“Miguel, who is she for you to act like this? Is she truly that essential to you that you treat me this way?” Her heart wrenched as she asked this question.He was in turmoil as well, looking at her in astonishment at what he said. He had no idea why he had just spoken about what he had just said.His statements sounded a little too strong, given that he was telling this to his wife of nearly two decades.And, based on how his comments came out, it appeared as if he actually has someone important outside whom he loves and wishes to protect.But how could he tell her that the words had just slipped out of his mouth without him realizing it?He was still a guy, and he felt proud of himself. He couldn’t take the words back because they had already been spoken.“Whatever thoughts you have right now, keep them to yourself. If you want my assistance, take the bargain or leave it!” he said flatly, leaving no space for debate.Felicia gritted her teeth with contempt as she again recalled the
THIRTY MINUTES AGO“Big brother, hehe! Do you like your big sister Avita?" A small voice asked, drawing the attention of the others in the room to the individual being questioned.His half-brother’s direct query took aback Arnold, who had arrived five minutes earlier and was frustrated due to his thoughts.Felix’s question caught him off guard, but as an adult, he knew how to adjust.So, with a calm expression, he confessed his sentiments to his half-siblings, who understood the love of his life far better than he did, “Yes, I do. Would you like to help your big brother?”Felix smiled as he heard this. He loved Avita since she was such a nice person.If he had been a little older, he would have pursued her personally rather than pushing her toward others. He realized, however, that he would never get a shot with her because she just sees him as a younger brother.Millicent and Faith were pleased when Arnold confessed. Avita was liked by everyone in the household, including the servant
Vaquesha’s curiosity was heightened when she noticed Arnold, who was sitting one second and abruptly on his feet the next.He came closer to her, kneeling on one knee on the fluffy carpet, and she watched him without moving.Vaquesha remained silent as Arnold held her small hand in his and looked at her warmly.Vaquesha felt guilty and pity for him throughout the night after seeing him that way. After all, despite her influence, the young man was head over heels in love with her.She’d seen this type of gaze before. Patrick, who, at the time, genuinely loved her as Avita and pursued her until she intervened and let Patrick be enticed by others.The other person was Viktor, the man she had loved for nearly nine years as her true self, Vaquesha.Arnold had been added to the mix, but unfortunately for him, she couldn’t be with him. Her primary goal at the time was to enrage Miguel and drive him insane.At the same time, she will dispel Arnold’s beliefs that everything should go as planne
‘I shouldn’t overthink things. She will never be able to do that to me.’‘Why would he be upset with his son? And what was he doing there, to begin with?’She had so many questions that needed to be answered, but she realized that she wouldn’t know what happened till she saw the person in question.Even though her emotions were telling her otherwise, she didn’t want to guess or overthink things.And the only way to avoid all of this was to see with her own eyes, listen to Avita, and hear what truly happened before passing judgment.It didn’t take long for them to reach the second floor when they used an elevator.Felicia escorted her children to the guestroom where Avita was currently residing, her heart broken.Despite being the mother of the home, she recognized proper etiquette, so she knocked rather than barge in.“Tap, tap, tap,” she knocked three times on the door, but there was no response.Because of the mansion’s superior soundproofing system, it was difficult for people to h
Inside Miguel’s study.Arnold stood directly in front of his father; his eyes filled with an unmistakable hostility that surprised Miguel the moment his brain cleared.Miguel lost it when he overheard his son admitting to his sweetheart, who was inappropriately dressed, especially in the company of a guy, although her attire was appropriate, especially at night.And his rage was fueled by what he saw and heard, as well as the message he had gotten earlier.“When are you going to stop staring at me like that?” Miguel sarcastically questioned his kid.Arnold felt like punching his father after witnessing what had transpired on a man-to-man basis.He never dated, but that didn’t mean he was a moron when it came to issues of the heart.What he witnessed today was not an angry elder concerned for a young woman’s reputation, but a man’s rage directed at another man because of a woman.His father was envious, and he didn’t need to inquire about his feelings for Avita. He had hidden them so p
TITLE AT THE END OF THE CHAPTERThe atmosphere at the mansion seemed strange the next morning. Even the servants sensed it.As a result, all the servants did everything they could to avoid crossing their bosses.Miguel departed the mansion early in the morning without eating breakfast, feeling grumpy and irritated at everyone in particular.So, by the time the kids awoke and went to school, their father had left.They wanted to check on Avita, but the other refused to open the door, so they didn’t see her.Felicia, on the other hand, wasn’t in the mood to visit Avita because everything about her reminded her of her worries, and with another message she received yesterday while lying in bed, she didn’t have time to babysit anyone.Because of what transpired the night before, all of Larson’s family members left their mansion, leaving only one guest at the mansion.Vaquesha, who was already dressed, smiled as she read the message on her phone, knowing that everyone had departed.[Breakfa
“Baam.”“Damn! I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it. What the f*** is happening right now?” When he remembered his talk with his father the night before, he couldn’t help but curse.The male P.A., who knew nothing about what was going on with his employer, stood paralyzed in the office as he saw his boss go insane.He would have given counsel if he had known what was going on, but his employer was keeping quiet about his personal affairs, so he was in the dark.Arnold had not been feeling well since his father walked on him and Avita. The fact that Miguel had to watch his failed confession and openly admits to being interested in the same woman as him irritated him.It enraged him to the point where he stormed out of the mansion.Even now, he couldn’t figure out why things had to be this way.“Ding, ding,” a message tone abruptly rang, alerting him to an incoming text message.He scowled as he looked at the phone on the desk for a moment, but when he saw that it was important,
Being overly trusting and uneducated can sometimes result in a life being snatched without any effort.This is what she discovered after being imprisoned in a small room with only a mattress and a thin blanket. There was no window or air vents to let light in.The sole source of light was a flickering lamp, which gave the tiny room a ghostly appearance.Felicia had no idea she’d be in such a dangerous predicament just a few hours before.She had never been kidnapped or molested since she married Miguel. She was threatened and blackmailed, but the perpetrators were always apprehended.Because Miguel had dealt with people like these before, thanks to the kidnapping attempt on Arnold and Lucilla, her children had never experienced anything like this before.Felicia had been married to Miguel for over eighteen years and she had never been kidnapped before and this was a first.And what stung the most was that the individuals she had known for years, those who had worked for her and guarde
