A knock on the door had Arthur' stand up from his bed to open the door, standing outside were Jared and his grandfather. "Grandfather, Jared," Arthur' greeted his grandfather and Jared with a surprised expression on his face.Christian slightly smiled as he walked inside Arthur's bedroom with Jared following behind.On his hand Christian was carrying a black card, and a gold plated cell phone, with an S symbol on it."Morning grandson." Christian greeted once he sat down. Arthur' remained standing in his pajamas, Jared stood next to Christian."Morning," Arthur' greeted back.***Meanwhile at the Roths' Villa. Since Arthur left Victoria had to hire a maid to take care of the house and cook food, she also had to hire a butler to take the kids to school. When arthur' was there she never dared to hire a maid or a butler, in fact she fired the maids and the butler's just so she could make Arthur do the work.Breakfast felt unlively today, as there was no Arthur to mock, it was one of the
"Arthur you're not ready?" Dawn asked, walking inside the bedroom, with a worried expression on her face, knowing Arthur was late to the party and Christian will blame her, cause she is his secretary.Sighing exasperatedly, dawn briefly glanced at Loraine before shifting her gaze back to Arthur. "The guests have been waiting for you for some time, master Arthur. You should get ready now!" Dawn said, walking towards the closet, she opened it and took out a tuxedo suit and threw it on the bed.Rolling her eyes agitatedly at the sight of Dawn, Loraine walked towards Arthur, she gave him a peck on the cheeks and walked out. "Arthur, I'll be downstairs.""Okay see ya." Arthur replied, picking up the tuxedo suit from the bed. Sighing, Arthur eyed Dawn with a slightly disappointed look. "Not my type of clothes." Arthur complained. He prefered something casual, the tuxedo will only gather a lot of attention for him.Shrugging her shoulders Dawn replied, "You grandfather's orders not mine." Da
Christian made sure to introduce Arthur to all of his business partners. As Arthur will need to know all of them if he's going to run the consortium."Nice meeting you, Ms. Winston." Arthur said as he firmly shook an old-aged woman's hand."It's my pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stark." Ms. Winston replied, smiling nonchalantly.Ms. Winston glanced at Dawn briefly as she was standing next to Arthur. "Is this your wife Mr stark? She is gorgeous." "No, she is not my wife, she is my secretary," Arthur replied nonchalantly. Why would someone think dawn is his wife? Sure "Well just look at you, don't you have the best things, Mr. Stark? A beautiful woman like her you make your secretary." Ms. Winston teasingly said, as she looked at Dawn, feeling relieved, now she could ask what she wanted to ask. She shifted her gaze back to Arthur and asked: "By the way, I have a granddaughter, and she'd love to meet you, Mr. Stark." Ms. Winston said with a wide smile.'Old ladies, is that all they think ab
Caine was disappointed beyond words after knowing Stacey snuck away. He left the Roth Villa angry. He even threatened to call the marriage off if Stacey doesn't come home. Hearing that Gwendolyn and Victoria begged him to stay but he didn't turn around. "It's all that useless son in laws fault, I bet she has gone to find him." Victoria said, helplessly clenching on her dress. "If Caine and Stacy don't get married our whole family will be ruined." Victoria said looking at her mother in law."Don't you think I know that!" Gwendolyn shouted angrily, making Victoria step back in fear.Rolling her eyes irritatedly, Gwendolyn turned to Harold. "We need to find that good for nothing son in law, we need to get him out of Stacey's life permanently.... you know what to do!" Gwendolyn said.Nodding his head lightly, Harold took out his cellphone and dialed a number. "Hello, Rick.." "I don't have time to waste right now, so I'll get straight to business. I want you to take care of someone for me
"Are you kidding me right now, how? When did that happen?" Courtney asked in disbelief over the phone. She just heard that the Cohen's went bankrupt and Mavin Cohen got beaten up because he insulted the new Stark heir."Okay bye I'll call you later, Kim." Courtney disconnected the line. She looked at Stacey letting out a sigh."What's wrong?" Stacey asked her friend, seeing as she was kind of freaking out on the cellphone a minute ago. "The Cohen's. They have gone bankrupt." Courtney said in a sad voice. She was a shareholder in the Cohen's company.Stacey was shocked with this news. "How?" Stacey asked."People are saying they messed with someone they shouldn't have messed with, and now southern incs has gone bankrupt with my 20% shares." Courtney said, irritatedly, she had lost more than 50 million dollars."What? How? But aren't the Cohen's the 8th richest family in Angeles City, who can make a giant company like that go down?" Stacey asked, wondering who could be responsible for
Seeing her friend get taken away, Stacey backed away to a corner, fear visible in her eyes, afraid of what this guy is going to do with her. 'Why did I have to forget that gun today?' Stacey thought to herself, feeling the regret.Seeing Stacey vulnerable and afraid, Eric's ego was getting satisfied, a menacing grin crept on his face. "Not so tough now are we?" Eric mocked as he sluggishly took steps towards her, his eyes rested on her short black skirt that exposed her beautiful and alluring thighs."Eric I'm warning you, get back!…get away from me!" Stacey warned, seeing Eric getting close to her. This was not what she expected when she came to the mall.Ignoring her warning, Eric chuckled, "Or what, Love?' Eric asked sarcastically."Eric don't come closer, I'm warning you, you know what my grandmother will do to you if you do this!" Stacey warned in a loud voice, hoping someone from outside would hear her. But it was pointless since the walls were sound proof."Eric you don't have t
.***30 minutes earlier.The evening sky was beautiful. Gwendolyn and Victoria were enjoying each other's company, as they sipped on wine, on the balcony.Even though they were seated together, there was silence between the mother and daughter in-law.Taking a sip of her wine, Victoria stole a glance at Gwendolyn."Aren't you worried Caine is really going to refuse to get married to Stacey?" Victoria broke the silence.Chuckling softly, Mrs. Gwendolyn took a sip of her drink and looked at Victoria, "We have that boy under our control my dear," Gwendolyn said smugly, putting the glass down.Smiling at her mother-in-law's reply, Victoria let out a faint smile and nodded her head. "What if Stacey…" "All we need to do is get Stacey far away from Arthur!" Gwendolyn cut Victoria's sentence, "But I have realized that threatening her is not going to help, so I've decided to take another approach." Gwendolyn said.At the same time, Gwendolyn's cell phone rang.Letting out a sigh exhaustingly,
Nearly a dozen Rolls Royces arrived in the parking lot. Gathering the attention of everyone in the parking lot. It was the governor, Courtney's father.Caine was the happiest to see the governor had arrived. "The governor is here, he'll teach that imbecile a lesson," Caine muttered, smiling sinisterly. Not long ago he was wondering how he'll teach Arthur a lesson, now he has an opportunity to make sure Arthur is never going to be a problem.Caine was not the only one planning that though, Stacey's family was planning that too, this was the perfect opportunity to get rid of Arthur.Seeing her dad, Courtney was puzzled she didn't call him, so what was he doing here? And usually when her dad shows up like this, that only means trouble. Even though she got drugged and her friend nearly got raped, she didn't even think about calling her dad, cause that would only get her in trouble."Shall we go Mr Arthur?" Dawn suggested walking towards Arthur and Loraine. Looking at his watch, Arthur r

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
