The one who initiated the escape plans, let out a mocking laugh. He scrutinized Alex and was quite disappointed by his physique. He didn't think that Alex would be useful to his plans either.He already had someone to distract the wardens and adding an extra person could disrupt their plans or ruin their escape plans.“No, you can't join us,” He said and turned to the others.Alex was stunned by how he rejected him. 'Why did he reject me? Who does he think he is?' Alex thought, boiling in anger. 'I should go tell the wardens about their plans then let's see how they will escape,' He thought and wanted to turn on his heels, but then he changed his mind. He knew that they would kill him, if he dared to spill the beans. He wasn't ready to die yet, so he had to think of an idea, which would prove useful to them.“Your plan won't work, if you use just a fire outbreak scheme,” Alex suddenly said.The leader of the escape plans called Dimitrus, looked at him angrily, “I already said that
“Mom, I don't think this is a good idea,” Elizabeth said, shaking her head in disagreement.“What do you mean by that? It's the best idea that I could come up with,” Mrs. Crown raised her voice. “If it's such a bad idea, then why don't you think of something? Everything that you've achieved till this point is because of me. Your father, who claimed to have such a perfect idea, came out with nothing that could truly help you,”“Sometimes, you should appreciate the efforts that I'm making,” Her mother yelled, pointing at her.“Mom, this has nothing to do with appreciation—”“Keep quiet, if you can't suggest anything better!”“You know that all this is partly your fault, right? If you weren't so stupid to record that damn video and send it to Emma, then none of this would have happened. Sometimes, I wonder why I lack a child with brains like mine,” Mrs. Crown affronted, displeased by Elizabeth's opposition to her plan.She faced the guy who was wearing a t-shirt and cap and stared at the
“Mom, your plan might be well-thought-out, but Liam might still suspect us,” Elizabeth muttered hesitantly.“I believe this pregnancy has made you overly emotional,” Mrs. Crown retorted with a glare.“I'm simply stating a fact,” Elizabeth replied, shrugging. “Elizabeth, enough opposition from you. Liam will continue hating you as long as Emma is alive. He will have nothing to hold on to if she dies. I do understand your point, but he would eventually stop suspecting you when the cops find no evidence,” Mrs. Crown asserted before walking back to the car.“And when he mourns her death, you might even get him to sleep with you again,” Mrs. Crown chuckled and turned to Elizabeth, who wore a gloomy expression on her face.“You have nothing to worry about, Elizabeth. My plan will work, and then we will find ways to make him fall for you,” Mrs. Crown said, softening her tone. “Wipe that sad look off your face. Or are you telling me th
“The kids are still at home, I will go to the mansion to pick them up,” Liam stated.“Thank you so much,” Emma replied with a smile, kissing his lips again. “I can't wait to see them,”“You'll see them soon. I will sort out a few things, and you will be out of here. I just need you to stay out of trouble tonight. If anyone tries to bully you in any way, don't hesitate to call the police officers,” Liam said, his tone filled with concern.He didn't want Emma to get hurt or have some kind of traumatic experience. Although it wasn't a main prison, he still felt worried about her safety.“I'll be fine.” Emma reassured him with a smile. “Though someone tried a few things, but I handled everything gracefully,”“What things?”“The person threw a paper ball at me and tried to intimidate me,” Emma replied, laughing lightly. “It wasn't anything violent. It's just a routine for newcomers I believe, but I was able to stop any furth
Valerie gripped the knife tightly and a smirk spread across her lips.She brandished the pocket knife, its blade glinting in the dim light. Emma's eyes widened in shock as she stepped back, her heart pounding with fear at the sight of the weapon in front of her.“Why do you have a knife?” Emma stuttered, her breath quickening in fear. “If you want me to leave this spot then fine, I will go, but please don't resort to violence,”“Please don't hurt me,” Emma pleaded, her voice trembling. Valerie raised the knife menacingly to stab Emma, but she managed to slip away. “Someone help me!” Emma screamed as she ran to another corner of the cell. “Is any officer there? Someone help me!” She cried out.The other inmates remained indifferent, and there was no sign of the cops coming to her aid. “You were being tough earlier, what's with tears now? Are you afraid of this knife or of me?” Valerie taunted, her e
“Please!!!” Emma screamed out of her sleep. She instantly sat upright, gasping in fear. She looked around her cell, but there was no sign of Valerie. It was all a dream.“Oh my God,” Emma cried and crawled closer to the wall, curling herself there with her chin on her knees.She kept her teary eyes on the cell door, afraid of her dream becoming reality.“Liam, please come for me…" Emma muttered, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I can't do this anymore. I'm so scared,”Her hands went to her chest and she squeezed her dress tightly. More tears slipped from her eyes, but she didn't lose focus on the cell door.“Liam,” Emma called, her breath turning into ragged gasps. “Liam,”Mentioning his name seemed to bring some comfort to her.“Take me away from here,” Emma sobbed.She kept staring at the door for hours and when it creaked open, her heart almost leaped out of her chest.An officer unlocked
A smile formed on Alex's lips as he heard Dimitrius' words.“I can't wait,” Alex beamed, happily.“Don't get too excited, we have eyes on us. It would be better for us to develop more codes later, so we don't have to speak too openly about our plans,” Dimitris whispered.Alex and the other inmates nodded in response.“Also, we are not the only ones planning to escape that night,” Dimitris said, surprising Alex.“Are more people joining us? Won't our plans become complicated?” Alex asked, worriedly.He didn't want anyone to jeopardize his chances of leaving prison.“Well, the warden informed us that he wouldn't help us unless we include certain people in our plans,” Dimitrus replied, his voice low and muffled to prevent other inmates from eavesdropping.“Dammit!” Alex snarled and banged his fist on the table. “I don't like the sound of that, but I guess there's nothing we can do about it,”“Yea
The strange man closed the files and handed them back to his assistant. “Emma's house must be huge, but I can buy her a better one. I won't care about spending my money lavishly on her,” He muttered with a smile on his lips. “She deserves to be treated like a princess,”“She also looks like one,” his assistant chuckled lightly, but then he realized that he had crossed his limits. He slowly looked at his boss and apologized, “I'm sorry sir,”“You shouldn't be sorry. You're right. She does look like a princess with that beautiful blonde hair of hers, I've always wanted to take a sniff of it. I wonder about the kinds of oils she adds to her hair,”“Would you like to send some of your preferences to her?” His assistant asked, curiously.“I would like to keep a low profile, but when I get a chance to buy things for her, I will make sure that they are unique because a princess like her deserves to feel special,” He said, his face fil
“What I'm feeling is none of your business. Just let me out of this place already! Love is by choice, not force!” Emma cried out and hoped that her bodyguards would find her.“You're going to understand the kind of love I have for you after we get married,” Jacked beamed psychotically, his eyes devilishly scrutinizing her body. “The baby will be aborted after we get married,”Emma gasped, and her hands protectively covered her stomach.“I have to endure his children in our home, I won't bear to raise another one,” Jackson snarled, his eyes darkening at her.“I'll kill you if you try to touch my baby,” Emma threatened, tears brimming in her eyes.“You can try. I love it when you're so rough with me,” He laughed like a maniac.'Liam, please find me. I think the pregnancy made me emotional and now, I have committed a huge mistake. Please save me,' Emma cried inwardly.“A man is coming to get you ready for the wedding. I'll get ready too, see you till then,” Jackson winked at her and left
“Thank you for sending your men to help me, those bodyguards of hers were close to catching me,”Emma heard her father's voice but found it difficult to open her eyes.The next voice she heard was quite unfamiliar.“Well, you made a drastic move to bring my happiness to me. Why wouldn't I help you?” The man responded to Mr. Crown.“May I ask what your name is?” Mr. Crown inquired, his curiosity piqued.“My name is Jackson Taylor,” He responded.The mention of the last name 'Taylor', made Emma more eager to snap out of her unconsciousness. Fortunately, her body cooperated and her eyes slowly opened.Her vision was blurry at first, but within a few seconds, it cleared. She surveyed her environment and saw that she was in someone's sitting room.She darted her gaze to the two men seated on the couch. Anger surged through her when she saw Mr Crown.“You told me that you were having a heart attack!” Emma cried out as she felt a sharp pain in her head.“I am sure that you would have been pl
Emma awakened and found herself in her room. “Honey, are you okay?” Liam asked, his voice full of concern.“Mommy, how do you feel?” Alden asked, holding his mother's hand.Emma groaned a bit and slowly sat upright.“I'm okay,” Emma replied as she saw the worried expressions on their faces.“Are you sure that you're fine, or should I call the doctor?” Liam asked.“Hey, don't make things more complicated. Which doctor would want to come all the way here to examine me?”“There's nothing that money can't do. I can even give him or her a free ride on my yacht,” Liam responded, unconvinced by her positive response. “Mummy, Daddy is right. A doctor should check if you are truly alright or not. We don't want you to fall sick,” Alden muttered and hugged his mother.“I don't want you to be ill either,” Aziel said, resting his head on her lap.Emerald was beside her father, hiccuping. She was so scared when she saw her mother unconscious on the floor. It was her screams that alerted her fathe
Over the weekend, Liam and his family headed to his private island to have some fun. They went via a chopper that Liam had purchased.As they arrived at the Island, they stepped out of the chopper and watched it fly away with the pilot.“Bye,” Emerald smiled, waving at the chopper.“The pilot isn't going to see you, stop waving,” Aziel scoffed.“I wasn't waving at the pilot,” Emerald retorted, continuing to wave to annoy her brother.“Follow me,” Liam said and began walking away.Emma and the kids followed him into the mansion that was situated on the island. The kids were so excited to play and make sand castles when they returned to the shore.“This mansion is beautiful,” Emma commented, having her seat beside Liam. “Yes, it is,” Liam smiled, glancing around. “It has been a while since I've been here,” “Sophia would have loved to come,” Emma said, referring to the Nanny. “I'm sure that she's happy about taking a break. I also believe that we should spend some quality time with ou
Mr. Crown hung up the phone and began lamenting.“What am I going to do now? I haven't thought of anything yet,” Mr. Crown muttered, his voice laced with worry. “How am I going to tear them apart? I've used almost every means I know, but they've remained madly in love. What could I do to change that? Is there anything that can make their love fade away?”“Even if they break up, how am I going to force Emma to get married to a stranger? She's no longer a kid, and she doesn't want to see me either.” Mr. Crown muttered, unable to think of anything that could help him.“I am as good as dead if I don't get this done,” Mr. Crown lamented, his eyes stinging with tears. “What have I gotten myself into?”He darted his teary gaze upstairs and said, “I could have asked for her help or ideas, but she's not in the state of mind to respond to me,”“I can't let that man pressure me into doing anything. I've got to relax and think carefully about my next steps,” Mr. Crown said, sucking in a deep brea
Emma clenched her fists and darted her gaze to the shattered vase. She looked at her stepmother again, and anger surged through her veins.“I can't believe that I was feeling sorry for you and your daughter,” Emma gasped, shocked by her own emotions. “I have been tormented from the moment that you came into this house and your daughter set me up and almost ruined my life,”Emma took a step forward, but Liam held her back.“I've got this,” Emma muttered and gently removed her hand from his grip. She walked to her stepmother and snarled coldly, “I shouldn't pity you. You deserve whatever is happening to you right now. Your daughter also deserved to die, I wish her death were more painful,”“You bitch,” Mrs. Crown raised her hand to slap Emma, but Emma grabbed her hand before it struck her face.Without thinking twice, Emma slapped her so hard that she was knocked down to the floor.“Your daughter has tried killing me more than once. She tried using my allergies against me, she almost d
“Ahhh!!” Elizabeth screamed as fell off the rooftop.Liam stretched his hand to catch her, but he was too late. Her body dropped to the floor with a loud thud and her skull broke.Liam gasped at the horrific sight as blood gushed from her broken head. He heard Emma's gasps from behind, she looked so shaken.“Oh my…God,” Emma shuddered, her hands flew to her mouth in shock. “Oh, my goodness!!!” She let out a scream and tears slipped from her eyes.She shouldn't be crying over someone who had tried so many times to ruin her life, but she couldn't help it. Everything happened too suddenly.“Liam, what…are we going to do? Is she dead?” Emma asked, tears rolling down her cheeks.“Yes, she's dead,” Liam replied, a hint of sadness in his voice.He was unhappy that the poor baby lost its life. It might not have been his child, but he didn't wish for any of this to happen.“Liam, we might get blamed for her death. Are there no cameras around here?” Emma asked, looking around.“There are no cam
They broke the hug and smiled at each other.“Let's have some lunch,” Vanessa proposed and rubbed her stomach. “I'm so famished,”Emma chuckled and folded the DNA result into her bag.“Let's go,” Emma said and they exited the hospital.They boarded a cab and Vanessa told the name of the restaurant to the cab driver.“Bring your phone. I need to send the pieces of evidence to you,” Vanessa muttered and extended her hand.With a smile on her lips, Emma gave her phone to her. Vanessa transferred the details and returned the phone to Emma.“I might head to the police station and give them the details of the doctor, so if anything happens to me, they would know whom to arrest,” Vanessa said, her voice laced with a hint of fear.“He's not going to do anything to you. But it wouldn't do any harm to protect yourself. Thank you so much for confronting him on my behalf. I have been stressed, and it was quite shocking to learn that he faked the results. I was speechless,” Emma laughed lightly.“
Emma was shocked by the doctor's response. Though she wasn't surprised that Elizabeth would do something like that, she didn't expect the doctor that Liam spoke so reputedly about to be a partner in her evil.“I can't believe this,” Vanessa gasped. “Weren't you concerned about the damage the DNA result could do? How could you be so heartless?”The doctor lowered his head and released a sigh.“I'm sorry,” He apologized.“Emma, let's go,” Vanessa muttered and held her hand.As both of them walked to the door, the doctor stopped them.“Wait,”Emma and Vanessa halted their steps and slowly turned to him.“What about the money?” the doctor asked, stunning both of them.“You greedy bastard!” Vanessa raised her voice in anger. “How can you expect another payment after what you did? You should be stripped of your license for your actions!”“I told you the truth because you promised to pay me double of anything that Elizabeth paid me. You should keep to your part of the deal,” The doctor insis
