Noah's little sneeze wakes Rowan up from his sleep. It is 7 A.M. in the morning and the little child seems to have caught a cold.Rowan places his hand on his forehead checking Noah's temperature. But he isn't running a temperature. He gets up from his bed, goes down to the kitchen and warms up a bowl of milk which he later transfers to a glass.On his way back to his room, he finds Victoria sitting at the front of his door with her knees bucked to her chin and her arms wrapping around them."What are you doing here?" He growls at her, angry at the sight of her."So now, I can't see my own child anymore? Do you think it is easy for me...." She tries to say but Rowan cuts her off instantly not giving her a chance to complete her words."Noah does not need you to be with me. I should be the one bonding with him and not you. The only reason why I brought you here is for him not to feel lonely and lose his motherly love," Rowan reminds her and she presses her lips into a thin line, frustr
Dear readers, thank you for following up my book especially those that leave a comment after each chapter...I recognize your sweet efforts DANCING STAR...I will keep updating and keep you all captivated as more chapters come ❣️. thank you 😊 After preparing for the day, Astrid drives down to Rose's house to pick her up for their day's shopping.On getting to her house, Astrid revs her engine and rose comes out of her balcony and yells out loud. "Go girl. Give me a minute." She goes back inside and throws all the necessary things she needs inside her mini black Christian Dior bag.She runs down in her red bottom heels and pauses a feet apart from Astrid's car, admiring her sweet ride. Astrid roars her engine like a badass woman knowing how much her best friend loved the sound of killer engines."This is it. The life I have lost is finally back. I won't lie, that bitch Rowan brought to your home did you good. My baby is back," Rose chimes excitedly and Astrid laughs cheerfully.It ha
Happy weekend, dear readers❤️"Please, let us off this once. I didn't mean to cause trouble. My girlfriend was only trying to act foolishly and I apologize for that," the young man begs exempting himself from the situation.His girlfriend stares at him in astonishment. She had no idea that he would dump her off just to save his ass.All of this was his doing just so he could show off to his friends. However, the young girl exaggerated her role and landed both of them in trouble."So now you know how to beg? What happened to that insolent tone of yours? Both of you are going in for the damages you caused to the employees," Astrid says firmly."We are sorry for the nuisance we caused. We did not intend to create such...""I don't need your excuses. You not only humiliated the employees but also assaulted them verbally and physically. If I hit you and call you the names you used on them, do you think your mental health will remain the same? These employees are trying their best to please
Hello dearies, we have been apart for so long... hope you enjoyed your weekend ❣️ the week is about get hot with more interesting updates ☺️ let's root for our female lead 😁 "what do you think you are doing?!" Astrid finally found her voice but Rowan slammed his hand on her mouth, muffling her scream.She struggled to break free from him but he was too strong for her. But she refused to give up so easily because of his strength over her.Biting down his palm, she dug her pointy heel on his shoe. Rowan frowned in pain but that only made him tighten his grip on her.He used his other hand to pin her waist against the wall, digging his nails into her skin until she was unable to bear the pain and stopped her harm on him."Are you done being stubborn?" He asked in a dark hushed voice that sent chills down her Spine.Astrid knew that Rowan was scary and had a dark side that he only kept to himself. But never did she think that he was dangerous.The aura he was emitting while holding her
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE, COMMENT AND LIKE... THANK YOU!!!After encountering Rowan at the mall, Astrid's mood turned gloomy. She was completely distracted by her thoughts and barely paid attention to Rose's conversation.Noticing her dazed friend, she snapped her fingers at her face and brought her back to reality. "Down to earth baby girl. You are very much distracted today. Is there anything bothering you?" She asked with concern written on her forehead."I am okay. It's just that... Rose, how possible is it to get rid of a man completely without anyone noticing his disappearance?" She asked with a serious face that got Rose curious."You have to be specific about the kind of elimination.""The kind where he disappears from the surface of the earth," she said with an irritated tone.Rowan's uncultured behavior has been getting to her lately. He doesn't know when to stop and has been pestering her every single day.Aside from meeting her physically, he has been sending her text message
The OSAKA dinner party was in full buzz across the city of Los Angeles. Celebrities, highly distinguished guests, fans and the paparazzi would be gathered at the event's venue.It was one of the best events that kicked off during the mid-summer of June. Fashion statements making headlines, famous celebrities capturing the hearts of their fans and most importantly, the overall turnout of it. Victoria knew about the event and was pretty sure Rowan would attend it since he was a co-host/sponsor of the dinner.She walked back and forth in her room thinking of different ways to convince Rowan to take her with him to the event tomorrow.The maid who was in the room with her stood on her toes afraid that Victoria would lash out on her. Lately, she has been cranky for no reason and has fired five workers within two days.Initially, the maid had come to take care of Noah but met Victoria who told her not to bother about him since he was asleep. The maid dared not to question her or even argue
Rowan quickly destroyed the drawer, fear engulfing him as he carried Noah out of the small cramped space.His hands trembled as he rushed down the stairs, Chef Gladline meeting him on the way with his dinner.She exclaimed in shock as Rowan stopped in front of her, his face was pale like he had seen a ghost and his body quivered as held unto his son.Chef Gladline hurriedly took the child away from him as Rowan was not in the right state of mind to care for him. She could tell how terrified he was to lose to the hands of death again. He suffered it once and was almost driven to the point of emptiness.Once she confirmed that Noah was still breathing, she carried him up to Rowan's and sent some maids to bring a towel and call the family doctor.While Chef Gladline handled Noah's situation, Rowan stormed down to Victoria's room. He barged in on her, while she was still fresh from the shower."Rowan, is there something you need?" She asked with a smile, thinking he came to apologize to h
Happy new month everyone, I hope you all are enjoying your Holiday? it is the Halloween season 😀 and I will be gracing you all with interesting chapters everyday. Enjoy 😊 The next morning, Rowan's secretary arrived at his house early. Due to the OSAKA dinner, he had to cross check everything, making sure that event plan was intact."Good morning, Mr. Wade. I hope I am not interrupting anything important," his secretary enquired as he strode into his boss's room."No, you are not. Proceed with what you have," Rowan replied, carrying his sleeping son in his arms. Throughout the night, he was unable to get a proper sleep.It turns out that his son had nightmares and he witnessed it last night. Rowan felt distraught by the knowledge and has been watching out for Noah."Sir, the event settings are all in place and all the guests invited responded positively," "Including her?" Rowan asked and his secretary nodded, knowing who he was referring to."Alright, I need to take Noah to the hos
Hi, everyone, I know you all have been waiting for an update. I have not been feeling too well and have been preoccupied with too much school work. I need to visit my doctor for a checkup and get treated. please I hope you all can bear with me. Thank you 🙏."Agent Luna, thank goodness you are finally here. We are in a tight situation right now. Please, we need you to dissolve the matter outside before the General arrives," a comrade from Luna's squad said.Luna strode over to the commotion happening outside."What is going on here?!" she yelled at the top of her voice and everyone went silent."You there," she pointed at one of them. "What's the problem?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes in an intimidating way.The comrade lady shuddered under her menacing gaze. Without hesitation, she narrated the situation to her."Ma, This woman keeps insisting to see the General. According to her, she has an affair with the General, which we all know is impossible!" Luna looked at the woman af
The General led Rowan into his office, offered him tea which refused because he never consumed anything not made by his wife, Astrid or chef Gladine."Let's make things clear before anything else," the general said, pouring himself a glass of wine. He didn't bother to offer some to Rowan since he refused his tea. The General was petty when it came to little things like this. But only to others except his beloved wife, Astrid's cousin."I only granted your enrollment because my wife wanted it. She is the only reason why I am being of help to you. However, if you make things get out of hand, I will not hesitate to send you our of the base. Avoid the General Scott at all cost. I am not a fan of his. So, try not to get caught while getting back your wife," he said with a stern voice.Rowan looked at him unbothered about what he had just told him. He readjusted his sleeves and snatched the General's bottle of wine."You have nothing to worry about in my business. As for the scum who kidna
"I want my wife back. Whether she is hidden in a military base or not, I am going to tear it down once I find her," Rowan said with a cold voice. Astrid's father managed to penetrate through the military base she had stayed during her serving. He had some connections that helped him locate Astrid's whereabout.When they heard she was safe, they felt relieved of their worry. Now, they were planning on how to bring her back.According to the Intel from the military, Astrid seemed like a totally different person. She didn't even recognize him the first time he met her.Astrid's cousin had married a military General. Her father had reached out to them after Rowan had suggested the military."Well, Mr. Wade, if you want to get your wife back then you have to serve at the military temporarily. I am only giving you this information because Astrid is my dear cousin. second of all, my husband is not too kind to extend the opportunity until tomorrow," Amber said over the phone. She's Astrid's
Victoria cackled diabolically after revealing the truth about Noah not being his biological son.For a while, Rowan suspected this but he loved Noah so much to bring himself to believe it."So what if he is not my son?" Rowan growled back at Victoria shocking her with his reaction. "No matter who birthed him, Noah will always be my son. He doesn't deserve a mother like you," Rowan said, making it clear to her that Noah belonged to him."Arghh! Why do you make everything seem like it's nothing? So you don't care about that bastard child not being your blood?" she scoffed in disbelief, frustrated by his nonchalant attitude."I don't. You and his bastard sperm donor abandoned him already. I have custody over him and will make him part of the Wade family, direct heir to my Empire," he said, taking menacing steps towards Victoria."You think I don't know about your plan to kill me and take over my property. You staged that accident didn't you?" He asked with an intimidating voice.Victoria
Cheers to a new word count 🥳 I am so glad that my book has progressed to this extent. Stay for more chapters.The next day, at the Wade mansion, Victoria was excessively destructive. She broke a lot of expensive ceramic vases, ruined paintings while causing a nuisance that terrified everyone in the house.Rowan and Noah had slept at the guest house since little Noah couldn't fall asleep after having a terrifying experience last night. No one has told him about Victoria's attempt to hurt Noah but ended up stabbing Chef Gladine.When he walked into the main mansion, meeting the chaotic scene, his mood darkened with anger.Victoria was about to smash an expensive artifact that Rowan's grandmother had given him as one of the important heirlooms in the Wade family.He trudged over to her, grabbed her arm roughly, and prevented her from further destruction."Are you out of your godman mind?!" he barked, intensifying the atmosphere more.Victoria backed away from him with a scowl on her f
"The treatment must go on," Scott declared with low threatening voice. His study room was gloomy, making it impossible for the visiting doctor to feel comfortable."But Sir, the treatment will only damage her brain more. She has suffered from a mild amnesia before. There is a high chance of her nerves breaking down if you persist with the treatment. As of current, no one has—" Scott cut him off rudely."Doctor Ray, haven't I given you enough money? Or do want more? I can top it to whatever amount you desire. All I want is for you to make sure she never regains her memory again." He looked at the doctor with a warning glare in his eyes, making sure that he understood his signals before he flashed a fake smile.The doctor was scared out of wits. He dared not go ahead Scott's command. Even if it was to the detriment of another person."I am glad that you understand my point of view, Dr. Ray. Now, if you would excuse me, I have tons of work to do," He said dismissively.Once the doctor le
"What have you done?" Chef Gladine groaned in pain as she slides to the floor. Victoria stepped back, realizing what she had done in a fit of anger.She threw the blood stained knife on the floor, glanced at Noah before pointing her fingers at the Chef."You did this to yourself. I have no hand in this so find a way to fixed your mess," she blurted out with a trembling voice, before storming off to her room.The maids around rushed to Chef Gladine's aid leaving Noah behind.He had just witnessed his mother stab someone because of her hatred for him. The little boy felt broken from the thought and couldn't help but feel guilty for what happened to Chef Gladine.Even in the midst of castatsrophy, the little boy didn't let his fear consume him. He looked for the nearest telephone in the house, and called his father.Rowan answered instantly, knowing that it would be his son on the line."Hello, Noah. Is there a problem?" he asked with a gentle voice. Although, Rowan had lost his emotiona
At Wade corporation, everyone stood on their toes, trying hard not to step on their boss's shoes.Rowan had returned to his dark version of himself. Ruthless and cruel to those around him."What did I say about the about the chart growth?!" he barked at his employees, flinging the file in his hands on the presenter."Sir...""All of you are fired!" he declared, dismissing a whole production team.Ever since the accident, Rowan has been grouchy to others. He acted impulsively, grew angry at the slightest mistake and gave no second chances to anyone who failed to meet up to his expectation.He stormed out of the meeting room, Gilbert quietly following him behind until he got to his office door."You can leave early today. I will be working overnight," he grumbled before entering his office.Gilbert didn't bother stopping him because it would only get him in trouble. Rowan had returned to being a workaholic.Sometimes, he overstayed working hours until the next morning. He preferred stay
A new beginning...The accident was too brutal. Rowan and Noah were able to be rescued but Astrid's body was nowhere to be found. The news about their accident had already spread across the country.And those dear to them were so devastated. No one could process what had happened. Everything looked like a perfect accident engineered by nothing but a natural cause.Rowan and Noah were rushed to the hospital and were announced to be in a coma.Everything happened so fast in a way that no one could understand. And that was the end of their perfect family.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••One year later....Inside a light room, Luna opened her eyes, gradually processing her environment before her gaze landed on the man by her side."Luna, you are finally awake," he said, buzzing the alert button for doctors to come.Luna looked around silently, ignoring the man who had just spoken to her."Where am I?" she finally spoke up but before he could answer two doctors walke
