I arrived at the hospital and found my mother in Biggyโs room. The others were probably out, but I didnโt bother asking her. She had been the one staying with him since he was admitted and hadnโt gone home. I marched toward her and pulled her into a hug. โHow was your outing? I hope you got the information you needed?โ She asked as I settled next to her. I exhaled sharply, taking her hands in mine. โI canโt wait for this to be over. I want peace, but it seems weโre not getting it anytime soon.โ She sighed, but I couldnโt hold back what was weighing on my mind. It felt like I should just step down as president and go somewhere else. I longed for love and harmony with someone who matched my energy. Dealing with all this chaos was frustrating and exhausting, especially when there was no progress. โI hope you know your father is trying. Heโs doing everything he can as a father to make sure youโre safe.โ I nodded, aware that he had done far more for me than my biological father ever w
Lisa grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. We didnโt stop until we reached the parking lot, where she leaned against her car. I watched as she pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and held it up to my face.I frowned, unsure of her intention, until I looked closer. The image on the screen caught my attention immediately, it was Samantha. She appeared to be arguing with, or even striking, the woman next to her."Thatโs Ryanโs mother, butโฆ what is this? And the woman with her, who is she?" I asked, my confusion deepening.Lisa raised her brows, silently urging me to figure it out on my own. But she remained quiet.Taking the phone from her hand, I zoomed in on the video. As soon as I recognized the other figure, my heart sank. My hands flew to my mouth in disbelief as I stared at Lisa."What are they doing together?" I muttered, more to myself. The scene was unsettling, the two of them on what seemed to be a quiet, secluded road. "Why would they meet when they donโt even get alon
RyanIt was late in the evening, and I had just finished giving a speech at a conference I was invited to. Though it was impromptu, I had to attend, even though I still wasn't feeling like myself after what happened yesterday. I had to leave immediately since I had a meeting with Mr. Fernandez. He had literally reached out to me earlier this morning to meet him at a popular restaurant in town.Everything that happened yesterday made me feel less of a man. I didnโt know what to think after finding myself at Alexโs apartment. Heโs been insisting Zara has something to do with this.I donโt even know how to convince him otherwise, how to tell him sheโs innocent and wouldnโt spike my drink. When I went home this morning, I found her crying because I hadnโt returned her calls. She thought something had happened to me, and Jasper didnโt pick up her calls either.This isnโt the first time I have experienced this. It always starts with a sharp headache, and suddenly, I become sleepy. I have al
Ethan Father is taking longer than expected to arrive. I had spoken to him a few minutes ago, he told me he was already on his way to the address I shared with him, but thereโs still no sight of him. I should reach out to Emilyโmaybe heโs still at home, forgot something, and had to go back. I turned to the guys, extending my hand to get the phone. Once I collected it, I scrolled through and dialed her number. Iโm supposed to fly out of the country soon; the pile of work I have is alarming, and I need to get it done. Laughter greeted me when she picked up, followed by her voice. โHey, where have you been?โ โLisa didnโt tell you? We caught the twinsโ friend. Iโm at the crib with him, but heโs refused to say a word.โ I heard her sigh. I know she's probably gritted her teeth even though I can't see her. โYou should beat him until he bleeds; that way, heโll cooperate. Share your location with me. Iโll be there.โ She ended the call before I could respond. Staring at the phone, I heard
We arrived home to find the director parked outside the house. The guards must have stopped him from going inside. As we drove into the compound, Father instructed the guards to let him in.We all stood there watching as he drove in. He parked his car and stepped out rushing, falling to the ground and clutching Father's pants.โPlease, you have to help me! Iโll tell you everything I know, but you must save my company,โ he pleaded, sweat dripping from his face. His disheveled appearance made me wonder if he was involved in drugs or something similar.โI thought he claimed he was innocent? Why is he here asking for help now?โ Emily said, stepping forward. โWhat the hell do you think youโre doing here? Have you suddenly become loyal?โ Her tone was sharp and full of anger.I didnโt know what had transpired between them, but he must have crossed a line. Despite all those scandals, he had acted as if he was untouchable.โLetโs hear what he has to say.โ Father insisted."No, I told you what
Ryan "How do you feel after taking the medication?" I asked Jasper, who had just returned from the hospital. I had dropped him off after we left the restaurant so he could see a doctor. Still, something tells me that wasn't where he went. I even called Alex to check if Jasper had come around, but he said he hadnโt seen him since we left his place. After dropping Jasper off, I returned home to find the Internet buzzing with Adams' scandalous videos. My gut tells me Jasper has something to do with it, but he's keeping it from me. "Yes, I got some drugs, and I was injected." He replied, pulling items from his pocket. I stared at his hands, waiting to see what he was bringing out. To my surprise, it was a bunch of prescription drugs. Was he really sick? Where did he get treated? Alex said he never showed up, but now heโs back with medications. "Come sit down and have dinner; you can't take drugs on an empty stomach." I urged, gesturing toward the dining table. He sat down, dropping
WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT I felt anger blazing through me, my hand clenched into fists as I stood staring at her, my gaze on her nipples. "Eyes up here, mister." She demanded, obviously caught me staring at her. "Why are you dressed like this?" I asked, gesturing to her shorts and top, trying to keep the strain from my voice. "I don't think that is any of your business. Where is Alex?" Emily demanded, while raising her head high, meeting my gaze. I glared, my jaw tightening. So she did come to see Alex. Without thinking, I dashed towards her, pinning her against the desk. Her eyes widened, as she let out a gasp. "What are you doing? Let me go."She said, breathing heavily, as she struggled to get my hands off her. I ignore her, wrapping my hands around her waist, pulling her closer into me. Our faces are just a few inches away from one another. I watched as she gulped, looking elsewhere but me, one of her hand dangling, the other on my chest as if attempting to push me away but
Emily Having him touching me after so many years was blissful. I have missed him but refused to admit it for so long, always waiting for him to make a move, and finally, he did. I let out a gasp as he plugged into me and I gave a little scream, feeling a bit of pain. He paused, watching my expression with so much care in his eyes, allowing me to adjust against his length before he started moving again. "Damn! So tight. Must have missed me." He whispered huskily against my ear, giving my earlobe another bite. I moaned, wrapping my hands around his neck and trying to move against him impatiently. I needed him deeper in me. He laughed, before giving me a spank on my butt. "Easy." He cajoled before he rammed into me again, not stopping this time, as he thrust himself in, and I let out pleasure-filled gasps, closed my eyes, and relaxed my body. My heart began racing, and my fingers were twitching as I tried to control myself from not begging for more. It felt so good, his touches, car
EmilyItโs been two weeks since everything unfolded, and today the primary election was being held. Father went to the venue alongside Mother to keep him company. Donโt get me wrong, he didnโt go there to support the Mayor. In fact, he believes thereโs no chance the Mayor would be among the winners of the primary election. So thereโs no guarantee he will even make it to the general election.I had visited the hospital earlier to check on the well-being of my child before heading back home to watch the election updates unfold on the screen.Father had spoken to Ryan about letting his mother have her freedom now that my father had been caught. Though, theyโre still going back and forth because Ryan believes she might try to visit him in prison.To make things final, Father advised Ryan to visit the penitentiary and instruct them to deny her any visitation rights. He left for the prison about an hour ago and has yet to return.Since everything was over, I finally had nothing to worry abo
Screeching the car to a halt, I turned off the engine and stepped out. This was the same place where he had once admitted to orchestrating all the tragedies. Why bring me here again? I scanned my surroundings, my eyes darting to every corner. The area was eerily quiet, too quiet. Not a car, not a soul in sight. He knew what he was doing, using this secluded place to his advantage. The sharp tone of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I pulled it out and saw Ethan's name flashing on the screen. Great. What now? Ethan had a knack for calling whenever he felt like it, speaking to me like I was beneath him, and then cutting the call before I could say a word. I answered, bringing the phone to my ear while my eyes continued scanning the vicinity. If he brought me here, he could be watching. I had to stay alert. "What the hell did you get involved in? Is this how you plan to take care of my sister?" Ethan's voice boomed through the phone. My jaw clenched. His tone was grating
Ryan I couldnโt believe he ended the call. Heโs still as rude as ever. I knew he didnโt just call me; heโs only working with me because thatโs what Emily wants. I stood up abruptly, unable to sit still while she was missing. "Where do you think you are going?" Mother asked, preparing to stand up. Sheโd been indoors ever since I ordered the guards not to let her leave the house. The maid had called earlier to inform me that she hadnโt been eating. That was the only reason I came to see her. She could starve for all I cared, I wouldnโt mind. Amber is gone because of her carelessness, and honestly, I wouldnโt care if something happened to her too. "I'm heading out. Iโll see you later." "You canโt leave me here! I need to step out of this house; I canโt stay locked in forever." She demanded. "I only came here because youโre my mother and because of what the maid told me. Otherwise, you wouldnโt see me here." I paused before adding coldly, "A new maid will be here later to keep yo
Ethan Itโs been more than thirty minutes, and we still canโt find Emily. The certifications have been issued to the graduates, and they have taken their oaths, but thereโs still no sign of Emily. She canโt just leave without informing anyone. At this point, I blame her guard for giving her the keys without asking questions. How do we find her? People are already leaving. We want to take a family picture, but we canโt find her. If only I had insisted on coming with her. If I had waited, we would have gotten here together. She wouldnโt have left without me knowing where she was headed. She knows I wouldnโt allow her to leave if she didnโt inform me where she was going. "We canโt keep waiting for her. I believe she will come home." Father said, obviously tired of waiting. Heโs been seeing guests come to congratulate him on Lisaโs graduation, and has even gotten tired. He should be at home resting, not here when he still has stitches on his body. "She's old enough to take care of hers
Itโs been such a busy morning since I woke up. Iโve been helping the maids prepare food for the guests who showed up even before the day had begun. Itโs Lisaโs day, and everyone is happy, coming to congratulate and celebrate with her. Finally, weโve got a neurologist at home. Iโve been wondering how she intends to go after her business.Sheโll be resuming work at the hospital a few days later before flying out to her desired place, which Father is still working on. Iโm going to miss her; sheโs been the most supportive sister and friend Iโve had since I lost my other friends.Everything has happened so fast, in the blink of an eye. I canโt believe Iโve been married before, and now Iโm pregnant. I should inform Ryan about it instead of keeping it from him."Hey, what are you thinking?" I looked at the figure. It was Lisa, all dressed up, looking stunning. She was wearing a lace-trim off-shoulder slim dress, with elegant long sleeves and a back cut into a heart shape. Her hair was styled
It was a hectic evening with Lisa. We finally managed to get her something to wear for her graduation. Iโm not the one graduating, but Iโm so happy sheโs signing out of school.When we arrived home, Biggy helped carry the clothes from the car boot while we made our way into the living room.Father hadnโt come with us because he said the Mayor was coming over to see him. I guess he finally agreed to meet him, especially since the scandal heโs caught up in has been spread by bloggers.Iโm certain that Ethan had something to do with it, but he feigned ignorance when Father asked him. Speaking of Ethan, I havenโt seen him since he left the office with Freya, who has refused to return despite his requests.We marched into the living room and found Father seated with the Mayor. Their expressions didnโt seem lighthearted.I quietly marched past them and ascended the stairs."Good day, Mayor." Lisa greeted, clearly seated close to Father, as I heard her plop onto the couch."Hello, Lisa! Cong
EmilyIt has been more than ten days since we uncovered the truth that my birth father was the mastermind behind all the chaos that has unfolded. Since Ryan lost track of him that night, there have been no further leads to locate him. My adopted father was livid when he found out, ready to take matters into his hands, but his friend Liam managed to calm him down.Thereโs a reason I deeply respect Liam. He has a knack for stepping in at the right moment, offering advice thatโs both timely and wise. He convinced my father to let Ryan and Ethan handle the situation, especially Ryan, who has been enduring threats and even narrowly escaped death, all because of me.In four years of marriage, I had no idea Ryan was hiding such a burden from me. None of this made sense at first, but after my birth father admitted to all his crimes, I couldnโt deny the truth. He never truly liked me, not even as a child. If not for my mother standing up for me, I might have ended up in an orphanage, far remov
It took me a few minutes to bring Emily back to her senses. She was losing it and needed someone to ground her. We couldnโt fight her father here, he came prepared, determined to take her away with him. "Donโt say a word." I warned her, turning to face the man standing in front of us. He doesnโt deserve to be anyoneโs father. How could Jasper not find anything substantial on him when I asked him to investigate? "Iโm disappointed in you." I began, my voice steady and sharp, "not just as Emilyโs father but as a so-called boss who canโt even protect his men from danger." He furrowed his brows, clearly confused, as if he didnโt understand what I had just said. "You must remember when I told you that only a fool hides while his world crumbles around him. Your men were kidnapped, yet all you could think to do was chase someone youโll never catch." "Is this your attempt to provoke me?" He retorted, his tone calm but laced with disdain. "Youโve failed. Your words mean nothing to me." "Ca
I made sure all the plans were in place before stepping out, fully prepared. Heโs coming to get Emily, while the twins and their boss are coming for their friends body, and that of his brother. I will finally uncover who wanted Emily dead and went so far as to plant a bomb in her car. The anonymous figure whoโs been tormenting me for years, forcing me to divorce her, needs to be unmasked. I need answers. Why has he been doing all this? Once I was ready, I got into the car, buckled my seatbelt, and drove off. Weโre out to catch two people today. "Hey, is everything set? Any movement yet?" I asked, gripping the steering wheel tightly as I exited the parking lot. My nerves were shot, not because of the plan itself, but because Ethan kept giving us problems. I could only hope he wouldnโt jeopardize this operation. "Nothing yet, but that doesnโt mean no one will show up. Youโve seen the twin brother. Heโs not just starving, heโs like that because heโs been separated from his brother." K
