What should Declan do?
“That was awesome!” Declan’s friend shouted after a long pause from everyone. Even Declan was awed into silence by his wife’s performance. While on stage, Selene quickly transformed into a rowdy teenager who would do anything to have her way. She was so convincing that they all felt drawn into her world, unable to exit, even though she transformed smoothly back to reality. Selene called out to them gently before they realized they were silent for too long. The claps soon followed, and the director couldn’t even see anything to hold against her. Selene already bagged the role of the female lead, and nothing anyone said could change that. “Well done, Bella. But... Something baffles me, though. Did you have access to the script before now?” She wanted to put forward that she only performed so well because Declan allowed her access to the whole script beforehand. “Yes, I did.” Selene responded in a crisp voice, shocking all of them, including her husband. He never spoke abo
~~~ Gory scene ahead ~~~ “Algún último deseo? (Any last wishes?)” Rafaela was seated in her specially designed chair in the meeting ground of the Diaz Cartel. She was so aloof that the people sprawled on the floor before her wished for nothing more than to tear that expressionless face to shreds. As soon as she returned from Bloomsbay, she set a lot of traps to capture the traitors in the act. Betrayal was greatly frowned upon by the members of the Diaz Cartel. They forged their bond through a lot of battles and bloodshed, but they still emerged strong. They never got themselves involved in the shady deals of the other cartels. Rafaela ensured that no one in the cartel ever got involved in any deals apart from the drugs and ammunition that they sold for ages. No human trafficking or illegal organ harvesting was allowed. She even took steps to end the drug-trafficking wing of the cartel. However, since her sickness kicked in, she never had the time to think about any such activiti
[Pa!] [Pa!!] [Pa!!!] Several bullets were fired into various scattered positions in the building, and the occupants were terrified. Man after man fell. Startling the other guards on duty. Some were even speaking about random things, but before they realized it, one or both of them were already on the floor. Blood spilled everywhere, and bodies were equally scattered in all directions. However, the intruders were just getting started. They came for someone’s head, and they wouldn’t leave until they had it. Some buildings in the compound were already set on fire, and the occupants could be seen running helter-skelter. Nothing was done to indicate that the people came to capture anyone, and it was clear from their actions that they came for a certain person’s head. Amid the sudden attack, a woman who looked to be in her early fifties lay naked on her luxurious bed. A man of about twenty-five years, young enough to be her son, was crazily plummeting into her core. He was so de
[Knock!][Knock!!][Knock!!!] “Coming…” Lulu shouted from the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door. She only returned briefly from the tour and had three days before she hit the road with the songbird once more. They were not supposed to return until the following month, but certain situations beyond their control compelled them to return briefly and change their course of action. She rushed toward the door, spatula in hand, as she wondered whether her mother was expecting anyone so early in the morning. “Hello, who…” Lulu paused in shock, the rest of her words unable to come out of her lips. She was shocked to see him, and she couldn’t stop herself from wondering if he was stalking her or something. She returned late in the night the previous day and was certain that no one saw her, so how could he be here? “Boss Vicker,” She greeted him awkwardly, her hands still tightly held onto the door as she stood in the doorway, not opening it wide enough for him to step in. “Can
“Who are you?” Phyna screamed when she opened her door and realized that someone else was in the house, even before she got home. What’s more, she wasn’t expecting anyone. Instead of turning around and screaming for help or even calling the police, she reckoned that there was no need to attract undue attention to herself. She didn’t even believe anyone could hurt her anyway. She took a few steps into the room, intending to strain her neck just a little bit and take a look inside. After all, it could even be someone who was playing a prank on her. She experienced a lot of pranks throughout her career. If there was any sign of danger, she could always run. However, the uninvited guest suddenly grabbed her in a chokehold and remained in the same position till she began to lose her breath. “If you dare hurt me, you won’t get away with it. You…” She mumbled with the best voice she could muster, but before she could continue dishing out empty threats, he released her and roughly shoved
“Hello,” Selene said calmly before sitting across from Celeste. “Hello, Selene. Good to see you.” Celeste sat with both hands on the table, admiring the woman her daughter had grown to become. As she scrutinized her, she suddenly noticed that there was no ring on her finger, but a diamond necklace hung loosely on her neck. Celeste's smile was so bright that Selene felt uncomfortable under her gaze. She knew what her mother was looking at but didn’t know any conversation she could start about her ring. “Nice ring you have there,” Celeste remarked in admiration. She was happy that her daughter’s husband put a lot of thought into picking her ring. “Thank you.” Selene finally had a smile on her face when she responded. Selene unconsciously looked behind Celeste, only to find Tara walking toward them. She was so elated that Selene felt there was something different about her; Tara never liked Celeste and didn’t attempt to hide it. So, for her to walk towards them with such enthusiasm
“Boss Vicker, thank you for everything you’ve done for my family. Words cannot describe how grateful I am right now. You…” Lulu earlier agreed to have dinner with Boss Vicker in one of the fancy restaurants in town. However, as soon as she arrived, all she did was thank him again and again for everything he did for her family. He realized he wouldn’t get a proper talk with her if he didn't stop her in time. “You look so beautiful, Lulu. Seeing you go on and on about your family just makes me love you more and more. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'll be a complete man if you agree to marry me, Lulu. I know you’ve not had it easy for a long time, but I wouldn’t bother to continue caring for you and your family. " "You have already done enough, boss. I don't even have anything to offer you." Lulu reasoned in a low voice. "I already have everything I need. I also know you will afford the life you deserve soon enough because you are Mask Girl. But I want to be
“How is this possible!” Selene burst out in shock. She didn’t expect to see this so soon. It was only a few hours ago that she was with her mothers, only for the bloggers to quickly carry news that she was begging Celeste for a feature. She was certain that someone was tailing them, and they even went as far as exposing her relationship with Tara Anderson. She was certain that someone was paid to start another drama around her.Declan rushed into the room and asked in an urgent tone, “Bunny, are you okay?” He approached her steadily, wondering what could be the issue. Selene gave her phone to him and said, “Everyone says I got everything with connections. It feels so terrible when your hard work is downplayed in this manner, Daddy.”Her husband captured her into his arms and coaxed her gently. She was already trying to sleep when the news popped up. After Declan put her to sleep, he furiously dialled Racco’s number, “What the fu*k is your problem, Racco? Do I pay you to tell me you’
“This would look good on you, Selene. After all, you always look good in anything.” Lulu chimed in, waving Gilbert, who held her little one in his hand. “He’s playing the part of an uncle well enough.” Chloe commented, watching Gilbert from afar.“Yeah! We trust him. Even Vicker feels it’s okay to leave the little one with him. I’m so glad to have him around, you know. He makes everything so easy in the company. He’s even my number one spy. “All the girls entered the desiganted suite, and Selene suddenly mocked Lulu, “Oh, he’s no longer Boss Vicker, huh? I guess someone is truly in love…” The girls all burst out in a hearty laugh, but Chloe had a comeback for Selene. “Well, I guess you prefer to hear her call him daddy. I don’t blame you, after all, you’re daddy’s girl.”At those words, a pillow came flying toward Chloe, before Selene feigned an apologetic look. “Oh, your excellency, I’m so sorry the pillow found your chest. It should have met your head, silly!” Selene jumped onto
“I know the presidency of Bloomsbay is hereditary, you sucker. You need a wife to claim that seat. Was that why you wanted to marry me so badly? What? I am so naive that I fit the perfect role of first lady, huh?” Chloe plopped onto a seat in the garden, bawling her eyes out. She couldn’t believe she played into the hands of Nathan like a fool. “Aunt Celeste, please come and pick me. I want to go home.” Chloe cried into her phone, her finges shaking. On the other side, Celeste didn’t ask too many questions, but only required her to turn on her location. About thirty minutes later, she was in front of the president’s residence, wondering what Chloe was doing there.“Madam, welcome.” A guard welcomed Celeste as if she had been to the place several times. No one stopped her along the way, but rather bowed to her as she passed them by. “There you are, Chloe. Who bulllied you? Tell me.” Celeste hugged the young lady tightly, patting her back so many times. “I also wish to know, Ms Graha
“Selene, I’m exhausted. It’s not fun anymore.” Chloe cried into the receiver, as she spotted a mountain of files on her desk. She had the chance to live peacefully when her uncle was alive. However, upon the sudden demise of Garrett Graham, Paddy literally dragged Chloe to manage the Graham family’s chain of businesses. Chloe had to grow up so fast that she rarely had time to meest her best friend. It was so ironical that Declan’s daughter had to manage the Grayson group, and Celeste had absolutely nothing to complain about. If Magdalene heard the news, all the screws in her head would finally go loose. “Quit complaining, Chloe. At least you still have grandpa to assist you. You know my dad is still recovering from stroke, and mom is always with him. I have to manage two group of companies. Do you dare to combine that with being a mother of two naughty brats?”Selene’s words caused Chloe to burst out in a peal of laughter, and Selene could only follow suit. It became a norm for the t
“My dear mother, I hope you’re happy now. I present to you, the ashes of your eldest son, his wife, and his three children. I hope you feel better when you bathe yourself in their ashes.” Celeste’s blood was boiling in rage, as she placed the vases containing the ashes of all the people she mentioned in front of her mother. One after the other, ash after ash was presented to Magdalene, and she only sat there, looking listless. It was as if the words being spoken was to someone else, and not her.A few days ago, Paddy Grayson decided to make his will known to his children. Despite Declan being many billions richer than the Graysons, Paddy still left something for him. It was this singular act that caused Magdalene to force her eldest son and his family back home. Magdalene shouldn’t have know about the will, but she eavesdropped on the lawyer and Paddy while they were going through the will in Paddy’s study room. No one knew she was there, but Magdalene decided to stop the will from
[Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!] Miranda rushed to the door, thinking it was the delivery guy who was bringing in the beef stew, vegetable rice, and pizza that she ordered earlier. Well, the food was there as expected, but it wasn't the delivery guy she expected. “You…” Miranda knew she couldn't bang the door in his face, so she could only play along. “How much for the food?” She asked as if she didn't know the person before her. “How long before you tell me about my child?” Leonardo asked sharply, causing Miranda to take a step back. Her right hand was protectively on her flat belly. “Wh… What are you talking about? The baby is not yours.” “Oh, so you agree you're pregnant, huh? Everything matches the last time we fu*ked in this room. So, tell me, who else would be the father if not me?” Leonardo noticed the minute change in Miranda's demeanor as soon as he spoke about them fu*king not long ago. He had a feeling that she missed his touch as much as he missed hers. “Fine! I want my
“How's she?” Declan asked, as soon as they arrived in front of the ward. He needed to hear everything from the horse’s own mouth, and Leonardo was already waiting when they arrived. Celeste was equally scared of what report the doctor might give, but she held her tongue and allowed the young doctor to respond to her brother’s question. It was the same thing on her mind, anyway. “Call down, Dec. She's fine. As a matter of fact, the ecstasy kicked in at first, but we sorted everything out. No need to worry too much.” Leonardo beamed with a contagious smile, confusing the tense siblings standing in front of him. “Leonardo…” Declan called out in a threatening tone, alerting his friend that he was in no mood for jokes. “Yo, man, take a chill pill. I said your little wife is doing just fine. As a matter of fact, Selene is doing great.” Leonardo cleared his throat and continued. “I finally figured out the antidote for the ecstasy. You don't need to know what it is, but be rest assured t
“What the heck! Bella’s in trouble.” One intern screamed at the top of her lungs when she chanced upon the live video. She was so scared that she didn’t filter her words. “Everyone check the gossip monger’s tiktok page. Somebody call the police…” The intern who was live on tik tok had the account name, “Gossip Monger” Her colleagues always teased her for choosing such a tacky name, but they all enjoyed her content all the same. ***“Declan, I’ve been a terrible person to you. For the longest time, I thought you were my enemy, but I guess I was blind all along.” Celeste spoke calmly, letting out a deep sigh. She didn’t seem to be in any form of discomfort as she spoke, and Declan could tell that the person sitted before him was a changed person. Meanwhile, he remained silent, watching her as if he wasn’t interested in her words. In actual fact, he already forgave Celeste, when he listened to the discussion she had with her mother a while back. A woman who could do what Magdalene di
“So, boss Miranda, what you’re saying is that there is going to be a big scoop, right?” One intern from Phoenix Age Entertainment asked Miranda. She was so engrossed in everything Miranda was telling them that she didn’t even realize she was asking too many questions-even the ones she shouldn’t ask. Miranda was particularly chatty today, which was a first.“Mmhmm!” Miranda nodded in assent. The young lady’s colleague added enviously, “The boss has such a beautiful love story. I wonder what gave those three people the courage to challenge Bella Grey. Now, they’re paying for it in a cold cell somewhere. Tsk!” Miranda liked where the conversation was going, and how the interns were suddenly so relaxed around her. She always acted professionally around them, hence, the poor souls were always on edge. Now, she needed them as relaxed as possible. Now that the boss’ assistant invited them to have a chance of a lifetime meeting in a hotel, the two couldn’t say no. They didn’t even expect th
Selene woke up with a silly smile on her lips. Her naughtiness at play once again. The previous night, Declan didn't punish her enough, as he felt that she needed to rest. She had a packed schedule, and he had no plans of interfering with it by fucking her till she couldn't move anymore. On Selene's side, she needed him to claim her body as fiercely as he could, since she was suddenly too horny to be ignored. “Last night, you wanted me to sleep, so you starved me. If you don't feed me now, I might just go out in search of…” She thought Declan was sleeping, hence she chose to tease him till she woke up. However, as soon as her hand got to his hard dick, he flung his eyes open, startling her. “You were saying?” Declan asked in a gruff voice, catching Selene off-guard. “No. No. Nothing. I was just spewing nonsense. I didn't…” “Well, be careful what you wish for, young lady. You need to clear your schedule for the day, because I am going to punish you enough to keep you in this bed
