I am very grateful for all your support. Thank you.
Caddaric could feel his heart shredding with every step he took towards the couple, who hadn’t noticed him, despite people murmuring around them. A waitress passed by him with a tray full of martini. Caddaric took one, gulped it down, and dropped the glass on the tray. Without a word, he pulled Ariana to his chest and punched the guy in the face. Ariana was terrified and began to wiggle out of his arms to the man but Caddaric only held her tighter, carrying and throwing her over his shoulder. He seemed to have gone crazy because he didn’t care anymore if their relationship was made public. This pregnancy fiasco was driving him mad. “Let me go,” Ariana yelled, hitting his back with her hands and kicking her legs in the air but Caddaric ignored her plea and walked faster, everyone who saw him gave way instantly. Ariana knew she was in trouble. Now she had the money but wouldn’t be able to escape anymore since she already knew what Caddaric could do. Her heart sunk as all her struggl
Caddaric’s fingers tightened around the note, shrinking it to a dot after he had memorized the location. His teeth ground together, his jaw clenched and his blood boiled. Only one person could operate without a trace and he had the guts to not only infiltrate the club but also Caddaric’s exclusive hotel room.He was bold enough to ask for his sister in exchange. Caddaric instantly dialed a number. “Grandpa, please get someone to watch your location and come back.”Before Marshall could ask why only a beeping sound was heard. Then he dialed Anna’s number. “Please meet me in my office.”By the time Caddaric got there, Anna was already waiting for him. Seeing the scowl on his face, she guessed that something gruesome had happened.“Did you find out who messed with the CCTV?” Anna asked him. It could be the only thing to have gotten him so upset. Caddaric didn’t have proof but his instinct was strong,“It’s Invisible.”Anna felt uneasy. For years, no one has been able to track down that c
Throughout the drive to his father’s manor, Anna’s words kept ringing in Caddaric’s head. ‘I never thought you’d fall in love like your father.’ What about Miranda? He already gave her his word and it was unlike him to go back on it. But did he have it in him to make Ariana his mistress? The answer was an instant no. She deserved more than that, had his heart, and also carried his seed. Confusion was at the center of his mind with the fear of something bad happening to Ariana. It was late when he arrived at the manor but the security let him in. Being sure that everyone would be asleep he went straight to Cassandra’s room without thinking of a reasonable excuse but just as he was about to knock on her door, a deep voice sounded behind him, “what do you want here?’ Caddaric turned to meet his father’s penetrating gaze. If nothing at all, he was expecting to meet Hunter and not his dad. “I want to see Cassa,” he said indifferently. There was no panic in his tone. Casper had a gut fe
Feeling the heated gazes of the three people on herself. Cassandra was uncomfortable and began to think that she was being suspected of kidnapping Ariana. It made her sour that her brother would think so lowly about her.“Why? You think that I kidnapped her?” She asked in a bitter tone. Caddaric observed her and said,“No one is accusing you. You don’t look afraid of being killed if your father doesn’t pay your ransom because indeed if things don’t go well, someone can get hurt. It’s why I regret not allowing you to train like the others. If left alone, how will you survive?” he asked worriedly.Cassandra sighed. She might not be so tough but she wasn't weak. “I can survive anywhere, don’t underestimate me.”Caddaric was a little pleased by her resolve. In this world, if you weren’t tough, then you had to be wise but it was best to be both. “Then I don’t think we have a problem but you will have to be with me,” Caddaric said.“Who else will I be with?” Cassandra asked, faking a smile.
The woman didn’t hold back in giving her answers. For as long as she was concerned, she wasn’t going to let Ariana leave here alive. “Well, since you are going to die, then you must as well know that he is Invisible.”Ariana froze instantly and also at that moment, she recalled where she had heard the name, Allan. Yes, it was from Cassandra. They were secretly in love with each other so why not kidnap Cassandra instead of her? It would have made a beautiful love story. ‘The Blade Princess and the rogue,’ Ariana reminisced in her mind before she asked again,“So, you had Invisible kidnap me for you?”“No bitch, Invisible kidnapped you because of Cassandra. I only outsmarted him,” the woman said coyly, congratulating herself for being the end-time hero but Ariana was baffled. She wanted to hold more information till Caddaric got there but she was also interested in the information she was getting.“What do you mean by outsmarting him?”The woman shook her head with disappointment at the
Allan wasn't startled at the news. He looked through his binoculars, his heart giving a wild thump at the sight of Cassandra from the distance. He knew that Caddaric would not even see the building because of its location and design. All he wanted to do was to hold Cassandra in his arms for the first time and somehow, Caddaric’s intimidating appearance didn’t scare him at all. For as long as it was Cassandra, he was willing to do anything for her. He turned to Darel and said with excitement, “Nothing changes. We stick to the plan.” Darel’s expression was derisive. “Are you mad?” He asked. Allan was relaxed. He couldn’t infiltrate the Blade Towers anymore but had his heart delivered at his doorstep so why should he give up? “I’m not forcing anyone. You are free to leave if you want to but I’m going by the plan.” Darel felt sorry for him. He might just lose his life for this Blade princess without anyone to remember him while they marry her off to some rich dude in the future. The
At the moment, Caddaric wasn’t certain that he could fully trust Ariana again. Not after knowing that she wanted to run away from him. It would take time for her to gain back his trust so he couldn’t convince himself to believe what she just said.“I will call you back,” he said to Marshall on the phone and hung up. Then he asked Ariana, “What do you know about this?”Ariana wasn’t comfortable with the way he skimmed at her and how cynical he was of her since she had always been on his receiving side. Whereas thinking about the lies she had told him about her pregnancy, she swallowed the bitterness that was churning her stomach.Caddaric trusted her wholeheartedly and she lost it all in a blink. She swallowed tightly and said, “His name is Allan.”She didn’t say anymore, knowing that Caddaric would be able to figure out the rest and he did.“The same one who infil…”“Yes,” Ariana answered instantly, cutting him off before he could complete his sentence and adding, “that’s why he can’
It was the most vulnerable moment she ever saw of him but couldn’t ravish in it for long, as he lifted his head due to her movement. “Are you alright?” He looked at her worriedly and asked. He didn’t look intimidating or angry but rather like a lost child.His eyes were red and filled with complicated emotions. Ariana was very pressed, thanks to her pregnancy hormones. “I want to pee,” she said. He chuckled and moved away. Oh, early pregnancy and pee. He had read all about it when he was researching contraceptives.When Ariana returned, he was sitting on the bed waiting for her. The first word that came out of his mouth was, “sorry.”Ariana was lost. What exactly was he apologizing for? Before she asked, he continued, “I’m sorry for my harsh words a few hours ago. I was just upset because you tried to leave me.”Ariana’s heart warmed but there were things they still needed to settle. This wasn’t enough to bring peace but perhaps it was a start. “I forgive you,” she said honestly but

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
