"You want revenge on me, right? Then you can get it. You want revenge on your family for chasing you out, then you can use me. But I just want you to know one thing, no matter what you do to me, I won't leave you alone again." "I'm loyal to Maverick. I will never abandon him for you. You are nothing but my past, and he is my present and future.” "Then I will wait... I will wait until you come back to me, until you are willing to accept me. And if you don't, I will continue to stay by your side, continue to let you use me, and protect you." ******* Emelia's happiest day turned into her saddest when she discovered she was pregnant, and Cassius broke up with her to marry her elder sister. Trying to keep her pregnancy a secret, she was discovered by her parents, who threw her out of the house and also tried to kill her, as she wasn't their biological daughter. They wanted to protect their real daughter’s happiness. After disappearing for five years, Emelia learned that she was the daughter of a billionaire who was believed to have died in fire years ago. Cassius's family was responsible for her real parents' deaths and had taken over all their property. Full of rage, Emelia returned with her two children to seek revenge on everyone and reclaim her property, hiding her true identity. However, she later realized that Cassius had truly loved her and was left in great pain when she left five years ago. But after finding out that, is she willing to accept him back? Is she willing to let go of her revenge and choose love again?

I hoped I wouldn’t embarrass myself by falling because I was trembling.Do you know why? Because IT'S MY WEDDING DAY!!!The moment I had waited for and dreamed about for so long. The wishes and dreams of every woman, and now, mine was about to come true. Or maybe I should say it had already come true.But as I stood there all alone, the smile on my face faded as I remembered the reality; I would be walking down this aisle alone. With no father to guide me, no mother to whisper comforting words to me about marriage.Although Eunice did help with all of this as we spent three days talking about marriage, I still wished it was my own mother. I learned a lot from Eunice’s words, and her love for her husband was the perfect example of a wife’s love. Despite her husband's heart belonging to another, she stayed with him, even now, as she finally learned to accep
“You came faster than I thought,” I said as I entered the Chinese restaurant room, seeing Jamez already sitting down.“I can’t believe you asked me to come here and still arrived late,” he replied.“I’m sorry, I had to pick someone up on my way.”“Hmm, I’ll be quick. Since I helped you last time with Desmond issues, so you should help me this time.”“Of course, we’re here to help each other. So what exactly do you need?”“I want to launder some money, but that fool has been keeping an eye on me.”“You mean your wife?”“Of course, who else? She’s always trying to act like the boss. Lately, she’s been nosy about everything happening in the company, keeping me in check. So I need to take everything I want before she tries anything stupid.”“I find that hard to believe. Don’t you both love each other?”“Love?” He scoffed. “If she hadn’t kept control of the company, I’d have divorced her a long time ago.”“But I thought she gave you all her property. Aren’t you in charge?”“That’s true, bu
ONE YEAR LATER“Good work, everyone,” I said, lifting up my hand and high-five with Kira.Kira was now working with me and in team B department. She’s also part of the reason why today's show was a success.“Wow, I can't believe we actually did it!” Betsy squealed in happiness.“But what happened to your hair? Why did you cut it? Are you going through a heartbreak?” Alexasked, and she rolled her eyes at him.“But, why did you only praise Team B? Is it because they're your favorite team?” Kathy's loud voice echoes through the room as she enters.I smiled at her words.“Of course not. I was just making my rounds and visiting all the teams,” I replied, and then she grabbed my hand and dragged me towards her team.As we were heading to her department, I suddenly felt the floor become slippery, but Kathy caught me and stopped me from falling.“Who is the monkey that did this terrible job here?” she yelled angrily, and all the cleaners quickly rushed towards us.“I’m very sorry, ma'am. It's
With my mouth agape, I looked at Mary, who still continued laughing."Is that true?" I turned to Mary."What if it is?” She answered without a hinto of guilt. “ Do you think if I hadn’t lied, you would have married me? Do you think you would have even given me a chance?" She asked Cassius "Is that why you did all this? Because you wanted him, knowing I loved him?" My voice quivered."Can you please shut up? You liked him? Then why didn’t you tell him? Why does everyone always like you and not me?""What are you talking about? Mary, everyone loved you, even your parents.""Look at her, acting clueless. Do you know why I broke up with all my boyfriends? Because they all said you were beautiful.‘Oh, Emelia is such a goddess.’‘Look at her glowing skin.’‘I wish I could be her friend.’‘Can you at least be like Emelia for once?’Those were their words. They admired you and always said you were every man's dream, while I was right there beside them.""Mary…" I called softly, realizing sh
EMELIA'S POVChecking the news, I saw both positive and negative comments. Some people were happy about the news, while others criticized me for being with Cassius after almost ruining his entire family.“Stop looking at this,” Cassius said as he shut the laptop.I heaved heavily, feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do.“Just give it a while; everything will sort out,” he said with a reassuring smile, and I nodded.I shouldn’t have let the kids go to school today. Who knows if those reporters went to their school? I picked up my phone to call their teacher, but David’s call came in.I bit my lip, feeling tense because I was sure it was about the news of Cassius acknowledging the kids.“Let me talk…”“No, I will,” I declined, standing up from my seat and picking up the call.“Hey, sweetie. Did you miss me a lot?”“Did I? I don’t really think I did, but I miss those troublesome big heads,” he joked, and a smile flashed across my face..David and I had a conversation, and I asked ab
MARY'S POVThe smell of hospital disinfectant filled my nose as I slowly opened my eyes. Looking around, I realized I was in a hospital room. The memories of everything that had happened came flooding back.“Cassius,” I muttered in anger as my hand tightened into a fist.I should never have trusted him or signed the divorce papers first. Now, everything I had worked for all these years was gone. I lost everything; my family, my marriage, my honor, and my prestige. There wasn’t a single thing I could claim as a gain from this marriage. Cassius had used me as a tool until Emelia returned to his arms.I laughed like a crazy person, and my laughter echoed across the room. The nurses exchanged worried glances before one of them rushed out. A short while later, she returned with Linda.“Are you okay now?” Linda asked as she walked to my side. I continued to stare into an empty spot.“Your husband brought you here and left immediately. I….”“He pushed me, and I hit my head heavily on the gro
CASSIUS'S POVWearing my clothes, I gently placed a kiss on her forehead and tiptoed out of the bedroom, heading out of the house. I had something I needed to do urgently. I entered my car and drove to my house.On getting home, I picked up a brown folder and took a deep breath. I needed to settle everything today. Grabbing a recording device, I entered the house but didn’t find anyone, so I went to the bedroom. As I slightly opened the door, I heard Mary screaming at someone on the phone.“What do you mean by treatment? How can I get a treatment at this time?” she yelled angrily, and my shoulders slumped.What? She is sick? How could I not know about it?Different questions raced through my mind as I rethought what I wanted to do. What kind of husband asks for a divorce from his sick wife? Staring at the brown folder in my hand, I decided not to go through with it. As I was about to close the door, I stopped at what I heard next.“Don’t you hear what I’m saying? I can’t get any trans
I heaved heavily, my heart thumping as if it would jump out of my chest at any moment."Do you think he will forgive me?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers, resting my back against the car.Cassius leaned closer to me and held my hand, stopping me from fidgeting with my fingers."I think he will, and if he doesn't, I am here for you," he said with a smile, which I returned.I apologized to Cassius and his family. Although it was very hard for them to forgive me for my actions, they still did. His father is being released today, while George has been sentenced to life imprisonment for what he did.Desmond's secretary actually went to deliver a message to a man that also lived in the dead cop building. I heard the man was very close to Desmond.The Aldriche family was still recovering from their loss, and I hope they really do. Betsy apologized for her actions, but surprisingly, Cassius's mom just hugged her, realizing she did so because of her only granddaughter's death. Every parent
"You called me?” I asked as I approached Bryan."Yes, I did because there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?""Just tell me. I've seen a lot in this life, and it really doesn't matter anymore. Whatever happens will happen.""Okay. The good news is that Lydia wasn't the culprit," Bryan said. I felt a small wave of relief, a smile briefly gracing my lips. Maybe I had hoped too much for her not to be the one."Her husband, George, is the one. That's the bad news," Bryan added, and my shoulders slumped.I tried to speak, but no words came out. What was going on in my head at this moment was still unknown to me. I know there was no different if the wife or husband was the culprit but it was still surprisingly.Bryan asked me to follow him, leading me to where Leonard was being interrogated. Trialing behind him with my grip tighten on the bag I was holding, my heart pounded heavily. I didn't even know if seeing him was a good thing because I was still trembling
“You’re two weeks pregnant,” Doctor Linda, my mother best friend, broke the news to me. Her voice gently but steady as her eyes filed with concern as they met mine. My heart skipped a beat as I swallowed hard with my mind racing,”Are you sure?” I asked to confirm the results, and she confirmed it once more as she nodded her head. “ Emelia, you have….” “ Oh my God, I can't believe this.” I let out a loud, piercing scream of happiness, covering my mouth with both my hands. Linda had a confused look on her face as she stared at me in awe. Yeah, I could understand her expression because to everyone, I had no boyfriend and was not seeing anyone and yet, here i was, pregnant. Immediately she noticed I happy about the news, a smile of relief flashed across her face. Unable to contain my excitement any longer, I quickly grabbed the test results from her hand, pick up my bag and stood up from my seat, heading out of her office. Not wasting any time, I proceeded to the antenatal clin
