Aviva's lips parted slightly in shock. "You've seen it?" Aviva knew how much Valencia despised news channels, blogs, social media, newspapers, etc. because she was afraid that she could come across Maverick’s image. Hearing such words fall from Valencia made her amazed. Valencia didn't bother denying either. "Yes, Aviva. Now I need help. I need to return to Lex." Valencia implored truthfully. She knew that if she tried to return to Lex with her influence, Maverick would be able to trace her, and if he did, that'd be the end of her Not to talk about her cute quadruplets, which Valencia must do her all to hide. In the wedding contract, Maverick had written that Valencia mustn't get pregnant throughout the five years or else she'll need to abort it because Maverick won't give anything the chance to come in between Maverick and Tatiana's relationship. Beside, he even quotes that if she secretly ends up giving birth to a child behind his back, the child will be taken away from Va
"Maverick, you don't need to worry about me. Go to work; I'll be fine. I'm used to being alone." Tatiana bit her lower lips and muttered in a demure, soft voice, her face as pale as a sheet. There was an IV drip connected to her hand in the VVIP room of Imperial Top Hospital, one of the most famous and expensive hospitals in the country. Maverick's heart ached, and his hands fell on Tatiana's hair to caress it softly. The doctor had told them they were lucky that Tatiana was rushed to the hospital at that time or a second late, and her situation would've gotten worse. After the incident that year, Tatiana's health had gotten more frail, and she needed to stay at the hospital often, unlike normal people. Tatiana could count the places she had visited apart from the hospital all these years with one hand. "I'll stay." He replied in a hoarse, caring tone. A smile blossomed on Tatiana's face, but she quickly covered it up with a worried expression. She lowered her head shyly
Valencia shook her head. "I don't want to bother brother Corbyn…" Aviva shook her head like a rattling drum. What bother? Even if big brother Corbyn wants to feel bothered, Aviva will never give him the chance to. She quickly waved her hands. "Oh no. I'm sure he'd be willing to be bothered by you." Aviva quickly replied with a mischievous smirk plastered on her face. She took out her phone and began to dial Corbyn's number happily. Valencia gasped in shock, not expecting Aviva to quickly act. Aviva is just too silly and enthusiastic. Alas, she can't be so whenever it comes to Warrick. "Big brother, sister-in-law Valencia wants to speak with you," Aviva spoke with a meaningful voice and handed the phone to Valencia, but not before putting the phone on speaker. Valencia gave Aviva a death glare, but it only made Aviva chortle louder. "Big brother, Corbyn," Valencia called softly. Throughout the five years Valencia left Lex, Corbyn Cirillo had been one of the huge forces
Corbyn, in his late twenties, has a tall figure and a well-proportioned, lean body. His jet-black hair was well-combed, and a sharp and ruthless aura oozed out of him. Corbyn was in a white t-shirt and black pants, giving him a homely vibe. The T-shirt had a short sleeve, which revealed his bulging muscles. The long black pants accentuate his long legs. “Big brother, Corbyn.” Valencia softly called and bowed slightly to him. “Welcome back.” Corbyn simply replied. His voice was cold and deep, but one could hear the softness in his voice. His eyes were softened upon seeing the cute woman. “Thank you, big brother,” Valencia replied sweetly, her eyes crinkling. Aviva covered her lips in glee upon seeing the scene. A mischievous smile lit up on her face. Soon! Her ship will be together. They just look cute and perfect toge… Aviva suddenly froze upon feeling that familiar, intense gaze on her face. She lowered her head and refused to acknowledge the gaze of his presence. “Mrs.
Upon hearing Mr. Hunt's tone, Valencia's brows furrowed slightly, but in the next second, a calm smile overlapped her face, and she regained her composure. "I'm honored that Mr. Hunt thinks of my hands like that. Thank you." Valencia responded in a calm voice and quickly snatched back her hand. Seeing Valencia's cautious actions, Mr. Hunt realized that he had allowed his eagerness to reflect in his eyes. He helped himself calm down by pouring himself a drink and taking a sip of it. "I'm sorry if I made Miss Valerie uncomfortable. It's just that it's my first time coming across such a beautiful pair of hands, and I can't help being excited." Mr. Hunt apologized, his hands running through his lap. The more Mr. Hunt talked and acted like that, the more uncomfortable Valencia was. At this moment, she wanted nothing but to end the meeting with Mr. Hunt. "It's okay, Mr. Hunt, can we go straight to the topic?" Valencia switched the topic in a calm yet firm voice, which left no room
Valencia was never the one to make a stupid decision, but she had done so tonight. Corbyn had given her two of his well-trained guards so they could watch over her safety, but she had chosen to listen to rumors and ordered the bodyguard to stay back in the car. Luckily for Valencia, while she was almost at her wit's end, the door suddenly opened. Without hesitating, Valencia ignored her pain and discomfort and scurried out of the room. Although what Valencia thought she was doing was rushing, in fact, her pace was only a tad faster than walking. Valencia gripped the wall with a flustered, flushed face. Her breath came out in disarray due to discomfort. Mr. Hunt's eyes darkened in lust and anger. How dare that bitch spray his face and try to run away? Does she think she could escape from him tonight? Never! Mr. Hunt, as a regular of the HEX club, has the whole club in his palm. If he laid out his order, no one dared to make Valencia escape! Seeing that Valencia was abo
Sunlight rays reflected in the monotone, low-key luxury bedroom and landed on her smooth and impeccably gorgeous face, causing Valencia's brows to wrinkle in displeasure. 'It hurts. Her whole body hurts.' That was Valencia's first thought as soon as she regained consciousness and felt an agonizing pain that coursed through her body, from her hair down to her toes. Her whole body ached as if she had done a strenuous activity and it felt as if she had been torn into two. Her whole body felt so sore that she could hardly lift a finger. Valencia bit her lower lip to suppress the painful cry that almost spilled past her swollen and throbbing lips. Understanding the meaning behind what had happened, Valencia's eyes flew wide open, and her heart skipped a beat in fear. Recalling the memory of last night's battle, her face went pale with fear. And upon seeing the glaring hickeys on her skin, her soul flew off in petrification. Valencia had told that stranger to take her to Corb
“That. That's nonsense! Why will I throw myself at you? You're not Corbyn Cirillo." She bellowed, her face reddening in fury. She doesn't even know that he'll be in the club last night, or else she'll have fled immediately. That bastard had pretended to help her last night, but he had turned out to be the wolf, even though she mentioned the Cirillo family. How dare he accuse her wrongly? Maverick's lips drew into a line, and his black eyes turned cold. This silly woman had left the country through the Cirillo family’s influence, and she also mentioned Corbyn Cirillo last night. It can't be that she hooked up with that madman, can it? "From the Vandenberg to the Cirillo. Valencia Caesar, you're really daring; what won't you do?" He sneered. She had even gone out to meet Mr. Hunt late in the night. After hiding from him for six years, he didn't believe that the woman's pure motivation was just to see Mr. Hunt. She must have asked around and known about his visit! Valencia's
“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
“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
‘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
“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
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
