Mr. Anonymous couldn't help but smile as he watched the frozen expression on Owen's face.Yes! That serves him right. He is gonna make sure Owen pays for what he had done to him back then.“A... Alex! You have changed!” Owen said incredulously. He couldn't believe this was the same nerdy guy he almost bullied to death back then. Let me explain. Back then, when Owen fell in love with Alice. Do you all remember Alice? The lady Ben mentioned that day. The one Whitney allegedly did something to. Even I don't know what she did.But when Owen fell in love with Alice, he was quick to notice that he was not the only one in love with her. I mean, which guy won't trip for Alice's innocent but eye-catching beauty.Alice was a very beautiful blonde. One of the best cheerleaders in school back then. She was smart, gorgeous, charming, and simply captivating. What more? Yes, she was also down to earth.Meaning she was humble, nice, and simply kindhearted. So Alex was this nerdy guy back then. You k
“Aunt Lena, we need to leave this house right away. Don't worry. I'll take care of you. Leave Tia with them and let's escape while we still have the chance,” Jimmy spoke. Maverick and Whitney looked at him with their mouths opened agape. Even Lena couldn't help but look at him.What is this little brat saying? “Shut up or I'll be forced to leave this bed and come over there to spank your little butt,” Whitney threatened, and Jimmy immediately closed his mouth.He even used his fingers to hold his lips, indicating that he is closing his mouth. “Now what I wanted to say before this little brat's imagination ran wild is that I'm getting married,” Whitney said.“To who!!!?,” Lena and Jimmy spoke together. Maverick couldn't help but sigh. Damn! Can't she just go straight to the point? Why does she have to twist the words and beat around the bush?Lena glared at Maverick. This brother of hers is a blockhead. After all her warnings, he still let Whitney slip away from him. Why can't his chi
“Why are you doing this!? What the f*ck do you want from me?” he yelled. He felt like he was gonna go crazy. Is this what they call karma?“What else? I want revenge of course. You let my poor mother die!! Don't think I did not find out that it was you! How could you have been so cruel? Mom didn't have anything to do with what we were arguing about and you killed her!” Alex shouted back.His face displayed how angry he is. Owen couldn't say anything. He thought he already asked those men to leave before anyone got there so how was Alex able to find out that he was the mastermind.“Deal or no deal,” Alex asked coldly this time. Owen couldn't help but shiver in fear. Now he had a pleading expression on his face. “Can't you just let bygones be bygones? This company won't be useful to you. You know nothing about business,” Ben said.“You are not the one that will tell me what to do. Stop wasting my time. Deal or no deal. I don't have much time left,” Alex said as he checked his wristwatc
“Who told you I feel better? My body still aches,” she told him as she quickly lay on the bed. “Then use your drugs. It will make you feel better? Or are you waiting for me to feed you with my mouth again?” he asked smugly.Whitney glared at him. “I told you I don't feel too good. I'm not interested in using those drugs. Get out and let me sleep,” She said.“Shouldn't you take drugs if you don't feel well?” he asked her refusing to back down. Just then his phone vibrated. He checked the phone and a smirk appeared on his face.He read the message. It is from Alex. 'Good, the boy is getting better every day,' he thought as he stared at the phone screen. He can vividly remember when he first met Alex back then. The boy had appeared lost and broken. He looked like he had completely lost in the battles of life. Like he doesn't have a purpose for living anymore. Amber had been the one who found him back then just before he committed suicide.He was still with a backpack containing lots of s
Maverick received a notification and checked his phone. He immediately looked at Whitney. He stared at the phone again and stared at her. “What the f*ck did you do to the files on my table? The ones in my office,” he asked with a slightly annoyed look.Whitney froze. Oh no! When she was bored in his office earlier, she had messed with the files on his table. She immediately lay on the bed and pretended like she had fallen asleep.“Damn it! Whitney, I know you are not sleeping. What did you do to my files!? Do you know how important they are?” he asked her. “What are you talking about? I don't understand,” She asked. Just then Lena came in and looked surprised to see the current situation.“Jimmy, what happened? Why is brother looking so worried?” she asked.“Well, they were arguing about wedding cakes. Aunt wants to get a chocolate cake but dad wants a fruit cake. I don't know how wedding cakes turned into what happened to my files,” Jimmy explained.Lena looked at them. What did sist
“I'm gonna give you just five seconds to get up from that bed or you will see what I will do,” Maverick threatened her with a smirk.' What is he gonna do?,' Whitney thought curiously as she stubbornly refused to sit up or open her eyes.“One... I'm already counting. It is better you sit up now,” He warned but she didn't answer. She wants to see what he will do.“Two... Three... Four... I am still giving you time to sit up now... Sit up while I'm still in a good mood,” he said. Whitney resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Why does he like bluffing so much?“Five. Your time is up,” he said, and then she could feel the other side of the bed sink in. Her heartbeats quickened cause she knew he got into bed. She almost screamed when she felt his strong hands wrapped around her waist.He kissed her hair and whisper - yell into her ears,“I gave you enough time. Now time to receive your punishment.” He slowly turned her around. By then, Whitney couldn't resist from opening her eyes to look at h
Lena couldn't help but smile. The lovebird completely forgot about him. She quickly replied,' He left as soon as Ann left.' She put her phone down after a few minutes of no response, then she faced Jimmy. They continued with the wedding preparations. They looked very excited like they were the ones that are gonna get married. “Aunt Lena with the way dad and aunt Whitney are behaving, I'm very afraid they might never get married. Should we do something to make the wedding preparations faster?” he asked. Lena thought of it and smiled before nodding then she glanced at Jimmy suspiciously. “Are you sure you are seven? Where do you get all the ideas and nonsense from?” she asked him with a suspicious look. Jimmy smiled nervously and said, “Aunt, what do you think? Don't have weird thoughts okay? And I'm not seven... I'm seven-plus.” Lena chuckled, “What is the difference? The number is still the same. Seven... Seven plus... The numbers are the same.” Jimmy shook his head s
“But the ring is too expensive. I can't let you buy something as expensive as that for me. The guilt won't let me enjoy wearing it,” she told him. “Don't feel guilty. I can't let you wear inferior things. The nation's husband wifey shouldn't be looked down on by other people,” he told her. Whitney blinked back the stupid tears almost spilling out. This is stupid but she actually feels touched. When Karl had gotten her a ring, she was extremely grateful that he got her something simple. After their breakup, that night... No one knows about this but she actually googled and searched for the prize of the ring. Imagine her shock when she found out the ring was a fake. A fake ring! He actually thought so low of her. As if he knew she would accept anything as long as it is from him. He really played with her emotions well. He thought of her so low that... that he couldn't find anything else but to propose to her with a fake ring. She couldn't control her emotions so she bur
Owen sat impatiently on a chair as he kept on calling Zoey's number but it was not reachable.He kept on trying but it was not reachable. After the doctor informed them about Gia's health he got angry more. He was waiting for her to wake up so that he can't hurt her and say hurtful things to her just like he did to Whitney but he can't.She already lost her mind even if he did she won't understand what he is talking about.He wanted to have his money back and get the company back from Alex. He has the hope that he will get Janiece back once he does that.But Miss Zoey's number is not reachable, he checked the address on the business card and decided to go to her maybe something is wrong with her phone.When he got to the address he saw nothing there. There was no sign of a company."Excuse me, sir?" He stopped a passerby. "Yes, Mister" the woman answered."Was there a company here named Zoey?" He asked. " We don't have a company in this neighborhood" she replied.After noticing his e
Alex stared at the report in his hand with his mouth wide open. His suspicion was right, Asher is his son.He returned the DNA test to the brown envelope and walked out of his office.He went to Karl's company and took Alice out, he was able to do that because it was her lunchtime."You have been staring at me for a while now and I think my body must have tons of holes" Alice joked as she felt uncomfortable with his stares.He stood up and walked to her side, he knelt and Alice's heart started beating so fast, she thought he was going to propose but he did the unexpected.He dropped a brown envelope on the table beside her food. "Read it," he said and she took it with fear.She opened it and saw it as a DNA test, she didn't check the name and just saw positive."Whose DNA test is this? Did you find one of your family? Is it a sibling?" She asked." Do you remember my strange questions about Asher's father?" He asked and she nodded." I am the monster who raped you. I am the monster wh
"That's not it, I just want to know if you hate him," he said. " I don't I'm just mad at him for not waiting until I woke up, I want to ask him why he did what he did" she replied truthfully"So if he apologizes will you forgive him?" He asked, " it's hard to decide but I don't want to think about it. Why are you asking such an impossible thing? "She wondered." How sure are you that it is impossible?" He asked and she chuckled, " he didn't show up for the past six years, you think he will show up now? I doubt it" she chuckled." Alice remember that I just want you to be happy," he saidThere was a brief silence. Alice was confused about why Alex is suddenly talking like that. Is something wrong?Is he giving up on her? She doesn't think she will ever find anyone who will treat her the same way he did."What are you talking about? Are you leaving again?" She asked." If you find out the truth you might hate me," he said"I don't think I can ever hate you," she said. He shook his head a
"Are you in love with him?" He asked as his voice broke. The truth will hurt him, if Alice is really in love with Alex then there is no space for him in her heart.And it looks like he had successfully turned her against him judging from how angry she is right now."Answer me!" He demanded when she didn't say anything but just stared at him as tears ran down from her eyes."You have no right over me. I don't owe you an explanation of what I feel. So, you don't get to ask me any questions about who I love" she said." So you do love him," he said, "why do you care? Why do you make me feel like it's my fault when it is all yours!" She pointed at him." Why do you make me feel guilty for something you are responsible for!? Why are you punishing me, Owen? Why?" She asked as her tears became uncontrollable." What are you talking about?" He asked finding every word of her's confusing. "Really you are going to pretend to be clueless? Geez who am I kidding, what was I expecting? That you wou
The duvet was on the floor, and papers were torn on the floor too, he walked closer and saw her swollen eyes. Her hair was tattered as if she were insane. She looks like she hasn't bathed since the day she was born."What the f*ck is this Gia? Have you finally lost your mind?" He asked as he rushed to open the windows for good ventilation."Owen stop shouting! I told you not to shout at me, it will affect my baby" she said but it came out as a whisper.She started rubbing her stomach as she said, "she is the only option I have to get Karl back"" Hey look at me," he said as he squat in front of her, he wanted to let her go and run to the bathroom to puke but before he does that, he needs to knock some senses into her."Karl is gone, all you have is your baby and us. So stop acting like a spoilt brat and get your ass off the ground, take a bath and come downstairs for breakfast" he said before standing up " Why should I?" Gia asked, "because your family needs you. Mom is downstairs wa
He was in the same club as Alice that day if that is true, the mistake he made can't be with her right? "It's been long enough" she replied to his question and he gulped down. "Alex do you still have feelings for me?" She asked after noticing the way he looked at her. "What if I do?" He asked with a nervous chuckle. "I knew it," she said, " Let's go to my office" she added and he nodded before igniting the car. *** Cole sat in a restaurant waiting for the person that called him. He already sent a message that they should meet in a restaurant. He has been sitting for five minutes and she is not there yet, he stood up about to leave when a middle-aged woman walked in. She looked suspicious because she kept staring at the back to see if anyone is following her. Cole recognized immediately to be doctor Ann's mother, Mrs. Jane. But why is she here? She can't be the person that called him can she? She doesn't look like the type of person who would murder someone else. It has to be
"I did nothing wrong! All I did was for the sake of our family" he retorted. " Family? Family you say? You did it all got your selfish interest" he spat. " Don't speak to me in that manner Cole I am your father and everything I did was for your sake, our family's sake" he said "Stop saying that! Do you even know what family means? You killed your flesh and blood. Your brother and sister-in-law and you said it is for the good of the family? For which family? The one you murdered or the one you are about to murder?" He asked. " Don't judge me when you don't understand my decisions!" He yelled, "don't expect me to understand your decisions when you don't explain them!" He yelled back too. They glared at each other for a while before Cole said, "don't bother explaining because no explanation can justify a murder" " I am not here to argue with you," he said in a calm tone, when are you returning home?" He asked. " I am not coming back to that hell you call a home" Cole spat. " You
Ann stared at nothing, it was not like she can see anything since it is dark. If she helps the big boss get rid of Whitney just like she got rid of Amber. She will finally be able to execute her plan.She will be beside Maverick whenever he's mourning. That was her original plan when she got rid of Amber but she couldn't do it because Maverick was affected and she felt guilty.She thought it was only Amber that will be in the car when the accident will happen and she will play the role of a good friend by consoling him.That was how she planned on winning his heart but everything changed when she found out Maverick was affected.But now she won't do something that will affect everyone else. She is going to do something that will affect just Whitney.But the big boss isn't after Whitney alone, he wants both Whitney and Maverick gone. She needs to do something so that Maverick won't be affected again.The last time he was lucky enough to just lose his leg, this time he might lose his li
"What did you just say?" Whitney asked as it felt like her ear was not functioning properly. "I said what if I married you because I love you?" He repeated the question and she smile nervously."Of course, it is a what if" she chuckled, awkwardly and he quickly corrected himself." I'm in love with you Whitney!" He blunted. "Stop pulling my legs, I never said I want you to tell me you love me," she said." I am not pulling your legs, I am seriously in love with you. I don't know if I was feeling it when I proposed or I didn't notice it but all I know right now is that I am insanely in love with you" he blunted." When did you start reading romance novels?" She asked and he frowned. Why is she talking about useless things when he is serious? "Whitney!" He frowned as she laughed covering her mouth and holding her stomach. "I am sorry if it sounds rude but you really looked like you memorized that line, and just decided to tell me, and after I will tell you how good your performance is
