“I’m in love with someone and my family won’t approve of it so it’s a secret. Now it’s your turn,” Cassandra forced a smile and said. Ariana instantly guessed it was the man she was talking about with her brother. Instantly, so many questions flooded her mind. “Does the person know that you are in love with him?” She asked, both happy and worried for Cassandra. From how serious Caddaric was right now, it was very scary.“I will tell you but that is another secret and you have to tell me yours first,” Cassandra demanded. Knowing that she was serious, Ariana didn’t know how to handle this. Whereas, she was quick to imagine something.“Okay, I lied when I said I was your brother’s secretary.”“You aren’t? Then what is your relationship?” Cassandra asked eagerly. Ariana smiled and arranged the plates on the cabinet.“You made the rule.”Cassandra discerned that she had to answer Ariana’s question first to get the answer to hers. ’“Okay. The guy is in love with me too. I saw it in his eyes
Caddaric understood what was going on. She felt the same things he felt and was expecting him to make a move which he didn’t because he was controlling it. It was for her safety. The casual relationship they had was amazing and if complicated, they would both get hurt but he was more worried about her. “You will get hurt,” he said softly. Her resolve broke but she didn’t want to give up.Ariana didn’t realize when a tear fell from her eyes to her cheeks. Caddaric’s heart ached and he wiped it with the thumb of his hand. He wanted to kiss those tears and do so many things unimaginable to that sexy body.His eyes were on fire and Ariana wondered how he could pretend like he didn’t feel what she was feeling. She was desperate and it wasn’t hidden in her voice. “I don’t care. Nothing hurts more than seeing me as if I’m not here,” she said in a teary voice. Her eyes were red under the dim lights since it was night.So many things were running through Caddaric’s mind. His ambitions were fig
Ariana was afraid that he was going to leave her halfway. She embraced him tightly and said in deep heavy breaths, “I don't care about the consequence, I want this.”Caddaric didn’t hold back anymore, breaking from her tight grip and lifting himself a little. Slowly, he began to thrust into her wet tight wall, stretching it in the process.Ariana’s pleasure was quickly overridden with pain that sipped through her like a dagger, her fingers dug into his back as she endured it, refusing to scream. What if he stopped upon realizing that she was in so much pain?However, Caddaric had noticed how beads of sweat formed on her face and how she kept squirming under him and stopped but didn’t pull out of her. “Sorry, I know it hurts for the first time.”Ariana forced a smile. “It’s fine, please do it.” It felt as if it was the first and last she was going to have of him and didn’t want to lose the opportunity. No one ever made her feel so wanted and yet, not wanted. That was how he made her fe
There was a storm brewing in the Wreath household. Miranda Wreath has expressed her disapproval concerning her marriage with the Blades but her mother would not allow it.“If you call off this impending marriage, the Blades would come after you. They take care of us. From the time you were born and everything you have is from them,” Donna, Miranda’s mother explained. Her husband died after she birthed Miranda and she suspected it to be the Blade’s doing but lacked proof. Miranda raged. “And thanks for reminding me fifty times in a day. I already know that.”“Then stay in your corner and wait!” Donna yelled. During her time, Casper was the one who didn’t want her. Caddaric had already accepted Miranda so things would go by tradition. Caddaric would restore the old times. “I can’t. He said he can never love me so what would I be? A baby-making machine,” she said in self-mockery. Donna saw her to be lucky.“Your time is better, my child. During our time, we were killed after. It was th
“I had these documents sent through email. I have signed and also, this is another document giving you the power to sign everything on my behalf.” Caddaric was dumping one document to the other on her while he continued to speak. He was in a hurry and racing against time.“Never visit any of these businesses alone. Anna will go with you and the new security has arrived so the club is safe,” he assured her. He had already spoken to Anna to ensure that what happened with Prado doesn’t happen again. These men had worked with Anna when she was with the secret agency so they were excellent.“You can rest in my exclusive hotel room or you can have the penthouse. Rest when you are tired and give me an update on everything. For now, your supervisor's job must be on hold until I return but you will still be paid,” Caddaric explained hastily, not giving her the chance to refuse. Ariana already had everything planned out. Without him, she wasn’t going to use his penthouse or hotel. They were
“You also have to be careful. The Blades will be on your tail.”Ariana froze instantly, as silence reigned for the rest of the journey. She made Juliet sleepover because she was afraid of what she said about the Blades, though she didn’t show any reaction at that moment.The next morning, she went to meet Anna and began her visit to the companies - the bank first. Because Ariana was a beautiful woman, the bank manager was drooling over her.“What do you call that beautiful name of yours?” He began to patronize her. Ariana and Anna were formally dressed in contrast to their usual casual wear. Ariana wore a dress suit with a double-breasted blazer while Anna wore a trouser suit. They both had their hair coincidentally held in a ponytail with straight makeup to blend. In all, they looked very attractive.“Ariana Mends, I’m representing Mr. Caddaric Blade,” Ariana said politely with her hand extended for a shake. She didn’t expect the manager, who looked like a man in his late thirties, t
Before Caddaric arrived in Italy, Marshall was already there and gave him a heads-up on everything happening. The Dons were planning to overthrow the masked man because he was terrifying and there was an Invisible criminal on the loose who no man including the masked man had been able to find.Caddaric was willing to see the nominated candidate to replace the masked man, which was why he rushed to Italy. Marshall had also confirmed to him that the final decision would be made during the annual Bonfire meeting of the Dons. Caddaric thought that since his identity was hidden, he could avoid it but after knowing that the meeting was because of the mask, the masked man had to be there. That was what Santiago was telling him about the day he called to talk about Invisible.The secretary of the committee had called his emergency line several times but he didn’t answer it then. Since it was an emergency meeting, they were only given a day's notice. Caddaric’s only problem was the rule of c
The hall was dead silent with fear registered on the faces of all present. Sin Jon seemed abashed by the unexpected entry, exercising his authority. “It is a crime to attack or kill in this meeting,” the godfather said sternly over the microphone, his voice filling the auditorium. No ordinary person had the paunch to pull such a stunt. It only meant that this assassin, sniper, or whoever he was, had something up his sleeves. The hotel security had already been taken care of so the man at the entrance was confident.“Shut up old man,” the snipper responded and was about to pull the trigger when he fell on the floor, face down. Even without a microphone, his voice was well heard because of how quiet the auditorium was. Anxiety flooded the hall, as some of the dons went to check on the man on the floor.At the back of his head was a bullet hole but no one heard the sound of it. When the finding was announced, the hall was trembling and no one knew who had killed the sniper. Bodyguards

The family and not Claire? One of the Cals was about to disappear but Caddaric shook his head and said, “Let him in.” He already foresaw what was going to happen. Lord Marvin was looking dashing while he greeted everyone. He spent more time with Carter and said, “Mr. Carter Blade, I want to marry your daughter, Claire.” Sarah’s jaw dropped but Carter responded casually, “You should tell her, not me. I can’t decide for her.” Lord Marvin smiled. “Thanks for giving me your approval,” he said before Carter realized something and asked,“Wait, did you just trick me?” Everyone laughed as Lord Marvin knelt before Claire. He asked with a smile, “I asked you before and you told me to ask your dad. He just gave his support so; will you marry me?” Claire pulled him up by the collar with two hands and kissed him. “Yes, I will marry you,” she said after pulling away. When she received her ring, she was over the moon as their lips met again. The parents were so happy, they were shedding joyful
At Garnet’s residence, the two Cals arrived after having a quick shower. They were casually dressed and did not want to attend the party without their women. Madelyn was not at home so Cal one entered the house after knocking on the door once. Florence and Sue were having dinner and Sue froze upon seeing the two men. “There are two of them?” she asked Florence. “Yeah,” Florence smiled and said, loving the surprised look on her twin’s face. They had also begun wearing the same things as the men due to Caddaric and Casper’s warnings for the other pair to not be known about. The two men did not know which of the maidens were theirs, as such had not made a move so Florence said, “Grandpa marked me to match one of you.” Cal one instantly grabbed and kissed her passionately. When he broke from the kiss, he slipped a ring onto her finger. A diamond ring. Flo one’s eyes watered. She was not expecting it at all. They only told them about the marriage being a wed
“Good news and bad news to all families who lost a daughter, a mother, a wife, or any female. A rescue operation led by the man introduced barely a few weeks ago by the Blade family as the twin heir with his sister who the world already knew was the ghost, has performed another successful operation. This time, he rescued with the help of a few men, one hundred and thirty-three women from an underground basement in Jim Correy’s mansion.” Everyone turned to Cal, who was watching leisurely but the news was being reported live and videos showed him fighting and killing off some bodyguards while Carson, who sat beside him, was bringing out the women with a few men they contracted on the way upon hearing about the number. The emergency institutions and agencies had been informed and were on their way, as the reporter went on to say, “Some of them are in critical condition and are being transported to the hospital. Some are very weak and are being attended to by medical
“Why do you want me to sign a prenup?” Jim was not liking it. A wife was a means of support in hard times so what if Cleo died? Then everything of hers would go back to the Blades? How ruthless. He arrived in NY last night with Cleo and was having a final meeting with the Blades before the wedding took place. Cal one had passed information to Claire to calm everyone but not make it look suspicious that Cleo was disguised and had not turned her back on the family and Junior as they thought before. “Did she not tell you? My granddaughter has a net worth of billions so how can we be sure that you are not marrying her because of money? Tomorrow, you would ask for a divorce and ask her to split her assets. We can’t allow that,” Casper said sternly. He came with a few other Blade seniors but since he was the head of all of them, he took over the discussion. “Then she would have to sign a prenup against my wealth too,” Jim bantered. It was just as they had told him. The
Women lay on top of each other like sardines because the room, though big, was too small for them. They looked drowsy and just a few of them were alert. When they saw her, they were afraid. “Please don’t hurt us,” one of them said. Cleo’s heart was pained when she saw how they had still been tied together in their condition. Her knees touched the cold dirty floor while she comforted them, “I won’t hurt you but what are you doing here?” She asked in a hushed tone in Spanish because the woman addressed her in the said language. “We were kidnapped and brought here. Every time they come for someone; she does not return. We are starved, so we’ll be weak and can’t escape when given the chance,” she spoke bitterly. Cleo continued to interact with her in a low tone in Spanish. “But you look strong.” “That’s because I’m the last person to be brought here. The longer you stay, the weaker you get and get eliminated. Did they kidnap you too?” She asked pi
“This marriage will give us their protection and we will not have to hide our business anymore. For as long as we use her to threaten them, they will overlook all that we do. Can’t you see that we can’t get more women because everyone is on the lookout for us?” Jim asked helplessly. Justice’s tone softened as he cautioned, “You have to be careful. I will go and check on the packages.” Jim knew that he meant the women in the basement and reminded him, “We are leaving tomorrow for NY.” “Then let’s have some fun before tomorrow and don’t bring her along,” Justice said and was about to walk away when Cleo asked innocently, “Does your friend hate me? You did not introduce us. Jim, I feel like you are ashamed of me. You don’t want me to know about your friends and family,” she faked being hurt, and somehow, her eyes reddened instantly. She had to do this as proof that she had not heard their discussion and did not know about Justice’s relation to Ji
The Callahans have been in Mexico for three days. They were able to track Cleo’s location but have not heard any feedback, whether good or bad from her. They were getting worried and impatient, on the verge of breaking into Jim’s so-called mansion. Two days to Cleopatra’s wedding with Jim but she had not made headway. Every time, she insisted on staying back at the mansion when she had the chance and searched for vital information but got none. Jim never entertained maids. A cleaner would come every morning to clean and leave after two to three hours. Time was running out and Cleo was still clueless as to what Jim did for a living. Sometimes, she was tempted to believe that Jim was indeed innocent of all the accusations but her instincts would insist on him being guilty. Tomorrow, they will be headed to NY for the wedding so if Cleo did not step up, then she’d have to marry Jim to continue her search or give up on the whole thing after breaking up with him, which
Caddaric received information from Casper that Florence had been marked so he said sternly to Sue, “I will send you to your real mother and twin sister but you shall both bear the same name and no one should know that there are two of you. Florence is the name of your twin sister. She would explain things to you.” Sue was dumbstruck. Twins? Now she was getting upset with the woman she had known all her life as a mother. She had been denied her time with her sister and she wished Caddaric had told her before the woman left. No wonder she was afraid and thought she was going to be punished but rather got compensation. “So, my name is going to be changed to Florence?” Sue asked seriously and was eager to meet her twin sister. “All your records and identity would be destroyed. You are Florence Garnet II,” Caddaric explained. Sue did not seem happy but when engulfed in the warm embrace of a middle-aged woman who looked like her, she began to shed tears. Madelyn was so
