“Find out who killed Celina. The culprit should not go unpunished,” Evanston said, looking at Officer Ben.

Ben was in charge of Celina's case. He just arrived at the hospital where the crime had taken place.

Evanston was furiously looking at the two security men. His face was dark and his veins bulged under his suit.

He rushed into the hospital as soon as he heard the news. Looking at the two security men who were supposed to guard Celina, his eyes turned red.

“What kind of security men are you? How could you allow yourselves to be deceived despite your experience?”

“Forgive us, Mr Stone. The doctor looked young and innocent. There is no way we could be suspicious,” the taller guard said.

“Besides, she came with her medical equipment. How could we not trust her?” the second guard said.

“Shut that your useless mouth, aren’t you shameless? What stopped one of you from being inside that room with her?” Evanston was boiling with rage.

“We were told not to bother Ms Celina. So we thought

    Abel woke up late in the morning and strode to his study. He saw the majestic treasure chest on top of the table where he dropped it last night. He stared at the box for a while and opened it. He recalled being asked what he wanted to be written inside the chest by the royal designer. The first name that came into his mind was Nicole, however he didn’t come all the way to England to get a gift for his low life wife, but for Riana, still he couldn’t bring himself to inscribe Riana’s name in the golden chest so he wrote his name instead.Thinking of it now, Abel realized why he was skeptical about it. He ran his hands over the Treasure Chest and opened his drawer. Inside the drawer was the wedding gift Avery bought the day after their wedding. He took the rings and stared at his name beautifully engraved on the smaller one, which was meant for Avery and her name on the bigger ring that was meant for him.“I will not only wear your name on my finger, Avery, but will always wear it in m

Wyatt was known for his incredible personality, which makes him stand out besides his powerful design skills.“It’s no stress at all, besides I need to meet you personally for this”“Please sit”Both men settled down and Abel dropped the treasure chest on the table.“Isn’t this the beauty you brought from England?” Wyatt asked, feeling the box with his hands.“I bought it at the AE auction house the previous day and I want you to make it look different”“What does Abel mean by he bought it at the AE auction house the previous day?” Jason thought. He was not aware of what happened at the auction house because he had an emergency and couldn’t attend.Wyatt already heard the news, but could only pretend.

    “I’m still married to Nicole, Riana, but don’t worry, as soon as we settle down together, you will have me all for yourself,” Abel had said and refused to make love to Riana despite how hard she tried. When Abel became adamant, Riana sought for abortion, but the doctor warned her against it.“You have aborted several times, and doing another one will risk your life. I suggest you have the baby. He may be the only child you would have in this life”Riana found herself at a crossroads. She went back home and explained everything to Elizabeth. But Elizabeth wouldn’t hear of such. She got furious and yelled out in anger.“You can’t have the baby in this house. It will ruin everything. What about Abel? Do you want to provoke him with this kind of news? You must abort this baby period,” Elizabeth said.Elizabeth was annoyed. How could Riana ruin everything for their family because of her foolishness?“Mother, I can’t do that. My life will be in great danger if I try aborting the baby. Plea

    “Oh my poor child, I know you will come back. Peter, don’t make Riana angry, no matter what. She is still our baby. Come here dear, let me find you something to eat,” Elizabeth said.She put her hands lightly on Riana’s shoulder, but Riana shoved her away.Riana was so tightly wrapped in her misery and dark thoughts that she was blind to everything else, especially the two people who were once her parents.“Ahh Riana, you have not changed at all. Why are you so hot-tempered? See what you did to your mother,” Peter said and helped Elizabeth, who was about to fall.Riana ignored him and put the item in her hand on the table, then uncovered it. As soon as Elizabeth saw the box, she panicked. She never knew that Riana would discover her treacherous act so soon. How did she discover that what she kept in the safe was fake?“What is the meaning of this, Elizabeth?” Riana asked, her face cold and deadly. Chills ran down Elizabeth’s spine as he watched the box on the table.“I..mm. It.. you

    At 10: 50 pm, the next day, Riana stood on the front porch of Mr Douglas’ home.Mr Douglas was living alone in his luxurious house. It was rumored that his wife and kids abandoned him and went to the UK.According to the rumor, Mr Douglas has been living alone for the past twelve years. He buried himself with work just to forget his sorrows. After his wife left him, Douglas avoided women and never considered them. His small and ugly nature contributed as well.However, his encounter with Riana that night at Blue Diamond rekindles his desire for women. He can’t stop thinking about Riana after that night. So he had to blackmail her into coming over to his house. He knew Riana would not come if he invited her over without using a force.Riana pressed the bell and waited.

    “I was at the business meeting and I wanted to collaborate with Mr Copper. When Mr. Copper went up to his room, I followed him. Unfortunately, he was drunk and couldn’t keep a comprehensive conversation, so I left him alone, but when I came to the hallway, I saw Ms. Clinton banging into his room. I was curious and wanted to know what was going on between them. So I went closer to the room. I saw Abel and Avery making out. When I heard she was pregnant, I followed her up and discovered she was pregnant for Abel." Douglas said.Riana was shaking. She was in a terrible mess. Avery was carrying Abel’s child, and she didn’t know about this until now. And the CCTV, how did she not find anything during that time.? Could it be that Abel deleted the video and pretended like she was the one who slept with him? And she played along and acted like a fool.Now she understood why she couldn’t find anything through the CCTV and Abel insisted he slept with her, so it was Avery all along. She inten

    Douglas was thrilled. This younger generation must be crazy. They always find something new against the old pattern of life. Unlike his wife, who rarely mentioned or took the lead in sexual matters, Riana not only derives pleasure from sex, but she also expresses a desire to be the one in charge. Well, he would be thrilled to witness how this operates, and therefore, he responded.“You have me to yourself Riana, do with me as you please” Riana smiled.She took Douglas’ hands and tied him up with her rope. Once she had secured the end, she used another cloth and tied up Douglas’ mouth before removing the one in his eye.Douglas was stunned to see Riana all dressed up and with manic laughter on her face.“You want to blackmail me into sleeping with you? How foolish of you to think so. Do you think I would agree to that after what you made me suffer? Because of you, my fiance broke up with me and my family rejected me. Right now, my son’s life is in great danger. It’s all because of y

    "Please don't be irrational, Axel. Please sit down. Let's talk about this,” Abel pleaded.“Sign the document first,” Axel said, pointing to the table where a copy of the document lay.“Sign it, or I will blow her off.”Abel hesitated but finally took the pen on the table and signed his name on the document.“The document is signed. Hand my girl over,” Abel demanded.Axel shoved Aerial toward her parents and grabbed the document. His gun still pointed at them, he quickly scanned the paper, confirming Abel’s signature. A sinister smile spread across his face. He could hardly believe it—he finally owned the Coppers Group.Facing them again, Axel picked up a small canister from his side and began pouring out its contents. Then, he pulled a lighter from his pocket.“What do you plan to do?” Avery asked, her voice trembling.“Isn't it obvious?” Axel smirked. “I'm going to burn this place down. No one will ever find out what happened.”“Why would you do that? I’ve signed the document!” Abel

    Avery went into her room and brought back the laptop.After Abel logged in, he noticed an email among a pool of other messages. It was a contract agreement concerning the shares of his company.“Sign the contract, and you will see your daughter,” the message read.“What’s in the document? Open it, let’s see,” Currie said, noticing her brother’s troubled expression. Abel opened the document and stared at the contents in shock.Avery pulled the laptop toward herself and read the agreement on the screen.“He wants seventy-five percent of your company’s shares?” she exclaimed.“I will do anything to bring Aerial back. That’s my promise,” Abel said firmly. Only Douglas could stoop to such devious means. He was the only one who knew Abel had children with Avery. Was this his revenge for destroying his incriminating videos and letting Jason deal with him?“You can’t do that!” Currie protested. “Let’s involve the police. There’s no way you should give up your company. You worked too hard to g

    "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that he was your son at the time. After he came to my office a few days ago demanding to see me and calling me his Daddy, I had no choice but to investigate the truth," Abel explained."You went to his office? When was that? How did you even know about him?" Avery asked, her face filled with shock. Turning to Abel, she added, "Were you influencing my kids and turning them against me?""You’ve misunderstood," Abel replied calmly. "I didn’t get to see him that day. He was gone before I could come out of my office. A few days later, I ran into him at his school and tried to learn more about his family, but the boy was so smart—he refused to give me any information. That made me think of the strange woman I had been with at the business meeting years ago. Determined to uncover the truth, I discreetly took a sample of his hair for a DNA test."It was only later, when I saw you pick him up, that I realized you are his mother," he continued, stepping closer to Aver

    “I can't leave, I need to look around. She might be somewhere nearby, afraid and waiting for me to come,” Avery said, her voice trembling with tears.“It’s already night, and there’s nothing more we can do right now. Let’s trust the authorities to handle this. Come on, let’s get out of here,” Abel said gently.Just then, Abel’s phone rang. He stepped aside to answer it, returning moments later with a small smile. Without a word, he led Avery back home.---At home, Avery’s son, Aaron, approached hesitantly.“Daddy, will you find Aerial?” Aaron asked softly.“Stop calling him that! He’s not your daddy!” Avery snapped, her voice sharper than she intended.Abel’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I’m sorry, Avery, but don’t you think you’re being too harsh on the boy?” He pulled Aaron into his arms and said, “I promise you with my life, I’ll find Aerial.”“Will you stay with us tonight?” Aaron asked, his small voice filled with hope.“Of course, yes,” Abel replied.“No, you won’t!” Avery

    Meanwhile, Currie knelt before Avery, her body shaking as she wept bitterly. The shock of the events had hollowed her out, leaving her an empty shell.“Forgive me, sister Nuu,” Currie sobbed. “I never meant for this to happen. It’s my fault. I should never have brought them here.”“What happened to my daughter, Currie? You’re scaring me!” Avery cried, her voice rising in desperation.Through her tears, Currie tried to explain. “She was playing with the other kids a few feet away while Aaron and I were working on a puzzle. Then suddenly, smoke filled the air. Everything turned chaotic."I grabbed Aaron and ran to look for Aerial, but I couldn’t see anything. The smoke was so thick and black. I pushed forward, calling her name, but the fire broke out before I could reach her."I held onto Aaron tightly, afraid he’d get hurt if I let go. But I was determined to get to Aerial. The crowd shoved me back, everyone panicking and running in different directions."When the fire intensified, I t

    Chapter 158“I hope they are mine,” Abel thought to himself. The possibility lifted his mood. For so many years, he had wished to have children of his own, and after what happened between him and Riana, Abel vowed never to marry anyone except Avery—the woman who loved him unconditionally.His mind drifted back to the children. Having a son like Aaron would mean so much to him. And the girl? He smiled.He hadn’t spent much time with the little girl, but her cheerful allure drew him in. She looked so beautiful and adorable, so much like Avery, with leaf-brown hair that resembled his own.Thinking of this, Abel felt a little bubble of hope swelling within him. He prayed earnestly that they would be his.“Are they mine, Avery? Please tell me. I really want to know,” he asked, his eyes searching hers for an answer. Before Avery could utter a word, his phone rang.Abel ignored it, but when the ringing persisted, he quickly switched it off and turned his attention back to Avery. At that same

    Chapter 157“Who is the boy’s father, and how did you know the little boy?” Abel asked.“Take a look at this,” Douglas said, shoving his phone into Abel’s hands.Abel stared at the video playing before his eyes, his heart pounding. His legs wobbled, and his hands became clammy.Before the video could end, Abel clenched the phone tightly and strode toward the exit.“Wait! What about the collaboration? And where are you going with my phone?” Douglas shouted, but Abel was already gone.Outside the VIP room, Abel turned to Jason, who was waiting in the corridor.“Keep that old fool in check and make sure he deletes all the videos,” Abel ordered.“Which video?” Jason asked in confusion.“The old fool has a video of Avery and me... making out.”Jason knitted his brows together, his expression shocked.“Don’t spare him. Crush him into pieces and ensure every copy of the video is erased.”“You can count on me,”---At the hospital, Avery had just stepped out of the operating theater and was h

    Twenty minutes later, Abel arrived at the Greenville Hotel. As he walked into the restaurant, he spotted Mr. Douglas seated at the far end of the room, near the window. Without hesitation, Abel strode toward the older man and grabbed him by the neck."Mr. Copper, what are you doing?" Douglas gasped, his voice trembling.Abel ignored him and dragged him toward the VIP room upstairs. As soon as they entered, Abel shoved Douglas onto the couch."What was that nonsense you sent me earlier?" Abel demanded.Douglas was speechless. The last time he had tried his luck with Abel, things hadn't ended well. Now, he had another opportunity to make a deal, but he knew he had to resort to devious means to achieve his goal.After Abel caught him with Riana, Douglas had been certain approaching Abel again would be a death sentence. However, when his contact called a few months ago and informed him about Avery's return to Mallory Avenue, Douglas began plotting how to use her to get close to Abel. Then

    Currie's heart skipped a beat. How could these children think she was hiding something from them? Last night, when she had asked Avery about the kids’ father, Avery had been hesitant to answer.And now, Aaron and Aerial thought she knew who their father was. Currie thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and said softly,"Do you want my brother to be your daddy?"Her eyes stayed fixed on the kids, searching their expressions.Aerial's eyes lit up, excitement shining in her face."Of course, I want him to be our daddy!" Aerial exclaimed. "He would protect us, right?"Aaron, calmer than his sister, nodded and asked, "Will you help us?"Sometimes, Aerial wondered how her brother managed to stay so composed no matter what.Currie hesitated briefly before offering a compromise."Why don't we go to the park first? We'll talk about this later.""Are you going to buy us ice cream?" Aerial asked eagerly."Of course, I will.""But Mom says it's not good to eat too much sugar.""I haven’t had an
