“Give him whatever he wants!” Cynthia, who was ignorant about the business, gave in to Aries’s demand, and Isla couldn’t help but feel amused as she looked at her uncle.

“Cynthia, are you crazy?” Alfred raised his voice. “He is demanding a majority stake of 51% along with decision-making authority. Do you understand the meaning?” He berated her.

“Alfred, we need Aries on our side!” Cynthia argued.

“At this cost? This will ruin us!” He exclaimed in disapproval and turned to Mr. Johnson. “What is your opinion? You’re the head of the financial department. Don’t you think it’s a risky collaboration?”

“Aries Grayson is the leading name in the business world right now! Intelligent and extremely unpredictable. It is a risky collaboration, Mrs. Glaziers!” He glanced at Cynthia, and her smile vanished.

“But this collaboration could be remarkable in history. With a whopping investment of seventy million, Mr. Grayson offers his expertise and experience, which surpasses our investment threefo

    “Don’t you dare come close to Cara!” Janet’s voice was filled with anger as she threatened Sebastian over the phone, but he only laughed in response. “You’re a riot! That waitress wants to send your sweetheart behind bars and you want to save her?” He said. “I believe you would be the one to send her to heaven even if she thinks about it!” “Oh, shut up!” Janet rebuked. “I’m waiting for her testimony against you!” “You know that if she testified against me, my family won’t let her see another sunlight. Still wanna try, babe?” His mood lightened as he bantered with Janet. “Whatever! Let’s wait and see.” Janet’s nostrils flared in anger at Sebastian’s disregard as he chuckled. “Fuck off!” She ended the call. Sebastian was laughing, throwing his head back on the recliner when a man walked in. “The informer is here to see you, boss!” “Send him in.” Sebastian’s face turned serious as the informer held Cara’s fate and their plan of action. He lit his cigarette while the informer in a bl

    “Always speak the truth!” Little Cara listened to the wise words of her father. “No matter what, you should always choose honesty, even if it means facing the consequences.” His smile reflected on Cara’s face. “If you lie, Jesus will throw you into a difficult situation and nobody will help you!” “Not even, Daddy?” Cara asked. Her father chuckled. “Not even, Daddy!” “Ms. Cara Silencio!” Startled, she heard the judge call her name. “Are you all right, Miss Silencio? You appear pale.” Adjusting her position in the chair, Cara licked her chapped lips and grasped the microphone to speak. “I’m all right, thank you!” “So, Miss Silencio, it seems that you were the key witness to the crossfire incident that took place on March 29, 2019, at Park Street.” The judge looked at Cara. “Is that correct?” “Yes, that’s correct!” Cara said. “Would you please recall and tell us what you saw that fateful night” The prosecutor questioned and Cara nervously swallowed, stealing a sidelong glance at K

    [Mature Content] Cara gradually opened her eyes, only to be met with Sebastian's smirk. “Get lost!” Alfred gave him a sharp look, but it only widened Sebastian's grin. “Aye… Aye… it has been a long time since someone has used this tone with me!” Sebastian let out a lazy stretch, while Cara fought against Alfred's firm grasp on her wrist. Sebastian's gaze rested on Cara's face, which was contorted with panic and streaked with tears. “Come on, let the girl breathe!” He made an attempt to free Cara from Alfred's hold, but the latter became highly agitated and endeavored to forcefully drag Cara to his side. His action only intensified the rage of the mafia king of the country. Sebastian firmly held his throat. Cara stood aghast as Alfred gasped for air while Sebastian lifted him off the ground. “I have an aversion to repeating myself!” Alfred gently tapped the back of his hand to signal him to stop. “Will you behave now?” Sebastian arched an eyebrow and hurled him onto the road. “Are

    Keith dined at Cara’s café for breakfast and dinner over three days. He tried breaking the thin wall Cara created around her but failed. On the fourth night, he stood leaning against his car door. “Why is she taking so long?” He pondered over when a bike halted at the entrance. Keith frowned at the man in the black helmet and leather jacket who was waiting for someone until Cara showed up in a white crop top and high-waisted blue jeans. Her hair was up in a ponytail and she had light makeup on. “Let’s hit the club!” She sat behind the man on the bike, feeling the wind rush past her face as they sped away, and Keith made the split-second decision to follow them. At the club, Cara forgot all her worries while enjoying shots with Jasper and Lydia. “Woah!” Jasper watched Cara take another shot of vodka. “You’ve had enough!” He took her tumbler and led her to the dance floor. Cara smiled and hugged Jasper closely as they danced, unaware of Keith’s disapproving glares. “I’ll be back i

    Cara followed Keith into the kitchen. “Why did you say no? The broker offered me a $100 discount for the first three months.” She watched him whistle while chopping the vegetables. “Answer me!” She couldn’t help but smile back as Keith flashed her a cheeky grin and a wink. “Are you all right?” “Yes?” He lifted an eyebrow. “Do you find something wrong with me?” “I’ve never seen this side of you. Cheerful. Happy. Enjoying! What’s up with you?” She asked. Keith shifted his attention from the vegetables to Cara. “So, you want to see me tired, snooty, and rude?” “That side is detestable to me!” Keith chuckled and resumed his tasks. “But why aren’t you letting me shift to a new apartment? I have a job. I can provide for myself.” She took a stance by the kitchen island and confronted him. “Spare me your pity.” ~ KEITH~ As soon as I heard the word ‘pity,’ I let out a deep breath and released my grip on the knife. Cara’s beautiful eyes went wide as I trapped her to the kitchen counter.

    Outside the Genovese house, a black car pulled up. Janet made an appearance in a black, floor-length gown. She had her golden hair elegantly tied up in a bun and her diamond earrings were gleaming in her ears. The scarlet carpet guided her to the door, and her eyes widened as she observed the elite gathering within. A girl approached her with a tray of masks, and Janet chose a silver one. “Thanks!” Smiling, she donned the mask and joined the party. “Just finish your job and get out of this madness!” She said in her heart. “God, I hope I don’t bump into anyone from the past.” Standing under the opulent golden chandelier, she surveyed the room for Sebastian, but he was nowhere to be found. The lights slowly dimmed and as Janet turned to look for him, she came face to face with the hypnotizing black eyes. “Are you looking for me?” Sebastian stepped forward. “We need to talk!” Sebastian snaked his arms around Janet’s waist, pulling her close to him, and she felt his warm breath on h

    [MATURE SCENE AHEAD] Amidst the hustle and bustle of the cafe, Cara spotted Keith’s car parked outside through the clear glass window. The sight of him waiting for her made a smile spread on her lips, causing her to finish her work quickly and rush out to meet him. “Hey! I didn’t expect you to make it for lunch?” Leaning against the car door, Keith wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her in close. “I was missing you!” He smiled. “Look what I got for us!” He took out tickets from his pocket. “Bali!” She looked up at him with surprise in her eyes. “Let’s escape for a week!” He whispered in her ear, and Cara nodded like an excited child. “Now let’s eat something! My stomach is growling.” Cara chuckled as they walked into the café. They enjoyed lunch together and she couldn’t help but steal glances at him. He seemed to be preoccupied with something, and she wondered what was troubling him. “Is everything okay?” Keith glanced up from his food. “It’s nothing! Just work stre

    “Why are we in the garage?” Aries’s father was puzzled. Aries gestured to Mike and he pulled off the red velvet cover, revealing a stunning vintage blue car. Ace’s face contorted with surprise, and his eyes widened. “Oh, heavens! Where did you get this from?” He touched the car and then faced Aries. “My father had wished for it. I had to fulfill it at any cost!” Aries responded, causing Ace’s eyes to well up with tears. “I apologize for interrupting. I’m intrigued as to why this car is so exceptional?” Mike couldn’t help but ask. “My father, George Grayson, was a famous car designer. In his final days, he designed this and sold it to the company. Only three cars were made for this model. White, red, blue. I found two other cars, but not this one.” Ace gazed at the car, then turned to Aries. “Aries promised to get me this car! I am so proud of you!” He held his shoulder and smiled. “Thank you very much!” “Come on, Dad! Your wish is my command. Here are the keys!” He forwarded his

    “Let me go!” I cried out in terror as they threw me onto the freezing floor of the dungeon, and I observed the silhouettes of five towering figures looming over me in the dim, wavering light. One of them made a call to my father, Connor Blair. The closest ally and confidant of Anton Genovese, the most feared Mafia King of New York City. “If you’re willing to see Janet again, just do as I say!” The sound of their menacing voices on the phone call sent a shiver down my spine. “Let’s see who you choose between your precious daughter and loyalty to Anton Genovese.” He finished the call and glared at me with murderous eyes. Despite the threat of harm, my father remained loyal to the Genovese family and made the decision that left me to face the consequences of their anger alone. Realizing that I was now worthless to them, they resolved to present me as a gift to the Russian mafia to enhance their alliance in their struggle against Genovese. They handed me over to a group of Russian arme

  • Billionaire's Mistress Is A Hidden Heiress   Epilogue

    One year later, ~Veronica~ Today, for reasons I cannot fathom, my mind wandered back to the words Jasper spoke to me years ago. ‘Cara, the savior in a difficult situation, isn’t always the hero. The world we live in is not always kind, and not everyone you trust is virtuous. How come you are so gullible?’ As I reminisced about the past, I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, realizing how naïve I was back then. Or perhaps now I am wise enough to decipher the true meaning behind his words. As I take a stroll down memory lane, I am reminded of the angels that entered my life at just the right moment to rescue me. I would have died that night if it weren’t for Megan Morgan taking me in. Sandra consistently had my back and ensured I never went to bed hungry. Keith, who made me feel special even for a brief amount of time, and left behind all the differences between us in the past, I respect him for that. He made me experience love for a small amount of time and I am thankful for all th

    Gianna’s white halter dress fluttered in the wind as she paced outside her apartment, her heart racing with anticipation. Glancing at her wristwatch, she groaned, realizing that Keith was already twenty minutes late and her stomach grumbled with hunger. “I better go back inside and grab a bite,” she thought to herself and turned to head back into the apartment complex, letting out a sigh. However, a black range rover pulled up next to her, causing her to roll her eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest and fixated her gaze on the car door. Keith stepped out in a neatly tucked white shirt and black pants, spiking his hair to perfection. But it wasn’t him who caught her attention. Elijah made quite the entrance as he stepped out of the car, looking dapper in his black suit and carrying a bouquet of red roses that were almost as tall as he was. “Dad, help me!” Elijah struggled to hold them, and Keith sighed, bending down to take them from him. Elijah breathed a sigh of relief and fl

    Gianna glanced at her watch when she heard Elijah sitting next to her in the car. “You shouldn’t have disturbed Dad. He is always busy with work. He doesn’t like anyone interrupting him.” Keith’s attitude agitated Gianna. “If he refuses to support his son, how will my therapies be successful? I’m a doctor, not a magician!” As soon as the ten minutes were up, she gritted her teeth in frustration. “It would be wise for me to withdraw from this case.” She contemplated as Keith got into the car. “Hi!” he smiled and then his eyes moved to Elijah. “Why did you go to see the doctor alone? Why didn't you call me?” “I didn’t want to disturb you,” Elijah lowered his head. As Keith opened his mouth again, he caught Gianna's eye, and she gestured for him to take a deep breath and speak calmly. Keith followed her and put his hand on Elijah’s head. “Eli, are you upset with me?” “No,” he didn’t meet his eyes. Keith's internal conflict had been brewing, and he finally decided to confront the iss

    Aries pushed the plate of cookies forward. “Here,” “What do you mean?” Veronica lifted an eyebrow. A puzzled expression crossed Aries’s face. “Do you think I am cheating on you?” A look of hurt crossed her face and Aries could see tears swimming in her eyes. “Aries, I go to Keith’s place to spend some time with Elijah. Since you weren’t here, it’s hard for you to comprehend the special bond that Elijah and I share. I don’t want him to hold any grudges against Chase because I am too busy to give him the attention. It has nothing to do with Keith. I find him occupied with work in his office whenever I’m at his place. It’s just that today…...” Aries grabbed a cookie and stuffed it into her mouth. “Hold your horses, sweetheart!” He placed his hands on either side of her and locked his gaze with hers. “When did I say you’re cheating on me?” He lifted an eyebrow. “You’re still so stupid!” He playfully smacked her forehead and let out a chuckle. She takes the cookie out of her mouth. “I

    Elijah stood beside Veronica outside the principal’s office, absentmindedly tracing circles around her wedding ring with his thumb. “I’m sorry Veronica. I’ll never do this again.” She heard him say and looked down at him. “Sweetie, you are always so calm and patient. What went wrong?” Veronica ran her fingers through his hair. “He said bad words about Mom.” Elijah lowered his head, wrapping his arms around her waist. “Everyone in school thinks you’re my mom because I told them you’re marrying my dad!” He answered “They saw your wedding pictures on the internet and mocked me. They said I deserved to be motherless and I’ll always be miserable. Am I miserable, Veronica?” His sad eyes met hers as he looked up. “Of course not! Did you know your mom loved you the most?” She caressed his face. “And I love you. So much!” She planted kisses on his cheeks. “We all love you, baby!” The sound of heels clicking in the empty hallway caught their attention, and their eyes shifted to the woman in

    “Baby Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo… Baby Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo… Baby Shark…” Chase stole a glimpse at his father, who let out a frustrated groan after listening to the same song repeatedly. Chase’s face lit up with a wide smile while munching on another fruit snack, and he redirected his focus to the screen. “Mommy Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo… Mommy Shark…” “Fuck, I can’t take this anymore!” Agitated, he got out of bed and began pacing the room. “Stop playing this song or I’ll turn into a shark!” His glare made Chase twitch his mouth. “Go to sleep!” “No,” Chase shook his head. “Daddy Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo… Daddy Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo… Daddy Shark…” “Daddy Shark!” With a loud exclamation, Chase raised both hands into the air and began swaying his body to the tune. Veronica couldn’t help but stifle a laugh as she watched the father-son duo. “You’re really enjoying yourself, aren’t you?” Aries gazed at Veronica with eyes full of accusation. The baby shark song looped again in the back

    [MATURE SCENE AHEAD] ~Veronica~ As I rolled down the window, I couldn’t help but gaze out at the roads, trees, cars, and buildings speeding past me, just like the faint memories of my past life that seemed to fade away with each passing moment. It was all on a loop again. Cynthia and Alfred beating me up and kicked me out in the dead of the night. Encountering Keith and finding a short-lived sense of comfort. Meeting the captivating grey eyes right amidst shattering glasses. Aries saved me from the crossfire, risking his life. Keith’s rejection. Losing my baby. The club Flames of Sizzling Desires and the night Aries claimed me. “I have a question!” Keith’s voice seized my attention, causing me to face him next to me. “The news of your wedding left Elijah feeling very melancholic. He thinks you’ll stop visiting him.” He chuckled. “And he awakened some questions in me that I’d like to know from your stance!” His eyes settled on my face and I wondered what was in his mind. “Look, d

    “Why isn’t she picking up the damn calls?” Aries let out a frustrated sigh. “Are you sure she went to meet Cynthia?” His gaze shifted towards Isla. “I don’t think she would dare go to her. But it’s habitual for her to switch off her phone whenever she’s doing something that’s prohibited.” She pursed her lips in contemplation. “No, she won’t go to her ever! I should go and check.” She turned on her heels. “You’re not going anywhere!” They heard Liam’s firm voice. “The last time you visited her, you experienced a severe bout of depression.” Aries’s eyes moved to Isla. “But I’ve recovered! I don’t have any such issue. In fact, I don’t need medicines ever since Chase stepped into our life.” Her eyes briefly shifted to Chase in Aries’s grasp before settling on Liam. “I must check. It’s my mother who made Veronica’s life hell.” “The answer is still a firm no! I don’t want you anywhere near that evil woman. All she does is ruin people’s lives.” He finished his drink and made his way out
