WHEN LUCIAN got home, he felt a bit better, letting Latton know why he needed to side with Malena, but it was not enough to make him feel at ease. There was a part of him that still wanted to cling harder, but he knew moving on was the best option to choose. He was thinking of sleeping through his feelings but instead, he moved to the spare room at the end of the hall. As he opened it, Latton’s photos were posted on the walls, on the desktop, and everywhere else. He started removing the photos from the wall and then began deleting all the CCTV footage from the Fleur De Ville unit. Once everything was deleted from his desktop, he gathered all the printed photos and threw them in the trashcan. He opened his drawers and also threw out Latton's old phone. As he rummaged through the drawer to look for anything that would remind him of her, he came across the scarf that she had given him. He hesitantly took it and threw it in the trash but couldn’t seem to remove his glance at the scarf, a
AFTER seeing the footage hidden in Catherine’s phone charger, Latton felt a pit in her stomach and didn’t know what to do. She felt lost and shaken to the core, and didn’t know how to address what she saw. Instead of thinking of a plan to sabotage her father’s wedding, she spent her days locked in her room, and it worried Victor when he saw the untouched food on the trays in front of her room. He knocked numerous times on the door and did not receive any response. When he twisted the door knob, it opened instantly. It’s only 2 in the afternoon, but her room is pitch dark. All the windows and curtains are closed. Victor blindly searches for the light switch and when he turns it on he sees her lying straight on the bed as if she was already dead. Victor sat beside her and started caressing her face, then held her forehead to check if she had a fever, but she was a bit cold to the touch. She soon woke up and gave out a faint smile. Victor frowned, “What’s happening to you? I watched y
ALISON is humming happily in the Ripley manor master’s bedroom while scrolling on her phone. She was elated after Latton failed to remove her from the COO position. She stopped bothering her and Albert. “That bitch finally understood that she could never win against me. Once a loser, always a loser.” She mutters to herself. Soon, the bathroom door opens, and Albert emerges wearing a robe while holding another towel to dry his hair. He saw the gleeful smile on Alison’s face, and he felt happy but concerned that she might have done something to retaliate against Latton. “You seem happier than usual. Anything I need to know?” He asks calmly as he walks to her. She shook her head, “None, I’m excited. We are getting married in two days. I’m going to be officially Mrs. Ripley.” She replied with a smile on her face. “That’s good to hear, darling." He cleared his throat, "I hope you have time to bond with Latton after our union. She needs help with her baby on the way and everything," he
THEY both glance at their phones, and they don't have a signal. Lucian pushed the emergency button in the elevator to respond to the person at the other end of the intercom. "What's the estimated time to get this fixed? There's a pregnant lady trapped in here." He yelled on the intercom. Soon a voice replied, “Sir, we already called the maintenance, and it should be fixed within 20 - 30 minutes.” Latton frowns, "My mother will be looking for me. I can't even message her." She said to herself. Hearing that she sat in the far right corner away from Lucian and heaved deeply. “What are the odds, I just want to get away with him and here I am stuck with him alone in this dimly lit place.” She mumbled to herself while caressing her belly. He glanced at her and then sat on the other side of the lift. The silence made everything awkward. Soon he cleared his throat. She peeked at him, waiting for him to speak, but he did not. Instead, he avoided her gaze. It annoyed her and to cut the dea
LATTON was sitting on the swing. Both of them look like they don’t belong in the park. Albert wore his corporate attire while she wore her blue maternity dress. Still holding her ice cream, she swings herself, “I WANT TO KNOW WHY,” she asks. Albert looked at her in confusion. “Why Alison?” She repeats. “Of all people, why her? Walk me down to your love story. So that it's easier for me to accept this. Tell me how you fell in love.” She exclaims. He frowned and then held onto the swing she was sitting on. “It’s hard to explain. All I can say is we love each other,” he remarks. She smirked, “More than you love me, Derek, Catherine?” She inquired with a sorrowful voice. He did not respond. She sighed in despair, “You don’t need to answer. After your wedding, she’s the only one you’ll have beside you anyway.” She commented. “It’s getting dark, I should get home. My husband might be worried sick, and your soon-to-be wife might be sulking.” He held her hand, “Latton, what I said earl
WHEN Albert arrives home he notices that the maids are coming in and out of Latton’s room with garbage bags in their hands, “What’s happening here?” He asks as he walks to them. None of the maids spoke and only lowered their heads. He soon entered the room and saw Alison there on the balcony smoking a cigar while holding the baseball bat. “Ali, what did you do?” Albert asks in disbelief while looking at Latton’s room. Alison growled, “It is your fault you promised to take me out shopping and yet you didn’t. You chose to be with your brat daughter.” She yelled angrily. Albert scoffed, “Get a hold of yourself. You’re acting like a child again. Latton is my daughter, and she just wants to bond with me before we get married. She already knew and understood that I would no longer have time for her because of you.” He explains with exasperation. She starts sobbing, “I’m sorry. I got carried away. I didn’t mean to.” She said while letting go of the bat. “You know that I hate it when you
“I SAW it in my own eyes that Miss Ripley was sent to the hospital in an ambulance but when I got there to investigate there’s no record that she was ever admitted.” Ricky discreetly explained to Lucian while they were sitting on the park bench. Lucian narrowed his gaze in mystery, “Anything else?” he asked. Ricky shook his head, and with that their meeting ended and Ricky left as discreetly as he arrived. "Latton, what are you hiding?" Lucian asked himself. "Is it possible that the child inside her is older than she's claiming it to be? If that's the case, I may be the father and if my suspicion is correct, then that’s a big reason not to let her go.” Meanwhile, Latton slept the whole day conserving all her energy for the event tomorrow. While lying on the bed she couldn't stop reminiscing about all the bad memories she had with Alison, including the one she did yesterday, “You’ve done too much and have gone too far just to keep my father all to yourself. Well, Alison. Your time
ALISON is still sobbing when Albert enters the master’s bedroom. “Are you okay?” He asks worriedly. She moves her head in disagreement, “That brat is too much. Have you seen her? She’s wearing white.” She remarks. “I just wish she wouldn’t see Thalia,” he said to himself. He sighed, “That’s how she is. She’s tough, strong, and will not let anyone get away with anything.” He explains. His words sounded like a threat to Alison’s ears, so she began wailing again, which irritated Albert. “Did I pamper her too much that she acts like this?” He thought to himself. “Do you still want to get married?” He asks with exasperation. She gasped, “Of course I do.” She shouted. He held her hand, “Then get your makeup done. The ceremony will start in 30 minutes. Our guests have arrived,” he commented. She nods. Meanwhile, Latton and Thalia were on Latton’s room’s balcony sitting comfortably on the red couch that Latton specifically asked the maid Sarah to prepare. Soon, Victor arrives to ac
