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
Back at the Larson mansion, Vaquesha sat in the guest bedroom, her face expressionless, thinking about something.Her feelings were more confused as a result of a movie she had seen earlier.She intended to cause trouble for the family, but when she thought about it, everyone but Felicia had done nothing wrong to her.She wanted to cause so much pain and anguish, yet all she did was implicate innocent people.And by doing so, she was simply being selfish, and to be honest, it goes against some of her ideals.And if she looked deeper into her heart, she would see that she was merely delaying and wasting time, which was not good.She’d been working on her mission for over a decade, and now that she was almost there, it was time to finish it.These thoughts had been running through her mind for hours, and when she checked the time, she realized it was roughly three o’clock in the afternoon.Felicia was already imprisoned at that secret place, and Lucilla was in the hospital, which she ha
“Big sis, where are you?” As she knocked on the door, Faith cried out.Millicent left the second floor in search of the butler after hearing no response.Because the butler was present, he would know whether someone was present.It didn’t take her long to find the butler in the kitchen, giving the chef some directions.When Butler John noticed Millicent, he instantly stopped what he was doing and walked respectfully towards the adolescent, asking politely, “How can I be of service, young miss?”“Grandpa, have you seen Avita today?” she questioned the butler, rubbing her chin.The butler’s eyes were emotionless as he said frankly, “yes, she was here from morning until afternoon.”“Then, where is she?”“She said that she was returning but did not say anything else.”“Boom!” an explosion rang out in her head as she stared in disbelief at the butler.Her eyes opened entirely, unable to believe what she had just heard; “she did what?” she exclaimed, her eyes imploring the elderly man that
He was already old, and if circumstances allow, he may soon have grandkids. He only wanted peace in his family, and perhaps getting rid of all the lovers he had kept by his side would do the trick.After thinking things through, he checked his text messages inside the toilet, hoping for a message from the blackmailer and at the very least to see whether his wife was still alive, doing better, or if there were any demands.However, he did not see any messages that he desired, but rather a disturbing message that he had never anticipated seeing.[01****25: Let’s break up.]Despite the fact that the message only included a number and no name, he knew this number by memory, and seeing it on his phone dampened his smile.When he saw it, his first thought was, ‘How did she get my private number?’The fact that they were breaking up didn’t surprise him as much as her knowing his phone number.He wouldn’t just guess, though; he’d call to get the answer straight from the horse’s mouth.So, he
On second thinking, he didn’t want to be involved with her either. Will he have to live in terror of his father seducing his woman if he dates her and brings her home?Arnold didn’t want to risk it because he didn’t trust Avita or anything, but because he was aware of the potential consequences.‘I am still young, and I can find someone who loves and cares for me. Someone like Felicia will do,’ he conceded as he threw Avita out of his father’s arms.Miguel chuckled fiercely as he glanced at the empty wardrobe in Thandani. There was not a single trace of Avita anywhere in the house.Even the chickens had gone missing, which was really upsetting. The residence appeared spotless, with no evidence of a break-in or forced entrance.He surveyed the room till he removed the cushions, just to see what would happen. A folded letter was found under one of the pillows.He picked it up with mixed emotions.With so much transpiring on this day, he was concerned that she might have met the same fat
