(Flashback)Elijah's voice reverberated through the room as he yelled, "How dare you come into my room!"Tears streaming down her face, the lady trembled and replied, "I'm sorry, Sir. It was you who forced me."Elijah, fueled by anger, sneered, "You're just an ordinary maid. Why would I bring you into my room?"The commotion caught the attention of the rest of the Yekkel family. Yekkel, perplexed, approached the scene and asked, "Grace, what happened?"Sobbing, Grace found herself on her knees, desperately begging for understanding. "Mr. Elijah came back completely drunk. I helped him to his room, but then he grabbed me and forced himself on me," she narrated, her voice filled with anguish.Elijah retorted in disbelief, "What nonsense! I would never do that!"Interrupting the heated exchange, Yekkel sternly commanded, "Silence, Elijah!"The situation escalated when Olivia, Elijah's wife, slapped Grace accusingly. "You dare to sleep with my husband!" she exclaimed, her face contorted
June strolled leisurely along the bustling streets, relishing the change in scenery after feeling worn out from school. Lost in her thoughts, she accidentally collided with a man, prompting her to quickly apologize."I'm sorry," June said, slightly flustered by the unexpected encounter.As their eyes met, the man found himself captivated by her mesmerizing blue eyes, flowing locks of wavy hair, and petite frame. It was as if he had glimpsed her beauty for the first time, despite feeling a faint sense of familiarity."Mr," June called out, realizing he seemed lost in his own world.Bernard snapped back to reality, a hint of confusion lingering on his face. "Uhhm, no worries," he replied, offering a polite response.With a curious expression, June couldn't help but wonder aloud, "I know you from somewhere, right?"Bernard pondered for a moment before responding, "I think so."Her memory suddenly sparked, and June's face lit up with recognition. "Ahhh, you were one of the men who was w
Cara stepped outside the company premises to handle the arrival of a recent delivery. Just as the delivery man departed, a car suddenly accelerated towards her with alarming speed. Shocked by it, she remained glued to the spot, unable to move, until he got pulled out of the way.David, who happened to be on the verge of leaving, spotted Cara's situation and sprinted towards her, swiftly yanking her to safety while tightly embracing her.Cara's rapid breaths echoed in the air, indicating her shock, and David understood that she was deeply shaken. He held her tightly, offering reassurance. "You're safe now," he whispered soothingly.Nodding in agreement, Cara clung to him, finding solace in his presence. Gradually regaining her composure, she gently withdrew from their embrace. "I think I should go inside now," she said, signaling her intention.David nodded, watching her retreat with concern engraved on his face.Meanwhile, Sage seethed with anger, realizing he had missed his intended
As she raised her head, her hands inadvertently slipped off the table, causing the diary to tumble to the ground.She quickly retrieved the fallen diary and carefully placed it alongside the others on the shelf.Sonia had learned from a previous experience that Nathan couldn't be trusted with such matters. Thus, she made up her mind to give the picture to someone she had complete faith in.Sonia dialed a familiar number on her phone, initiating a conversation with Alberto."Hello." Her soft voice rung in his ears."Hello, beautiful." He replied in a deep baritone melting her heart."Are you still at the office?" She asked."Do you miss me?"Sonia couldn't help but giggle at his playful question."Very much, but I've sent you an envelope containing the name and picture of a lady. Could you please check it for me?""Sure, I'll do that." He responded willing to do anything for her.Just as Alberto received the call, Cara walked into his office, holding an envelope in her hand. She approa
A photograph of Shaw sitting peacefully in a park arrived in Cole's inbox. As soon as he laid eyes on it, his phone rang, indicating an incoming call.Cole answered, a sense of urgency in his voice, "If you even think about harming a single hair on his head..."Cara interrupted, attempting to calm Cole down, "Relax, now you can understand what it feels like to be on the receiving end. To constantly live with the knowledge that your life or the life of someone you deeply care about is in danger."Cole's mind raced, realizing that Cara had protected David not just because he was Shaw's grandson but because she genuinely cared about him. "Maybe she loves him," he thought to himself.Curiosity getting the better of him, Cole inquired, "So tell me, is it an unrequited love?"Confused, Cara asked, "What do you mean?"Cole pushed further, "The love you have for that fool—does he even know?"Annoyed, Cara snapped back, "Don't you dare call him that. Listen, I'll make you an offer: back off
A loud bang echoed through the room as a bullet tore through the wall, narrowly missing Alberto's ear. His heart raced, adrenaline surging through his veins. The close call made him freeze, his eyes wide with shock.Sonia stood there, her hands trembling, the gun still in her grip. The memories of their past flooded her mind, causing conflicting emotions to stir within her. Deep down, she wanted to hurt him, to make him feel the same pain he had inflicted upon her. But something held her back.As Sonia looked at Alberto, she couldn't ignore the remains of love that lingered in her heart. Despite the hurt he had caused, there was a part of her that still cared for him. Conflicted, she turned away, her footsteps echoing as she walked away from the scene.Alberto, who had believed that the gunshot marked the end of his life, slowly opened his eyes. Astonished, he realized that Sonia had intentionally missed. In that moment, he understood that this wasn't over; she had spared him for a re
Nathan was minding his own business when a constant banging on his door disrupted his peace. Irritated by the noise, he finally decided to open the door, only to be greeted by a forceful kick to his stomach."Ahhh," Nathan groaned in pain, clutching his abdomen."How dare you!" Sonia yelled, her voice filled with anger and frustration.She followed up her words with a powerful punch to Nathan's face, causing blood to trickle from his mouth."What the hell is wrong with you?" Nathan questioned, his face contorted in pain."You want to know what's wrong with me? I'll show you!" Sonia responded, her fury evident as she aimed another punch at him. However, Nathan managed to evade the blow."You dare to dodge?" she exclaimed, charging towards him and delivering a swift kick that sent him crashing against the wall.Nathan clutched his stomach, trying to alleviate the pain, but Sonia grabbed his hair and forcefully threw him onto a nearby table. The table under the impact, broke in half, whi
June anxiously stood outside Sonia's door, waiting for her dear friend to open it. As soon as the door swung open, June couldn't contain her excitement and immediately wrapped Sonia in a warm hug."Sonia!" June exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine joy.Sonia, slightly taken aback by June's unexpected visit, asked, "June, what are you doing here?""I came to see you," June replied, her arms still tightly wrapped around Sonia. Together, they walked into Sonia's cozy apartment."It's nice to see you too," Sonia said, a genuine smile gracing her face. However, her expression quickly shifted as a realization hit her. "Wait, did you skip school?" Sonia asked, suddenly remembering that June was supposed to be attending classes.June pouted and replied, "Maybe a little."Sonia's voice took on a more serious tone as she reprimanded, "You shouldn't be doing that, June.""Okay, I will start going then," June teased, pretending to make a move towards the door.Sonia quickly interjected, not
"There is more" Alberto toyed with her hair, "I'm excited for more" she hopped around, He took her a beautiful Villa which looked more luxurious than the Vin's mansion. "Wow, this is amazing, you own this" she enjoyed the scenery, "We own it" he held the keys in his hands, "This is ours" she was astonished, "Yes, I want us to start our family here and raise our children together" he said. He had gotten a new place because he wanted to start a fresh without old memories from his past. "So you want more children" she teased, "One more maybe" he caressed her face, "I don't know" she shaked her head, "I want us to create memories here" he said meaning every word as he hugged her closely from behind, "Your family could live with us when they are in town" he added. "I would love that" she leaned closer, "There is more than enough room for all of us" he said, "Alberto" she called softly, "Hmm" "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me" she said
The weekend flew by really fast and it was a perfect time for Alberto to surprise Sonia. He woke her up with a kiss. "Good morning" he greeted, "Good morning" she replied, "You look beautiful even when you sleep" he kissed her hands, "Let me sleep" she ruffled the duvet, "No more my Queen. Today is a special day" he dragged the duvet, "Why, is it your birthday" she wasn't ready to get up, "No. Just take a shower and get ready" he said, "Okay" She obeyed excitedly. He had promised to take her out while she was in the hospital and right now she knew that it was time. Alberto got all dressed up and waited for Sonia. "Good morning Alberto" Charlotte walked in with Montessori. "Good morning Mr and Mrs" he greeted, "You look good" Charlotte praised him, "Thank you" he gestured, "Now where is my favorite grandchild" she asked excitedly, Alberto had invited the Montessori to take care of kadmiel while they were gone. "Sleeping in his room" he replied
A distress call reached through to Bernard phone, "Hello, who is this?" he asked, "This is your father" A deep commandeering voice replied, "How did you find me" he inquired. After Bernard was sent away from his family he vowed to make sure his family never finds him, "You made yourself impossible to find intentionally" Lucious was annoyed after finding out the truth, "Yes" "Where are you" Lucious asked, "You should already know" he replied, "I want you to return back now" Lucious commanded, "I can't do that, no one wants me there" he refused, "I know that it was your brother that sent you away but I need you back" Lucious attempted to beg but his words failed him, "What for" Bernard asked discontent, "Will you do as I say" Lucious demanded, "Is he dead" Bernard refered to his older brother, "No" "Then don't bug me" He didn't see the reason to return back, "I am fine here" "Listen to me young man, you will come back home this instant, that is an or
"June are you in" Sonia walked into her room. "June, you are gonna be late" she pulled the duvet off her body, "What time is it" June asked sleepily, "It's late in the afternoon" Sonia replied sitting close to her, "Oh no, I'm gonna be late for my flight" she sprung up, rambling through her things trying to tidy them up. She had cried throughout the night because of her incident with Bernard and was only able to sleep in the morning. What he did to her hurt her very much to the point that she felt a stabbing pain in her chest. "Relax, Alberto can book another one for you" There was nothing Alberto couldn't since he had now become the richest man in Rome because of his international collaboration that became successful all over the world. "No, if I don't arrive early I might miss my audition" June threw some clothes into her bag, trying to move at a faster pace. "Is that so" Sonia asked, "Yes" "Then hurry up, I will pack your things" Sonia rushed her to t
After Sonia got discharged, June watched the baby all the time preventing anyone from touching him including Sonia. "Don't you think you are overreacting" Sonia had attempted countless times to snatch back her baby, "I am leaving soon, this is the only thing I can do, I feel so helpless" June sounded dejected, "Do you have to go that early" Sonia asked, "Yes, or else i will miss my audition" June had everything sorted out upon her arrival in Barcelona, "Look at you all big and grown up. Can I have my child now" Sonia ordered, "Okay fine. I just feel sad that when next I see him he won't recognize me" June pulled a long face, "Ofcourse he won't" Sonia didn't bother sympathizing with her, "That's not helping" she felt sad, "It's the truth young lady"Sonia left to check up on Alberto who had been busy all day with work. "A penny for your thoughts" she said, "Hmm, are you already missing me" he felt complete with her presence, "We are" she touched the baby
At the hospital, Sonia was screaming on top of her lungs, "Ma'am, I'm gonna need you to push harder. At the count of three, one, two, three" the nurse compelled her. Sonia pushed with all her strength. "We are almost there, just one more time, Push!" she pushed again and the head of the baby came out. "For the last time, Push!" A cry of a baby was heard and Alberto who was pacing up and down relaxed himself. "Sir, it's a boy" A nurse informed him. He smiled and slowly took his seat. June was already dancing round when she heard the news, she now had a nephew and Raphael couldn't stop laughing at her. "Alberto, it's a boy" Sonia said immediately he stepped in with the boy in her arms. Alberto looked at the splitting image of him and Sonia, with blue eyes, curly hair and a cute face. "He is beautiful" he touched his face, "Yes. Alberto, could you hold on to him for a second" she inquired, Alberto carried the baby from her arms and she fell to
June refused to go anywhere exquisite because she was still angry with Bernard, so they decided to have a family dinner as per her request. "So after this June where will you go, would you like to work in my company" Sonia didn't want her to stay away from them, she was already family to them. "I would love to but I have other plans" she replied, "What are they?" Sonia asked, "I want to go Barcelona to start my music career" she said, "Why there" Sonia was curious, she could start it here and no one will dare mess with her because she would have the full support of Alberto. "I have always wanted to go there" she answered, "Are you sure you are not just running away from Bernard" Raphael asked feeling guilty, "I have no business with him" she sternly said looking at Bernard who was quiet since. "Can I come with you" Raphael smiled, "Sure, if Alberto would allow you" she replied. "When are you leaving so that I can prepare my heart for such heartbreak" Sonia'
Some months had passed since the death of Arnold, leaving the family in peace. It was already time for June's graduation and she was excited about it, Bernard couldn't even miss it for anything in the world, in a span of one year, he had watched her grow into a lovely beautiful woman. They all waited outside for June to make an entrance, her smile alone showed how happy she was. She was dressed in a beautiful black dress and they were all striken in awe by her beauty. Bernard wasn't left out as he stood dazed, this was the first time he has seen her looking extremely beautiful even without much makeup, she was already stunning. Alberto kept his nonchalant behaviour lifting his head up and leaning on the car, what intrigued him more was how foolishly Bernard was looking at June which also became funny to Raphael who was struggling to contain his giggle. Sonia became emotional and started crying, her stomach was already big and any moment from now she might give birth.
Alberto sprinted immediately and took cover behind a wall. "You have no where to hide now Alberto" Arnold ran his mouth laughing. He had found a piece of hope and was going to use it to the fullest, if they hadn't arrived in time, then perhaps he would have been dead. "Go out there and kill him" Arnold ordered. The guards moved out to attack Alberto who was now surrounded by the vast number of them. With shards of glass shattered on the floor, Alberto used it to pinpoint each guards location and shot each and every one of them until about ten remained. Then he began hunting them, he moved towards the other end of the wall and found two guards walking towards him, he didn't waste time to finish them off. He thought of how Sonia and June were fairing, if this number of guards came to attack him then how much more them. He became furious and moved with a greater speed. Two guards were again getting closer to him and he shot them before they could even see him.
