Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Wedding Day Bombshell
The hall was abuzz with joy and anticipation as Darien and Aysel stood hand in hand on the podium, gazing into each other's eyes. The guests smiled, their eyes brimming with joy.Tonight was going to be a blast of celebration as the two would be joined to be one.Looking at the front seats by the left were Mr. Ethan and his wife sitting by his side. On the next seats beside them were Mr. Hemsworth with his wife, Margaret. And behind them was aunt Clara.Their gazes were fixed on the podium, anticipating what would happen next as their children were ready to tie the knot.Darien and Aysel stood on the podium, hands clasped together, their love shining brighter than the sun.Darien, on the flip side, was only pretending to be happy, but he wasn't truly happy as he appeared. Even though he was going to wed Aysel tonight, he couldn't stop thinking about Jeri and the hurtful words he told her a few weeks ago.However, he wasn't only sad because he didn't marry Jeri as he planned from the b
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Aysel's Secrets Revealed
Just then, a video clip of Aysel dressed half naked appeared on the projector screen, along with some information revealing her status as a former sex worker at the Delham brothel. Immediately the crowd saw what was displayed on the screen, they began to murmur, casting skeptical brows on Aysel, causing her to look like she had lost her last hope, her shoulders slumped in defeat. Aysel couldn't believe her eyes. She had no idea someone was spying on her to ruin her life by exploiting her past, even though she had stopped doing it. How did she get these details? She was told by Clara that the Delham brothel team had deleted all of her information, but she could not figure out how the lady had obtained the details of her being a sex worker there. Does this imply that Clara is planning something else without her knowledge? If Clara did not assign the lady to do this, who did? Her mind raced with questions as she appeared to be drowning in a sea of grief, her eyes pleading for help
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Secrets And Lies
Aysel, who had been crying uncontrollably since the lady publicly exposed her, suddenly paused and lifted her head. Her face crumpled, her eyes wide with shock and despair. She immediately spun around and looked up at the lady, considering what she had said. Her head spun around once more, glancing at the bewildered Darien standing just inches from her. The air was heavy with the weight of the revelation and the atmosphere was one of disbelief. Once a happy occasion, the ceremony quickly descended into complete chaos and confusion. “Who are you exactly?” Drawing his brows together, Darien asked in a raspy voice. He moved forward a few steps, filling in the small gap between himself and the woman, who had a sly expression on her face. She chuckled and took a step forward, her gaze locked on Darien's, with no fear in her eyes. “My name is Anna George. To reveal the truth at the appropriate moment, I have been working nonstop behind closed doors. And Darien, I think this is the ide
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Mask Falls Off
"Good," Anna giggled and went on. “ Margaret intended to snatch her best friend's husband. She intended, after all, to use Aysel's assistance to drive Mrs. Lucinda out of Mr. Ethan's home so that she could wed him after their divorce.” “Wait! What?" Darien muttered, shocked by the revelation. The crowd, on the flip side, gasped and stared at Clara with skepticism as soon as Anna's words left her mouth and rang in their ears. Clara never expected this, and right then her cheeks flushed with shame. She never, in her wildest dreams imagined that one day, someone she employed to assist her in carrying out her evil plans would turn against her. Mrs. Lucinda, who had been weeping since the lady began revealing her secrets suddenly stopped, raised her head as soon as she heard that. Her mind raced with questions, as she stood up and stared at Clara, whose gaze had lowered to the ground. However, since Margaret and Aysel were already aware of Clara's plan, they were not taken aback
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Consequences Of Deceit And Betrayal
“Of course, Mr. Ethan. That was one of the reasons your father opposed the union, but you refused to listen to him. She was not just a sex worker; she became pregnant for another man just a few months after you two split up. Can't you see the disgrace she had brought upon you today? Tell me, Mr. Ethan. What could be more embarrassing than what happened on this occasion…?” “Enough!” Darien roared as he descended the podium.“ I will not tolerate you insulting my mother in my presence. Even if she did all of those things, they happened in the past. You dare not bring her past into the present.” "Don't be fooled, Darien. Her past is already haunting her. Whether I say it now or not, someone will eventually reveal it. The fact is that she did all of these things, and nothing, not even rain, can wash them away.” “I have always known that you are not a good woman, but I keep it to myself, waiting for the day your true identity will be exposed. At last, the time is here.” Darien spoke

Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Showdown Begins
3 years later...“Mr. Adrian, I'm calling to inform you that the new project is formally declared a failure. I'm sorry,” a masculine voice echoed from the phone as Adrian sat on his executive office chair, his legs resting on the office table.The young man whose voice echoed from the phone was part of an industry association responsible for funding every business project in the Tylian city. “What are you talking about, Mr. Justin?” Adrian suddenly took his legs off the office table and dropped them to the ground, and quickly stood up, his brows drawn together." Haven't we discussed this project and the day it would be released to the market? Why now?" "Well, our team has investigated, and it turns out that your company is developing a similar product to Triple-D company.” Mr. Justin explained."How is that possible?" “I don't know, Mr. Adrian. Perhaps your data and formula were leaked. If not that, then I can't tell how it happened.”“Mr. Justin, we all know that the Triple-D comp

However, since Darien and Adrian were both successful businessmen, they took their places among other CEOs as well. Each person in the hall wore a suit that spoke of wealth.Just then, a chubby woman stood up from her seat with a file in her hand and walked up to where the microphone was positioned.Immediately she cleared her throat, ready to speak, the murmu

Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Love Conquers All (THE END)
"Well,” Maya said, " if you think that's the best thing to do, then go ahead and do so since the whole thing centered on her.”With newfound determination, Darien left for Jeri's mansion after a long discussion with Maya.Perhaps the truth would change everything. Who knows?Darien arrived at Jeri's mansion a few minutes later, his heart pounding. One of the gatekeepers led Darien to the garden where Jeri was having fun with her son. "Jeri," Darien said, his voice barely above a whisper.Upon hearing her name, Jeri swiftly turned, her eyes narrowing. She was taken aback when her eyes fell on Darien."What is it, Darien?" Jeri asked, her brows furrowed.Darien stood dumbfounded as though he didn't hear her. Unfortunately, his attention was carried away by the little child who was busy playing with a ball.When Jeri noticed that, she became uncomfortable so she decided to ask her child to go into the house and he did.Dawson ran past Darien without greeting him. Probably because he did
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Jeri's Life on the Line
Ever since Darien got the text, he became restless to the point of refusing to eat his dinner.He was eager to meet this unknown person to know who the person is and what the person wants.When it was almost midnight, Darien took with him three guards and exited the mansion without telling his father or grandfather.Within a few minutes of driving in the almost empty road, he arrived at the old warehouse, his heart racing with anticipation and fear. The text had been cryptic, but the threat to Jeri's life was clear.Since he was asked to come alone, he asked his guards to wait for him from a far distance from the old warehouse.As Darien stepped out of the shadows, a figure emerged, causing him to flinch in fear."Who are you?" Darien demanded out of fear.The figure revealed a woman with piercing green eyes and raven-black hair."I'm Maya," she said. "I've been tracking Adrian's operations for months.""Huh?” Darien's eyes narrowed."What do you want?"Instead of responding to his que
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Forgiveness and Fear
Darien began to pace around in the garden, wondering what to do. It was as if his head were going to explode for trying so hard to figure out what to do next.“I need to act fast. I can't sit back and watch them hurt Jeri. Not now," Darien said to himself with determination.At last, he retreated to the living room after giving it much thought.As he re-entered the mansion, he heard his grandfather speaking."Jeri, dear," Dr. Williams said, his voice soft, "I know my family has wronged you. But Darien has changed. He's trying to make amends. And as his grandfather, I will beg you on his behalf to please forgive him even though he deserves to face the consequences of his actions. He was still a kid that time when it happened and probably his father was afraid to lose his son that was why they kept it hidden. Please have mercy on them, Jeri."As Dr. Williams' words pierced into her ears Jeri's gaze wavered. Her plan was to get Darien and his father arrested, and not to forgive them. Now
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Darien's Dilemma
The mansion felt empty, the tension filled the air with Mrs. Lucinda's departure. Jeri's emotions swirled, relief and sadness mixed.As they exchanged glances, Sophia broke the silence. "It's time to start healing.""And seeking justice.” Freya chuckled.Just then, Darien approached Jeri, his eyes sincere, as he was eager to seek her forgiveness."Jeri," he began,“ I know I can never undo the harm I've caused. If only you could forgive me, I would be the happiest man on earth presently. Not only that, I would be able to help you as well.""Help me?” Jeri's gaze hardened, her voice icy. “ You're the reason I've suffered. In fact, I'm still suffering because without my mother, I'm just like an orphan.""I know,” said Darien as he took a step closer, his gaze full of regret. “But I'm willing to make amends. Let me help you fight those who've wronged you.""You think you can just waltz in and fix everything?” Jeri scoffed. " My mother's dead because of you."Darien's face contorted in ang
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Price of Secrets
"Huh?” Jeri gasped, her eyes narrowed as she tried to digest the whole thing."So you were the one who ruined my life from day one?" Jeri's eyes blazed as she spoke to Darien. Jeri glared at Darien as if she should strangle him to death. He killed her mother. As if that weren't enough he ruined her life by impregnating her."Jeri, I…" Darien continued, but Jeri cut him off."Shut up! You have no right to speak," Jeri spat, her voice venomous.The tears she had been suppressing for a long time finally escaped her eyes, and streamed down her cheeks.She came to seek justice for her dead mother and also to expose Mrs. Lucinda's sinister plans and now this. Jeri's world crumbled right before her as she was still finding it challenging to believe Freya's words.Upon seeing how heartbroken Jeri was, Sophia stepped forward, placing a gentle hand on Jeri's shoulder as she attempted to comfort her."Jeri, let's think this through," said Sophia as she gently rubbed Jeri's shoulder with her thu
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths A Night of Shame, A Lifetime of Consequences
Darien's face paled, his eyes filling with a mix of shock and guilt. At last, Freya exposed the secret they have been hiding for decades.Mr. Ethan's eyes widened in astonishment, wondering what Jeri was talking about. He wasn't aware that the woman his son stabbed to death in his office was Jeri's mother.“What…what are you talking about, Jeri?” Mr. Ethan inquired, his gaze shifting from his son to Jeri. "Oh please, don't pretend as if you can't recall how your son murdered my mother in your office many years ago,” she growled in response, her fist tightened.Just after Jeri said that, it dawned on him that the woman was indeed Jeri's mother who had no one to look for her after her death.Mr. Ethan averted his gaze away from Jeri to Darien. He couldn't believe his ears. Never has he for once thought that this thing will come up in the future. Mrs. Lucinda, on the flip side, couldn't say anything, rather she froze in place staring at everyone with skeptical brows. She was just imagi
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Sins of the Parents
“What?" Darien gasped, his eyes shifting from the old man to his father. “ What did I just hear you call him, father?" “You heard him well, Darien," Dr. Williams cut in, causing Darien to avert his gaze away from his father to Dr. Williams.“Dr. Williams,” Darien called, still trying to comprehend what was happening. " I have been searching for you. You were nowhere to be found a few months after Jeri had left this city. I thought she came back and took you away demanding that you saved her life. I was astonished when she came to my office asking me about you. Where have you been all this while? And why is my father addressing you like that?”"How many times do you need to be told that Dr. Williams is your grandfather?” Jeri snapped."Zip your mouth, Jeri. I wasn't talking to you,” Darien countered, his brows drawn together.“What Jeri said is nothing but the truth, Darien," Dr. Williams responded, walking past Darien, his hands tucked behind him.“Huh?” Darien gasped. He curiously i
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths Mrs. Lucinda's Downfall
As soon as they set eyes on Jeri, they were taken aback, wondering how she was permitted into the house without their permission They exchanged glances, wondering if Jeri had come with the police to arrest Darien or something different. Just as Mrs. Lucinda was about to question how she came into the house without their permission, Jeri stepped into the lounge and Aysel followed.Immediately Mrs. Lucinda set eyes on her daughter, she quickly swallowed her words, convincing herself that she had access into the house through Aysel.Upon realizing this, it fueled Mrs. Lucinda's hatred for Aysel.After Jeri and Aysel stepped forward, Freya and Sophia followed. Their faces were holding no traces of smile, causing Darien and his parents to ask themselves what exactly the ladies were there to seek.Jeri's eyes blazed as she stepped forward. "We know what you're planning, Mrs. Lucinda. And we won't let you get away with it.""I have no idea what you're talking about," Mrs. Lucinda snapped,
Love, Lies And Hidden Truths The Storms Arrives
“What's wrong, son?" Mrs. Lucinda asked as she sat beside her son on the couch.Darien, whose face was clouded with anger, hastily stood up, avoiding his mother's touch.“Tell me, is it true?" Darien asked, his arms folded above his chest, and his back against his mother's gaze.Mrs. Lucinda was confused as she couldn't comprehend what her son was talking about.“What exactly are you talking about, son?" Mrs. Lucinda stood up and asked with skepticism.Darien turned around and faced his mother. They locked eyes as though they were about to wrestle.Although Darien didn't believe what Jeri and the other girls were saying about his mother, he felt it best to ask his mother a few questions to be on the safer side.Again, the evidence provided by the girls triggered him to believe them a little. He wasn't ready to fully trust them as he was well aware that Jeri was determined to get back at him because of what happ
