2024-12-11 08:00:39"Stop acting like a saint, Shantala!" Stacey screamed in rage as she stood from her seat. She tried to grab her, baring her teeth but the glass that separated them stopped her from laying a finger on her sister.
"You are fucking tainted by tons of men! So you are no fucking saint! You know that better than anyone! And don't you act like you are the victim here when you are the one who stole my husband! You ruined our relationship, keep that in your mind. And do not ever look at me with those eyes because I do not need your pity! If you ever forgive me, I will hate you even if I forever suffer in the fires of hell!"Shantala smiled bitterly and said, "I never said that I am forgiving you, Stacey. Whether you are my sister or not, it does not change the fact that you killed my son who did nothing to you. Seeing that you do not regret anything, then I shall let you rot in here. I owe you no explanation since it is your husband who messed up. I intervened before to savRelated chapters

"Mr. Devon had been trying to do that but you might as well know that Hyperion is keeping a close watch on her. Our men could not even get near her. But if you want to get killed first by him, then you can go ahead and hurt that woman." Phoebe clicked her tongue. If only Hyperion was out of the picture, things could have been easier. But then, her mood slowly changed when she came up with an idea. If she cannot get rid of Shantala by killing her, then she will resort to using Hyperion. "I will go and see Hyperion," she said before storming out of the office. "I am such a genius for thinking that way." Just like that, she drove to Heartland Company and immediately went to the reception desk. "Is Helios Ranford here?" she asked. "Yes, ma'am. Did you make an appointment?" This made the young heiress roll her eyes to the side. "A Romalia heir does not make any appointments," she rep

Before the clock even strikes 5 early in the morning, the Evening City Garden club was already closed as the workers were busy cleaning after another messy yet thriving night. Within its private rooms, women after women were retiring for the day after their night duty. One of them was Shantala Vien Arceo, who dashed away from her assigned room upon hearing that her youngest brother was waiting for her at the backdoor of the club.This was the first time that her brother came to her workplace even after she strictly told her family members not to go there whatever happens. Worried about what was going on, she got out of the club and dragged her brother away before anyone who knew him would see them there."How many times do I have to tell you that you are forbidden to come here? If you want something, then you should have called me," she scolded Lance. "You know that I do not want any of you getting harassed because of my work."Lance, who was in his senior year in high school, heaved

Shantala took her time walking on that aisle as she tried her best to simply look at the priest waiting for her arrival. She did not like the attention she was receiving because it somehow felt like she was still in that strip club she was working in with all the eyes of men on her. The faces in her peripheral view were only a few but all unfamiliar, especially the man waiting by the end of the aisle. What's more... Her heart was pounding like crazy that she was afraid it would break out from her rib cage. Even when she tried to take deep breaths to calm her nerves, it was ineffective. The sound of the violin being played echoed in the large church but it was overwhelmed by the fast-beating heart of Shantala. With every step, she walked towards her destination while her will of wanting to run away grew stronger but the thought of her sister being in her shoes made her waver. Getting involved with a mafia was already something one should avoid, thus, getting tied with one through a sa

Shantala woke up alone in a room where she could oversee the beach that was stained with fiery orange coming from the rising sun. She had been asleep like a log for the past night. Feeling a bit sore after what happened between her and her new man, she took her time getting dressed before leaving the room, hoping she would see Hyperion by the living room or by the kitchen. But much to her disappointment, there was no one else but silence in the beach house.With the emptiness that suddenly came dawning on her, she started to think that what just happened was simply a dream. That thought triggered a pang of pain in her chest but she still tried to tell herself that the wedding and their first union were real. She was about to go outside but she noticed the yellow note pinned on the refrigerator door."Urgent business. Will be right back as soon as possible," she read. Just below the small note was a name, Hel. Shantala thought that it was probably the real name of Hyperion. But inste

Shantala shuddered at Klauss' claim but she would never want to show that she was still afraid of him. It was for this reason that she knew he would be glad to see that she could still be under his full control. If he sees that, he would make use of her again and history repeats itself. It would be another nightmarish experience for her.Thus, she squared her shoulders and held her head high. "You do not own me, Klauss. What we had back then was nothing but a relationship in vain. I do not want to stay here any longer so just tell me what you want and let us get this over with."Klauss simply snickered as he leaned back on his seat without breaking eye contact with her. He must admit that he still liked how hard she tried to act tough when in fact, he knew that sooner or later, that façade she was building around her would collapse. It would only take a few tries of sweet-talking and he would make her surrender to him like how he did it in the past."I am going to look for your siste

"That's my sister's name," Shantala stated, pretending to be confused at the sudden call of Hyperion of her real name.She saw how the crease on his forehead went away and was changed into a sweet smile. It gave her a shower of relief seeing that she managed to evade that close exposure of the truth. Just as she thought, this man had sharper senses so she truly needed to be careful with both her actions and words."Well, you once told me that she was always away from work. Are you disappointed that she did not attend our wedding?" he asked.Shantala shook her head without saying another word. She just felt like if she commented on his statement, she might get exposed in no time. But in her mind, she said, “You actually married me so, of course, I attended.”Hyperion simply nodded before going behind the counter and filling a glass of wine. He stared at Shantala as he took his first sip and once again noticed that she seemed to be spacing out. He could not tell what she was thinking bu

Shantala stood quiet after and she was thankful that Hyperion did not press her any further about that matter. Only silence ruled over them while she pulled out her hanky and offered to cover the wound of the mafia to stop the bleeding. As she was doing it, she could not help but steal glances at the side profile of Hyperion who was now nothing alike to the man she saw at the altar during their wedding.Knowing that he was this mad upon discovering the truth that she was not Stacey, she was convinced that Hyperion truly had sincere feelings towards her younger sister. She could have still approved of their relationship if it made Stacey happy, however, the fact that Hyperion was a mafia made her disapprove. Not only was he doing illegal business but just like what happened to them a while back, Stacey could be caught up in his troubles against his enemies. That was something she did not want her sister to face. She did not raise her to face such kinds of dangers and would die at any

Hyperion watched Shantala walk towards his bed and sit on the edge."Come on," she said with all seriousness as if she was just asking for some dessert. "We're still married so it isn't wrong. Besides, we already did it before so there is nothing wrong with doing it again."Hyperion could not believe what he was hearing so he remained quiet and simply stared at her with disbelief. He did not know how to respond because first and foremost, he was in no mood to have sex. And second, the woman inviting him was not Stacey so he was not at all aroused even though Shantala looked exactly like her. He could not help but think how audacious she was to offer herself to him.Shantala rolled her eyes. "Don't act like you did not enjoy doing it with me at the beach. Doing it on the bed makes no difference... just minus the sea breeze and sounds of the ocean waves."Now that he was reminded of that and realized that he did enjoy it with someone besides Stacey made his ears burn red. He had not eve

Meanwhile, Hyperion and Shantala were already on their way to the cemetery where Trevor's funeral was to be held. Only silence ruled over the two as they patiently drove through the heavy traffic. But after a few minutes, Hyperion finally broke the ice surrounding them."About what you said a while ago..." he said. "Do you really mean it?"Instead of answering him either a yes or no, she threw questions instead and along with it was a hint of sarcasm and anger."Why? Are you happy that you are finally getting what you wanted? And since that will happen in the future, are you going to divorce my sister now? Should we celebrate then?""We already settled our separation yesterday."Shantala immediately turned to him with wide eyes. She thought that it would take quite some time for it to happen, especially since Stacey did not want to divorce him. "What did you do?" she asked with gritted teeth.But even after a minute of

Shantala grew up as the breadwinner of her family. She worked harder and even sold her body to earn money for their expenses. There was not a time that she thought of doing something that put herself first before anyone else until Gavin proposed to her. He was the man she never knew who would make her feel wanted, loved, and adored despite her bitter past... even though she had a son from another man.However, all she had been fighting for up until this moment seemed to be slowly being taken away from her. First, she lost her brother and her sister hated her. And now, her son also left her. Will she also lose her husband? That question never left her when the doctor told her that Gavin's situation was still unstable even though the surgery conducted was successful.Half a day had already passed and yet, there was still no sign of Gavin ever waking up."He was driving at full speed and was about to crash into another car. He immediately steered to the right

This time, she pulled away from him and looked him directly in the eyes."Can you, at least, explain to me how he ended up like this? I gave way and let him be under your supervision, Hyperion, with the hope that you would look after him... because whether I like it or not, you are still his father. But what exactly happened?"The mafia boss felt cornered for the very first time. This was no situation he could get away with because, first and foremost, she deserved to know the truth. Lying to her would not make things any better.Thus, he replied, "Stacey gave him the poison."Hearing his response, Shantala immediately slapped him across the face. Her hand throbbed in pain but seeing the red mark on Hyperion's cheek satisfied her nonetheless."And you did not do anything about it!" she hissed."I did not know, Shantala. I thought she decided to finally accept Trevor–"She slapped him for the second time but this time, sh

The words of the doctor seemed to have killed Shantala's soul as they replayed in her mind like a broken record. Her sobs ceased and her tears stopped falling down her cheeks as if everything inside her had been frozen over. Without saying another word, she walked past the doctor and nurses and slowly entered the emergency room filled with deafening silence. Her eyes were locked onto the bed where her son was lying–unmoving and breathless. When she stood near him, she held his small hand and cupped his cheek. She wanted to believe that this was not real... that she was just having the most terrible nightmare. However, the reality was that she was holding her son right there and then just slapped her with the fact that it was no mere nightmare."Honey," she muttered, "Mommy's here already. It's okay now, please. Please, honey, open your eyes. Let's go back home. Papa is already here... He is coming for you... for the both of us so we could all go back home. Ho

Before she could take the time to digest the bombarding information, another person entered the scene—Hyperion showed up with his men just behind him. Valerie saw him and her resolution of helping Shantala instead of fleeing fueled her to go up to him and tell him the secret she had kept for years. She also considered this as a way to finally drop the burden she had been carrying as well as to free her and Machiavelli from having to hide and run away. Walking in his direction; she gathered every ounce of her courage."Drop the charge against Shantala, Helios. She... She did not kill Tricia... she did not kill me. I-I actually planned to deceive you that night and run away with another man because I never loved you. It was the only way I thought of to escape from you. And it just so happened that Shantala got there–""Get out of my way," Hyperion demanded. His piercing gaze was cold and the tone of his voice sent shivers down Valerie's spine, mak
Wicked Obsession Chapter 83.1
When Shantala's trial was ongoing, Mr. Devon called the head bodyguard at the residence of his son."Why did you report that matter so late?!" he yelled.He was referring to the imprisonment of Replica A1 and since that woman was involved in Shantala's kidnapping, Mr. Devon feared that she would confess the truth to his son's wife. If ever that happens, not only will their plan fail but there would be a high possibility of his son being already out of his control. And not to mention, Gavin was also looking into the matter of his wife's kidnapping."I apologize, sir." That was the only response of the head bodyguard which simply angered his boss even more."You better release that woman before she nonchalantly opens her mouth," he instructed with gritted teeth. "Let Hyperion deal with her.""Right away, sir.""And keep your eyes on my son. He is already on his way back there so make sure he will file for a divorce as soo

"There," she whispered upon seeing a small black bug underneath the side table. Her immediate thought on who most likely installed it was the intruders the other day. It was a good thing she did not speak a lot about the whereabouts of Tricia's impostor. Not wanting to alert the ones who installed it, she let it be and simply left the room. The first person she approached was the head bodyguard."There is a listening device in my room. It was probably done by those men the other day. Search every crook and cranny of the house to look for the other devices. Just locate them and do not ever destroy them," she instructed with a low tone of voice. Who knows? There might be another bug just around them. The head bodyguard immediately alerted the others and started the search. She could only heave a sigh. Just when she thought she was finally going to have her rest, it seemed like she had to deal with Tricia's double first. Thus, she headed down to t
