Lillian watched from the window as the plane landed gracefully on the ground. She unbuckled her seat belt, stylishly waiting for Don to leave the plane first and he did as she followed behind him.Well, the plane was a private one which actually belonged to Don making them the only passengers in it.The air hostess brought out their luggage, taking it to one of the cars that was already waiting for them."Go with that car." Don stated simply, heading towards the other car with Draco while Rex stayed behind. Lillian stood rooted to the ground as she etched her eyebrows at him in confusion."Does he really have to prove that he is a jerk?" Lillian muttered glaring at the car that he had just gone with."Couldn't we have just gone with the same car like the other days?" She muttered again, still glaring at the route the car had taken."Can we go now, ma'am?" Rex asked carefully enough not to sound rude.Lillian turned to him in a soft sigh as she began to stare around."Rex?" She called
Don opened his eyes slowly, squinting it back almost immediately. The rays of sunlight shone brightly into the room.He protected his eyes with his left hand as he turned to see who opened it. He scoffed after seeing a smiling Lillian by the window."Oops, sorry for waking you up." She said a bit scared at his facial expression."I was just trying to have a nicer view of the outside, I....." She tried explaining but was cut short."Just quit talking." He groaned out as he sat up."What are you doing here? I thought you slept in the living room." He said again, glaring harshly at her like she had committed a grieve crime."Like I told you earlier, I just wanted to have a view of the outside." She replied, forming a thin line on her lips out of nervousness. He scoffed out again and took his gaze away from her.He stood up groaning slightly as he headed towards the wardrobe. Lillian's gaze followed him simultaneously biting softly on her lower lip.He searched fruitlessly for something t
"I came to pick something." She replied with all the courage she could muster as she tried not to stutter."From my phone?" He asked stepping out of the restroom completely.She lowered her gaze quietly to the floor to avoid seeing his harsh glares on her."Well, I heard a buzz and I decided to check if it was from someone important." She said hoping to sound convincing enough.She closed her eyes tight in fear when he began taking strides towards her. He stopped right in front of her and picked up his phone from the bed.She partially opened her eyes when she felt nothing before opening it fully in a long sigh of relief as he left without a word.He walked to the wardrobe, picking out another shirt to wear.Lillian finally raised her head up when she heard nothing from him again. She stared at his back view, by this time he had worn the shirt as he fastened the botton."Mind if I come with you?" She suddenly asked out of the blues. He didn't reply as he finished fastening his botton
*AMERICA*"We'd like to see your boss." Bella said standing with arms akimbo at the entrance. She was gazing sternly at the men in front of her with her head tilted to her side."Did you book an appointment?" One of the men asked not yielding. Bella glanced at Drake and they both exchanged a small smile."Yeah but he keeps declining them." She replied still with the dangerous smile."Then you'll have to leave now for he doesn't wish to see you." The same guard said."But I wish to........ No, sorry, we want to see him." She said demonstrating slightly with her finger as she referred to the boys standing behind her."Well, my boss doesn't want to, so I guess you'd have to leave." The second man said more fiercely."Why, if I may ask? Is he probably scared?" Bella asked sarcastically in a chuckle."You'd better leave now before we make you do so in a way that you and your puppets here would regret." The first guard threatened taking a step forward."Call your boss and
She stared at him like he had gone totally insane."Why are you laughing?" She asked slowly as the smirk disappeared from her face."I'm laughing at your stupidity." Nicolas spat to her face and she hummed."Really?" She asked lowly."Your guts to have come into my office to harm me and you think you would go scot free." He replied and she stood to her feet."I didn't come with the aim to hurt you but I might if you don't do as I say." She said, backing him."You'll have that chance only if you and your gang are able to leave here safely." Nicolas said with a slight smirk forming on his lips. He tried to tap on the red botton below the couch but Bella was quick enough to kick his hand off as she dragged him up and made him sit, forcefully though.It made him groan out loud again and this time, with him holding unto the hand which was kicked."Just sign the damn paper." Bella said now frowning as she stretched forth the file to him once again. Nicolas let out a long sigh of despair an
The morning sun shone brightly like it never rained all through the night. Its rays penetrated into the car and into the eyes of one of the occupants.Lillian placed her hand around her eyes, preventing the sunshine from penetrating further. She rubbed her eyes before she managed to sit up."It's morning already." She mumbled still rubbing her eyes in a small yawn. She turned to the other side and she met with Don's peaceful face. He was still sleeping and it made him looked calm at the moment unlike the Don she knew who always had a cold expression on.She turned completely to face him as she admired him. She stared from his eyes which were still closed, down to his lips and she smiled."He is handsome like his sister claimed." She muttered in a nod and clicked her tongue.His eyes snapped open and she shifted backwards immediately. He sat up instantly like he was being chased from a nightmare. "Good morning." She said but he didn't reply.He stared out the window and brushed thro
"Get a bottle of wine and glass cups for two." Nicolas said to his secretary on the phone before dropping it back on the ace plate.He took his gaze back to the guests he had in his office as he tried not to reveal too much of his nervousness."Thank you for honoring my invitation." He said in a nervous smile."I didn't honor it just because I wanted to, the offer looked quite tempting, you know." Brandon stated in a smirk."But still, I appreciate." Nicolas said nodding slightly."Anyways, down to the main business." Brandon said as he rested back on the seat with legs crossed against each other."Yeah,,,,," Nicolas breathed out nervously and paused for a while.A knock came on the door and he took his gaze to it. "Come in." He voiced out. It opened and the secretary came in with a tray which contained a bottle of wine and two glass cups.She dropped it on her boss's desk and poured some of the wine into the glass cups. She bowed slightly to her boss before walking out of the offic
She paused the video immediately with her right hand. Her breaths were becoming heavy as she rested weakly on the rails. "No, it can't be." She muttered and shook her head. She resumed the video again and what she saw made her scream out loud together with the screams from her phone. By this time, the wind has already become too chilly for her to stay. "Fred can't do this, he can't." She mumbled again to herself, this time with her voice quivering more than before. She paused the video, unable to take in the tension that was adjoining. She shook her head once again as if trying not to believe what she saw. She dialed the number the video was from and tried to call it but it was unable to connect. She tried it out the second time and the same thing occurred. "Shit!" She muttered hitting hard on the rails. She hissed out lightly in pain when she wrung her hand in the process. She stared at the screen of her phone emptily like she was still unsure of what she saw. But something
The two siblings paced to and fro in the waiting room. Their expression held nothing but anxiety as they prayed silently in their hearts for everything to go well.Lillian's mother wasn't excluded. She was called to the hospital immediately Bella and her brother, Don, suspected that Lillian was in labor. Luckily, Mrs. Blake was around the area at that time, so she followed them to the hospital.It had been over an hour since Lillian was taken into the delivery room, and there's been no news from the doctors in charge.This continued for a few minutes until they all sighted the doctor heading their way, and they rushed to him immediately.“Congratulations. She has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.” The doctor voiced out immediately with a light smile.Their once worried look brightened instantly with smiles lingering on their lips.Finally, Bella spoke out with so much enthusiasm, “Can we see them now?”“Of course, you can see them. Come with me.”They all followed the doctor to Lill
“Ughh, how tasteless can this be?” Lillian chimed in a loud voice that caught everyone's attention.All eyes were shot at her, with only Bella's having the courage to remain on her, unlike the maids who immediately continued what they were doing.Bella's gaze instantly raised a question when she glanced up from her phone.“These are no fun to take! It's really tasteless.” Lillian continued to whine and this time, she tossed the berry in her hand back to the rest in the tray.“Do you want us to get you another fruits?” One of the maids stood in an upright position and asked.They were all new maids. After what happened to Aurora, the maid who committed suicide and Mara, Don replaced the maids and, this time, with a much stricter rule. Lillian shook her head, thereby urging the maid to go back to her previous duty.This was mostly all what Lillian does to the food and even fruits she eats since she became pregnant. It was either disgusting or tasteless like earlier. Things even got wo
Bella got a hint of the situation immediately her mood changed, and no words came from her. She heaved a sigh but didn't say a word either.Just then, the door opened, revealing Don. He walked a few steps into the room and paused to stare at Lillian.The family shot him a glance, then back at Lillian. They also got a hint of the situation and guessed they obviously needed some privacy together.“Now that your husband is here, we'll leave you two to talk.” Mrs. Blake said and glanced at the others, and they all nodded.They left the ward as agreed, but that didn't change the aura in the ward. Don and Lillian still maintained their silence as different thoughts ran through their heads.But there was something strange about Don's demeanor. His expression wasn't unreadable as it used to be. This time, she could bet she was able to read some emotions out from his facial expression.One of them was anger, but who was he angry at? Lillian shivered at the thought of him getting angry at the f
A devilish smile didn't fail to crawl to his face as he attempted to pull the trigger, but all of a sudden, all the armed men in the place pointed their guns towards him, shocking everyone except Don and his personal guards.“You should also get one thing straight, no one escapes my wrath when they look for it.” Don finally voiced out with a dangerous smirk.Rex and Draco were also freed, and they joined the multitude of boys to pointing guns at Pablo. Pablo, whose face was now filled with confusion and shock, gently dropped his hand by his side.“Do you really think that you were the only one with the plans here?” Don's mind flashed back to how he replaced the men that were meant to support Pablo with his.It wasn't an easy thing to do but it was still worth it, especially since it had to with getting Pablo away from Lillian's life forever."What is happening now?" Pablo glanced around him, his mind trying not to accept that he was already outsmarted.This wasn't what he had planned.
Don tucked his gun into his pants as he glared at the men on the ground, some were unconscious while a few were groaning in extreme pain. He didn't waste any more seconds before he left the area.Pablo was actually more prepared, considering the number of guards he had secretly placed in the building. Fortunately, Don and his personal guards were well-trained enough to take them all down. Although, they wouldn't stop trooping into the building, more like they already knew of the intruders.As Don ran up the stairs, he was more vigilant than ever. The occurrence from earlier should never happen again, especially since he had only a limited time.Yes! He was already informed by Sir. Jeffrey about the short time they had to rescue Lillian. He would rather not waste a second out of it even though, three minutes had passed already.He halted when he got to a hallway leading to different rooms. Opening one of the rooms, he concluded he wouldn't be able to make it if he searched through them
Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.“I don't mind, as long as you go down first. And don't think you're doing us a favor here because you're one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn't leave Bella's face as she spat out her anger.“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.Even though Bella's anger k
“Boss, as we speak, they're after me and......” Mara glanced at the men running after her and she mumbled, “F*ck!”They were so close to her that in a few seconds they could catch up with her. F*ck herself for making the injuries on her look so real. Now, she couldn't even run properly with all the injuries she inflicted on herself.The men, who happened to be Don's guards, split into two groups as one group out took Mara and blocked her from running further.Figuring there was no other way out as the guards already circled her with their guns pointing directly at her, Mara halted and without a second warning, threw her phone into the nearby river.All the guards were shocked, realizing what she just did, but none of them bulged to retrieve the phone. As long as they caught Mara first, they're sure to get all the information they wanted, including the reason she shot Eva.“Hello? Mara!” The line had already disconnected, but Pablo didn't realize it until there was no more sound from th
“I want to get rid of that so-called wife of his, I don't think I can stand her even though we're just knowing each other. That b**ch is beginning to step on my toes.” “She has a name.”“Do I look like I f**king care? Whatever name she goes by, whether Lillian Blake or Killian Black, I just want one thing, and that is to get rid of her while she is still new.”“So?”“So, I want you to do something, and it's slightly simple, though dangerous.”“Danger is literally my other name, but first, what do I get in return?”“Whatever you ask for. Hold on…. What are you staring at? You want my body?”“You got it, babe.”“Just do what I want, and you'll have all you ask for.” The recording paused and that was Eva lifted her head, her mouth, and eyes wide open in shock. She glanced at the person whom she would rather die than have to listen to the recording at the moment and felt her life was over.Listening to the conversation she had with Klaus some months back made her whole world crumble. Ju
“We searched the CCTV footage for the supposed area and, as expected, it's been altered. It only showed the part where the Lady and maid stepped out to check the unconscious guards in another car, the rest of what took place wasn't found.” “It was also known that the security guards there were all unconscious at the said time, which means….”“Which means that this person really knows what he is doing. But who could he be? Or could it be......” Bella cut Draco short as her mind drifted to Mark, but strangely, she doubted if he had such authority or resources.“I doubt if he was. Even if he was behind it, I believe he had back up, someone with a similar goal compared to his.” Don also thought of Mark, but being in this game for long, he understood that not just anyone had the power to pull such strings.Nobody said anything for a while, and this gave Draco the opportunity to speak again.“We've sent messages across to all of our connections in the country, but there hasn't been news ye
