Rose, who was busy with her phone, didn't notice Luthor and Maya walking towards her until Luthor called her. “Little Rose, sorry for keeping you waiting.” Luthor called her by the nickname he gave her, making Rose raise her head up. Her eyes quickly landed on the elderly woman beside Luthor and she didn't need to be told who she was because she already took a guess. Noticing where her eyes were on, Luthor quickly gestured to his mother. " This is my mother." He told her and Rose slowly nodded her head before standing up from her seat. “It's nice to meet you Mrs. Hoult." She greeted and did a small bow to her. Maya was taken aback by the gesture and quickly waved her hand. “Oh dear. Young Miss, please someone like you shouldn't bow like that to me." She nervously said and Rose raised her head up. Rose bowing to Maya was a sign of respect and politeness, reflecting her good manners and understanding of social etiquette. Maya's reaction, however, revealed her humility, as she fe
Meanwhile, outside the restaurant, different black vans caught the attention of passerby outside the restaurant as they watched the cars and vans parked right outside the restaurant. The people in the vans and cars who were all hefty men alighted from the vehicles and strolled confidently into the restaurant. The sudden appearance of these men quickly caught the customers' attention and the peaceful tranquility instantly destroyed with some of the customers' faces turning pale. Noticing the change in atmosphere, Rose who was half way through her meal raised her head up and glanced at the restaurant entrance that was filled with some not-friendly looking men. A frown quickly appeared on her face because she could tell that these men are here to have a meal and they were here to do the opposite. She took a glance at Luthor and noticed the small frown on his face as well when he saw the men. “Wow, I thought this place was no longer operating, but thanks to a nice little birdie who to
"But I have already explained this situation to your boss and he agreed to give me some more time to pay the previous money. I know I know I'm a bit late with the payment but please try to understand my situation and I promise it will be ready by the end of this month.” Maya replied, this was not what she had discussed with Byron's Boss, who is the person she had borrowed the money from. "We did. However, because you've avoided and ignored us, our boss is no longer interested in giving you some time anymore, so he has canceled the agreement he made with you. He has ordered us to collect every previous money you're owing.” Byron lazily rubbed the inside of his ears with his pinky finger like he was bored to death as he replied to Maya. “You fucking assholes!" Amelia couldn't take it anymore and yelled furiously at them as she left Luthor's side and walked towards where her mother was standing. "Ah, Amelia darling. I didn't know you were also around. It's good to see your beautiful f
“Hen…..ry….. Henry, why…..have….you done this to….me?” Roseline managed to ask while clutching her chest. Her voice quivered with a mix of disbelief, betrayal, and heartache as she struggled to comprehend the pain inflicted by Henry's action. The weight of betrayal pressed down on her, causing a surge of agony to course through her body. Her face completely turned pale and her pupils locked tightly as she stared at the man who had just stabbed her with a dagger.She could never imagine that she could be stabbed by the man she loved and trusted the most after all these years they've been together and today of all days that was their special day.Where have things gone wrong? This wasn't how she imagined her blissful life to be with the man she loved.**********A few minutes earlier.A wedding anniversary was being held on a luxurious cruise ship. The entire ship was decorated with fancy lightning and different kinds of ribbons and flowers. The guests dressed in expensive attires sat d
Roseline was aware of the abnormal closeness between her husband and younger sister, but she had chosen to turn a blind eye and trust her husband no matter what. Despite the fact that she wanted to trust Henry, there were sometimes when she got angry and infuriated seeing them together, but she always believed that Henry loved her just as much as she did for him.‘Perhaps those two are still preparing the surprise, but I can't help but feel impatient seeing how much time it's taking them. I should probably go and find them so that they can show me whatever surprise it is.’ Roseline thought to herself again, starting to feel uneasy with the amount of time both Henry and Sophia were taking and she couldn't find her parents anywhere to ask them. “Please excuse me, I have to go and look for my husband." Roseline told the guest she was with and excused herself away from them and headed to the elevator that leads to the next floor since she had seen both of them entering the elevator earlie
Roseline rushed out of the elevator in hurried steps. She balled her hand into a fist in anger not expecting to see what Henry would chase after. She still doesn't have a full understanding why he would cheat on her with her own step sister and given the way they were so intimate she was sure that they'd been having that secret affair for a very long time.Feeling completely disgusted thinking about what she had witnessed earlier, Roseline decided to change her direction and head to the bancoly of the ship on the second floor. She knew Henry would soon reach the second floor seeing how he had asked her to stop earlier so it's better for her to divert his attention.Roseline gazed at the full moon, reflecting on the ocean water with a blank expression. Her marriage was supposed to be different from this betrayal by her husband. She loved him too much and was hurt by what he did to her. She remembered herself telling him a few minutes ago that today was one of the happiest days of her li
She shivered. She was in extreme pain not from being stabbed but her heart was the one in the pain right now. Her heart sank hopelessly into the dark. Right there and then, her whole world collapsed in front of her. “Aren't you too smart, sister? It was easy for you to connect the dots. That's right you've been poisoned." Sophia admitted, all smiles in mockery at Roseline. Roseline gulped. She remembered that Sophia had brought her drink earlier to drink. She didn't think much about it and happily collected it from her sister not knowing that it was already poisoned by Sophia. “How could you do this to me?" No, why are you both doing this to me?! Answer me, Henry and stop hiding behind Sophia like a coward!" Roseline yelled furiously at Henry. She hadn't had the chance to ask Sophia why she was also doing this to her since it was obvious that she might be jealous of her. She needed answers from Henry himself. “What exactly do you mean by that you've been enduring me for the past te
Every single time that she falls sick, her mother, or to be more precise, her stepmother is the one who always takes care of her. There was even a time when she exhausted herself while taking care of her one time . How could that be all fake? Then it suddenly occurred to her, her father had been acting strangely lately. He kept calling her to have a meal with him, sometimes he'd ask her to visit him and spend a few days at the mansion. He showed her much more love than usual like he was going to lose her to the past few months and days. But she thought that it was because he misses her so much that he was acting strangely. At the same time, her father had also been the one to arrange this wedding anniversary for her. He kept saying that he wanted her to have a memorable wedding anniversary for the past four years she had been married. So how could all this happen of he hadn't planned it or arranged it in the first place? Even if she screamed at this rate, it was useless because no o
