"You belong only to me, Mabel and if you try to run, I'll kidnap you and lock you up till all you can think about is me," he promised her and her heart skipped a beat at his words. She was appalled, his words weren't supposed to affect her. Christian Romero, the most powerful man in the country, was supposed to be a mission to Mabel. All she had to do was to get him to fall in love with her and then destroy him to save the lives of her family. How hard could it be? He however turns out to be the arrogant stranger whom she assaulted and who promised her revenge. To make matters worse, she finds herself falling for the same man she was supposed to destroy. Her family or the man she loved, she had to choose one and lose one. Wasn't there a way she could have it all and finally be happy?
View More“I am,” Mabel answered before she flared up. “Are you crazy? Were you trying to get yourself killed?” She yelled as she hit his chest in anger.“You asshole, what would I have done if anything had happened to you?” “I'm sorry,” Christian apologized as he grabbed both of Mabel's hands and pulled her into his arms. He could feel her shaking in his arms and he rubbed her back to assure her that everything was fine.“Don't do anything like that again,” she warned him as she relaxed. Christian was fine and she was as well but that didn't mean the danger was over. “Get into the car,” Christian said to Mabel as he let go of her. If they had retreated just to get reinforcements, it would have been a problem if he and Mabel were not inside the car.He would have suggested that they retreated to his private room but seeing as they could attack him in front of his building, he didn't want to risk it.Mabel nodded and got into the car and after closing the door behind her, he turned and got int
“Feel sorry for the bitch who never misses an opportunity to get me in sorry, yeah right,” Nala rolled her eyes. “I can’t wait to rub it into her face when she finds out that her husband whom she always praises is cheating on her.”Getting drunk in that bar was the best thing that happened to her! Nala reiterated****“Christian, it’s late, you’ve been overworking,” Mabel said to Christian who was still busy on his computer even though it was past seven o’clock.“I have to get this done, Pearson,” Christian told her.“Fine, but let me help you,” Mabel said as she took a file. “No…”“I never resigned nor did you fire me, I’m still your executive assistant,” she stated firmly, not wanting to take no for an answer.“Fine, but I’m firing you as soon as we’re done with this,” Christian told Mabel, who chuckled. When she however looked at the file, a frown appeared on her face.“This was supposed to have been done days ago,” she stated as she started working on it. “I’ve been busy,” Chris
“Are you trying to poison me?” Dorian lifted an eyebrow as he stared at the food in front of him.“Don’t blame me, I tried to warn you,” Nala quickly defended herself. “And I really should have listened,” Dorian replied as he tilted his head, trying to figure out what the dish in front of him was supposed to be. “Is this chicken?” he asked, and a hand flew over his mouth as he was close to laughing at the burnt chicken he was looking at.“I only took my eyes off of it for one second,” Nala told him. She had been looking at the chicken while she was frying it and nothing happened to it. She only looked away when she dropped her phone and by the time she looked at it, it had gotten burnt.“Why not do the honour of tasting what you cooked,” Dorian proposed. “That way, I can be sure that it won’t kill me,” he added, and Nala glared at him.“I have to go and drop your jacket, excuse me,” she said and rushed out of the room before Dorian could stop her. There was no way she was going to p
Claire didn't want her stealing any of the food especially when they starved her and so she banned Mabel from the kitchen.“I didn't even say anything,” Christian cried out.“You were going to,” Mabel deadpanned and Christian decided not to respond to that. ‘Never argue with a woman especially if that woman is your woman, you'll not only lose but she'll make you pay for even having the argument in the first place,’ his father's voice rang in his ears.“You know it doesn't matter to me right,” he told her.“It better not,” Mabel told him.“I'm sorry to cut your little romantic session short but we have a problem,” Dorian said as he entered the office.“Goddamint, Dorian, what is it?” Christian hissed.“Some of the stakeholders are calling for your removal as the CEO and well, indirectly mine as well,” Dorian reported and Christian's eyes turned cold.“What's the ground?” He asked his brother whose eyes immediately fell on Mabel and it didn't take a genius to figure out why they wanted
“What are you saying?” Mabel asked. Anthony not being her father, she could handle but her mother not being her actual mother was something she was not sure she could handle.“The story is unclear but I’m certain Maya didn’t give birth to you,” Christian muttered. “That’s not possible, she took care of me and gave me all I ever wanted. How can she not be my mother?” She bewailed. In an effort to comfort her, Christian walked up to her and got on one knee, immediately taking her hands in his. “She might have not been the one to give birth to you but she loved you as a mother would love as her child and if that isn’t what makes a good mother, I don’t know what will,” Christian comforted her.“I know it’s a lot to take in but I want to point out something, both Maya and Anthony knew that they weren’t your biological parents but there was a difference in how each one treated you,” he pointed out and he watched Mabel nod.“You’re right,” she agreed with him. Maya had treated her with lov
The man waited for his boss to get dressed before he continued. “They almost found out about Dorian Romero,” he informed his boss who frowned.“How did they almost come to know? Didn't they leave the country and cut all ties with this place,” the man asked his guard.“That I do not know, our men there however managed to stop them before they could see Dorian but in order to avoid them coming back we have to get rid of Dorian,” the man told his boss.“Did you look into Christian?” The man inquired.“Yes and there's something interesting you should see about his girlfriend,” The man told his boss as he handed over his tablet to her.“Her mother is Maya Pearson,” the man and the man's eyes widened in horror.How was this possible the man asked himself. Dorian survived and now the other one did as well even though he had shot them at spots that were sure to kill them. Was there an angel that was protecting them from him?If there was, he would kill that angel and finally finish what he sh
“Christian,” Mabel called as Christian drove. “Yes, Pearson,” Christian answered as he glanced at Mabel.“What Anthony said, was it true?” She asked as she didn’t quite believe what Anthony had told her back then. She knew he was a wounded lion over having lost his pawn and he wanted to hurt her as well.When Christian was hesitant in answering, Mabel turned to look at him and her expression darkened when she saw the look on Christian’s face. “You know something that concerns me that I don’t,” she stated and Christian's further expression confirmed it. “Tell me,” she ordered but before Christian could respond, his phone rang and he saw that it was a business call. “Hold on,” he said as he answered the call.“I have to get to the office,” he told her. “We’ll discuss this later,” he, however, assured her. “Fine,” Mabel said. When they got to the office, Mabel was hit with a wave of nostalgia as this was where her freedom began even though at that time, she thought she was being puni
“Take a good look at this bastard because she is going to be your downfall. With that, she made her way over to Christian as she was done with them. “Do you want to know why I brought you here, even though I never wanted you?” Anthony asked, stopping Mabel in her tracks. Mabel turned to face him, but she didn’t dignify his question with a response. “We weren’t joking when we said that you’re not a Deville. You are a bastard,” Anthony gibed. Christian immediately understood what was going on, and he didn’t want to give Anthony the satisfaction of revealing it to Mabel. “Watch your mouth, old man,” he finally spoke. “If you don’t believe me, then let’s do a DNA test and watch the test come out negative,” Anthony ignored Christian’s warning. “What are you talking about?” Mabel asked. “You’re not my daughter. Your mother after our divorce started sleeping around, and she became pregnant with you,” Her father revealed, and her blood turned cold. “She didn’t even know your
