“Where are you taking me?” Beth asked Cyrus in surprise when she noticed that they were not going to the mansion. “I just need to ask you something and explain. I will take you to the hideout and wait there until your son’s case is solved,” Cyrus explained before stopping the car in front of a house that was just the right size. Beth quietly went inside the house. She immediately looked around. She breathed a sigh of relief, and it was fully equipped. There is also a maid there who cleans. “Sit down so we can get started.” Cyrus pointed to a chair for Beth to sit on. Beth suddenly became nervous when she remembered that they were going to talk about her son. “What do you need to know about my son?”“Sunshine regained her memory. Yes, she has already remembered, and that is the reason why her life is now critical.” “Did she say that she really loved my son?” Cyrus shook his head, and the lady’s mind seemed to be out of focus. The only thing on her mind is what she thinks will be
When Janice saw Shaina, she quickly approached her. “How is Sunshine?“Her situation is still not good, but she has been transferred to the ICU,” Shaina replied sadly.Janice’s mood secretly rejoiced. She prayed that Sunshine wouldn’t wake up again. “I pray that she wakes up, and so does the baby.”“Thank you!” Shaina smiled at Janice. But deep inside she wants to make her accountable to the law. A while ago, her husband told her the reason why Janice’s room was guarded. She didn’t think her bad hunch about Jessica was right. She could say that they were worse than her cousins Lovely and Angeline. That they have used violence just to fulfill their ambition in life. “Mommy!”Shaina eagerly looked at the person who called her. She was very happy that Adrian’s twin was back. Arriana cried and hugged her mother, who shed tears when she saw her. Now, she can feel the eagerness of her mother now that she is hugging her. She also disappeared for several months, and now, the family is fac
When Janice saw that Adrian was coming, she quickly entered her daughter’s room and closed it. “Quick, lie down again and pretend to be weak!”“Do I look okay, Mom, even without make-up?” Jessica asked her mother worriedly. “Don’t worry about your beauty for now. It’s better for him to see you looking miserable and with pale lips.” Jessica smiled at her mother, and hurriedly lay down on the hospital bed. Her mother was right, the poorer she looked like in Adrian’s sight, the better. She closed her eyes when someone turned the doorknob. Janice stood up after turning around and greeted Adrian. “Son, it’s good that you had time to visit my daughter. She is still weak, and she has no appetite.” Adrian’s facial expression was blank as he stared at the lady before moving his gaze to Jessica. Instead of pitying what he heard, he became even more angry. But he has to be patient. “Adrian…” Jessica’s voice called out to the young man weakly. She slowly opened her eyes, and tried to smile,
“Mommy, I don’t want to go to jail!” Jessica clung to her mother while crying, but she couldn’t hug her because both of her hands were handcuffed. Janice also started crying, and she was not ready for this problem she was facing. She didn’t expect that they would come to this point with her daughter. When Jessica saw Adrian’s mother, she knelt in front of her. They were still in the hospital, and everyone was looking at them. “Auntie, I’m sorry! You seem so kind, please, help me not to go to jail!” Shaina just let Jessica kneel in front of her. She was very disappointed with what they did. “We didn’t fail to help your family. You know that whatever you bring to me, I give it to you. But this?” “Shaina, even if you only help my daughter!” Janice also knelt in front of her, and begged. “Jessica is young, and you have a daughter too."Instead of feeling pity, Shaina felt even more angry with Janice. She is angry because she thought of the goodness of her daughter this time, but she
Arriana bit her index finger while watching her twin brother. She was hurt by the way he looked now. That he looked like he had lost his strength as he pressed his forehead against the wall. His hands were clenched and also hardly pressed on the wall. They were right next to him, especially their father. “Doc, what’s the problem, and she doesn’t want to wake up yet?” Shaina asked the doctor, crying. “I’m sorry, we’ve done everything, but it’s up to the patient when she wakes up. Her condition is stable, but she doesn’t want to wake up yet. Just talk to her, and she’ll hear you,” the doctor’s advice to the family. Travis quickly grabbed Adrian’s hand as he punched the wall again. His fist had been wounded, and the medicine had been applied on it just earlier. Sunshine was declared comatose, and his son couldn’t accept that. “That’s enough, remember that Zion needs a father.”Adrian was crying and shaking his head as he remained bent over. So painful! That he could not look at his wi
“Why do you want to switch schools?” Travis asked Arriana in surprise. She had done the first semester. And now, she wants to transfer to another university for the second semester. “I just don’t like the environment there. I don’t like my new classmates either. I want new friends.” Arriana smiled at her father, and clung to his arm like a child as they both sat. Travis sighed. It was really strange behavior— a woman but not afraid to live alone. And she also wants to move in with Trisha. “Are you hiding from something? Or someone?”Arriana’s eyes flashed suddenly. The father could not see her face because she was leaning on his shoulder. When her father finds out what she has done in the province, he will surely destroy the place that she was evacuated. No more thrill then. She didn’t want to force anyone, even if she was the one to blame for why something happened to her and Axel.‘Why on earth do you want to change schools and places of residence? You feel that man will find you
“Why are you looking for that girl? That’s what we wanted, right? That she would leave this town, so she wouldn’t trouble your brother!” Renalyn spoke angrily to the eldest son. “Mom, something happened to us, and she might get pregnant!” There was irritation in Axel’s voice. Joan breathed while covering her own mouth when she heard what Axel said. She slowly left where she was hiding before anyone saw her there. “What did you do, Arriana?” Joan preached to her friend in her mind. She quickly grabbed the cell phone from her pocket and called her friend. She wants to scold her for leaving a mess in the family they serve. But she was very disappointed because her number still could not be contacted.Joan shook her head. At first, she thought it was Aaron, whom she had an interest in. But when she saw the eldest son of the family, her interest suddenly changed. She thought at first that her friend was not serious. But because of what she heard earlier, Cupid’s arrow really hit her th
“Mr. Aragon, it’s nice to meet you!” greeted Dexter, who is the founder of such an agent agency. “Nice to meet you too!” Axel shook hands with the man. “I’m glad you chose our agency. One of our agents is perfect and vacant right now.” Dexter introduced Jay to Axel. Axel quickly shook hands with the man who was going to do the job. The folder containing the information was immediately given to him. Jay frowned slightly when he saw that the woman’s details were incomplete.“I’ll leave it up to you to find her. This is my calling card. Just let me know if you need anything else.” Jay accompanied the client to his feet and shook his hand. “Thank you, you can count on me doing everything to find her.” Axel also said goodbye to Dexter and decided to leave. He went straight to the office and took care of his business. A week passed and Jay’s work had results. “I didn’t discover his true personality, but I found out where she attends university now.”Axel immediately took the folder c
“Alexander, don’t compare that child to all the girls that you have made your toy. Because even if she’s just a maid’s daughter, I value them so much, and I consider them part of our family!”Alexander smiled after remembering what his grandmother told him. She still didn’t believe what he answered to her, but she still gave him the information he asked for.“Do you see something funny in my face?”Alexander blinked. He didn’t realize that he was stunned while staring at the girl’s face. He continued chewing before answering her. “Why are you so beautiful, baby?”“Alexander, how many times should I have to remind you not to call me baby because I’m older than you?” She complained angrily to the young man. “Alright, then let’s get into the point; say yes so you can be my girlfriend and I can be your boyfriend before I change our endearment.”“What? Are you insane? Are you courting me for you to say that to me?” She glared at him. So, this is how Alexander thought of them? Alexander s
Ava angrily hit the young man on the arm with her hand when she recognized him. If she only had a heart disease, she might have been attacked because of frightening her.“Ouch, baby!” Alexander caressed his arm even though it didn’t hurt.“Moron! Why do you have to drag me here without a word?” She glared at the young man. The Jew just grinned at her. It’s so good to smack his face. But she immediately reprimanded herself, and something else came to her mind.“When I say come with me here, will you come willingly?” Alexander’s asked at the girl philosophically.Ava glared at the young man. It is obvious what her answer will be to his question. Of course, it’s a no. What will be the reason for her to come here and to the private office that only the chairman uses? Even if it is said that the chairman is his father, it is still embarrassing.It was his first time to enter that room, and she couldn’t stop her own eyes from wandering to the beautiful staff inside the office. She looked at
Miranda was once again impressed with Alexander when he perfected the exam. He’s not just handsome, but he’s also smart. Brix is not lagging behind either, but he has five mistakes. And her? Here she is; her score hangs in the balance like the rest of her classmates. It doesn’t matter; the important thing is that she still has something to be proud of, and that is the beauty of her face and body.“Girl, are you serious about Alexander being your birthday escort?” Julie asked in a whisper.“Yes, it’s easy to change the invitation.” She smiled and knew that her mother would give her everything she wanted because she was her only daughter. Her brothers also love her and are ready to fight when she is hurt.“The question is, will he agree?” Julie asked her friend teasingly.Miranda glared at her friend; they had free time, so they had time to chat. They went to the canteen and looked for Alexander, but they couldn’t find him.“Ms. Ava, a present has arrived for you, and it’s at the facult
After entering the classroom, Ava immediately looked around. The first person she saw was Brix. He seems to be calm now and not drawing attention to her. Good thing then; maybe he realized it because she slapped him yesterday.The next thing he looked for was Alexander. She frowned when she saw that the young man’s seat was empty. She looked at the others there, and the young man might have just moved seats. But she was just disappointed, and he wasn’t there. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The class will start in just three minutes. She didn’t want to spoil her day so much, so she unfolded the papers and turned on the laptop.“Am I late?” Alexander asked from the doorway, gasping for air.Ava suppressed the smile that wanted to appear on her lips when she saw Alexander. His hair was messy, obviously not combed, but she would admit it that he was still handsome despite his messy look. He looks like a bad boy, but it fits on him. “Next time you will enter earlier,” she sai
It was late at night when the gathering ended. They also slept there in their grandfather’s mansion. This gathering of them rarely happens. He hung out for a while on the terrace facing the garden and thought.“Brother!”He turned to his cousin Terence. This is the eldest son of his aunt Trisha. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”“I just wanted to ask something.”Alexander stared at his cousin. He is only fifteen years old, and his sibling that is younger than him is older than Terence.“Brother, how old were you when you had sex with a girl?”Alexander seemed to choke on his own saliva and stared at his cousin. “Have you never had sex with a girl?”“Tsk, I’m not like you, who is a womanizer and a pervert.”Alexander grinned and placed his right palm on his cousin’s shoulder. Like him, Terence is also a big man. There’s no mistaking him as a teenager. “You want me to teach you how to please a woman?”“You think I can do it at this age?” Terence looked doubtful.“Of course! I was only fourte
The whole family is complete in Travis’ old mansion. His grandchildren are also complete because it’s their grandma’s birthday. There are guests, but only close friends and relatives. This is exactly how Shaina’s birthday is, and she hasn’t liked many people celebrating her birthdays ever since.“Grandma, happy birthday! I’m sorry I’m a little late.” Alexander kissed his grandmother’s forehead.Shaina smiled and hugged her grandson. “It’s fine, grandson, and I know you’re a young man now, so it’s normal that you’re doing something else.”Alexander grinned, and his grandmother really knew him.“But what I heard is that you have fenced a woman in at your university, so you entered there even though you didn’t have to?” Travis said, sitting in a wheelchair.Alexander scratched his neck and looked shyly at his grandfather. When it comes to women, his grandfather was strict, and for him, he became rebellious.“Is she the one who will make you wiser?” Travis asked.“I guess I got karma from
“Go away, and maybe someone else will see us.” She pushed the young man away.Alexander sighed as he watched the girl closely. “I will sleep in your place again later, and maybe that drug addict will try to harm you again tonight.”“No, you can’t!” She refused, shaking her head slowly, which darkened the aura of the young man’s face. “Look, maybe someone will recognize you and see you entering my apartment.” She explained to him so as not to get angry with her or misunderstand her refusal.“If I go to another university, will you not stop me from getting close to you?”She was once again confused about what to say to the young man. Because he’s naughty, and she knows that he’ll do what he thinks when she says yes.“But I don’t want to leave you here, especially with that idiot being around you.” Alexander regained his composure when he thought of Brix.She suppressed a smile when Alexander’s face revealed the problem he was thinking about. His forehead was still furrowed as he thought
Ava looked at the person who pulled her in shock, and it almost hugged her.“Are you okay?”She nodded absentmindedly in response to Alexander’s question. He spoke very gently, and it was as if she were an unbreakable crystal from the way he touched her. But when he faced Brix, he suddenly looked like a demon, ready to kill the person in front of him.“Asshole! You really want to get hurt?”Ava quickly grabbed the young man’s arm when he tried to attack Brix. “Please, don’t make a mess, or I might get suspended here!” She pleaded with the young man in a low voice.Brix laughed because Alexander couldn’t rush him. “What? Are you already under the skirt? Is that why she likes you more because she can fit you under her skirt?” He asked insultingly.Ava quickly let go of Alexander and angrily approached Brix. She couldn’t control herself anymore and slapped the man. “You’re not just rude; you have no respect for someone like me! Don’t bring your bad behavior to school because I’m not like
“Are you insulted?” Brix continues to tease Alexander. “Did you know that our dean is married?”Alexander clenched his fist, but he still approached the man with a smile. “It looks like you haven’t brushed your teeth since you got out of jail last night, and your mouth stinks, dude.”Suddenly, the smile on Brix’s lips was erased, and he gave Alexander an angry look. “You animal! So you are the one who sent the police to where I was staying last night?”Alexander grinned and put his hands in both pockets of his trousers. “I can do anything, so don’t try me. I can even take down your father if you fight against me!”Brix’s jaws are clenching even more with anger. His suspicion is clear now. However, he didn’t want to show Alexander that he felt worried because of his threat. Then he laughed because of the last thing he said. “You don’t seem to know my father, and you talk about him just like that?”Smiling, Alexander approached the man and slightly brought his head closer to him before
