Chapter 107Ria's POV.It had been two months since the incident, and things haven't been going well for me, honestly. I wished things were going to get better, but they weren't.I was at the verge of using all my strength just to make that Miguel doesn't get to take over what Luca worked hard for.Just a few days after he was declared missing, he didn't even wait for things to calm down before he got to announce to everyone that he might get to be the CEO.Things got really messy and I made sure to hse the power of the media not to make him take over the position. I believed that Luca was still going to come back, that was the reason why I did all of thatOne month later, he tried taking over again but I interrupted the shareholder's meeting and stopped him again.I already used all the approach I had just for to protect the company, and I didn't think I have the strength to continue to do that. I have tried the best that I could to make sure to There was Jade too. Fighting hard alo
Chapter 108Ria's POV.I lay on the hospital bed, clutching the rails as another contraction ripped through my body. My mom stood beside me, her hands wrapped tightly around mine.It has been up to a few hours, and I have been this way. Even after using the epidural, I thought it was going to be easy.I could still feel slight pain; I wondered what would have been my situation if he didn't bother to use the epidural needle."It's okay, baby, you're doing great," she whispered, her voice calm and soothing. I stared at her while I imagined that it was him who was talking to me and telling me those words."This is so fucking hard." I mentioned while I held on to her hand very strongly. She stared at me straight into my eyes.My mom's grip tightened. "I know, sweetie, but you're strong. You can do this."The doctor urged me to push, and I took a deep breath, bearing down. My mom helped me sit up, her arms around me, supporting me."Push, Ria, push!" the doctor said, her voice firm but enc
Chapter 109Jade's POVI would continue to hate myself for what happened to Luca. I was the one who caused his death; if only I had thought of a way not to let him go back to her, everything would still be okay by now.I would forever be haunted by what happened. I heard a knock on the door, and that brought me back to reality.It was Miguel who was standing at the entrance. He waved his hands at me before he entered completely.How the hell could I think of getting partnered with him? At this rate, he might get to be the one who I am going to kill next.Why the hell was I being threatened by him? We were supposed to be a team."I came to see you." He sat on the chair facing my desk."I know, you told me that you would be here." I sighed while I stared at how disgusting his facial expressions were. I wasn't going to lie about the fact that he was so hot, but I don't like those facial expressions he does anytime he is here to see me."This is the final Chance for us to take over the co
Chapter 110Ria's POV."I had the chance to stop this." I stated seeing the news which was circulating. "But you stopped me." I growled at Miguel."That was the only way that things could get better between us all." He tried justifying his actions, but the both of us knew that I could have stopped that easily without any problem. "You just gave birth." He stated."That must be Zoa." I mentioned after I heard a knock on the door"What was she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be in the company? Do you trust her that much? What if she was here to destroy you?" He questioned me"Don't you dare say such things about her—" She walked in interrupting the both of us."Wait! Were you two talking about me, why did the both of you shut up suddenly?" She questioned as we both let out a nervous chuckle."Uhm, I'm going to leave the both of you alone." Liam wanted to leave the room."No! Stay here with us." I instructed him."There are a lot of things I want to tell you, and I think it would be b
Chapter 111Zoa's POV.My leg hit the floor slowly as the tears drip down my cheeks. Not that I didn't want to be with her when I had the chance to, but there was no time for me to ahd it was pretty hard for me.Things got really hard andthat was due to the whole incident. My Uber was yet to arrive and it was taking a lot of time for it to come.How could I tell Ria that Jade was bothering my family and I just because I didn't decide to be a spy for her? How could I let her know without her feeling guilty.My dad almost got partial stroke after he heard his little business collapse. I don't think I will have a choice anymore. If things get harder that this, I might just betray Ria at the end."Ria told me to check up on you." I heard that familiar voice. I've seen him talking several times with Jade but it seemed like he doesn't know me, and I don't want to be close with him."Are you not Jade's friend? What the hell are you doing here? You are not even supposed to here. Did she send
Chapter 122Luca's POV.My eyes opened slowly. Pain rushed through my body while I tried sitting up but my legs were tired.I looked around and then realized that I was in an unfamiliar building. "Finally! You woke up after being in coma for two months." I heard a voice at the other of the room while I turned around to see who it was. It was a man in a white coat.I couldn't see his face since his back was all what I could seeComa for two months? What the hell did he mean by that? He turned at me and I could see a stethoscope on his neck. What was I doing with a doctor?"Can you feel pain anywhere?""I feel so numb." I replied to me, and it felt like a part of me was missing too."You will get better. You have been under treatment due to the accident that happened to you two months ago." The doctor furthered stated.I tried to remember about the incident which he was talking about, but my mind suddenly went black."What accident?" I questioned looking at him and he then stopped al
Chapter 123Finn's POVThe doctor might think Luca losing his memory was a bad thing, but it was really what I wanted anyways, and I know I got the big shot after I heard that news. It seemed like things were starting to work in my favour.My leg pressed the accelerator while I tried to reach the vacation house quickly. I had to cancel all my plans for the day after I heard from the doctor that he woke up already.It has been up to two months, and I wanted him to stay out till people got to accept that he was gone and no one really gives a fuck about him anymore.I reached the vacation house in no time while the guards were outside. I had employed them to protect the house and capture anyone who came here. I was the only one who knew about this place, and not even Jade could realise that I have something like this.I entered into the house and then went to the room immediately. Knowing full well that I was the one who saved him, I have the upper hand.I entered into the room and saw t
Chapter 124Zoa's POV.Ria was being discharged from the hospital today. I helped her with one of her kids while the other one was with her. Liam assisted her in carrying her luggage.How could I bear to tell her that I needed to be somewhere today with this kind of expression? I don't think I could ever bring myself to tell her that."Are you sure that you are okay?" Ria questioned me."Yes! Of course I am." I replied to her."The both of you are acting like you have some important places to be." She stated, while my gaze diverted a little bit towards Liam's attention."Uhm, it's nothing.""Don't tell me that you will not be available here today?" Liam mentioned. "This was the one that you could finally prove yourself as being a good friend." He mentioned it to me."Hey! I told you not to talk to my friend that way anymore." Ria butted in, and I loved the way she did. "I wouldn't like it if you spoke to her that way in my presence." She entered the car in anger.Liam and I gazed at
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
