“LILY!” “LILY!” Noah shouted as soon as he walked into the living room of the Allen mansion. He looked completely livid as he shouted his sister’s name. “What's all the ruckus all about?” Camilla walked out of her room with a glaring face while looking for the person shouting early in the evening. It didn't take long for Anthea and the rest of the Allen family members to gather in the living room. “Noah?” Anthea looked at her brother with a frown before walking towards him. Noah’s eyes were bloodshed. “What happened, Noah? Is everything alright?” Anthea rushed to him worriedly when she noticed his messy state. “How could you do this to me?” Noah shouted, pushing her hands, which were about to touch him. Anthea’s eyes widened at his sudden behavior. “What?” She stared at him in confusion while wondering the reason behind her usually calm brother’s rage. “How could you betray me like this?” Noah yelled, his eyes glaring at her murderously. Anthea never saw him behave like this.
“What did he say?” Rayan looked at Anthea's face pale as ice. Anthea stayed silent, her whole body shaking. She couldn't believe what just happened. “Anthea! What did he just say?” Rayan walked towards her, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe what he just heard. It was all impossible. How could she hide her pregnancy from him and give birthday to their child? “Oh my God! Rayan, she gave your child up for adoption. How heartless.” Camilla cried out, grabbing the chance to bring Anthea down. She was equally shocked with the news. She didn't expect Anthea to be pregnant and give birth without their knowledge. However, knowing she gave up the child for adoption, her heart squalled with joy. Anthea was ruined without doing anything. Rayan would never forgive her, she was sure. “She gave birth to your child and she didn't even tell you. She purposely hid your child and betrayed you, Rayan. How vicious.” Sarah glared at Anthea, using the opportunity to perfectly slander
“How is it possible?” Rayan asked in disbelief. He just couldn't accept it, no matter how much he tried. Anthea looked at him before exhaling deeply. “I didn't know I was pregnant. I only found out the day we came to attend Amelia's birthday. You remember when I was in the washroom for too long and you almost broke in? I found out at that time that I was pregnant again.” She informed me while wiping her tears with the back of her palm. “Then why didn't you tell me?” He asked, feeling betrayed once again. He didn't know if he would be able to forgive her for this or not. “Because I was afraid. The previous day, you didn't come home because you went to LA, and then Aurelia called me and sent me those pictures of you two together. I even heard your voice over the phone calling her. I thought you were really cheating on me with her, and I was afraid Aurelia and Camilla would hurt my child again.” Anthea replied, beginning to sob again. She couldn't explain how much pain she was feeling
“Mr. Allen, I'm here with everything you asked for.” Josh, Rayan’s head of security, knocked on his office’s door before entering. “Have a seat.” Rayan nodded before offering to sit opposite him. “It's okay. Here.” Josh nodded back before placing a pendrive on Rayan’s desk. Rayan took the pen drive before inserting it into his laptop. It's been around a week since the day Noah revealed the shocking truth. After his confrontation with Anthea, he had been completely ignoring her presence. He needed space to cope with the hurt and betrayal he felt because of her action. “Noah met Asher.” Rayan narrowed his eyes when he looked at the content on the pen drive. Throughout the whole week, he had been investigating and planning out how to take down all of his enemies. He already had enough. “Yes. They met on Tuesday afternoon.” Josh nodded, confirming his question. “Did you track his location?” Rayan asked, his eyes focused on the laptop screen as he scanned every detail. “Yes. He's sta
After reaching the Allen mansion, Rayan carried Anthea into their bedroom before placing her gently on the bed. Anthea was about to say something when Rayan’s phone rang, cutting her off. “Yes, Josh.” Rayan answered the call. “Mr. Allen, I have bad news.” Josh’s voice carried a sense of anxiety, making Rayan frown. “What happened?” He inquired, glancing at Anthea and then excusing himself. “Asher kidnapped your daughter from her daycare.” Josh quickly informed Rayan, causing Rayan’s expression to change drastically. “What!” Rayan froze. “How the fuck did this happen? Where’s my daughter now?” He growled in rage, his heart rate picking up because of fear. “We are trying to track him down. Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to her.” Josh tried to assure him while barking orders at his subordinates at the same time. “I'm going to kill that bastard if he dares to lay a single finger on my daughter.” Rayan gritted out, looking completely livid. “He is still in town. Don't w
“What are you two doing here?” Aurelia glared at Sarah and Camilla as soon as they walked into the living room of Jones mansion. “Why? Can't we come for a visit?” Camilla chuckled, trying to hide her nervousness. She had no choice but to come here to ask for their help. That bitch really threw them out of the Allen Estate and now they have no place to go. “Really?” Aurelia scoffed, feeling amused at her blatant lie. “What?” Camilla cleared her throat while gripping her clothes tightly. Did Aurelia see through her facade? No, no! How would she know about it?“Judging from your clothes, I can tell that bitch Anthea finally threw you out of the Allen estate.” Aurelia chuckled as she looked at them from head to toe. Camilla would never step out of the house looking like that. She would always dress extravagantly wherever she went and Sarah was just like her mother. Right now, both of them looked like homeless buggers. “What nonsense are you speaking, Aurelia? Where are your parents?”
"Anthea, you need to eat something, please.” Emilia sighed as she sat beside Anthea while holding a plate of food. It's been more than eight hours since Nevaeh was kidnapped, and since then, Anthea has been going completely crazy. “No! I won't touch a single food until my daughter returns.” Anthea pushed the plate of food while weeping silently. “Please, Anthea.” Emilia requested. She was getting worried about Anthea’s condition too. She came to visit her as soon as she heard the news.“How can I eat when my baby is nowhere to be found? I don't even know if she ate or not. I have no idea how those people are treating my baby, Emi.” Anthea snapped, tears streaming down her face. Her heart clenched in pain the moment she thought about her daughter. “Nevaeh would be fine, Anthea. Rayan and Roman wouldn't let anything happen to her.” Emilia tried to assure her, knowing very well what her cousin was going through at this moment. “I don't know, Emi. I just want my baby back. Bring my ba
“Noah!” Anthea smiled, looking at her brother, who was peeking at her bedroom door. “You asked for me.” Noah cleared his throat before hesitantly stepping inside. “Yeah. Please come in.” Anthea tried to smile at him more while calling him inside. “Sit here.” She instructed him, patting the seat next to her after he stepped inside and reached her bed. “How is your leg?” Noah sighed as he looked at her leg, which was wrapped in a bandage and placed on a pillow. “Great! But I still can't walk.” Anthea chuckled, trying to lift his sullen face. She knew what was going on inside her brother’s head. He might have done those things and spoken harshly that day because of his rage, but that wasn't the whole of him. Her brother was kind and gentle from the inside out. She had faith in both her and her father’s upbringing. “You will be fine.” Noah barely smiled, touching her legs gently. “Yeah!” Anthea nodded. A moment of silence passed as they both struggled with their own thoughts. Anthe
