"About that I think I might know the reason" Elliot said and I sat up to listen to what he has to say so I signaled him to go on"Here take a look at this" He said displaying some papers in-between us"I found this in your family's photo frame" He saidAs my eyes traced the delicate script in Elliot's hand, a seismic revelation shook the foundations of my world. The weight of my lineage, a mixture of astonishment and betrayal upon uncovering my billionaire lineage, the unspoken wealth concealed by my late mother, unfolded like a clandestine novel, leaving me breathless with a cocktail of emotions."What's this?" I asked showing him the second paper underneath "Here, it's a record of transactions made in your company" He said and I gave him a questioning look"The Cohen's company, your mother's company" He said and I nodded"So according to these there were some transactions made by the CEO which is your Dad to an unknown account" Elliot said and I was confused "Wait my Dad?" I asked
I got back home and went straight to Ary's apartment "She should be at work right now, this is my chance" I said in my head. I got to the entrance and brought out the spare key out of my pocket to open the door. I entered the lining room and went straight to her room. "What are you hiding?" I said to myself as I opened her drawers and brought out everything inside but there was nothing amusing. It's all her usuals that were inside. I moved to her wardrobe and opened it widely, brought all her clothes out, checked all through her books to see if there was anything but it was all blank. Then I remembered I saw a secret locker in her wardrobe the last time I went through her things so I went back and try to find the locker"There you are" I said as I opened the locker and brought out everything inside and placed them on her bed. I went through the papers page by page and discovered she's also in cohorts with Jake Stewart and his illegal drug business"You daughter of Jezebel" I said as
I packed all the pictures and hid them behind my back and went to the living room to see if it was Ary that entered and looked like she was"Hey honey, where have you been since two days ago? I've been trying to reach but your line was unreachable,is everything okay with you?" She asked and I chuckled"As if you really care" I said trying to hold back the tears in my eyes and I could see the shock written all over her face"Is everything okay with you?" She asked again trying to be all caring like she always do"How could you?" I said with my voice trembling a little"Diana, are you okay? I don't understand, what are you saying?" She said faking a worried face"Did you kill my mom?" I asked her and she was surprised at the question I asked"What...what do you mean by that, why would you ask me such a horrible question" She said"Did you fucking kill her?" I shouted at her and she was taken aback"Where is all this coming from? Why would you ask me such huh? Is this what I get from tak
"Okay, if you say so" She said taking her hands away from me "So as I was saying, well I guess you didn't think about that since you were so depressed so everything just seemed normal?" She asked and she smiled while I just rolled my eyeballs and waited for her to continue"And yeah how you ended up working with Jake Stewart, you ever why all that happened? Or maybe you thought he was God sent to take you off the street, just like you thought I was a friend of your mother's when I took you in?" She said laughing"So you planned everything? It was you all along?" I asked still feeling disgusted"Of course, I had to make sure you were in my clutches so I had to pan everything accordingly and looked it worked" She said laughing and continued"I had to bring in my associates to oust you out of the house, that was the first step to my plan oh sorry the second, the first was your mother's" She said smiling at the picture while tears flowed down my cheeks and she smiled at the sight of that
My head banged as the metallic clang of a rod meets my skull echoing through my body, I dropped the keys in my hand and held the back of my head in pain. Time momentarily froze as the searing pain radiated through my skull, also accompanied by a metallic taste on her tongue. And instantaneously, I feel the pain surged, and a searing storm centered at the back of my head. It felt like the world tilted on its axis, spinning into a disorienting abyss.Numbness spread all through my body like wildfire, tinged with the bitter taste of shock. In that harrowing moment, vulnerability gripped my soul as I tried to endure the pain. I feel the world fading away as I crumpled to the ground. And the world plunged into an abyss of darkness as I collapsed."Wakie wakie" I heard a familiar voice say as I felt a rush of water landed on my face."Arrggghh" I said, shaking my head so I could wave the water away. I tried using my hands to wipe the water off my face then I saw I was being tied to a chair
"Having a hard time?" I said smirking at her"You won't last long if you continue like this" She said threatening me but I hid my pain to give her discomfort"Let's see how it goes then." I said smiling trying as much as possible to endure the banging in my head"Why won't you just sign the papers huh?" She said frustratingly"What did my family ever do to you" I asked her instead of answering her question and she gave me a dirty look"You already have my Dad with you, you took away everything from my mom the moment you came into my dad's life, so what else do you want? huh? Why won't you stop ruining my life? You already killed her, that should be enough for you. Why won't you let me be huh? What more do you want since you've killed her?" I yelled at her crying"I want everything" She said yelling back at me"I want everything, and killing her didn't give me that." She said holding the arms of the chair and she stared right into my eyes while tears kept rolling"You don't deserve any
"What are you doing out here in the cold" Elliot asked giving me his coat"Just thinking about everything" I said and wrapped the coat around my body to calm my freezing body from the snow fall.I couldn't get enough sleep last night, I was thinking about everything that had happened. And it all seemed like a nightfall. I kept rolling up and front but couldn't sleep and as soon as the day breaks, I got out of the car and stood out here in the snowIt felt like I have been living a lie all my life and everything just seemed to be interwoven, I don't know who to trust and when to trust. My life all these years have one way or the other been controlled. I was turned to a video game that can be played anyhow you want and in any direction you desire. It all started with the death of Sarah Jordan and now I'm caught between a web of deceits and facing betrayal from those I once trusted. And now I have no idea about what lies ahead of me and how prepared I am to face it."Let's get back to th

I just found out that my sister is into something really dangerous and I'm trying to talk her out of it but she wouldn't just listen to me. I just hope I'll be able to talk some sense into her""Hi, My life hasn't been really great these days turns out I have a half sister somewhere out there her name is Ariela Cohen and she's the daughter of a billionaire and now my sister is set to destroy their entire family she thinks she's the reason why our mother had died and why our lives is like this. Right now I just hope I'm able to
"How can you forgive me?" Ethan said with his face full of regrets"I can't believe this? I know you aren't my daughter but-- but I didn't know you belonged to my brother, I don't know I was doing this to my blood" He said "Oh wow so you knew I wasn't your daughter?" I asked but he did reply"Wow" I said sobbing a little"Please forgive me" he said holding my hands apologizing but I tried to jerk my hand away apologizing"You ruined my life Dad" I said to him"I'm sorry" He said holding back his tears"You killed my mother, your brother's wife, ain't you human too? Huh? How can you end someone's life just like that, ain't you even afraid?" I asked sobbing"I just wish I can correct everything" my dad said bowing his head"You can if you tell us all your plans" Elliot said and my Dad raised up his head and agreed to tell us everything they planned.******"So all you have to do is make her think she's still in control of the game then we'll double cross her" Ethan said explaining his
The office was huge and well decorated.This office is designed to feel like a home, featuring a blend of comfort and functionality. Soft ambient lighting fills the space, creating a cozy atmosphere. Instead of traditional desks, there are spacious, stylish tables scattered around the room, adorned with laptops and personal touches of decorative items. Comfortable chairs and sofas replace typical office furniture, inviting a more relaxed work environment. The walls are decorated with artwork and shelves hold a mix of professional resources and personal mementos. A small kitchenette and coffee station adds to the homely vibe, making the office a welcoming and unconventional workspace. It looked more like a home than an office. I told William about everything that I found out and how I've lived my life ever since I left Athens and he listened carefully as I spoke. "I'm sorry you had to find out about everything like this" William apologized"Yeah, I'm glad it wasn't too late" I said a
As I held the pen, signing the transfer papers that relinquished control of my mother's company, my tear-filled eyes betrayed the deep sorrow within. The weight of the decision imposed upon me felt like an unbearable burden, and each stroke of the pen seemed to etch a painful farewell. With tears streaming down her face, each pen stroke felt like a painful acknowledgement of the sacrifices and tireless efforts that had gone into crafting the business. The weight of familial legacy being passed on unwillingly hung heavy in my heart. With so tears rolling gently I signed the papers with a heavy heart"Finally!!!!" Ary said, laughing so hard, snatching the papers from me. "It's all finally mine after all this years" Ary said laughing triumphantly"See that wasn't so hard?" She said looking at the papers with her"Thanks for this" Ary said and pointed the gun to my dad's head"What are you doing I already signed the papers" I said panicking"Yeah Brit what are you doing" My dad also s
"You killed him already what else could you gain, you killed the man that offended you why not let us live in peace" I shouted at her"This is not only about revenge anymore, this is greediness, you're fucking greedy, jealous that my mother had everything you've ever wished for, jealous she had the love and care that you were denied, you were fucking jealous cause she was happy" I yelled at her and she slapped me really hard on my cheeks and tears fell down from my eyes"You can slap me all you want but that won't change the truth, you are a murderer, a cold blooded murder, Britney Roberts YOU ARE A MURDERER" I shouted at her"ENOUGH" She shouted closing her ears with her palms"Yes I'm a murderer so what, it's nothing new right now I've had enough of your games" She said and went to the table beside her and brought out what looked like a pistol. And my heart skipped a beat at the sight of the gun"You called me a murderer right? Now let me show you how cruel I can be" She said pointi
"Full of rage he destroyed his office feeling betrayed by Marc. But without telling Britney, Ethan made a plan to kidnap you (Diana) so he can blackmail Ariela into signing the company to him. but Ariela,your mother discovered the whole truth before Elliot could carry out his plan. Your mother was pained by Ethan's betrayal so she threatened to go report all his misdeeds and that of Britney at the police station. On hearing this Ethan had to let Britney in on the matter since it was out of his control then she decided to have Ariela killed on her way to the police station to prevent her from exposing her and she staged an accident like she did with your grandparents all with Ethan's help.""But before Ariela died they managed to get her thumb print on the transfer. But unknowingly to them while Ariela was on her way to the police station seeing that her life was in danger she already made an emergency call to her lawyer that if anything should happen to her at all, the properties shou
"No uncle, if you go papa might be mad hug if I go hell surely answer me I'm his angel and mama was his wife so he wouldn't let get suffer so you stay here and take care of my sister and mama till I'm back with the money" Little Britney said to me and I hugged her tightly and sobbed gently"So Ary wasn't bad from the beginning?" I asked Raymond and he looked confused"I mean Britney" I said correcting myself"No, she was a sweet little child." Raymond said and continued talking"Britney did as she said and went to the Cohen mansion to meet with Marc and discuss with him everything happening. Britney was chased out of the mansion by Marc and Amelia like a beggar and she came back to the hospital crying and shattered saying her papa chased her out of his mansion and I couldn't help but pity the little girl.""Britney didn't give up and went back to the mansion the following day to ask her father for help seeing how her mother's health was deteriorating. She met with Amelia Cohen, Amelia
"You won't find anything" A strange voice said and I froze at the spot"Who could it be? I thought Elliot said only Sarah and Britney lived here?" I thought in my head and I turned around to see how it wasIt was a white man around his Sixties he stood wearing a green shirt and a black pants and his hands rested on the long rod in his hands as he stared and I and Elliot "I hope this is good" I said in my head"You know it's wrong to break into someone else's house most especially when the owner is dead right?" The old man said as he walked to a chair and sat down. After sitting down quietly he also signaled us to have a sit. Elliot and I shared a look before finally sitting down quietly on this chair we once stood up from with the old man staring at us"Don't worry I mean no harm,I see you guys are tensed" The old man said an I calmed down a little but I was on the alert"You should be Diana?" He said pointing at me and I was surprised he knew my name"Who could he be?" I wondered st
