"Thank you for your patience. The next chapter will be tomorrow."
Chapter 55 Ella had just finished packing her small handbag when her phone rang. She immediately picked up the call after hearing the special ringtone. She also realized that she needed to change it since she was not sure how Daniel would feel when he heard it. She had set that special ringtone for him in a fit of anger, and hearing it now made her want to puke. “Hey, what’s up? Have you already picked up the kids from school?” “Yes. Are you done with work?” “Yes, I was just about to leave. What do you guys want to eat for dinner? I will pass by the supermarket and get some ingredients.” “Just come home, all right. We have a surprise for you.” “Oh, a surprise? What is it?” “It won’t be a surprise if I tell you.” Ella left the office with a smile hanging on her face. She could not wait to be home and see the surprise that had been prepared for her. After staying alone with the kids for too long, this was the first time someone was waiting for her at home with a surprise. Ell
Chapter 56 At the Muller mansion, it has been two days since Cathy’s confrontation with Daniel. The moment she arrived home, she locked herself in her room and she hadn’t seen the light of day for two days. She chased away all her maids, and she was not even willing to see her parents. When Mr. Muller returned home in the evening, he found his wife brooding on the sofa, with a worried expression on her face. “Lily, what is wrong? Cathy hasn’t left her room again?” Mister Muller asked as he approached his wife. “Yes, darling. She has not eaten for two whole days and I am so worried about her. Hearing her muffled cries really breaks my heart.” “What are we supposed to do? I did not think that it would affect her that much.” “I also never expected that Daniel would be that ruthless. Why has he been giving our daughter false hopes all these years? Now look at how heartbroken she is.” “Have you found out anything?” Lily asked as she looked at her husband. She knew that Daniel would
Hey guys, I hope you are doing great. I have been thinking about it and I thought that I should be honest with my lovely readers. I know that one chapter a day is not enough and I feel so sorry about that. But the problem is, I just found out that I am pregnant the end of last month. It is my first pregnancy and my body has lots of complication, so it is very risky. That is why I have been able to get only one chapter done, and very late at that. I don't want to use that as an excuse for my inconsistence in publishing more chapters. All I am asking is your understanding as I try to understand this new chapter of my life. But I will be posting daily even if it is just one chapter. I hope that y'all understand. Lots of love, Dinnah
Chapter 57 Cathy showered at lightning speed. She was eager to know what her father had found out that she did not even dry her body before coming out of the bathroom. She did not care how wet her body was as she hastily put on her pajamas. “Hey, take your time. Just look at how wet your hair is. You might catch a cold if you don’t dry it. Quickly sit down, and let me help you dry it.” her mother said as she approached her. She took a towel from the closet before she started drying Cathy’s hair. “Mom, quick, tell me. What did Daddy find out?” “Err...?” Cathy could not take her mother’s hesitation anymore. She took the towel from her hands and threw it on the ground. She stood up and faced her mother, “You promised that as long as it is something that I want, I will always get it. You said that as long as I work my ass off, Daniel would see my efforts. It has been five years already, but what have I gained in the end?” “Hey, darling, calm down, okay? I will tell you everything.”
Chapter 58 One month later, after Cathy figured out that Ella was back in the country, and Daniel was pursuing her once again; In the Muller mansion, Cathy was trimming her nails as she happily hummed an unknown tune. When Lily entered the house, she was stunned to find her daughter in the living room. Ever since that incident, Cathy would either be out or she will be locked up in her room for the whole day. But today, she was actually trimming her nails and she seemed to be in a good mood. What exactly happened to her? Lily approached her daughter and sat down beside her, “Hey you, it has been almost a month since I have seen you this happy. What happened to you?” Cathy looked at her mother and revealed her white teeth. She smiled in delight as she hugged her mother’s arm, “Hey Mommy, have you finished having fun with the ladies?” “Oh yeah. I was worried about you so I decided to leave early. But it seems like I was worried for nothing.” “Mom, I am fine. Sorry for making you a
Chapter 59 After Ella’s car disappeared, a few men in blue aprons approached the security guard at the gate with their work tools. They were driving a long truck, and they seemed to be in a hurry. “We are here to finish up the renovation that has been ongoing. There is something that our client was not satisfied with, and we are here to work on it.” The security guard looked at their work ID’s. Seeing that it was the same company that had frequented here for the past month renovating the newly bought house, he allowed them in. The men in the blue aprons entered with their truck. They quietly parked it near Ella’s car. As others took out their tools and walked towards Daniel’s house, others remained in the parking lot. The security cameras had already been tampered with, so they could do whatever they wanted without being caught. After Ella and the kids left, Daniel did not go back to sleep. He went and took a quick shower. By the time he was done, Tony was already at the house. “
Chapter 60 Daniel took out his phone and tossed it to Tony, “Call the police. I am giving them five minutes and they should be here.” “Bo… boss.” Tony was so tense that he could not utter a single word. “Do as I say. There is a huge rock ahead, we will jump out of the car on my count.” Tony has never been afraid his whole life. Jump out of the car? Was his boss kidding? “If you want to stay alive, and not bang your head on the rock, you better trust me. That truck will be on us soon, and they will not leave until we are dead.” “How sure are you that they want us dead?” “They don’t want us dead, but they want Ella dead. They tampered with her brakes because they knew that she was a helpless woman who would not save herself.” Chills went down Tony’s spine when he heard that. Someone wanted his Madam dead? But who would that be? But what amazed him was his boss’s clear thinking and calm attitude, even in such a situation. He was not panicked that their car did not have brakes, in
Chapter 61 Ella found Pete already waiting for her in the parking lot. “Boss, hope in. I saw the news and I knew that you would try something as stupid as driving yourself to the hospital. I don’t know if you would have turned out any different from Mister Edmond.” Ella had nothing to say in her defense. Her only concern was to reach the hospital and ensure that Daniel was okay. She tried calling his number but the phone was not going through. Her heart was beating so fast that she was finding it hard to breathe. “Pete, can you go a little faster?” “Don’t worry, boss. I am sure that Mister Edmond is all right.” “How the hell did that happen? I drove that car yesterday and it was just all right. How could the brakes fail out of nowhere?” “The police said that they might have been tampered with. They arrested the truck driver and his minions, and they will have an answer as soon as they question them.” “I am the one who was supposed to be in that car. I am the one who should have

Chapter 114 (Last Chapter) They could not believe that she came from such a powerful family and that she had not used her background to make a name for herself in the Showbiz. Those who had laughed at her and made fun of her background, even coming here to specifically embarrass her felt their faces burn. They were so abashed that they wished they could just disappear in an instant. Although Daniel and Ella were not involved in the entertainment, their names were known all over the business world. Just a word from them and they could end their lives in an instant. They were so glad yet fearful that Clarissa had not used her family influence ever since she joined Showbiz, or else they could not have known how they died. Clarissa looked at her brothers and sister and continued the introduction, “My siblings’ identities are very sensitive due to the nature of their jobs, so they cannot reveal their faces or names to the public. But they are glad that there are so many people today to
Chapter 113 Since Clarissa had decided to go all out, she had invited her friends from Showbiz. A few of them knew of her real identity and they could not miss the opportunity to associate with the rich. The moment six o’clock hit, the gates to the first Diamond Hotel were opened and luxury cars entered one after another. When the fans and the reporters saw that, although it was just a birthday banquet, they felt as if they were here to attend some award ceremony. They were so excited that they could not stop screaming. One celebrity after another descended the luxury cars. Others had their managers and assistants with them while others were on their own. Seeing that even those from the rival companies had come, the fans and reporters were stunned. Was this really a normal birthday banquet, because the lineup on the red carpet, was one of a kind. The fans were screaming once in a while every moment they saw someone they liked. But all their focus was on the gate, waiting for th
Chapter 112 Their eighteenth birthday arrived in no time. Caleb, Castor, Clare, and Carl had all returned to the country. Castro was preparing to take over his mother’s position as the CEO of Diamond Real Estate Investment because Daniel could still hold his forte for a while at Edmond and Co. Caleb and Clare were rising in ranks because of their brilliant performance while Carl was still a ‘high school teacher.’ Clarissa was now a top-tier model and her fan base had over a billion fans. Everyone was curious about her mysterious background but she remained tight-lipped. Diamond Real Estate has expanded over the years and now it owns several hotels in the city. The quintuplet's eighteenth birthday was being held in the first hotel that Ella bought since it held precious memories for her and her family. The preparations began one week earlier. Every time Ella thought about how her kids were finally going to leave her care, and become independent, although they had never needed her f
Chapter 111 Outside the beautifully decorated garden, a huge table was placed in the middle and all kinds of dishes were arranged there. Seeing the kids appear, Jane stood up and helped Ella with the seating arrangement. The men sat down watching their wives busy around as they sipped their beers. Paul looked at the all-grown kids and he could not help but feel emotional. He said in a hoarse voice, “I can’t believe that time has moved so fast. I still remember the first time I held those rascals in my arms. It feels like yesterday, they are almost eighteen.” Daniel looked at his kids and his expression was filled with love and gentleness. Only if he had not been an ass back then, he would not have missed such a great moment. Every time he thought about how another man had experienced what was supposed his, although he was not in a romantic relationship with his wife, he always felt jealous. But he was glad that Ella had given him another princess whom he had spoiled to the exten
Chapter 110 Carl and the rest had returned to their rooms, and they were getting ready to start the Christmas celebrations. Clare looked at Carl and Caleb and revealed a worried expression. She asked in a small voice, “Have you guys noticed something weird about Castro? His expression before he left was like that of someone who had lost his wife.” Caleb nodded when he heard Clare. “I noticed too, the moment I saw him. When I asked him about it, he was not willing to say anything.” Carl looked at them with a calm expression, “He is going through a heartbreak. But he will be okay.” Both Caleb and Clare were stunned when they heard Carl. They shouted in unison, “What?” They knew that Castro loved Samantha and they had all encouraged him to pursue her. Samantha had finally accepted him and if he was heartbroken, then there was only one possibility, Samantha had ditched their brother. They did not believe for a moment that it was their brother’s fault. They knew how much he loved Sam
Chapter 109 At seven o’clock, Ella’s guests arrived one after another. She was standing at the door, welcoming them with a sweet smile on her never-aging face. Jane looked at her best friend and smiled happily. She moved closer and hugged her, “I have not seen you in a few weeks and you have become even more beautiful?” “You are the one who has become more beautiful. Seems like Paul has been treating you really well.” After the two ladies hugged, Ella saw a beautiful girl standing behind Jane. She was tall and her beautiful hair cascaded down her shoulders, all the way to her narrow waist. If you looked at her closely, you would realize that she had a striking resemblance to Jane. Ella was stunned when she saw Samantha. She thought she was hallucinating and she only came back to her senses when Samantha called out to her. “Auntie Ella, long time.” Ella opened her arms and hugged Samantha tightly, her eyes turning a little red. She was so emotional as she hugged the all-grown wo
Chapter 108 Carl’s heart trembled when he heard his father’s laugh. It was full of meaning and he even thought for a second that his father had found out about his secret identity. He was about to say something when his father spoke to him, “Come with me.” As Daniel said that, he stood up and walked towards the stairs. Carl hesitated for a moment before he followed his father. Daniel walked to his study room without looking back. Before he closed the door, he heard footsteps from behind. “Have a seat.” Carl was apprehensive as he looked at his father’s calm expression but he still sat down in the end. Daniel did not beat around the bush and immediately went to the main point, “Was your hunting tonight successful?” Carl could no longer hide the shock on his face. His father was looking at him, taking in all his expressions. Carl’s voice trembled slightly when he opened his mouth to speak, “How did you…” “You are my son. How could I not know?” Carl was startled. He thought his
Chapter 107 After dinner, the family of eight sat in front of the fireplace, watching TV. December was filled with cold air and Ella was huddled in Daniel’s arms, as she asked her kids about their experience in the army, and Carl’s life abroad. She looked at her daughter who had become beautiful, and then at her two sons who had become manly, that they could make a girl’s heart race and her gaze became emotional. “Was life too hard in the army?” Clare, Caleb, and Carl looked at their mother before they shared a glance. Clare cleared her throat and stated, “I won’t lie to you. It was tough and very exhausting at first. I even thought of coming back but I did not want to embarrass you and Dad, so I just had to grit my teeth and bear through it.” Caleb picked up from where Clare left and he continued to narrate, “We were placed in different training camps and we rarely saw each other. But when we did, Clare and I were still undergoing our training while Carl had already become a hi
