“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
BREAKING NEWS on CBS BREAKING NEWS on NBC All the news channels are showing footage of Albert and Alison's disastrous wedding ceremony, and with that, Ripley International's stocks are plummeting. Lucian was closely watching how the stocks fell swiftly. Oblivious that Latton had made it happen, his concern for her grew as it might affect her baby, which may or may not be his. He called John to his office to make an estimated amount of money they could use to help and plan how to assist Ripley International. John frowns, "As much as I love the idea of helping Miss Ripley, her father's company is beyond us. Helping them will sink us too." He explains. Lucian sighed, “There must be something we could do,” he commented. John fidgeted on his seat then lowered his head, “She’s not your responsibility, Lucian. She’s married. Victor will take care of her,” he pointed out. Lucian’s face dimmed in an instant. He knew John was right but still, he wanted to be close to Latton to know what
IN the middle of the reopened murder case. Albert asks Kirby to process his bail as soon as possible. “Am I going to process Miss Gardner’s bail as well?” Kirby asks his boss worriedly. Albert shook his head. “No. Not yet. Once I get out, I will visit her. I don’t think her being released will help my thin-thread relationship with my daughter.” He pointed out. His face expresses despair. “I created a monster,” Albert thought to himself. Kirby discreetly heaves a sigh of relief. “Finally. He is thinking of his family again,” he said to himself. Shortly, Kirby left. Meanwhile, at the York Villa, Latton is busy contacting all the Ripley international stockholders to purchase their stock as she is anticipating that her father, Albert, will be out on bail soon. She’s taking advantage of the plummeting stocks and her father’s absence to finally take over Ripley International. “I might not be a suitable COO or CEO in your eyes, but I will be a worthy owner of the company.” She said t
AFTER almost 48 hours in custody, Albert Ripley got out of prison after paying a hefty amount of money and hastily visited Alison. The prison guard ushered Alison into the visitation room with shackles on her hands and feet. The sound of the metal chains hitting the floor echoed in the room, sending a malevolent clang in Albert's spine. Despite her pitiful state and disheveled appearance, Albert did not feel sorrow towards her. Soon the guard sat her in the chair in front of him with only a thick glass separating them. "You killed Catherine. Why would you do that?" He asks. "I got carried away. I wanted us to be together as soon as possible and when I saw her there lying unconscious with a gun near her. I thought she was already about to do it. Might as well help her." She explains without any remorse. Albert slammed his fist on the glass separating them. "Bullshit! She has already signed the divorce papers. What you did is unjustified." He yelled in rage. She sneered. Clearly, s
MALENA shrieked loudly in shock and it angered Hank. He walks towards him with a knife in his hand and a vicious aura surrounding him. “Shut the fuck up!” He yelled at Malena, who’s lucky to be inside the cage that Hank can’t reach her. He starts waving the knife at her, taunting her that he could open her cage and finish the job anytime. Without glancing back at Latton, he started speaking. “I’m planning to drug you during our planned dinner with your husband. Kill him and bury him in the garden, then surgically remove the child inside you, but since you already saw my gift to you.” He mumbles while gesturing to Malena. “There’s nothing I could do but to cut you open and remove that impurity inside you. Don’t worry, I’ll stitch you back up beautifully.” He said derangedly. While waving the knife against the metal bars of the cage, it sends ominous fear to everyone in the room. Soon he notices something peculiar on the blade. There's no blood on the knife. He slowly turned his he
IN an instant, Hank’s home was littered with police, firefighters, and paramedics, who hastily took Malena to the hospital as her physical and mental state were both fragile. Meanwhile, Lucian, together with Latton drove to the hospital following the ambulance carrying Malena. “I want Malena to have the best care the hospital can provide. I want to ask her a lot of things and her fragile state might not provide me with accurate information.” Latton said while sitting in Lucian’s passenger seat. He nodded, then held her hand and kissed it. His demeanor made her face blush, and she didn’t want the day to end. She felt happy, safe, and calm again. And it scared her, as every time she felt safe, something bad was about to happen. She lowered her head to hide the sudden change in her face, as she didn’t want to ruin the moment. Shortly, he cleared his throat. It instantly jolted her back to her senses and she glanced at him. “So, Hank Devereaux. Who is he and why did he do this?” He
WHEN Lucian and Latton arrive at the hospital, Lucian immediately notices the bruise on her forehead that was invisible earlier. He gasped in surprise when he saw it, “That's a nasty bruise. We need to get you treated. Do you know where you got it? He asks worriedly. She nods, “I hit my head on the metal bar in the basement.” She replied. When she tried to hold her forehead she felt a pain that she never felt before. “My adrenaline rush must be wearing off,” she mumbled to herself. “Why didn’t you tell me before?” He said loudly in a frantic state. “Lucian, chill, it's just a bruise. It is not as if I cracked my skull or something.” She remarks playfully. He heaves deeply, “Why don’t you sit here while I get a nurse or a doctor,” he suggested in a gentle tone. She glanced at him softly. “Sure. I won’t go anywhere…” She smiled mockingly. “DAD!” Both of them start laughing. He held her chin and then whispered. “You have no idea what I’m going to do to you once all of this is done
