"You will stay here" he said, taking the paper from her after signing it. She knew she would have to, since they were legally married. But not now. She couldn't ignore the pain in her head anymore.

His palm came down to her forehead. His hand felt so cold.

"You have a fever. What were you doing in the rain" Her tongue stole out to wet her dry lips. Edward shut his eyes. This girl! She had no idea of the effect she had on him. He took in a deep breath to calm himself down. He wasn't the type to lose control. She told him everything. It had his blood boiling as he wished he could wring their necks. He went to get some painkillers and water.

"Here" he stretched it out to her. She didn't take it, only stared at nothing in particular.

"Yesterday was mum's memorial, and he doesn't even remember. Sometimes, I really wonder if I am his daughter" she turned to Edward. "He doesn't treat me like one"

"Take this first. You can talk later" he placed the pills in her palm and she finally took it,

    His expression became more horrible as seconds passed, like he could not believe it. Of course, he couldn't."Screwing your girlfriend's sister. The nerve, huh?""Look, I can explain" his haughty attitude had vanished. She wore a lopsided smile."There's no need for that. Have a fantastic day" He tried to grab it, but she dodged, hurrying out of the house, leaving Jayden as white as a sheet. "Hello guys" she felt like a massive burden had been lifted off her shoulder as she entered her studio. Their replies were a little off, but she shrugged it off. She was in her office when she noticed the weird looks they were giving her. Dana especially. She stole glances at her, quickly looking away when she raised her head. Lily sighed and stood up. She walked towards Dana's table, her arms crossed."Out with it" she said sternly as Dana became embarrassed. "Nothing, boss" "You have been staring at me for a while now, so speak your mind. Or have I suddenly grown two horns" "Well… It's just

    Marie was not satisfied at all when her dad told her it was just for a little time. She hated the idea of going back to her former room."What the hell happened exactly?" She pressed, almost at the point of tears."You will know later" During dinner, Silvia and Rupert looked solemn, while Marie secretly glared daggers at Lily. What she had for Lily was not dislike anymore, but hatred. But Lily didn't care. She could go to hell.Rupert cleared his throat, his eyes on Lily."You didn't tell me you were dating someone else?" She raised a brow, feigning ignorance. "What do you mean, Dad?" "Do you know Edward Beau?" Her eyes went up for a moment, her index finger tapping her chin, like she wanted to remember who that was. "Oh, yes. I know him. Why do you ask?""He said you are his girlfriend" He had decided not to leave the house that day, and stayed home with his wife. He was overexcited when he saw the last person he ever imagined he would see on his doorstep. He already deviced diff

    She stared at the thick piece of paper in her hand with mixed feelings. Her marriage certificate. The testament that she had become one with this man she had met only about a week ago. "Anything wrong?" He asked, worried about her silence. "No… I just don't believe I am married. We just met" she pointed out. "Are you scared?""Scared? About what? Why should I be?""Scared to be with me""No. I am not. I just don't believe it" He nodded."Of course. You married the most powerful man in the country, it will definitely be surreal" he said seriously. She shook her head. This man. He was a narcissist!"About the consummation......" She quickly placed her forefinger on his lips to keep him quiet. She quickly withdrew it when she realized what she did."We can't do that now. I have a lot of things to put in place, and having kids is not one of them…. for now" she added. His face was on the wall, silent. She knew it didn't sit well with him, but what could she do? Silvia and her daughter w

    "Take a guess, guys" Lily said as she entered the studio, excitement apparent in her voice."Uh… I am not so good at guessing" Dana said."Me neither" Brick seconded."Come on. Just guess. It is good news" "Uhm…. You are pregnant?" Dana said."What! What are you saying?" Dana shrugged. "You are married, so it isn't a crime" she said innocently. Lily flushed a little."No, that is not it. I'll just say it" she paused. " WE ARE MOVING!" it took a while for the words to register. Dana screamed at the top of her lungs, scrambling out of her chair and running to Lily."Is…. Is it true? We are really moving?" Lily nodded, an endear smile on her lips. "OMG! I can't believe this. Can we see it?""Sure. But after closing hours, we could go check it out together" she already did and loved it. But there was no harm in letting her team members see it too. She headed to her office to call the real estate agent who found the place, so she could wire the money to his account. "Can you send your

    "Hell no!" She almost screamed. She calmed down when she received weird looks from the servants. "That wasn't what I meant""Oh. So, what do you mean?" "I don't want you to give it to him. Deny him entry anytime he comes to your company" He nodded. "Alright" She was surprised. He agreed just like that, without even asking her the reason? He would probably have a bad view of her. A bad daughter."You wouldn't ask me why?" "There is no need for that. I will do anything you say"Badum! Badum! Badum! Her heart beat sped up. He always made her blush effortlessly. She buried her face in her food."Here" she looked up to see him extending a green folder to her."What is this?" She asked, accepting the item."Check it" she gingerly opened the file. Her eyes widened, and her mouth opened in surprise."You actually got me shares in a short timeframe. Oh my God," her eyes went back to the document. It was 8%. She had 8% shares of Portico now. She could hardly believe it."Is that enough? I co

    Rupert's brows were drawn together. "Jayden? Your sister's boyfriend" "They already broke up" she hated the way everyone called him that."You cannot date him" he said with a tone of finality. He cared less when Lily dated him. She wasn't useful anyway. But Marie. He was going to look for the best man for her."Why?" She whined. His expression softened."He doesn't fit you. Don't worry. I will find someone else who fits our class" "No dad. I love Jayden""I said no!" He thundered and Marie flinched."I'm pregnant for him""What! You....." His face turned red from anger. "Jayden isn't bad. His company is promising and will bloom with just a little help. Please, give him a chance, dad""Get out!" He said. She unhappily stood up and left. She met her mother waiting for her. "What happened between you and your father?" She shrugged. "He didn't approve my relationship""You have a boyfriend?" Silvia asked. "Yes""Who is it?""Jayden""Jayden? The same Jayden" "Yes mum""Why didn't

    She raised her chin. "Why can't I be here?" Rupert tried to tamp down his anger."Go back home. This isn't child's play" She chuckled. "This is a shareholders meeting, am I right? Then I have every right to be here...... because I am also a shareholder" she watched her father's fury increase by the minute. The shareholders also watched the drama between the duo."You are talking nonsense. Leave now when I'm being nice" she almost rolled her eyes. When was he ever nice? She reached into her bag, round the table to where he was seated, and dropped a folder before him. "Take a look, president Savage" she emphasized on president. He violently opened the folder. His expression became extremely awful. She now owned 8% of the company's shares? He was about to stand up to hit her when he remembered that people were present. He could not suppress his anger. "What do you mean by this?" Lily tilted her head. "I don't understand you. It's mum's company and it's only natural to be here" She sm

    Marie was starting to feel embarrassed. Why wasn't he kissing her? Just when she decided she would do it herself, he leaned forward and gave her a light peck on her lips. They eventually proceeded to the reception. "Finally" Lily groaned. Her eyes lit up at the large array of food. She gulped. "This is the only good thing about this party" Edward laughed. He paused when he saw Rupert, Jayden, and Marie walking towards them. Lily noticed too. "Mr Beau" he stretched out his hands. Edward didn't take it. He awkwardly retreated. Lily resisted the urge to laugh. "Lily, why did you not tell us Mr Beau was coming?" "I told her not to" Edward replied emotionlessly. Rupert was speechless and embarrassed. Lily did not feel bad about it. She loved the way he put them in their places. She looked at the newly wedded couple and took a glass from a waiter. She walked up to Marie. "Congratulations. I wish you happiness in your marriage" she clinked her glass against Marie's. "And you too, broth

    She drove away in a sour mood. Though she had readied herself that Marie could really be Rupert's child, she was still sorely disappointed.She picked up her phone when it rang."Hello Miss Savage. Can you come back to the hospital, please? It is very urgent" It was the doctor who had done the test. She did a U-turn in the direction of the hospital. "I am so sorry, Miss Savage. I gave you the wrong paternity test results. Can you give it back, please?" Indeed, she didn't know the names there. She returned it, and he gave her the right one."I'm truly sorry" "It's alright"She opened the paper and was stunned.Probability of paternity: 0%She threw her head back and laughed in happiness. Silvia and Marie. Those worthless humans. It was over for them.************"Why have you called us here?" A shareholder asked impatiently. Rupert almost snapped, but he reminded himself he had to gain their sympathy. If only he had not lost his position, they wouldn't dare disrespect him this way.

    "I am on my way to your place, Nana" she said, on the phone with Nana. Just as Edward had predicted, she felt extremely guilty and sorry when she learned her dad tried to kill her, just because she knew their secret."I missed you so.......ah!" She screamed as she felt a car bump into her from behind multiple times. She had forgotten to wear her seatbelt and hit her against the steering wheel. She became dizzy, and her head bled."Lily! Are you alright?" Nana asked worried on the end. The car didn't stop wrecking havoc on hers. It was a bit bigger and was fortified, so it had not even a single cent. The driver, who was in black sunglasses, and face cap, drove forward and peered into her car. He found her slumped against the wheel, her head was stained with blood. He then drove away.Nana ended the phone when she heard no sound coming from the other end and called Edward, explaining everything to him. He sprang up in the middle of the meeting and ran out. His hands on the wheel shook

    Jayden drove crazily towards the hotel in mad rage. He stormed into the elevator, heading towards the room. The room number was included in the message. He didn't knock, and burst in. The sight that greeted him had blue veins popping in his head. Marie was on her knees naked, giving a stinking old man a blow job."Marie!" He bellowed. She scrambled up when she realized he was there. "Jay..... Jayden? What.....you…." She had no idea what to say. It was sudden. "You have been cheating on me" he narrowed his eyes dangerously. She shook her head."No. I…. I did it for you and your company. If it was failing and…. and he offered to help""Helping me by fucking another man?" Suddenly, out of nowhere, a slap landed on her face. She screamed and she saw stars. She fell immediately."So you are the one. You are the bitch sleeping with my husband!" She screeched. Marie looked up. Towering over her was an ugly fat woman, with thick makeup. She wore expensive jewelry. She didn't need anyone t

    "Success!" She texted her husband the moment she entered the elevator. He replied almost immediately."Hm. Congratulations. Meet me at the entrance" She raised a brow. That fast?She saw him as soon as she reached outside."I am so honored to have esteemed president Savage in my car" she chuckled. "It was all because of your lawyer. He did really well. Rupert could not win against him" she fastened her seatbelt, and noticed his face had become silky."What is it now?" "Stop praising another man other than me" he said sourly."Alright. Alright. I will keep that in mind from now on. All of this happened, thanks to you. Mr husband is the best!" she sealed it with a kiss, and pulled back when he was going to deepen it. "Are you happy now?" He nodded with a smile."What are you going to do now?" "I will take full care of my mum's company and destroy those imbeciles..... for good. Before I can do that, I need evidence. Solid evidence that Rupert killed my mum. I won't let him get away"

    She rolled her eyes. "Shouldn't you be tell that to yourself? Creating a fake will because the existent one did not favor you" she smirked. "How much more desperate can you get?" Rupert gritted his teeth."Stop your madness this instant!""I definitely will after getting my shares!" she sent a brief message on her phone, and a few minutes later, Mr Miller, the lawyer of Beau corporation, walked in."Who is this?" He asked."If you doubt the authenticity of this document, I have brought someone who can recognize a fake or real at a glance. This is barrister Miller, Beau corporation lawyer" The room erupted in soft whispers. They could not believe they were seeing the country's top lawyer in the flesh. She beckoned him over."From what I can tell, this document is a hundred percent genuine. I suggest you return the shares that are meant for her. If not, we will take legal actions" he pointed at both of them, as he tried to get words out, but it failed him. He fell back on the chair. How

    Edward pulled up at a law firm. Stuart law firm was boldly written at the top."This is the place?" Lily asked. "Let's find out" They met the receptionist and inquired from her. They were directed to the next floor, to the managing partner's office. The man was sweating bullets when he realized who the people before him were. His hands shook when he personally served them tea. "May I ask why President Beau is here in my humble office?"Lily took a sip of her tea, making herself look as intimidating as possible. "We are here to look for someone? Paul LaVyrle. That is his name" He frowned a little. "I have never heard that name before. I only started working here as an interim, so I'm afraid I do not know much" Lily sighed. "You mean he isn't working here?" He shook his head."If he was, I should have heard his name" Edward's brows creased. Was his information wrong? It has been nineteen years already. Maybe he wasn't working there anymore. Lily stood up. "Thanks for your time"

    "I..... I need to use the bathroom" she tried to leave, but Edward held her back, an evil smile on his lips. "Trying to run away?" "What are you talking about? I'm not—" The rest of her words were swallowed by a kiss. She tried to resist at first, but gave it when she could no longer stand the pleasure. It was just a kiss and her panties were wet already. After a few more kisses, he took off his robe and Lily's, and went down to business. With one deep thrust, Edward entered her. Lily gaped. Her head was spinning, and she felt so hot as he thrust deep into her. Her nipples had become hard, and they stared at him, calling him. She moved her hips, meeting and welcoming his thrusts. Her fingers scratched his back, leaving marks on him. Her insides clenched him greedily, and she could feel him throbbing inside her. He growled, licking and kissing her earlobes. He held her buttocks and raised it a little, slowly he took out his cock, then slid in again, rubbing his balls against her. He

    She had tried all she could to remember what happened last night. Nothing came. She had no idea how she returned home.However, everything came rushing back when she arrived at the studio's entrance. She...... she had confessed to him! Her heart thumped desperately. She wanted to run back home. How should she face him? She hated herself for getting drunk. To make matters worse, Brick arrived at that exact time. She prayed the ground would open and swallow her up. She refused to meet his eyes. "Good morning" he greeted with a smile. She replied, her face beet red from embarrassment. They entered the studio together. She willed herself to gather the courage to speak to him, but before she could say a word, Brick beat her to it."About last night" she gulped. He sighed, not knowing how to proceed. "You are a very beautiful woman, Dana. You deserve someone who will treat you like a queen. I appreciate your feelings towards me, but I'm sorry, I cannot reciprocate it. I don't view you in

    He was Rafe Moore, the president of Moore industries. He had made quite a name for himself in the business world. He saw Marie during one of the balls she had attended with her husband, and became immediately interested in her.He tried talking to her back then, but there were too many people around, and she clung to her husband like a leech, going nowhere else. His opportunity came when he heard Jayden's business was falling. He got her number through some dirty means and texted her. He had thought she was uninterested when he didn't receive her answer, and was overjoyed when she replied. He was finally alone with her. She shifted a little when he sat beside her. "Can you please put on some clothes" she was uncomfortable sitting beside his naked body. He wasn't far like most wealthy men, but he was too this, that he looked like he could break any moment."How do you want to help me?" She asked after he wore a bathrobe."Don't worry about that. Just know that I can make your husband'
