“Why would Riana think of harming our baby? That baby means the world to her. Have you forgotten how you hurt her with a knife? Yet you denied it even though I was there and now you want to deny it?” Abel was so angry that he felt all his body vibration."I won't forgive you this time"If Avery could get pregnant from someone else then, there is nothing she can’t do.“What if I prove to you that Riana was guilty? Would you still accuse me of being wrong? Would you still blame me for the death of your child?”“There is no way she could intentionally harm my baby”“Believe me, I did not touch Riana. Wait a minute, let me prove it to you. I will call someone to check on her”Abel couldn't stand Avery's presence anymore. He ignored her and left.Riana was pale, and her color drained. She slumped into Abel's arms immediately after he came inside her room and wept.“Abel, Avery killed our baby. She was angry that you wanted to marry me. Promise me she won’t go unpunished,” she whimpered.“St
“You can’t do much Avery, because I paid my doctor huge money to help me out. The poor doctor needed some money to take his wife on vacation and I offered him what he wanted.” Riana smirked.Avery was numb. How could Riana deceive Abel to this extent? Riana recalled her conversation with Dr Matthew a few minutes ago. _____ “Tell my husband that I miscarried our baby, and I will pay you.” _____ “It ‘s against medical ethics. I could lose my license and get fired.” ______ “Does a hundred thousand dollars sound good to you?” Dr. Matthews palpated through his veins. He needed money to take his wife on vacation. Riana took his salience as an act of refusal. ____ “Two hundred thousand dollars?” ____ “Consider it done.” ____ I will protect you, Dr Matthew, and ensure you continue working in this hospital." “This morning, I overheard Abel talking with his sister Currie. She wanted him to apologize on my behalf because of what happened yesterday. So I came to your office to
Elizabeth’s heart was broken because her husband was not appreciative of Riana’s efforts towards their family.Despite how hard she tried, Peter could not appreciate her. She was most annoyed that he nearly revealed their long-held secret because he could not control his anger.“You never wanted a daughter, and that makes me a mistake, right?” Riana asked as tears welled up in her eyes.“Does it matter? I love you, and as long as I am concerned, you are my precious daughter. Don’t mind your father, he is unreasonable. He was heartbroken, and that was the reason for this irrational behavior. Please, we ought to concentrate on clearing the mess in Meghan’s group. How do we get the company back? This should be our major concern. After that, we can figure out how to get your brother released,” Elizabeth said.Riana was a scheming woman. She stared at Peter, who was now feeling exhausted from yelling, and nodded her head in agreement despite how hurt she felt at the moment. She would do wh
Avery settled herself on the couch. She took the remote control and put on her favorite show, then grabbed the box of cookies Tobias had given her earlier and eat from it. Shorty and her brothers stepped into the living room and made themselves comfortable. As soon as Adam was seated, he grabbed the cookie box and helped himself to some. “What happened to your neck?” Sebastian asked as he moved closer. “It’s nothing; I bumped into something at the office,” Avery lied. “Are you sure it’s not from Riana?” Sebastian asked. Earlier, Tobias had called him in the morning and told him what had happened at her office.“Not at all. I handled the little bitch the way she deserved,” Avery said. “What happened? Why did Riana come to your office?” Adam asked. “she came to cause trouble,” Avery said and told them what happened, except for the part where Abel tried to hurt her. The last thing Avery wanted was to cause another fight between Abel and her brothers. Thankfully, the bruise on he
“As you all know, Meghan’s group has over 200 stores on Mallory Avenue and over 500 across the nation. Our reputation has always been outstanding until certain individuals started spreading malicious rumors to tarnish our public image.”Jason looked at the phone and sneered.“Ms. Meghan is something else how can she stand proud to praise her company after its terrible reputation”Abel said nothing. He furrowed tightly.“The Clinton group was the first to expose your company’s counterfeit product. They have a great reputation and never have conflicts with anyone. Can you explain this? Riana’s face paled. “Meghan’s group has been around for over ten years. It was heartbreaking to witness something like this happening for the first time.”“So you admit Meghan’s group sells fake chemicals that could harm humans,” the reporter pressed onThe reporter’s statement caused a lot of murmuring in the hall.Riana’s face got gloomier as she clenched her fist.In the underground parking lot, Aver
“I still maintain that Meghan’s group doesn’t deal with fake products. The recent issue was not done on purpose. As you know, we have our company all over the nation, so I can’t be at the whole place all the time. Hence, the management was not aware that such a low-quality product was supplied to the Clinton Group. To tell you how sincere the Meghan company is, we don’t tolerate any evil and will punish whoever is involved, regardless of who they are. So we have punished the culprit, and right now I have taken over, and I promise you that such a thing will never happen again. But then we discovered that someone from the Clinton group aided this terrible behavior and corrupted the formal CEO of our company, Lucas Meghan, my brother, who is currently receiving his deserving punishment. But I still wonder why the Clinton group won’t let go. They pushed all the blame on us, painting us black and refusing to forgive the past mistakes even when their men were the caused of the entire proble
The press conference ended unexpectedly in complete disorder and confusion.The reporters gathered at the hotel entrance, while the security men tried their best to get the disgraced Riana inside her car.It was the most humiliating moment for Riana. She had underestimated Avery. How could she know that most of the reporters in the conference hall were sent by Avery? She must be stupid to think that she can fight the Clinton family. What hurt Riana most was that Abel was nowhere to be found, and that made her heart break into pieces. However, one thing was sure: Abel must be somewhere watching what was going on. Wouldn’t he at least come to her rescue? Just as the thought was going on in Riana’s mind, Jessica opened the car door and she hurriedly ran into her car in shame. She refused to stay back in her hotel room because of the intensity of the situation. Immediately Jessica slapped the car door shut. Riana rested her head on the seat and closed her eyes in pain. She allowed the
Jason was startled at Abel’s sudden response and refused to give up.When Jason saw Avery flirting with the handsome man, and how Abel’s face changed color, he lifted his lips in a smile.Is my boss angry or jealous? He thought.“Ms Clinton looks so beautiful, and who is that handsome man with her?” Jason asked casually. He stared at Abel through the rearview mirror and saw him clenching his fist.Abel narrowed his eyes. It was as if a great storm was brewing in his head. His throat squeezed so tight that he found it difficult to breathe.“Avery Clinton, you are such a shameless woman! How could you jump into relationships immediately after you signed the divorce papers and now you are already pregnant with this worthless stranger,” Abel thought to himself.Avery slapped the man joky on his shoulder and curled her red lips. She looked so cute in that manner.Abel gnashed his teeth, and his hands trembled at the sight. He felt chills all over his body."Why did Avery look so happy?" He
