Taylor chuckled, still finding it hard to believe what was right in front of her. A ring, and the man of her dreams on one knee proposing to her.Taking a deep breath in and out, Taylor replied, "I will Bryan, I'll marry you." Happily, Bryan rose to his feet and pulled Taylor into a tight embrace. He really couldn't believe that she had just agreed to get married to him because he was probably expecting her to ask for more time before their day would come."Thank you. Thank you so much for choosing me, Taylor.""I'll always choose you, Bryan. I'll always love you too."Suddenly, there was this sense of guilt that hit Bryan. Although Bryan had not recognized it earlier, with Taylor's words and innocence, he just couldn't help but feel it strongly.He had been lying to her and trying to protect her. Not only that, he had also cheated on her. Bryan was scared. What if he told her every fucking thing and Taylor ends up leaving him for good this time or she ends up unable to ever forgive
Bryan took Taylor to the upper rooms, and once he opened the door to a room, it was beautifully decorated, making Taylor gasp a bit as she saw it."Come." Bryan said, and she took his hand. They walked further till they got to the balcony with banisters around. The stars were simply perfect tonight, and they made the sky even prettier."Do you like it?""Like? Are you kidding me? I love every bit of tonight's surprise Bryan, and believe me, I didn't expect any of this." Taylor replied with a chuckle as Bryan wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He kissed her neck gently, "I love you so much more than you can imagine."She rubbed her hand on his for a slight second, feeling the sincerity in his words as he spoke, "I love you too, Bryan." Taylor replied.The next minute, there were fireworks in the air."Oh my goodness!" Taylor exclaimed, staring at the beauty in the sky. Bryan let go of her waist and walked back into the room. He opened the bottle of wine which was laying on
Taylor and Bryan were still staring at Stella, and the only thing in Taylor's mind was what could probably be in Stella's mind. She had also noticed something strange during that party, and even more, Stella's smile wasn't genuine.At first Taylor thought it could be because of her. Since Stella's past had Bryan involved in it, maybe she was still feeling rather very uncomfortableMeanwhile, Bryan walked towards the window so he could think about other important things, and when his phone made a beeping noise, he brought it out from his pocket to see that there was a message from Sasha.~Please come over, we need to talk because it's really important~ Bryan read inwardly, and he heaved deeply afterwards, while roughing his hair a bit. "Fuck!" He curses inwardly but hears Taylor's voice, "She's awake.""Stella, are you alright?" Taylor questioned.She had long forgiven Stella for the past, and for trying to destroy her home because in the end, Stella realized her mistake and even went
Natalia and Sebastian stood outside.Earlier, Sebastian had called Natalia outside so he could talk to her. His eyes were so red and they were also so swollen and staring at him, Talia was able to figure out that he had cried."Sebastian, what's wrong? Are you okay?" She questioned, but he didn't reply immediately. Nathan was asleep, and since Natalia had been with him the entire day, she had no idea what was wrong with Sebastian."Talk to me please, I'm worried." Talia said, rubbing his hands gently. As she saw tears rolling down his eyes, it occurred to her that Sebastian must be really hurt. This time around, she hugged him and began to pat his back gently."It's gonna be fine. Nathan's awake right? We're gonna be happy now, and we'll move forward.""He's gone." Sebastian broke out with a shaky voice.Natalia broke the hug, wanting to stare at his face, "Who's gone?""Mr Mercidi is gone. He's dead. That fucking bastard killed him."Talia was holding Sebastian's hand, but once she h
Natalia was still staring at Sebastian, while he was silent."Leo's working with Massimo." Talia cut in immediately when Sebastian was about to say something. Sebastian arched his brows, but thankfully, Nathan didn't see that.Leo working with Asher wasn't new information to Nathan because Sebastian had told him about it before. "There's a party, and it recently has been shifted. It's in three days time. Sebastian was hoping you would have been better by then." Talia had no idea what the hell was rushing out of her mouth. She had no idea if what she had just said made sense or not, but as she was about to continue, Sebastian cut in."It would be too risky if you showed your face at the initial stage of your healing. Right now, Leo has the upper hand, and he still has the support of every other family member. Even the directors. For now, I think it's best if we do things secretly."Nathan nodded his head, although he didn't like the plan.He had missed so much during that time he was u
It was late at night Sebastian entered the bar, and thankfully only a few people were inside. Sebastian thought of paying a handsome amount so everyone in there would evict the place, but then he thought otherwise because that would probably draw attention to him.He heaved deeply and adjusted the face cap he was putting on. At least, that would be able to cover up his face just well enough for people not to recognize him at first glance.He took his seat on the counter, and called the attention of the bartender."Can you mix something really strong?"The young lady nodded her head Sebastian had picked interest in her the moment he saw her. Not the interest that meant he liked or but at the moment, he found her beautiful, and even more brave because of the job she chose to do."Here you go. Try it out."Sebastian's eyes were still on hers even after she had told him to try it out. "Did you hear me?" When she spoke again, that was the moment Sebastian came to his senses and instantly
"Fuck!" There was a light groan afterwards as she dropped her head backwards. That was so fucking close and she had almost lost her life. Sharon took a deep and nervous breath in and out while she shut her eyes to feel her breath move freely."Oh God."Her heart was still thumping hard, and Sharon was still finding it hard to believe she had just escaped a possible death. She made sure to take a turn that they definitely wouldn't trace or find her just so she could get away and have enough time to treat Sebastian.This was her home here in New York, and her long hidden secret which Sebastian would find out today was that she was super wealthy.She got down from the car, and walked to the other side where Sebastian was still lying unconscious.Two of Sharon's men rushed towards her the very moment they saw her."Gentle on him okay." Sharon warned as she watched them both take him out of the car. They continued to follow her and when they got to a room that she had chosen, Sebastian wa
Everybody kept staring at Leo. His decision was fucking a shock to everyone of them, and now that Mr Mercidi was no longer alive, there was nothing anyone could be do Leo was officially in charge fully now.Kiara stared at him, wondering what the hell Leo must have been thinking when he made this decision. She kept quiet, watching the entire family try to take their stance and make Leo change his decision but it was impossible because Leo had made it known to them that it was his final decision and there was no going back.Kiara didn't utter a word, but sat down quietly and continued to stare at Leo till it was time for everyone to dismiss. Her family were here too and thankfully they just saw the kind of man Leo was. Stupidly, her father had given half of whatever they owned and even a particular percentage of their power to Leo because of everything he had done for them in the past.He won their trust with money, power and reputation in the past and now he was here to claim it all b
