Lorenzo and Sarah packed their suitcases the next day as they prepared for their vacation."Shall we?" Lorenzo inquired, extending his hands like a gentleman. Sarah grinned as she took his hand in hers. Lorenzo smiled with delight as Sarah became more at ease about him. He was certain that before the holiday was through, she would fall madly in love with him.They arrived in Hawaii in the early morning hours. They took a nap as soon as they checked into their hotel since they were exhausted.Sarah was already awake when Lorenzo opened his eyes, and she appeared to be lost in contemplation as she gazed out the window at the water. Simply by looking at her,You could tell she was sad just by looking at her.After deciding what to do, he slowly rose from his bed and tiptoed to where she was standing."Boo!" he yelled in her ears, causing her to jump in fright before turning to see what was going on, and she saw Lorenzo laughing at her."Hey, why did you do that?" she inquired, but Lorenzo
Two weeks have come and gone already and the vacation between Ivy and Leon has ended.Ivy was in her room arranging her clothes when her phone rang,she checked it and saw that it was an incoming video call from Leon.she smiled before tapping the answer call button and Leon's face came into view.she placed her phone on top of the table so it won't obstruct her from doing what she was doing."Bonjour mon amour"he greeted and Ivy's smile broadened more."You look so beautiful when you smile like that,I wish you are with me now so I can kiss your beautiful lips"he added."You called just to flatter me, don't you have work to do today?"Ivy asked."Oh my baby doesn't miss me as much as I miss her,I feel so hurt,"Leon said, pouting his lips.Not knowing what to say to him,Ivy went back to packing her clothes."How are you doing?"Leon asked."I am doing fine,I just miss Paris so much,"Ivy replied, concentrating on Leon again as she sat down on the bed."You miss Paris but you don't miss your f
"Hahahaha""Hahahaha"The duo's laughter filled the room as they looked at the updates of Super pacific company."I told you that this plan will work, didn't I ?"Amora said to Kelvin, whose face was beaming with smiles."You are a bad girl and I love that,"Kelvin said to her, smirking."I will do anything just to make Leon suffer for what he did to me,I will never stop till I bring him down"Amora said to Kelvin who was accessing her with his eyes."You should be taking revenge on me too because as far as I can remember I wasn't good to you,why only Leon?"Kelvin questioned.Amora let out a laugh before returning her gaze to him."The earlier you understand that you are useless to me the better for you,yes I know you were not good to me but you are too insignificant for me to waste my time plotting revenge on you,I don't care about you,I only involved you in my plans because we have one common enemy here and that is Leonardo de Salvo"Her response annoyed Kelvin but it also made him bel
She decided to pay him a visit at work.When she got there.She met Dave, who recommended her not to visit him at this time because he was quite busy. She left with a sour face, hoping that things would improve.Leon got up from his chair the next day and stretched his muscles since he was exhausted from working all night.He checked his wristwatch and saw that it was 6am Before leaving the office, he grabbed his suitcase."Good morning, sir," Dave said as he followed him."Did you follow through on what I asked you to do?"Leon inquired, and Dave nodded.""Yes, sir. "He confessed to his crime, but he didn't reveal who ordered him to do such a thing" Dave responded. "He doesn't need to reveal the mastermind because I already know who it is: My uncle and his son." The good news is that he admitted his guilt, and our problem has been resolved. "He would go down alone to protect his masters," Leon told Dave."Should I release his family since he has already confessed?"Dave inquired."You sh

She was so tired and all she wanted was to rest."Your highness you have a meeting with the….."Cancel it,I want to rest"she cut her off immediately."Okay your highness "Jade replied before leaving.Amelia went back to her room and when she arrived,the maids had already prepared a bath for her.she asked the maids to leave because she wanted to be alone.She strode into the bathroom and entered the bathtub filled with red roses.Although she felt relaxed,it didn't last long because her mind was still in turmoil as she couldn't stop thinking about Leo Parker's whereabouts.After bathing,she stepped out of the bathtub and went into her room.She dried her body with a towel and rubbed lotion o
THE NEXT DAY.Amelia was all dressed up and prepared for what the day had to offer her.she was looking at herself in the mirror when she heard a knock on her door."Come in"she said and the door opened and a maid stepped in."Greetings your highness"she greeted with her head bow."What is it?"Amelia questioned."Prince Louis is here to see you,he is waiting in the living room"she replied."I will be there in a minute"Amelia said to her and the maid bowed her head once more before exiting her room.After checking herself in the mirror,she strode out of the room and her servants at the door followed her suite as she walked to the living room.As soon as she arrived in the living room,the door was opened for her and she entered.she saw Louis sitting on one of the couches with a magazine in his hands.As soon as he saw Amelia,he stood as a sign of respect to her."Greetings your highness"he greeted and Amelia nodded."How are you?"she asked, sitting down."I am doing fine"Louis replied"H
"She is a graduate but she didn't get a job,she started catering for herself and her father who couldn't provide for her again since he became sick"Louis said, bringing out a picture of Ivy's father.Amelia took the picture from him and she recognized him immediately. How could she forget the face of the first man she fell in love with? It was almost impossible."This is Leo,"she said to Louis, who nodded.Amelia was so happy, seeing Leo's picture helped in confirming that Ivy was her daughter.she was not mistaken."From the findings we have made,your daughter didn't have a comfortable life,she worked many part time jobs"Louis said to Amelia who clenched her fists.Her heart ached badly as she thought of what her daughter would have gone through.She blamed Leo for everything,if only he didn't take her daughter away from her, she would have given her daughter the kind of life she deserved,the life of a royal princess of the Rochefort family.She could feel anger take over her whole bei

LEON'S POV." How are you doing my dear nephew?"he questioned and I smiled. "I'm doing great especially now that we have began to co- operate like the family that we are" I replied him. "Talking about family, I think we should have a family dinner one day"he said and I smiled. "Sure, you can text me anytime you are ready. I will make myself available. I have to go now" I said to him before walking into the elevator. As soon as I got to my office. I scattered everything on my desk in anger. I was really furious and I wanted to vent my anger out. He is such a hypocrite. How can he smiling at me like he doesn't want me dead?. Well, I can't wait for that smile to wipe off his face. I don't think I will be able to hold myself for long anymore. I can't stand this people anymore and it's really fustrating. I have to start my plans and finish it as soon as possible. I can't wait anymore. I really miss Ivy so much and I want to hold her in my arms again and tell her how much I love
IVY'S POV. The sound of the alarm made me open my eyes. I switched off the alarm which was still ringing before rolling up the curtains and the rays of the morning sun shone brightly into my eyes. I went into the bathroom and took my bath before changing into my maid's uniform. I headed to Leon's room to clean his room and when I reached there,he was taking his bath so I hurried up cleaning the room before leaving. I helped out in the kitchen. After everything,Leon came to have his breakfast dressed up already for work. "Good morning sir"I greeted him as he sat down on the chair. He only nodded at me. I stood there while he sipped the tea. I bit my lips and rubbed my palms as I thought of what to tell him. "Why are you standing there, staring at me like someone who lost her way?"he asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I glared at him. The first word he will tell me this morning was insult. That's very rude of him. I'm just putting up with him because I love him.
IVY'S POV. I was in the kitchen preparing some food to eat when I received a call from Sarah. She was crying so much and I became worried. I wonder what was happening to her. Did she have a miscarriage or what?. "Sarah, what is happening?" I asked. "Ivy,I need to talk to you right now. I can't bear this anymore. I can't bear this pain anymore".she cried. "Okay,I will come to you right now. Just text me the address" I said to her before ending the call. I ran into my room and changed into a simple blue gown. I put on my sandals before leaving the room. I boarded a cab which took me to the hotel Sarah was in. I couldn't help but wonder why she was staying in a hotel. I found the room she was staying in,I knocked but got no response from her. I pushed the door opened and entered the room only to see her crouched on the floor crying. She was holding an alcohol in her hands too. I rushed immediately and took the alcohol from her hands. I kept it on the table.
SARAH'S POV. I opened the envelope as thoughts of what it could possibly be filled my head. I brought out the paper inside of it and started going through the contents. I was shocked when I saw what it was about. It was an annulment letter. Lorenzo wanted a divorce. I felt like my world was crumbling down. Tears rolled down my cheeks profusely. All this while I have been hoping that he would gather his thoughts and come back to me but he was just planning our divorce. A day didn't pass when I don't think of him, how is he doing and what he was up to but all this while he was just thinking of how to annul our marriage. My heart hurt so much just from thinking about it. "You are a disappointment"I heard Kelvin's voice. "This marriage is the only thing you can contribute to the business of this family but you couldn't do it"he continued. "I told you Lucas, it is such a waste taking this useless daughter of yours in. She is just useless to this family. She is just like her mistress mo
SARAH'S POV. My luggages were scattered in the compound. I parked my car immediately in the garage and alighted from the car, rushing into the mansion. Luckily I saw Lorenzo seating in the living room. "What is happening? Why is my things outside?" I questioned. "Oh you are back"he said to me, standing up from the couch to face me. "I have been waiting for you and since you are here, I will go straight to the point. I don't want you to be in my house again. I can't stand the sight of you anymore"he said to me. "Please Lorenzo don't do this to me. Give me another chance"I pleaded. "Don't you get it?. I don't want to see you anymore. Seeing your face everytime only irritates me. Just leave now I'm asking you before I call the security"he said to me. I fell on my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks. "Please don't do this to me" "Security! Security!"he called and his men came in immediately. "Please escort her out of the mansion. I don't want to see h
SARAH'S POV. After spending some weeks in the hospital, Lorenzo was finally alright. Even though I was happy,my happiness was short-lived because he didn't want to see me anywhere around him and it hurts so much. He will be discharged today so I woke up early and took my bathe. I dressed up before driving to the hospital. When I got there,he was talking to the doctor. "Okay, I have heard"he said to the doctor who greeted me before leaving. He didn't stare at me nor said a word to me. He just acted like I wasn't there. He tried to get up from the bed but he missed his balance. I rushed forward immediately to help him but he pushed me with so much force that made me to crash to the wall and hurt my arms. The pain I felt from my injured arm wasn't compared to the pain I felt when he looked at me with so much hatred in his eyes. "How many times will I tell you that I don't want to see your face for you to hear me?. Is it that you are deaf or you are just being stubborn
SARAH'S POV. I slowly opened my eyes,the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. I got up from the bed and held my head which was throbbing. My eyes scanned the room and my gaze landed on a man lying down on the floor. Just then he got up from the ground. I could recognize who he was when he stared at me."Charles" I muttered. I looked down at my body and discovered that I was naked.I covered myself immediately with a duvet."What happened to me?"I thought as I was very scared right this moment then everything that happened the other day replayed in my head. I got up from the bed immediately with the duvet still covering me and opened the window and the bright sun shone into my eyesight and I realized that it was morning already. I fell down on my knees as tears rolled down my cheeks profusely. The Happy life I was living with Lorenzo is over. How would he even look at me when he saw my ex boyfriend banging me right in front of him. How would he believe me if I told him that
LORENZO'S POV. I couldn't get the scene I witnessed out of my thoughts. I was in such much pain that I thought my heart was being yanked from my chest. How could Sarah have done this to me? I adored her and gave her everything I had, but she chose to betray me. She didn't even try to hunt me down to apologize; she simply sat on that filthy bed and did nothing. How could she? She and that boy are going to pay for breaking me. They have to pay. Because I didn't want to go home yet, I drove to a nearby bar. I ordered so many drinks in an attempt to erase my agony, but no matter how hard I tried, it remained vivid in my mind. After consuming the one on my table, I ordered more. I can only forget this anguish by becoming drunk. My gaze was drawn to a girl sitting on the other side of the table. She had a nice smile on her face as she looked at me. I drank the whiskey in my glass cup before staggering over to where she was. "Why are you staring at me?"I asked in a drunken tone,
IVY'S POV. I packed my bags as I prepared to leave my apartment. My eyes scanned everywhere to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. My phone rang,I looked at the caller id and saw that it was my dad calling me again,I disconnected the call. I wasn't ready to talk to him. I felt that he wasn't the man that raised me. The man that raised me was a good man who taught me to be a good kid. How could he turn out to be a murderer?. Tears clouded my eyes and I wiped it with my handkerchief. My phone started ringing again and I switched it off this time around. My eyes scanned the room as I wanted to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. My main goal now was getting Leon back. He has the right to hate me because I know how it feels to grow up without a parent talkless of him whose parents were murdered when he was still a kid right in front of him and the murderer turns out to be my father. I don't know if I will ever forgive my father. I locked the door to my apartment before
