2024-10-29 19:42:56Sean drove into his compound and at that moment he knew something wasn't right. He didn't see his wife's car in the driveway only Natalie, Dante, and Dario's car.
He headed inside and was met with total silence. He knew that normally they should be kids playing and running around but then, he didn't see anyone.
Sean had continued into his room but still, he had the nagging feeling that something was wrong. He did not bump into Ava, Daniel, Lisa, or even Natalie for once.
After a quick shower and trying to relax his unsettled nerves, he headed for Lisa's room. He pulled the door open and was surprised to see it was empty.
Cold fear gripped his heart when he noticed all the properties in the room were gone as well. He raced to the kids' room but saw only Noah and Chloe. Just like he had suspected, Ava and Chloe were gone.
He went to the dining room and began bellowing Lisa's name after trying to call

Dane woke up with a start. He looked around his dark room but couldn't see anything before he turned on his bedside lamp.He touched the space Natalie was supposed to be sleeping on but it was cold. He had no idea how long she had been gone but the coldness was there.His heart hammered in his chest, beating against his ribcage as he got out of bed. It was 4 am and she wasn't supposed to be anywhere but on the bed, beside him.When he left his room and headed down the stairs, he turned on the light in the sitting room and was startled at what he had seen.Noah and Natalie were wrapped around each other streaks of dried tears on their faces.What had happened? He shuddered to think that just maybe Sean had laid a hand on Natalie but then that would spell doom for him.Noah stirred awake, his hands on his sister's hair that was placed on his chest. He was twelve but he was

Natalie heaved a sigh of relief when she stepped inside the mansion. After Lisa had left the house with Ava and Daniel and had that weird conversation with Sean she hadn't felt comfortable about staying at the house again.So she was glad when Dante had declared Xavier safe around the mansion."Finally we're home, Nat!" Chloe exclaimed running around the house."Careful Chloe so you don't hurt yourself," Natalie said to the giggling girl."Alright mom," she replied then stopped suddenly staring at her with huge eyes, "I can call you mom, right? You're going to marry daddy soon and I like you."Tears filled her eyes as she stared at the little girl waiting for her answer. She had wished for this moment secretly in her heart the very day she had seen Chloe.Now, the day was finally here and she was so happy."Yes, baby. That would make me very happy," she replied snif

Natalie rolled her eyes at the sound of Lee's gruff voice. She wondered what's got him so cranky when that trait was for Leo."I hate to interrupt but we want to start the meeting and I need to sleep!""We'll be down shortly," Dante clipped.Natalie could tell he was upset with the way he has answered."What's the matter, Dante?" She asked worriedly.He smiled a boyish smile. "Call me selfish but I just wanna spend a whole day with you without having any interruptions or planning how to bring someone down."Natalie caressed his hair and smiled. "I feel the same way too but it doesn't make us selfish. We would be getting married soon and we ought to be relaxing and enjoying each other's company not fighting off a psychopath called Sean."Dante chuckled then kissed the top of her head before he pulled out of her. She whined at the loss of his warm skin on hers'

Faustino got off the phone and handed it to his secretary. He needed more time and investigation to process this new information he had gotten.If Ricco had started working on his own then it will be dangerous to keep him beside him but he couldn't just let him go without finding out.He massaged his temples and signaled to one of his bodyguards."Yes, sir."Faustino whispered something in his ears and he nodded before leaving.A few minutes later, Ricco came into his study smiling widely."Good morning, Don."He nodded. "How are you, Ricco?""Very fine, Don.""I can see that. What have you been doing since I was away, Ricco?" Faustino asked."Nothing much, Don. I have been busy running around and attending meetings," Ricco replied."That's nice. When do you want to get married?" Faustino asked.Ricco chuckled. "I am not sure that question is necessary for our conversation, Don."Faustino shrugged. "I'm as

Muttering under her breath, Natalie headed back to her room for her much-needed rest. She needed to look good today before she appeared before the camera.She was halfway through the stairs when she heard Dante's voice."Babe, could you please give us a few days to tidy things up?"Whirling around she narrowed her eyes at him. "My wedding is in seven days. Have you gone for a suit fitting?""Err...I think I have enough suit in my closet to attend my wedding," Dante replied scratching his head."Who's your best man?" She asked.He scratched his head again looking between Xavier and Dario while Trish stood beside him stifling her giggles."Ok, I can probably go without any right?" He asked.Her stare turned to ice as she plastered a grim smile on her face. "Sure, you'll waltz in there alone.""I'll find...""Do you know we have an interview with the press today?" She asked.His eyes widened in shock. "We? What pre

Natalie woke up with a bright smile on her face as she stared at Dante sleeping soundly. She placed a small kiss on his lips remembering how he had attended to the board members.She felt happy with her decision to let everyone live their lives and prepare for the wedding and Christmas not to make plans on how to stop a violent attack that might never happen.They were young adults and they deserved to enjoy their age not to worry till they get stress line on their forehead and wrinkled faces.She tip-toed out of the room and headed downstairs to the kitchen where Lee was already there preparing morning breakfast."Good morning, Nat," he beamed at her."Good morning, Lee. You look happy this morning," she teased.He chuckled. "I was cranky because of that plane.""Whatever, Lee. I need to make a special breakfast for Dante, he's still asleep," she rambled gath

"Honestly, when I first met her I thought she was horrible. I tried to make her miserable so that she would leave but I'm glad she didn't 'cause now, I have a mom.""Awws" and "so sweet" with collective wistful sigh filled the air after Chloe finished her interview. Even Natalie had tears in her eyes when she ran towards her and hugged her."I love you, mom," she said."I love you more, Chloe."Flashes of camera and lighting filled the sitting room again before Noah was summoned for his interview."Welcome back to the show. I'm still Ed, your presenter, and here with me is Noah Tyson, Natalie's younger brother," Ed said smiling at the camera then he turned towards Noah."What do you think about Dante?"Noah shrugged. "He's cool and I like him and I rarely like people. I know he's gonna take care of my sister but if he doesn't I'm gonna make sure he regrets it."The crew chuckled and Ed spared the camera a wide smile."I love this

Thirty minutes!Thirty fucking minutes since he's been pacing in front of the ward where Natalie was kept and still they wouldn't let him see her or tell him how she was doing."Dad, is mommy gonna be alright?"A muscle twitched beneath his eyes as he stared at his daughter and gave her a grim smile."Your mom will be fine, don't worry."He hoped to heaven that Natalie and his baby should be fine else he wasn't sure what he would do to Ed. It was his fault this has happened. If he hadn't craved juicy gossip from his family then he wouldn't have invited Sophie.The door opened and the doctor stepped out. Dante walked up to him immediately."Doctor Jones, how are they?""Come with me to my office, Mr. Rodrigo."Dante's body tensed as he followed the doctor to his office piled with stacks of files his favorite wigs."Take a seat, Dante.""Is Natalie alright?" Dante asked. He was worried and didn't feel like seating

"Dante?"Her husband stared at her with a confused expression."Na—ruff!"The next thing that followed was utter chaos as she stood mortified.Natalie blinked. Maybe if she closed her eyes and opened it, the horrible scene would disappear but the shrill voices reminded her that it was real."He is crazy!” someone exclaimed."Call the asylum!" Another added.Natalie watched as her husband tore at people's trousers and skirts barking like a dog.Like an actual dog! A real dog!She looked around mortified as she tried to stop them from racing out of the house screaming their lungs out.

“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” Natalie stared at Dante as he lay down peacefully on the hospital bed, a small smile playing on his lips. She caressed his hair and kissed his cheeks softly. “He’ll be asleep for a while, Ma’am,” the doctor answered. “Did you find out what's wrong?” Natalie asked. The doctor nodded and she heaved a sigh of relief. She had worried that everything wouldn't go according to her plans and she would have to start afresh after ruining Dante’s image. “This is the document of Dante’s hospital reports,” the doctor said, handing her some papers. Natalie went through it and a smile formed on her lips. “Thank you so much, Doctor,” Natalie smiled. The doctor nodded, “You’re welcome, Ma’am. I wish you success.”Natalie nodded as the doctor left. A few minutes later Lee stepped into the hospital room, panting. “Reporters... Outside... Wolves!” he panted. Natalie shrugged, “Calm down, Lee. Did you get it?”Lee handed her a box and nodded, “Everything i

Natalie stared at Dante as she saw the speech he had written and she chuckled."What's funny?" Dante asked with a frown."You are writing a speech like you aren't a businessman again," she chortled.Dante's frown deepened. "What is wrong with that?"Natalie smiled. "I just don't think it would be necessary for that. You can do that without the speech."Dante furrowed his brows at her. "It's an impromptu speech, Natalie. I need to be prepared."Natalie noticed the way his muscles were tensed and she sighed. She knew he was nervous but she didn't know what was going on in his mind.She stood up and touched his biceps. He smiled at her touch and she smiled. "Why are you so tensed?" She asked.He shrugged. "What do you mean? I'm not tensed."Natalie smirked. "You are, Dante."Dante sighed and took a seat beside her on the bed. He massaged his throbbing temples and sighed again."Out with it!" Natalie exclaimed."I'm scared, Nat," he whispered.Natalie froze at the tone of his voice. Her p

She tried connecting the dots but at each point, she came up blank. Nothing made any sense whatsoever and Sophie had agreed to accompany Dante. It was only out of jealousy that she had decided to go with Dante. Could it be that this whole thing had been a trap to ruin her trust with Dante? What more can break a relationship except when they've lost trust in each other? First, she was made to lose faith in Dante by finding out about his affair with Sophie which wasn't so much of a big deal if she had just sat down to think about it. She massaged her temples as she felt the headache beginning to form. She needed to stay focused because that was what Sophie was trying to disrupt. For some reason, she knew that her coming here would do no good for either her or Dante. How could she have let this slip by so quickly? She picked up her pen and went to the board, there was a time when she had defeated Jared and Sophie, now was the same time to do just that. She examined the things that

Dante stepped out of the police van as he followed them to the cell where he would stay. "You will have to cool off here for the night, sir. Someone called us and suggested you spend the night here before you strangle your wife out of anger." Dante ignored the policeman as he thought about what Natalie had done. He knew he shouldn't be upset after what happened with Sophie but he was. In this frame of mind, he was willing to kill someone preferably Dario for touching her. And he has said he tasted his fucking wife! Those words alone had set his blood boiling with anger. He waited as the inspector opened the door and he entered his cell. His mind was reeling with lots of thoughts as he thought about what to do with Natalie. He didn't know if he should believe her when she said nothing happened. But the pictures... They were just too damn intimate for his liking and he wanted to strangle Dario for touching her the way only he could. How could she be so heartless and betray him li

He jerked away from her touch. "You've already embarrassed me before the media I don't care!""What nonsense are you talking about?" Dario asked."I'm talking about this!" Dante yelled shoving his phone in their face.Natalie gasped when she saw the pictures on his phone. It was when Dario had kissed her and when he had slipped her dress off her shoulder."Dante, this isn't what it looks like," she cried.He glared at her. "Yeah, then what does it look like?"Dario ran a hand through his hair. "Would you believe me if I say that I have no idea of how this came about?"Dante glared at him. "Try lying to someone else!""I swear Dante. The last thing I remembered was blacking out on the grass in the cliff before this whole kissing scenario after that blacking out everything is a blur," Dario stated."Are you trying to tell me that my wife is the one..."Dario interrupted him sharply. "Natalie would never do such a thing. I don't know what happened but it's not what you're thinking."Natal

His eyes narrowed into slits when he saw that she was still cuddled up with Dario while the media took pictures.How could she be asleep in this noisy environment?!Maybe because she had been so busy with something else, a malicious voice said in his mind.He noticed Natalie stirring and he glared at them trying to control his temper. "Get away from here!" He yelled at the media."She's waking and him too!"The media yelled ignoring him. He whirled around to see Natalie stretch and wake up before she froze at the flash of cameras.He saw the wild and confused look in her eyes and then she shook Dario awake. He saw how confused Dante looked and for some weird reason, he didn't believe a thing of what he had seen.Suddenly, the flashes of her naked body with Dario flashed in his mind and he gritted his teeth in anger."Mrs. Rodrio, are you trying to get back at your husband by cheating on him with his best friend?" One of the reporters asked.Natalie's eyes widened as he saw her grip Da

She froze. "Sorry for what, Dario?""Maybe if I hadn't encouraged you that day to go after him, If I had just slept with you that day then we would have ended up together," he murmured.Natalie frowned. "What are you talking about, Dario? Why are you bringing up the past?"He was looking at her but she was so sure he wasn't seeing her. She was sure he was in a reverie, probably transported back to ten years ago when she had gone to seduce him in his room."Dario?""If you had married me instead you won't be going through this pain. And I'm rich also just like Dante. Why did I ever push you away," he continued talking like he wasn't seeing her."Dario, what is wrong with you?" She asked sitting up.He ignored her and continued talking. "Perhaps, I can redeem that situation by making you mine. It's not too late."Her eyes widened. "The fuck are you talking about? It's fucking lat..."Her eyes were huge as she felt his soft lips on hers and his hands roaming around her body.She tried to

They stepped into the board meeting where the entire board of directors was waiting and the news playing on the television was the same news from earlier."Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigo," the assistant board chairman smiled at them.Natalie nodded as they hurriedly turned off the television.Quickly, they took their seats and she sat down beside her husband."The shares are falling drastically, Mr. Rodrigo!" one of the board members exclaimed."I think this video of you and your wife has gone viral!" Another added."Oh my gosh! This is a scandal associated with this company," someone chirped in."You need to address this matter as soon as possible, Mr. Rodrigo," someone added.Soon everyone was talking and he couldn't hear anyone again. He tried to calm them down but they were in full panic mode.Natalie wiggled out of his arms as she headed for the door."Where are you going, love?" He asked surprised.She shook her head. "I have to leave this place. I can't stay here any longer.""B
