Hills and Martina were having breakfast together without saying a word to each other. Martina kept moving uncomfortably on her seat and sighing audibly so Hills could start up a conversation with her but he played no attention to her.To Hills, he wants her to leave his house as soon as possible and he wants her to say it herself but it doesn't look like she'd say it."You should really get your bruise treated.." Hills started."Sure I will" Martina smiled, at least Hills cares about her.. That she thought!!"If you care so much about it, why don't you take me to the hospital yourself?"Hills looked at her with raised brows.. She just said something really meaningless that he can't seem to comprehend. He focused back on his food, ignoring her. Martina felt awkward and went back to eating.. She shouldn't have said that!"When are you leaving?" Hills asked again, after sometime."Leave?""Of course! You begged to spend the night here and I let you. You should be planning on leaving, sh
Under the guise of work requirements, Hills made Regina stay by his side. Just like the last time he made her come over to his mansion, he made her work on some files and the ones that aren't even necessary.He wanted someone by his side at his moment of weakness and Regina did the trick. Somehow, her presence made him forget about Martina and everything else.It didn't stop there, Hills fired the PA his mother had gotten for him. He noticed that She was trying to seduce him by removing the buttons on her shirt and exposing her cleavages when she's with him.The sight was irritating to him and he hates when a lady is trying to force herself on him. His mother would never stop until he finds himself a woman and settle down with, which he's not ready to do.Without thinking twice, he made Regina his PA instead.. He saw the disapproval on her face but he didn't bother at all. Part of the reason he wants Regina to be his PA is because he wants her by his side all the time. It's still real
Hills wasn't himself throughout the day.. He has always known Alex to be the flirty type but he never thought he'd try to take it out in Regina.The way he addressed Regina as beautiful.. makes him upset, and the way he held her hand longer than he should,, he felt annoyed.He felt some unknown feelings from his belly and he can't even explain what it means. All he knows is that he didn't like Alex holding her hand. He'd make sure that the next time he has a meeting with Alex, Regina won't be going with him. "So tell me, how did the presentation go Angel?" He asked Mirabelle. He's now so fond of calling her.. Angel and nog her name."It went well, and guess what?" She was so excited as she eagerly waited for Hills response."Uhm... I'm not really good at guesses""Fine! I won a medal, have a look" She searched through her bag and pulled out a medal then showed it to Hills."Wow! I'm so proud of you Angel..! You're really smart" Hills said and ruffled her hair, then pinched her chee
Hills woke up after sometime, feeling much better. He sat up and looked around but couldn't find Regina anywhere. He thought she must have gone back home or the office.He sighed and pushed the duvet away and stood to his feet. He's no longer shivering but still weak. He managed to walk into the bathroom and had a nice warm bath, hopefully, that would give him some strength.He wasn't happy that he woke up and couldn't find Regina anywhere.. She should have stayed longer, so he can at least say thank you.He came out wrapped in just his towel which was dangerously hanging down his waist and water dripping from his body.That same time, Regina walk into the room without knocking. To her, she thought he'd still be sleeping but to her surprise, she met him almost naked.She gasped loudly and her eyes widened in shock as she looked at him. Her eyes trailed from his face to his chest. She watched the water that kept dripping and rolling through the lines of his abs.He has a well built and
On a Saturday evening, Daphne went to Regina's room and woke her up. Regina grumbled asking to be left alone so she could sleep more but Daphne didn't hear any of it. She pushed Regina off the bed and pushed her into the bathroom.Earlier today, Hills had called Regina and informed her that there's a business commitment that evening and he wants her to come with him. He told her to get ready on time as he'd send his driver over to pick her up.Lazily, Regina had her bath and walked out of the bathroom to meet Daphne already placing clothes and shoes down, while Mirabelle assisted her."What are you doing?""Tonight, we are gonna be doing your make-up and dressing you up, right Mira" Mira nodded and they both did an high five.Regina rolled her eyes.. "And if I don't agree to that?""You have no choice girl. Mira, make her sit" Daphne said.Mira ran to Regina, grabbed her hand and pulled her to the seat in front of the mirror."This isn't necessary at all" Regina groused."Of course it
Shortly after Regina left, Hills kept staring at Damon with an expressionless face. To him, Damon's attitude is way too unethical. He went too far and he can't work with someone as narrow-minded as Damon.If Damon can humiliate Regina on their first meeting, then what about when the contract gets signed and he gets to see Regina everyday.Hills realized that it would be best if he cancels the contract. To him, Damon dies not have any respect for people he's going to work with, so there's no use pushing the contract forward.The meeting came to an end and Damon excused himself and left. Hills was about to go look for Regina but something else caught his attention.He noticed that a couple is about to throw blows at each other.. They were quarrelling and yelling at each other. Looking closely, he realized that it's Martina Shepard and her husband, Miles.Hills could have turned away and mind his business but the two look like they were in a fierce battle. He could also see the angry loo
Throughout the weekend, Regina wasn't in a good mood. She kept thinking about Damon and at the same time Hills. Daphne tried to do all it takes to cheer her up but none seem to be working.Regina is upset about a lot of things, first Damon and then the fact that Hills left her behind at the restaurant.It's not ideal for him to do that. She had thought Hills was understanding and not capable of leaving without hearing what she has to say first. Maybe he's mad at her for what Damon had said.Few days since the incident, Hills has not showed up at the Office.. To Regina, it feels like he's trying to avoid talking to her. She just wants to speak with him and make some clarifications. She only wants to make sure he's not taking Damon's words to heart.Regina thought of going over to his house but she decided not to because it would make her look desperate.She has also tried reaching him on phone but all her calls have been passed to voicemails.Being bored at work, Regina went to Daniel
Damon was in his hotel room when he got a phone call from his PA, informing him about the terminated contract sent to them by the HS company.First he was surprised as to why Hills Sebastine would terminate the contract when it was already sighed. Damon became pissed because Hills just belittled him and made him lose a deal worth millions of dollars.He invested much into this only for it to get terminated without any tangible reason?The meeting ended well and to him, there's no reason why Hills would terminate the contract. He came all the way to New York just to expand his business and he was sure he was going to make lots of profit from it.Damon knew that there must be something behind the termination of the contract and he's going to find out.Grabbing his keys from the table, he stood up and left his hotel room. _________Regina got to the office and found everyone thrown into a panic mood. She couldn't understand what was going on because it's so unlike it. She stopped
The whole family sat around the large dining table at the sebastains Mansion, having a quiet and peaceful dinner to celebrate their lady achievements."Cheers, to more years filled with happiness, love, and lost importantly, a life free from those who wanted nothing but to ruin us" Hills paused and stared at everyone's faces, then he continued. "Cheers to a fresh start, a new beginning and a new found relationship..." He concluded and they all clicked their glasses together with smiles on their faces.As if they all had it all planned out, they all drank from the glass at the same time.Mirabelle quickly climbed on her seat.. "I wanna say something everyone!!" She said in a loud tone, getting everyone's attention."Go ahead dear" Regina urged her and everyone gave her their undivided attention but curiosity were written on their faces as they wondered what she has to say."First of all, I want to sincerely say sorry to my dearest mother for putting her through so much worry and leavi
It's been two weeks since everything. The fight, pursuit here and there and everything else. Now, everything bid back to being normal. Hills and Regina already returned back to New York with Mirabelle and enrolled her into a therapy session. It was really necessary since Damon played with her mind.In this two weeks, Regina was told not to pay visit to Mirabelle until the session is over and Regina dearly hope for her daughter to be well again.As for Hills, he's recovering pretty fast. Thankfully, the bullet did not go very deep into his legs and there's hope he'd walk again.Regina sat opposite Martina in the interrogation room. The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence, and Regina could sense the weight of guilt that hung heavily on Martina's shoulders. She cleared her throat gently, trying to break the tension."Martina," Regina began softly, Martina's head remained bowed. She couldn't even bring herself to look at Regina and Regina could actually see that."I'm sorry Reg
Damon was beside himself also and he felt really angry that his plans have yet again failed. He has been arrested after coming a long way. Just when he was about to finally get his target and live the life he has always dreamed of, things had to go this rough, yet again. Damon thought and decided that he is not going to let this slip and he is going to make sure that Hills and Regina pay one way or the other. He can't go to jail. He needs to come up with a perfect plan. As a police officer pushed him into his jail cell and took off the handcuff in his hands. Damon devised a plan. "Now stay there like a good boy!!"The officer turned to leave and just when he was close to exiting the cell, Damon moved swiftly towards him and slammed him against the wall then twisted his neck to the side very hard. The officer became unconscious. Damon quickly exchanged his clothes with that of the officer. He put on the uniform and it fits him perfectly, it's a good thing they have the same body si
As Hills paced back and forth in the police station, frustration mounting, his impatience reached a breaking point. Unable to contain himself any longer, he approached one of the officers working on tracking Regina's location and demanded an update.What is taking so long? Why aren't you doing anything to find Regina? We're running out of time here!" Hills felt agitated. Everything is just being too slow and time is not on his side.First, Mirabelle got missing and they haven't even found her yet, now Evelyn? Things are really getting out of hand and more complicated. "Sir, I understand your concern, but we are still actively working on locating her. This process can take time, and we're doing everything we can" One of the officer said"Time is of the essence! Regina's life, and more importantly, Mirabelle's life, are at stake here. We can't afford to waste any more time!" Hills lamented.Just as Hills was about to lose hope, the officer tracking Regina's location suddenly spoke up, b
As Damon continued to drive, his knuckles turning white from gripping the steering wheel, Charlotte's eyes widened with alarm as she glanced back, noticing the car that had been following them for miles."Um, Damon," Charlotte hesitated, her voice trembling slightly. "I think we're being followed."Damon's face contorted in anger as he slammed his hand against the steering wheel. "It must be Hills or Regina," he seethed through gritted teeth. "They must have found out about our plan.""But how is that even possible? I was sure they left the penthouse earlier today" Charlotte's heart raced, fear gripping her as she looked at Damon. "What should we do now? We're about to get caught Damon. Do something, we can't get caught now!" She pestered himDamon's expression hardened, his mind racing with a sudden change of plan. He grabbed his phone and began typing furiously, his actions shrouded in secrecy. Charlotte desperately sought answers, her voice filled with worry. "Damon, what are you
Hills and Regina followed the police to Damon's penthouse. As they approached the gate, Hills turned to Regina, his voice filled with uncertainty."Are you sure this is the penthouse, Regina?" he asked, casting a glance at the elegant building before them.Regina hesitated for a moment before responding. "I've only been here once, and that was when Damon showed me the house before our divorce. But based on what he told me, this should be it. Let's go in and have a look. I really hope we find him."They rang the doorbell, their hearts pounding with anticipation. To their surprise, the door swung open almost immediately, revealing Charlotte standing there.Both Regina and Charlotte locked eyes, memories of the past flashing through their minds. Regina couldn't help but remember the painful moment she caught Damon in bed with Charlotte, the betrayal etched into her memory.The pain she felt seeing her husband pants down with his secretary in their matrimonial bed. And the mockery Charlo
The door pulled open, revealing a fat pot-bellied old man instead of Damon, leaving Regina surprised. The old man looked at them with curiosity and asked, "What can I do for you folks?"Hills took a step forward and replied, "We're looking for a man named Damon. He used to live here before. Did you know him?"The old man shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry, but I don't know any man named Damon. I just recently moved in last month after the house was sold to me."Regina's heart sank, and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She stammered, "But... but he lived here. He's my ex husband and this was the house we lived in. And just few days back, he took my daughter and we suspect he'd. e back here. Please sir, tell us if Damon is inside. We need to get him arrested. My daughter's life is at stake here."The old man's expression softened as he noticed Regina's distress. "I'm really sorry to hear that, miss, but I genuinely have no knowledge about Damon or his whereabouts."Desperatio
The next morning, Charlotte took matters into her hands as she went upstairs with a tray of food. Since Damon said Mirabelle is now her responsibility and she can do whatever she likes with her, Charlotte felt really happy because this is the chance she needs to teach the daughter of the one person she hates, a lesson. All this years, she has been in this fruitless marriage, unable to bear her own child. It hurts when the doctor had said she had no womb. Like, until she dies, no one would call her mother. She would never have a child of her own. it felt like a curse. it felt as if Regina laid a curse on her never to bare a child of her own. 5 years ago, she had an affair with Damon and that was when Regina caught them red-handed and Damon was willing to divorce her. To Charlotte, she felt Regina is the reason for her childlessness.She's going to make sure mirabelle suffer. She would torture Mirabelle up to the point that she would regret being Regina's daughter.Charlotte would ha
Daphne sat beside Regina, her heart breaking as her friend's tears continued to flow. She gently brought a plate of food closer, placing it on the coffee table in front of them. "Regina, please try to eat something. I know it's hard, but keeping your strength up is important during this difficult time," Daphne softly pleaded, her voice filled with concern.Since Regina woke up, she have been crying non-stop which got Daphne really confused on how to cheer her up.Regina glanced at the plate but shook her head, her voice trembling with anguish. "How can I eat when I don't even know if Mirabelle has eaten? I can't find any peace until she's back with us." Her voice cracked between sobs, deep-rooted fear and desperation evident in her words.Daphne reached out, placing a gentle hand on Regina's trembling shoulder. "I understand your worry, Regina. We're all feeling it. But you have to trust that Hills is doing everything they can to find Mirabelle. They're professionals, and they won't s
