Stephen on the other hand was looking for Elizabeth in his own way. He was so worried about her. He didn't rest a bit until he found her. There was a bloodbath at Evelyn's dorm.“How dare she hurt you. I will kill that bitch!” Stephen gritted in anger as he hugged her.Just then, Evelyn staggered into the room as she held her stomach. When bullets were flying everywhere, she hid somewhere, but unfortunately one bullet hit her stomach. She was so fucking angry that her plans will be ruined because of Stephen. She will not die alone. She must take both Stephen and Elizabeth with her.With all her strength she picked a gun and staggered towards the room where Elizabeth is and shot Stephen at his back, straight to his heart. Elizabeth gasped as Stephen groaned. Evelyn wanted to shoot him again, but he beat her to it and shot her three times straight to her heart. Unfortunately, Evelyn was also able to fire a gun at that moment to his heart. They both fell on the floor.“Stephen.” Elizabet
“Doctor please save my baby.” Annabelle cried in pain. Her lower abdomen hurt, and the excruciating pain was tearing her apart. “I'm sorry, Mrs. Presley, we can't carry on with the operation without the blood transfusion,” the doctor politely explained for the umpteenth time. “Just start with the operation. Richard will be here very soon. He can't leave his child to die,” Annabelle whispered in pain. She felt as if her whole body was on fire. She just wants this pain to go away. She knew that Richard didn't love her nor care about her, but he couldn't be heartless enough to leave his child to die. He promised to give his blood to her in order to save their child. She has known Richard for three years, and he always keeps to his promise. He can't change now, not in this crucial moment. “The operation was scheduled around 7am. It is past eight already. We tried contacting Mr. Presley, but we couldn't reach him, I'm afraid he might not come,” the doctor said. “No, he will come. He
Annabelle slowly opened her eyes, her head hurts a lot. She groaned as she tried sitting up but couldn't. Her whole body aches, especially her lower abdomen. It was as if all the pain in her body was centered there. Her hand moved to her stomach and something hit her mind….. her child. Her belly is flat, nothing is in there…. Where is her baby?It was like magic…. The way all the pains in her body disappeared as she jumped from the bed and removed the drip. She staggered as she looked around the room, searching for her baby. A nurse walked in and screamed in worry. “Mrs. Presley, you can't move from your bed. You haven't fully recovered.” The nurse quickly rushed towards her and tried to lead her to the bed but she jerked away from her grip. “Where is my baby, I can't find her.” Her voice was shallow, showing that her body was still weak and needed a good rest. “You need to calm down first Mrs. Presley. This is for your health.” The nurse was still adamant to safely take her to th
When Annabelle woke up, she saw Evelyn Presley, her mother in-law and a slender beautiful lady. Annabelle was disappointed that she was still alive. She thought she'd died. There was nothing to live for, why didn't they let her die. Seeing Evelyn doesn't make things better. This woman has always hated her and made her life a living hell. Well, not just her but every member of the Presley family. They all treat her as a slave instead of a daughter-in-law. They constantly remind her that she's an orphan and no matter how badly they treat her, there is nothing she can do. She has no one to turn to. Annabelle has no one…. No parents, no relatives. The only family she has doesn't love her. And the only man that she has ever loved hates her. Everyone thought she was living like a queen in the Presley family. No one knew she had been living in hell. The old Mr. Presley, the only member of the Presley family who has always loved Annabelle and always stood up for her, has been in a coma fo
Five years later….Richard Presley sat in his office with a photo frame he'd vowed not to ever look at, but his heart always betrayed him. It's been five years already, but he has still not gotten over her. He'd supposed to hate her for what she did. He hates himself for still thinking about her after all these years. He was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard some unusual noise outside his spacious office. In the next few seconds, the door was forcefully opened as his secretary and Miss Anita Hernandez matched into the office. His secretary, Nancy, was trying to stop Anita, but the billionaire heiress was too stubborn. “I'm sorry, Mr. Presley, I tried stopping her,” Nancy quickly explained. She wouldn't let her boss think that she didn't do her job well. Richard had earlier instructed her that she shouldn't let anyone in. He needed some private time. Nancy tried acting on the instruction, but Anita was not someone she could easily handle.“It's okay, Nancy, you can leave,” Rich
Richard was so angry that he couldn't concentrate at work. He went to his favorite club, a place he often goes at night to get drunk and stop thinking about Annabelle for a second. Though the alcohol helps sometimes, it's just for the night. Richard has only one friend, Noah, and he is not in the city at the moment. Noah is his drinking mate, and he misses him. Though Noah can be a pain in the ass sometimes, he is still the only one who understands Richard the most and tolerates his stubborn and unbearable behavior. Noah was also the one that made him realize his love for Annabelle, though his pride wouldn't let him show the love to her. He wanted to believe that Annabelle behaved the way she did because of the way he treated her, but he definitely treated her well the last few months of their marriage, especially when she was pregnant. Though he couldn't express his love directly, he still made her feel it one way or the other. He didn't realize how much he loved her until he lost
Richard slowly opened his eyes. His head hurts a lot. He held it with his hand as he tried to sit up from the bed. He tried recounting what had happened but his mind was blank. He looked around the room and wasn't familiar with it. Where is he? He tried to search his mind to know how he got here, but his head hurts a lot. “You are awake?” He was startled with the voice he heard from behind. The voice is melodious and alluring. He quickly turned and his eyes met with a beautiful lady with milky pale skin. She has a white towel wrapped around her chest. The towel barely covered her upper thigh, revealing her sexy long legs. The lady looks damn beautiful with her killer curvy stature. Richard didn't know when he got lost staring at the beauty in front of him until her voice snapped him out. “You seem hungry for me, Mr. Presley.” Richard quickly takes his eyes away and tries to swallow the embarrassment. He is someone that hardly shows his feelings. He put on his stoic expression a
Her last sentence caught Richard's attention. Is she crazy or what? What made her think that he would marry someone like her? “You must be nuts,” Richard said sternly. “Listen, I'm not ready for your stupid games. If you don't tell me how I got here and what you gave me last night, that made me forget what happened. I will call the police on you.” Well, Richard knows that he doesn't need police. His men can handle this lady. He is the law himself. He just said that for saying sake. The lady chuckled sarcastically as she flipped her hair. “Calm down, Mr. Presley. There is no need to involve the police. This is something we can settle amicably. You just need to cooperate.” “You are definitely insane.” Richard snapped. He doesn't need to waste his time with someone so below him. His men will handle her. She probably drugged him last night, and it seems she's trying to blackmail him. If only she knew that he's far beyond blackmailing. It seemed like she only knew the name Richard P
Stephen on the other hand was looking for Elizabeth in his own way. He was so worried about her. He didn't rest a bit until he found her. There was a bloodbath at Evelyn's dorm.“How dare she hurt you. I will kill that bitch!” Stephen gritted in anger as he hugged her.Just then, Evelyn staggered into the room as she held her stomach.

Evelyn slapped Elizabeth hard across her cheeks as anger was rolling off her in waves.“I am not a worthless mother! I was the best mother to Richard, I gave him everything!” She snapped as she forcefully held Elizabeth's cheeks, her nails digging into her flesh. “I will not die. 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. She won't break in front of Evelyn and give her that satisfaction.“You are acting fierce, huh? Why don't we spice things up. I will make you suffer so much before I finish you of
One week later…..The breaking news on the internet was the sudden death of Anita and Evelyn's escape from the prison. The police are investigating the two cases. Many people are assuming that maybe Evelyn escaped to kill Anita.Richard employs guards that will escort Elizabeth anywhere that she wants to go. He's sure that Evelyn's target will be Elizabeth. Elizabeth's relationship with Richard has improved. She gave the Presley corporation back to him and took her former position as the CFO of the company. Even though Richard refused to take the company back because he thinks that he doesn't deserve it after what he made her go through. But she persuaded him to take it. He is the rightful owner of the Presley corporation.She has also forgiven Stephen. She can't be angry with him for too long. What she didn't know is that Stephen is in love with her. He's angry that she went back to Richard. His hatred for Richard doubled and what he ever wanted was to get rid of him. Elizabeth had
Stephanie told Elizabeth that Richard was also a victim. He got into a car accident the day he was rushing to come to the hospital and save his child. The accident was caused by Anita. Evelyn knew about it, but kept quiet because it helped in her plans. She told Elizabeth everything she was supposed to know about what happened five years ago.After she was done. Tears have already filled Elizabeth's eyes. All these years, she hated Richard and blamed him for the death of their child, but the truth was that he was also a victim. Anita and Evelyn were the two monsters that ruined their life. They made her hate Richard and also made Richard hate her by telling countless lies. It looks like Richard has known the truth. That was why he was drinking so much at the bar that night. It must be why he said that his mum wouldn't mind putting him in harm's way for her selfish gain. For goodness sake, Evelyn is not a human. She deserves more than the punishment she's getting now. She and Anita d
When Jeffery stabbed Elizabeth and left the house. With her last strength she left the house and went to the road. She fainted and someone took her to the hospital. Fortunately it was Stephen that found her. She has already lost a lot of blood and she doesn't even want to fight to live. She has given up on life.On her deathbed, she told Annabelle and Stephen what Jeffery did to her and her family. She begged them to help her make Jeffery pay for what he did to her family. Annabelle was so angry with herself that she couldn't protect the people that helped her and showed her love. She promised Elizabeth that she would find Jeffery and make him pay.Annabelle's plan was to change her face since it is already damaged and come back for her revenge with a new face. But Elizabeth gave her her own face. She also gave her her identity. So when she died. They buried her secretly so that the few people that knew her will believe that she's alive when Annabelle will step out with her face.Aft
“You have been deceiving me all these years. You made me believe that you are a good person. 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. I was desperately in need of money and Anita manipulated me with it. Forgive me, please,” Stephen said as a single tear fell down his cheeks. He's someone that hardly cries but he doesn't want Elizabeth to push him out of her life.“You felt guilty?” Elizabeth looked up at him with puffy eyes. “How dare you feel guilty after destroying someone's life. You don't have the right to feel guilty!”She suddenly stood up and turned her back on Stephen. “Get out. I don't want to see you near this house or anywhere around me.” Saying those words brought so much pain to her heart. Stephen is a very important person in her life. He's her best friend, her family, he means a lot to her. Not having him in her life, it wil
It was anita. She wrote her name at the end of the message. Why did she send this to her? Isn't she supposed to be in the mental hospital because she's mentally ill. And what the fuck does she mean by happy in a picture with the man that killed you. Is she trying to say that Stephen was the one that killed her five years ago? She's mentally ill indeed. Stephen didn't kill her. He literally saved her. If not for him, she wouldn't be here today. He saved her and gave her a new life. She took her bag and rushed out of her office. An office she has dreamt to be hers and it is finally hers.She rushed outside the building straight to the parking lot. She met her driver and took the keys from him. She drove straight to the mental home where Anita is confined. How dare she try to play this game with her? She's going to teach her a lesson. When she arrived at the mental home. She went through several questions and her patience nearly ran thin. Finally she was allowed to meet Anita. She ente
It's been two days since the night Elizabeth met Richard drunk in the bar. She has been trying to get herself busy with work and not think about him, but it wasn't working at all. She wants to know how he is doing. This feeling is making her so angry. What has Richard done to her? Why does it seem that she suddenly forgot all the pain he'd cause her. Was the few months he showed her love enough to erase the pain he caused her for three years. Besides, he loved Elizabeth and not Annabelle. If he had known that she was Annabelle, he wouldn't have shown her all that love.Despite all she did not go to the workers quarters, she still found herself there with an excuse that she's there to visit the old Mr. Presley. The first person she bumped into was Richard. It was as if the heavens wanted them to meet.Due to the force they collided with each other. Elizabeth was about to fall down but Richard was fast to catch her. He held her tiny waist as they stared into each other's eyes. They mi
It is Ashley Westford, Raymond's younger sister who is married to Mike Westford, one of the richest men in the UK. Ashley was so furious when she heard of what happened to her family. Raymond told her everything, how Elizabeth took everything from them. What Raymond wants is to definitely get on his feet. Being poor is not for him. The only person he could turn to is his sister. Though not in the country, he believes she will help him.“And who are you?” Elizabeth asked. “I am Ashley Westford Presley,” Ashley replied. So she is Raymond's younger sister. She barely visits the Presley mansion, that is why Elizabeth doesn't know her. It is usually her daughter, Angelina that visits always.“What are you doing in my house, Ashley Westford Presley? I do not remember inviting you here,"Elizabeth said sarcastically.Ashley stomped her feet in anger as she matched towards her but Stephen stood in her way. She glared at him and then at Elizabeth. “This is the Presleys mansion. It belongs to
