The bar had shadowed corners and the smell of sex in the air—he watched.He watched the man at the bar; saw him leaning back, veiled eyes scanning the heaving late-night crowd. He stood in sinfully

In the Beginning The airport was as busy as usual, and a sweet female voice could be heard reporting the flight numbers over the broadcast.Upon the arrival of a flight from California to the Philippines, the passengers walked out of the arrival hall like a swarm of bees.A slim girl walked out of the corridor while dragging her luggage out. She was wearing a T-shirt, which had words printed on it, as well as a pair of dark blue pencil jeans. Her naturally wavy hair was also tied up into a ponytail.She had pale skin and was very tall and slender. Moreover, she had a pure and peaceful demeanor that made her stand out among the crowd.Once Mr. Ramil Oliveros, who came to welcome her at the airport, saw her, he immediately went forward to take the luggage from her. “Miss Arabella Rivera,” greeted Mr. Ramil.Arabella Rivera scanned her surroundings and realized that Mr. Ramil was the only one who had come to fetch her at the airport. She could not help but curl her lips up in ridicule.

After he hung up the call, Johnny Gravidez remained silent for a while before calling the office line, which was answered by his assistant. After the call was connected, he said, “Book a dinner appointment with President Garcia of Zenith Group.”Alfred replied, “Yes, President Gravidez.”The President’s office was located on the 28th floor. Standing in front of the curtained window, Johnny was wearing a white blouse and had his sleeves folded up, showing off his muscular arms.He clearly remembered that evening when Arabella left three years ago. She destroyed all of their photos and threw away everything that was related to him. Her determined tone of voice was filled with hatred.“Johnny Gravidez, let’s hope that we will never meet again in this life.”He closed his eyes and gently mumbled, “Arabella…”Arabella sat in the backseat with her eyes closed. It was not until Mr. Ramil had told her that they had arrived that she opened her eyes.Mr. Ramil got down from the car and opened t

This was the first time she’d met eyes with him in three years, but she quickly shifted her gaze from him.Her eyes still looked as dark and clear as ever. However, he could no longer see the love in her eyes. What was left was just indifference and calmness.His heart suddenly felt very empty, and his gaze also darkened.“Arabella, Mom and Dad went to Auckland to fetch Grandpa, so there isn’t anyone at home right now. How about you stay here for the time being?” Arabella had the presence of a big sister and was always thinking about her well-being. “At least I can take care of you here. Besides, you have been through too much overseas.”She clearly knew that Arabella and John had a past together, and yet, she still wanted to take her in. If it weren’t because Arabella had always loved and protected her, Arabella would have suspected that she was trying to humiliate her.Although Serenity had a good reputation among the rich as she had outstanding looks and a generous and gentle perso

She walked towards Serenity and looked at the child in her embrace.Eva Grant’s skin was snowy white and tender like a doll’s. Her pinkish cheeks were chubby, and her black eyes were round. She looked very cute.The mist under her eyes gradually disappeared as she reached out and touched the child’s cheeks. It was smooth like an egg with the shell removed, and so chubby.This was his daughter, Eva Grant.By giving his child the name Eva Grant, did it mean that Serenity and the child were his one and only?John suddenly spoke. “The name is not derived from ever. We just thought it’d be a pretty nickname for Evangeline.”She froze and bitterly smiled. Regardless of which name it was, it could not change the current outcome.He had a wife and a child whose name was Eva Grant. This replaced the daughter they had once imagined together.Arabella realized that Serenity was not herself, yet she could not be bothered with her as she said in a frantic tone, “John, Eva is having a stomachache.”

The moment she opened the private room door, someone also came out of the opposite room. Their eyes met and they were slightly stunned. Out of politeness, she was about to greet him. The words “President Garcia” almost left her mouth, but she stopped.Daniel glanced at her coldly and walked past her like she was a stranger without even pausing.Watching his tall and upright figure, she rubbed her nose. As he was walking towards the bathroom, she decided not to head in that direction.She walked along the corridor and played with her phone in a safe corner. Seeing as quite some time had passed, she put away her cell phone and walked back towards the private room.Just as she was about to reach it, she saw John leaning against the wall in the corridor.He was wearing a V-neck t-shirt and casual brown pants today.Just as it had always been, he wore simple clothes and yet always managed to look good.There was a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke around it and the faint light refle

John Grant stared at her and seemed to have something to say as his lips moved, but he did not make a sound in the end. Her eyes glanced past him while she walked out of the living room with light steps. Her high heels made gentle sounds with the floor.After she got in the car, Mr. Geoffrey asked her for the location she was heading to, and she told him the name of a shopping mall near the hotel.After they had reached the shopping mall, she opened the door to alight from the car. Before she closed the door, she said, “Geoffrey, you can go back first. It might take a long time.”“It’s okay, I can wait for you in the car.” Mr. Geoffrey expressed that he was very patient.Mr. Geoffrey’s dedication to his work made her feel troubled. After all, she could not possibly strut into the hotel with him watching her, right?She contemplated for a while and could only enter the shopping mall. She asked the receptionist for directions to the backdoor, and after she went out of the shopping mall,

THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 178 He Doesn’t Want to See Me
Arabella put her cutlery down too and indifferently said, “He just doesn’t want to see me. So no matter how much you cook, you won’t persuade him otherwise.”‘Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to see me? Why did you come back then?’She remembered every single word he said yesterday which lingered like thorns in her heart.Daniel’s expression turned colder when he heard her words. He walked away to pick up the car keys on the coffee table and grabbed his coat at the entrance.He must have used too much force because the hanger shook twice and almost fell to the ground.Daniel walked out and not long after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.Mrs. Winstead walked to the living room and saw Daniel driving away. She returned to the dining room with a gloomy expression. “Young Madam…”After Daniel left, Arabella lost her appetite so she stood up and walked towards the stairs.Mrs. Winstead looked on and sighed heavily. When Young Master had not been coming back over the past fe

He got up and walked towards the stairs. She followed closely behind him and the two headed up to the second floor one after another. When they reached the bedroom door, Daniel did not stop, continuing to walk towards the study room.Arabella grabbed his sleeve again and Daniel stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at her expressionlessly.“What are you angry about?” She looked up and met his dark eyes.He looked back at her innocent eyes and the words that he wanted to ask became stuck in his throat. “Nothing,” said he calmly.“How can it be ‘nothing’? You haven’t been home for half a month.” Afraid he would shake her off, she tightened her grip on his sleeve which started to wrinkle.“It was a business trip,” said he curtly.“What about before the business trip? Furthermore, Caleb told me that it has been a few days since you returned from your business trip.”Well, the part about Caleb telling her so was a lie. But she felt no guilt implicating Daniel’s assistant since Ca
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 176 The Young Madam Hasn’t Come Home Yet
Arabella had been waiting in the parking lot of Zephyr Group since 4 p.m.Afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues, she chose to hide in an inconspicuous corner while keeping her eyes on Daniel’s car.One hour, two hours, three hours passed, but Daniel still did not appear.The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the parking lot were a little dim, making the place gloomy and cold.She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and crouched as if to curl herself into a ball. Since she stayed in that position for quite some time, her legs started to feel a little numb. She decided to stand and walk a few steps to return blood flow to her legs. After stretching for a while, she resumed her crouched position.With the night approaching, the cold in the dim parking lot grew heavier – Arabella started to shiver. She wanted to go home in a huff, but she was also unwilling to do so without having confronted Daniel.What right did he have to treat her like this?Even if he was angry,
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 175 He’s Still Thinking About You
When it was the day of the pregnancy checkup, Daniel had not returned from the business trip. She was already expecting to go to the hospital alone only to find someone else in the living room when she came downstairs.“Why are you here?” She looked at Francesca in surprise.“Young Madam, President Garcia asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” said Francesca gently.It seemed that he still remembered the date. Arabella nodded. “Let’s go.”Mrs. Winstead noticed how thin the clothes Arabella was wearing so the former handed the latter a red coat on the hanger at the entrance.How could Arabella refuse Mrs. Winstead’s kind intentions? The former took off her jacket and put on the coat. Then, Arabella grabbed her bag and left the living room with Francesca following behind her.Because Francesca had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to the hospital for the checkup. After a series of examinations, the doctor said, “The child is very healthy. It’s just that you must ha

The phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was her calling. He threw the phone on the seat next to him. After a few seconds, the phone stopped ringing.He took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth. His phone rang again. He took a glimpse at it from the corner of his eye and saw that it was still from her.He let it ring and took out a lighter to light the cigarette. He rolled down the window and blew out smoke rings that were carried away by the night wind.When it rang for the third time, he pressed the reject button in frustration and turned off his phone. The night was quiet again.Arabella paced around the room in her pajamas, holding her phone in her hand. She had called Daniel many times, but his phone was eventually switched off.It was already two o’clock in the morning but she was also hesitant to call Caleb since it was too late in the night.She walked to the bed and sat waiting. Her phone was always in her hand, ready to pick up a call the moment it
THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON Chapter 173 She Had Fallen In Love With John
Master Samson took a single look at her before turning the other way, turning a deaf ear to her words.The pale yellow liquid in the medicine bag flowed down the white tube drop by drop into his bloodstream through the needle on the back of his hand.Arabella didn’t care about Master Samson’s attitude as she silently retreated to the side and stood there. Helena Turner patted her hand lightly, indicating to the former not to take it to heart.The attending doctor listened to Master Samson’s heartbeat with a stethoscope and wrote down a string of numbers in a folder. Then, Benjamin Rivera followed him out of the ward.Master Samson looked at Serenity who was sitting by the bed and holding his hand. “For the sake of your future with Eva, you should remarry John.”The old man had been trying to get Serenity and John back together after returning from Oakland, but his granddaughter had been avoiding him. Because of this, Master Samson had gotten so angry that he was hospitalized.“We won’

While Arabella was stunned for a moment, John took the tissue from her and carefully wiped the water off her sleeves. Then, he pulled out a small part of her inner sleeve over the sleeves of her windbreaker a little so that the wet parts would not stick to her skin.“Are you feeling better?” His clear voice was low and gentle.She pulled her hand back, still feeling the warmth of his fingertips on the skin of her wrist. “Much better.” After a pause, she said, “Thank you, President Grant.”The immediate distance she put between them simply from her words felt as if she had just stabbed John. He pursed his pale lips and difficultly said, “Arabella, we shouldn’t be like this.”“From the moment you decided to marry my Sis, we were already destined to end up like this.” She was unfazed.John held her shoulders and seriously said, “But you know-”“That won’t change the truth!” She interrupted him, though rather calmly which scared John a little.He could see the prideful stubbornness in her

She took a sip from the glass of water. Since they were already married, there would always be a chance for her to meet the aunt in the future.Still, since she was angry at him for acting on his own and Daniel was not someone who would admit his mistake or apologize first, the couple did not speak to each other for the rest of the day – they simply minded their own business and nonchalantly ignored each other.Daniel rested at home for a week before going back to work. Once he did, only Arabella and Mrs. Winstead were left at home.XXXOne day after lunch, Arabella drove to the cafe at which she had agreed to meet Sam.It had been a week since they last met and Sam seemed to have become a lot more dispirited. But when he saw her, his usual cheeky smile returned. “A rich lady is indeed different. I would never dare dream of driving a car like this in my entire life.”Indeed, Arabella was driving a luxury car worth millions. He hadn’t even saved enough money to wed a wife yet. Such was
