Arthur and Cassandra's negotiations went well.Arthur agreed to revive southern inc, without demanding anything in return, even when Cassandra insisted on giving him ten percent shares in the companies, but Arthur uprightly refused.Arthur wanted nothing in return since he felt bad for making the Cohen family suffer by making their company, southern incs go bankrupt, all because of someone who doesn't even own a share in the company. But more than that, he knew a company like southern incs will be useful in the future.After the negotiations were done, Cassandra left the place a happy person, but before she left, she invited Arthur for dinner at the Cohen's Villa. As expected Arthur turned her down, so she offered to treat him to lunch or dinner some day when he's free, and Arthur agreed on one condition: only if they made it a date, and Cassandra agreed.Why not go on a date? Cassandra was pretty and intelligent. Anyway now Arthur was divorced, so he could date anyone he wants.After
Victoria finally managed to make Stacey hate Arthur by showing Stacey a bunch of fake pictures that showed Arthur kissing another woman. Not only that, but when Stacey got home from the court, Hailey told her sister that Arthur hit on her plenty of times, and he also did the exact same thing at the court…and Stacey believed her sister.After hearing and believing Hailey and her mom's lies, Stacey felt guilty for going against her family for someone who slept with rich girls for their money, she felt disgusted by Arthur's actions. She apologized to her family members for bringing Arthur into their lives and for always going against them because of him. Gwendolyn and Victoria took advantage of Stacey's guilt by asking her to marry Caine. And Stacey agreed in an attempt to make her family members forgive her.Even so, when Stacey went to a night club with with Caine, Stacey was enraged to see Arthur's smug face.*"So where is your little slut?" Stacey asked, staring fixedly at Arthur. It
After 30 minutes of trying to make herself hate Arthur even more, Stacey came down for breakfast, with a huge smile on her face. Stacey hated Arthur because she believed he brainwashed her into turning against her family members."Morning?" Stacey greeted, as she sat at the dining table next to her Grandmother Gwendolyn."Morning?" Everyone greeted back, almost in unison."How was your night, dear." Victoria asked, as she served Stacey. Stacey's mouth hung open as she watched her mom serve her for the first time in 2 and half years. Her heart melted."It was great." Stacey replied, flashing a brief smile at her mom, she looked at her grandmother and flashed a smile at her, but she got disappointed when Gwendolyn didn't look at her. "One of the bestest nights I've ever had in two years anyways…." Stacey added, stealing another glance at her grandma.'Finally I slept in a quiet and peaceful room without hearing someone's begging voice,' Stacey thought to herself, taking a bite off her s
"What? What do you mean we're going bankrupt?" Wade yelled at his butler, disbelief in his eyes, as he glared at the butler who had delivered the news."I don't know Master Duhamel, but I just got a call, the investors are pulling out their investments …." The butler paused and raised his head, his eyes meeting with Wade's angry eyes, as he continued, "And the Stark's have terminated…." Before he couldn't finish his sentence, Wade fell to the ground, touching his heart. He was having a heart attack. At the same moment, Stacey and Caine walked hand in hand, only to see Wade Duhamel having a stroke on the floor, while the butler tried to help him."Dad! What's going on here!?" Caine ran after his dad, feeling worried, "Stacey, call an ambulance, quick!" Caine instructed with teary eyes as he looked at his dad.Wade couldn't speak, all he could do was glare at his son, he must have offended someone, with his smug personality. But whom did he offend?*** Two hours before the inevitable b
[Duhamel Villa]"Stacey, call an ambulance, quick!" Caine instructed Stacey, looking at his dad with concerned eyes.Wade couldn't speak, all he could do was glare at his son, wondering who his son must have offended. Who did he mess with?What was more shocking to him, was the fact that even the Stark's decided to terminate the contract they had with his company."Stacey, call the freaking ambulance!" Caine instructed, looking at his dad who had now passed out. Caine started giving his dad CPR.Panicking, Stacey took out her cell phone from her purse, but her hands were shaking for some reason and the cell phone fell.The sound of the phone falling to the ground had Caine glare at her."Bitch! are you even trying!" Caine yelled at Stacey, his eyes bloodshot. "Pick the damn phone up and call an ambulance! If something happens to my dad because you failed to make a simple phone call, I swear to God, I'll make you pay you stupid, bitch." Caine continued, staring lividly at Stacey.The l
"You did what?" Mrs. Gwendolyn asked anger and fear visible in her eyes when she heard that they've offended Arthur.Realizing Gwendolyn was angry no one dared to say a word, knowing that will only get them in trouble.Letting out a deep sigh, Mrs. Gwendolyn gazed at everyone's faces on the dining table, stopping her gaze on Stacey she said, "No one will bother that boy from now on, for all we know, he might be the one who made the Duhamel's go bankrupt." Gwendolyn's words caused murmuring and laughter around the dining table. Benson laughed pretty hard, tears came out of his eyes. "HAHAHA! You mean, that piece of nothing might be some rich person?..." Benson asked, shifting his gaze to his parents, but they didn't answer him since they were afraid of looking like they were disrespecting Mrs. Gwendolyn. They just looked at him with a disapproving look.Benson shifted his gaze to Stacey and asked, "Stacey, you know that worthless guy better than any of us… what do you think? Is he s
Loraine was sitting on the driver's seat of her Rolls-Royce, clenching and unclenching her fists on the steering wheel, as she waited for Arthur and Andrea to come out of the house. Every second that passed without seeing Arthur and Andrea walk out of that house, felt like an eternity to Loraine."Are they planning to come out?" Loraine asked, a hint of irritation in her voice.The fact that she had been waiting In her Rolls Royce for more than five minutes irritated her. What irritated her more is Arthur's recent interest in her friend, Andrea.Sighing exasperatedly, Loraine looked at Edward. "Go get them." Loraine said.Edward glanced at his wrist, looked at Loraine with a smile, and replied, "Relax, they'll be here." "I can't trust Andrea can I?" Loraine asked, resting her head on the seat.Smiling weakly, Edward leaned towards her, "I don't know, I don't know her well." Edward said.Seeing Arthur have an interest in some other girl always made Loraine jealous. She expected Arthur

But seeing as she didn't get along with her parents, Courtney didn't want to go with her parents, so she decided to ask her best friend Stacey to accompany her. But seeing as it was at night, Courtney was doubting if Stacey would agree to accompany her. But still, after thinking about it for some time, she decided to try and ask her friend to accompany her, and to her surprise, Stacey agreed.Stacey eagerly agreed to go to the party, knowing that grandmother Gwendolyn will be proud of her if she makes friends with Mr. Stark. Who knows, maybe in the future, one of the companies under the Stark consortium will collaborate with their company.What both Stacey and Courtney didn't expect was to see Arthur at such an exquisite party. They all knew that Arthur was not qualified to go to such a party. After some time Stacey figured he was here with one of his many girlfriends.As usual, Stac

After hearing the news that they had been attacked, Dane and Amber rushed outside the room. To their shock when they got to the hall, it was a slaughter house there. A lot of Danes people were laying dead or severely injured on the ground.It was horrible there, and Amber was terrified, she couldn't stay a second longer, as she was afraid she might lose her life just like the people she was seeing laying on the ground. With those thoughts in mind, Amber decided to use tbe back door to escape. She turned to run, but Dane abruptly gripped on her arm. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Dane asked, confused about what she was doing. This was the time to stick together, was what he thought. But Amber had other ideas, she wanted to save herself."What do you mean? I'm leaving, and if you want to survive too, you must get out of this damn place." Amber said, and then she turned to walk out. But then she heard Dane chuckling, like a mad man, and she couldn't help but turn to look at
Dane knew he had been discovered and it was over for him. And he didn't want to face Elena's wrath, and so he disappeared using his abilities.After Dane disappeared Arthur turned to his mom, with a curt look. "I want you to get out!" He demanded coldly. Everything was his mom's fault… was what he believed. If his mom didn't get involved with Dane, then his parents wouldn't have died. And now he just wanted to kill Dent with his own bare hands, but unfortunately he had escaped."Dear, I'm so sorry…" Elena apologized, but she knew that not even her apology could make up for what she had put her son through. First she left him when he was just an infant, and she never checked on him to se how he was doing, not until when he was about twelve years old. But she didn't stay longer either, she only stayed for a few days and left."Just get out, witch…. You heard my grandson." Christian angrily said.Elena glanced at Arthur before turning and walking out of the dining room, with Kevin followi
"He even used my men to do the job, he used them to take out the guards. And after that he shot Zane Stark and his wife with his own gun."Alvaro dropped a bomb on Arthur and everyone, including his mom. She couldn't believe her husband was the murderer of her ex husband."No, it can't be, you're lying?" Elena didn't want to believe it. She just wished what Alvaro said was lying, but unfortunately it was the truth.She couldn't have guessed that her husband was the one who killed her son's father and his step mom. But why would he do such a thing? "I swear, I'm telling the truth, why would I lie to you?" Alvaro asked, he was shivering in fear. He knew Elena was a cold woman, and she never hesitated to take a person's life.Arthur and his grandfather were angry at Elena after they heard Alvaro's confession, Dane was her husband, so it was her fault. "so, is this all your fault?" Arthur asked, glaring at his mom. He felt betrayed by his mom once again, but this time the pain of getting
Inside the study room, Arthur and his grandfather sat across from each other, while Jared was standing over them, explaining something about Alvaro."Master stark, we have tried for a while, but that criminal doesn't utter a word about the murder…. I'm afraid we are going to have to look for other ways to find the Killer." Jared said to Arthur and Christian.Out of all the people, Alvaro was the only one who knew who killed Arthur's parents, but he had refused to speak, even when they beat him up and tortured him, he didn't tell. And that's because he was afraid that if he tells, he and his loved ones might die a painful death, as the people or person who killed Arthur's parents were dangerous, and they wouldn't hesitate to harm him or the people close to him.Arthur was disappointed with what Jared just said. "Well, so are you just going to hand him to the police now?" Arthur asked."No, not until he talks," Christian Stark said. There was no way he was going to hand Alvaro to the po
"My son, might have just reached another level of hatred for me, and it's all because of you." Elena angrily said. Danes expression saddened. "Honey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to." He apologized. But deep down he wasn't even sorry, it was what he wanted. He would do anything to make sure Arthur and his mom don't make up. After all if that happens, then that means Arthur would take his place as the next head of the Mafia. And he didn't want that, and there was no way he was going to let it happen.'Looks like i couldn't eliminate the bastard just like I did his daddy and step mommy, but I guess I'll have to use other means to get him out of the picture and get what I want.' Dane Dent thought to himself.Meanwhile outside the Villa on the garage.'Well, that explains why she left, for all these years.' Arthur thought to himself as he was sitting on his car, tapping his fingers on the wheel.Sighing exasperatedly, he rested his head on the seat, and his thoughts drifted to Amber. Who woul
There was silence between Arthur and Stacey for sometime.Honestly, Arthur would be lying to himself if he said he didn't still love Stacey. He still did. Maybe not as much as he loved her before, but he still did love her, more than he could love any other love interest. "So, you and my mom… you get along pretty well." Arthur said, with a smile as he raised his head to look at Stacey.Stacey smiled back, and sat on the sofa next to him as she replied. "Yeah, we do get along pretty well, she is a nice woman." Stacey said sincerely. "You're lucky to have a mother like her." She added. Elena had been so nice to her, and in a short time, she had become more of a mother to her, than her real mom was.Arthur chuckled lightly. "Yeah, she left me and my dad when I was just a baby, so tell me how lucky I am." Hearing Arthur talk badly about his own mother, Stacey frowned slightly, and then she looked Arthur in the eyes, as she said. "Well, I think she had no choice, and there was reason beh
Due to anger and wanting to intimidate Elena, she can stay out of her way, Amber decided to tell Elena about all the horrible things she had done, just so Elena could be scared of her and stay out of her way. So she ended up blurting out her motives to Elena, including the fact that she killed Caine and Isaac Duhamel. But little did she know that Elena wanted her to blurt out her secrets to her, in fact she was recording.On top of that, Arthur overhead her. And he was shocked and heartbroken to hear what she was saying. Knowing she had been discovered, Amber didn't try to hide her true intentions anymore.."Amber, we are sorry for your parents' deaths… but it was an accident, no one meant for that to happen." Christian Stark apologized wholeheartedly, as he walked down the stairs into the living room, where Arthur Elena and Amber stood. He still felt guilty for what happened to Amber's parents, even though it was not his flt.Amber turned and looked at him with a cold expression on
Christian Stark was in the study room going through some files. Trying to find something the cops might have missed on the investigation of his son and daughter-in-laws murder case. He couldn't believe that despite his money and power, he still couldn't find the murderer, even after years of investigating. He even hired the best investigators in the world, but even they still couldn't find who killed his son and daughter-in-law.The sound of the door opening had Christian Stark take his eyes off the desk to look at Jared who had just entered the study room. With his head lowered Jared spoke up after some silence. "Karim Fernandez died yesterday, master Stark." Jared humbly said. Christian Stark raised his eyebrows, "What?" He was shocked with the news.Not saying anymore, Jared walked over to the side of the room, where a TV hung on the wall. Grabbing the remote, he turned the TV on. When Christian Stark fixated his eyes on what was on the TV, he was overcome with sadness as he saw
