There was no point in asking; Rissa knew Gracia's father was Bianca's latest boyfriend; who was she to judge? Her two close friends just dropped some bombshells about their love lives at their girl's time, and she still finds it difficult to wrap her head around them.She was out of Adrian's office when she got a video call from Camela who was beaming with smiles. “Girl! You look like you just got off a red carpet and won an award with that flawless makeup on your face”, Rissa said playfully and Camela blushed.“I went on the first date with my supervisor, apparently Rissa, he was really romantic than he let on”, Rissa laughed heartily, time indeed heals most wounds, two years ago, Camela had suffered from a messy divorce which left her really bitter, but now she looked happier, love is really great.“Congratulations, babe,” Rissa said blissfully; she tried to hide her own sorrow, but Camela was too quick to catch on. She questioned her about Diane's charade, and they spoke for much l

Rissa clutched Caleb tightly in her grasp, not letting go; she kept weeping in agony, leaving Adrian no choice but to watch the scenario unfold as he helplessly stood there. Caleb yawned lazily and was startled by his mother's tears. He hugged her lovingly basking in her warmth.This was it, Diane Donaldson’s last straw, how dare she threaten his child! He gently patted Rissa's shoulder and helped Caleb's nanny to her feet; Martha's face was pale as if she had actually seen a ghost. She had prayed silently in her heart for a peaceful landing when she had the gun pointed at her skull.What average nanny gets to find herself on the bad side of gangsters? The three bodyguards woke up looking really tired, they straightened up out of embarrassment the moment they saw the murderous look on Adrian Grey's face.“What did you have in common, probably consume?” he questioned suspiciously with a slightly raised voice. The tallest of the trio kept fidgeting; he had suggested they order some gri

Liam felt at ease; everything seemed to be in place. He wasn't greedy, nor was he going to be intimidated by Perchy Peach's reputation. Their competition is healthy enough for both companies to thrive individually.He looked over at Amber, whose pleasant smile and mesmerizing eyes could keep anyone glued; the joy she radiated while nursing Bella reminded him that he had everything he had always hoped for right in his arms; they were both born in wealth, their parents had prepared their future properly.“Babe, you look…carried away”, Amber said, throwing him a smile.“I am just happy”, he responded simply.Getting married thrice was the biggest twist of his life, and it wasn't any easier that the right woman for him had always been by his side right from onset but he was too blinded by his mundane thinking to realize it sooner.Since the last time Mr George had visited him at the office, Diane hadn't made any other threatening moves toward his life but he was determined to be prepared

*Flashback*Diane's eyes searched her environment; the hostile look on the man’s face had confirmed her fear; his corpse had been discovered. Now she was going to be killed.She didn't dare try to escape; that would be unwise and cowardice; if she was going to be dead, it had to be with her chin up high; she had escaped death too many times to be intimidated now.Mr Smith’s keen eyes scanned hers as the other men kept whispering in a foreign language; she bit her lips in frustration; were they plotting to avenge him now? “Was it you?” Mr Smith said to her and she nodded in affirmation.He let out a frustrated sigh “We wouldn't be getting out of here alive; that is what they are discussing; fortunately, I am multilingual.”Two strong men came out of the room with the general’s corpse on their sturdy shoulders. Diane's eyes widened, he was already looking pale as if his blood had been drained. Mr Smith put his hand by his side, and Diane knew he was ready for the worst that was to come

Rissa's eyes shut deeper; Adrian hadn't left her side at all; he kept hovering over her bed, checking at her face, desperately hoping she was still asleep; it took all of her resolve to pretend to be in deep sleep. The attempt on Caleb had shaken them out of their bones. While they were busy trying to enjoy their love life, their son was almost harmed.She heard his phone ring several times but he kept declining them, even the chimes suggested numerous messages. Rissa clutched Caleb tighter as the memory resurfaced in her mind. She wondered what Stella, her mother, had gone through in the short time Peter was kidnapped. Thinking of her family, she felt her heart sink; they had been so far apart since the incident. Her mother, Stella, had kept up communication, but guilt had made Rissa stay away from them. Right now, she wished for a hug from her mother, but she didn't dare call for it.Rissa slowly raised her head, and her eyes met with Adrian's, who had been keeping his eyes on her

*Flashback*The little girl blinked rapidly at the strange man in their house, she had noticed her mother panicking but ignored it and continued fiddling with her doll. The man smiled at her, a cold smile that eluded his eyes. Despite her mother's hostility towards the stranger, Diane smiled back warmly.“Don't you dare touch my daughter! I told him I would live quietly without disrupting his plan”.Her mother shouted angrily; she looked around, but the area was too deserted to have passersby; she had left Los Angeles for the countryside to hide her pregnancy, which she stubbornly refused to terminate; her whole life was doomed the day she decided to become a mistress to the well-known devil—--Mr. Denver.“You did a terrible job at being quiet,” Mr. Smith shot back.“It wasn't my fault that his wife found me; I swear, I have no intention of blackmailing him,” she responded dejectedly, shaking with fright.Mr Smith took a long look at her and also the child; he felt no remorse whatsoev

“What the hell!”Diane screamed out loudly; she rushed out of bed and put on a short dress, still clutching tightly the paper in her hand. She had glanced through the three segments of the papers in her hand, and fear gripped her; whoever must have sent it definitely knew her from way before and had found his or her way into her present life.She rushed out of the house and took her car leaving Rosa standing there in wonderment. She couldn't care less at the moment, someone had done her assignment for her, an assignment she had stalled till she was done with her revenge. But someone seemed to be too impatient to wait it out and hit her heart with a boulder.She had zoomed off at full speed, ignoring too many traffic rules; she didn't mind paying those damn fines; she hated to be surprised, but unfortunately, the information the envelope contained was packed with so much surprise.The car came to an abrupt stop in front of the orphanage. Diane looked through the car window at the faded

“Mum, we are building a sandman”.Caleb's enthusiasm melted Rissa's troubled heart, she sat in the far end of the beach house dressed in a sexy teal green bikini and a slightly draped kimono. They had put off the beach visit for too long, fearing attacks; their lives had been at a standstill for too long, and unwinding turned out to be the best idea.She looked over at the all-powerful CEO of Perchy Peach packing some earth with his bare hands; he looked too happy doing it that Rissa scoffed inwardly; his authoritative aura had been replaced with a childlike look; she was glad they had taken Mrs Robinson’s weird advice.With one look at the peacefulness of the ocean, Rissa wished she had such a life, but unfortunately, hers was filled with too many dramatic encounters and dangerous turns that she barely remembers what it felt like to be at total ease.She kept on glancing at their phones that had laid helpless on the floor, Adrian had come up with the idea that they switch off their p

The door opened with a loud thud and Adrian jumped up abruptly, his heart thumping loudly that he could barely manage to stand up straight. Rissa rushed towards them, and they all gathered around the surgeon, who threw a casual look at Rissa's exquisite shimmering flowing white gown.“The surgery was successful”Just one word and jubilation filled the air; Bianca and the baby boy had made it, and to their relief, Caleb hugged his cousin Gracia, who was still so overwhelmed that she had gotten a little brother at her teenage age. Bianca’s husband broke down in tears and Adrian had to console him.Adrian held Rissa's hand, and they exited the hospital; now that the baby had been born, they could enjoy the later part of their wedding party in merriment. Once they returned to the venue, Rissa rushed back to her changing room, where her designer was waiting patiently; Adrian had booked her for the whole day’s worth, so she had no problem with their little charade.“Let us skip the second l
Stolen heaven Chapter 199: Something Dumb To Do
The cool breeze blew in Rissa's face, and she felt bliss formed in her heart; for the second time in her lifetime, she heard the priest announce her arrival.“Here comes the bride”All heads turned in her direction, and thousands of eyes followed her gentle stride; from the pleasant look on their faces, her designer had done a flawless job. The stress that came with fitting her bulging stomach into the elegant dress she chose was a really hilarious moment for Camela. Rissa had vowed that her pregnancy wasn't going to stop her from slaying to her wedding.Abraham got up, Stella gave him a reassuring nod and he made for Rissa's side. She gave him a soft smile as the feeling of safety engulfed her; he had been nothing short of a wonderful father figure since she met him, and she wasn't willing to trade him for anyone, even if her real father were to show up, which was very unlikely. Walking her down the aisle, Abraham had truly earned it.Rissa's eyes met Adrian's, he looked at her so dr
Stolen heaven Chapter 198: To Call Your Bluff
Rosa kept shooting daggers at Adrian, but he didn't care; all that mattered was getting them deported out of Los Angeles. The police officers ushered them into the van. Bryan was silent, which bothered Adrian a little, but he overlooked it.Mrs Denver didn't show up; she had invited them, Bryan and Rosa, over only to hand them over to Adrian, who was hellbent on putting them behind bars or getting them deported. Unfortunately, Bryan had no other recorded crime aside from illegal entry, but Rosa could spend a few years behind bars for abetting Diane's crimes.Rosa was being dragged forcibly by a policeman when she screamed out; he released her arm as black blood was seeping out; Adrian remembered their last encounter, the bullet wound, and explained to the officers; they allowed her to undress the wound, to their surprise, it was rotting away.Adrian closed his eyes, disgusted by the pungent smell coming out of them; they decided to take her to the hospital while Bryan was to go into d
Stolen heaven Chapter 197: Bygone!!!
“I believe you are holding our family's treasure, Mr. Hickson.”Mrs Denver's loud voice cut through the air, the amusement behind her voice, a loud sound of victory. Liam contemplated calling off her charade but he decided to be civil about it.“I thought you said she wasn't your husband’s illegitimate daughter?” he questioned with a slightly raised brow.“I lied, but now that the three of them are dead and I don't have to take sleeping pills to force myself to sleep, I need to rub it in my husband's face by burying her ashes beside his”.Liam paused for a few seconds savouring the bitterness behind her words. She wasn't totally wrong. Diane’s bad blood was inherited from her callous father, Mr Denver, and they didn't really deserve any mercy. He looked down at the ceramic he was holding and stretched it forward to her.He had achieved his aim already, so having her ashes taken away by her family wasn't a big deal. His mind drifted off to the day he got their divorce papers signed, th
Stolen heaven Chapter 196: Who You Were
*Diane's Dream*Clara tried holding Diane's hand, but she pushed her hands away; the pain in her eyes, the unspoken resentment, she wondered how she even recognized her, but none of it seemed to matter; she just wanted to get out of her sight.“I am sorry my child”Diane turned around and gave her a disdainful look as if it mattered at all; all she wanted was to return to Rissa's ward and infuse the poisonous substance into her bloodstream. She looked around herself, everywhere looked so bright and deserted.She walked on, ignoring the helpless lady standing by her side pleading for her forgiveness; her life had been made miserable all thanks to her mother's reckless choice of man.“Diane, I never abandoned you, it is just….”“Save it to yourself, woman; I do not think I want to hear your excuses; I just want to get the hell out of here.”To her surprise, the woman did as she said, within a split second she disappeared, replaced by an all too familiar face, Mr Smith. Diane felt fear
Stolen heaven Chapter 195: Mend My Soul, Mr Grey
“Adrian, am I pregnant?” Rissa wanted to scream but she held it in. An awkward silence ensued in the room; Adrian looked away instantly, avoiding Rissa's piercing gaze. Liam took it as a clue to leave, his bombshell seemed to have caused a shift in the atmosphere of the room.“I will check up on you later,” Liam said and winked playfully at Caleb, who smiled warmly in return. He walked out of the room with Adrian by his side. The moment they were out of sight, he apologized profusely to Adrian for spilling the beans. He had unintentionally eavesdropped on Adrian and the doctor's conversation earlier, which made him realize she was pregnant at a very early stage.“It is fine; congratulations to you, too. I guess Mrs. Hickson must be overwhelmed.”“She is, our daughter Bella is barely eight months old and……wait! Why are we talking about this?” Liam said bewildered.“Beats me too; we aren't friends after all,” Adrian responded, and awkwardly, they both laughed heartily.Adrian and Liam
Stolen heaven Chapter 194: Blinded By Greed
Bryan paced endlessly, agitated by the silence around him. She had promised to reach out to him when the coast was clear but apparently something unfortunate had happened. He ruffled his lustrous hair as frustration welled up in him. Rosa wasn't the type to ghost him indefinitely.He thought inwardly about taking the offer discreetly. Mrs. Denver had reached out to him without Rosa's knowledge; she had warned him of her two-faced plot, and he was caught between calling it a bluff or actually naming her a traitor.Diane and Rosa have their pictures and videos circulating the internet. He was certain they were together but had she changed her mind and taken Diane's side again? He didn't want to talk about it.A knock sounded at the door, and he opened it immediately; he staggered backward, startled; he had expected a hotel attendant, but to his amazement, two prominent men in Los Angeles had paid him a visit.“Can we come in?”Bryan’s eyes widened, and he stared intently into Adrian Gre

The news of his family's safe return had raised a lot of jubilations that made even Liam happy.When the news of Rissa and Caleb's kidnap was aired, fear gripped him; he couldn't take his eyes off his family for days. He felt bad for Adrian, but he felt worse because it was Rissa. Bella crawled up to him enthusiastically flaunting her rattle in his face.Liam picked her up and wrapped his arm around her, she was growing up way too fast that it gave him unexplainable joy. Amber entered the room looking dejected and Liam got worried. He walked up to her and inquired what the problem was, her response shocked him to the bone marrow.“You mean we are having another baby?” He questioned wide-eyed.Amber responded with a short nod and busted into tears. Liam left the room immediately to drop Bella with her n
Stolen heaven Chapter 192: To Ruin The Day
“Shall we play a game, Adrian?” Her devilish wink sent shivers down his spine; he looked down at Caleb, who seemed to be fidgeting too; he exchanged knowing looks with him, assuring him of having the situation under control.“The rules are simple: just nod your response, no talking, you talk, he dies! non-negotiable”.Adrian closed his eyes and nodded in affirmation, Diane sat up on the chair and faced him while still on his knees. Adrian could feel his knees hurting, but he didn't care at all; all that mattered to him was getting his family out of the hellhole.“Did Mr Smith offer you a deal?”Adrian nodded affirmatively, and Diane cursed inwardly; she suspected that sly bastard was up to something; she should have thrown him to the fishes when she had the chance.Her phone rang, and she looked over at it; she exchanged stiff glances with Rosa, who got the message clearly. Rosa came close to her and held Caleb by the shoulder while Diane left to pick up her discreet call.Rosa star
