53.“I told you it would be worth it,” he smiled, and Samantha beamed like a little kid as she looked around.“I feel like a kid,” she chuckled softly, taking in the view of the river and how the sun sparkled on the water. There was something about it that made her feel happy and at ease. Aiden chuckled and took her hand, leading her to a bench overlooking the river.“Sit down, wifey,” he said, smiling at her. “I want to tell you a story.”Samantha sat down, intrigued. “What kind of story?” she asked, looking up at him.Aiden sat down beside her, putting his arm around her shoulders and he was glad she didn’t seem to mind it. “A story about Detroit,” he said. “About its history, its people, and its heart.”Samantha leaned into him subconsciously, feeling comfortable and safe in his presence. “I'd love to hear it,” she said, smiling up at him.Aiden began to speak, his voice low and soothing. He told her about the city's struggles and triumphs, its music and art, its food and culture.

54.CALIFORNIA Samantha stared out of the window of the car as they drove to the company. She had a good time in Detroit, and she was happy to be back home too. “I got a call from the company, Aiden. California is on fire due to the demonstration at the car show. A lot of businessmen are interested in the self-driving feature. They want to know how you were able to do it. And that’s not all, sales have skyrocketed and believe me when I say, you have a lot of work waiting for you.” Seth announced and Aiden facepalmed.Samantha chuckled. “Seems Aiden got most of the workload.” she teased, and he looked at her.Linda laughed. “You’re faster than your shadow, sister,” she said and Samantha raised an eyebrow. “There are tons of work waiting for you too. Apparently, there are some offers Mr. James can’t accept until you give your consent.”Samantha sighed and facepalmed as well. “I had no idea this new model would get this much attention.” she shook her head.Aiden smiled and held her han

55.DETROIT THE RUSSELL FAMILY MANSIONDarcel arrived home and took a deep breath before turning the doorknob and opening the door. She walked into the spacious living room only to be greeted by the angry faces of her father and the rest of the family. She had been avoiding this and had stayed in a hotel, but she knew she couldn’t hide forever and had to come face her family.“Welcome back, sister.” Shawn, her little brother, smiled and was about to walk up to her but was stopped by her stepmother.“How dare you smile at her after the shame she has brought on herself and the family?” she snapped, glaring daggers at Darcel.Russell, her father, walked to where she stood, the expression of his face unreadable, causing Darcel to wonder if he was mad at her or not.He stopped in front of her, and she looked up at him. “Dad, I—” she didn’t get to complete her statement as his hands connected with her cheeks, giving her a hard slap that sent her to the floor.Darcel placed her palm on her

56.LOS ANGELES MILLER GROUPBianca paced around Nathan’s office, her hands on her waist. She was agitated, jealous, envious and annoyed. She would curse out loud most times and Nathan sighed, watching her.“Bianca, you have to calm down. Pacing and cursing isn’t going to solve anything.” he spoke up, and she glared at him.“Don’t tell me to calm down, Nathan. You have no idea how much anger I’m feeling right now. I’m literally boiling in rage and want to break stuff to calm myself down.” she seethed, her expression deadening.“Beating yourself up over this won’t take back the award she won, Bianca. Besides, she earned it. You saw the demonstration at the car show, didn’t you? Once they begin work and that car comes to life, everyone will know their names more than they have right now.”“Are you encouraging me or making this worse for me?” she turned to look at him.Nathan shrugged. “I’m just stating what I feel.”“Well… keep your damn feelings to yourself because I don’t need them!”

57.While Aiden was still with Samantha, his phone rang, and he slid it out of his pants pocket. Mia’s name flashed on the screen, and he quickly answered, placing the phone on his ear.“Mia, what’s up?” he asked but what he got was crying from the other end. He raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on? Why are you crying?” he asked.Samantha looked up from her food. She watched Aiden and could see that his expression wasn’t a good one.“Hold on, baby, I’ll be right there!” he exclaimed and Samantha didn’t know why she felt hurt hearing him call Mia “baby.” She knew it could be his pet name for her since she was his cousin, but one thing she knew was that Mia didn’t see him the same way. She wanted him, and it was suddenly starting to bother her.She closed the food and took a glass of water.“I need to go to the house, Sam. Mia isn’t feeling too good.” he said to her.She stood to her feet. “I’ll come with you.” Aiden shook his head. “You need to stay here and rest. You don’t have to.”“

58.“Then I hugged Aiden back to get back at her. You needed to see her face. She wanted to kill me.” she narrated what happened at the hospital to Linda, who laughed.“You were petty.” Linda connected, still laughing.Samantha rolled her eyes. “I don’t care. I gave her a taste of her own medicine. She shouldn’t cross me next time.” she huffed.Linda chuckled and looked at Samantha. “Sam,” she called and Samantha looked up to meet her eyes. “I think you’re beginning to fall in love with Aiden.”Samantha's eyes widened, and she shook her head vehemently. “No, I'm not,” she protested, trying to sound convincing.Linda raised an eyebrow. “Don't deny it, Sam. I can see it in your eyes,” she said with a knowing smile.Samantha sighed, trying to deflect. "Even if I was, which I'm not, I’m only with him due to the arranged marriage. There are no feelings attached.“Linda nodded with an eye roll. “Uh-huh, but you can’t hide it anymore, baby girl. I can see it in your eyes, your actions, and t

59.“Agatha, can you even hear yourself speak? Darcel is your daughter as well, and you are happy she's leaving?” he asked, his expression stern.Agatha scoffed, feeling unremorseful for what was happening. “Darcel is not my daughter. She is my stepdaughter.”Russel scoffed. “That doesn't stop you from showing her love and affection.”Agatha's expression turned icy. “Love and affection? You want me to show love and affection to someone who has been a constant thorn in my side? Someone who has always tried to undermine me and take what'mine?”Russell's face fell, his eyes filled with disappointment." That's not true, Agatha. Darcel has always tried to please you, to make you proud. But you've never given her a chance."Agatha snorted. “Please. Darcel has always been selfish, spoiled brat. She's never cared about anyone but herself.”Russell shook his head. “You're wrong, Agatha. Darcelhas always put others before herself. She's been a good daughter, a good sister. But you've never seen

60.Samantha's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe he had the audacity to show up unannounced and make such a ridiculous request.“And what makes you think I'd even consider getting back together with you?” she asked, a frown settling in her face.Nathan chuckled, leaning forward to look into her eyes. Samantha stared back at him, her eyes literally blazing with rage. He smirked and leaned back in the chair. “Oh, come on, Samantha. We were great together. We can be great again.”Samantha raised an eyebrow, incredulous. “Great together? You cheated on me, Nathan. You lied to me and broke my trust. What could you possibly say to make me want to take you back?” Nathan shrugged, his expression unrepentant. “I was young and stupid, okay? I've grown up since then. I realize what I lost, and I want it back.”The audacity of this man!Samantha sighed, rubbing her temples. This was a headache she didn't need. “Nathan, I've moved on. I'm happy with my life now. I don't need you in it.”

20.Lucas walked into his Aunt Mary's hospital ward, his heart shattered into a million pieces. The beeping of the machines and the antiseptic smell filled the air, but his senses were numb. He stared at his aunt's unconscious body, her frail form a stark reminder of his own vulnerability.Tears rolled down his cheeks as he recalled Janette's words: "Leave, Lucas." The finality in her voice still echoed in his mind. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of regret."Oh, Aunt Mary," he whispered, his voice cracking. "I've messed up so badly. I've lost her. I've lost Janette."He pulled up a chair and sat beside his aunt's bed, taking her limp hand in his. The warmth of her skin was a faint comfort."Why did I do it, Aunt Mary?" he asked aloud, his eyes welling up with tears. "Why did I cheat on her? Why did I lie to her?"The memories flooded his mind: Janette's laughter, her smile, her tears. He remembered the way she used to look at him, with love and adoration. Now, that same look wa

19.Lucas turned to look at Janette, his eyes filled with hurt. When she told him she had a fiancé, she thought it was all a ploy to get him to leave her alone since she was angry with him. He couldn’t believe she really had a fiancé.Janette looked at him, her expression unreadable. Well… that served him right. He needed to know his place anyway.“Jane,” he called, his voice low and unsteady. “It’s really true? Tell me he is joking.” he looked at Liam, who had a smirk on his face.“Why do you need to know if it’s true or not? Isn’t it obvious,” he walked to where Janette stood and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “She is going to be my wife soon. We are planning our wedding soon.”Lucas ignored Liam and faced Janette. “Tell me, Janette, tell me it’s not true.” he tried to touch her but she moved away from him.She intertwined her fingers with that of Liam and looked at Lucas. “It’s true, Lucas. Liam and I will soon get married.”Lucas felt like a thousand needles had just been

Marilyn chuckled darkly as she continued to pull Chloe's hair. “What does it look like I'm doing, Chloe?” She asked, the bitterness in her voice evident. “Wouldn't it be cool for Mr. Ethan to know that you were spying on him?”“Spying?” Chloe's eyes widened. “I wasn't spying on him. What are you even saying? Let go of my hair right now!” Chloe snapped at her. Marilyn smirked, pulled the hair one more time before letting go of it. Chloe swiftly turned to face Marilyn, her face holding nothing but the anger she was feeling right now. “What did you do that for?” she snapped, and Marilyn chuckled with her arms folded.“You were eavesdropping, so I had to put you in your place. Now let's hear what Mr. Ethan will have to say about it!” she snapped and didn't give Chloe the chance to talk before dragging her into Ethan's office, interrupting him and Alexis.Ethan raised an eyebrow.“Mr. Ethan, it would interest you to know that Chloe here was spying on you and your visitor.” she reported w

Chloe couldn't believe it. Her eyes scanned the variety of food displayed beautifully on the dining table. There was pasta with sauce and meatballs; he even added chopsticks which was her favorite cutlery for when she eats pasta, there was her favorite dessert and cheesecake alongside her favorite drink, strawberry smoothie.A soft music began playing in the background and Chloe felt like she was home. She could feel different emotions all at once; Love, gratitude and happiness. She couldn't believe Ethan went out of his way to do all these for her."Ethan, this is... Wow." she stuttered, her eyes shining with tears.Ethan smiled and led her to the table and pulled out a chair for her. "Sit down, my love," he said, his voice low and husky. Chloe sat down, her heart racing with excitement. Ethan took his place across from her and poured her a glass of strawberry smoothie. "I know how much you love this," he said, his eyes sparkling with love. Chloe took a sip, her eyes never leaving

She doesn't look happy, Easton. She keeps screaming and saying she wants out of here,” He replied, and I sighed, running my hands through my hair. “Can you tell me how you got the famous Nicole Brennan to become your wife?” He asked.“Let's just say we met coincidentally. She was drunk, I was in search of a bride, she proposed to me, I accepted and… here we are.” I narrated to him, and he chuckled, causing me to smile.Apart from Maven, Steve was the only person I could really open up to. He took care of me right from when I was a teenager. He has been my butler from when I was a kid, and whenever I went through a lot and asked him to find his way out of my life, so he wouldn't get hurt, he would always choose to stick with me. We've been through a lot together, and he knew my pains and how to help me manage them. He was like a father figure to me because he did things which my father refused to do for me.I'm lucky to have him.“But why did you accept her proposal? I know you to be a

The drive to his house was taking too long, and it was becoming boring staying inside the car and doing nothing. I turned to look at Easton, but he had a straight expression as he looked ahead.I sighed and tucked a strand of hair behind my ears. This wasn't how I pictured my life to be at all. I was supposed to be on my own, planning my revenge against those dimwits, but here I am, going to live in someone else's house as his wife. No one needs to tell me what can happen if this goes into the news.They'd probably say I seduced him and wanted to use his money to make a comeback.“Aren't we there yet?” I asked him.All I wanted right now was a place to rest my head and get rid of all these thoughts twirling in my head.Easton turned to look at me, his gaze softening. “What? Are you that excited to see where I live, wifey?” He asked and I became annoyed.“Stop calling me your wife, Mr. Easton.” I replied formally, but he shrugged and looked away from me.“You're my wife now, Nicole.

~SOPHIA’S POV~I gasped, my lungs burning as if they were desperate to burst free from my chest. Breath filled them like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me from the inside out. My chest heaved, straining against the weight of an invisible force pressing down on me. Panic set in, my heart racing like a runaway train.Suddenly, my eyes snapped open.A blur of colors and shapes swirled above me, slowly taking form. The first thing I noticed was his face – chiseled features, sharp jawline, and piercing gray eyes that seemed to bore into my very soul. Worry etched deep lines into his forehead, and his brows were furrowed in concern.Cassius? Was Cassius dead too? What’s going on?My mind cleared slightly, and I felt a mix of confusion and shock. I tore my gaze from him and looked around. The scent of medicine and antiseptic slid into my nostrils, bringing me to the realization that I was in a hospital. But how?

My lips curved upwards immediately those words left her. I knew she was not going to refuse the offer, but I was still relieved that she met my expectations.In her eyes, I could see nothing but pain, sorrow, resentment, anger, and a thirst for revenge. The worst thing a man can ever do to a woman is to break her trust and her heart when all she had ever done was love him with all her heart and soul. Once that trust is broken, a woman can go to any length to make that man suffer for every single pain she experienced.Do not underestimate the power of an angry woman, thirsty for revenge.“I’m glad you accepted my proposal, Ms. Zander. Have a seat so we can go over the terms of the contract I have prepared for us.” I gestured to the chair in front of my desk and she sat down.“You knew I was going to come back to you, right? That was why you prepared the contract even before I said yes.” She looked at me, waiting for my answer, while I just smiled at her.Chloe Zander, she was always th
