Chapter 67Ria's POV."What the hell did you just say?" He moved closer to me. Confusion filled his eyes, while tears flowed down my cheeks."We are not breaking up completely. I mean, let's just think about these things, and then we will talk once things get better."Just because I didn't tell you about me choosing her as the manager? Is that why you are all doing all of these?" He questioned, moving closer to me."I didn't know you see that a small action. You feel like it is nothing. Oh, are you okay with picking someone who attempted to murder me as the manager?" I raised up my hands while I started clapping them."You know what? That is really great." I continued clapping my hands, while he mouth was opened trying to look for words which were going to come out from his mouth."She was the one who tried to push you off the cliff?" His palms covered his mouth. "Why didn't you tell me about it all this while?""What would have changed if I had told you? Are you going to scold her? W
Chapter 68.Ria's POV"Was this some kind of prank?" I scoffed seeing the beautiful lady who was standing at his side. She was opposite me too, and I saw the tears flow down her eyes.I know why she looked so familiar. That was the picture the anonymous person had sent to me. I know why things were starting to look this way."No way." I held back my tears while I grabbed my bag, which was on the couch, wanting to leave. "This isn't a joke. I figured out you might be the daughter of her ex-husband after I met you the other day. I wanted the both of you to reunite since she wouldn't stop talking about you." Mr. Jack continued talking, leaving me in awe.The woman walked closer to me, her two palms stretched forward as she kept on shaking. She wanted to touch my cheeks, but I stood up before she could get to do that."Please, listen to me. I am so sorry that I left you and I really want things to get better between the both of us. I really regret my actions and I want us to come back to
Chapter 69Luca's POV.I couldn't stop thinking about her at this point. It has just been two weeks, and things were starting to look like this. It felt like I was about to go crazy.I was at the front of her door already. I couldn't count how many times I have been here, but I was unable to press the doorbell.I took up all the courage I had left in me and then rang the bell while I waited for a reply. It was taking too long."Did she go out this morning?" I questioned myself, but there was no place she was supposed to go to. Except if she already has a job and I didn't know about it.My fingers clenched together after seeing the doorknob twisted, revealing her standing at my front, but someone else was also standing with her. It was her neighbor, whom I saw the other day.Different questions crossed my mind at that moment, but I shouldn't just get to assume things. All I needed was an explanation from her, but I don't think I was in the right position for that."What is he doing her
Chapter 70Ria's POV.I guess I should have just told him to stay behind earlier. I was so feeling so damn guilty right now for letting him go. I started feeling nauseous and I could easily tell it was due to the fact that i stood in the rain yesterday. That also made me have a fever last night.I stumbled through the apartment, my hand covering my mouth as I desperately tried to hold back the wave of nausea. But it was too late. I made a beeline for the bathroom, bursting through the door just in time. I dropped to my knees in front of the toilet, my body heaving as I emptied everything that was in my tummy."What the actual fuck!" I cussed, while another wave hit me again.My hand was holding the toilet so tight, not wanting to let go off it. My head started spinning and I could also feel my body shaking. Why was this really happening to me? I managed to stand up, while I walked towards the sink slowly immediately after flushing.I splashed the water onto my face, and the stared
Chapter 71Ria's POV.The doctor handed over the papers to me, and with the smile on his face I knew what the results meant already.Did he think being I was going to be happy after testing me positive. "You are two months pregnant ma'am, and we will start making schedule for your meeting so—" I didn't allow him to complete his sentence before interrupting him."What if I want to abort the baby? Is it going to be too late now?" I panicked, while the smile on his face faded slowly."I'm really sorry, uhm—" He paused, bringing his hands together. "Yes, this is the best time for you to do that." He added."I am going to give it some thoughts, and let you know what my final decisions are going to be." I left the room, with the documents in my hands.I needed to come up with a good solution at this point. I entered in to my car while I drove off to my apartment straight off.It was in the evening since that was the time I made an appointment with the doctor. I reached the parking lot whi
Chapter 72Ria's POV"No! No way. I'm not pregnant." I blurted out before he could even utter another word."Why would you think I am pregnant?" I scoffed, laughing so hard, trying to make things no stronger too suspicious."What if you are, though? Don't you want to get pregnant? Why are you saying it like it is something bad?" He questioned."It's not bad—" I itched my hair. "What if I am not just ready for it? I still have a lot of things in my life to figure out. I'm yet to even raise myself well; how can I raise a child?" I continued, squinting my eyes."That's why I have you. We can figure things out together." He held my palms, and that gave me the chills. "If you are pregnant right now, I will make sure to do the best I can to raise the child," he added, and then I busted out into laughter."We both have a lot of enemies, right? Who wants to make sure we don't get to progress? Do you think it is going to be that easy for the both of us to defeat them?" I questioned. "The child
Chapter 73Ria's POV."Uhm." I watched him struggle to speak. I was starting to suspect Liam at this point. Everything just seemed weird with him.Everything seemed too real to be a coincidence too. More like I was being stalked and he knew everything about me. "I was actually going to see someone that day, and then I saw you on the way. I was so surprised, honestly." He finally got to talk. "I wondered what you were doing in that area, because it seemed kind of far from your house here." He shrugged his arm."Oh! That explains why I saw you there that evening. I guess it was just a coincidence." I mentioned, and he nodded."It was just a mere coincidence. There is nothing else behind it." He bit his lips while he still stared at me. "I even got a lot of calls from my friend that evening after realizing that he didn't see me later." He answered, rubbing his palm against each other. "Uhm, you two are on a good terms now?" He questioned, pointing his thumb behind him, which was toward
Chapter 74Jade's POV."Zoa, please can you come to this place. I need you right now." I dropped my phone on the desk while I waited for her to come over.She then appeared in a while. This position was really to get tiring, and now I'm also wondering the reason why I also got up pick the job at first.I have always wanted freedom and this job was limiting from a lot of things.Al I wanted to do was to make sure j get to show Ria that I could get anything I really want including her position, but I have been working all day and night like a dog."You sent for me ma'am." Zoa stood at my front."I never imagined I was going to allow you work for me after what you said the other day. That is also one of the reasons why I am giving you all of these works." I dropped another sets of files on the desk, as I then saw the frustrated look on her face.She really look frustrated, and that was exactly what I wanted, that looks on her face till she decided she was going to quit all by herself."W
EPILOGUE IIRia happily served her kids a slice each of the chocolate cake she had learned to bake for their sakes and watched as they enjoyed it.“Don’t rush the cake, you’ll stain your dress,” she said as she stretched her hand to wipe the side of Aurora and Atlas’s mouths with a napkin.“It’s so delicious, Mom. Will you make us another after Granny’s birthday party?” Aurora said in between mouthfuls as she swung her legs underneath the table. Ria nodded and was just about to give a reply when she saw her husband emerge from the doorway.He looked so smart in his suit, and she just wanted to eat him up as he said, “There’ll be lots of cake there, so why don’t you let your mom rest a little?” He winked at her, waving his undone tie at her, but the children noticed his presence before she could walk up to him.“Daddy!” Aurora was the first to notice as she hopped off her stool and ran up to hug him. With a smile, he crouched to wrap his arms around her as Atlas ran into his embrace as
EPILOGUE IFive Years LaterLuca tiptoed into the master’s bedroom and shut the door quietly behind him as he peeked around for any sight of his wife.“Ria,” he called gently as his eyes scanned the room until they finally settled on her standing in front of the dressing mirror.His mouth ran dry as he saw the way the dress shimmered under the lights and how it hugged her delicate curves. He hated the fact that there would be a lot of people who would get to see her in that dress tonight.She was checking herself out in preparation for the party they would be attending that evening.The moment she turned around and did a swirl, he knew he needed to have a taste of her before they left, or else he’d be restless throughout the night.His heart was racing as he approached her from behind, and it felt like he was falling in love with her all over again.“I feel like the luckiest man in the world,” he said as he held her waist, and they both stared into the mirror.“Luca.” She turned and g
Chapter 140 (FINALE)Chapter 75Jade's POV.I have waited long enough for this day. I wasn't just going to be called off that way. My father helped with the case that was filed against me.If I don't get to do the right thing now, they might keep on filing cases against me and that was why I needed to do this The fact that I was going to get to kill Ria today would be the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I have always wished for the day that I wouldn't get to see her anymore.Finn promised that he was going to help me get what I wanted, which I was really happy about. Having someone to threaten was really a good thing in life. Now, he was even willingly to help me do things.I heard the news that she was going to get married to Luca. I wouldn't let that happen again while I was still alive. "Luca would come and save me." She said it with so much confidence, which made me chuckle. She was really confident this night and with the look of things, she might have a few things
Chapter 139Chapter 74*Two Weeks After*Ria's POV.My bridal shower was finally going to happen this night. I would be getting married tomorrow!We have been making preparations for this for the past month! Jade would be getting married in the next two weeks, which was really cool! I was so happy that our marriage was really close.I wished we could get to do it the same day.I waited for her to come over for my bridal shower. Everywhere was well lit up, and it was really beautiful.We were using the longue, which was in Luca's house. Luca left the house for us to enjoy, and I bet he must be with Liam right now. He barely had any friends, and probably with my dad told.I heard the doorbell ring as I rushed towards the door immediately. The moment I had been waiting for was finally here. I opened the door slowly, which revealed Zoa.I hugged her very tightly before I left her.It's funny how the bridal shower was only going to involve the both of us, probably alongside with my mom and
Chapter 138Liam's POV.Falling for Zoa was something that I never imagined was going to happen. I watched she as she kept on ranting but u couldn't listen to a single word she was saying.My gaze wre focused on her naked belly since she was putting on a crop top. I wanted to place my head in between those chubby legs. The effect she had on me these days was really one of a kind.I was sitting in the chair in my room, and yeah we have been living together ever since he father died. I never knew she had this side of her. It was so cute to see her rambling this way."Are you even listening to what I was saying." She interrupted my thoughts making me almost flinch. She used the clothes that were in her hands to hit my head, as she accidentally trip falling in my legs.Her hands were on my dick right now, and I bet she could feel how hard they were! Fuck what the hell was happening."It's so hard to resist you." I let out my confession. "I've been meaning to tell you this these days, but
Chapter 137Ria's POV*THE NEXT MORNING*"We spent the entire night together, but you are just telling me about the fact that you recovered your memory. Can you see how heartless you are?" I scolded Luca as we were on our way to the company.We were fucking together throughout last night, and the reason he had disappeared and made me worried for two days was because he wanted to surprise him.He told me that he was going to get the investors back, and I kept on asking him how he was going to do that, only for him to let me know now that he had recovered his memories already."What procedure did you use in getting them back? I think you are suffering from the side effects." I mentioned it to him, as he chuckled slightly again. There was nothing funny in what I had just said.If only he knew how worried I was, only for him to be hiding somewhere even when his company almost lost all its value."I am really sorry, and I will repay you in any way that I can." He promised me."Thank God yo
Chapter 136Ria's POV*THREE DAYS AFTER*"I don't have anything to do with your husband; you should go and look for him. Who knows? He might have lost interest in you since he lost his memories." There was no way Luca was going to leave me."I swear, if anything happens to him, I am going to make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life." I mentioned to Jade as I ended the call right immediately after.I wasn't really sure if she was the one responsible for him going missing. I was hesitant to report it to the police, hoping that he was going to come home, but right now I think it is the right time for me to let the police know about everything.I was about to walk up the stairs, not until I heard the sound of the bell ringing. I walked up to the door and saw a man standing there."Uhm, you ordered this." He stretched the box towards me."I think you got the wrong address. I didn't order anything." I said in defence. I have seen a lot of tricks like these being used these day
Chapter 135Luca's POVI wanted to know a lot of things about myself. Yeah, I might be performing well even with my memory loss, but it felt like I was empty. It really feels like there was something missing in me.I have been going to therapy secretly without Ria knowing, and I decided to go for one today since she went for her friend's daughter's funeral. I thought it was going to be a very perfect opportunity for me to go."Can you just come up with a fast technique? I need to recover my memory as fast as possible." I urged the doctor."You told me that you do see a few blurry images in your dream, and that means you are close to achieving it." She mentioned."Let's go for the option you mentioned the other day.""No way, I am not going to let you go through all that after the progress that you made already." She opposed, just like I was expecting her to."Exactly! This is my business, and you told me the consequences, but I needed to recover my memories as fast as I could. What if
Chapter 134Ria's POVJade was standing next to her huge black car, while Finn was at my front."I don't want to have anything to do with you again." Finn mentioned to me, unable to look me in my eyes."What? Did you threaten him again? Are you scared of her? Are you scared of what she might do to you?" I questioned him while I scoffed."It is none of your business. You can call the police to arrest me and then bring me in for questioning. You can tell them anything they want, but we don't have any business together." He mentioned setting the boundary between the both of us.A scoff appeared on my lips while I tried to connect the dots as usual.He was so damn serious."What the hell does she have on you exactly that you keep on acting this way?" I whispered, moving closer to him. "You see Zoa over there." I pointed at Zoa, who was sitting on a pavement with Liam next to her. Her hair was so messy, her eyes were really swollen, and she looked like a mess right now. "She made her that
