The sound of footsteps had Arthur and the waiter turn to look at the direction the footsteps were sounding from. A frown made its way to Arthur's face when he saw who the person walking towards him was, it was his mother, whom he never wanted to meet in his whole life.His mother left him and his father when he was just a child, so Arthur pretty much hated her for choosing her Mafia family over him and his father. But the feeling's not mutual, after Elena, Arthur's mom saw her son, she was happy. She had yearned to see her son for years, so one could imagine how happy she felt at this moment."Hello son." Arthur's mom greeted as soon as she got within talking range.There was a man, dressed in a tuxedo walking beside her, and More than a dozen men dressed in black fancy suits were walking behind them. probably her bodyguards. As for the man's identity, who knows who he was? But judging by the way he dressed, his role was higher than the bodyguards.Elena walked to the table and took
Dawn asked Arthur to meet the chairman of EM int'l at a restaurant, and Arthur did just that. But to his surprise the so called chairman didn't show up, instead someone else showed up: His mother.….After Arthur left the restaurant, he went home, he couldn't believe dawn tricked him into meeting his mom.When Arthur walked into the living room, Amber was seated there. A smile formed on her face when she saw Arthur. "Arthur dear." Amber said cheerfully. But to her surprise, Arthur had a stern expression. He just walked past her without talking to her. Which was so unlike Arthur, he was usually friendly towards anyone."Hmm, odd." Amber shrugged her shoulders with a suspicious look. He was usually friendly to people, so what changed?Arthur went to his bedroom, he took out his cell phone and dialed Dawn's number, but Dawn wasn't picking up, which was more annoying. If anyone knew why his mom was at that place, it was her, she was the one who told him to go there and meet someone in the
Arthur was seated on the sofa, still trying to contact dawn. She still hasn't been answering any of his calls, or text. Arthur guessed it was because it was late and she was asleep so he stopped calling. 'How does Dawn know my mom?' Arthur thought to himself. The fact that she knew his mom, even though he never told her, made him suspicious."You're still awake?" Amber's voice startled Arthur. He raised his head to see Amber, walking down the stairs. "Yeah." Arthur replied, flashing a smile at her. Regretting the way he acted when he got home earlier. It was so unlike him to ignore people."Having a hard time sleeping?" Amber, took a seat next to Arthur. "I can't seem to fall asleep too." She grabbed the remote off the glass table and turned on the TV. Sitting back on the sofa, Amber looked at Arthur and she asked: "So what were you pissed about earlier?" Arthur's expression turned sad, he looked Amber in the eyes, "I just met Elena today." Arthur said. If he was being honest to hi
"I love you Arthur… I always did. And I'm sorry for all you've been through for me, but I've also been through a lot for you… trust me, I also got hurt whenever you were hurt." A laugh escaped Arthur's lips after hearing her words. She also got hurt too? How? If he remembered correctly, he was the one who got the Insults and the beatings, so how did she get hurt too? Because even she used to make fun of him. And on top of that, she was the one who broke his heart by cheating on him.And she also treated him like a nothing, like he didn't have emotions. And if he had to eat, he was only allowed to eat her family's leftovers, if there were no leftovers left, then he didn't get to eat all, sometimes he didn't eat for a while, and Stacey never seemed to care, she was just cold towards him. Arthur's thoughts.Just thinking about that made Arthur feel sorry for himself, and his blood boiled. Arthur looked at Stacey with a cold expression as he said, "Stacey it's late and I'm tired, so ca
Stacey forgot her purse on the sofa she was currently seating on, so she decided to go back inside the Villa and get it. And when she stepped inside the living room, Arthur and Dawn were sitting on the sofa. Looked like they were talking about something, but since she was meters away she couldn't hear them. Seeing Stacey's face, Arthur's nostrils flared. "What do you want?" Arthur asked coldly. He couldn't believe Stacey walked back inside his Villa, even after he told her to never show her face here again. "Do you think you can come here and go whenever you want now?" Arthur's rude eyes were fixed on Stacey, as she walked toward him and Dawn.Nonetheless, Stacey smiled faintly. "I forgot my purse… Mr. Stark." She replied, not making eye contact with him. How did he get like this? He never spoke to her in this manner before. Guess those are his true colors. Guess he's always been a jerk. Stacey thought.She walked to the sofa where she was currently sitting, picked her purse up, tur
The Andersons of Riverwalk are one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Riverwalk, they rank first on the list of the top 10 influential and richest families in Riverwalk. Almost every middle class family in the country wanted to align themselves with the Anderson's in order to become upper class families.And the Roths were lucky enough to be given the opportunity to collaborate with them. And Gwendolyn was not going to let this opportunity slip, no matter what."How are you, Grandma?" Said Elijah, cheerfully, as he hugged Mrs. Gwendolyn."I'm good dear, how are you?" Mrs. Gwendolyn replied.Today was going to be the happiest day ever. Gwendolyn thought."My son-in-law has arrived," Victoria said in joy as she walked down the stairs. She walked toward Elijah and hugged him gently."Mother in-law, how are you?" Said Elijah, smiling widely.It was a pleasant morning, as the members of the two families greeted each other and got to know each other. After chatting for a wh
"I can't believe this….." Gwendolyn shouted in disbelief, anger visible in her eyes as she dialed Stacey's number. But everytime the call went straight to voicemail.With a sigh she turned and glared at everyone on the dining table sending chills down their spines, they all knew when the old lady was angry then everyone else got burned. Gwendolyn rested her cold gaze on Victoria. "Victoria, I gave you one job, just one job: to keep an eye on your daughter and you couldn't even do that!" Gwendolyn yelled, aggressively slamming her cellphone to the floor. "Mother in-law, I didn't know she would run away… and it's not my fault, why are you blaming me of all people?" Victoria replied angrily. She was just as angry as Gwendolyn was at the time.The whole family felt betrayed right now. They all trusted Stacey to marry Elijah, but she ran away. With no one to blame, Mrs. Gwendolyn took a deep breath to suppress her anger. And it helped. For sometime anyways. Because Everytime she thought a
The exquisite restaurant was filled. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the tables were beautifully arranged, just like a five star restaurant should be.Couples, family, and friends were dining. And the classical music in the background gave a beautiful feeling. Glancing around, a smile made its way to Stacey's face as she darted her eyes to look at Nicole, who was seated across her. "Beautiful isn't it?" Nicole asked, smiling nonchalantly as she looked around the restaurant, finally resting her eyes on Stacey, she said, "We can make millions every year if we buy this five star restaurant." Nodding her head, Stacey reached her arm for the documents to rest on the table. Briefly glancing at them, she raised her head to look at Nicole. "And this is…." Before Stacey could complete her sentence, Nicole enthusiastically finished it for her:"This is the agreement," Said Nicole, sitting back as she elegantly crossed her legs. "I have already signed it, read it carefully and signed it." A

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
