaron's face when I walked into the auctioning hall uninvited.Yeah, I wasn't invited, but I got to know at the last minute. Bea eventually succumbed to my demand and told me everything I needed to know. I was doing all these without Eric's approval. I needed to save his company from falling into the hands of Aaron, and I knew how defeated and shock he would be by my sudden presence.It took a great effort before the crowd got back themselves and resumed clapping as I placed my bidding. Jackpot. I had gotten back what belong to the Sloans', and no one would ever try to take it.As I turned to walk away from the crowd, Aaron suddenly stood up and stormed out of the hall.“Mr Walker!”“Mr Walker!”“Why did he leave??”“Is there something wrong?” I heard murmurs from the crowd of people as I rushed after Aaron. What was he up to this time?The sounds of my stiletto clicked as I raced faster towards the direction he we

Chapter: Chapter 130Sasha's POVWhat I had feared most was starting to become a reality. Aaron was letting this sudden revenge rule over him, and he wasn't ready to back out.After I had disclosed to him how Agatha showed up and escaped with Laura, and her Mom, he became angry. The news of Me shootings her mom made him stop breaking any frame he came across with at least.Not in this Earth would I have believed that someone like Agatha Sloan would be able to know such kind of place, and without the fear of being caught and killed, saved Laura. Ever since I was a maid in the mansion, I've witnessed, several times, her hatred for Laura Karma. She never loved her from the beginning, what changed?“Where are you going?” I asked, stomping my right foot on the floor as I watched Aaron appeared on the stairs, a wolfish grin plastered on his face, his hands dipped into an eccentric tuxedo that he wore.“Aren't I allowed to leave this house, Sasha? Come on, don't start.” He rolled his eyes, brushing past me.“No

Chapter: Chapter 129Agatha's POVI stepped out of my car, in front of Bea's apartment. I saw her arranging some files in a box with a young girl who had a striking resemblance to her, assisting her.Without hesitation, I marched towards them, and before she could look up properly at who walked in, I slapped her hard across the face.Fuck you. I wanted to curse at her, but I refrained with so much withheld. I left Laura to Eric back at the prison of a place when my tracker pinged on my phone, and directed me to Bea's place. Furthermore, I couldn't even disclose the truth to Eric when he asked because I didn't want him to get worried. If it had to do with his company, he'd definitely be worked up.Recently when I got my hands on the copies of Aaron's phone calls and other files from Clara, I also got to figure out something. Bea was fucking betraying her own boss.Bea held her cheek as she stared at me, her brows knitted with confusion. “M-Ms Agatha... Why did you do that?” She gathered her voice as I sta

Chapter: Chapter 128Agatha's POVLaura collapsed on the floor, like how I'd predicted. I noticed her pale state earlier. And immediately, she was taken into a ward where she was examined by the doctor while I waited impatiently.I really prayed silently that she wouldn't be traumatized by the earlier incident. Her Mom was gone... That was the harsh truth, and there wouldn't be any reverse.Though, I never knew Mrs Karma until today but noticing the interaction between the Mom-and-daughter, I could tell that they had a strong bond. The thoughts of seeing Laura go through misery made my heart to constrict.Immediately, the doctor walked out of the ward. “Doctor... How is she?” I asked with a glint of hope blazing in my eyes.“She'll be conscious any moment from now. She passed out as a result of the shock she received earlier, and it's a miracle that her baby wasn't scathed. I guessed that was due to how healthy she has been. Do you know what kind of foods she eats?” He replied.I sighed in relief, glad th

ARRANGED MARRIAGE WITH MY BILLIONAIRE GARDENER
“Tyler Brooke, do you take Miss Becky Smith as your lawfully wedded wife?”
“Yes, I do” I replied so firmly with a smile on my face.
“And do you, Miss Becky Smith, do you take Tyler Brooke, as your lawfully wedded husband?”
One minute, two, and some more minutes passed as she looked around. I wasn’t worried because i knew she had no choice, this wedding had to happen or she would lose everything.
Becky's father asked her to get married to their gardener — a gardener she hired by herself to tend to the garden in her father's mansion.
Of course, you wouldn't expect a classy woman like her, who has eyes for wealthy men, to accept a classless gardener as her husband, especially when she already has a fiancé.
But what happens when her father uses her love for money against her by taking all her assets, putting her in a tight spot and leaving her with only one choice — to marry the poor gardener.
What happens when she realizes that this poor gardener had a secret that could either make or destroy her marriage to him?
She hates him, but he isn't ready to let her go.
Will they be able to stand the test of time, or will they be overwhelmed by the dangers that lurked at every turn they took?

She knew about the truth all these while and waited till their wedding day so she could disgrace him publicly.“That's not true! It's a lie, I don't know what you're talking about. Who did you talk to? Who has been feeding you with lies?” Ephraim yelled and Becky slapped him again. The priest was confused about what to do next and just kept on staring at everything that was going on. Becky's dad and her Granny kept watching as things unfolds, they were also shocked and couldn't believe what was happening.“Keep quiet and stop lying, you lascivious pretender! It's over for you now and this time, you're going to spend the rest of your miserable life in jail. It won't be like the other time you easily cleared your name and got out but this time, there are so many charges pressed against you and there's no way you're going to escape them.” “You have no evid

He was dressed in a black tuxedo suit and I guess he couldn’t wait to officially make me his wife. Everything happened in a blink of an eye and I can't believe I'm finally getting married to Ephraim.The news of our wedding went viral and the church was filled to the brim despite I just wanted a small gathering.I really hope I'm not making the wrong decision by getting married to Ephraim and I really hope I find happiness in my new home.

Becky's pov…“I don't understand you anymore Becky, what do you mean by wanting to give Ephraim a second chance? Did you utter that by mistake or what?” My father asked me and I sighed. When I told Granny about what has been going on between me and Ephraim recently, she had to involve my dad and he won't stop questioning me like a detective. “Dad, you should calm down and allow me to explain first, you know I wouldn't take decisions rashly. I know you're fully aware of what Ephraim did to me and how much he hurt me but I can assure you that he is now a changed person.Since he got out of prison, he has now turned into a cool, gentle and more sensible guy. He doesn't even smoke, get drunk or visit the club anymore, he has dropped his old lifestyle. Believe me, I treated him so harshly when he showed up in front of me after coming out of the cell. Dad, do you know how many times I pushed this guy away? I insulted the hell out of him and even threatened to call the cops on him but

She now believes I'm a changed person and is ready to give me a second chance in her life.” Ephraim replied as he pulled a drag from the stick of cigarettes he was holding before puffing out smokes in the air. “Wow, you must be a good actor for you to be able to win her heart back. I never believed you when you told me you were going to win Becky back into your life because I know the kind of person Becky is. She never gives a second chance to anyone who hurts her, she might even pour you hot water if you show up in front of her. That's how violent she can be but I'm surprised you both just keep getting closer instead.” Mr Clarke said and Eiphraim smirked.“Once I put my mind on g

All this while, I knew Lizzy's son wasn't mine because I never had sex with Lizzy and apart from that, I found her and her son for the first time when the son was just a year old. The only problem was that I had no evidence to defend myself when she lied because she still had pictures I took with them. She even has a picture of the both of us kissing. In reality, she was actually trying to seduce me so we could have sex. I didn't even know she took a picture .I shunned her and never came to see her and her son again but I took care of her son's bills.Little did I know she kept those pictures to blackmail me and the time came when Ephraim contacted her.

Tyler just asked her to prepare pancakes for him which is so unlike him.

It's sweeter when you make it yourself, just go prepare it for me huh?” “Okay but you have to promise to stay back home throughout today because you're always busy going to one place or the other. We don't really spend time together,” Lizzy said and Tyler scoffed secretly. “I'm staying back home today so just go ahead and do it.” “Really?

Chapter: Chapter 9Bridgette's POVI glanced at the pile of documents on my desk with a frown. The amount of work I met was ginormous and I had only one person to blame for it; Rhysand Warner.I got to work, checking the hard-copy documents and matching their information with the one on my computer. It was not my work to do, but my secretary informed me that Rhys had his secretary bring them in and he specified that he wanted me to do it."That piece of... shit." I exclaimed when I discovered that he'd given me the files of all the other departments to vet. "Is he out of his mind? He thinks I have nothing to do with my time?" I voiced to myself, visibly pissed by the treatment. Just then, my secretary walked into my office."Miss Bridgette, Mr. Rhys is asking for you. He's in his office." I sighed as I breathed to calm myself so I don't lose my mind."Did he say why?" I asked my secretary who had a sorry expression on her face."He said something about messing up some documents." I nodded to her words

Not when my supposed stepsister was the same person who had refused to crawl out of my skin since the first day she managed to crawl in.I knew I looked like a dickhead who didn't want his father's happiness but I wouldn't let him make a mistake. "Playing hard to get I see." The annoyingly familiar voice called from behind.I turned around, took her in but didn't acknowledge her presence. "Look, I just came to tell you that you're being childish. Our parents need this. They really seem to be in love with each other. The least we can do is support them." She spoke with a soft tone that made me cringe. She always gave off confidence and an unbreakable spirit. Seeing her vulnerable was alien to me, and it almost made me cringe."If you're doing this to get my father's money or have him help your career, it will not work. I must tell you, my father is smart and calculated…" she exhaled loudly before I c

Chapter: Chapter 7BRIDGETTE'S POV “This is truly unbecoming of you!” Aaron continued, his voice leaving no room for arguments, “You are the CEO of ARW…”For one brief second, I felt a wicked sense of satisfaction, dripping down my spine, as I watched Aaron scold his oh-so-perfect son like a child. It felt so good, almost poetic. I took great joy in his clenched jaw and flushed face, as he stood there not being able to retaliate. How I wished I could take a picture, maybe ten, so I never forgot this moment. My wicked thoughts were cut short.“Bridgette,” my mother’s voice sliced through, sharp and disappointing “That’s enough from you two.”I blinked. “What?” glancing back, I caught sight of Ryhsand's vicious gaze soaked in smugness, and I stepped towards my mother unwilling to let him hear her scold me. “This isn't my—”“I don't care whose fault it was, your actions were uncalled for.” she interrupted, her voice sharp and I shuffled on my feet.From the corner of my eyes, I watched Aaron walk toward

Chapter: Chapter 6BRIDGETTE'S POV I sat at the dark polished table, the silverware perfectly aligned, and the scent of roasted duck and wine filled the air. My mother, despite throwing anxious glances towards me, I could not deny how beautifully glowing she looked in the champagne-colored dress that we almost seemed tailored just for her.A shocking thought crossed through my mind, how long had it been since I'd seen her look this good? Yes, she did dress up once in a while, but never had I seen her skin look so radiant and her eyes held a hint of something I couldn't place whenever she looked sideways. My eyes followed her gaze, flickered towards the older man sitting beside her, tall, silver-haired a dashing face and an even striking name to booth—Aaron Warner, Founder and ex-CEO of A.R.W the second largest company that dealt with anything and everything, from tech to fashion, ARW was your to go and Aaron had single-handedly created that company from scratch.Despite his age, his features remaine

And what's with the formalities?" He asked, making me pinch the bridge of my nose. "You're calling me by 5am in the morning, and you want me to address you informally? It's not like you have a business for me.” I retorted, listening to the sound of his hiss over the phone. "Well, I got the news that you fired your secretary and that is not my business, but I've been trying to reach you for the past three days now, which has proven futile.” "It'd have been better if it remained that way," I mumbled incoherently."Whatever," He said, clearing his throat before starting again."Well, I need you to be available by 9pm today,""Why?"

She stuttered, her lips trembling at my words."You heard me, you are fired." I repeated, walking away to the elevator."I'm really sorry, Mr. Rhys, but...""Rhysand." I corrected."Yes, Mr. Rhysand, but you cannot fire me. I need this job.” She blurted out, her sharp heels striking the tiles brutally. God, I hate that sound.

It took us months of intentional planning, restructuring and rebuilding trust.Carlos and Lorenzo Moretti not only maintained control of their syndicate but did so under stricter rules. Enough with the senseless bloodshed.” No more betrayals.Alessandro emerged as the power broker but moved to settle relations among erstwhile opponents.What about Gabriel Dravamen? He continued to be a wild card but honoured the pact. It meant Sierra would never have to see him again. He slipped away into the shadows, leaving us in peace.***I should have known that peace was an illusion. The second we made a truce, I felt the claws of the past itch at my back, lying in wait for an opportunity. The life we had struggled to break free from wasn’t going to be free easily.

Chapter: 174. A Truce Or Blood FeudJordan’s POVIt was a lengthy, ruthless and tumultuous struggle. Blood spotted the pavement, and the air was still tinged with gunpowder and sweat. Gabriel Dravamen’s cultists had shaken the very foundation of the city’s underworld when they turned against the men of Carlos Moretti. But now, looking at the rubble, I knew this battle would not last forever. I glanced at Sierra, her face smeared with dirt, her hair a wild tangle from their adventure, but the spark in her eyes was still bright with fierce determination. She had fought for me, she had risked everything, and I’d be damned if I was going to let her spend the rest of her life in constant fear. We had to put an end to this insane battle by hook or crook regardless of how weak I felt.“Jordan…Do you think this battle is worth it,” she asked but I looked at her and suddenly lost my words.“What do you suggest we do?” I asked her after taking time to think on her question for a few minutes.“End it.

Chapter: 173. To Hell With Fate Jordan’s POVThere was a palpable tension in the night air, a heavy mix of unvoiced threats. My fingers flexed at my sides, and every muscle in my body stood up, ready to pounce. The instant the door opened on the van I sensed it. Before us, lined up like a barricade, the fleet of cars stood, their headlights casting harsh beams into the dark, illuminating the figures waiting beyond. Dressed in shades of dark, masked under darkness, armed men stood at attention. Their postures screamed discipline, precision, and most importantly, prepared to unleash hell. From the outside looking in, it was evident these were not just hired guns. They were men trained for combat, their loyalty inextinguishable, and their mission palpable. Carlos Moretti moved like a man in command, rolling the cuffs of his pricey suit as though he wasn’t in the heart of a goddamn battlefield. He flourished on chaos; it had shaped him, and if nothing else, I knew he never walked into a fight he didn’t think he coul

Inside the van, the air was thick with anticipation and something more, something dark.Then, as my eyes adjusted to the low-light interior, I froze in my throat. In the corner sat Carlos Moretti, wearing a sleek black suit, and dark glasses on the bridge of his nose. A cigar hung limply from one side of his mouth, a thin wisp of smoke curling up to the ceiling.“You all didn’t know I was here. Well, I accept that compliment you gave earlier,” he said, “Oh, you are welcome,” he barely echoed and pumped out more smoke into the air with reckless abandon.Still talking to himself and all, he chuckled, a slow and gruff laugh that sent a shiver down my spine. It went on too long, stretching that moment into something just disgusting, something grotesque and even annoying, that made my stomach flip.I felt like reaching out to him and smacking him in the face to keep

Jordan was tumbling down with me as a bullet whined past us and struck the concrete wall behind us.My pulse throbbed so violently that I feared it might rupture my ribs. Dominic was already shooting back, his responses quick and exact. Ethan drew his weapon too, well braced as he shot at the men surrounding us. “Go! Go! Go!” he shouted to his men and directed them with one hand in the air as he plunged them ahead whilst the other hand rested solidly on his gun. He looked in our direction as well and nodded his head for us to move to where the huge crates were stacked.I held Jordan and moved towards the crate whilst Ethan watched our fours ensuring we were behind the crates before going head into the battle that had been staged.

He had just been through a serious coma, and I knew he needed time to get his strength back. His body had not fully recovered, but his spirit, his fighting spirit, was as full as a young man's spirit should be. Every step we took together led us onto shaky ground, but I was unwilling to drop the thread. I wasn’t about to let anything or anyone pull him away from me again. As I led him down the sterile corridor, I kept looking back at him, asking him over and over if he was in pain. "How do you feel? Is anything bothering you? Does anywhere hurt?”We had to put up a brave front, of course, but Jordan shot me a cheeky smile with twinkling eyes that had mischief reflected in them, even with that happening.“You’re babying me too much, Sierra.
