“What is the rush, Miss Adams?”, Candy's tune deepened to a devilish one as she wrote down a code on a piece of paper. “Weren't you the one reluctant a while ago in agreeing to my terms? ”Her voice contained more disdain and mockery than before having her brows raised high in a psychopathic manner.“It seems Candy is aware of my every step. It is just a pity that I wouldn't be on your side if the benefits are not handsome. Go ahead and tell me what you want ”“Now we are talking. ” Candy's tune switched from the harsher one to a little meek one and addressed her by a simple term instead of being formal. “My father is traveling out of the country in the next three days, get him to marry you or your only source of revenge would be burnt!”The meek voice turned more evil while referring to the coma patient called Khloe. Being brutal is one of the attributes of the biggest and firm family that has lived for the past century ago, so hearing her speak sent her shivering.“Three days? That
She yelled at the top of her voice and retorted breaking the silent hallway.“You think we all don't know you climbed into someone's bed to get Kim Seoyung's role?!” Alyssa reprimanded very loudly and repeated those exact words that trended viral for a whole day.Paige turned her back and widened her mouth. She smirked afterward, rolled her eyes, and yawned.To her, every exact move they wanted to play was known by her. From gaining the sympathy of the set planners to the costume producer and so on, Paige was very much aware of these outdated moves of her step-sister, Alyssa.“Stop hiding the fact that you climbed up to the young master of Allen's bed in other to get his favor! You win, Paige Adams
“What are you exactly?!” He murmured while folding his arms in a suspicious manner. For her to stop his powers meant she was not an ordinary being at all. Those who possessed such powers were the white angels.“What does that even mean? Um, Mr. Gray, I guess we are done here. Hope never to see you again!” She walked past him, held the handle of the door, pulled it open and then strode out of the room with a sighing face.“Who are you?” Calven fell into thinking and sat properly on the chair. His wrists were properly firmed on his chin and his elbows on the table. “So you are truly one of them? I can't believe that your kind still exists even after the war. This is bad news!”He put back his phone and wristwatch into his p
“What exactly do you want us to talk about? I don't know you from anywhere! If you are one of those reporters trying to soil my husband name, you better stop it!” She protested more to prevent any suspicious act that she might have between the both of them.“But that is not what I heard. Those bruises are deep and definitely not a fall or slap. Have you been harassed? ” Her voice became pity as her whole arms were exposed.From her shoulders down to her wrist were covered in nothing but scars and deep wounds. More scarier than she ever imagined.“I...........” Emily paused in her speech and burst into tears. Each drop of tears flowing sorrowfully down to her cheeks. the more she thought she could endure the emotional hurt, the more she failed to do so.Somehow, she couldn't fathom why she suddenly felt the urge to open up to this woman. An unspeakable desire she couldn't believe.Seeing this turn out ugly, Paige stepped forward to the car window and laid her hands on the woman. She wa
“Where are you taking me to?”“Where else would I take you to? We are going to the marriage bureau, Mrs. Gray ” His brows winked mischievously while the car drove with speed down the aisle.Paige sat awkwardly at the back of the car, examining her nails and biting her finger nails. This was his territory and her own idea did not matter when compared to a man whose presence caused goosebumps on her skin.She gulped nervously clenching to the hem of her blouse.“I did not agree to marry you! This is illegal! You are kidnapping me and forcing me to do something I don't want to do! This is........”“You done Miss Adams?” A disdainful glare fell upon the anxious face of the young miss and that glare belonged to Hayden. He swiftly adjusted the mirror and focused on driving. “You speak ill of my master, are you aware that is even a grievous act on its own?!”His tone got even louder and deeper while holding onto the steering wheels. He himself found the boss's actions towards this woman quit
“Is that so?” Nelson grinned and had his brows arched up, while teasing the young man and then waited for the big boss's commands.“Go ahead with the torture. It appears that he is not ready to let out the truth!” Calven coldly replied having looked at the man. His face was so evident to be the murderer when Calven compared him to the picture gotten after the investigation and being that so, it matched hundred percent.Which further made it evident he had a hand in her death! Moreover that, his investigations have led several times to him.“Please spare my life! I am not the man you are looking for!” He roared angrily and retreated from the strong burglary that fenced him from his freedom. Gradually, a heavy metal fell from the ceiling and locked him up.Screams and cries of anguish echoed through the room also accompanied with loud sounds of pleas. Frank held himself up and supported himself on the wall. His wobbling knees made all his efforts go to waste as he slumped to his feet.
”who?” Her brows irked in amazement while scanning the package. From the packaging, it seemed extraordinary and plus, the amulet on the box. “Where did you get this from?!”Her sweet tone changed quickly to an anxious one as her eyes became fierce. Paige scanned through the letter after seeing her mother's pendant decorated together with the letter.Her mother's amulet could only be called upon by her and not any other person, that made her more worried.“Mom?” She mumbled beneath her breath while caressing the shiny ocean blue ruby amulet.“Any thing wrong with the letter young miss? I made sure to check for security reasons, yet I found nothing wrong with the package .” Sharon stood to her ground with a fidgeting fingers.As far as she had searched the package, nothing incriminating nor life threatening was found. So, why the whole sudden change of emotion?“Who sent this letter? I........... You can leave!” Paige replied arrogantly and took her step on the staircase. She was more f
“Young Miss, Punish me whatsoever way you choose to! I have disappointed her excellence! ”Sharon knelt down on both her knees and bent her head to the ground.Her arms shook nervously and drops of sweat formed across her face. She bit her lips awkwardly thinking of how the young miss would deal with her.Sharon was neither new nor unexposed to the rules and laws of the Allen's mansion, yet carelessly let down her guards when it came to the young master's woman. That she knew wouldn't end so well for her, therefore came to beg for mercy.“What? Um?” Paige slammed her right palm on her face and shook her head. She had totally forgot the person who she threw her anger on, and that was Sharon.Paige had never wished to shout out her however some unlucky situation led to such and now, Sharon thinks she is about to be beheaded.She sighed and bit her lips trying to produce a reason why she was this harsh on her.“Get up would you?” She pulled Sharon up from the floor and took her to her be
“The meeting was cancelled. Your parents fixed a date for you and Master Brian at the house. It would be terrible for you to decline it. He did not seem happy the last time you rejected him,”“.....” ..........In the Main Mansion of the Harris. The car arrived thirty minutes before the gate was closed. Eddey got off the car, glanced at the several cars parked in her father's compound and heaved an annoyed sigh. This man really did not know when to stop courting her. “Miss Harris! Here! come quick!” Brian's mother wrapped her hands lovingly around Eddey's back and gave it a little pat. She took Eddey into the house to find Brian waiting at the door step. Eddey let out a faint smile and shook his hands. “My son has been dreaming about you,” His mother chuckled placing her palms into Brian's own while she left them alone. Eddey sheepishly collected her arms and awkwardly laughed out loud.“You s
Calven rebuked her further charges against him. He closed his eyes and settled for sleep. However, it was harder than it thought. His mind kept recollecting what the old man had said. Some months ago, he met with the old man and explained what he had been feeling since his encounter with Paige. The symbol on her arms and actually what it meant. It wasn't a coincidence that the moon goddess and her shared the same twelve symbols, which gave it only one meaning, she was the moon goddess. If her rebirth story actually coincided with when he had that accident, then it only gave answers to his question. Calven scanned Paige's body as she wrapped herself in towel and removed her cloth. Her body was not snow white like Eddey's own neither was she taller and elegant like her. She was nothing compared to Eddey's beauty and the only main reason men went after her and not Eddey was because of personality issues. Asides that, Eddey was far more better
The tears she let down that day, every suffering Paige was going to make Alyssa to go through it with none left out of it!“Who are you to hold me?” She pushed his arms of her collar and adjusted her clothing. It had sought rumple on it which she dusted off. Her eyes were red, red from remembering how wicked this people were to her. She was wicked? Was she truly the one wicked in his eyes? Had he never seen her as the good one and Alyssa the bad one? Tears rolled from her eyes as her palms raised up and landed him a slap on his face. Pak!The violent loud sound came again. Everyone's attention was drawn to them and none was left out. The entire crew wanted to know what was going on. Everyone ignoring Alyssa's beg. They examined the both of them with Dylan's palms on his red cheeks and Paige tears flowing from her eyes. They both guessed that things were not well among these two, and definitely it wasn't. The media had spe
“But then again, why would I want such a 'non-beneficial' role when I could have been the movie director? Did Alyssa not tell you the news? I am the movie director!”“....” Silence dawned upon Belinda and her heavy breathing was the only sound heard through the speaker. Paige smirked knowing what Belinda was perhaps meant be thinking of and immediately her next reply confirmed it.“You cannot be too ruthless on Alyssa! Remember you used to dote on her before!” A sneering reply came again causing Paige to chuckle softly. Belinda couldn't see the atom of rage and hatred on Paige's face, however the same was not said for Alyssa. The painstaking stare at the vicious woman in front of her made Alyssa shrivel in fear. This was not the Paige she had grown up to know and scheme against. Paige was much more loveable than this current one who gave her discomfort at sight.“Mother, be rest assured, Alyssa is in great care,” Her remark hung up the call an
“I am not in the mood to talk. I have works to do other than managing your marital affairs!” Having said this, George stormed out of the office and did not take time for him to reach to the private parking lot. He bashed open his car, slammed the door and exhaled while fuming. All which was on his mind was Paige! Her beauty – everything about her infuriated him! And now, she was gone.George blankly stared at the glass window, slumped lazily on the car seat and nodded for his assistant to drive off. He was done always been the second male lead in her life! First of all, he had to distinctively plan her breakup with Dylan yet, she ran off all in the name of contract marriage with another man! How annoying could she be? His hands unconsciously clenched to the cigarette packet he had buried in the car's pouch. His brows creasing together tightly. He lit up a cigarette stick and held it in his hands. Breathing in and out the tobacco scent, G
Alyssa's eyes deepened angrily as her fist tightened on the hem of her dress. She bit her lips and raised her hands to land a slap on Paige until a hand grabbed her from behind – A firm, dangerous grip. Her lips dared not to move an inch closer as her face met with the owner of the hand. Alyssa gasped and retrieved her hand instantly. Her face turned paled and she became petrified. A rush of adrenaline kicked Alyssa back and she immediately apologized“ I am sorry...Mr. Gray!”She straightened herself whilst her angry gritting turned into a blooming smile. A smile which was able to devour the hearts of men including Dylan, however, he was lest concerned about her smile – they were all fake and deceiving besides! His eyes glanced towards Paige and he nodded lightly. He let go off Alyssa's hands and straightened his suit up.“I suggest it is best known that having such arrogant attitude won't be appreciable when working with me. Miss Alyssa, how
She said while coming down from the chair, her hands reached to the secret compartment, unlocked it and kept the book. She smiled and walked straight to Paige.“This is not a threat! I am doing this for my father. He has been through a lot without him noticing that he had been tricked .”“I understand, so it is a deal?” Her head lowered down at her phone after its second beep. It was a message from Jennie. She scrolled through the messages that was sent by her.“I won't disturb you any longer. Go settle your own issues!” Candy excused herself from the room. The door clicked shut and Paige slumped onto the chair tiredly. Many events had occurred within the past few minutes that she herself needed some days to process especially that of Candy.“So people are that wicked? ” She sighed and tapped on her caller dialer. It rang for few seconds and Jennie picked up.“Girl! Check Instagram! Your name is trending like crazy and guess what that movie,
Meanwhile, In Adams Mansion. It had been a week since Carina's return to the old mansion and since then, Belinda hadn't had enough rest. She was always careful when it came to Carina's presence and made sure she obeyed respectfully Ivan's wishes. It disgusted her to the core despite that, she cooperated and made sure her plan went smoothly. Silvan had not come to cause any trouble for her plan and Dylan suddenly had been quiet on their plan same goes for Paige. It appeared as if Paige was already gone. Today came and as usual, the house was boring. Alyssa had some unfinished shooting and Ivan was on a business trip leaving only Belinda in the house. She stayed in her room mostly and never came in contact with Carina only if such seeing was necessary.Ring! Ring! Ring! Her phone went on and on as Belinda quickly rushed for it from the bathroom to her room. Her towel wrapped tightly around her waist, she sat on the edge of the
“I see you've fallen in love with it,” Paige tilted her head to the owner of the word and gasped when she found how close he was to her. She could literally feel his breath on her lips and that, she cringed and stepped back fighting to hold off a blush from appearing on her face.“Yeah, it is beautiful, ” Paige admitted as she withdrew from his embrace and stood far away from him. Her hands tucked into her pocket as she frowned at the thought of her heart beat uncontrollably because of their closeness. Her minds were tolling with so much thoughts she hadn't noticed that Calven had grabbed her index finger and slipped the golden ruby ring into her fingers and was examining it.“Fits perfectly. Pack it up for me. Get the matching type, size six or seven,” Calven said mysteriously while the person who was attending to them rushed over with the shopping bag and a black fur case to bag the ring. When he was done, he handed it over to Calven and bowed
