Hearing Duke's words, everyone began to tremble with anger. Nancy was the angriest of them all. "What did you just say? Are you really out of your mind now? Remember, Duke, a dwarf, can never touch the moon in the sky. So, don't even try. Do you think we are going to accept anything you say just because Mr. Winters had chosen you to sign the contract? Then is answer is no. Never" Nancy shouted angrily. She wanted to drag Duke out of the house right now. How dare he ask for a 15% share of Sullivan Company?". The sole heir of this company is my son, Jonathan. No one can own a share here except my son. I would never let anyone else be" Nancy thought and clenched her fits in anger. "Nancy is right. It's impossible to give you 15%. How dare you demand a 15% share? Don't forget your place, Duke" Jackson growled angrily. Jonathan was very angry but he didn't say anything. Hunter was listening to everything in silence. His facial expressions were hard. He was looking at Duke with kil
Stella was waiting for her man at a coffee shop. She was getting more and more impatient as time went on. She was looking at the clock from time to time. She was very worried when she saw Lilly in a devastated state yesterday. She was shocked when Lilly told her that someone was trying to blackmail her. And that the person had some unflattering pictures and video clips of her. She had wanted to take action against the man last night, but later, she thought, what photos and video clips of Lilly did the person have? Lilly was so afraid of him that she was asking for her help. Lilly never did this before. And that is what made Stella more worried. What happened this time that Lilly asked for her help? What was in that picture and video clip? So she asked a reliable person of her to investigate everything. Before taking any action against the man she wanted to know everything. Today that person was supposed to come to this coffee shop to meet her. "Why isn't he coming yet? Is he dead
Lelia stirred restlessly in her sleep. She was having a nightmare. She found herself in the middle of a dark forest. She heard a terrible voice behind her. The man was calling her. He was asking her to stop. The man was ordering her to give up and surrender to him. Lelia was frightened and panicked. She started running. She was running for her life, and the man was chasing her. Lelia had no idea who the man was, why he was chasing her, or what she was doing in this dark forest. She only felt that something dark was chasing her with the intention of killing her. The man wants to kill her. She couldn't see his face but she could feel the man's presence behind her. He was coming closer. He wanted her. He was howling like an animal. As if he was very hungry and angry. Lelia felt that the person would not stop hunting her until the man caught her. Lelia was calling out to Duke to save her in her mind. She saw the dark shadow approaching her. He was so close to catching her. Lelia screame
Lelia took a shower and came out of the washroom.She got dressed, stood in front of the mirror, and applied light makeup on her face. As she grabbed her bag to leave the room, her phone rang.She picked up the phone from the table and saw that it was her father's call.Lelia immediately answered the phone. David spoke up from the other side, "How are you, Lelia?""I am fine, Dad. How are you and mom? How is her condition now?" Lelia asked her Dad. She wanted to visit her Mother to check her condition, but thinking about the situation, she stopped. "Your Mother is now perfectly healthy. The doctor will discharge her tomorrow. Lelia I have sent you the new home address. Can you pack up the things from the previous house? I wanted to pack things but I had an urgent work to do. As your Mother is going to be discharged tomorrow, I need to decorate the new apartment today," David told her. He didn't want to send his daughter there, but after leaving the Williams Mansion, he decided to l
When the cold sea breeze hit Lelia's body she looked at the sea out the window. It used to be her favorite coffee shop. It is located next to the sea. From where she could enjoy the beauty of the sea. When she was in a relationship with Liam, they would often come to this coffee shop and sit at the table by the window where she could see the sea. But today, she couldn't enjoy the beauty of the sea. She just sat quietly. Liam was surprised to see her sitting so quietly and without enjoying the sea. He thought she would be very happy to come here to her favorite coffee shop. But Liam did not see any happiness on Lelia's face. She sat quietly as if she had been brought here by force. Liam smiled to lighten her mood and said, "What do you want to drink, Lelia? Shall I order your favorite cold coffee for you?" Lelia looked at him with disgust and said, "I am not here to date you. Say what was the important thing you wanted to say so badly." "Lelia, cold coffee is your favorite so I w
Duke was sitting in his car reading business news on the way to the office. He was intently reading the stock market news when his phone rang. Duke folded the newspaper and placed it on the side seat, then took the phone out of his pocket. He saw that it was his secretary Mark's call. As Duke answered the call, Mark respectfully said from the other end of the phone, "Sir, you have to attend an urgent meeting right now. The client is waiting for you at Lavana Restaurant." "What meeting are you talking about? I didn't have a meeting on my schedule this morning?" Duke asked him. "Sir the meeting was supposed to be in the afternoon. But our client says that due to a problem with his company, he has to fly back to Switzerland this afternoon. He is repeatedly requesting to hold the meeting now. Your presence at the meeting is very important. I cannot handle this meeting without you. So, please attend the meeting." Mark requested him. "Alright. I am heading to Lavana Restaurant to att
When the car stopped in front of Knight Corporation, Duke got out of the car and went straight to Xavier's office. Xavier was working on a weapon design when someone barged into his cabin. He looked up immediately in anger as he had forbidden everyone to enter his cabin because he was working on something important. Xavier was ready to fire whatever the person was. But when he looked up he saw Duke was standing at the door. Duke came in and sat on a sofa. When Xavier saw his friend sitting on a sofa, he revealed a wide smile and asked playfully, “Has the sun risen from the wrong side today? Mr. Winters is here instead of working in his office. Oh my, what brings you here today, Mr. Winters? Are you here to see me, my friend?” Xavier knows that his friend is not the kind of person who would skip work and meet him. Work is most important to Duke. He works on holidays or even when he is sick. Everyone calls him a workaholic for this. And that man came to his office after skipping
"Lilly, please calm down, my dear. Please Listen to me." Stella tried to calm her daughter, who was acting like a mad person. Lilly was smashing everything in her room like a madwoman. Her hair was a mess. Lilly was tearing her own hair in anger."Calm down! How can I calm down? Don't you see what Lelia did to me? She took Liam away from me. Liam left me for that bitch. And you are here telling me to come down." Lilly shouted in anger. Stella was shocked to hear this. She had no idea what Lilly was saying. When she came home from shopping, a maid informed her that Liam had come to visit Lilly a little ago. And after a, while Liam stormed off in, anger and sinc,e then Lilly has been screaming and breaking things in her room.The servant also told her that she had tried to stop Lilly but Lilly tried to throw things at her. So she was forced to come out of Lilly's room.Stella was scared to hear this. Fear began to build in her mind that Liam knew everything. But how will he know that I
They seem to be trying their best to trap each other with some purpose. According to the bodyguard, Jonathan has already succeeded in controlling Lilly. He is giving Lilly expensive gifts to subdue her," Xavier said. "I know this news too," Duke said."Do you want to wait until they get married? Of course, once they get married, they will be punished appropriately," Xavier said."That is what I want to do. Let them soar in the sky for a while. When they think they have everything and they are above everyone, then I will drag them down. I will bring them down in such a way that they will not find a place to put their feet," Duke said. Just then, Stanley entered the room. "Xavier, Amelia has been discharged. She went home with Lelia," Stanley said and Xavier nodded.Hearing Stanley's words, Duke stood up from his seat and said, "I have an urgent meeting in my office. I will come back after the meeting.""You don't need to come here. Amelia insisted that she stay with me. She will be h
Hearing her words, Xavier smiled softly. Amelia looked at Xavier and said, "One minute why are you asking me about Lelia? Do not try to make a move on her. She is a very good girl. I won't tolerate anything bad against her. Lelia told me that you flirted with her in the shopping mall. I am warning you don't mess with her. She is not the type of girl you are thinking. She is loyal to her husband and loves her husband very much.""I flirted with your friend to see if she is loyal to her husband. I didn't have any bad intentions," Xavier said and bit his tongue. "Why would you flirt with Lelia to see if she is loyal to her husband or not? By any chance do you know her husband? What is your relationship with her husband?" Amelia asked Xavier, confusingly."How can I know her husband? I heard she was married. So I was flirting with her simply to see if she was loyal to her husband or not? I don't know her husband. Forget all this; tell me, did the doctor say when he would discharge you?"
"Dad, I do not know what dirty tricks that bastard Duke played on Mr Winters for that Mr Winters believes whatever nonsense he spits before him, but I will find out this soon. I will make Mr. Winters hate that bastard just like we hated him. I will make sure of it. Just watch and see" Jonathan gritted his teeth in anger and utter. He really hated the fact someone liked Duke over him. "Do you think it is easy to do what you are trying to do? Do you think your Grandfather and I haven't tried that method? We have tried our best to convince Mr. Winters that Duke is a horrible, evil man and a murderer. We have tried our best to show him how bad is Duke. We tried so hard to convince him that Duke brutally murdered his own Mother, but Mr. Winters wouldn't listen to us. He thinks we lied and that Duke was innocent. He thinks we wronged Duke and that Duke served ten years in prison for no reason. Mr. Winters it is not someone whom you can easy convince to believe something. The thing you are
Duke didn't say anything and just stared at the card. Seeing that Duke didn't answer to the question, Stanley put his hand on Duke's shoulder and said again, "Duke, what happened? Is this Lelia's number?""Yes, this is Lelia's phone number", Duke whispered and looked at the nurse. "Did the girl say she would come to the hospital?""Yes, the girl said she would be at the hospital in half an hour," The nurse said. Hearing the nurse's words, Duke looked at Stanley and said, "If Lelia comes to the hospital and sees me, she will be suspicious. I have to leave here before she comes to the hospital""I can't let you go home in this condition. Let's go to my penthouse" Stanley said. Duke nodded his head without saying anything. Stanley checked Xavier's condition once more and appointed three security guards outside of the room then left from there. After a while, Lelia arrived there. Lelia entered the room and was shocked to see Amelia's condition. "Sister, what happened to her? How did she
"Amelia, listen to me carefully; this is not the time to act like a crazy person. I am talking very seriously. If you stay with me, your life will be at risk. At any time, wild animals can come and attack when they smell blood. You will die if you stay with me. So don't be crazy, and stay here, I will go the other way. I promise you Duke and Stanley will come to save you. Just hide well," Xavier said, and Amelia grabbed his shirt collar as he tried to get up to leave."I have told you before and I am again telling you for the last time, no matter what, we will be together. If it is written in our destiny to go back alive from here, then we will go back alive together and if it is written in our destiny to die here, then we will die together. I will not let the man who took the bullet for me go away from me because of the fear of death. Yes, I am afraid of death, but I am not selfish. Whenever you will go, I will follow you," Amelia said in a strong voice.Xavier understood that Amelia
"Why did you have to go through so much trouble to get army training? You are not an army officer, so why did you go through so much trouble to get army special training?" Amelia asked him confusingly."To survive," Xavier replied making her shocked. "What did you just say? What do you mean by that? Why do you have to go through army training to survive? What is the relationship between army training and survival?" Amelia asked him in surprise."Do fight against the situation we are in right now" Xavier replied casually. "Did you mean someone tried to harm you before?" Amelia asked him."Do you think this is the first time someone has tried to kill me?" Xavier replied with a soft smile and picked him up with his stick and threw it into the water."What? What did you say? Does that mean they had attacked before to kill you? Why did you not report them to the police?" Amelia asked in a panicked voice."Do you think I just keep a group of security guards and a pistol with me for no rea
"What are you saying? What do you mean by I can quit my job? Have you forgotten that I came to work in your office for six months? If I quit my job six months ago, our Family will suspect us. I can not do it," Amelia said. She didn't know why, but she felt offended when Xavier told her she could quit her job."Your life will be at risk if you stay with me. The farther you are from me, the safer you will be. I never want anyone else to be in danger because of me. You don't have to think about our Family. I will handle everything," Xavier said and looked at the bullets he had taken out of his body. A sly smile appeared on Xavier's face as he looked at the bullets.Seeing Xavier laughing, Amelia was surprised and said, "How can you laugh in this situation? Why are you laughing? We are trapped in a big danger. What is there to laugh about here?"Xavier spoke up fisting the bullets in his hand, "They are using the bullets I made to kill me. It is amazing that the bullets I made for the pro
"Boss, everyone is here," Mark spoke up.Duke went to the divers and said, "Don't come in front of me until we find Xavier and Amelia.""Don't worry, sir. We won't stop until we find them. We will come out of the water after we find them," The divers said and started preparing to go down to the ocean."Send search team everywhere" Duke ordered Mark. Mark nodded and started working."Duke, I will go with you. Take me with you. I will look for my son with you," Xavier's Father requested. "Uncle, you don't have to worry. We will find Xavier and come back quickly. Xavier is definitely alive and waiting for us. You need to stay here. Stanley and I will go find him," Duke said.Even after listening, Xavier's Father couldn't calm down. He kept insisting on taking him with them. "Uncle, trust us. Xavier is okay. He is not going to give up that easily. We will come back soon. Xavier will be very worried if he sees you in a devastated condition. You wait here for us," Stanley said and looked a
After finishing their meal, everyone left the house. Amelia talked to Lelia for some time then she also left.When Amelia came out of the building she saw Xavier was leaning against his car doing something on his phone. Amelia passed by him silently and she was about to get into the car when Xavier grabbed her hand."What happened? Why are you stopping me? Do you want to say something?" she asked Xavier."Get in my car. I will drop you home. It is quite late. It is not safe for you to go alone" Xavier told her. Amelia frowned at him and pulled her hand away from Xavier's grips and spoke up, "Thank you for your concern, but there is no need for that. I can go home from here alone the way I came here alone. I don't need your help. I have my car with me and I know how to drive very well. You don't need to worry about me.""It is good that you know how to drive, but I have to worry about you because your Father left you here in my care. I can't leave you alone at night. My security guard
