Chapter 81

ManipulationGeorge's POVA few days ago"Tch.. that bitch" I cursed silently, pacing back and forth in my office. "How could she let herself get caught like that?"Though I understood that the influence of the aphrodisiac was what led to her sleeping with a guard, I still thought she was disgusting anytime I recalled the scene. Still, I was a bit guilty.Elizabeth had to face the repercussions of the evil plan I instigated myself. Thankfully, Grandfather cared about the family's reputation, or I would have been in jail right now. Regardless, the whip was much worse.Thinking about it reminded me of the excruciating pain I had to endure. I could feel my fragile back ache from the beating. I didn't dare stand in front of a mirror to check the gruesome scars left on it.Instantly, I froze in my steps. What if she told the police I was involved? What if it gets to the masses and they insist I appear in court and face trial?No way... I needed to shut her up.Yes.The earlier the better.

Chapter 82

Valerie's POV"Ma'am, I'm surprised you haven't done anything about that woman yet" Jude mentioned, belching after emptying his glass of whiskey."I thought you already knew me well enough," I said, my tone laced with disappointment. "I don't strike while the iron is still hot like they always say. I strike when they least expect it."My smile broadened as I added. "I want them to be comfortable in the meantime. They would be so shocked when I take action."Jude belched again. " Haha... Nice one, ma'am. We should celebrate our victory in advance."He tried to grab the almost emptied bottle of whiskey, but I was faster than him."You're drunk, Jude. You've had enough" I stated, eyeing him disgustingly. "I'm not spending the night with a wasted man.""I'm not so sure about that. You know pretty well that I'm more active like this" Jude bragged foolishly. "We should get going. The bar is almost empty."I looked around and confirmed his words. Last time, the bartender had called the secur

Dinner InvitationLuisa's POV"Hello, there" I heard him say, making me halt. "You look familiar. Have I seen you anywhere around here before?"I froze for a moment, processing the whole thing. From his words, he only recognized me from seeing my face around.I slowly turned with a perfunctory smile on my face. The man was undeniably handsome with facial features that almost resembled Adrian. Funnily, I hadn't seen anyone who could beat Adrian's gorgeousness."Hello, sir" I greeted shyly. "I'm the CEO's temporary secretary."His brows furrowed slightly. "Oh... Is that so?"I nodded affirmatively, then his lips curved into a smirk. "Well, my name is George. Nice to meet you... Huh..""Luisa" I answered coyly."Nice to meet you, Mr. George" I added, my voice barely audible.A throaty chuckle escaped his lips. "I'm surprised my brother got himself a new secretary; a hot one at that. I thought the other one was on leave."I blushed hard. "It's just for a while. That's why I said temporary

RevelationsAdrian's POVWhat could have made her have the thoughts of eating at the company's cafeteria?It was totally weird and uncalled for. Our relationship for the past few days had been distant, and it stunned me when she brought a tray of food to my office.It was strange, and my years of working as a CEO with many enemies trying to kill me ignited my distrust, so I decided not to touch the food. She seemed upset, but I pretended to not see it.The dinner was just a chance to at least get back to the way we used to be. As for the ball, it was an invitation I received late, but it was from someone of utmost importance to me; that was why I accepted. I didn't even bother giving her room to argue or decline.She was legally my wife, and I couldn't afford to go with any other woman for the sake of peace and my reputation.A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. Luisa surprisingly stood up to get the door, but she scoffed and walked back to her seat. I finally saw Miguel walk

TensionValerie's POV"Hello, Bestie" I greeted, and her pupils dilated, her face etched with horror.She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out."I know you're happy to see me. Can I come in?" I asked, my smile broadening."Why are you here?" She finally managed to utter, her breath hitched.My smile broadened. "To see you, of course. How long has it been? Five years?"Alicia inhaled deeply. "There's nothing between us. Our friendship ended the day you....""Come on, Alicia. I thought you were always ready to forgive" I cut her off, my voice full of mockery. "I'm sure we can both settle our differences and go back to how we used to be.""Not happening" Alicia snapped. "Leave my house."I laughed. "Nah... Not when I haven't seen your beloved husband and your son yet."I chuckled, then added. "I'm surprised you got married before me. Remember we both agreed to be each other's bridesmaid. What happened to that promise?"Alicia inhaled deeply, tightening her eyelids. "Please an

Wrong timingLuisa's POVA few minutes since Miguel left, and George hadn't arrived yet. My heart was beating hard against my chest as I anticipated his arrival. It was never in my plan to meet with him while Adrian was present. I just hoped he wasn't the mischievous type.Soon enough, a knock on the door broke the silence. The visitor didn't wait to be invited and walked in."Hey, brother. You called" A sarcastic voice resonated through the air as George walked in with a weird smile on his lips.Our eyes met for a moment before I looked away."You have just one chance before you lose what your grandfather gave to you" Adrian stated threateningly.The tension between them was palpable, and I was prompted to leave, but George just had to draw me into their conversation."I see you have a new secretary" He mentioned, giving me a wink.I could tell Adrian was furious, but his control was just too good."It's none of your business, George. That's not what I called you here for" He stated

Damages Luisa's POV “Oh, my”, I exclaimed inwardly, feeling uncomfortable. I could sense trouble brewing. I mean, why Diego of all people? The moment I got out of the car, and walked over to Adrian's side, I met our driver having a conversation with the annoying being. The argument seemed to be heating up, but Adrian wasn't moved one bit. "You have to pay for damages or get ready to face the consequences" I heard the driver say with a sharp undertone laced with a warning, but Diego wasn't willing to back down. I doubted he knew who the car owner was. "Pay for damages? Never!!" He snarled. "Why don't you go ahead and tell your so-called boss to get the hell out of here? Get your garbage car off the road." "Are you talking to me?" Adrian finally voiced out, his voice stern. Diego's head snapped to our spot, his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth agape. Good for you, I scoffed inwardly, anticipating what could happen next. "Sir... Sir, I... I didn't know it was you

ExposedDiego's POV"The young lady in there was never pregnant" The doctor dropped the bombshell, and my heart stopped beating for a moment.What?! That's impossible. In fact, why should I stay quiet and listen to such nonsense?"What are you saying, doctor?" I voiced out fiercely. "She told me she was pregnant with a pregnancy test result as proof."The doctor sighed. "Those kinds of things can be forged. It's easy to detect, especially when the hospital's seal is not on it. Most people tend to ignore the seal because of the shock or excitement, so I understand your plight."No way. She didn't just fool me with that. What for?My head was spinning as every other word I wanted to speak got stuck in my throat."Then what was the bleeding all about?" I heard my boss ask.The doctor let out a throaty chuckle. "It was just red wine stored in a ball. She put it in between her legs, and crushed it when the moment was right."Red wine? So hilarious!I still couldn't process the fact that I

Ruined moodLuisa's POV"What's going to happen to them?" I questioned, breaking the awkward silence in the car.Adrian's sapphire blue eyes landed on me."Miguel will take care of it. I already sent him a text" He replied. "As for the video, it's been taken down. Those fools are only going to offer an apology to make things clear. You have nothing to worry about.""I know," I said, and cursed inwardly. What's that going to make him think I found him reliable?I looked at him, and our eyes met. I couldn't stop staring at his lips as it reminded me of the kisses we shared."I don't mind you staring" I heard him say, snapping me out of my daze.Damn! Can't believe I got lost in his eyes.I scoffed, and looked away, praying silently for an opportunity to get away from me. Though, I doubted that was going to be possible.A few minutes later, the driver drove through a large iron gate attached to a high fence. The outside was quite ordinary, but the inside......it was mind-blowing."Where'

Dangerous ideas.Valerie's POV"Jude, have you sorted out my dress for the ball?" I questioned as he drove.He looked at me through the rearview mirror, his brows furrowed. "I thought you wanted to go pick your dress yourself. I already made a reservation for you.""Very good, but before that, kindly release a picture of that brat and the evidence of the surrogacy procedure" I ordered, smirking. "It's past the deadline and they haven't met our demands. Perhaps, they don't want to take us seriously. We need to show them we're not playing.""Alright, ma'am" Jude responded, holding his phone with one hand and controlling the steering with the other. "I'll text a friend of mine now."My eyes narrowed. "A friend?""Yes, he is the one who's good at the tech stuff. He's also very reliable and trustworthy" Jude explained confidently.I kind of had a bad feeling about it, but I brushed it off.My eyes brightened as I recalled something."Jude, what do you think we can do about Alicia and Jason
