Grace stared at Susan with anger in her eyes, her voice filled with frustration. "Can you please just stop with all this nonsense?" she demanded, her tone laced with irritation and impatience."We've had enough talking," Grace continued, her voice firm yet concerned. "I think what you really need right now is some rest. Go and take a break, and we can discuss this matter later when you're in a better state of mind."Susan shook her head in disbelief, letting out a sigh of exasperation. She felt the weight of Grace's words but remained steadfast in her beliefs. "I'm not going to change like you want me to," Susan retorted, her voice tinged with defiance. "But mark my words, there will come a day when you'll learn your lesson, and on that day, you'll beg for my forgiveness."Susan's bold statement left Grace shocked, her eyes widening in surprise. Sensing the tension escalating, Thomas swiftly stepped forward, his expression a mix of anger and disbelief. In an act of outrage, he raised
The weight of Susan's words hung heavily in the air, her voice trembling with a mixture of hurt and disbelief. She couldn't fathom why, after all the years they had spent together, Thomas still failed to trust and believe in her. Her eyes widened, searching for a glimmer of understanding in his gaze."You don't trust your own wife?" Susan questioned, her voice aching with disappointment and desperation. The realization of his lack of faith in her left her heartbroken.Thomas's response was curt and devoid of any reassurance. "No," he uttered, his words falling like a heavy blow. As tears welled up in Susan's eyes, the pain of his lack of trust became all-consuming.With a quivering voice and tear-streaked cheeks, Susan posed a series of heart-wrenching questions, her voice laced with raw emotion. "Then why did you marry me? Why did you entrust me with the care of your son, who was born out of wedlock? How could you have believed in me to raise him properly? Why did you marry me when y
His words pierced Susan's heart, a stark reminder of the chasm that had formed between them.As Thomas closed the door behind him, leaving her isolated in the room, Susan was engulfed by a profound sense of loneliness and despair. She sat there, feeling the weight of her love for her grandson and the desperate need to protect him, but with no way to bridge the divide that had grown between her and Thomas. The silence in the room mirrored the void in her heart, leaving her feeling helpless and alone.The echoes of Susan's desperate pleas reverberated through the room, her voice filled with a mix of fear, concern, and a fervent plea for Thomas to reconsider. "Thomas, please don't do this. We have to protect our grandson! We couldn't even save our own son. Let's not repeat the same mistake twice. This is about our family," she yelled, her words piercing through the air, heavy with emotion.Thomas, burdened by the weight of his own stubbornness and the anguish in Susan's voice, let out a
The moment Thomas vanished from their line of sight, Grace's anger erupted in a forceful shout, causing the air to tremble. "You!" she bellowed, her voice echoing with indignation.Jasmine involuntarily flinched, her body tensing up as she sensed the impending storm directed at her. Grace spun around, fixing her piercing gaze upon Jasmine, who suddenly realized it was her turn to bear the brunt of the old woman's scolding and wrath.Nervously, Jasmine stammered out a response, her words faltering under the weight of the situation. "Yes... yes, Grandmother," she managed to utter, her voice barely above a whisper. A hint of apprehension danced in her eyes as she awaited the inevitable torrent of reprimands.A twisted smirk crept across Grace's face, a sadistic amusement emerging as she took deliberate steps closer to Jasmine, her presence looming over her like a dark cloud. With an unwavering intensity, Grace locked eyes with Jasmine, her voice laced with disappointment and frustration.
Exasperation hung heavy in the air as Grace let out a weary sigh, her disappointment palpable. "I explicitly instructed you to dismantle Giovanni's companies swiftly and effectively. Yet, you seem incapable of accomplishing even that!" Grace's frustration escalated, her voice growing more volatile. Her words took on an accusatory tone, laced with disdain and an unsettling blend of anger and contempt. "What else are you capable of doing, Jasmine? Are you merely pleasing him with empty lust or love? Are you trying to present yourself as nothing more than a mere object of desire, a sex doll to him, rather than a true wife?" Grace's voice rumbled with a deep growl, mirroring her seething displeasure.Feeling the weight of Grace's wrath, Jasmine's voice wavered as she offered a sincere apology. "I am sorry..." she murmured, her words carrying the weight of her remorse.Grace's voice quivered with frustration as she dismissed Jasmine's apology with a bitter tone. "Your apology holds no weig
As soon as Grace disappeared from their line of sight, Aiden swiftly grasped Jasmine's hand, causing her head to snap towards him in surprise."What do you think you're doing?" Jasmine questioned, her voice tinged with caution."Ah...I've missed you so much, love," Aiden replied, his tone laced with a hint of longing. Jasmine rolled her eyes in response, growing weary of his advances."Let me go," she asserted firmly, extricating her hand from his grasp."Oh, what's the rush?" Aiden taunted, a smug smirk adorning his face."I want to go home," Jasmine stated, her desire for solitude palpable as she turned around, heading away from him."Surely," he responded, his smirk never fading as he trailed behind Jasmine, unable to resist the temptation of pursuing her further.•••••Giovanni turned to his young nephew, Ryle, and proposed, "Shall we step out of the car now?" Ryle eagerly nodded, his face radiating anticipation and curiosity. Hand in hand, they made their way out of the vehicle a
Isabella glanced up at Giovanni, her gaze filled with a mix of curiosity and expectation. However, Giovanni sighed, subtly signaling her not to reveal her surname. Confusion furrowed Isabella's brow for a moment before she redirected her attention back to Ryle."Well, just call me Bella?" Isabella suggested, offering an alternative. Ryle's face brightened with delight. "Yes, I love the name Bella," he exclaimed, his genuine enthusiasm shining through.Isabella extended her hand, anticipating a handshake. Yet, to her surprise, Ryle bypassed the formalities and wrapped his small arms around her, enveloping her in an unexpected hug. Isabella blinked in surprise, her eyes widening. Giovanni, too, was taken aback by the spontaneous display of affection.Isabella quickly recovered, a genuine smile gracing her lips as she embraced Ryle with equal warmth, reciprocating his hug wholeheartedly.

"What? What is happening, Giovanni? How can Luna Grace utter such cruel words in Ryle's presence?" Layla exclaimed, her voice laced with concern. Giovanni sighed heavily, realizing the extent of Layla's knowledge about the situation."You know her... you know Grandmother very well, don't you?" Giovanni asked, his tone filled with a mixture of frustration and resignation. Layla let out a weary sigh, acknowledging Giovanni's question."Yes, I do. But this is too much. Ryle is still the son of a Lycan King. He carries his father's blood within him. He unquestionably belongs here," Layla argued, her voice filled with determination. Giovanni nodded in agreement, grateful for Layla's understanding."You're right. She just doesn't want to acknowledge his claim to the throne. But if I were to give him that rightful place..." Giovanni's voice trailed off, his thoughts in disarray. Layla furrowed her brow, sensing Giovanni's hesitation."Then what?" Layla pressed, her voice filled with curiosit
