★★★ “We are unable to go with you because Chris is not in good health. But you and Liam could visit us anytime,” Cornell politely declined Liam's grandmother while keeping Chris in mind. It would not be grateful to Chris if he went to Liam's place to spend time disregarding Chris' health. Cornell, no matter how he felt about him, couldn't deny his importance in their lives, so he wanted to be a little respectful and they could always go to Liam's house altar. A dense cloud of discouragement filled Liam's grandmother's eyes as she fixed her attention on Cornell for quite some time before responding, "I understand; you care about your father." A weight instilled a sensation in her that she was unhappy thinking Cornell was not Liam's son. But she was not quite prepared to accept it. "You are welcome to my place whenever you want," she added, taking a big breath and she rose from her seat, "It's becoming late, and I have to get back. I trust you'll enjoy my offerings." Liam's grandma
★★★“There was a doctor there who was the subject of numerous complaints alleging that he had used DNA in some appalling ways and that he was proud of his achievement. He was able to change someone else's DNA.”Jaiden admitted, his gaze fixed on the glass in his fingers. This one notion had been gnawing at him since last night. Despite his efforts to contact many people in that particular hospital, no one was able to provide him with any information on the doctor's whereabouts. Everyone claimed that after being released from prison, the doctor evaporated into thin air.“Do you really think Chris could pull off something like that?”Liam asked inquisitively, his eyes displaying a different excitement as if he had found a justification to expose Chris in front of Jessica, at which point he would waste no time in breaking his hands and legs.“No, it is not a matter of belief; if it were, I would have stayed with the report. I only want to do it for you, but you must guarantee that o
★★★ The room was filled with warm sunlight that filtered through the binds and landed on the bed's edge where her hand was resting. As a result, Jessica opened her eyes and moaned annoyingly. According to Jessica, the morning came rather early. Her eyes still felt heavy to her. When she turned to her side she noticed Cornell sitting there holding his tablet. “What time did you awaken?” she inquired. “Not for long. I have also washed my teeth. The bathroom, by the way, is rather lovely. Chris must have spent a lot of money on such a house," Cornell speculated. “Has nobody arrived to wake us up?" Jessica asked as she left the bed. “Nah, and I discovered that the house was quite silent," Cornell stated. "Maybe everyone is downstairs," Jessica remarked as she entered the lavatory. “Perhaps, no one is home,” Cornell murmured to himself. Chris was seated alone at the breakfast table when Jessica and Cornell showed up, and Ben was nowhere to be seen. “Good morning, Chris! How do you
★★★“I do not work for anyone, so I am not Liam's man. Also, why would he harm his fiancée in this way? I suppose he is the hero who will come here to save you without paying attention to his life... Don't you think he will come?"Vlad grinned as he made the remark on purpose since he found Maggie's shocked expression humorous.As soon as Maggie heard a deep, chilly voice, she forced herself to hold her breath because she felt as though a demon from hell had materialized in front of her to steal her soul after toying with her. She also couldn't control her shaking. The only sensation circulating throughout her body was terror, which made it impossible to gauge how much fear she was feeling.Her pitch wavered as she inquired about, while her tears gave in,"Do you want money? If that is what you are searching for, find my family and call them; otherwise, I cannot help you."“Are you sure your family is rich enough to pay money as per our demand?” Vlad asked as he had taken a plac
★★★ “Stefen Lawrence! He presented this deal to me. I'm not sure how he discovered me, though. A waiter gave me a number in a bar when I was there with some friends. There was a note written below the number which said that if I needed a lot of money, I should call the number, but if I thought about it too long, I would lose it. I felt as if God had heard my prayers and I was unable to cease myself from calling him," Maggie did not hold back when she revealed the identity of the man who had started it all. Although she did not know much about that man, it was not because she had no desire to; rather, her ability to be curious had been curtailed. She was able to find his name, nevertheless. “I have heard he fell victim to an accident and his body has yet to be located.” The wrinkle around Vlad's eyes became deep since the visions had been narrowed heavily, as he continued to coerce Maggie, “That means, he is still alive. If this is the case, I am interested in finding out where h
★★★A text message from Monica appeared on Jessica's phone's notification bar while she was scrolling through it and the text stated that she urgently wanted to see Jessica somewhere.Jessica was aware of the motivation for Monica's desire to visit her because the two had yet to meet following the disaster. Possibly she had taken a break tonight, hence, she had made the decision to meet with her.Jessica immediately responded saying they were on their way to the old house and that she may come to her place.“Mom, approach the fountain. The water drops on my face feel so refreshing,” Cornell yelled as he stuck his head out towards the fountain and water continued splashing in his face, making him smile.“Keep in mind that the Band-Aid on the side of your head will get wet which will eventually cause harm. Since the doctor stated that the cut needs extra time to heal, we have to take proper care of that area; also, moist Band-Aid cause pain to the skin,” Jessica warned her son abou
★★ Jessica and Cornell arrived at the opulent store, which, contrary to what Liam's grandmother had stated earlier, was not in the neighborhood. Each area was lavishly furnished, leaving the sense that you had to be a billionaire to stroll inside this store and buy something. The store manager grew worried once he spotted Elder Grey in the store, who arrived out of the blue, and without informing him. There were people in the store, and it was going to eventually rupture Elder Grey's tranquility. If he had known she was coming, he would have kept the store empty and made special accommodations for her. His glum demeanor obscured the friendly smile he typically wore. Even though he was forcing himself to grin by cracking his lips, only he felt his cheeks spread in a tug. He came before Elder Grey, who had arrived with her visitors. Aside from that, she appeared to be in a pleasant mood because the manager noticed her speaking with a little child beside her who was carefully inspectin
★★★“I fail to grasp it. Is having a birthmark problematic in any way?" Jessica looked puzzled, her gaze locked on the expression of Liam's grandmother. Considering their proximity, she overheard Liam's grandmother whisper, and she sounded both anxious and surprised. It installed an alarm in Jessica's heart, which began drumming in her ribcage.Arnoldo had just arrived with juices and cakes for Cornell and Jessica when he noticed his madam's worried countenance. He quickly rushed out to his madam and said, "What is the issue?"Liam's grandma directed her finger at the back of Cornell, who had been unable to put on his shirt since hearing Liam's grandmother gasp weirdly at his natural birthmark.His mother once took a picture of it and showed it to him. His mother thought it was lovely and liked it. As a result, Liam's grandmother baffled him with the concept of what may be wrong with the basic birthmark.Arnoldo followed the finger that pointed to the child's back, where he saw a
