LATTON asks Victor to accompany her to the manor. Along the way, she contacted Derek. As soon as the call was answered she bombarded him with questions, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were trapped in Europe and dad is taking over the manor? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?” She shouts over the phone. “Stop yelling, you're hurting my ear,” Derek responded. “I want to tell you, but I can’t reach you. You didn’t give me your new contact number.” He pointed out. She heaves deeply, “That’s not an excuse. You could have called Xavier, Lucius, Victor, or anyone else. Now you have left me again in a conundrum.” She shouts angrily. “I really want to return but…” he paused mid-sentence then held the back of his neck. “I chose not. At first, I was banned from booking a flight now that I can travel back there. I changed my mind.” “What do you mean you changed your mind?” She asks with a frown on her face. “It's not worth it, Latton. The stress, the drama. It's better for you to leave as
LUCIAN was comfortably sitting in his car in a mall parking lot while observing all the happy couples heading in and out of their cars. Visualizing if one day he could experience such simple joy in life. knock! knock! The subtle knocking sound caught Lucian's attention, and he slowly opened the driver-side window. "Boss, you need to see this," Ricky muttered while discreetly handing the photographs to Lucian through the car window. Lucian stared at the photographs and smiled gleefully, "Good work," he muttered while handing Ricky an envelope filled with cash. "Thanks, boss. When do you want me to send the copy to Mrs. York." Ricky asks. Lucian scoffed then frowned. Ricky understood he had said something wrong, and instantly corrected himself, "I mean, send the copy to Miss Ripley." "Send them to her first thing tomorrow morning," he remarked. Ricky nodded and cautiously left. "Latton will surely file for divorce when she sees this." Lucian thought to himself and soon drove aw
AFTER a week of talking to Latton, Lucian never saw her again. She stops visiting Victor and Lucius, and he has no way of contacting her. All he knew was that she stayed at York's villa. “She’s exhausted. Well, I’m exhausted too.” Lucian said to himself while fixating on the images on his computer. “Why won’t she leave him? Is it because they are going to have a child? ” He asked himself while smiling bitterly. "Of course it is." He replied mockingly to himself. He stood up and stared outside the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, “Is it really time for me to let her go? But how can I forget about her, if everything reminds me of her? She’s the only person whom I keep on reaching for even after all the mishaps I’ve been through. I guess I did change, the previous version of me would lock himself up and move on after a while just like what I did when Shirley left. Or simply end it like what I did to Malena. But why can’t I let go of Latton?” Engrossed in thought. He did not notic
SEEING Latton's sorrowful look and tears rolling down her cheeks. Lucian couldn't help but cover his face in dismay and disappointment at himself, but he was too hurt to stop now, and he just wanted to vent all his frustrations as this might be the last time he would see or talk to her. Lucian laughed at himself mockingly, “You said you married him because he was always there. I want to be there for you, but how? Your father beat the living shit out of me. I can't even eat solid food for 5 fucking days.” he shouts. Latton’s brows furrowed in confusion, “What are you talking about?” she asked. Victor then immediately stood up, “He is clearly drunk, Latton, and he is not aware of what he was saying. Let's go.” he said while holding her arm. “But I want to know,” she states. Victor leaned close to her, “I'll send someone to check on that, but not now. Too many people, he has already said too many things that we have to talk about as husband and wife,” he whispered to her ear. She fr
LATTON gasped in surprise when the dark shadow jumped at her fast, but before she could scream the light showed what it was. “YODA!?” She mumbles in awe. “What are you doing here little pup?” She asks the dog in a playful tone. Yoda barked, then ran deep into the garden to the back fence where she could see a small hole in the ground that even a small child could fit. “Is this how to get into the garden?” She mumbled while laughing. Soon she heard a familiar voice, “Yoda!? Yoda, where are you, buddy?” A male voice shouted. “Hank?” She mutters to the figure on the other side of the fence. Hank walked towards the fence and saw her through the gap. “Latton?” “Yes, hi? You live around here?” She asks while watching Yoda digging another hole near the fence. “Yes, I live next door,” he replied while squatting, trying to get Yoda to stop digging. She furrowed her brows, “Really? What a coincidence that we are neighbors.” She remarks. He nods while smiling, “Actually your neighbor is
“PLEASE don’t wait for me. You should move on and forget about me, forget about Latton. Just remember me as Sieve from the tavern, one of your many one-night stands. Because Latton is trapped within the hatred and revenge inside her mind, she’s not worth it, she's beyond saving. She’s on a one-way ticket to destruction, and she doesn’t want to take you with her.” Latton explains in a low voice. “Don’t say that,” Lucian muttered. Tearing up, he covers his mouth to muffle his sobs. “Take care of yourself, Lucian.” She added in a low voice that expressed concern. She soon disconnected the call. “Latton!” He yelled while looking at his phone. He was about to call her back but changed his mind because he knew she wouldn’t pick up. He slowly sits on the couch and covers his forehead. He soon starts laughing, “Why would you want me to forget about you?” He asks himself. Meanwhile, at the York villa, “One down” she says as she throws Lucian’s dossier in the trash. “Tomorrow I’ll talk to
“LUCIAN, I’m happy that you visited us.” Alicia gladly commented while looking at her son. It had been several months since they last spoke and her longing for him had not been a secret. Though, George and Alicia are present during Lucian's stay in the hospital till he recovers. The invisible barrier between them was obvious, and after he fully recovered and took the CEO position, he never spoke to them again. Both George and Alicia tried to reach out to him, but he always ignored them. Both of them are well aware of the reason. Due to this, they postponed their cruise as they didn’t want to leave their son with a grievance between them. Especially now that Shirley is around, they cannot let their son make the same mistake as to be with such a woman. Lucian sighs. "Is Dad also home?" He asks in a gentle tone. Alicia nodded and soon called George to the living room. When all of them are seated, Lucian starts to speak, "I came here to say I'm sorry for being close-minded. For being
[WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS AN UNSETTLING SCENE] LATTON is having difficulty sleeping. Her dreams are haunted by memories of someone she can’t even remember and reality is worse than her nightmares. She wanted to stop the wedding from happening but had no idea how to do it. The lack of sleep didn’t help her condition. She couldn’t come up with a plan to stop or at least defer her father’s union with Alison. “Why can’t he see she’s bad for him, for our family, for our company? Can’t he see it, or does he choose to ignore it?” She asks herself while tossing and turning in her bed. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt her phone vibrate. When she glanced at who it was she was surprised to see it was a message from Vivian inviting her to have lunch. Latton stared at her phone for a while before she agreed to meet her. LUNCH - Imperial Mall Italian Restaurant. Latton entered the crowded restaurant and immediately saw Vivian. “Vivian,” Latton greeted her with a smile on her
