last update Last Updated: 2022-12-16 17:11:08

Lester married Anne Petrova hastily and had a child.

Lester was biased towards boys and had wanted a son but got a daughter instead.

He had converted the Petrova factory he had received as his dowry into the Aprice Group and turned Anne into a meek housewife. Yet, his wife’s popularity still outshone his own.

By the time Anne realized she had made an enormous mistake in seeing through Lester, Liliana was already three years old.

Anne knew she was not strong enough to shoulder her father’s responsibilities, but her daughter was already showing promising signs.

Anne spent more than a year contemplating the future.

Anne knew herself well. She was heartbroken, and she knew she would never be able to take over Leon’s burden. She also had health issues and was unlikely to have another child.

As much as she hated it, Anne had no choice but to put those heavy responsibilities on her young daughter’s shoulders.

After spending months thinking, trying to change Lester’s heart, and discussing wi

    Rose had been feeling like a cat on hot bricks since she found out the necklace belonging to Anne Petrova, which was supposed to be safely hidden by Romeo or discreetly sold, was being auctioned in a high-profile manner.She could not tell anyone why she was so agitated though Lester and the maids had realized something was off. She simply blamed the weather and mood swings.Rose had spent quite a sum of money to find out who had placed it in an auction, but she did not find anything. She had only come to know someone had done it anonymously.Finally, the day of the auction came.Everyone of some importance was seated in the largest auction house in P city, which had been the talk of the town for months. The organizers had spent over six months planning the auction. Every minor detail had been examined by a committee and approved by the head of the auction house.A committee of distinguished members examined every single auction item for authenticity. The management team vetoed each g

    The auction started, and Liliana and Jonathan put their bets on a few items.Jonathan bought a set of vintage model cars for the twins and Kyle.Liliana bought a pair of vintage lamps made in the 17th century from gold, diamond, pearls, and crystals.The Aprices bid for a few items but most of the things in the auction were too expensive for them.But they still had to purchase something to show off.They started to bid for a small ring made of gold and jade. It was a beautiful ring, though not an antique, so it did not catch Liliana’s fancy.“Table number 13 says 200 thousand dollars.” The host announced, “Anyone else?”“We see the window open again. Three hundred thousand dollars from Box 1!” The host announced.“And Table 7 says - 500 thousand dollars.”“Table 13 - 600 thousand dollars.”“Table 2 - 700 thousand dollars.”“Table 13 - 800 thousand dollars.”“Box 1 - 900 thousand dollars.”“Table 13 - 1 Million dollars.”“Box 1 - 1.5 Million dollars.”Lester hesitated, but then he saw

    Liliana pouted and blinked innocently at Jonathan as she said, “What? I am only getting help for the children in the rural mountains who would get hospitals and schools with this money.”“I believe you!” He chuckled.“You are only teasing me,” Liliana sniffled, making him laugh louder.Vivian heard Jonathan’s chuckle while passing through. She knew he was in Box 1 with Liliana, and she knew his voice.His happy laughter made her feel like someone had ripped her heart out.Unaware of her sufferings, Liliana and Jonathan continued to banter as the auction continued. Liliana also bought a few relics that the Jacobsens, Mariana’s parents, had fancied but gave up when some collector raised the bid much higher. That made Jonathan wonder how rich she was.He recalled his wife’s letters and the divorce agreement where she had given him so much alimony.The wheels started turning in his head again. He forced himself to calm down and pay attention to the task ahead.They had come to the auctio

    Jonathan looked at Liliana, but she just stared at her necklace with determined eyes and a distant smile. She looked regal and untouchable.He looked around and saw the notable people looking at their boxes to catch sight of someone. Liliana! He immediately realized that they were trying to get a glimpse of her.Vivian could tell something was about to happen. She did not care about the auction or any other people there.She had come there knowing Jonathan would be there. But how everyone kept looking at Box 1 made her nervous - like something was going to happen. Something she was sure would not be in her favor.Rose and Lester, however, were immersed in their worlds. They would not have understood the significance of the necklace anyway.But even they could tell something was off as the host did not explain anything about the necklace. He very subserviently bowed at it and said let’s begin. His whole demeanor had changed, and he was utterly focused.Yet, he didn’t even announce th

    Another unexpected thing happened in the auction.Usually, after a bid, a staff member would go to them privately and ask them to pay.But the host called Jonathan on the stage.“See you up there!” Jonathan told Liliana as he made his way to the grand stage.All lights were on him as he paid for the necklace in front of everyone.The owner of the auction house and the main organizer had come to greet Jonathan on the stage. The auction house was well aware of their patron.They would have to pay their respect even if Jonathan did not know the truth.“Wow! I did not think we would be so privileged to see your cheque. Thank you, President Smith!”The organizer joked in a carefree banter - Jonathan suspected it was an intended relay of information.“The pleasure is mine! This affair is personal. It has nothing to do with Smith Group.” He said firmly, despite his suspicions.“May we ask?” The owner of the auction house said cautiously.Jonathan smiled, “This is a gift for someone I admire.

    This time Jonathan did not hesitate.He went inside and asked the butler to inform his grandmother while he waited in the garden.Emma Miller-Smith, his grandmother, showed up looking very much fit at the age of 84.“To what do I owe this pleasure?” She said sarcastically.“I want to ask you something,” He replied just as coldly.“And I am expected to answer because?” she snickered.“I am getting a vasectomy tomorrow,” he answered calmly.Jonathan knew that was what mattered the most to her. After all, his very existence was the proof.“Don’t you dare!” As expected, she exclaimed.“Watch me!” He threatened.“What do you want to know?” She conceded.“The truth or for every lie I uncover later - I will donate 10% of the Smith Group shares in my hand to charity.” He answered.“You bastard!” She cried.“I am not. You made sure of that.” He said mockingly. “It’s about my wife.”“What about her? She died seven years ago.” She huffed.“Why did you force me to marry her?” He asked, hiding the

    “What’s that supposed to mean?”Jonathan asked curiously.If Lester had raised his son as a Petrova heir and changed the will, he was likely to succeed unless Liliana had enough proof to overthrow him. It was not unheard of in their class.His grandmother’s words stunned him.“Petrovas announce their heir publicly without actually specifying what it entails. It's been a tradition since they were Kings. Leon announced your wife as his heir at her 5th birthday party.” Emma Miller-Smith informed a clueless Jonathan.Jonathan's suspicion deepened.'They want what belongs to me.' Those were Liliana's words. No wonder she was furious.“I guess Lester and his mistress are too dumb to understand that all the Petrova property and resources belonged to your wife since she was 5. She could have claimed it all, including everything the Aprices are currently enjoying, on her 18th birthday. Even if Lester’s son is Anne’s, he does not get anything unless your wife wants to share.”Emma continued - h

    Jonathan was stunned, "You sent someone to follow her."She was unaffected, "So what?"Jonathan sighed, “What was the issue with the bride price?”Emma cocked her brows, “Lester tried to change the engagement from Anne’s girl to his stepdaughter. The audacity to humiliate the Smiths with a mistress's filth!”She sneered, “I refused, of course! Then - to scorn us - he said she demanded a hotel, a golf club, and a winery. We agreed but transferred them to your wife’s name instead of his.”Jonathan was surprised. No wonder she was drugged and framed to be violated on their wedding night.Emma continued when she couldn’t see any expression on Jonathan’s face.“Lester tried to get us to change it in a roundabout way. His mistress-wife directly asked to give those to her brood. The nerve of them to make such demands!”Emma became angry at the thought of them.“When I refused, the mistress demanded a 500 million cash gift. I reduced it to 100 million.

    Liam finished his narrative and went close to Kyle.He knelt beside his half-brother and said, “Kyle, you are my brother by blood. But in my heart, you have always been my son.”“I will do anything and everything for you. Not because I feel obligated or you were a responsibility thrust onto me, or because my mother ruined your mother’s life. But because I love you from the bottom of my heart. If anything happens to you, I will lose my mind.”“What happened to previous generations is their karma and their lives. What we do defines our life and our karma.”“You are my son and will remain so until you return to P City Military as the Colonel. Until then, you mustn’t tell anyone about it.”“I never told you about your mother because I have immense respect and compassion for her. I did not want to lie to you or gloss over her story. I wanted to tell you when you are older, so you can appreciate her sacrifices.”“Nevertheless, you will always be my son and my highest priority. I love you so

    Liam took a while before he braced himself for the next part.“My mother thought my father was cheating on her with Aunty Keira.”“My father kept everything about Aunty Keira a secret because he hadn’t identified all the people on the inside who worked for him. So for her safety, he dealt with everything directly. He had created a fake ID and passport for her for an emergency. If she ran into any trouble, or if he died, then she could flee and settle down abroad.”“My mother thought he was planning to elope with her. She went after him when he had sneaked out, and she took photos. The next day, she posted all those photos in the newspaper calling Aunty Keira a bad person for flirting with a married army man and ruining a military marriage.”“Naturally, everyone found out, and the bad people captured and bullied Aunt Keira.”“The plan was almost complete. As per military protocols, my father had to prioritize the mission. My father had the last bits of information in place. So he hasti

    Liliana began when Liam stalled for time.“Kyle, your mother comes from a long line of military spies. You know what a spy is, right?”Kyle nodded.“Traditionally, only men are sent as spies because women are physically more vulnerable and comparatively more emotional. However, during your mother’s time, there was a very powerful mafia in Z city. He was extending his terror in P city. He had bribed and coerced many people at higher positions - so he would not get caught. Someone inside the Military betrayed us, and he found our spies.”Liam added, “He killed 25 of our most trained and skilled spies within a week. It left the P City Military in a very vulnerable position. My father was the Army Commander at that time. My Grandfather was in a higher position, and the mafia approached my grandfather for something. When he refused, he killed him.”“Among the 25 spies, three were from your mother’s family. Apart from them, almost 100 people from the force - Police and Military - lost their

    Liliana walked up to them and hugged them.She checked them from head to toe, much to the boy’s embarrassment. When she was satisfied that they were unharmed, she spanked them.Li looked at his mother incredulously, but she glared back at him.“How dare you run away? Didn’t you know the address of your home? If you encounter something you can’t handle, you come to me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?”“Look at how filthy you have become! Is this how you plan to set an example for your siblings?”Kyle hugged her and sobbed, “I am sorry, Mommy.”Li did the same, and Liliana hugged the two children close.Liliana exclaimed, “Ah! It reminds me of when we had just returned to P city. Jo - that traitor, left me for her father. I had the two of you to hug.”She led them to the ensuite bathroom and asked them to clean up. She sat them down and asked them to drink water and eat the pies she had made that afternoon.After the kids were well-fed and hydrated, she sat on the couch with

    James remained unperturbed and laughed.He added when he had calmed down.“Jacob said he kissed Mariana and realized that he was gay.”Jonathan was speechless. He hadn’t expected that twist.James ignored his friend’s expressions and slurred, “He said they were best friends and sort of dating. But the vibe between them was closer to cousins than lovers. When they kissed, he realized how much he never wanted to kiss any girl in his life ever again.”Jonathan had to stifle his laugh.‘Good for Jacob!’‘Poor Mariana lost her first kiss like that. Tch! Tch!’James continued his ramble.“Then they became even closer. Which may have been why Mariana never dated anyone.”Jonathan thought about it and added, “Makes sense! She wouldn’t have needed to look for a relationship, and others would have assumed she wasn’t available.”James continued, “Jacob once took her horse riding. She fell and had a fracture. Her hymen tore when she fell. Then I slept with her and shouted at her for making a fuss

    Jonathan and Liliana stopped talking and embraced each other while lying quietly on the bed.Jonathan was about to drift asleep when Liliana spoke.“Do you still want to have another child?”He was stunned and sat up immediately.“What do you mean?”She turned around and asked, “Well, you never brought it up since we talked about it half a year ago.”He couldn’t understand what she was getting at. He asked, “So?”She mumbled, “I just think it is the right time, and maybe we should try. I will turn thirty soon, and it might cause complications.”He asked, “I still don’t know what you are trying to say.”She rolled her eyes and asked, “I want to know if you still want another child.
