"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
Arthur was stunned for a second, his mouth hanging slightly open. "Oh, you dated him?" Arthur asked, a hint of disbelief in his eyes. He never would have thought that a woman like Dawn would date an asshole like Elijah.Dawn shot him a cold glare. "I don't want to talk about it." She repeated, sounding even more stern this time. Elijah was a topic she never wanted to talk about. She just wanted to leave that chapter of her life closed."Okay… well how long did you two date?" Arthur insisted. He was so curious at the moment.Dawn emptied the whole glass in one go and then she looked at Arthur, smiling faintly. "Are you jealous Mr Stark?"Arthur was caught off guard by her question."What?""No he is not jealous!" Came Loraine, with two glasses of wine in her hands. She tried to hand Arthur the other one, but he already had one so he just tilted his head in denial."I'll take it." Said dawn as she took the glass from Loraine's hand, and again she drunk it on one go. Showing just how frus
Elijah started Insulting Arthur out of nowhere, and that was something Arthur wasn't going to tolerate."He is shameless… what a waste of a handsome face." A young lady in the crowd sneered at Arthur. Half the people were murmuring disdainful words, while the others just shot him daggers.However, Arthur paid no attention to any of the comments, or their glares for that matter. He took out his cellphone and looked at Elijah as his fingers diealed a number. "Are you going to apologise or…?" Arthur trailed his sentence, smirking as he continued. "Or am I going to have to make you get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, Mr Anderson?" Arthur threatened, looking at Elijah with a smirk.His words shocked the people present. Was this man crazy? How on Earth would someone threaten a powerful person like Elijah Anderson? This guy must be tired of living.How dare that moron say that to him? Elijah was offended. "Oh you mean you are going to make me get on my knees and apologize trash?" El
A smug grin made its way to Arthur's face. "What's wrong Elijah?" Arthur asked, faking a concerned look. The shock was too much for Elijah he almost dropped to his knees. His family just lost everything."What's going on?""Yeah, why is Elijah sweating profusely?" People were surprised, they didn't understand what was happening.One gasped. "Could it be that…." She trailed and looked at Arthur with a surprised expression. "Is he responsible for this?""Yeah did he really make the Anderson's go bankrupt?""But that's impossible… unless he is more powerful than Elijah?"Elijah and everyone else now knew whoever Arthur was, he was even more powerful than the Anderson's, and what was worse was that Elijah had fucked with him. Elijah looked at Arthur with a soft expression. "Who the fuck are you?" Elijah asked humbly. Just then dawn walked to Arthur. A mocking smile on her face as she looked at Elijah, then she shifted her gaze to Arthur. "Mr Stark, we should go… I don't think anyone h
At around 8 o'clock at night in the parking lot of the luxurious hotel where the gathering was taking place: a fight between two men was taking place. The fight looked to be rather a one sided one."Tell me, who the fuck sent you?" Arthur coldly asked, tightening his grip on Austin's collar, lifting him in the air with no effort."Pfft… I'll never tell." Austin scoffed, as his feet dangled a few inches off the ground.This was not what Austin had expected at all. He was supposed to sabotage Arthur's limousine unnoticed, since he was in his stealthy mode, no one could see him. But to his surprise Arthur was able to see him, and not only that, but the guy was stronger than him in any aspects. Austin had never met someone like Arthur before, he looked more trained than him."I'll ask you for the last time,.. Who the hell sent you?" Arthur asked his voice sending shivers down the assassin's spine, and his cold emotionless eyes were even more scarier.Even so Austin was not going to talk.

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
