“Stop acting like a spoiled brat Megan. Have you lost your manners?” Alex didn't mean any of these words but Brittany's strong grip on his hands showed that she wanted him to behave harshly towards Megan.“Don't you fucking talk to my sister like that you fucking asshole”. Loyd could no longer hold himself. He wanted to punch Alex in the face but Megan held him back.“So it's true. Megan whispered with a teary gaze. It's true that you are nothing but a monster”. Her voice cracked. The frustration and fear were boiling over, each word laced with a desperate need. A need for Alex to assure her that he didn't mean the things he said.“What do you think?” Alex drawled, his voice dripping with condescension. He knew his words would sting, and that was precisely his intent. To drive her away from him not for any other sake but to protect her.Megan's starts to laugh. Her laughter rang through the room, high-pitched and uncontrollable. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she doubled over, clut
Everything has been fine for Evelyn,in fact she felt on top of the world. Everything is happening just as she wanted.She heard Almighty Megan has been admitted to the hospital. Wasn't she so confident some weeks ago? She scoffed as she twirled the cup of expensive wine in her hands.“Ma'am”, the maid in front of her began, her voice steady and respectful, “I have brought forth the finest pieces from the treasury for your consideration. The gold, with its regal warmth, speaks of power and wealth. The silver, with its cool elegance, whispers of grace and purity. Which among these treasures pleases your discerning eye today?”Evelyn smiled. This was what she loves about power and wealth. And with Alex everything seemed even more. Alex had instructed that the best of jewelries be delivered to her.She reaches out to gently lift a gold bracelet, turning it in the light to admire the craftsmanship. Then, she picks up a silver necklace, running a thumb over the smooth, cool metal. After a t
“You see Brittany. I never give up until I get what I want. If one way doesn't work out you try another”. “Let me tell you a little story”. Evelyn whispered, she held Brittany's hands leading her to a seat.“I and Sonia used to be best of friends”. “Who is Sonia? Brittany questioned with furrowed eyebrows. Sonia used to be the lady of this house. She is the children's mother”.“Oh”! Brittany exclaimed she now understood what she was saying. She used to hear stories of Sonia especially from the little time she spent with her father Leonard. This behaviour of her father will sometimes make her wonder if her father never loved Sonia as Evelyn claimed.“We did everything together and never kept anything from each other. She came from a reputable family while on the other hand I was the daughter of a useless gambler who gambled my life away. I ran away from home and lived as an orphan from that day on”.“But what I am trying to highlight is that I met Leonard first, we fell in love”. She
“I came here to get the rest of Megan's clothes and some other things. Only for me to overhear your words about you being responsible for my mother's death”. Lyod's knees wobbled at the intensity of the betrayal.“You did not only kill my mother, you also want to kill my sister. I won't let you, I swear , even if it means me doing the most despicable thing then I would”. He yelled his voice signalling his agony.“Do not talk to my mother like that”. Brittany defended her mother's action.“I do not remember speaking to you”. He retorted.“And what are you going to do now that you have found out?” Evelyn's heart had skipped for a second when she saw Lyod staring at them in exasperation.Lyod was still heaving in anger. He just couldn't take in what he had Heard, Evelyn was a complete monster.“You wouldn't want to know”.“No, I want to. Evelyn insisted. I actually want to see what you can do. Your potential. Especially now that everything about this family is under my command”.“The com
Evelyn had this unbelievable expression on her face. “What do you mean that Leonard is nowhere to be found”. She exclaimed.“What”! Brittany was equally surprised. If her father wasn't in the hospital then where could he be? He was unconscious so therefore he couldn't leave by himself.“I left him under your care and you tell me you can't find him. I am going to sue you and the entire hospital. Mark my words”. She yelled, her veins popping at the side of her neck. Leonard shouldn't go missing now. She still had use for him. She thought to herself.“Shit”. She hung up with frustration. Just when she looked forward, she couldn't find Loyd anymore. It seems as if he had disappeared into thin air.“Where did he go?” Evelyn placed her hands in her hair in frustration.“I don't know. He was here just a few minutes ago”.“Oh my world”. Evelyn exclaimed before running towards the front door. She probably wanted to run after Loyd or maybe she wanted to go confirm Leonard was actually missing.
Chapter 131“Just wait. But we have to make sure we support Alex silently to ensure that he defeats Brittany. I am very sure he has a plan”. Enzo squinted as he talked.“Okay sir. I will make sure to keep tabs on them”.“You better do that. The wedding will take place tomorrow and it's going to take place. Even though Evelyn is distorted because of her husband's disappearance. She wouldn't let anything stop the wedding from happening”.“She puts in too much cunning effort to just let it all slide away”. He uttered with an insipid expression. Definitely Evelyn thought she had won. She thought everything will go as planned but he will prove her wrong and he has done the first part.“Let's visit the wedding Tomorrow”.“What”. Stone thought he didn't hear right.“I have a little drama for them. It won't stop the wedding but it would definitely shake their tables”.“What are we going to do sir”.“Pace, stone. Don't be in a hurry, it could ruin the plan. Enzo smirked. And we are going to u
As Brittany stepped into the church, the soft strains of the wedding march began to play. She paused for a moment at the entrance, the long train of her white dress flowing behind her like a river of silk. Her heart pounded in her chest, a mix of excitement and nerves. The guests turned in their seats, a collective sigh of admiration sweeping through the room as they beheld the radiant bride.Brittany took her first step down the aisle, her mother at her side, her grip steady and reassuring. Brittany was supposed to be Walked down by her father but since he isn't around Evelyn decided to walk her down instead.Each step was deliberate, her delicate heels tapping lightly against the stone floor. She held her bouquet of pale roses and lilies close, their fragrance mingling with the faint scent of incense lingering in the air.As she approached the altar, her eyes locked onto her soon-to-be husband, Alex. He stood there, tall and composed, but his expression was far from joyous. His jaw
"Continue with the marriage rites priest". Evelyn ordered with a sigh. Who the hell was the lady, she thought within her with a tint of rage."Now by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride". The priest announced with happiness in his tone.To Brittany this was the best day of her life but to Alex it was nothing but a nightmare.Brittany brought her face closer for Alex to kiss but she felt nothing with her eyes closed. On opening her eyes he had taken a few steps from her."Something is off about this wedding". Voices erupted from different places as Alex made his way down the altar."Alex, Alex". Brittany yelled while running after him. By the time she could get to him he was already outside."What do you think you are doing Alex"."We are married now. I guess you are happy. Let me have the antidote". Alex sneered with frustration."Do I disgust you so much that you can't even kiss me?" Brittany uttered with a broken voice. She loved
