"Thank you for your patience."
Chapter 84 Paul alighted from the plane and switched on his phone. There were so many voicemail messages and before he could take a look, his phone started to ring. He looked at the caller ID and thought for a moment before he pressed the receive button. Lisa’s ‘worried voice’ came through the phone, “Babe where have you been and why was your phone switched off? I was worried sick about you.” Tony took a deep breath before he answered, “The boss was out of the city so I had a lot of unfinished work at the company. I switched off my phone because I did not want to be disturbed.” Lisa’s brows furrowed. She could not believe that Tony was lying to her. The feeling that Tony had been to her school was getting stronger and she did not know why. Maybe she was just feeling guilty after she told him not to come because she was having an affair behind his back, and she did not want him to find out. “Is that so, babe?” “Yeah.” His mind was far away and even he did not know what was runni
Chapter 85 Tony left Sandra’s apartment but he did not leave the parking lot right away. He went to his car and took out a pack of cigarettes. Although he had always carried a few packs in his car, he rarely smoked. Tony lit up the cigarette, but he did not smoke it. He let it burn between his fingers as his mind wandered. After a while, he took out the phone and called Jack, Daniel’s other assistant who had always operated in the dark. Not a lot of people knew his identity, except those that were closest to Daniel. The phone was picked up almost immediately. Jack had an easy-going personality and he could joke with anyone, in any circumstance. To him, if you are sad for more than one hour, then you are better off dead. “Yoh, to what do I owe the honor?” He asked in his cheerful voice. He seemed to be in a club as there was a lot of noise and loud music on his end. Tony threw the almost burned cigarette on the ground and stepped on it to put it off before he spoke in an emotionle
Chapter 86 Jack collected everything he found on Lisa’s phone and stored them in one folder. There were videos, photos, and anything that you could think of. He did not want to keep his friend waiting, so he just showed the laptop to his friend. Tony could not believe what he was seeing. He felt like he was seeing Lisa for the first time and he could not believe his eyes. Is this the same woman he had poured his heart to, for seven years? The same woman he could not wait to tie the knot with, in a few months? The woman he could not wait to proudly announce to the whole world. He thought that he would not be affected no matter what he saw, after all, he had already seen her roll in another man’s arms right in front of his eyes. But what he was seeing made him feel as if his heart had been reaped apart and shredded into pieces. A drop of tear fell on the laptop keyboard without his knowledge, as he blankly watched the video of his ex-girlfriend having a threesome with two men, in t
Chapter 87 Sandra left the company building and called for a taxi. As she was waiting for her ride, her mind was all over. Although she wanted to ignore it, a big part of her heart was worried about Tony. After struggling for a while, she decided to give him a call. The phone rang for a long time and when Sandra thought that no one was going to pick up, a hoarse voice came through the speaker. Her heart skipped a beat and she somehow regretted making the call. What was she going to say now? “Hello…” Tony spoke again. Sandra braced herself and spoke, “Hello, I heard that you are not feeling well so I just wanted to check on you.” She spoke so fast that it took a while for Tony to register who was on the phone. He had received the call without looking at the caller ID, because his head was killing him and he did not want to open his eyes. But when he heard Sandra’s voice, he felt as if he was alive again. “Sandra, is that you?” he asked before he started coughing profusely. “Yeah
Chapter 88 Sandra was sleeping soundly and Tony did not want to wake her up. He sat on the sofa and stared at her sleeping face. The more he looked at her, the more he realized just how beautiful she was. He must have been blind and very stupid to have hurt her like that. When he first realized Sandra’s special feelings towards him, he simply avoided her because he had someone. And now that he thinks about it, it is actually very laughable. He could have spent his whole life crying if he missed out on an opportunity like that. But this time, he was going to make things right, he was going to be a man and take responsibility for what he did. His phone chimed. He saw that Jack had sent him an email. He must have unveiled the identities of the men that Lisa was messing around with. He took a deep breath, took his laptop, and left the bedroom. Before he left, he kissed Sandra on the forehead before he mumbled, “I am going to get rid of this stench in my life, and then I can finally gi
Chapter 89 Ever since Daniel and Ella found out that they were pregnant, Daniel has been extra careful with everything. And given the fact that a lunatic had once messed with Ella’s car, he was not willing to risk anything so, he took it upon himself to drive the kids to school, and drop Ella to work before he left for his company. He did the same thing in the evening, every single day, and there was no day that Ella heard him complain. The people at Edmond and Co. could not get used to the fact that their boss, who had always been punctual, had been arriving to work at normal hours like any other normal employee. In the past, Daniel had always been the first to arrive at the company and the last one to leave. But now… They could only attribute to the fact that their boss was deeply in love and he was not willing to leave his wife’s side by working overtime. Tony entered the office with his files, and his boss’s schedule for the day. Ever since Daniel got engaged and Ella became
Chapter 90 Sandra was going through some files when she heard a knock on her office door. Although she was not expecting anyone, she politely told the other person to come in. Tony entered Sandra’s office with a bouquet of blue roses in his hands. He was dressed in a nude-colored suit and the flowers helped to enhance his handsome features. Sandra opened her mouth wide when she saw Tony enter the office with flowers. Although they communicated on the phone almost every day, she had not seen him for over a month. “What are you doing here?” Tony approached Sandra’s desk and handed her the flowers, “These are for you.” Sandra was surprised. This was probably the first time someone had given her such beautiful flowers and her heart was bursting with happiness. “Oh, wow! Are you sure?” “Of course. Do you like them?” “Yes. They are very beautiful. Thank you.” “You are welcome.” Tony smiled. Seeing his smile that reached his eyes, Sandra felt her heart skip a beat. She looked into
Chapter 91 When the clock came to four o’clock, Sandra felt like she had been waiting forever. Ever since Tony left, she had practically been counting every second of the minute, and every minute of the hour. She had never wished for a day to end like she did today. Sandra hurriedly packed her things and left the office. Tony had already sent her the address for their date, but she still had to shop for a dress and do her makeup. It was her first official date and she was not about to take it lightly. She wanted to be the best version of herself when in front of the man she had liked for long. “Off for your date already?” Ella asked when Sandra came to hand her some files. “Boss, how did you know?” “Tony told me. He was very excited and I could tell that you saying yes, meant the world to him.” “Oh, I don’t know boss. I just feel like I have been lonely for so long and I need to get out there and have some fun.” “Do you like him?” Sandra thought about it for a moment before sh

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
