CHAPTER 108: One Night...

(The Croft's Palace, Los Angeles.)

"Are you for real?!" Naomi gasped wide eyed. Elva had just told her about her and Natalia's adventure.

Elva casually nodded and picked up a finger sandwich. Naomi blinked repeatedly and sipped her wine in one gulp like it'ld cool her off!

"So this party is somewhat filled with people you previously knew?" Elva nodded again.

"That's epic!" She gushed. "Tell me more!"

"If I keep on talking, it won't be fair to the number of guys hangin' around to ask you for a dance." She teased and Naomi looked around.

"And how are you sure they aren't after you?"

"If they were, do you really think I'ld be idling around here with you??'' She cocked a wicked brow.

Naomi gasped again. But her face turned gloomy all of a sudden.

"It's a shame that the only person I want would probably never look my way ever."

"Hey! I was only guessing because I'd never seen Jake loo

No one can equal your badmouth and fiery attitude." "Is that an insult??" She shrieked and bulged her eyes. "No!" Elva hastily breathed. Nicky grudgingly weighed the compliment and decided it was worth accepting. "I never said you could touch me!" She yapped and Elva quickly let go. She slowly sat down back. "Continue!" Elva smiled. "We're sorry for not telling you. We had no choice. Natalia's grandmother ordered us not to." Nicky partially looked at her. "I heard what happened. I'm sorry. How's Natalia doing?" Elva looked gloomy for a while. "She...she's healing slowly but I know she'll survive. She has to." Nicky nodded softly. "You have two more minutes!" She declared and Elva gasped. "Well I just

"Good morning, young master Argent. The painkillers are ready and your family are waiting for you downstairs to have breakfast." He placed something on his bedside table and left. Arian twitched his eyes and saw the cup brimming with hot coffee and reached for it. But something... Or rather, someone restricted him. Selena! Mom Rose had seized all the keys to Arian's bedroom because of his suicidal tendencies. She was afraid he'ld try something stupid with his life again. Therefore, he couldn't even have his own privacy! The hot French furrowed his brows in a frown and roughly pulle

She quickly explained to her what happened....with less details. "May refused to take us back because of the mud on our clothes so we walked instead. You should see her! She's more elegant than most people in rich clothes." She smiled and crossed her legs. "Oh." Elva breathed and absentmindedly brushed her hair while Natalia applied moisturizer on her skin. "We spent the night in his family's vacation house." "There's nothing else?" "What do you mean?" She raised her head. Elva shrugged again. "I dunno. What the house looked like?" "It was nice and homely." "Any maids?" "No, not really. The house staffs come in the morning and leave at night." "So what happened when you two got back??" The gossipy bestie stubbornly persisted. And Natalia forced herself to not

    CHAPTER 112 : Your Slutty Bedmate! ( Beverly Hills, California.) Nicky patiently sat on the bed, reading a novel and waiting for Jeffrey to get home. He'd been out all day and she was starting to get worried. It was almost eleven at night and he was not picking her calls or replying her texts. For the past few days, Nicky had noticed he'd been acting weird and secretive. Mom Felicity noticed too but she couldn't do much because she had no idea why herself. Nicky pretended it was okay because she didn't want to stress her or the baby anyways. Just as she flipped the next page, the door knob rattled and Jeffrey walked in. He froze on his tracks seeing her. Nicky casually raised her head and smiled. "Hey." He called out and walked over to peck her but she shifted, letting it land on her cheek instead. "Why did you look surprised to see me?" "I thought you'ld be asleep by now. You've never waited up for me any time you

I've been cheating on you with her behind your back. I wanted you to date me so I could play you." "Shut up!" She screamed and tumbled to the floor. "I only dated you to get into bed with you. I selfishly stole your first kiss. I only wanted to be with you because I found you attractive. I didn't tell you the truth about Selena because I wasn't yet done with you.'' She sobbed uncontrollably but Arian wasn't done. "I didn't tell you about the engagement party because I wanted to humiliate you. I acted like a selfish asshole because I wanted to see you hurt and broken." He squatted and forcefully took her hands in his, hot tears burning down their cheeks. "My love, now that you've heard all you wanted to, can you please forgive me? Now that I've taken the blame for our failed relationship, ca

    CHAPTER 114: The Invincible Criminal Organization. "I'm glad you could make it." Esmond smiled and graciously drew out Natalia's chair. She returned his smile and sat. Natalia stared around at the classy five-star restaurant and noticed they were the only ones in. "Don't tell me you booked the entire restaurant so we could talk about the university?" She mused as soon as the waiters left. Esmond looked up from the menu and smiled. "Well, you got me. It's for three reasons you'll eventually get to know." The waiters filled their glasses with wine after they had ordered and left them to themselves. Natalia positioned her napkin well and looked up to catch his handsome gaze on her. She raised a brow questioningly and he gave that infectious smile again. "I'm sorry. It's just... You look really beautiful tonight." Natalia smiled and casually looked down at her dress. The red fitted dinner gown had a single strap which went over her s

Go back to your visitor." She walked past him downstairs but he forcefully made her stop. "Stay for lunch." "Thanks but I can't. I only came to check up on you. And obviously, you're fine! So please excuse me." He took a step closer and framed her face. "Are you mad at..." "Mad? Why would I be mad?" She innocently smiled. He truthfully shrugged. "I don't know. Well, you're not reacting the way you used to and I'm shocked that no one is bleeding yet." Elva breezed out a laughter and sashayed over to the living room. She tossed her phone on one couch and her purse on the opposite couch before turning around to face him with the brightest smile he'd ever seen! Ricky blinked repeatedly, having a bad premonition.

    CHAPTER 116 : Kiss Me, Arian! ( Beverly Hills, California. ) The light from Naomi's laptop made her sleepy. It was two hours after midnight but she wasn't yet done with the report she had to submit first thing in the morning. Sitting Indian style on her office floor made her legs cramp! She couldn't sit on her office chair either because her butt felt stiff. Her grey eyes were dull and for the first time, she let her ponytail fall free. A light knock sounded on the door and Jake walked in. Lifting her head, she saw him shake a white paper bag in his hand before kicking the door behind silently. "I saw your lights on so I guessed you might still be working." He dropped the paper bag before crashing on the floor near her. Naomi's eyes widened in disbelief, either because he was sitting next to her or because of how casual he looked. His suit jacket and bugs were nowhere around and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. It was the closes

She stated, playing their usual nightly 'what' game.....which usually followed the same pattern. Arian seductively wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. "We have the rest of the night to ourselves." He deliciously bit his lips and swept down to capture hers.But Natalia stepped away. "I need to check if the twins have yanked their heads off already." She tried to escape but Arian blocked her. "You're just coming from the nursery." He sexily pouted and Natalia almost gave in. She shook her head to reject the temptation. "I think it's time for Adrian's milk." She tried again but Arian easily caught her. "Adrian's asleep and his milk isn't until midnight. So..." He kissed her and slowly

    CHAPTER 184 : Epilogue (2). ( Beverly Hills, California. ) "By the way, where is Jake?" Elva curiously asked. "He had some work to do and promised to be here this evening." Naomi answered. Natalia had set up a special committee of her most trusted ministers to hold the Empire for a few days. Jake was among the members so he had a little delay. "I really admire you." Naomi continued, taking the attention away from herself. "Being an Empress, a wife, a mother, a philanthropist and also a role model, all in one package!" She dramatised. "It's no wonder you haven't changed much with three kids! On the contrary, it made you hotter. I'm just expecting my second child but I feel like a granny!" Nicky joked and fondly rubbed her huge baby bump. "No! You're not a granny. You're my mommy." Louisa raised her head and pouted.The girls giggled when Nicky blushed. "It's no wonder you don't miss Jeffrey whenever he goes away on b

"Stressful." She pouted. "I know, right? This champ is quite a handful at night.'' He tickled Adrian who hung on his neck like King kong. "Da-da! Da-da!!" He squealed happily which echoed arouund the room. "As if you weren't a handful yourself." She scoffed and turned away, pulling the duvet closer around her. It made Natalia a little jealous that Adrian hadn't yet learnt to call her mama. In fact, Dada was the only word he knew! Arian noticed it and chuckled, pulling her back to face him. As usual, he was shirtless wearing only sweatpants. Some habits were just so hard to break! Not that Natalia was complaining though. It made her husband look uncontrollably sexy! Adrian grinned down at his mama in his diapers. Fa

    CHAPTER 182 : The Seal Of Their Love. ( Astheria, Australia. ) Still sitting on the floor, Naomi slowly arranged her things inside a cardboard box. She shivered a bit because she was still wearing her clothes. But Naomi didn't care. There was more important things to be done than caring if she had gotten a cold by wearing her wet clothes for so long that it'd dried still on her. A knock sounded on the door. "Please go away. I'm a little busy." Her hoarse voice sounded. Naomi knew the visitor wasn't on an official business. If the Empress or the royal assistant needed her, they'ld have easily sent an email. And so far, they hadn't. Naomi couldn't blame them though. She felt embarrassed and hated her family's history. And after everything they had done to the Santianas, she couldn't bare to look at anyone anymore. After a while, the knock sounded again and this time, the person walked in without consent. Naomi didn't bother to l

Just make it as quick as possible." The aged doctor whispered and walked away. Elva Thompson and Jake Buniz nodded before walking into the Royal study. They found Natalia leaning on her desk, gently running her fingers over her grandmother's diary. Louis had kept it safe like he'd promised. "You should be resting. Doctor's orders." Elva let out a small frown in displeasure. "I'm fine." Natalia curtly said and stood up. The thick sweats she was wearing matched with her pale skin. She returned the diary to one of the drawers and faced them back. "Tell me. The casualty report?" She ordered. "We lost a good number of our men while the rest are being taken care of." Jake reported. "And Max?" Jake lowered his cold eyes in hes

    CHAPTER 180 : The Battleground (3). ( In The Carribean Ocean.) The Mob boss snickered which sounded like something made in hell and back hugged Natalia, erotically pulling her closer. Arian fought the impulse to take a step and lunge at him! He was purposely riling him up to draw him into the sensors! "Tsk! Don't make her feel bad!" He clicked his tongue. "You were smart, my love. But sentimentality was all I needed to sneak into your lives.... And you gave it to me." He nuzzled her hair and possessively trailed kisses down her neck. Arian's insides cringed feeling his control slowly snap while Natalia's self hate increased each passing second. "Let her go!" Arian snarled, running out of patience and clenched his fists. "And you expect me to ask 'Or what?'." Leonardo cocked a cocky brow. "Look around you, fool! We ain't in some shitty movie. This is my turf! I run this freaking game!" He viciously barked. "What do you want?" A

Meanwhile, the automatic doors trapping Arian De' Argent in the hallway reopened after the lights had suddenly turned off and returned after five seconds. Arian turned to continue the search for his love but stopped when Naomi froze....and then fainted. He hastily caught her before she could crash land. "Hey, hey!" He called seeing her drowsy eyes. "What..." The French heir froze on his interrogation when he saw four darts pierced into her pretty brochette and a fifth one stuck on the skin of her neck. Naomi had thrown herself in front of Arian when she noticed the danger he was in without thinking. Arian pulled them out and tapped her lightly. "Hey, stay with me, okay?" The timid spy tried to nod but the snake venom was working tremendously fast, already at the second stage of the symptoms which was total paralysis. "Hey!" Arian yelled. "What?!" Max yelle

    CHAPTER 178 : The battleground (1). ( In The Carribean Ocean.) "Who do you want to go first?" He casually, but deviously asked. The gunshots continued more fiercely and through the cameras, Natalia and the few in the room could see the gory battle going on. As observers seeing the whole battle ground, anyone could bet that Astheria had an upper hand! "The only game we'll be playing is the one you'll be losing." She seethed in confidence. Leonardo coldly smirked which gave her goosebumps for some reason before placing his hand on a screen which scanned his fingerprints. "Good evening, Master. How may I be of service?" The voice of an artificial intelligence echoed from thin air. "Ava, place the fortress on lockdown." He ordered. "As you wish, Master." A moment later, metal doors sprung up trapped everyone in. Those who were fighting outside couldn't get in and those who were in couldn't get out. Natalia's heart skipped a be

The geniuses among the little battle squad was in the same tent, doing what they did best with the gadgets and devices in there. They were all dressed the same with silent and serious features. "She should've made contact by now." The Captain of the army continued. "Let's think more positively. It could be that Naomi hasn't yet located the Empress.... Even though it's not really a positive thought. However, you above everyone else knows how shady these Kelions are. There's still a few hours till midnight. We should give her a little more time." Max offered, more relaxed than his superior as as he typed away on a computer. "I trust my instincts. And right now, something doesn't feel right." Jake stopped behind him and leaned over with a hand on his chair and the other on the table.
