“What do you think?” Harriett twirled in front of her mother. It was her first day at her father’s company since the divorce and she was already feeling nervous.

She was dressed in a beige colored gown that stopped a bit below her knees, a black kimono and a matching beige heels to go with the dress while her hair was packed in a neat pony tail and paired with silver jewelries.

“Stunning, Su Ji. You look perfect.” Her mother praised, sensing how tensed she was. When she heard that Harriett had agreed to resume work at the office, she was extremely happy. She knew that it was exactly what Harriett needed to get her mind off Damien now that she was in the same city with him.

“You’ve got this, Harriett. You’ve got this.” She took a deep breath and walked out of her room with her mother following beside her.

When she got to the living room, her father was already waiting for her.

The Edwards family owned over twenty hotels around the world and we’re also known for their success in

    “Adrian?” Harriett’s face instantly turned pale as she stared at her long time friend. After the incident four years ago, she completely cut all ties with Adrian as she couldn’t face him out of total embarrassment and guilt.“Well, this isn’t the reaction I was expecting.” Adrian laughed and walked to the chair. “Aren’t you happy to see me, Harri?” “What are you doing here, Adrian? H-how did you find me?” She sat down slowly, playing nervously with her fingers.“Mother told me that you have returned to the company so, I decided to pay you a visit since you decided to cut me out of your life.” Adrian forced a smile, making Harriett feel even worse than she already did.“You should have called at least, Harriett. You cutting me out like that only made it look like the accusations were true. That was a really selfish move on your part, you know.” Adrian chuckled sadly, his eyes filled with hurt as he stared at Harriett. He had to admit, she had changed a lot and the good part was that

    Damien had barely made it out of the building when his phone rang. He already knew the consequences of his action before he went ahead with it but this time, he was determined to face whatever was coming.“Damien, have you suddenly gone mad?!” His mother yelled through the phone as soon as the call went through. “Mum, can you listen to me first-”“Do not tell me to listen, Damien! What has come over you? It’s that bitch, isn’t it? She’s the one manipulating you, isn’t it?” Stacy said, her body shaking in anger.Damien leaned back on his car seat and pinched the bridge of his nose. If only she would let him explain himself.“Come home immediately!” She said and hung up. Just as that call ended, his phone buzzed and this time it was his brother calling. Damien already knew why he was calling so he declined the call and drove to his parent’s house.**“You didn’t tell me that Damien already agreed to the marriage, Evelyn! Gosh! I can’t wait for the wedding.” Her mother squealed happil

    “I missed you, Evelyn.” Damien forced the words out of his throat as his face squeezed in disgust. He released his hold on her arm a bit, only touching her lightly.Evelyn on the other hand, couldn’t believe her ears. When the words left Damien’s lips, she had to pinch herself repeatedly to be sure that she wasn’t dreaming. When it was confirmed that he actually said those words, a victorious smile appeared on her face and she pushed herself deeper into the hug. “I missed you too, Damien.” She whimpered, smiling evilly as she rested her head on his shoulders.A few moments later, Damien pulled away from the hug and wore a fake smile on his face.“Come on.” He pulled her into the house and made her wait in the living room as he went into his own room to freshen up.He had barely finished changing into new clothes when she knocked on his door.'Why the fuck did she follow me up here?' He groaned, wondering why she couldn't just wait a few minutes for him downstairs.“Give me a m

    Harriett turned off the engine and pulled her seatbelt out before leaning in to pick Adrian from the back seat. Thankfully, she hadn’t been noticed by the newly engaged couple so she quickly shut the car door and walked towards them… really slowly. She held Addison in her arms and let Adrian walk on his own which was him pretty much running as he couldn’t wait to meet his father. Damien parked his car and was about stepping out when he saw a woman and two children. When he looked further, he realized that it was none other than Harriett and his children. Damien felt his heart jump out of his chest as instant fear gripped him but, he maintained his composure nonetheless.Evelyn, on the other hand, saw that his attention was fixed at a particular direction and turned to see what it was that he was so focused on. When she did, she was met with a very pleasing sight. Today would make it a week since the challenge was made and Harriett was still unable to make Damien get on his knees. Ins

    As Harriett drove off with the twins, it was finally just Evelyn and Damien that were left at the parking lot. Getting up from his knees, Damien finally remembered that he wasn’t alone and that Evelyn had been there all along. “Evel-” “We’ll talk about it later. Your parents are waiting.” Evelyn said with a straight face and walked towards the front door of the mansion. “Welcome. I didn’t expect you guys to be this late.” Stacy forced a smile out as she reluctantly gave Evelyn a side hug. “We had a small situation.” Damien answered and Stacy immediately understood that they must have bumped into Harriett and the twins. That made her feel happy as she knew that her son must have fallen at Harriet’s feet in front of Evelyn once again. Judging from the scowl on Evelyn’s baked face, she wasn’t wrong. “Errm.. thank you for inviting me over, mother. I can call you that, right? I mean, we’re about to be family so..” She laughed, pretending to like or care about Damien’s family. All the

    Harriet dropped the twins off at the kindergarten before driving to work. All through the working hours, she found herself unable to focus as her thoughts kept drifting to a certain ex-husband of hers and his new fiancé. “Miss Edwards?” Collin tapped the door softly for the umpteenth time until he was finally able to get her attention. “Collin. What is it?” She cleared her throat and readjusted her posture, wondering if he had been there for a long time. She hated how much she had been zoning out at work. “You can call it a day, Miss. I already cleared your schedule for the afternoon and evening so, you can go home. You don’t really look so good.” Collin said genuinely as he watched her tired eyes stare at him. He had been watching her since she arrived and without anyone telling him, he knew that she won’t be able to work properly as she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Leaving the office early wasn’t going to affect her either as she had already taken care of most of the week’s

    As Damien walked out of the company and headed to his car, his phone rang. A groan left his lips when he saw who was on the phone but he didn’t have a choice so, he reluctantly picked up the phone. “What is it, Evelyn?” He said as he connected his phone to his airpod with a frown as he ignited the car and begun driving to his house. “Damien..” Evelyn’s voice was low as though she had been crying. Damien didn’t care about her one bit but he wasn’t an animal and he certainly wasn’t raised to ignore people in need. “Is everything alright with you?” He asked when he heard a sniff, confirming his suspicion. Knowing Evelyn, he wouldn’t be surprised if this was a pretense. “I just got a call from mum… Dad has..” She started but another buzzed through his phone and Damien’s heart raced when he saw that it was Harriett who was calling. It felt unreal as she had never called him since the divorce. He was always the one reaching out to her. Without wasting much time, Damien quickly ended Eve

    “She was with children. I suggest we kill them if we don’t want any problems. What do you say?” The man said over the phone.“What?” Evelyn screamed, pulling her hair harshly out of annoyance. “Are you stupid or you’re just trying to ruin me?” She groaned. Evelyn wasn’t stupid. She knew how much Damien cherished his children and if news reaches him about their disappearance, he would go to the ends of the earth to find them. As far as she was concerned, this man has made a big mistake by taking the kids with him.“I couldn’t kidnap the woman and leave the children, that’ll be fucking suspicious! They’ll instantly know that whoever did it was only after Harriett.” He explained, trying to bail himself out of the situation.“You should have been careful! How on earth will you kidnap her on her back from a kindergarten and think that she wouldn’t be with children? What are you, an idiot?” She complained angrily. One thing Evelyn knew so well about Damien was that he doesn’t jok

    Final Chapter… Before Louis could utter another word to plead with her, the sounds of sirens were heard, signifying that the police had arrived. “You bitch! You already called the police!” He screamed and angrily pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed at Lily causing Rachael to scream. “You think I wouldn’t come here prepared?” He asked and laughed maniacally. “I knew that I couldn’t trust this doctor and guess what, I was right!” He said, moving the gun from Lily to Tony. “How dare you try to trick me?!” He yelled at Tony who now had his hands up in surrender. “Put the gun down and we can talk, Louis. Put it down.” Tony said calmly, slowly moving towards Lily. “Stop right there!” Louis screamed and cocked the gun, scaring everyone in the room. “I told you, Lily. I told you that nothing can separate us. If I die, you die. We go down together, Lily. Do you hear me?!” He said, grinning eerily. “Please, stop. Please, Louis. You need to stop!” Lily cried, rubbing her hands to

    “It's Louis. He just arrived at the house. Come on, Lily. You'll finally get that apology.” Tony said and grabbed her hand. “I’ll take him to the guest quarters first and then, you can come in ten minutes later.” He said and kissed her lips before leaving the house. “Oh my God,” Lily exclaimed as soon as he left. Her palms were sweaty and her heart was racing. After so many weeks, she was going to see Louis and it was possibly going to be the last time. “I can't believe this is happening.” She beamed, pacing. Tony, on the other hand, had met up with Louis who was waiting at the front door and was now leading him to the guest house. When they arrived, Louis sighed in relief as he saw the luxurious room that had been prepared for him to stay until he was able to leave the country by sea. “Thank you so much for this, Tony. I swear I won't cause you any trouble until I leave. You won't even know I’m here.” He thanked, breathing like he had just completed a marathon. Tony nodded and

    Louis noticed that a few minutes after his call, the policemen behind him slowed down and turned around, abandoning their chase. A sigh of relief left his lips and he finally stopped his car. It was obvious that Tony had made some calls.He then realized that as long as he stayed loyal to Tony he would be safe. As for Mehdi, he was history and would now be punished by the law.His phone dinged and when he checked, it was a text from Tony.Tony: [Come over to my house. That’s the only safe place for you. You can leave when things settle down. I’d send the address to you but I know you already know that.]He nodded as if Tony was in front of him and hit the accelerator, driving to Tony’s house.**“Lily! Lily!” Rachael screamed from the living room to Lily who was in the kitchen with the chef. “You need to see this!”Lily appeared in no time with an apron around her. She had been trying to distract herself from the fight with Tony by helping the chefs out while Rachael kept herself bus

    “You’re being recorded, boss! It's on live stream!” Mehdi’s secretary screamed with a look of horror on his face. Mehdi on the other hand looked like he had just been punched in the face. “It's all over the news. You need to stop!” His secretary yelled.The blood in Mehdiface dried out immediately and the smile on his face vanished. Scrambling around like a madman, he looked for the TV remote and switched on the television. Just as his secretary had said, the first thing Mehdi saw on the news was a video of himself and his secretary staring into his TV which was happening in real-time. That could only mean that they were being recorded by a hidden camera. He looked at the TV one last time, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. That was when he realized that the hidden camera was in Tony’s direction. When he turned, there was a smirk on Tony’s lips as he watched Mehdi panic, knowing that he had just told the whole world about his crimes.“You…” He growled and launched at Tony, det

    “What just happened?” Rachael said as soon as he walked out. She had been eavesdropping on their conversation for a while. Not that you could blame her. They were being extremely loud so she didn’t even have to try. “Not now, Rachael.” He groaned, dragging his feet to the minibar. “Don’t walk away from me, Tony. Not after what just happened!” She scolded, pulling him back by his arms. She stepped in front of him and let out a frustrated sigh, running her hand through her hair. “I swear, you both stress the fuck out of me.” She hissed. “Listen, I don’t care what she did to you, all I know is that she’s not leaving this house. You’re acting rashly because you’re angry. When you calm down, you’re going to hate yourself so, you’re going to take a break in my room and have a long nap while I speak to Lily. When you wake up, you can speak to her again. At least you’ll be a lot calmer then.” She said, rubbing the side of his arms assuringly. Tony groaned but succumbed and walked away, st

    After his conversation with Rachael, Tony returned to Lily but she was nowhere to be found. The sound of running water in the bathroom informed him that she was having a shower. He then decided to leave so that she could have some privacy but, as he was about to leave, his phone rang.Looking at the caller, his jaw tightened in anger.It was Louis.After a few rings, he picked up but said nothing, waiting for him to speak.“Tony! I have great news.” He started and Tony hummed, walking out of Lily’s room as he didn’t want her knowing he was involved with Louis.“I just had a meeting with Mehdi.” Tony paused in his tracks and he wondered if he had judged Louis wrongly.Was he really going to tell him about his conversation with Mehdi? If that was the case then, Louis might not be as bad as he thought.“Really? What was it about?” He asked, now in his room. He shut the door and sat at the edge of the bed, listening attentively to Louis.“Well, I managed to get on his good books once aga

    Tony sat on his bed, his AirPods plugged in and Lily sleeping peacefully on his lap. He had been making plans on how to bring Mehdi to justice with the help of Louis when his phone beeped, telling him that Louis was on the move. He initially ignored it as Louis was always on the move but when he saw where his location was, he took out his AirPods and listened in on their conversation.At first, he thought it was a part of Louis’s plan to help him out and probably get something on Mehdi but, as he listened in, he realized that he was wrong.Louis was betraying him a few hours after their conversation.Not that he didn’t expect it. Men like Louis weren’t to be trusted and he knew that. The only reason he was too bothered initially was because he knew he had Louis’s phone tapped so if he tried to deceive him, he would already be aware.“Well, that was quicker than expected.” He whispered and chuckled lightly before carefully taking Lily’s head to a pillow and leaving the room.“Rachael!”

    “It’s the fucking Snakers, man.” Immediately the words left Raphael’s mouth, Tony's shoulders fell and his head dropped to the headboard.“And I hired him into my company without knowing about this.” He hissed, ruffling his hair out of anger and annoyance.“I should have been more careful for fuck’s sake. I put her life in danger by not being careful enough.”“That’s in the past now though, man. She’s out of danger and now we know not to be careless with things like this.” Raphael cut him off, to stop Tony from blaming himself.Tony nodded and returned his hands to the steering wheel. “You’re right. What I have to do now is find him and make sure he apologizes to her. Knowing Lily, she’s probably losing her mind right now thinking something bad has happened to him.” He said with a stressed sigh.“I can imagine how betrayed she’d feel when she learns the truth.” He added. “Anyway, thank you for your help, Raphael. I really appreciate it.” He thanked him and ended the call.**“I swear

    Later that day….Tony walked into the private booth of a famous club a few minutes away from his house, where he had agreed to meet with his guest. He was ushered in by a waiter who pointed to the guest who had been waiting, his back to Tony.Tony thanked the waiter and headed to the couch where his guest was seated. As soon as he got there, the face of the guest lighted up and he leaned forward.“I was shocked to learn that you wanted us to meet. I was convinced it was a prank but, seeing you here, It’s obvious I was wrong.” He said with a smirk on his lips.“Like I said, this meeting is overdue. It has been on my mind for a while now.” Tony replied, his face as hard as stone. He then exhaled and leaned forward.“I have an offer for you, Louis.” He said calmly and Louis’s eyes widened but he quickly composed himself and crossed his legs.“You’re not going to give me money and tell me to stay away from Lily, are you? You should know that’s not going to work by now.” He laughed, his to
