Sabrina's POV“Mom, how are you doing?” My voice was low, but I tried not to show the tiredness in my tone. “I heard about what happened to your husband. I'm so sorry” she said. News travels far. Of course, it would be when a lot of people had been made to watch him helpless on the main road before Sam got him out of that road. “He’ll be fine Mom, don't get worried” I assured. I know my Mom, she might freak out once she gets to know he wouldn't be waking up anytime soon. Mom and I talked about some other things, like her wanting to bring me dinner in the hospital. She had been discharged, has an apartment she's living in now, and she's totally fine like the doctor had said. A few minutes later, we were going to hang up. That moment, I recalled something. My father. I needed to clear everything up. Haynes, the thought about my dad, the need to find him, every damn crisis that needs to be taken care of, everything….“Mom, can I visit today? I want to hear about Dad if you are r

Sabrina's POVGrandpa was seated on the stool in the middle of the room, his gaze darting between his two grandchildren. I also sat on a stool beside him, narrating all that had happened with Lilith and Haynes and how everything got to this. I could feel his anger, the way his fingers curled like he wanted to crush Haynes at the moment. And yes, he surely wants to. “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I…” His voice rose, cutting mine off with one sharp and swift word. “No,” he said. “Not your fault, Sabrina. It's that motherfucker that needs to show me how sorry he is” he fumed. “And I swear, I'll kill that ex-husband of yours” he gritted. At that moment, the thought of having to think that Haynes was once my ex made bile rise in my throat and it made me want to puke so badly. Grandpa stood up, heading to Lilith on the bed. He held her hand and I watched. The way his caress was so soft and affectionate made me realize how happy this family had been. Maybe not so happy, maybe all so fucked u

Sabrina’s POV“Please, get me a stretcher!” The moment I parked the car in front of Luca’s hospital, I yelled.The nurses outside quickly went inside, coming back with a stretcher in seconds.“What happened, ma’am?” One of the nurses asked as she towered over Lilith on the stretcher, examining her body.“She fainted due to shock,” I replied, breathlessly.“What the hell happened to her, her face is all battered!!” The nurse yelled over the loud noises of machines and cries in the hospital.“Just get her treated, please” I pleaded, not a hint of frustration in my voice.She went silent, and checked her pulse, then she undoed the first few buttons of Lilith's shirt before applying CPR.Just then, a doctor approached, sliding the sleeve of her gown up to arm’s length.“Move, I'll take her. She's McCorkindale's only daughter” the doctor said, having them wheel her into one of the VIP rooms.Once she had been transferred into the bed, an oxygen mask was placed above her nose and mouth, and

Sabrina's POV How on earth could I possibly choose Lilith over Luca? I love Luca so much, and can't imagine a life without him. And how on earth can I choose Luca over Lilith in this dangerous situation? He will make me watch as he kills her and I would forever blame myself for it. Luca will blame me once he is safe, and even if he doesn't, I will never be able to forgive myself. I can't choose. I don't know how I'm supposed to. “Please, Haynes. Please let Luca go…..” I choked on my tears. “People can still save him, he can still live” I cried. “And kill Lilith?” He asked. Fucking no. I'm not asking for that. “No,” I replied sharply. “I don't know….take me. I should be enough for the two, right?” I said the words like in bargaining to buy rice in a local market. Trying to sell myself off to buy the two siblings of the McCorkindale's. If only Grandpa knows about this, then he would be able to save everyone without me having to choose. “I told you, Sabrina. You'd have to c

Sabrina's POV I saw the text when Luca opened it. Lilith had been beaten. Haynes, that asshole! Luca had talked about this. Heavens! Only if she had gotten out of there sooner. Now, he doesn't want me to come, but I don't give a fuck about his words at the moment, Lilith is in danger. I rushed out of bed, picking my clothes and putting them on in a hurry. I have to follow Luca, because I only saw a glimpse of the address dropped. All I saw was 5 en route, and the direction of the turns, but I was sure another message would drop after that. I sat outside. Kelly was in the sitting room, and she panicked, seeing me rushing down the stairs.“Is everything okay, ma'am?” Her voice was shaky. I tapped her shoulder as I sprinted past her. “Get Sam to call me, Kelly. It's important” With that, I rushed outside. I wouldn't want to forget to call Sam to tell him about the current situation so it would be better if I have to pick his call instead. I got into the car and onto the road im

Luca's POV “I talked her out of it” Sabrina chuckled, thinking about how she had told Lilith not to do what she had done. “I mean, get involved with Haynes. And now it sounds funny that we are in support of what she has done” Sabrina added.Haynes had been damaged, and if the companies he collaborated with through corrupted means decided to press charges, he would end up in prison. “I know right” I replied to Sabrina, caressing her hair. I had found out about Lilith meeting up with Haynes the night Sabrina's mother's case was publicized while I was investigating. I knew she had something up her sleeve, I just didn't expect it to be extraordinary like this. “You must be lucky to have a sibling like her,” Sabrina said. She lifted her gaze to look at me. I was supposed to reply but I felt something spark between us. We stared at each other like we were mind linking, and she lifted her head from my chest, bringing her lips closer to mine. I captured her lips and groaned into the

Eloise's POV"Eloise, what are you doing here?" Ignatio asked, his voice still laced with disbelief and his face in a daze. He quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped his lower part of the body with it. I couldn't take my gaze off, not because I was mesmerized, but I was just too frozen to make a move. He stepped out of the bathroom and I stepped backwards just before he could reach for me. "I came to drop the rules, I signed them like you want me to" I paused, pointing my hand at the document on the nightstand. "I'll take my leave now" His lips parted to speak, but I dashed out before he could say a word. We are never going to talk about what had happened! But I wouldn't stop thinking about it. Inside my room, I curled myself into bed but Ignatio wouldn't leave my head. Sleep didn't find me, all that found me was that man's rod that had water dripping all over it moments earlier. The urge to touch myself was unquenchable. I tried not to, but I did anyway. I walked into the bat

Eloise's POVMilo cheated, and Ignatio can also be like that. It could be something that runs in their blood. But the reason why I was worried about Ignatio was what I didn't understand. It wasn't like I meant anything to him.I was supposed to concentrate on the pile of work I had to attend to on the computer, but that was all I thought about. Not until Milo stepped out of the office hours later, Ignatio following behind him. "See you some other time, Eloise" he winked. No, go to hell. "Yeah, sure" I smiled at him. Ignatio saw him out and I finally focused on the laptop. When he came back, he didn't act like I was there, and I also said nothing. Maybe things should really be like this? Just a boss and staff relationship. **"Eloise, it's time to go home," Ignatio said, standing in front of my desk. I looked up at him. He looked stressed, having spent the whole day attending meetings which he didn't even let me tag along to. "I'll be done in a minute" I replied. I cleared my

Eloise's POVIt was so fucking weird how we spent twenty minutes only to go back without achieving anything. "Why did you do that?" I asked. "Because he won't stop staring at you," Ignatio said as we got into his car. Yes, now he's Ignatio. Nothing else. I've made it up in my mind not to think of him as the Daddy I want to do numerous forbidden things to my body. Before I could respond, his voice rose again. "Don't get me wrong. I'm saying this because it's stupid and highly offensive to stare at any employee like that" he said. I chuckled, or maybe it was more like a scoff. "Of course, I understand," I said, knowing what 'get me wrong' there meant. That he doesn't like the way the man from the restaurant was staring at me not because he wants to be the only one who does that. The rest of the drive was silent, and I tagged behind him till we got to his office. Outside his office, someone was waiting. He was placing his hand on my desk, tapping the desk as he waited way too p

Ignatio's POVIt's Monday morning and Mondays are usually busy. Already dressed for work, I walked down the stairs with my briefcase in hand. I got to the dining room and I was surprised to see breakfast served. There were no maids hired in the house, so I knew that must surely be Eloise. I normally don't do breakfasts, because I don't entertain the idea of waking up in the morning and having to cook before I leave for work. Except when the lady who I hired to cook once a week already has meals stored in the refrigerator for me. I settled down and ate the potato chicken chip, cheese and smoothie that Eloise had made, then I stormed out of the room. "She went out already?" I asked Bernard, my guard once I got outside. "Yes, boss" he bowed slightly.I sighed, walked over to the lot, and drove my car out of the compound. In the Company, Eloise was seated behind the secretary's desk, and when I walked in, she acted like she didn't see me. "You are so rude to be addressed as my

Ignatio's POV She's making me go fucking crazy. Eloise was angry and hurt, but I didn't see a reason to pacify her. If I really don't want to hold on to her, then I should get used to seeing her cry because of me. That's fucking hard. Earlier when I walked in, I wanted to stare at her for eternity, but I just couldn't.The guilt wouldn't stop eating me up. She's 21 for fuck’s sake. I knocked on her door gently and awaited a response. It had been an hour since she walked in there after what happened in the sitting room, while I had gone to take a bath and prepared dinner for the both of us. Eloise didn't respond, even when I knocked again. I sighed. “Come down for dinner, I won't take a fucking no for an answer” I said and walked away. I didn't know if she would really come down, but I hoped she would, and she did. A part of me felt angry and stupid when she walked down the stairs. She had changed into a long summer shirt and a pants trouser. Very decent looking, but I didn

Eloise's POV I felt so fucking down after what Ignatio said last night, all I did was rush upstairs and lock myself up in my room. I thought about it, but couldn't find a possible answer to it in my head. All day, Ignatio had been gone. When he was ready to leave the house, he came to my door, knocked and said he'd be hanging out with a business partner. I didn't respond, I made sure not to make a sound either. He didn't know if telling me to see a therapist had left me so traumatized that I ended up doing something bad to myself, but he still left anyway. All those things failed to get him out of my head, because tonight, I'll make myself irresistible to him. A smirk curled up my lips at the thought and I finally got off the bed I had been curled up into since 7pm yesterday, till 12pm today. My insides itched, and I knew I needed a meal. I went downstairs to get that done first, before I returned to my room once again. After taking a bath, I searched through my closet for on
