After visiting Veronica, Rossie realized that she wasn't so good at hiding, maybe even Catherine or Miriam knew she was pregnant. But Veronica also told her that she doubts her mother and grandmother know. Rossie trusts the woman's verdict. As she descends the stairs she thought about what could happen. Just then her heart just starts racing and she feels her hands sweating, pausing in the middle to take a breath. What is happening to her? She always gets anxious whenever she thinks of the succession and her husband getting shot. Rossie briefly rubbed her belly and started taking steps down again. Lara told her that she needed some exercise so she started walking the halls. That's an everyday thing for her and when she's finished walking the halls she'd take a stroll to the garden.As she just exiting the halls, she met Jared. Instantly she plastered a smile.

Chapter 73.3Like always Veronica was wearing something elegant and sparkly. Ellisa didn't know what to say because the last time they spoke to each other, she was fiery and it didn't end well. "Good morning, dear Elly!" Veronica greeted, a big smile on her face. "We have not talked for a very long time! How are you?"If she could just go back some minutes ago she'd like to interrupt Jared and Rossie. But she can't so she inhales as quietly as possible."Good morning, Veronica," she greeted back, finally flashing a smile. "I am fine and you?""I am wonderful!" Ellisa nodded. She was about to excuse herself and walked past the woman when Veronica suddenly wrapped her hands around Ellisa's arm, making her eyes grow wide. "Let's talk somewhere far from here!""Wh-What are we--""You and me and our mutual feelings for Levius," Veronica cut her off, her tone cheery as if it wasn't a big deal that they like the same man. On the left side of the mansion's lawn, they walked slowly. Ellis

The live broadcast suddenly cut off and Rossie couldn't see if it was Jared who got shot first or the man who stood in front of him with a gun. She became restless and everyone surrounded her as she started sobbing."Contact the other guards right away!" Veronica commanded the securities that were with them and then cupped her face. "Listen, Rossie! It's not the time to break down! Let's hear it first!""I-I saw the man po-pointing a gun a-at him!" she cries, her voice breaking. "Don't be so negative!" Veronica shouts. "I know my brother is fast. He could've dodged it and even if he didn't he has a vest! So, calm down!""Breath in and out, darling." Catherine's soft voice, she hears and she did what was instructed. "That's right, that's right.""Anything yet?" Veronica asked the security."No, ma'am," one of them replied which makes the woman worried too."Let's calm down and wait for the men," Miriam said. Rossie's breathing might've calmed but she couldn't stop her mind from storm

They waited a day after the succession but nothing happened. And when the day was over everyone could breathe without any trouble. Miriam who previously had the idea to go on a trip was the most delighted. No one in the family was harmed and to celebrate such, she wanted everyone at the dinner table.*Since the succession, Prim has noticed how Keille sometimes avoids her. He had turned cold as well, speaking less to her and she wonders what could she have done wrong. When he got home, he hugged her for a minute straight and that's it. He didn't say anything and walk away. She herself could not even say anything but look at his back as he fades.Today, she will try to knock on his door and ask what had gone wrong. Everyone seemed to notice nothing but she knows something was definitely wrong with Keille. She raises her fist and knocks on his door."Keille? It's Prim. Can I talk to you?" She waited but there was no reply and so she knocks again. "I can come back later if you don't want

The Sparacinos waited. They gathered pieces of information about everyone living in that Corporal mansion. Oh, how easy it would be if they just drop them a bomb but Garry knows someone would shoot down their bomber planes before getting close. They needed to be careful. From the information they received, they found out that Jared Danielle Corporal is married to a nobody. Never had they imagined that he was married to someone, especially at times like this. He did a good job of keeping her information out of reach. "I want to kill that brat firsthand," Derek grunted. Garry was not interested in that brat who killed his son. He was more interested in the new owner, Jared. I he fails, their family would be on top and he knows a man's weakness is someone he loves. "It has been a week father! Shouldn't we be making a move now?" His oldest son is impatient as always. "I can not just sit here all week, reading over and over again their whereabouts!""Patience is always a virtue, Derek.

The beach always excites Ellisa and she was about to go running when not so far away, she sees her best friend and Jared happily bonding. She knows the space was wide but she wouldn't dare step at the moment so she smiles and turned away. Maybe she can go to the other side or stay put for the night.

She could not wait to explore this island.Ellisa didn't know where to go but mister Montreal said they could go anywhere so she follows a trail. And it led her to what seemed to be a greenhouse.

It was a wonderful day in paradise when the sunlight peeked through the curtains and into Keille's face, completely waking him up. He groans as he stretches and then starts rubbing his still lazy eyes as he sits up. He breathes in as he starts another day. Long when his mother died, he hated the sun, but it didn't bother him anymore. Last night, Prim and he had an agreement to do some adventure today. It had been a long time since they'd set foot on the beach or even him thinking about being on a beach. It just came unprecedented and he knows Prim loves the ocean. They have been caught up in that succession and school that they can't have fun. The only good thing that coronation brought was that kiss Prim gave him. He was so happy it happened. Even if it cost a life or his life, he would do it over and over again just to taste her lips.She was so red after that and he was too that they couldn't even look into each other's eyes. Whenever he remembers, he would giggle. It was just

While every one of the family was outside doing their own fun at the beach, Veronica stayed on the terrace, holding a can of beer. She hates beer but it was the only thing convenient that could satisfy her thirst. This vacation turned a little too peaceful that it was hard to tell if something was coming or if she was just anxious. The way it is quiet definitely haunts her. Just as she was thinking all of this, she gets the feeling that someone is behind her. "Are you planning to push me off?" Veronica asked, finding it unnecessary to look back when she knows who it was. It didn't take long and Stephanie was standing beside her."Do you hate the beach?" she questions. "You're out here instead of enjoying your time under the sun.""I do not hate the beach nor the sun." She smiles. "I am just not very fond of it.""You look like you hate your family."Veronica exhaled, glancing at the young lady. "No. It seems like you hate my family.""I do." Stephanie didn't hesitate to say which ma

In somewhere dark and stinky, Rossie and Kenneth were thrown by Garry's men into what seemed to be an attic of an old resthouse. It was full of dust and cobwebs. Unlike the room Derek got for her, this one has no light, no nothing and she was thankful the moon started to show and gave a little bit of moonlight. They have been in that car, traveling for so long and she feels thirsty. She was thankful Kenneth stayed by her side. At least she has company.She was so startled when her door flung open and then these big men came to get her. Kenneth barked and even tried biting one of them but he failed because he was so little they just tossed him. She had to cover him up and not let go of him. That's when Garry came and she knew he was a devil. They dragged them out of that mansion and into a car. No, here she is in wherever this place may be. "Don't worry, Kenneth." She pets the puppy who sleeps in her lap. "We'll be rescued and you'll return to Derek and I'll return home."It didn't

Papers on his desk, cold coffee on his side, Jared had fallen asleep on his desk again. He was so tired from trying to gain access to a blueprint of the Sparacinos' mansion. Spending hours staring at the screen had his eyes drooping and hurting so he was going to take a break and he fell into slumber.Now a knock on his door was disrupting his sleep and he groans, moving his arms and lifting his head. Ugh! His neck is stiff and he moved it side by side, groaning again. He hopes whoever comes inside has some good reason to wake him up."Come in," he said. The door flung open, revealing a breathless Keille. This kid was always so chill but who chase him that he's catching his breath?"I need to talk to you," Keille uttered. "You sound like some predator was chasing you," he remarks. "I went to the Sparacinos mansion and spoke with Rossie." Instantly Jared's eyes widened. Keille did something that reckless and he's in front of him unscathed. Jared was still shocked when Keille continu

From the second-floor terrace down to the long staircase and endless halls before the main doors, Veronica ran, breathless when she was outside. She just saw Keille driving a car and with unprecedented speed drove away from their mansion. She knows that Keille was not happy Rossie was still not rescued and he has been crept up by guilt. Raking her fingers through her hair, she could've done better. Early in the morning and they could lose another family member. What is Keille thinking?*It was so early in the morning but Keille couldn't wait anymore. He has been hearing Primrose cry for her sister and every time he sees her, his heart breaks.

He deserves to be shot.The drive to the enemy's lair is an hour and a half drive but Keille got there in fifty with him accelerating every opportunity he could. It was like playing his game, only

Soon enough they'll only have one choice but to check on their main mansion. The only problem is it was heavily guarded. It would be like two kingdoms going to war.He knows he is going to win it but there would be a lot of lives that can be lost. Their business affairs will be affected as well.

Child? Keille asked in her mind. Rossie is pregnant? She has to go through all of these because of him. Whatever it is that he was feeling right now. Guilt or conscience? It was eating Keille. If he didn't help and agreed about the fake kidnapping, they would not move here, and Prim won't have to cry. "I have to do something," he mumbles to himself. Keille doesn't seem like it but he has a collection of useful spy tools. He has also learned how to lockpicks. He has been interested in it since he loves playing games. It's a fact that a game's situation is different from reality but the difference is not that far. He just has to remember that he won't respawn.Once he gets home, he'll find Rossie himself to make it up for agreeing to that plan, for Rossie being captured, and for Prim's cries. He just hopes that Rossie is still alive.*"How much longer until we can get out and look for dear Rossie?" Miriam cries again, wiping only the corners of her eyes with a silly handkerchief. "Oh
