Regan had entered the restaurant to have his dinner after escaping a busy day at work. He always had his meal at the restaurant when he didn't feel like cooking and today was one of the days he didn't feel like cooking. He then came across the three girls the moment he entered. Of course, he recognised them as Adalyn's high school enemies as they had caused lots of dramas then. They didn't seem to noticed him as they were deeply into their conversation and that was when he heard Talisa and Adalyn were inside. He decided to go take a look but was surprised to see a shaken Adalyn and a dazed Talisa. He was so bedazzled when he heard Adalyn say Talisa was tearing up non stop.His forehead furrowed when he heard that. It was also a surprise to him especially after seeing it himself. The Talisa he knew never showed emotions, not crying especially. She was the kind to act cool even when she was supposed to be scared."Tally, are you okay?" He asked Tentatively but none of them expected he
"How about we have a match? You all against me" "What! Regan, don't be too confident in yourself. If the four of us gang up against you, do you think you'll win?" Sebastian, who had been quiet decided to join in. Regan smirked "You've never been able to beat me, what makes you think you'll win now?" "Over confident bastard, you'll be surprised to find yourself beaten to a pulp, I bet you" Matthew replied him as he also grabbed a keyboard. "Don't come crying when you can handle it no more" Carlos said as he also grabbed a keyboard. Regan cracked his fingers then placed them on the keyboard "Let's see who will cry after the game, no?" "Let's begin" And they did. It was a combat game were you level up after beating up someone stronger than you until you become invincible enough to start killing high leveled Monsters. You can't start killing monsters without being in an high level. The five heirs of the top five families in the country actually were involved in the creation of th
Talisa slowly opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar room, wondering where she was. Her gaze moved to the IV connected to her hand, which made her realise where she was.'How did I get here?' She questioned herself as she had no memory of coming here at all. Her memory was hazy and she could only remember she was at the restaurant with Adalyn and those group of girls came to provoke them and that was the end of her memory.The door to her ward opened and she was surprised to see Adalyn walking in. Adalyn had went to get breakfast for both of them, she wasn't expecting Talisa to have woken up by now. Nevertheless, she was happy to see her friend awake."Thank God you are finally awake, I was getting worried already" She sat beside her and held her hand.Talisa opened her parched lips to speak to her but her throat was dry. Adalyn quickly passed her a cup of water. "Why am i here? What happened?" She asked after drinking the full cup and making sure her throat wasn't dey anym
Tiana decided to indeed stop looking at her that way because it wasn't polite."Was the Vice President in the company when you left?" Talisa asked in the midst of her work. The bástard was always punctual to work, regardless of whatever happens and so she was sure he must be at work by now. She only wanted to confirm.Tiana nodded "Yes but I'm not sure he's aware I left the company. He was with his new personal assistant when I saw him..." She then stopped and looked at Talisa."But Boss, are the VP and his new personal assistant close? They seemed to be getting along well for her first day at work. She even seemed pretty comfortable around him" She had been so surprised to see their Vice president who hardly gets along with people, being close to his new personal assistant that she couldn't contain her curiosity.Talisa raised up her head with a smirk. Of course they knew one another too well, even. Those pair of cheating couples couldn't even hide their affection from others. "Yes, s
"I understand you, Miss" He chortled as he replied her "I'll tell my boss about it and get back to you" "Thank you, I'll be awaiting your positive response" She hung up and slammed her hand on the desk unconsciously. "What President Thurnwald? My boss is good enough with her name alone" She was disgusted by hearing that name alone, not to talk of it being attached to her boss, but decided it was better she get back to her work as there were lots to be done.Alonzo turned to his boss who was eyeing him with curiousity. Regan had his hand under his chin as he regarded Alonzo with a curious gaze. He wanted to know what was amusing his assistant and couldn't wait to hear it. The gossipy part of him was awakened at that moment."Who was that?" Alonzo moved closer to him and replied "President Thurn- Wauter's personal assistant. She called to ask when you'll be free enough to meet her boss. Seems there's an important matter on ground" Regan couldn't help but filter out all Alonzo had sa
In fact, it was a mystery to her how Adalyn didn't tell them of her wedding. "I'll take care of him myself. It wouldn't be satisfying to have others take my revenge" She finally replied him. In as much as making others do the work for her sounds nice, she wouldn't allow anyone get their hands dirty because of those filthy two, they weren't worth it."Okay fine, but whatever you do, keep him alive because we definitely would deal with him too" Talisa smiled "Aye sir! Tell the others I said 'hi' I've missed you all""Sure, take care of yourself" "You too" She then passed the cellphone back to Adalyn, since it seems he had something to say to her. "You had something to tell me, Mr Lewiston?" Adalyn said to him after collecting the phone."I finally decided to propose marriage to Elina today" he broke the news to her, sounding excited.The brother and sister duo were used to informing one another of every major or minor changes in their lives, so it was no surprise he told her before
All that was on Talisa's mind in that moment was 'like you did for Liz' She wondered what that meant and so she was waiting for Adalyn to get off the phone and explain what was going on to her. Adalyn pursed her lips, there was a brewing anger in her which she was trying to keep down but it doesn't seem to be working "He was telling Liz off for having a cheating husband when he has a cheating girlfriend?" She couldn't believe it. Elina was too clean in hiding her flaws that she didn't suspect a thing. At least with Steve, she had a bad feeling about it but Elina gave no bad impression at all."At least, Elina isn't pregnant with her sidekick's child and they aren't married yet behind his back" He resorted sarcastically then continued with a sigh "I believe you both are trying to crash this event, right? But I suggest you turn back cuz I won't allow you. I painstakingly made everything and I won't allow you destroy it. Matthew deserves whatever he get after tonight" Regan replied merc
Talisa immediately turned stiff. That was true. The cruise was indeed his and that was why when the accident happened, he was the one who bared the responsibility for it. She now recalled the news she saw during those years while she was holed up in the house when Steve didn't allow her go out. She watched the news to keep updated with everything going on and that was how she knew. And now she realised it wasn't a surprise how he was asking her how she knew something was wrong with the cruise and if she was working with whoever was planning on going against him. It wasn't even like she was capable of hurting him any longer. "I swear I wouldn't do anything to hurt your company or yourself" She promised him since she couldn't tell him how she knew. Her promise should be enough for him to know she wouldn't work against him, right? But Regan only proved her wrong.His eyes only turned blank "Such fancy words coming from someone like you. I don't remember being hurt ever in my life by
Rebirth of the scorned wife Chapter 57 Adalyn immediately turned to her boyfriend and went to sit beside him the moment she recalled she had unknowingly ignored him."You are not angry, right?" She asked, battering her lashes at him pitifully. Since Carlos couldn't stay angry at her, he sighed helplessly and replied "I'm not" Tristan rolled his eyes at him "You both aren't even married yet but I can guess you'll be a henpecked husband when that time comes" "And what's wrong with being an henpecked husband?" Carlos retorted."Good question. Our men should listen to us as we are always right and they shouldn't even pick fights with us, isn't that right, honey?" Talisa says then glanced at Regan who immediately nodded in agreement with her. "We all know Regan is pussywhipped so he probably won't disagree" Sebastian replied with a sneer, Regan glared at him."You all should stop arguing on someone's engagement party. We understand you guys are in an happy relationship but would you
Tiana sat at her dressing table as she was being made up for her engagement party. There were several stylists in her room and even make up artists. Her father really went out of his way for the party."It's all done" The make up artist said as she took a good look at Tiana."Oh my! who is this beauty?" She exclaimed and that made Tiana smiled. She was satisfied with her looks. She stood up then walked to were the dress options were. There were different dresses laid in front of her and she was having an hard time deciding which to pick as they were all very pretty. "It's so hard to pick one" She says as her eyes skimmed through the dresses. Why would they give her so many beautiful options, it was damn hard to pick one! Finally, her eyes managed to stay on one and she decided to pick it. "Miss Accardi surely have eyes for good stuffs. Your choice is literally the best" One of the stylists praised her as they helped her put on the dress. The dress was a cream coloured silky dress
It wasn't even up to an hour yet, when Regan heard a 'beep' sound which indicated there was a message from his phone. He clicked on it and saw the information Xander had sent to him. His lips curled up in an evil smile when he realised who was playing with him. He glanced at Alonzo who had been quietly watching him, then stretched out his phone so he could also take a look at the message also. "Send the details to Carlos, tell him to take care of it" "Okay, Boss" Alonzo then walked out of the office to carry out his order. Meanwhile, Regan continued his work because he had lots to do. Alonzo returned shortly, telling him he had carried out the order. Regan nodded in understanding before continuing his work. It was evening time and Regan was still working. The door of his door opened and Alonzo entered with another stack of files which he need to go through. Regan glared at the files as if they would disappear if he does that, then he sighed heavily."Where are these ones coming
Sebastian rested his hand under his chin as he looked out of the car window. The meeting between their parents had been successful and the engagement date was just in three days. Their parents gave the excuse that both of them had delayed the engagement for long so it couldn't be postponed further. Like it was his fault, wasn't Tiana the one who ran away?"Bro, stop being gloomy and cheer up" He heard the annoying voice of his younger brother which made him glare at the latter. "I'm not gloomy" Their parents had taken a different car for their supposed privacy while Sebastian was stuck with his annoying brother in this car. Angelo finally put down his phone then fully faced his brother "You can't get out of this marriage, hope you know that? It's even worst now that the girl is interested in you" "I know. One can only get out of an arranged marriage in the Mafia through death" He interjected. Silently praying for his brother to keep quiet. The reason he was thinking was because o
Tiana had gotten dressed in a gorgeous Purple dress which hug her figure in all the right places. Her Fiancé and his family were coming over that night for their union. She was applying makeup to her face when she heard a knock on the door to her room."Who is it?" She asked and the door slightly opened, revealing her older brother, Roberto who was peeking his head inside. She smiled when she saw he was the one."You should come in. Why are you peeking inside like a thief?" Roberto chuckled as he opened the door, wider enough for him to pass through. "Little sis seems more accommodating than usual, is it because you are now the personal assistant to the president of a company?" He says as he walked towards her then plopped his bottom on one of the chair in her room. Roberto had same features as Tiana, so, it wasn't hard to know they were siblings. Only that his features were more pronounced and manly. Tiana scoffed then continued applying her make up "I'm only accomodating becaus
Regan looked into her determined eyes with his scorching ones and suddenly, he bursted into laughter. His deep throaty laughter did something in her stomach and her eyes widened as she wasn't expecting him to laugh at all. The guy she had loved all her life was weird, like really weird and now she was actually seeing the side of him he had never allowed her to see in the past. "Bambina, why are you being so serious, hmm? You came barging into my house and doing all sort of things and now you are threatening me?" He then started moving and now she was the one trapped between him. Talisa didn't listen to anything else he had said after she heard him call her 'Bambina'. 'Doesn't that mean I'm on the lover stage?' 'If he calls me that then it means we are fine, right?' She wondered and Regan actually noticed her distracted look. He sighed before releasing her and started walking away. The moment Regan began walking away, she immediately came back to her senses and held him back. "Do
Adalyn heard what her friend had said and she glared at her."What do you mean by me spending company money on shopping? Women like me shouldn't appear in an event, looking out of place" "I sincerely pity Carlos for his future appears bleak at this moment" Talisa replied as she stood up in order to go continue her work. Adalyn only stuck out her tongue as she uttered "He isn't complaining" "When you go back home, remember to text me when the engagement party would be so I can clear my schedule" Talisa ignored her friend to reply to Tiana."No problem" *** It was some minutes past nine in the evening. Tiana had left earlier because she went home to prepare for her journey which was going to happen the next day. Adalyn had also went home when it was the usual time for everyone to finish work for the day.Talisa turned off the light in her office as she walked out. The floor she was was quiet like there was no living being in it but she could see the lights in some office on, which
It's been two weeks since FW's exhibition and the company's status has risen higher as it was everywhere on news and Magazines that even big companies were seeking to collaborate with them. Another news that had spread like wildfire was the the fact that the ex vice president of FW, who was also the ex husband of the President of FW had been cheating on her with someone he had introduced to her as his cousin.The public had sympathize with her and immediately Talisa had presented the divorce papers and now she has been single for the past two weeks.The company had became busy than ever and no one even complained when Talisa brought in a new Vice president, who apparently was a woman this time. And they had no reason to complain because their new VP was extremely nice and friendly to everyone. In the President's office, four girls were occupying the couch that were facing one another. Two on each couch.Elina had came to visit Talisa today and the other two girls had left their offic
*Warning: This scene might be uncomfortable for some people, so you are free to skip*Steve opened his eyes, albeit painfully,. and checked his surroundings. Even with his eyes opened, it was no different from when it was closed as the place he was was utterly dark. He could hear the continuous tapping of something, like water was dropping and that was what made him realise he was standing inside water. He froze then tried to move his body, only to notice it had been tied to a pole-like structure. He grunted as he moved around relentlessly.Where the hell was he? "You are finally awake" He heard voice which sounded like the angels from hell were beckoning him to come. He flinched."Who are you? Why are you keeping me here?!" He bellowed as he struggled to get freed from whatever was typing him down but he only heard the clanking of metals around him.He could hear footsteps advancing towards him, then suddenly it stopped and blinding light shone. He was finally able to see where he
