“Madam,” Aunt Nora, an elder woman in her early fifties, called Cora while staring at Cora Vandenberg with hesitation.Aunt Nora was the head maid in the Vandenberg family mansion who had accompanied Cora from her maiden’s home and also helped to raise Maverick when he was young.Due to this reason, Aunt Nora had always been treated like a family member.Cora smiled ruefully. She had always believed in her capabilities to gauge people, but she hadn’t expected that she would lose this time. “I know. That girl has been pretending.” She declared this, her eyes falling into the distance.No matter how naive Cora was, Cora was also from a socialite family, and she had been a socialite all her life, so how could she not understand what was happening?Tatiana had claimed to be sincere and honest, but in just a few days, she had already been involved in so much trouble.There was no way that she was that innocent.If Tatiana was really innocent, then how come all this trouble was related to h
‘Just In: After having a fight with Farrell, Tatiana was kidnapped, and Maverick had to sacrifice a land document worth almost 500 million to rescue Tatiana. As soon as this news made its way online, social media was in an uproar. In the past, we said Valencia was the one who was unfit for Maverick, but realizing it now, we were the ones who were wrong! This Tatiana seemed to have bad luck surrounding her. She caused two childhood friends to fall out. Now, she had also been kidnapped and made Maverick lose almost 500 million. Right now, I realized that I missed Valencia a lot. I wished she hadn't grown up and was still the one serving us funny jokes instead of all this depressing information relating to Tatiana. This Tatiana was really not sweet at all.’ Contrary to the battling going on online, as soon as the robbers let go of Tatiana, they disappeared into thin air. Tatiana ran out of where she had been tied and ran to Maverick. Immediately, Tatiana jumped into Maverick’s embr
“The Vandenberg family invited the family to the Blauch Vandenberg party and specially invited Valencia?” Raven Castillo suddenly read aloud from the envelope in her hand upon seeing Valencia and Aviva step into the mansion, her voice filled with bewilderment at the news she had just read. Fleet wrapped his hands around Raven while going through the documents in his other hand, as if to let Raven know that he was focusing on her regardless of going through a document or not. Fleet chimed into the conversation by responding in a tentative voice, “What is that old man thinking?” Upon hearing Raven's announcement, Valencia unconsciously paused in her tracks, not believing her ears. Did the Vandenberg family just specially invite their son’s ex and someone who was termed a humiliation throughout Valencia's relationship with Maverick? Moreover, aren’t the Cirillo and Vandenberg families enemies? Why would the Vandenberg family choose to let their enemies attend their celebration? Weren
“Safety check.” The director took a step back and swept a glance at the prop assistant as if to check if everything was in place. “Everything is in place, Director.” The props assistant immediately took a step back and responded, leaving Tatiana and Ayla at their initial positions. “Two minutes. Actors, get into position,” the director finalized and immediately made his way toward the camera. The crew immediately moved into their rightful positions. The scene that would be shot at the mountain was one of the female lead returning to the village where she was raised after being shunned by her parents and the world due to a scheme from her stepsister. The female lead had run to the village to take a breather and consider things again. However, what the female lead did not expect was that her ex-friend (Tatiana’s character), under the Fl sister's advice, was already trailing FL—intent on silently finishing her off in the village. The scene goes: The FL, who was running the mountai
"Mmmm. Maverick, slow down, okay? Ah. Maverick. Tomorrow is the wedding; you can't do much, or else I can't walk properly tomorrow." Valencia cried out alluringly as Maverick thrust into her repeatedly—his actions fierce and intense with every thrust he made. Valencia's lips parted in an enticing gasp; her smooth and beautiful slender long legs wrapped tightly around Maverick's waist perfectly, and her hand hooked around Maverick's neck. A bead of sweat was on her naked skin, and the hickeys made by Maverick made a beautiful contrast on her pale collarbone, neck, and chest. "En." Maverick simply replied in a husky and deep voice that made Valencia's face flush seductively. The cute woman's seductive expression was enough to make Maverick's desire for Valencia increase. Maverick's eyes darkened; it felt as if he couldn't have enough of this woman; even though they had been doing it for over an hour, he still felt thirsty! Maverick grabbed the moaning Valencia's chin and
Reading the contract made Valencia feel as if she had been ruthlessly pulled out of an illusion. It felt like she had been living a dream—a joke! Valencia had loved this man for years with all her heart, giving no other person such a chance. Ever since she set her eyes on Maverick that day, Valencia has followed every news story and dedicated her all to him. For him, she had chosen to give up her dream career to be an actress and singer. As Maverick's wife, Valencia couldn't afford to have any affiliation with a scandal. That's a huge stain and a disgrace to Maverick and his family! When Valencia and Maverick officially met four years ago, she had done her best to seek his attention in all ways; foolish methods weren't left out, that everyone in the country knew that she was foolishly in love with him, adding more stain to her reputation. And when Maverick finally asked her to be his girlfriend three years ago, she felt like the most happy woman in the world. For him, sh
The music played by the orchestra pervaded the expensive and beautiful white hall. Different flowers were neatly arranged in all corners of the hall, but that doesn't give it a mediocre look; rather, the flowers stand out and make one's eyes linger on them, their scent softly teasing one's nose. The red carpet in the middle of the hall created nice highlights. The most prominent people sat down on the expensive hall chairs. Even though their faces looked calm, there was a trace of impatience and confusion written in their eyes. Maverick glanced at the time with a frown on his face. It had been over 25 minutes since Valencia should've arrived in the hall, but no one had caught a trace of her yet. The delay made murmurs fill the hall. 'What do you think is happening? Why isn't the bride in yet?' 'I don't know. What do you think? 'It seems the rumors about President Maverick's family not accepting the bride are true. Look, none of the Vandenberg family are present.' 'Mayb
"Our enemies. I think it's the Cirillo group." Cliff stuttered and shivered slightly due to Maverick's cold aura, which seemed to want to suffocate him. "Cirillo." A hint of amusement flickered past Maverick's eyes, and he let out a guttural chuckle. Cliff shivered, understanding that this was the calmness before the storm; Maverick's furious mode had been triggered. He quickly lit a candle in advance for Valencia, knowing that once Maverick had her in grasp, she would wish for death rather than living. "Very good. Valencia. Good." Maverick proclaimed with a clenched jaw. Soon, Maverick's expression changed, and a wicked sneer surfaced on his face. So what if she escapes? He had the influence to make Valencia live like a rat if she wanted to avoid him. "Announce that Maverick's wife, Valencia, has disappeared, and anyone who can find her will get rewarded with $15 million. Also, cancel the wedding and tell the PR to report a good reason." Maverick ordered coldly and began

A boy held out his hand. A hand wrapped around the boy’s waist.Seeming to hear a joke, the boy smiled brightly.Soon, the scenery changed.The boy smiled radiantly and spoke over the phone. “Yes, I’ll be there soon…”“Boss, Young Miss Tatiana is here. Should I let her in?”The sudden announcement from a secretary snapped Amell from his thoughts.Tatiana? Why was she here?Amell’s brows arched, not realizing that his unusual happiness for Tatiana had already dissipated.He leaned back against the sofa and casually responded, “Let her in.”Immediately, Amell’s thoughts began to spin again, leading him back to his reverie.“Big Brother Amell,” the tiny voice of Tatiana suddenly invaded his ears, snapping him out of his thoughts.He raised his head to stare at her, his expression a bit withdrawn and absentminded.Suddenly, a wave of disgust overwhelmed him, making him want to barf.Those memories… Amell didn’t think that the person he had made those memories with could be Tatiana. She fe
PING. PING. PING.The sudden, endless buzzing of Valencia, Aneira, and Aviva's phones broke the cheerful and sweet ambiance in the private room of a Michelin-starred restaurant.Although the three had wanted to ignore the phone's endless buzzing at first, realizing that this was such an unusual occurrence made them rethink.Moreover, for the three to be receiving alerts at the same time, could it be that something serious had happened?Immediately, they all exchanged glances, looked down at their phones, and unlocked them.At that moment, they realized they had been tagged by netizens concerning the current news circulating on social media.“Heh. Your husband and Maverick fought?” Valencia's eyes widened in bewilderment.Although Maverick's and Farrell’s families weren't close, everyone in the country knew the friendship between the two was tight, and they were just like brothers.Aneira’s brows furrowed in concern, but in the next second, she directed a playful glare at Valencia and
As soon as Valencia alighted from the car, it immediately drove off, as if the owner had been waiting for her to get out for a long time. Valencia snorted, her eyes cold, and her face contorted with disdain. She turned toward the studio and began making her way inside. What did she expect? That bastard only knew how to use and discard people. Tatiana would really do a great job as the Vandeberg family’s young madam. The driver had purposely taken a longer route, even driving past the same path four or five times before finally heading toward the set. Throughout that time, Maverick’s head had rested on her shoulder—sleeping. He had held her hand tightly and wrapped an arm around her waist, just like lovers would. It was as if he never wanted to let her go. Yet, when the car finally stopped… That bastard didn’t even thank her, nor did he spare her a glance, and… “Did you just get down from Maverick's car?” Aviva eyed Valencia suspiciously, hands on her waist, her reaction making i
Upon hearing this, the gazes that fell on Valencia became unsightly, and everyone couldn't help remembering the incident of the previous day.That's right! Even a fool would notice that Valencia had been annoyed at Tatiana for kicking Lessie out. Definitely, Valencia had done it on purpose to make everyone misjudge Tatiana.However, no one had expected that Valencia would choose to retaliate like this. Very despicable.Valencia's expression turned cold, and she folded her arms.Although she had already expected Tatiana to act, she didn't expect that she'd do so blatantly. But what did she expect? Tatiana, that bitch, was fond of doing it. Doing the same cringe cries over and over. Isn't she tired and disgusted?Valencia's eyes turned fierce, and a cold smile appeared on her face. “Miss Tatiana, you claimed that you had been purposely schemed against by me. I submitted others' scripts, and no one claimed to have issues. For only Miss Tatiana to have this complaint, it's clear that some
Tatiana put on a skimpy, silky white night slip that reached her upper thigh and revealed a hint of her butt. She ran down the stairs, giggling like an innocent and pure little girl, and called sweetly, “Maverick. Maverick…” Tatiana paused in her tracks, and the happiness on her face disappeared upon seeing no sign of Maverick in the living room. The living room was so empty it seemed as if no one had been there the night before. Aurora’s eyes flashed with disdain, and she inwardly snorted. Didn’t Tatiana find her feigned innocence very disgusting? Although Tatiana kept smiling and giggling like an innocent girl, she had purposely put on a sexy outfit. It was obvious that nothing about Tatiana revealed innocence; rather, she was all about seduction. Still, she tried to cover it up with feigned cluelessness. Despite the thoughts coursing through Aurora's mind, none of them were revealed on her face. Instead, a patient smile hung on her lips as she reported in a calm and steady to
