"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
Another day.Around 10 am. At El Paraiso hotel. In Jack Littleman's office. Lawrence was seated across from Mr. Jack Littleman. While Jack was seated on his office chair, typing something on his computer."Mr. Roth… how can I help you?" Jack Littleman asked, his eyes focused on the computer screen.Hesitantly, Lawrence opened his mouth. But he couldn't find the right way or words to ask what he wanted to ask. He didn't want Mr. Littleman to get suspicious, and ask why he was asking about Arthur.Closing his eyes, Lawrence somehow mustered up the courage. "That day I saved your granddaughter from getting hit by a motorcycle… and you told me that I should call you if I ever need anything." Lawrence reminded. He sighed silently and continued. "I need a favor." Said Lawrence, his eyes monitoring Jack's reaction.Jack raised his head, his eyes locking with Lawrence's, and he asked. "Yes, what can I do for you?" He smiled. He was very grateful, this man saved his granddaughter, so anythin
When Arthur told the smug director, that he was fired. The guy didn't believe him, he thought Arthur was trying to crack a joke. After all, Arthur looked too young to be his superior."HEHEHE funny, kid….." The director said in between laughs, and judging by the way he was laughing, it was clear that he was high on drugs.Suddenly the,directors expression darkened as he looked at Arthur. "Now get out before I call security." He threatened, disdainfully looking at Arthur who was seated across him. "You're fired." He added, waving Arthur off. Guess the complaints about him were true. The employees at dream enterprises complained about the Directors mistreatment of workers below him, and that's what Arthur came to see. And he was proven right.Without saying anything, Arthur pulled out a gold plated black card, setting it on the table. The black card had Arthur's name written on the side.Taking his eyes off Arthur, the director, stared at the exquisite gold plated black card, his eyes
"So you mean you never had sex or got close in any type of way with your ex husband. Even though you slept in the same room with him?" Nicole was surprised. How does a married couple sleep and stay in the same room for two and a half years and not be able to touch each other?Taking a sip of her coffee, Stacey looked at her friend, shaking her head slightly. "Yep." Throwing her free hand in the air, Nicole replied. "Oh, I get it… an arranged marriage. And he was rich, but he was not able to please you?" Nicole said, her face forming a disgusted expression. "It was not that… ." Stacey replied, with a dejected look. She let out a sigh. Looking at her friend, she replied: "… I was forced… I didn't let him touch me for his safety, cause my damn family threatened to kill him if I ever let him touch me." Stacey replied, her voice getting sadder. She never had a chance to make love with her husband, all because her family didn't approve of him. "I loved that guy, and I still love him… I jus
"Go and call your boss…. Tell him Mrs. Gwendolyn Is here?" Gwendolyn smugly instructed one of the security guards, as she shot a death glare at him.Shaking his head in denial, the security guard pointed her and Lawrence to the BMW they just came with. "Ma'am, sir, for the last time, turn around and leave… if you don't have an invitation card or an appointment you can't meet Mr Stark!" The security guard said, trying to sound polite. But this lady has been refusing to leave for 20 minutes, and that was irritating the security guards. Doesn't she have self respect?'So now he is too good for us.' Gwendolyn couldn't believe it. Now they needed an invitation card to meet that guy?... But she couldn't say that out loud, all she could do was scoff. "Young Man, why don't you call your boss here huh?" Gwendolyn demanded for the hundredth time.The security guard just sighed. Going home without seeing Arthur was a no no. So Lawrence stepped forward. "Listen, I don't know who you guys think
The meeting that Arthur's grandfather told him to go to, was for the richest people in the country. And the purpose of the gathering was for business people to connect with each other."I could have driven on my own." Arthur complained, seating in a limousine opposite Dawn, while Loraine sat next to him.Dawn chuckled lightly."Arthur you're the head of the biggest consortium, and you're going to present your business… so it's only right that you arrive this way and not in some cheap car." Dawn said sternly.Arriving at the luxurious hotel,the limousine came to a stop. And Arthur and the two girls alighted from the car, gathering the attention of attendees, journalists and reporters at the meeting.There was a red carpet spread out. As Arthur and the girls walked on it, the journalists took pictures of him and the beauties behind him. Which Arthur didn't like, for some reason he hated it when people stare at him."Who is he?" Some of the women started asking each other. They had never
Elijah Hayes, was invited to the meeting since his family was the first ranked family in Riverwalk. His family had a networth of billions and one of the biggest business groups in the country, so it was obvious that he would get invited to such important functions.What Elijah didn't expect was to see Stacey at the gathering. "Well, wouldn't you know?" Elijah mumbled, nudging his friends shoulder. Staring at Stacey as she walked towards Arthur."What?" Elijah's friend turned to look the way Elijah was pointing and he gasped in shock. "Whoa, Eli that's the woman who broke your heart!" Elijah's friend gasped."Uh huh… and she's here with that useless lover of her's." Elijah muttered, his eyes bloodshot. He always suspected Stacey ran away with Arthur, and now seeing them in the same place only confirmed it. And that made his blood boil."I say, you teach her a lesson." Elijah's friend urged taking a sip of his wine. Knowing Elijah will listen to him. An evil smile formed on the corner
A month had passed since the confrontation with Dane and the revelation of his betrayal. It was a month since Arthur had faced the man who murdered his parents. And although he wasn't the one who delivered the final blow himself, Arthur was still glad that the murderer was dead, justice had been served. Arthur and Stacey were together again, their relationship rekindled amidst the chaos and heartbreak. It was safe to say that it wasn't an easy path for them, Loraine was still harboring feelings for Arthur and that lowkey made him feel bad. A part of him felt like he betrayed her because he had made a promise to her, but that was years ago, and he didn't even know what he was doing. He feared that Loraine might end their friendship. She had made her disapproval clear. She even told him how much of a fool he was for getting back to the woman who hurt him. Not only her, but her entire family had treated him like shit. But Arthur saw it differently. Stacey had explained her actions,

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
