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
In a VVIP private room of one of the top and most expensive bars in Lex Country, there were four men. There were different, expensive, and century-old alcoholic drinks on the table. Three of them each had a half-naked woman wrapped tightly around their arms, seductively. On the stage in the private room, a beautiful woman with a seductive gown that flaunts her smooth lap dances to a melodious tune. At the center of the room sat a handsome and impeccable man in a black suit, sitting majestically. His eyes were closed, and his finger gently held a lit cigarette. The cigarette smoke gave him an ethereal and illusionary, heart-racing image that made the ladies blush. Cliff pushed past the door and entered the room. "Young masters." Cliff greeted the three men with a slight bow, and they nodded in reply before Cliff walked to Maverick. "Boss." Cliff greeted and whispered some words next to Maverick's ears. Hearing Cliff's report made Maverick open his deep black eyes with a c
"Mama, you're on the TV next to a handsome uncle and a pretty sister who's not as beautiful as momma. Mom looks so beautiful." Iris suddenly announced with a giggle. Her blue eyes were fixated on the TV as she played with a strand of her wavy chestnut brown hair that fell to her waist while swinging her legs playfully. Hearing Iris's sentence made Valencia freeze. She stopped typing and shut her laptop before speeding out of her room in her cute print cat pajamas. Valencia quickly sped down the stairs without catching her breath. She placed her two hands on her thin waist as soon as she arrived in the living room. She feigned a cold and lecturing expression and stance as she chided the extremely cute quadruplets whose attention was now placed on Valencia. "I told you not to watch the news anymore; watch cartoons and children's shows instead." Valencia chided in exasperation. She only knew about children wanting to watch cartoons and children's shows, but her children were th
