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
Other people betrayed their masters, and as long as they did not betray Vaquesha, they received their rewards as well. Peter, Miguel’s secretary and the man he trusted the most, was one of those people.When Miguel retired, Peter followed suit and retreated into solitude, spending the money he received and being surrounded by his loved ones.Something he could not have done if he had kept working for Miguel when he was dying.Miguel, who was only concerned with his work, had no idea that Peter, the man who served him 24 hours a day, was dying, and it was Miguel’s callous attitude that drove Peter to betray him and begin working with Vaquesha, who promised him a longer life.Everyone is greedy, and Miguel is the most aware of this.Vaquesha appeared in front of Arnold a few years ago and warmed him up, imprinting herself on him so that he would never forget him.This was done so that she might use Lucilla or Arnold as a cover in the future. Being a white moonlight can be useful at time
She, on the other hand, was not going to allow this shift to derail her plans. And, having transformed into what she had become, she began calling herself Vaquesha, a name she discovered among the ancient texts she read to improve her talents and herself.She fell in love with the name the moment she saw it, and she felt it now suited her better than any other name.And because she was living alone, she did not care about names, and her harsh parents never gave her one either.Vaquesha did not have a name until she was fourteen years old, and suddenly having a name made her feel like she belonged, which was a wonderful sensation.Vaquesha realized she needed money, connections, and power to exact her retribution. And she had the funds, but she was too young and needed help with this.And this is how she got the idea to build her own organization, which she did when she founded The Prime Order, a secret organization that took over the world in both legal and unlawful methods.And when
She was just eight years old when her godmother and abusive parents died.She had always despised her parents so much that she did not wish them good. Despite her hatred for those people, she never considered killing or harming them.Even though they beat her, abused her, refused to feed her when she was hungry, and forced her to work all the time, she yearned for them to love her, look at her affectionately, and hug her.She was not a fool, despite her lack of socialization as a child. She could tell what should and should not be done.She simply wanted them to adore her, but they never offered her the opportunity.She ran away from home hoping for a brighter future, and that future was something her godmother could provide for her.She did not know how her godmother and parents met, but she was glad they did because she got to meet someone who made her feel that living was better than dying.Unfortunately, the day she thought she would be saved turned out to be her apocalypse.To sa
‘What is she up to? Is she still alive and well? Do I deserve all this?’These questions have stayed with him since that night.He feels like a coward whenever he remembers how sad and heartbroken, she looked and sounded that night.He had always taken pride in being a strong man and a hero. He saw himself as a man who could do anything he set his mind to.And yet, in only one month, he was rendered useless and helpless, all at the hands of people he knew nothing about.Miguel had always known he was selfish, and he did not care about others as long as it benefited him.He did not expressly commit murder or other horrific crimes to get to where he was, and he was not a saint, either.This is why, when he cheated on his wife and neglected her feelings for him during their marriage, it never disturbed him.But everything changed the night he saw her for the last time. She had made so many sacrifices for him and his family, and yet he just let her go without fighting for her.He recalls
Did she come to regret it? Yes, she is sorry, and it hurts like hell.She felt as if she were being punished for all of the wrongdoings and crimes she committed throughout her life.She attempted to forget the vision every single second after seeing it, but she failed horribly.Even the way she looked at her spouse had changed. How could she bear looking at him with the same affection she had before?Felicia had never been concerned by the fact that he had just returned from one of his mistresses. She would continue to appear personal and virtuous since she was convinced that one day, she would be free of them all.Even after discovering that Avita had cheated on her husband behind her back, she felt sorry for her.However, her attitude toward her husband was about to alter. She was never going to trust him again, but her attitude changed as Avita transformed into someone she had never expected.That is when her horror began.Felicia felt as if she were a joke. To think that the woman
She felt like a joke when she awoke and saw she was still alive. She had no idea how it had gotten to this point.She was born and raised proudly, and yet she found herself in such a terrible position that she just wanted to die.After surviving this ordeal, Lucilla could not help but chastise herself for being selfish, foolish, and, above all, a poor judge of character.Everything began when she set her sights on Takunda, a man she met when she brought Avita to check on her house in the Twin Towers.Takunda was someone she had fallen in love with at first sight. She took it upon herself to discover everything she could about him, and she was certainly impressed.One thing she liked about him was how honest he was at times, and how he made it clear that he was not interested in her, which stung at the moment but she learned to take it quietly.After all, there was no criminal in secretly loving someone even if the sentiments were not reciprocated.Everything should have been perfect,
Vaquesha shook her head as she stared at Miguel, who had fury in his eyes.She had done what she needed to do in the first place, and now that everything was finished, it was time to put everything in order.“I will not be able to see you again, so do not look for me. They also informed me that I should stop seeking them since I would never find them again. They are always watching, and if you continue to pry into their affairs, they will not spare you.”“They said you should be content with what you have or they will take it away from you. So please, please, please let everything go. And forget about me,” she said solemnly.Miguel should quit probing around now that she no longer wants anything to do with Felicia and her family.The longer he goes on, the more he suffers, and the more she remembers rolling in the blankets with her stepfather.It just creeped her out, which was one of the main reasons she did not want to see Miguel again. But she met with him for Felicia’s sake, and i
Felicia was at home, listening to her children tell her about all that had happened while she was away.Fortunately for her, Miguel had informed them that she was on a business trip.They were not very concerned because it was something she would have done before.She was also at home, waiting for her husband and keeping an eye on some questionable servants at the mansion.While she was doing this, she received a message, and her heart sank. Messages had been her terror when the threatening messages began to flood her phone.And after she was released, she was terrified that something bad would happen again, but she still needed to know what was going on, so she opened the message hesitantly, and she quickly regretted it.[I promised you a goodbye gift. One that would make you remember me even after you died and became a ghost. Leave your children alone and go somewhere private to click on the link. If you don’t, I will find out and the repercussions will be severe. I might as well ju
The second Avita vanished without a trace, Miguel realized she was not as naïve as he imagined after she turned into a ghost overnight.She, on the other hand, was not the type to cause him harm. He was certain of it; otherwise, she would have revealed their relationship to his family, and he would be unable to stop it.Another plausible interpretation of this hypothetical narrative was that Avita was threatened by some forces, which explains why she fled without a trace.And now that she was there in front of him with someone, she must have made some type of agreement, and this could be the last time he sees her.Regardless of whether his thoughts were reasonable or not, he still wanted to see her and, at the very least, hear from her why they were in this position.He stood there waiting for her to arrive, which she did after a few minutes of walking.Avita appeared wearing black trousers and a sweatshirt because winter was nearing an end and it was late at night. Her head was cover
