Relief swept through Donovan when he saw Marco, at least he’s not dead. He didn’t bother calling him again after many failed attempts to reach him, which is why he has no other option than to come meet him himself. After all, they had a lot to talk about but from the look of things, it’s obvious that Marco doesn’t want to see him. This wasn’t the moment he went all bossy on him. This man was the only closest person to whom he called a friend , apart from his younger brother. He has always done everything he has ordered him to do without questioning him about that, he respected him for that and also for putting up with his bitter character where others failed to warm up to him, even from when he was at a young age he has only been the one and loyal friend he has. “How’s your shoulder?” He asked, ignoring his stupid statement asking him about why he’s here when he already knows the answer to that. Marco scoffed at his fake concern for him. It was at this moment that everything his fat
“As you all know that tonight is going to be a busy night. I will advise you all to be on your best behavior and avoid making mistakes you all might take your life. Trust me, you don’t want to get on the bad side of the big bosses.” Lucy advised the maids as they were all lined up. It was the very first time more of them were getting to see the full family assembly here, and Lucy was given the order to make sure that things were in order among the maids that were working for Donovan. The maids that were being sent from the family house has all left after helping out in the morning, giving room for the others that were stationed here. Everyone was ecstatic to finally see the big bosses, the one who calls the shots. Whereas, the few others who are familiar with this didn't act like there was anything much about the whole familiar meeting up. But it wasn’t the same for Lucy, she was more excited than anyone that one might mistake this night to be her engagement party. For someone who
He didn't want to be back here, at least for the moment but in order to have one last dinner appointment with the whole family before Daisy leaves, had him here in the exact place where he said that he won’t be coming until he’s sorted himself out.Everyone was seated around the dining table, thankfully Marco and his father were present too so he wasn’t bothered to be the only person to entertain his family. Although, Marco’s father was glaring at him which he understood the reason for that, but he wasn’t bothered about him.If anything, anyone bearing grudges against him right now, was wasting his energy since the only person that he knew that he offended, who was on his mind all day is her, Valerie. Yet, he didn’t see her yet, she was not among the maids that was attending to his parents.“Is everything alright, son?” Salvatore asked Donovan, breaking him from his line of thoughts as he looked at his grandfather and forced a smile on his face, as to not alert him that he was being b
“You need to calm down first, Scott. Our daughter isn’t a child anymore.” Mrs Harris said trying to calm her angry husband, who was threatening to bring down this house down in rage over Jolene’s nonchalant behavior since yesterday.Apparently, he had arrived home last night with the plan to break the news of him being transferred to the city to his family, but Jolene wasn’t back home yet from work and it made him worried that she was taking such late night shifts.Even when he called her that night and offered her a ride back home, she declined his help and he understood what she was trying to do. She didn't want to live in fear anymore after the stalking incident, yet it was only him who knew how serious things were and had kept both her and her mother in the dark but that’s because of their safety.Jolene doesn’t know who these people are, and neither could he explain too since he hasn’t had a one on one experience with them. Vanessa has only been the person, who has given him a he
Marco knew that this was bound to happen. Here he was, kneeling down with his head bowed down in fear of his own life in front of Salvatore Castillio, Donovan’s grandfather.He should have known that the old man won't allow what happened a few moments to skip pass him, without trying to know what the hassle is all about. He shouldn’t be the one to explain to the Big Boss, that his grandson was harboring an enemy’s sister/nephew in his house.Salvatore Castillo is smart unlike his son, Angelo, who seemed to be so will drawn in whatever that had to do with Ares lately. Maybe it has to do with the fact that his wife Nora is pregnant, again.He looked up to see that the old man was still on his phone. He had been on call with the president of the United States of America for an hour straight. Leaving him here with his thoughts and option to lie to him and give Donovan the chance to tell him everything.But he will rather get on Donovan’s bad side that to actually incur the wrath of Salvat
Preview on ‘The Billionaire’s Dark Entrapment’ Manhattan, New York City. 10:pm. In the late night of midsummer, through the dark woods that surrounded the area. A petite young lady hurried through the dark, perilous woods, tears streaming down her face. With a terrified expression marked by bruises and cuts, blood oozing from a wound at the side of her face, she glanced down at her torn, thorn-adorned clothes. She seemed indifferent to her disheveled appearance, as if she was running away from a wild animal. One wouldn't think twice without figuring out that it's unusual for one to be found mountain hiking so late at night, especially in these dangerous woods. In haste to get to the road, to get help from whoever it was or whatever that was chasing after her. She froze down at the sound of a gunshot, stifling a whimper of fear with her hands. "Don't be foolish, Valerie. You know the rules. I won't hurt you if you cooperate and be a good girl, but perhaps you enjoy punishments
After a strenuous day at work, Valerie Blackfield opened the door to her scrappy-looking apartment that could barely fit two adults in, to see her twin sister, going through her things hastily.That was when her eyes scanned all over the room, to see that it was turned upside down. Her clothes littered everywhere, books? Everything was disarranged from its normal arrangement, as if a burglar came into her home, but this was no burglar's fault. It was Vanessa's."Vanessa!" She called, a smile rested upon her face seeing her older sister who was there. Despite the fact that she didn't know why her room was in this way, she had missed her twin sister who had barely been able to keep in contact with her these past months.As orphans abandoned to carter for themselves since they were fifteen. Valerie had grown used to her sister, they did everything together until life happened and Vanessa had to choose her path to follow, which was working for some organization that she had no idea about
