“Elizabeth, it's a good thing that you are here. I was even about to ask one of the maids to go up to your room and call you,” Evelyn said as she walked into the kitchen and met Elizabeth who was trying to get a bottle of water from the fridge.

Elizabeth faked a smile as she closed the fridge after picking a bottle of water. “Wow! Should I be excited that you seek my presence,mum?”

“Maybe you should.” Evelyn also faked a smile. “Well, I just want you to perform the important family ritual that is always done by the daughter-in-laws of this family.”

“Does that mean you have accepted me as the daughter-in-law?”

“Don't be too excited because you don't know when all these will end.” Evelyn smirked.

“Unfortunately it just began, mum. Something that just began will definitely take time to end or probably will not end.” Elizabeth replied with a sarcastic smile.

Evelyn smirk dropped, she closed the distance between them. “I will advise you, Elizabeth, not to play with fire. It is a dan

    “What the fuck is this?! I said I like bad alcohol and not bad food.” Natasha cursed as she gestured to the maid to bring her a bottle of alcohol. That's the only thing that can help in this situation. “Why the heck did you serve us poison in the name of food.” Raymond snapped, shooting an angry glare at Elizabeth who looked unperturbed. “Fuck!” Andrew went for a juice. Well, he has never seen a pretty girl who knows how to cook. Elizabeth won't be an exception. “Who the fuck even asked you to cook!” Richard looks so angry. One thing he hates is someone ruining his taste bud with bad food. The cooks in the Presley mansion know too well to be very careful while cooking the food Richard eats. One mistake will lead to losing your job. “Mum asked me to cook.” Elizabeth replied nonchalantly. She wasn't even bothered that everyone spat out the food, claiming that it is bad. “It was a tradition. If you didn't know how to cook, you should have told me.” Evelyn cuts in. “If I had told

    It's been one week since Elizabeth turned the table against Evelyn. Everyone was disappointed in Evelyn including Raymond. Evelyn couldn't even say anything, she was so ashamed of herself. Her act was a very childish act. Even Richard was ashamed of his mother's act. He let down his pride and apologized to Elizabeth. The old Mr. Presley thought only his son could be childish, he never thought that his daughter-in-law could be worse. The old Mr. Presley couldn't do anything but just apologize to Elizabeth. He made Evelyn apologize to Elizabeth. Evelyn was so angry, especially when she saw the mocking smile on Elizabeth's face when the old Mr. Presley asked her to apologize. Evelyn didn't want to anger her father-in- law any more, so she swallowed her pride and apologized to Elizabeth. Of course, that apology wasn't from her heart. Her hatred for Elizabeth increased. If not because she has a stupid husband who is so useless, she wouldn't be in that situation. The old Mr. Presley wou

    After the meeting, Elizabeth followed Richard to his office even though he warned her not to. But his stubborn wife will always do as she wanted.“Come on Richie, don't push me away. You need me in a time like this,” she said as she walked over to his seat. She sat on the desk, facing him. “I know how you must feel. You have been away for three days on a business trip and you came back to this. Don't worry, we will figure this out together.”How are they going to figure this out? The launching date is around the corner. How will they create another design in such a short period of time? His head is in turmoil. All he feels right now is anger. Elizabeth made herself comfortable between his legs. Richard looked up to her, he wanted to push her away but couldn't. Why does he feel that he needs her comfort? They have been married for more than two weeks now but that's not enough time to make him start feeling this way towards her. Heck! He started feeling this way the first day they met

    Richard was kissing her like there's no tomorrow. One would notice how long he has yearned to do this. It was like he was trying to make up for all those times that he was trying to kiss her but restrain himself. He cupped the back of her head as he drew her closer, his tongue sucking every inch of her mouth. Why is he suddenly fueled with so much desire that he couldn't control? Could it be for the fact that he missed her for these three days he was on a business trip or the fact that he's trying to pour his anger out because of the company's stolen design. Either way, he just can't control himself right now or get enough of this kiss. The more he kisses her, the more he yearns for the kiss. He pulled her on his lap, pressing their body together. He pressed her so hard on himself as if he wanted her to disappear into him. He groaned as her ass touched his hard bulge. It made him kiss her harder as his hands ran through her back trying to get past the fabric. He wants to run his han

    Richard was confused at what had just happened. He was dumbfounded as he watched Elizabeth run out of his office. What suddenly happened? Isn't this what she wants? Besides, she was enjoying it, and all of a sudden….He looked down at the huge bulge hiding behind his pants as he frowned. How could she run away after causing this big mess? He felt like going to her office to get answers, but he wouldn't want her to get ideas. If she thinks that he's going to beg her for sex, then she's mistaken. He doesn't want her to think that he was greatly aroused by that little make out.He groaned as he throbbed thinking of how hot everything was going…. The taste of her lips…. The softness of her breast and the feel of her skin. Everything lingered in his mind.Fuck!This won't do….. he stood up and walked towards the bathroom in his office. He frowned in anger. He hates doing this. He will surely make her pay for making a mess of him and then run away.…..Richard wanted the launching to procee

    “I told you not to touch my things!” Richard growled as he picked the picture. He noticed the sad and painful look in Elizabeth's eyes, but it vanished immediately. He thought maybe he imagined it.“That wasn't intentional.” she rolled her eyes, thinking that he's overreacting. “I was looking for my red skimpy nightwear. It is my favorite.”“And how does that have to do with my wardrobe.” Richard hissed.“We share the same closet, I thought maybe it's there.” she replied lazily. “ Why the fuck are you even angry? That was just a picture, and it's not like I ruined it. It's still intact.”Richard's eyes flashed in anger as he grabbed her arm recklessly, making her wince slightly. “It is not just a picture! Don't ever come near my things again!” He warned and yanked her off. She nearly fell down but luckily maintained her stamina.“That's your ex-wife, right?” She asked calmly as she rubbed her arm to reduce the pain. There was a red mark left there by his hard grip.His intense gaze g

    Elizabeth gathered herself together and went down for dinner. Before she left the room, she checked her secret phone and as expected she saw a message.‘Everything is moving smoothly.’ The message reads.There's another one. She opened it. ‘When are we going to meet?’She sighed and looked toward the bathroom door. Richard entered there a few seconds ago before she decided to check her phone. She returned her attention to her phone as she typed.‘Soon. Just be patient, and continue with our plan.’After typing and sending the message, she hid the phone and left the room. She walked down the huge spiral stairs and was walking towards the dining room when Natalie blocked her path. Natalie flashed her a cocky smile as she drank from her bottle of wine. Elizabeth tried not to cringe her nose. Natalie always reeks of alcohol even when she's not drinking one. She wonders what's her problem. What pain is she going through, trying to use the alcohol as her reliever? Well, that's none of he

    After dinner, Richard went to his home office. He has a lot of work to do, and he doesn't think if he will even have some sleep tonight. He had worked for about two hours when Elizabeth walked in with a cup of coffee.Richard frowned upon seeing her. He hates what this woman makes him feel. “What are you doing here?” His voice was cold.Elizabeth simply smiled as she dropped the cup of coffee on the table. “I brought you coffee. It will help.”“I don't need it.” Richard replied sarcastically.“You need it. Stop being stubborn. I'm just trying to be a sweet wife.”“Well, you don't have to. Leave with your coffee.”Elizabeth frowned. He is such a stubborn man. She sighed and sat opposite him.“I asked you to leave!”“Why are you so adamant about me leaving? My presence isn't stopping you from working.” She retorted. Suddenly, she smirked and leaned forward, exposing the tip of her cleavage. Richard cursed inwardly and tried not to look. “Is my presence affecting you, Richie? In a way

I will live to make your life miserable. I will show you what a monster can do. I will make you pay for what you did to my sister!”Natasha is still in the mental hospital. Evelyn couldn't see her because of tight security. She believes that Natasha's mental illness was caused by Elizabeth.“You pretend to be a good sister and you didn't even know that your sister was suffering from depression. You are a pathetic psychotic bitch!”PaaPaaPaaPaaThe slap this time came four times. Elizabeth took in the pain and kept a defiant face.

You joined me in fighting those that hurt me whereas you were part of them!” Elizabeth snapped in tears.“I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I regretted what I did, that was why I saved you that night.
