Veena was not able to react in time. Ashley grabbed on to her hair and painfully pulled on them entagling it into her fingers. "You liar! How could you do this to me!?" Ashley screeched out. Because of Ashley's continuous assault both of them fell on the ground. Veena shielded herself with her arms but she couldn't be saved from Ashley's claw-like nails. For sure, her arms will be full of scratches. She saw Ashley's hand forming a fist, a strong punch about to go her way. She closed her eyes awaiting for the impact. However, the heavy weight of Ashley disappeared. "Are you alright?" Veena heard a familiar voice. She looked up and stared back at a pair of dark eyes glowering with anger. Lois saved her once again. She thought he left the party, but he never did. He was here. His eyes glared over the scratches on her pale and supple skin. He helped her stand up and took off his coat, wrapping it around her. At the other side of the party, Stephen was too shocked by his fiancee's
Aaron jumped a moment ago then changed his expression instantly. That person's voice was none other than Aloysius Rossenov. "I'm not talking about you, Aloysius." Aaron said. Lois towered over Aaron with the darkest aura he had ever shown. Aaron tried his best to toughen up but slowly began to cower under Lois' presence. The Rossenov's may be the biggest rival of the Sullivan's but their power is beyond the Sullivan family's reach. Despite being a Sullivan, Aaron still couldn't defeat a man like Aloysius Rossenov. "Hm? But you are referring to me. I don't like it when men try to steal something that was already taken. A friendly adivce to you. I hate it when people try to cross me." Veena couldn't hear what the men were talking about, but she can tell that Lois wasn't happy. She thought he was waiting outside, yet he came here to save her from Aaron. "Lois..." He pulled her behind him, hiding her from Aaron's eyes. Veena's heart fluttered because of his protective actions. She
Veena gripped the pen in her hand, trying her best not to glance at Lois. This was unexpected. He couldn't wait to divorce her, huh? Does he really want Fontana that much? Her eyes moved over the divorce details and she frowned. "I want to change something." she said. "I'm sorry, Miss Harrison. My client doesn't want anything changed in the papers. Is there something that does not satisfy you? We can discuss it while Mr. Rossenov is still here." the lawyer said. Veena pointed at the paper and finally looked at Lois. He was sitting in a relaxed manner which annoyed her. "I don't want Luxuria. Please remove anything that gives benefits to me. I refuse to accept anything from...that man." She couldn't utter out his name anymore. Lois frowned and whispered to his lawyer's ear. She crossed her arms while observing him. It seems that this ongoing divorce hasn't affected him at all. "Mr. Rossenov says that this company belongs to you. You are both business partners and he did
A lot changes were made in the manor. The decorations Helen placed were now back to what it used to be. The servants who mocked Veena in the past were all fired. Only few servants were left and all of them were loyal to Veena's mother. The nursing care facility for the aged transferred Grandma Meredith and Veena was happy to be close with her grandmother again. It hurts that her grandma was left all alone in a facility, abandoned by her family. "Grandma, I missed you!" Veena hugged her with tears in her eyes. "Ah, my dear Veena. I miss you so much! Now, tell me where is that unfilial son of mine!? I'll whack him with my stick for throwing me in that horrible place!" "Don't worry, grandma. I already took care of it. I made sure the guards will deny them entry back into the manor. The place mama built with her own hardwork." "You're such an angel, Veena. It was all my fault for forcing Cedric to marry Vivianne. Your mother was sweet and beautiful, she was the daughter-in-law I've e
After Lois announced his secret marriage. The reporters became even more agitated to get answers regarding his marriage or his wife. Lois stood up about to leave the conference room, but a female reporter stopped him. "Mr. Rossenov, can you tell us more about your marriage!" she demanded. Lois ignored the woman and continued going down the stage. The woman was panicking she needed a new scoop to save her job. Her boss gave her a chance to redeem herself and that is to get a big news. Soon the guards were blocking her from approaching Mr. Rossenov. Her panicked eyes looked around the room and landed on a blonde haired woman with square-rimmed sunglasses. With Mr. Rossenov admitting of his marriage and his take over of Fontana. She assumed that this woman was Veena Harrison. She called out to the woman without doubting her hunches. "Miss Harrison! What is your relationship with Mr. Rossenov!" Veena heard a woman scream and it also caught the attention of other reporters. He
[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT]Veena succumbed to Lois' demands to take the test kit. She was nervous of the results and if it was she wouldn't know what to do. She barely experienced a mother's love and carrying a child scared her. That would also mean her relationship with Lois will become too complicated. He is the only man she has ever slept with and the father of her baby.She sighed while waiting for the test results to come out. Lois' caress fingers drew circles on hands and it helped her calm down a little. "We need to go to the OBGYN for better results." Lois said."Don't be anxious, Mr. Rossenov. Pregnancy test kits are enough to find out the results." the doctor reassured him."Look, I can see the lines already." Abby said with excitement. Lois grabbed the stick before Veena could take a look at it. He was staring intently on the lines and showed it to Veena that the results showed two lines."Congratulations! Both of you will be expecting a baby!" The doctor smiled. "I'll be
Veena fluttered her eyes open. She can feel Lois' warm breath blowing on to her neck. His arms wrapped tightly around her waist and their legs were entangled together. He brought her back to a beautiful mansion and everything else followed.She slowly turned around carefully not to wake him up.She'd never thought their relationship will turn like this. She couldn't imagine herself loving another man after what happened from her ex-fiance. And yet here she is, feeling relaxed with her eyes lovingly staring at the man beside her.With a dainty finger she traced his naked chest all the way down to his muscular and toned abs. She gasped when a pair of hands clasped her bums and pulled her, making her straddle on top of him. The duvet fell on to the floor revealing their naked bodies. "Lois, you naughty man!" Veena slapped his chest. He chuckled and pulled her down, aching for a taste of her lips. The kiss only lasted few seconds because Lois' phone suddenly rang. He groaned in annoya
"Miss Veena! I miss you so much!" Chelsy was crying like a river. The whole Luxuria team: Mishy, Madam Trancy, Mr. Albertts, Jason and Maris. Welcomed Veena with a fully decorated office building. "I'm so glad you're back. I was so worried when Mr. Rossenov suddenly announced his take over on Fontana. We thought something happened to you." Madam Trancy said with tears in her eyes. "Welcome back, Miss Veena. Mr. Rossenov had to pause the launching of Luxuria's bag collection without prior notice." says Maris. "We are happy to see the Luxuria team complete once again. If it's alright with you if you can tell us what happened?" Mr. Albertts asked. "Dear, we shouldn't. This is something between Miss Veena and Mr. Rossenov." Jason told his partner. "Shouldn't tell what?" Lois appeared out of nowhere. The couple stiffened and were nervous around him. Veena laughed and moved closer to Lois. Holding him intimately. The whole team's eyes were focused on the glinting rings of the c
Ashley laughed as she watched the protesters causing trouble in front of the Fontana building. Her plan worked and this is enough to destroy her sister's reputation!A company with an unhealthy working environment is the greatest embarrassment a business could ever wish for!Her phone rang and it was Stephen. "Hey, honey! I miss you so much, why did you call me? Is there something wrong? Are there issues with the wedding preparations!?" Her once bitter voice suddenly turned sweet. "What have you done now!? Grandpa is now angry because you used the Sullivan's resources to cause trouble at Fontana! Get back here now and face grandpa!" Stephen's boisterous and furious voice made her shiver with fear.She didn't think that she'll be caught too soon! That old man is really vicious and his watchful eyes is troublesome. None of the Sullivan's have high regards towards her. Making her fall short from the family's favor. But Stephen's father gave her an offer. That is to do something signif
Lois winced as Veena tended to his wounds. She was frowning all the time and hasn’t spoken a single word to her husband since the fight. She brought him immediately to the hospital and the doctor told her he needed a week of bed rest due to small broken ribs.“Love…” Lois whispered, wanting to hold her hand.But she moved away and avoided his touch. Placing the items she used to redress his wounds on a tray. She volunteered to dress his wounds instead of bothering the nurses. "Talk to me." he begged. She turned away from him at the same time someone knocked on the door. It must be the food she ordered. After thanking Felix for delivering the food, she arranged the bed tray first. Lois was silently watching her, following her every move. Soon, Lois became annoyed and pushed the bed tray out of his way. He grabbed his wife's arm, making Veena lose balance. She squeaked from the sudden surprise and fell into her husband's arms. "What are you doing? I nearly spilled the rice porridge
"Mrs. Rossenov, Ashley is outside demanding to see you," Abby reported to Veena.It is early in the morning and the pregnancy is making her emotions go everywhere and the symptoms sent her frequent visits to the toilet. The news of Ashley's arrival just ruined her peaceful breakfast. "Madam! She was able to barge through the gates with the Sullivan's security force." "Veena! Open this f*cking door right now!" Ashley's raging shout can be heard outside. Veena placed down her cup. Feeling annoyed of the disturbance. "Give her a warm welcome for me, Abby. Let my husband know of Ashley's visit." After giving instructions to Abby. Veena went to the bathroom behind the kitchen to freshen up. Her weary and sick-filled face will make her look weak in front of that screaming banshee. "Where is that b*tch!? She's so tough challenging me publicly but won't face me right now!?" The ear piercing shout rang once again. "Gosh, there is no need for you to scream like a freaking dying banshee! I

The well-dressed who came along with her were socialites and good at buttering up to Ashley.They were whispering to one another while constantly glancing at Ashley. She noticed this and wasn't happy of their backstabbing. Slamming her hands on the table, the three socialites jumped from the sudden bang."What are you guys whispering about? Are you planning something that will ruin my wedding?"The women shook their heads and expertly caressed Ashley's ego."Oh no, of course not Ashley. We would never ever try to do something like that.

And we're not quite sure if it is about you." says the brunette."It is all over the news! Here let us show you."
I marched straight into Fontana first to oversee the issues. A lot of employees were rioting outside the company and throwing spoiled food, rocks and whatever objects in their hands on the company's building. Abby was able to contact the police immediately once she received the news of the riot. The police were trying their best to calm down and apprehend violent employees. "There she is! The witch who destroyed our jobs!" A man shouted and pointed at Veena. The crowd became agitated and nearly broke through the line of policemen. Insults and curses were thrown towards Veena and she was not affected by them. It is for the best to remain calm and assess the situation especially with her pregnancy.

Ever since her return to Fontana and gaining control nearly 70% of the company's operation
Breakfast in the Rossenov house was eerily quiet, tense and awkward. Only the sound of cutleries echoed in the dining hall. The food was delicious but the presence of Edwin dampened Veena and Lois' mood. Ever since Edwin's declaration of claiming the Rossenov empire, Lois' resentment to his father grew even deeper. Now, her husband kept himself distracted by peeling shrimps and placing them on her filled plate.Emmon noticed the tense atmosphere and cleared his throat, facing Dianne. "Tell us more about you Miss Dianne, other than being my son's fiance of course."Dianne was surprised for being put on the spot early in the morning. "My mother's side is from an aristocratic family, the Emersons from up north in the Haven City. My father is a Valence and used to live here in Geneva before falling in love with mom and transferred to Haven City. We ran a hotel empire back home and been running it for years." She shared without giving too much information.Veena stopped stabbing on her fo
PRESENT TIMEVeena gasped when Abby and Felix approached them from nowhere. It has been a while since she last saw both of them. She asked Lois about it once and he replied with the secretaries 'busy' with something else outside the country. She raised an eyebrow upon seeing their arms linked together. Abby blushed when her madam's gaze fell on their obvious proximity. "Where were you guys all along?" She crossed her arms as if scolding adult children. Felix placed an arm around Abby's waist. Making Veena's eyes grew even more excited. "When I saw your relationship with Mr. Rossenov, I was beginning to look back at my relationship with Abby. Actually, she's my girlfriend but we kind of had a bad blood between us. But right now, we're doing our best to fix things." Felix explained. She laughed and clapped her hands. "That's great! I've never thought of you guys having that kind of relationship. I thought Abby was having a small crush on you. Oh wow, this is so unexpected!" "F
Lois amorously kissed Veena's neck as he placed the princess necklace around her slender neck. It was a gift he gave her, to show off to the whole world that this is the woman he will spoil forever."I've been meaning to ask and I'm afraid it would be insensitive of me." Veena said."I'm your husband. Whatever you ask me of I won't be angry." Veena has been married to Lois for a few months already but there are still a lot of things to workout in their marriage. First things first is to know more about her husband. "What happened to your mom?" Lois sighed and motioned her to sit on the bed. "Her name is Emelyn.

My father wasn't happy because he wanted another son. Soon, our family started crumble when he kept on coming home late with unkept appearance.

The public is questioning the position of the mistresses now that Edwin is introducing his fiancee to the public. The mistresses were too embarrassed to get out of the manor now that everyone is ridiculing them.Even the family's butler, Claude Gregory, was annoyed by these mistresses.

The honking car made Claude very happy. It was his moment to escape th
