Rhiannon was shocked to hear the words that came from the man's mouth.

"What makes you think that I would get married? To you especially?" she asked as she tried her best to stay calm.

Amused by her cute angry face, the man said with a wicked smile on his face," Why won't you? Aren't I your greatest benefactor? I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would have been dead by now."

"Yes, you are but I will pay you instead. How can I get married to a stranger just because he saved my life?" she asked since to her the man was not been reasonable.

"I saved your life, can't that be enough reason to want you to also save my life?"

"But you aren't dying, are you?" she asked curiously since she could tell that the man was so fit and couldn't be suffering from any terminal disease.

"How would you know if you won't accept my offer?" he asked as he wondered why the woman was still refusing his offer.

He looked at himself through his phone's screen wondering whether he wasn't good-looking anymore. Even if his asking her to marry him was just a joke, he thought that any woman would have thrived to hear such a proposal from him since he neither lacked the physical appearance nor money. Seeing the woman still refusing, something ignited in him making him doubt himself and want to do anything to tie the woman with him since he could tell that she wasn't materialistic even if she just lost everything she had. No one would understand the power struggle between people in rich families more than him.

"My answer is still no," she answered firmly, making the atmosphere between them become suddenly cold.

They stared at each other's eyes as if they were competing who would be able to maintain the stare even after a while longer.

"Why?" he asked in a whisper and even though Rhiannon was far, she still heard him as the room was so silent and they were the only ones present.

"Cause I don't even know you. What if you have bad intentions?" she asked him.

The world had just taught her a lesson and there was no way she was going to make the same mistake twice. Falling in love was currently out of the question to her. All she wanted was to make those who tried to kill her face the music.

"I have no bad intentions. Do you think that if I wanted to hurt or kill you, I would have saved you yesterday?" he asked her. 

"Who knows? Maybe you were watching me from a distance as you waited for me to approach you so that you would have the best opportunities to harm me," she said coldly since to her nothing is impossible and people weren't trustworthy.

He looked at her in disbelief and his face turned into seriousness since he couldn't blame her. Anyone would be like her after facing whatever she just faced.

"Do you think I am that stupid? Following you? Where would I get that time? And if I was. They had locked you in the house and set it on fire, if I wanted to harm you, I would have done everything possible to avoid you from running away if I was observing you," he said angrily cause the woman was getting on his words.

Hearing his explanations, Rhiannon had to admit that what he said was true but that did not mean that she was still convinced that they should get married.

"Can't you just say yes? Did you say that you will do anything I ask for just to repay the kindness?" he asked as he stared at her.

"I don't even know your name. How can I say yes to your request?" she asked but inside, she was trembling cause she knew that the man had a point. If I don't repay the kindness then what will happen if one day I am in danger and he is the only one present to help me? Will he help me? Even she could never help such a person who never returns kindness and keeps her promises.

"Have you ever heard of something called, marriage first, love later?" he asked with no emotion since he felt that if he fell in love with the woman, he might be crazy. He didn't even have time for relationships since he was always busy.

"Why are you asking for this in return? It's a very difficult thing to do, why can't you ask for any other thing apart from that?" she asked curiously.

"Cause I need a wife," he said with no room for negotiation.

Gritting her teeth, she asked angrily, " Do I have another choice?"

"No," he said coldly. There was no way that he was going to let her go when he needed a wife urgently.

"Fine," she said as she turned around.

"Good, first get rest so that you may recover then we will go to the courthouse tomorrow and you will bring all your documents," he said as he closed his laptop and later put it in a bag that was beside him.

"Uhm, about that, can you please arrange a new phone for me? I will pay you back. I just need to call back home to get my stuff," she explained since she didn't want to be misunderstood.

"My secretary will bring it later. I will be leaving for now I will be back to check on you as I will you some dinner," he said softly.

"Okay," she replied immediately since she couldn't wait for him to leave her alone.

"And don't think of running away as you will regret it if you do," he said in a serious tone as his eyes were looking at her coldly.

Rolling her eyes, she couldn't believe the man but she couldn't deny the fact that that thought had appeared in her mind. After all, who ever wants to get married to a total stranger? Not knowing his family, occupation, however, or even a name?

"I heard you well, sir," she said sarcastically, making the man raise his eyebrows at her.

When the guy left, Rhiannon took the remote and started searching for favorable shows to watch as she waited for the phone. Getting bored of the shows since they weren't interesting to her, she soon fell asleep.

"Ma'am," she heard someone calling out and she forced herself to open her eyes.

"What?" she asked as she recognized the man as the person who had previously left with the doctor.

"This is for you. It is a new cellphone with a new line for now maybe you will replace your line when you get your ID later," he said as he handed her the branded white paper bag.

"Thank you but there is no need for that now. You may leave," she told him as she looked at the things which were bought for her.

Taking the phone and switching it on, she didn't install various apps first but dialed the number that she had memorized since she was a child.

After a couple of rings, the phone was picked up.

"Hello," a cracking voice said on the other side.

"It's me," she said.

    "Rhiannon, is that you?" the person from the other side said in disbelief."Nanny, it's me," Rhiannon said with a smile and her eyes were so calm."How, didn't you die in the fire?" Mary asked."I managed to escape," she said and her eyes turned cold making the atmosphere in the room so terrifying."How? How did you? The fire...." Mary wanted to ask but she couldn't finish her words because just the thought itself made her start crying again."They wanted to kill me. Don't tell anyone that I am alive yet," she said in a cold voice.On the other side, when Mary had a terrifying tone, she was shocked to the core. It reminded her of Rhiannon's mother when she was angry. Nonetheless, this was the first time she had the young lady talk in such a tone making her know that her young mistress was so mad this turn. She knew what kind of bloodline ran in Rhiannon's body and what they were capable of doing when they were mad. After all, she was still the one who had taken care of the young mistr

    "What are you waiting for? I don't have all the day to spend with you," Octavius said, making Rhiannon raise her head and look at him."Why are you waiting for me? Just go and do your work. I am going home," she said as she started walking."Are you sure? Do you want them to know that you are still alive?" he asked, making her stop then turned around."You! How do you know?" she asked as she thought she had hidden everything from everyone."What? Do you think that you have a secret?" he asked as he rolled his eyes. "Of course, I know my wife's name and I heard the news. It isn't so hard to put two and two together, is it?""Aaaargh, I think that you are so clever. Fine, take me to your house. We will buy a house later since we are married and we have to buy a new house to represent our new life," she said as Octavius looked at her.He didn't know how to explain what he felt but his heart warmed upon hearing her words. Although he was marrying her just to avoid being nagged by his gran

    "Look, everyone is staring at us. If you continue making a scene, aren't you afraid that there might be someone who knows you and will inform them that you are still alive?" he asked making her shut up.She glared at him before turning around.This action made the driver speechless as he had never seen his master tolerating anyone the way he had tolerated Rhiannon."Take us home," Octavius said coldly when he noticed the driver's eyes on Rhiannon.He didn't want anyone to look at his belongings. The mere thought of everyone witnessing how beautiful Rhiannon was made him angry but he knew better than talking about it.The drive was so quiet as none of them spoke to each other.From time to time, Octavius would look at Rhiannon to see what she was doing but he only ended up annoyed that she didn't care about him.He couldn't understand why he was feeling that way, he tried himself to seem as if he didn't care about her but he found his eyes shifting to her once more.The car got in the

    “Now that you know, do you want to divorce me?” Octaviu asked as he looked at the little girl in front of him.He had thought that she was mature enough when he first saw her ugly face which was full of heavy makeup and looked hilarious but now staring at her fair white face which seemed flawless, he knew that he was wrong.Not to mention her age which he saw when submitting their certificates in the registrar's office.Rhiannon looked at her with watery big eyes as she blinked innocently.“I have already married you or do you want me to become a divorcee at such a young age?” she asked in a soft tone making Octavious speechless while the driver was shocked by her boldness.“If Mrs Rodriguez wants to be a divorcee, I don’t think Mr Rodriguez can refuse,” Octavius answered making Rhiannon speechless.Why doesn’t he follow the rules? She wondered as she glared at him before averting her eyes.Octavius saw her behavior and didn’t say anything.To him, she was just his wife by name but he

    “Morning,” Rhiannon said when she saw Octavius seated in the living room.Octavius looked at his watch and then at her before nodding and continuing to work on the laptop.Rhiannon frowned when she saw his reaction. She wanted to complain but when she remembered that they weren’t familiar with each other although they were married, she closed her mouth and walked towards the kitchen.“Good morning Uncle Alfred,” she said when she saw the man.“Morning young mistress, kindly sit down and I will serve you with your breakfast in a few,” Alfred said as he looked at her.“No need. I can see that you are busy. I will make my breakfast,” Rhiannon said as she walked towards the coffee maker.“No. I am been paid to serve you and the young master thus please allow me to do my job,” he insisted.Hearing this, Rhiannon stopped what she was doing and looked at the man since his words reminded her of her nanny.“Okay. Please prepare a glass of passion juice and a chicken sandwich for me. I think the

    “Miss Clark, congratulations on becoming the president of our company,” One of the shareholders said with a smile as he looked at Kaylee.“What’s there to congratulate her? If it wasn’t for the fact that Rhiannon died, she would never have become the president. After all, she neither had enough shares nor is she talented at Rhiannon,” a woman said in a mocking tone.When everyone heard her, they remained silent, even the others who intended to congratulate Kaylee and form a good friendship with her to benefit when she took over.Kaylee’s eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at the woman when the room was filled with silence. She wondered why people were still talking about Rhiannon even after her death.“Sorry. I know that I am not as talented as my sister. I am looking forward to learning more from you so that we move to a higher level,” Kaylee said in a low yet pitiful tone.Many men and women admired her for her words and they didn’t compare her with Rhiannon.

    The more she walked at the front, Kaylee took steps backward.“Why was my dear sister running away when she saw me?” Rhiannon asked with a smile on her face but her eyes were cold.“You! Aren’t you dead?” Kaylee asked full of fear.“What? Does my sister want me dead so badly so that she can take away my shares and my fiancée?” Rhiannon asked her making the latter speechless.“Rhiannon, is that how you are talking to your younger sister?” her father rebuked her.Rhiannon’s eyes finally left Kaylee and looked at her beloved father.“Father, you guys couldn’t wait till you buried ‘me’ before you gave the company to Kaylee?” Rhiannon asked with a pained look on her face.“But aren’t you fine?” Her father retorted.“Well, how don’t you know that I am not a ghost?” Rhiannon asked causing Kaylee to scream.“So, you are dead and you still appear in front of me? Why do you hate me so much?” Kaylee asked in a loud voice making everyone present speechless at her foolishness.“Is it the person wh

    Rhiannon narrowed her eyes as she looked at the lawyer who lowered his head after he met her gaze out of fear and instinct to survive.“Is that so? Then why was Kaylee taking over the office?” Rhiannon asked in an innocent yet curious tone.“That’s her not you. Your mother is the one who put that rule there while Kaylee’s mother never did,” the lawyer answered immediately.“Well, thank you so reminding me that my mother only gave birth to me and that Kaylee isn’t my sister. I almost forgot since she has lived with us for many years,” Rhiannon said innocently but it was enough to make everyone apart from her family and the lawyer laugh.“Rhiannon!” her father shouted in anger as he tried to slap her.Rhiannon held his wrist on time managing g to escape the ruth and pain.“I am sorry but I can’t allow you to slap me in front of people! I am so beautiful that I can’t manage to make my face disfigured,” Rhiannon answered slowly and her tongue carried some fear in them making everyone’s m

    When Rhiannon woke up and found herself at a ward and saw both Mary and Yadira sleeping on the couch, she was shocked as she couldn’t understand how she had survived. She had witnessed how crazy Cecily was and didn’t believe that the poison dosage as little as she had felt her organs starting to fail her. She coughed waking the women. “Sister, you are awake?” Yadira asked happily while Mary poured some water into a glass and handed her to drink. After drinking, Rhiannon felt that her throat wasn’t as hoarse as before. “What happened? How am I still alive?” she asked looking at the two waiting for them to explain what had happened as she had been involved in a car accident. Yadira and Mary told her everything that had happened in the hospital and also the news about the organization being completely wiped out by her father. She was shocked to hear that. “Guess we should have included her from the beginning then. We would have suffered a lot of energy,” Rhiannon said causing the t

    “Actually, mom died of the poison she had been injected with upon joining the organization. People are injected with the poison so that they can think twice before they leave as escape as they wouldn’t have medicine to prolong it or cure them. That time, the leader had not seen Mom or fallen in love with her. I believe he wouldn’t have poisoned her if he did. After all, Gustavo was never poisoned but was treated as the organization's young master since he was Yadira’s brother,” Ernest explained and the king nodded.“However, I will still destroy his work, organization, and everything related to him. Am just afraid that he will later get back to his feet and then retaliate against us all,” the king said.Although he knew that they had a powerful background, with power and connections. He didn’t want his kids to live in fear. They couldn’t get out of the royal kingdom if they wanted to since they were afraid of getting killed.“You can kill him. I don’t care,” Yadira said coldly as she

    “Can someone tell me what’s happening?” The king asked as he looked at both of his sons who were in the room with him.However, they just shot him a confused look as they closed their eyes since they were feeling tired after a large amount of blood was taken out.‘I mean who is this Cecily and why does she hate Rhiannon so much?” the king asked as he wanted to know everything that happened.Ernest sighed as he felt that their father knowing about some things would be for their benefit as if he personally took action against the Demons Organisation, it would be wiped out in just hours. However, what he was worried about was their sister, Yadira. After all, the leader was her father. Even though she didn’t speak and even planned with them how to get rid of the man, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. He wished that there was a way which they wouldn’t have to kill the man for her.Ernest started explaining everything to his father. From what happened during the banquet to Rhiannon’s

    “Blood type O?” he asked in a murmur when everyone’s reactions and their words hit him.From how his sons were overprotective of the latter, to their words, everything.“Is she my daughter?” he asked Antonio and Amanda while his voice trembled.“Does anyone have blood type O?” the doctor asked not paying attention to his questions as to him, the patient's life was more important than witnessing family drama.“I do,” both the second prince and the fourth prince said in unison before they turned to each other.“Her brothers?” the doctor asked as he stared at the two.“Biological brother,” the second prince said.“Stepbrother,” the fourth prince replied.The doctor nodded as he sighed but he didn’t show what was on his mind when he heard their words.“Your blood won’t be enough. We will be draining all of her blood.“Uhm, won’t my blood match?” Yadira asked as she felt awful she didn’t have the same blood as her sister.“What’s your blood type?” the doctor said.“Blood group A,” she repl

    “Nanny, how is Rhiannon?” Octavius asked Mary immediately when he saw him.Hearing his voice, Prince Ernest's eyes darkened.“What are you doing here?” he asked the man coldly.“How is Rhiannon?” Octavius asked once more ignoring him.Seeing this, the second prince was so mad that he took Yadira out of his arms and walked towards the latter.“you have the guts to show up here?” he asked as he threw a punch at him.“What are you doing?” the king asked while Amanda panicked wanting to intervene but Antonio held her back and shook his head at her.“Let me go. He will kill our son,” she said as she started beating Antonio but the latter still didn’t let her go.“There has to be a reason why he is doing what he is doing!” Antonio told him.“I haven’t done anything wrong. You are the one who didn’t protect her well enough,” Octavius told the prince causing the Prince to laugh and punch him once more.“I didn’t protect her well enough? If it weren’t for fiancée, would Rhiannon be lying on th

    “You scumbag. I am going to kill you today!” the king growled as he stood up to beat up the prince.The prince who was on his knees was stunned and he hurriedly stood up and started running away.“Royal father, why are you beating me up and it wasn’t my fault!” he shouted as he regretted saying those words.“Do you brothers think that faking death is child’s play?” the king asked angrily as he couldn’t believe that they had been lying to him for a year.“Father, we aren’t the ones who did that! It was Gustavo!” he said causing the king’s actions to slow down.“Who is Gustavo?” the king asked as he stared at his son who was standing near the stairs ready to run upstairs if the king tried to beat him.“Second royal brother's twin brother. His eldest brother. When he was at the organization, they knew that the leader would try to kidnap Rhiannon thus he faked their death. He was the one who called us to tell us their death and also planned the air crash,” the prince shouted as he thought

    Rhiannon was woken up by Clare and opened her eyes only to see Cecily slitting their driver’s throat before she pulled him to the other seat and sat on the driver’s seat.She was so shocked and looked at the latter.She took a pill that Yadira had given her and swallowed it.The pill gave her strength and she jumped up and attacked Cecily who was shocked to see Rhiannon had recovered.At that time, Rhiannon had already understood the gravity of the situation as Cecily wanted to die, she would really die since she had given the necklace to her brother to protect him when he was fighting with the terrorists. Did she regret it? No, she felt that it was okay and was confident that she would defeat Cecily.“You came back and took both Octavius and the company from me! You also caused my mother’s death. Do you think that I will let you go?” Cecily asked Rhiannon coldly as they continued throwing punches at each other but Cecily was at a disadvantage as she still had one hand on the steering

    “Rhiannon, what’s going on?” Mary asked worriedly when she looked at Rhiannon who was still in bed covering herself and trembling.“I don’t know,” Rhiannon said as her mouth also trembled when she spoke.“Let them go and call Yadira,” Mary said in a panic and rushed out of the room.After a few minutes, she came back with Yadira who had a purse with her.“When did all these start?” Yadira asked in panic when she saw her sister in this way.“I don’t know,” Rhiannon said as she remembered that he had been fine.Yadira took some needles out and started performing the acupuncture on her and it took a few hours for the process to end. However, by the end of it, Rhianon was feeling much better than better.“Guys, I don’t have to be worried with a genus doctor sister by my side!” Rhiannon said as she grinned looking at Yadira who was staring at her coldly.“Can you shut up? Can’t you take good care of yourself? Look, you had a flu that could have taken your life!” Yadira said that she had i

All they would hope for was that he wouldn’t come across Rhiannon or the brother they had lied to him that he was dead.The third prince on the other hand set off immediately he was permitted by the king as he had been secretly training their soldiers he had thought of going to the war with his second brother as he could be called the fourth prince if Gustavo was included.“My Highness, where are we going to stay as you didn’t allow me to book any hotel?” the fourth prince who had accompanied the king had asked his father that time when they were on the plane.“If people hear that we are at the capital and know we are staying in a hotel, they would do their best to find which hotel, and when they find out where
