Struggling to comprehend, Karina dropped the document. "You must be joking, right?" Mike Henshaw chuckled. "I do not make such jests. In fact, Aidan recommended you for this. He declined the deal when I offered it to him." She narrowed her eyes, still trying to make sense of the sudden shift in the situation. Wasn't he here to present his own proposal and secure the deal? Tilting his head, Mike peered at her as he muttered, "What's so special about you, as he mentioned?" "Excuse me?" "He wasn't quite clear, so I'm inquiring. I want to know as well." Karina slowly looked away, lost in thought. Everything felt surreal.Taking a seat, Michael instructed his personal assistant, "Revise the contract for Everhardt Properties and ensure that the necessary paperwork is delivered to the company by tomorrow."The man nodded and left. Karina regathered herself, peering at Mike.Assuming that she was still taken aback, he clarified, "He didn't even give a presentation. He actually relinqui

As the day progressed, Karina joined her family in celebrating her achievements. Afterward, she walked into her daughter's room, holding her in her arms. "Mommy, you're amazing," Sophie gently expressed, giving her a kiss on the cheek before settling on her bed. "My sweet little angel," Karina cooed, tickling her daughter and reveling in her delightful laughter. "Mom, please stop. You're acting like a child," Sophie teased, as Karina sat next to her on the bed. "Well, I don't mind carrying you on my back, playing around this huge house with you, or even acting like a child for you." "I know, but you don't have to do all that. Great-grandfather can give me a piggyback ride," Sophie said. Karina was taken aback. "Has he ever done that before?" "No, but he promised to do it next Sunday." "Sweetheart, you shouldn't let him do that. He's quite old now. You don't want to overburden him." "Oh." Sophie pouted. "I've told him that, but he keeps bragging about how strong he is. Anyway,

Upon arriving home, Aidan was met with a scolding from his father, who was livid at the news of them losing the deal to Everhardt Properties. "How could you let this happen?" Cole fumed. Aidan vividly recalled asking Mike Henshaw to give the deal to Everhardt Properties, having been impressed by Karina's presentation. Thinking of a quick excuse, he replied, "I didn't have enough time to give a proper presentation, so Mike decided to give the deal to them instead." "Is that the truth?" Cole inquired, his eyes filled with skepticism. With a self-assured tilt of his chin, Aidan declared, "You can either investigate or call him." He confidently fabricated the truth, knowing full well that his friend Mike Henshaw would never reveal their shared secret, despite their close relationship. Keeping his end of the bargain, Aidan had asked Mike to keep his own dirty secret under wraps. Having said that, he made his way to his room. Meanwhile, in the driver's seat, Amira pounded her fists o

Closing some distance between them, he remarked, “It is a pleasure to see you, Karina." She rolled her eyes in response. “Do you recall this place?" He peered at her with a glimmer of hope. Perhaps she would recall, he thought to himself. The place seemed vaguely familiar and although she tried to jog her memory, she replied with a sudden declaration, “No, I do not recall." "It is our customary reservoir. Although I have brought you here only twice. I come here frequently." He paused and took in their surroundings. "In fact, I started coming here more often after you left. It brought back memories of us and it was quite strange that it was because of those recurring memories that I became attached to this place." She feigned a spark of recollection and looked around with a teasing grin. “You always lied to me whenever we came here. But your lies were sweet." She concealed the pain she felt behind a forced smile. "I believed those lies too and they destroyed me," he remarked, grea

Aidan remained silent, unable to meet his father's gaze. "Son, were you really hiding this from us all this time?" his aunt Cruzita asked, holding onto his arm. "I'm sure you had a lot of expectations that he couldn't fulfill," Kayla interjected, trying to diffuse the situation. But her comment earned her a glare from Cruzita. "I don't recall asking for your opinion. This is a family matter," Cruzita scoffed. "Aunt, we are family," Xander spoke up in a soft voice, not wanting to upset her further. But Cruzita shot him a disapproving look. "Just because I allowed you and your mother to live under my roof doesn't make you part of the Algernon family. You better know your place." She then turned her gaze back to Aidan. "My son, talk to your mother.” Aidan freed himself from his mother's grasp and took a deep breath. "How are we going to survive this?" Cruzita frantically exclaimed. "Our company can't afford to collapse." "Don't worry, mother," Wally reassured. "What are we going

While Karina looked different in the photo, it was still best for her to be honest with Gina about her past with Aidan. Letting out a sigh, she admitted, "Yes, that was me six years ago.""So...were you in a relationship with Aidan?""He was my ex-husband. He used me, cheated on me, and then discarded me like trash. I was left alone with no one to turn to." Karina fought back tears. "I do not want anyone to know about our past, Gina."Gina understandingly nodded. "Your secret is safe with me. But this photo...don't you think the whole world knows that you were once Aidan's ex-wife?""I believe only a few unrelated individuals are aware," Karina replied."How is that possible?""Our relationship was kept private back then. No one knew that I was his wife. And honestly, I prefer it that way now.""Good. He did you wrong, and I understand why you reacted the way you did. Do not worry."Karina nodded, but her brows furrowed as she sensed someone at the door."Do you think someone is out t

Turning her attention to the watch in Wally's hand, Karina remarked, "Poor Wally. Neither you nor your mother can afford that watch at the moment.” Wally let out an exasperated sigh, feeling embarrassed. "However, for old times' sake, allow me to do you a favor. You can have the watch, Wally," Karina offered, trying to be generous. Wally's face lit up with a hint of gratitude. Feeling humiliated, Cruzita told her daughter to put the watch back. "Mother, I can't," Wally adamantly refused. Cruzita shot a piercing glare at Karina and spat, "Get off your high horse, Karina. You still look just as common and inelegant as you did six years ago," she grumbled. "And don't you dare try to do us any favors. I have the means to provide for my daughter's needs." Karina shrugged and leaned back against the counter, a smug grin spreading across her face as she waited for a response. Compelled by Wally's resolute determination, Cruzita stepped aside, the urgency of the situation engulfing her

A week later, Aidan sat lost in thought in his office, the weight of the world seemingly resting on his shoulders. The door creaked open, and Raymond, his close friend and top worker at A.G Group, entered, placing a file on Aidan's desk. "What's up, man?" Aidan turned to face him, his expression grimacing as he noticed the file. With reluctance, Raymond spoke, "There seems to be fire on the mountain, Aidan." Aidan's brow creased in concern as he reached for the file. "Check the report," Raymond continued, his tone serious. Aidan took the file and began to flip through it, his eyes scanning the contents with growing frustration. Finally, he tossed the file angrily onto his desk. "Damn," he groaned, rubbing his temples in frustration. "How the heck is this happening?" Raymond sighed heavily, his gaze sympathetic. "Honestly, the company's value is slowly depreciating. Some of our partners are pulling out their investments and selling shares for peanuts. Aidan, you need to get on your

The atmosphere was charged with a mixture of dread and desperate hope, a battle of wills playing out in the room.The men appeared, one of them carrying Sophie on his shoulder as she squirmed and cried. Karina called out desperately, "Sophie! Sophie!"Anita's expression turned concerned as she watched the scene unfold, her eyes flickering between Karina and Sophie. “I’m doing you the honors because I’m a mother too. Use this moment well and say goodbye properly to your daughter.” She signaled to the man, who dropped Sophie down and the other went and untied Karina. The little girl ran to Karina, her face tear-streaked and trembling.“Mommy, I missed you,” Sophie cried, trembling.Karina managed a smile through her tears, cuddling her daughter tightly.“Don’t worry, darling. I’m here. Nothing will happen to you.” She scanned Sophie’s face, then shot an angry look at Anita. “Why does my daughter look like this? What have you been doing to her?!”Anita shrugged nonchalantly. “Just keep

Karina watched with teary, weary eyes as Anita paced impatiently. Lucas stood nearby, his face a mask of frustration. Juliana returned, her face pale as she informed them that Lilly was ready.Lucas sneered at Anita. “Where are your men? They should’ve been here by now.”“They’re coming. They should be—” She was cut off by a knock on the door.Anita took a step forward, but Lucas stopped her with a raised hand. He went to open the door and returned with two burly men in tow.“What the heck kept you guys?” Anita snapped.“Sorry, ma’am. Traffic was a nightmare,” one of the men apologized.Anita hissed. “Fine. Lucas, they’ll go get Sophie now.”Lucas nodded, watching them head upstairs before turning his gaze back to Karina, who was sobbing and staring at him with a mix of sorrow and betrayal.“Lucas, I never thought you could do this to me,” she choked out, her voice trembling with a mix of desperation and heartbreak.He leaned forward, feigning remorse. “I’m sorry, love. You know I ha

Anita asked, tensed, “What are we going to do?”“Tie her up!” Lucas commanded. He dragged a chair and placed Karina on it, securing her tightly with ropes. “Where are your guys who are supposed to take Sophie to the facility?” he grumbled.“They are on their way,” Anita muttered, nervously glancing at Karina.Lilly appeared, her eyes widening in horror as she saw Karina, who was now bleeding from the head. “Mommy, what happened to Aunt Karina?”Lucas flicked his gaze at the girl, snarling, “Ugh, this girl. Take her to her room and get her ready, Mother!”Juliana quivered and walked to Lilly. “Let’s go, my dear,” she said softly, leading Lilly upstairs as Lucas continued tying Karina to the chair.In the Everhardt mansion, Aidan walked into the house. “Where’s Karina?” he asked Gina.“She went to the office about 30 minutes ago,” Gina replied.He nodded and turned to leave but stopped as Georgia walked in with some files in her hands. “Georgia, have you seen Karina?” he quickly asked.

Aidan and Karina arrived at the Everhardt mansion, the tension palpable between them. Aidan got out of his car and quickly walked up to her, his tone urgent. "Karina, I think we should inform Inspector Kai."Her eyes widened in surprise. "No. We shouldn't.""What? Why?" Aidan asked, bewildered."Lucas is no fool," Karina explained, her voice steady but tense. "He might have figured that I didn't just come to his family's house looking for him. I'm sure Anita told him already that she saw me at the hospital, and then he figured out that he messed up by lying to me twice."Aidan shook his head in frustration. "So, what are we going to do? Stay calm when Sophie's earring was lying in their house?"She sighed deeply, struggling to keep her composure. "Aidan, we shouldn't react impulsively. Lucas shouldn't think that I'm suspecting him."Aidan eyed her with concern. "Are you scared of him or what?""I'm just considering the odds and possibilities now. What if… my daughter is in that house

Karina answered it, faking her cheerful voice. "Hello, Lucas.""Hi, Karina. Uh, sorry but you can't see Anita or Lilly."Her brows creased. "What? Why?""They left the country. They went to Switzerland.""But you said we could have dinner with them, Lucas.""Yes, I had no idea they left. I just called my mom and she told me about it."She nodded. "So, when did they leave?""Last night, yeah."She nodded. "Okay. It's fine. Let's talk later." She ended the call and groaned. "He lied again."Aidan asked, "What happened?""I saw Anita and Lilly less than an hour ago, and he said they left last night," she concluded.Aidan's expression turned grim. "He's definitely hiding something, Karina.""I feel so too. I need to go over to his family's house.""I'm coming with you.""But you're going to stay outside and hide. Paraventure Lucas shows up, he shouldn't see you."He agreed, and they left. Aidan followed Karina's car as she drove to the Salvatore Mansion.When Karina arrived, she placed so

The air in the room shifted, charged with a new, tense energy.Lucas's face darkened, his jaw clenched tightly."Karina?" he muttered, half to himself, half to Amira. The intimacy between him and Amira shattered instantly, replaced by a complicated mix of fear, guilt, and anger.Amira pulled back slightly, her eyes wide with surprise and worry. “What do we do?" she whispered, her voice trembling.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. "Stay quiet," he ordered, his tone leaving no room for argument. He disentangled himself from Amira, his expression hardening as he prepared to face whatever was waiting for him on the other side of the door.Lucas started heading to the door and halted. He spun and gestured at Amira to go hide somewhere. She quickly grabbed her clothes and ran off, her footsteps light as she disappeared into another room. He exhaled deeply, trying to steady himself."Lucas, are you there…?" Karina's voice was tinged with impatience."Uh, I'm coming!" he ca

Anita held Lilly’s hand tightly as they walked into an examining room in an extinguished hospital owned by the Algernon family. She had brought Lilly for a discreet proper checkup. She had been meticulous in ensuring this visit would be confidential, preparing for the upcoming transplant surgery. After the doctor had thoroughly examined Lilly, they all returned to his office, a tense silence hanging in the air.The doctor sat behind his desk, looking over Lilly’s charts before raising his eyes to Anita."So, Mrs. Anita, when is Lilly scheduled for the transplant?"Anita forced a smile, her mind racing for a believable answer. "We’re taking her to England for the transplant. A hospital there has found a suitable donor."The doctor frowned, clearly puzzled. "England? Which hospital, if you don't mind me asking? We need to transfer her medical records and ensure they have all the necessary information."Anita’s responses became increasingly evasive. "It's a private facility. They’ve as

Soon, Amira matched Lucas’s vigor, her enthusiasm doubling his pleasure. He growled and moaned, “Good girl, keep going.” She finished, then licked him from his V-line up to his chest, biting his nipples. Lucas groaned, his body tensing with the mix of pleasure and pain.“You’re not scared of me?” he muttered hoarsely.Amira smiled naughtily. “Why would I be? I know you won’t kill me.”He nodded, kissing her forehead. “I won’t. You're just different.” They started kissing passionately, their lips moving in a synchronized dance of lust and dominance. She asked between breaths, “How?”He chuckled, pulling back to look at her. “Everyone considers me a monster.”They locked gazes, Amira’s eyes piercing into his as she smirked. “We’re alike. Raymond used to be someone special to me before. I loved and adored him.” Her tone turned flat and callous. “But I killed him.”Lucas grinned. “I’m not like you, darling. I don’t kill the ones I love. Only those who give me trouble.”She started care
