“Don’t tell me that you sent them to prison because of that only,” Mr Clark asked as he looked at Rhiannon in disbelief.The others were shocked when they discovered that Clark’s mistress and the youngest daughter were in jail. They all were frightened as their stock would fall once more if it was discovered.They wanted to blame Rhiannon and claim that she didn’t care about the company but after thinking about the situation very carefully, they had to admit that both Rhiannon and Mr Clark did a good job in hiding what had happened in their family.If it wasn’t for the fact that the man had asked Rhiannon immediately and without thinking out of anger, they would never have known it. For this, they didn’t bother blaming Rhiannon again but wondered what kind of mistake the mother-daughter duo made to make Rhiannon so angry that she would charge them.Rhiannon glanced at her father without thinking and thought that the man could think anything he wanted as it wouldn’t affect her in any w
“Are both of you going to return her things or not?” Mr Clark asked the mother-daughter duo who were seated opposite him.“Why should I return them to her? She has refused to drop the charges. How sure am I that she will drop them after I return them?” Kaylee said sharply and arrogantly.Mr Clark glared at her hoping that she would change her decisions as his position was at risk. He also couldn’t understand why Kaylee turned the way she was.He had expected Rhiannon to be that way as he never provided her with the same luxury he provided Kaylee with but everything that had been happening proved him wrong.“You have to! Rhiannon is the head of the company and has more power than you think! She said that if you didn’t return her things, she would take the CEO position from me. Do you want me to be left with no power in the company?” Mr Clark said loudly and angrily shocking the duo.“What? How can that wrenched girl do that to you? Has she forgotten that you are her father? And if she
Kaylee was shocked by her father’s words and felt conflicted about what to do.She had always wanted to take everything that was precious to Rhiannon and that’s why she had taken the jewels so as to make the latter hurt and heartbroken.Mr Clark glanced at her daughter who was busy having a conflict on what to do. Of course, Kaylee didn’t know to how conceal her emotions thus everything was clear to her father. But when the man saw that she was taking too long to make a decision, he sighed, stood up and turned around ready to leave.“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to get us out?” Mrs Clark asked in panic when she saw her husband leaving.Mr Clark halted his steps but didn’t turn around to glance at the latter.“Get you out? Am I the one who pledged the charges? If you want to get out, call Rhiannon and request her presence. After she comes, beg for her forgiveness as you tell her where her jewels are. Maybe afterward, she would forgive you and get you out,” he said coldly then
Rhiannon woke up tired and immediately regretted proposing to spend the night with Octavius.“You are awake?” a deep voice sounded a little far from where she was lying.Hearing his voice, Rhiannon was stunned and later realized she had been captivated by his deep voice.She turned around as she didn’t want him to see her flushed face and start making fun of her or even worse, make her late for work.“Are you trying to ignore me?” he asked in a low tone as he whispered to Rhiannon in her ear.Rhiannon was shocked and wondered when the latter had climbed the bed.“You! What are you doing here?” she asked in a low tone as she covered her face with the duvet and moved a little bit far from Octavius.Octavius saw the scene and chuckled since he understood what was going on in her mind.“What are you thinking with your little head, mmh? You are just evil-minded but I don’t mind fulfilling your wish once more,” he said as he pulled the duvet up, uncovering her but Rhiannon later pulled it u
Sitting on her bed which was covered in green bed covers, she felt that she was lucky. Even though her father didn't love her and her grandparents were gone, she had her stepsister and fiancée who loved her deeply. She vowed that she would return their gratitude one way or another.Rhiannon stood up as a thought flashed in her mind making her walk to her closet while humming to choose the perfect outfit.After scanning her dresses one after another, she picked a green dress since green was Aaron's favorite, and had always said that she looked more beautiful in it."Ma'am, are you going out?" Mary, the housekeeper and the one who took care of her after her mother's death asked. To her, Mary was like the second mother whom she wished for. Always caring, and kind and made sure that she never slept with an empty stomach even when she was been punished."Yes, Mary. I am going to surprise Aaron," the lady said with a charming smile on her face.Looking at the young mistress smiling, the old
She felt her head was heavy and throbbing. She tried opening her eyes and after a couple of tries, she gradually opened them only to be met by a white ceiling and white-painted walls. From the room's smell, she knew that she was in the hospital. Trying so hard to think how she ended up here, she later recalled the misfortune she had passed making her sigh deeply."You are awake," a deep voice said coldly, making her wonder what kind of a person it was to talk to a patient in that manner.The man who was seated on the couch beside the hospital bed was looking at her emotionless making his secretary who was leaning against the door wonder what his boss was thinking."Go call the doctor and tell him that she is awake," he said still not averting his eyes from her.His words made her realize that there was more than one person in the room. Anxiously, she tried to wake up and sit so that she could know what was going on."W...ho," she tried talking but her throat was aching badly since.Th
Rhiannon was shocked to hear the words that came from the man's mouth."What makes you think that I would get married? To you especially?" she asked as she tried her best to stay calm.Amused by her cute angry face, the man said with a wicked smile on his face," Why won't you? Aren't I your greatest benefactor? I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead by now.""Yes, you are but I will pay you instead. How can I get married to a stranger just because he saved my life?" she asked since to her the man was not been reasonable."I saved your life, can't that be enough reason to want you to also save my life?""But you aren't dying, are you?" she asked curiously since she could tell that the man was so fit and couldn't be suffering from any terminal disease."How would you know if you won't accept my offer?" he asked as he wondered why the woman was still refusing his offer.He looked at himself through his phone's screen wondering whether he wasn't good-looking any
"Rhiannon, is that you?" the person from the other side said in disbelief."Nanny, it's me," Rhiannon said with a smile and her eyes were so calm."How, didn't you die in the fire?" Mary asked."I managed to escape," she said and her eyes turned cold making the atmosphere in the room so terrifying."How? How did you? The fire...." Mary wanted to ask but she couldn't finish her words because just the thought itself made her start crying again."They wanted to kill me. Don't tell anyone that I am alive yet," she said in a cold voice.On the other side, when Mary had a terrifying tone, she was shocked to the core. It reminded her of Rhiannon's mother when she was angry. Nonetheless, this was the first time she had the young lady talk in such a tone making her know that her young mistress was so mad this turn. She knew what kind of bloodline ran in Rhiannon's body and what they were capable of doing when they were mad. After all, she was still the one who had taken care of the young mistr
