“I must say, your beauty is beyond compare,” Roberto whispers, sending chills down her spine. Bianca shivers, gazing around to avoid eye contact with him. He helps her to her feet, he couldn't take his eyes off her cleavages exposed through her drained black gown. He waggles his fingers on her face, sliding them downwards.Bianca pushes his arm off her face.“You disgust me, Roberto.” Bianca spat on his face as he violently pinned her hands to the wall. “You filthy thing!” Roberto calls as he subconsciously slaps her face.“Ah!” Bianca winced as she fell on the floor, she got released from his grasp at once. Roberto strides to the tap, he splashes water on his face.Bianca pants as she crawls to the bathroom entrance, sneaking out.“Do you think you can escape my den?” Roberto asks as he grabs her by the hair pulling her backward. Bianca screams, she could see David's reflection in him.“No, I'm sorry….please” Bianca pleads as he hurled her against the wall. Her whole body trembles
“Shh… ” Henry shuns her, and they maintained eye contact.”Trust me, everything would be alright. I would protect you at all costs” Henry stated, smiling with eyes and mouth. They cling hands, having meaningful eye contact.“Let's visit my mum in Roberto's hospital.” Bianca blinks, backing away as Henry tries to move closer, she moves her gaze elsewhere.Henry coughs, trying his best to fix her attention on him but it seems she's only interested in her mum at the moment.“Hmmm…Alright,” Henry responded, he lets go of her hand. He grips Roberto's suit on the floor he pulls a car key from the pocket. “I would drive” Bianca snatched the car key from Henry.“Okay…” Henry murmured.Bianca walks out of the mansion with the car keys in her hands. Henry pursued her, he creases his brows wondering what came over her.“You bitch!” A female voice yelled.Henry paused, shifting his gaze at the place the feminine voice resounded from. Alice came out of nowhere, she gaits barefooted with her heels
“Oscar is nothing compared to a weakling like you.” He gives, waggling his fingers in Henry's styled hair. Henry grunts, as he forces air out of his nostrils.All the men in black laughed loudly, humiliating Henry. Henry gave a tight-lipped smile as he glimpses Bianca seated close to him. The button of her lips just down with her gaze fixed on the floor. “Bianca, trust me. Everything would be alright” Henry assured her. Bianca blinks, shifting her gaze to Henry “I thought you took care of this. We are in a mess all because you are irresponsible”“Pardon?” Henry glared daggers at Bianca.“Shut up” The man in black seated close to them commanded, he slams Henry's head.“I deserve the same respect you offer to your boss, okay? Besides, we are one, aren't we a family anyone?” Henry questioned, facing a man in black.“Ah…ah… one family my foot. Mr. Chu is gone, there's nothing like that anymore, punk” The man in black uttered. He grabbed a black veil.“No..no. Don't do this to me, bro”
Some men in black walked in with their arms behind their heads as Bianca points a pistol threatening them.“You don't have to help me! I got the job done myself.” Bianca spoke. She ordered them all on them kneels.“Good! Just stay still.” Bianca uttered.Henry grunts.“What next?"“Phone the cops?” Bianca suggested, pointing the pistol at the men in black.“Geez! that would be a grave mistake, Henry. You can't eat your cake and have it. We are all going to jail if you expose us” Oscar quaked.“Gosh! I don't know the reason you would involve yourself in this crazy club?” Bianca blames Henry, squeezing her brows. Henry ignored her as he walks backward as Bianca led the way. “Club, indeed!”“How do we get home?”“Are you seriously asking me?”Oscar opens his mouth to catch his breath.“Shut that shit hole, rascal” Henry yells pulling Oscar's neck towards him as he walked out of the men in black hideouts.Bianca followed “Lay down flat, face the floor! The floor!” Bianca ordered, bouncing
“Lay down, mother.” Roberto smiles radiantly as he had some check up on Sophia. Roberto injects a liquid into her veins as she lies on the bed. A few minutes later… Sophia dozed off. Bianca was delighted seeing her mother so happy.“I can see some improvement in her health,” Roberto remarked.Bianca stares at the diamond ring inserted in her middle finger “Do you think you can fool me?” Roberto raised his brows, swinging his hair aside. “I want us to get married, Bianca.”“Why? I'm very sure you despise me” Bianca frowns, tightening her lips.“I was only striving for your attention, love. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you” Roberto pleads as their eyes met.Bianca hastily broke eye contact, she walked out of the ward. She blows out her cheeks.“Did he mean everything he said? Or is he toying with my heart?” Bianca questions as she tilts her head, she has no idea of what to do or how to react.She smiles when she recollects glimpsing a fearless and free smile on Sophia.“She ha
In the boutique*Bianca changed her outfit several times until Roberto admired one“I love this… it exposes your inner beauty” Roberto smiles at her.“Learn to smile a bit, you are making me feel like a monster” he dictated.Bianca faked a smile to make him stop uttering nonsense.The dresses were properly packaged in a fancy bag.“You look tired, Sweetheart. Don't worry, I would order other accessories needed to make you look sexy for me.” Roberto cooed as he pulls his arm across Bianca's shoulder.Some ladies were shocked to discover Roberto with another lady. Their pictures were secretly taken and posted on the internet.Roberto was trying his best to make her feel on top of the world, trying his possible best for Bianca to see the world from another perspective. Will she fall for all that?“I don't need all these expensive gifts.” Bianca let out a frown.“You need it, you are mine now” Roberto smirks holding her arm.He drove her home.He bought Bianca new phones, laptops, and dres
“Why would I?” Bianca disputed.“Nevermind. Come after me” Roberto ordered as he walked into his room.“Why?” Bianca followed as she squint her eyes, she was so curious about what he was about to show her.They strode into the dressing hall. Roberto picked a red dress, he places it on Bianca's body. He angrily threw the dress, searching for another.“What's the special occasion? What's going on?” Bianca asked, folding her arms on her chest.Roberto picked a purple dress from the dresser, he places it on Bianca “It is perfect” Roberto winked at her. Bianca clenched her fist on the purple dress, she fling it on the floor.“How is this related to my mother?” Bianca questioned.“A close friend of mine is hosting a party. I must be there…with you.” Roberto explained, gawking at Bianca.“When did you start caring about one dumb party? I'm not coming alone with you. You are wealthy, you can find a substitute as your wife or whatever.” Bianca let out, her angry gaze sliced him.“It seems yo
Bianca shot him a disgusted gaze. They finally reached the third floor. It was filled with numerous guests chit-chatting. The room looks magnificent, Bianca shot her gaze at the beautiful chandelier hung on the ceiling “Wow” Bianca's eyes widened.Roberto rolled his eyes “That's just a showoff” He scoffs. Roberto feigns a smile as he grabs Bianca by the waist.They walked out of the elevator. A bunch of ladies bumped into Roberto“Hi, I'm a crazy fan” they echoed. He moves his naughty eyes to them, licking his lips. Roberto let go of Bianca, he couldn't let his eyes off them. A young lady gasps as Roberto held her by the waist, stopping her from falling.“Is he a celebrity? Fan, my foot!” Bianca rolled her eyes, she walked away from them as she folds her hands on her chest, holding onto her purse tightly.“This place is magnificent,” Bianca compliments as grabs a cup of wine offered by the wine steward. “Do you like it?” A masculine voice echoed behind her.Bianca smiles as her eye
Henry ran to a doctor his eyes met “Hi, how is my son, Erickson? I heard he got into an accident and he needed a blood donor.” Henry questioned, he cared less about arresting Hannah.“Oh, you mean the patient in ward 103. His partner regained consciousness with bruises but he's still unconscious, he loved so much blood and urgently need a blood donor.” The doctor explained.“Then what are you waiting for? What about the blood bank?” Henry asked hastily. Bianca watched the cops take Hannah. She, later on, remembered her children, and she ran to Celine's ward.“Frankly, there is a higher percentage that the blood bank might not be able to deliver on time. It might be too late when they arrive.” Tue doctor explained.“I can't lose my son. No! I just can't!” he lamented holding his head, tears flowing from his eyes as he stares at the doctor.“Aren't you his father?” The doctor questioned. “I am!” Henry said almost screaming. He knew the next option was to carry out some tests on his bloo
“Shh…I know you love me more.” Erickson said like he read her mind. Celine shrugged with a frown. “Will you stop making this weird?” Erickson grabs her arm tightly. He moved closer to her and his eyes met hers. With a smirk, he leaned closer. Celine jolts, she tried to walk away but his tight grip on her arm stopped her. Erickson was only making things hard for her, he was trying to confess his feelings but since Celine wasn't willing to listen to his confessions, he thought he had to force it on her.His grip on her arm becomes tighter and he didn't notice the pain he's inflicting on her. “I love you too” Celine confessed with tears streaming down her chin. She thought she could hide those feelings but not anymore.Her heart ceased for a second, she wanted to run away from her feelings and then Erickson embraced her from behind.He let go of her arm with a grin, finally fulfilling his wish. “Let's run away!” Erickson confessed with tears dropping from his eyes.Unknown to them, the
It was getting dark“I will drive us home, besides mum must be damn worried,” Celine announced.Henry let out a chuckle, laughing with eyes “I wouldn't want to end up in an accident, love.” Celine darted a feigned glare at him.“You can't force me, your highness.” A blush appeared on her face, she hopped in the car with a wide smile, the smile she had never had. Her life feels complete with her family whole and healthy but she didn't think of the evil lurking in a corner. Henry drove, they were only stealing glances at each other in silence.“Dad, do you treasure every moment we share just like I do?” Celine broke the silence.“Uh… that's not a question, love. I treasure every second I set my eyes on you. I regret the fact that I didn't see you grow up.” “Those three days we spent tomorrow felt like 20 years, Dad. You don't have to be sorry.” Celine chimed.The vehicle halts at his mansion. They alighted with a smile. Don crinkled his nose when he sighted Celine, he got disgusted
Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase. Tears streamed down her face, and her chest heaved with sobs."How could you do this to me, Henry?" she screamed. "How could you have a child with another woman?"Henry stood behind her, his hands in his pockets, looking crestfallen."Helen, I'm sorry," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt you. It was a mistake, a one-night stand, I swear.""A mistake?" Helen whirled around, her face contorted with anger. "A child is not a mistake, Henry! You have a daughter out there, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me!""Helen, please," Henry begged, taking a step towards her. "Let me explain.""Explain what?" Helen shouted. "That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested. "It happened before we even met.""That doesn't make it be
“That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her. She knew this was a trap, but it was too late to turn back now. She stood frozen, she gasps when she sighted Henry, Helen, and Erickson in chains, and then her hawkish gaze moved back at David.It was the first time she's seeing David in person. She squint's her brows"Who are you?" Celine asked, trying to sound confident but failing."I want your supposed father, my dear, I'm David," David replied with a smirk. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now I have you to myself."Celine clenched her fists and stepped forward. "You're sick, David. Let them go and face me like a man."David chuckled. "You are in no position to give me orders, my dear. You are the one who is going to do as I say.
Emily knelt beside him, checking for a pulse. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Celine. "He's still alive," she said.Celine's heart was pounding in her chest. She had never been so close to death before. The room was filled with the sound of their labored breathing.The minutes stretched on, and the silence between them was unbearable. Celine tried to speak, but her throat was too tight.Finally, they heard the sound of sirens outside. Celine felt a rush of relief. The police were coming.Jones was taken away in handcuffs, and Celine and Emily were left alone in the room. They sat on the bed, numb and exhausted.Emily put her arm around Celine. "Are you okay?" she asked softly.Celine shook her head. "No," she said. "That crazy guy almost killed us. He didn't care a bit about you.""It's okay," Emily said. "We'll get through this together."Celine leaned into her friend's embrace, feeling safe for the first time since the ordeal began. She knew that they had a long road ahe
“Emily, please don't tell me you believe that trash! Why would I assassinate you lover?” she said with her lips quivering.“What's with the pretense now? There's no one here just us.” Emily creased her brows with eagerness to listen to whatever she wanted to say.“I didn't murder him, besides he's alive. We had no dispute whatsoever so why would I hurt that fellow? ”“Really? You hated him from day one.” Emily rasped, blaming innocent Celine. If only she knew Jones was only playing tricks on her to get rid of Celine.“Im not ready to argue. Just want to inform you that Jones isn't dead.” Celine said.Emily laughed loudly “Oh my, what the fuck do you think I am? I ain't gullible. Do you think I would believe those cooked-up stories?.” Celine's mouth widened, she couldn't believe her ears. She knew Emily changed overnight and there is a solid reason she was being accused. With so much disappointment, Emily stormed out of the restaurant. Celine ran after her but with time, she lost her
With a cloud of sadness hovering over her, she fell to her seat with a slumped shoulder. Her confidence died down so did that rejoicing soul of hers. She looked up to Henry with a dreadful stare “You are at fault,” Henry was unable to compose himself anymore, the tears of joy wiped off, and he had no gut to look into his daughter's eyes. His eyes fell to the floor his soul drowning in disappointment.“If you haven't left mum for that woman. This wouldn't have happened!” Celine stood up, “Go take care of the bruises on your face” she stormed out of the hospital and fell to her knees with tears streaming from her eyes.Despite being blamed by them, he didn't hesitate to check on Bianca before running after them. Getting into her ward, the doctor was done conducting tests on her. “Hello,” “Oh hi, Mr. Henry.” The doctor in charge greeted me. Henry feigned a smile to avoid unnecessary attention.“Don’t pull on a long face, sir. She's getting better. ” The doctor said with a smile. Afte
Henry lay on the ground, bloodied and bruised, his men continued to beat him mercilessly. He was in turmoil, he groaned cursing the day he ever joined the men in black. “Let go of me! Stop!” Henry ordered. He thought his title as the second in command would make them listen but it was otherwise.“Beat him to death, boys. We need to send his head to Boss when he is dead.” Lucas chuckled.Henry became weak and he couldn't scream for help anymore, he was about to lose consciousness when a gunshot rang out. It was fired at Lucas's forehead. The men stopped their assault as they were gunned down. Henry struggled to open his eyes, his vision blurry and his head pounding.“Who's that? Please don't kill me, we can talk this out.” Henry said, checking his pocket for his pistol.“Damn it!” He grumbled as he couldn't find his gun in his pocket. He remembered keeping the gun in his car.He blinked away the haze and his gaze met a figure emerging from the
