Thank you for reading. So everyone planned for their future. Let's see what happens next. 🫣🫶
A bodyguard knocked at the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing Pamela. She was startled to see a crowd outside her door. She frowned at the masculine men."Yes?" she asked.The men in black uniforms stepped aside, revealing two people behind them. "Mr. Blake?" Pamela's face turned pale after seeing Xander.She smiled awkwardly, trying to compose herself. "You're here, Mr. Blake. Do...do you have any work for me?" she asked."Yes." Toby answered instead of Xander.Pamela swallowed as she looked at him. "Oh. You could've summoned me."Toby stepped forward. "Can we come inside? We need to talk.""Sure," Pamela said before moving aside.Toby and Xander entered the room, closing the door behind them. The other body guards remained outside. Pamela was sweating."Please take a seat, Sir." she pointed to the couch.However, Xander didn't sit. He walked around the apartment, taking in the surroundings."Let's talk." Toby said, drawing Pamela's attention. Pamela nodded and looked
Ariadne was in her room, drinking coffee while sitting on the sofa. She gazed outside, deep in thought. They suffered a severe setback after Crystal's interview. Everyone was distraught and trying to deal with the situation. The media even came to the old mansion to get an answer from them. Previously, everyone called her a homewrecker. Now, a new title had been added to her, that of a murderer. She had killed an unborn baby. But for Xander, things were even worse. People called him a rapist. They felt powerless. They knew the truth but couldn't prove it. Crystal showed the hospital records from her pregnancy and miscarriage five years ago as proof. People were convinced that all of the accusations were true. They were outraged, and some even demanded legal action against them. People were even demanding for Xander to be removed from his position as Blake Corporation's president. On the other hand, they boycotted the Autumn Collection. William was terrified of the situation as we
Ariadne tucked Alex into bed. A knock came at the door. She turned around to see Xander standing against it. "Is he sleeping?" he asked. "Yes." she replied, looking at Alex's sleeping face. The party had ended an hour ago. She insisted that Alex sleep in her room. She had met with him after nearly two weeks. Xander would bring him back to the hospital in the morning. So she wanted to spend the night with him. "I've something to talk with you." he said. "Oh. Wait a minute." She stood up from the bed and adjusted the lights near the bed. She then went to the couches. "Please take a seat." she said while sitting on the couch. Xander approached and sat opposite her. "What's it?" Xander cleared his throat. "We need to gather evidence against Zidane. Can you help us with this?" he asked. "Sure. What can I do to help you?" "Tell me everything you know about him. His personal life, all of his businesses, and their locations. And his secret businesses, if you know." "I only know
"Holy sh*t. He's confessing his love in front of the whole world. Wow." Tiara exclaimed. Ariadne looked at her, frowning. "What nonsense is this? Is this how he will handle everything... by lying?" "He's not lying... Jose told me everything." Tiara replied. Ariadne's heartbeat quickened. She was hesitant to believe it was true. 'I love you, Angel' his words from that night echoed in her mind. "Keep quiet, both of you. Let me listen." Mary said from behind. They all returned their attention back to the television. "This's something..." the anchor was at a loss for words. "But up until now, everyone knew that Crystal Miller is the love of your life. She stated this herself." "Yes. That's why I've come here to correct all of the false information." Xander said sharply. "That means she's lying!" the anchor stated in disbelief. She didn't seem convinced. They had seen Crystal with Xander over the years. This information was difficult to digest. His relationship with Ari
"How did they know she would be discharged today?" Xander asked through gritted teeth. Jose told him how the reporters created a scene at the hospital. He was furious after learning this. He had come to the old mansion to meet with Ariadne. "There must be an informer. Either the person works for the media or Crystal Miller." Jose replied. "Find out... and arrange an interview with that anchor as soon as possible." Xander said. "Okay, Boss." They came to a halt in front of a room. "This's her room, Boss." Jose left after showing him the room. Xander took a deep breath before knocking on the door. "Come in." Ariadne's voice came from the other side of the door. Xander pushed the door open and entered, then closed it behind him. "Hi." he said, drawing her attention. She sat on the bed, working on her laptop. "Hi." Ariadne replied, raising her head from the laptop. "How are you?" Xander approached the bed. "Better." "Good... I heard what happened at the hospital." Ariad
It had been two days since Margaret's interview. Xander had removed her from the board of directors and restricted her activities. She made a fuss about it, but he simply ignored her. It was the day Crystal agreed to speak in public about her broken engagement. Her interview aired live on television. "Today we're joined by Miss Crystal Miller." Crystal nodded with a smile as the camera focused on her. "Mr. Blake recently cancelled his engagement with her. We had heard Mrs. Blake's words about this. Everyone wants to know the truth about this decision from Miss Miller." the anchor explained. "So....What's the reason for the cancellation of your engagement with Mr. Blake?" she proceeded directly to the question. Crystal cleared her throat before taking a deep breath. Her expression was one of sadness. "Sometimes giving your all isn't enough. I don't blame anyone. Everyone has the right to do what they want. But sometime they betray the other person while doing so." she st
