“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
Maverick simply turned away from Valencia without saying a word or paying her a glance; by the time he'd returned, he was already dressed in a tailor-made black suit—his tall figure screaming overbearing and authoritative. From the beginning to the end, Maverick didn't pay Valencia any attention and turned to leave the room. Seeing Maverick's nonchalant action, Valencia's head rang in alarm. She began to struggle fiercely, but she had been firmly tied by Maverick and couldn't escape no matter how she tried to break free. Valencia glared at Maverick's retreating frame in indignation. Where was he going without letting her out? “You Vandenberg scum, what are you doing? Where are you going? When will you let me out?” Valencia was filled with horror. It can't be that Maverick simply plans to imprison her here like a mistress for the rest of her life, can he? He didn't even care about the mention of Corbyn as her husband. Slam! Before Valencia could complete her words, Maver
Maverick's jaw clenched coldly, and his fingers stopped their furious typing on his keyboard to hover on it. His heart suddenly felt as if it were suffocating, causing him to tug and pull the tie loose a bit. Repeatedly recalling the woman's infuriating words and her smooth, soft call for Corbyn almost drove him crazy due to infuriation. If Maverick didn't pull himself to leave, he knew he would end up fucking that infuriating woman to death right there and then! Valencia. Back then, that woman had always put him first—Maverick this, Maverick that—with her doe eyes shining brightly in intense adoration. But now she doesn't even want to see his face! It can't be that Valencia simply tossed all the care and adoration she had for him to that Corbyn madman, can it? Maverick gnashed his teeth in anger, and his hand unconsciously pressed down on a key. “Very good, Valencia…” Ring The sudden ringing of Maverick's phone snapped him out of his thoughts. Maverick elegan
Low-key luxury items decorated the large living room. The beautiful designs were very matching and eye-catching, except that currently, the stiff ambiance in the living room will make one unable to enjoy the eye-catching sight. The furious typing on Corbyn’s keyboard continuously broke the stifling ambiance. Since last night, Valencia has disappeared after she went to meet Mr. Hunt at the Exquisite Club, and every clue that can be used to trace whoever kidnapped Valencia has been cleared, causing the members of the Cirillo family to be worried. Aviva bit her quivering lower lip and clenched her fist. Last night, Aviva planned to go with Valencia to the club, but Valencia vehemently refused. Because Aviva had just arrived home after the multiple hours spent on the plane, Valencia insisted Aviva should stay back and rest while promising to be back within one or two hours, but who knew it's been over 12 hours and they hadn’t found Valencia’s location? It’s as if Valencia had d
In a VVIP hospital room. The rays of the sunshine into the white room. A serene ambiance drifted in the quiet room, except that the continuous typing on the keyboard broke the calmness in the hospital. Tatiana’s eyes were transfixed on the man who was typing on his laptop swiftly, and her heart was exceptionally racing at the sight of the peerless Adonis sitting opposite her. Maverick was quietly reviewing a contract on his laptop; occasionally, his brows would arch as if he had found something amusing in the contract. Whenever Maverick does that, Tatiana’s heartbeat will spiral out of control. Although Maverick was only going through a contract, all his actions were very noble and elegant, and it made everything pale in sight. Tatiana finally realized how the sentence about a working man being a handsome man is completely true! Tatiana bit her lower lip and lowered her head; an indecipherable glint flickered past her eyes. Her fist clenched slightly in excitement. This
Aida lowered her head, compassion flickering past her cold eyes. Only she understood how much Miss Tatiana had longed for Young Master Maverick throughout the years. How much Miss Tatiana had counted the days to return and how much Miss Tatiana was happy the minute she boarded the plane to Lex. Even though Miss Tatiana had stayed, or more to say, lived, in the hospital for the majority of her life, Aida could see that whenever Miss Tatiana was on the brink of giving up treatment, the thought of young Master Maverick was enough to give her strength! For the first time in her life, Aida felt powerless. Aida wished she could make the innocent and pure Miss Tatiana happy forever. Unfortunately… Aida trudged downheartedly towards the ward and stared at Tatiana's bright eyes, which were lit up as if to receive good news, and a sense of compassion overwhelmed her heart immediately. “Miss Tatiana…” Tatiana clenched her fists, placed next to her side, to restrain her agitated and cha
(A/N: The author doesn't acknowledge bullying or non-consensual sex. This is purely fiction.) Valencia's chest heaved and fell, and her body shook. She had the inkling that she'd regret it very much when she woke up tied by a red rope and failed to see the certain psychopath that tied her down early that morning. Upon seeing Maverick step out of the bathroom with a towel clad around her waist, her inkling was confirmed! And she really regretted it! Valencia sighed and turned to the left side of the bed. She had planned to shock the world and make the Carter, Maverick, and Vandenberg families fall on their knees in awe of her return, but... Look, who woke up completely shocked upon realizing that she had been tied to Maverick's bed? Look at her situation! Only if she hadn't run after him. Only if she hadn't been so naive as to believe that crazy man's image on television. Sigh! Only if! Valencia bit her lower lip in regret. She had never regretted making a decision as muc
In the low-key, luxurious room, Maverick's brows furrowed slightly, and his black eyes narrowed solemnly. He stared down at the woman whose eyes were scrunched up and whose lips pouted adorably, and he extended his hand to smoothen the crease in between her brows. As if he had just recollected himself, Maverick suddenly paused, and his gaze fell on Valencia's palm-sized, beautiful face. What was he doing? He planned to marry Tatiana; what was he doing with this woman? Somehow, even though Maverick wanted to marry Tatiana, he never wanted to let this silly woman go to any other man, especially Corbyn Cirillo. The thought of Valencia under another man having that beautiful expression she used to make under him made his heart abuzz with mixed feelings. The thought of how the two had gone further up to the level of Corbyn and Valencia having quadruplets immediately flashed in his head. Maverick's calm expression turned cold immediately. As if feeling the man's cold aura and
Aurora carefully opened the car and helped Tatiana into the car. She shut it and walked toward the co-driver seat.“Tatiana is very sly. I don’t believe that you and your boss are ignorant of this fact.” A whisper from Bailey stopped Aurora in her tracks.Aurora smiled and bowed slightly to Bailey as if she hadn’t heard what Bailey had just heard. “Good night, Miss Bailey.” Immediately, she got into the car and drove away.Bailey’s eyes flashed with a complex glint, and she stomped her feet.Had Bailey known that forfeiting that chance would give Tatiana the chance to ride over them, she’d have hurriedly taken over it. But now it’s too late to cry over spilled milk. Even the Farrell she loved all these years fell in love with someone else.Tears shimmered in Bailey’s eyes, and her figure became lonely upon recalling how Farrell had heroically carried Aneira and strode out of the hall.“Young Miss, it’s cold.” Bailey’s bodyguard stepped forward and reminded. Immediately, he wrapped a
Aneira was about to fall asleep when she received the news after another round of fierce tossing. She didn’t hesitate to leave the bed and ordered Farrell to bring her to the studio. What would she do if something bad happened to Valencia?Valencia’s heart turned warm. Even though she had just gone through a minor event, she had a family who stuck by her and cared for her. “I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I won’t do that next time.” Valencia sincerely apologized.Corbyn stepped into the studio, and he immediately wrapped his hands around Valencia, his voice laced with concern. “Are you fine?” Just the thought that he had almost lost her scared him. He never wanted her to go through such danger again!At this point, Valencia realizes that she was wrong and at fault. She has people who will become anxious and concerned whenever they hear that something bad happened to her. She should have thought about them before taking any rash steps. “Big brother Corbyn, I’m so sorry. I was so rash…
All Doctor Earl’s life, he had always believed that he and Valencia were from the same world and they could only end together. Who knew that the bitch would not notice him and instead shamelessly throw herself at Maverick?Doctor Earl is the only one who can love and protect Valencia all her life. No other person can.Even when he treated her hand, she only appreciated him and moved on. How can he bear that?Doctor Earl’s eyes suddenly shone with a maniacal glint, and he grabbed Valencia by the chin. “Do you know…”He suddenly paused, and his mind surged with different thoughts, making his facial expression complicated. When he heard that Valencia would marry Maverick, he was filled with fury and decided that he would never see it happen. Doctor Earl had planned to hit and run the wedding car with a non-licensed truck whenever the two were heading toward their matrimonial home; who knew that Valencia would suddenly leave the country, canceling the wedding?Doctor Earl had searched f
“Miss Valencia, you’re here.” As soon as Valencia stepped into the filming location, the crew members began to greet her politely while smiling at her. It was as if they were never involved in all that happened the day before.Seeing this total change of attitude, Valencia’s lips curved up in a sneer.Yesterday, they had all crowded her and called her shameless to her face, but after seeing the news, they were quick to switch and act friendly. Very two-faced and disgusting. Ayla straightened her back and smiled beautifully before catwalking toward Valencia while holding a bottle of water in her hand. “Miss Valencia, congratulations. I heard you have gotten the news solved. I’m so happy for you.” Ayla elegantly uttered with a bow, her voice and expression filled with so much joy that if one didn’t know better, one would think that she and Valencia were friends.Upon hearing this, Valencia nodded indifferently and uttered, “Thank you.” Immediately she turned to leave.Valencia inward
“Big brother Corbyn, why will Roman take the blame?” Valencia tilted her neck in curiosity and inquired while Corbyn pushed her swing. But wait… that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is how Aida was able to set her hands on Roman's phone. Except for his acting career, Roman's life has always been secretive, and he's always with his phone. Even when he's performing in a set. And if there's a rare moment, Roman’s phone will be handed to his assistant. However, it was that Roman who suddenly left his phone unlocked in the lobby when Aida wanted to steal a photo! That's not simple. Not at all. Thinking like this, how wouldn’t Valencia understand that Roman must have known that Aida was interested in his phone and purposely left it for her to use? Valencia’s face contorted in a frown. That means Roman isn't a good person either. Without hesitation, Valencia picked up her phone and dialed Roman’s number. Roman picked up the call on the first dial
Due to this, Amell had no choice but to enter the private room. His eyes awkwardly darted around the room, and his whole person was a bit nervous. “Hey.” He threw and sat at the far end from Amell.Contrary to Amell’s nervousness, Burke appeared very calm. He was so calm it was as if he wasn’t the one who kissed Amell in a fit of rage. He calmly responded without lifting his head, “Hm.”Upon hearing Burke’s response, Amell’s tense nerves slightly turned calm. His eyes narrowed due to conflicting emotions.Could it be that this bastard was in a good mood, or is it that this bastard just never cared since the beginning…Amell’s eyes that suddenly landed on Burke’s lips snapped him out of his thought. Thin lips crashed with…Amell’s eyes instantly widened in horror, and he quickly rubbed his eyes like crazy while shaking his head.It was as if doing so would prevent the image from displaying in his mind.Unfortunately, several images of lips kissing began to run through his mind, making
You bitch!" A fierce slap resounded in the room, and Tatiana's face whipped to the side immediately, her cheeks filled with five print marks.A surge of hatred immediately overwhelmed Tatiana’s eyes, and her body trembled due to rage."It's enough that a slut daughter dared to cause chaos in my home; how dare you try to ruin the family's reputation? Do you think everyone is as naive as you to believe that a lowly guard, especially the guard of Maverick Vandenberg, would take action without orders? How dare you?" Mrs. Austergaard chided coldly, her elegant face now filled with fury. Mrs. Austeegard pointed at Tatiana and continued to chide, "You are just like your mother; you only know how to run after men without a plan for your future. Ever since you returned to the country, you have never acted like a responsible daughter of the Austegaard. Rather, you shamelessly throw yourself at men all day long. You are very shameless." She seethed. The more Mrs. Austergaard thought of all thi
The waitress immediately crawled to Valencia and began to hit her head against the floor, tears streaming profusely down her face. She bawled pitifully, “Miss Valencia, please forgive me. I just wanted to save my poor mother. My poor mother was sick, and I just needed the money. Please let me go…” Before the waitress could complete her words, the female guard grabbed her by the hair and threw her far away from Valencia. The waitress was clearly pleading with such words in order to get Valencia to soften, forgive her, and not get to the root of the matter. Unfortunately, she messed with the wrong person. “Who sent you?” The guard cruelly pulled the waitress by the hair and questioned her harshly. The waitress's lips parted and her eyes darted about, her body trembling. She cried out, “I. I didn’t see the person’s face. The person covered their eyes. Please, let me go.” She bawled pitifully. The bodyguard sneered, not falling for the waitress’s lies. Before she could speak, CCTV fo
Tatiana’s expression changed to agitation. In fact, all Tatiana was doing was her own play to turn the tide over. She had no intention to kneel.Tatiana’s face turned pale. She really doesn’t want to kneel; once she kneels, her reputation will be stained, and she will be lowly to Valencia. How can she bear that? Her hand subconsciously gripped the side of her dress.Seeing this, how can Aviva not know what was going through Tatiana’s mind? She sneered and coldly said, “What? Are those all for shows? Didn’t you want to gain Valencia’s forgiveness…”“Enough!” Maverick coldly declared, interjecting Aviva’s words.Corbyn’s eyes turned cold, and he took a step forward, his lips pressed in a thin line. “Your Vandenberg family can’t go overboard in our Cirillo family’s presence.” His cold eyes fall on Tatiana, and he ruthlessly emits, “Apologise.”Tatiana’s eyes flashed with a depressing glint, and a sense of unwillingness overwhelmed her. She really doesn’t want to. Her anxious eyes fell on
