~IVYI squinted my eyes right after Rach told me to check my email. From the tone of her voice, I could already sense this wasn’t some ordinary business update. It felt more serious—too serious—so I didn’t waste a second. I launched my email application at once.I scrolled to the top, expecting something urgent. But nothing. No new message. No notification. No red dot.“What the hell?” I muttered under my breath, rolling my eyes in confusion. “What other email could she be talking about if not this one?” I mean, this is the only email account I have. So, why is there nothing here?“What’s going on, Ivy?” Ethan’s voice cut through the silence, pulling my attention back to him. “You’ve been acting weird since that call. So tell me—what’s wrong? Who was that, and what did they want?”I walked closer to the hospital bed he was lying on, frustration tightening my jaw. I kissed my teeth sharply and refreshed my inbox again—probably for the tenth time.“Remember when I told you this case was

~ IvyWith my mind still spinning from unanswered questions, I gripped the earring tightly and stepped out of the building.I wished Raphael's soul would finally rest in peace. After all the torment he endured, did he really have to die like that—so suddenly, so unfairly?I felt sorry for him. I had other plans for Raphael. I thought that once he finally revealed who sent him to keep the truth buried, I’d be able to act. I’d be able to fix things.But now, that hope was gone.That night dragged on, haunted by a thousand racing thoughts—each one a what-if.What if Cameil had someone tailing me?What if she’d already sent someone after Raphael’s family?What if she had other plans for him all along? Sinister ones?I couldn’t shake any of it from my mind, no matter how hard I tried.Deep down, I knew—Cameil had a hand in this. One way or another, she was involved in that crime.****The next morning, the servants had already cleaned the room and laid out breakfast on the dining table.“D

~Ivy “Raph.. Raphael!” I said coldly. My voice wasn't even audible because I just watched the only link connecting to Old Mrs Sylvie's death die right before my own very eyes. I turned back quickly to catch a glimpse of who the person was but there was no body there. The exit part was all cleared. NOBODY was there. My men ran there to confirm but they couldn't see anybody. As Raphael's body drained with blood, Rach approached me. “Stop all these Ivy, you are not the killer. You didn't kill Raphael, okay?” She said to me, holding me firmly. I sniffled, pointing at him. “But I almost killed him! I almost killed someone today because of my thirst for vengeance. What if I had killed him, Rach? What if I had…” Rach shut my mouth with her hand. “What are you saying, Ivy?” She yelled. “Don't say such things with your mouth. Is this the time to act smart and not to cry? Raphael's death could be the link we need to get new evidence against that Cameil. Because I'm a hundred per c

~Ivy “Ivy?” Rach asked, eyes bulging out. “You mean Cameil was the person who took the autopsy results from you? But why will Cameil take the autopsy? Could it be that she has…” Rach paused, moving her hand to cover her mouth. I already knew what she was about to say so I nodded. “That's exactly my thoughts, Rach. Why exactly did Cameil steal the autopsy results from me? I think the whole thing is making sense now!” “I mean, starting from seeing her in the pathological department. To her lie that she came for a pregnancy test. Everything now makes sense, Rach! Cameil has ulterior motives against that result. And my instincts warned me about this!” Rach nodded in agreement. She leaned closer, her voice low. “So, what do we do now, Ivy? We need to track down what reason Cameil has for stealing the autopsy results. I mean we should connect all the dots properly. It could be that she doesn't want us to learn the truth. Either she is protecting someone or she is protecting herself!”

~IvyThe hospital encounter was just the beginning of Cameil's downfall. She should learn by now that I am not in any way to be messed by her. I really felt bad when she told me that her baby was dying. I sincerely forgot that she was pregnant. The child mustn't suffer for what the mother did. That was what I had in mind. Which was the reason I stopped hitting her belly and went to her head.She seemed to have forgotten that I loved and grew up in the street. I am strong enough to fight, especially with devils like her!And what happened after Lysander drove her out? I also drove Lysander away from the ward. He thought he could come and play the victim card by telling me not to listen to what Cameil said.I askes him just one question— “Do you love Cameil?”His response was sharp. “No. I don't love Cameil. You also know that I don't love her”Then, I asked him the last question. “But you are getting married to her?” He was quiet at first. He never wanted to say anything. He didn't k

{Cameil}Hearing Lysander say this, my heart shifted. It felt as though someone was hitting me on the head. I couldn't process anything, just a crumbling heart scattering for love.Ivy sat there swinging in the victory that Lysander took her side. Instead of being angry, she grinned happily.“Now that you have gotten the attention which you seek, can you go on and leave already?” Lysander added, eyes locked on mine.I shrugged, scoffing bitterly. “I should leave?” I inquired, blinking out my tears. “Lysander you are telling me to leave this ward instead just because of her? Let me remind you, Lysander. I am carrying your child. And this woman here tried to kill my child. Your child! Instead of confronting her, you are sending me out?” Ivy got on her feet instantly, ceasing the smile on her face. “You know what, Cameil! You should stop blinking out those crocodile tears because they don't fit you!” She stepped closer, behind Lysander. “You started all these. I was having a peaceful s

[Theodore’s POV]I have to admit... this was the first time I ever raised my hand against a woman.And that woman happened to be Lola.Even after slapping her, I didn’t feel an ounce of regret. Nothing tugged at my conscience. Maybe something’s wrong with me. Or maybe... I’m finally seeing things for what they truly are.I don’t even know when it started, but lately, something about Sai keeps gnawing at my mind. They all call her names. They spread stories, rumors, accusations. But deep down, I don’t feel any of it is true.Not saying I’ve fallen for Sai, no. It’s not that. But ever since the day she was stripped in front of everyone, something changed inside me. I remember standing there, watching. I wanted to run to her, cover her with my jacket. But Caspian got there first. And again at the mall—I had planned to buy her that necklace. I wanted to offer peace, ask if we could talk things out.But everything backfired. And now, here I am.Lola planned to kill her.No remorse. No guil

[Theodore’s POV]I couldn’t hold it in. The rage clawed at my chest the moment I heard the truth—Lola had cut the chandelier rope, and she did it to kill Sai.My fists clenched on their own. The anger felt raw, open, exposed. I couldn’t contain it, and if I did, I’d explode. So I let it out—on her.Zayden's voice echoed in my mind, low and sharp through our bond.I told you, didn’t I? I told you Lola cut the rope. Her wolf couldn’t hide it. I connected with her wolf!I didn’t reply. My jaw clenched tighter. I kept my mouth shut, too aware that if I spoke, I might lash out at him too. I couldn’t risk that—not now.By the time I got to the car, Zayden was already waiting. One look at me and he instantly mirrored my fury.“Are we attacking Lola?” he snapped. “She and her wolf went the extra mile!”I started the engine, eyes flicking coldly toward him. “Can you just keep quiet for once?” I barked. “I need to think, okay?!”My voice cracked like a whip. My glowing eyes dimmed as Zayden shr

~SaiI locked eyes with Theodore—and without hesitation—I shoved his hand off me like it was poison. My glare burned into him.“Don’t you ever think of touching me, Theodore!” I snapped, voice sharp as broken glass. “You’ve lost every right to lay a finger on me, let alone speak to me in that tone.”He didn’t blink. He just stood there, frozen and brooding, his eyes filled with something darker than rage—betrayal. But I didn’t care. I wasn’t afraid of him. I wasn’t afraid of anyone anymore, and certainly not the man who once tore my soul apart.He let out a slow, shaky breath, trying to rein in the storm brewing inside him.“I know exactly what you're after, Sai,” he said, his voice laced with tightly restrained fury. “You’re desperate for revenge. That’s why you pushed Beatrice into the chandelier… wasn’t it?”I let out a scoff, tilting my head at him. “Oh, you saw that?” I asked, eyes narrowing, my voice taunting. “I didn’t realize you were watching when I pushed Beatrice. Interesti

~ SaiI didn’t waste a second after that chaotic scene—I slipped out, heading straight to the reception. That was where I originally came to book an appointment with the doctor… to check the health of my womb.But honestly? Nothing felt better than clapping back at Lola using the very trap she had set for me.The same pit she dug with her own hands? She ended up falling into it.That’s what happens when you try to mess with someone who’s two steps ahead.You see, I had to use my head—and not just a little.I knew Lola was planning something—something ugly.She had been brewing something ever since she eavesdropped on my conversation with Theodore.She thought I didn’t notice her, but I did.I saw her when I stepped out of the restroom. She was hidden behind the wall, thinking she was slick… thinking I was too dumb to catch her.But the expression on her face gave everything away—The fury.The jealousy.The burning hatred.I could already tell she was scheming something dangerous.Whe

[Lola's POV]“Okay, I will be there in no time!”I responded, panic forming all over me in an instant. I turned to Sai one more time, giving her that look which was clear enough to tell her that I am not done with her!Then I walked out.As I walked out of the banquet, I could hear Theodore calling out to me but I refused to listen to him. I got outside and drove off with the car. He can order an Uber, I don't care!When I got to the hospital, I went to the receptionist and asked the nurse in charge.“Beatrice Ray!”She looked at me, saying, “My Luna! I guess your mother is in ward 48!”I smiled at her. “Thank you!”Then I rushed over to the said ward where the nurse in reception said my mom was.When I got there, they were still operating on her. I glanced through the hole at the door and saw the nurses as well as the surgeons all around my mother.I quickly remembered how supportive she had been to me.Mother had narrated that I am the only child she had even though she has been in

[Lola’s POV]Without wasting another second, I stepped away from the balcony and dashed down the stairs, rage and panic burning in my chest.“Mother! Mother!” I screamed, my voice breaking, more terrified than I had ever been.The crowd had already started clearing the path. The ambulance had arrived, sirens piercing through the chaos. But I couldn’t let them take her. Not yet.My mother wasn’t dead.She couldn’t be!That was the lie I kept telling myself as I fell to my knees beside her, hands trembling as I touched her blood-soaked body.“Let the medical team do their job, Lola. Please…” Theodore said softly, crouching beside me, his eyes filled with pity.I ignored him, clutching my mother’s hand tightly as I looked at her face.Shards of glass from the chandelier were still embedded in her skin. Her entire body looked limp, her chest barely moving, her eyes shut tight like they had no intention of opening again. I refused to accept it. She couldn’t die like this. Not because of my

~LilyI sat on the couch, wiping away fresh tears. At this point, you'd think I'd be used to it. Adrien doesn't love me and no matter what I do, he never will.He had just gotten back last night, but now he was gone again.Where did he go this time?I seriously doubted it was the office.Then my phone buzzed.It was a message… from an unknown number.“Hi Lily, this is Gia. I'm awake from the coma. I just wanted to thank you for looking after Adrien all these years. But now that I'm back, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave that house already. As you can see, he's happy with me”My chest tightened as I stared at the attached photo. Adrien lay beside Gia, peacefully asleep, still in the same clothes he wore last night.So… he spent the night with her again?I let out a bitter laugh.All the times I donated blood for Gia while she was unconscious… and Adrien never once came to thank me. He never even showed up at the hospital. But for Gia, he’s willing to stay by her side day and night.I s

•ADRIEN’S POVLately, I don’t know what’s been going on with me. When Lily texted, asking me to meet her because it was something important, I deleted the message and tossed the phone aside. I was with Gia at the time.But I couldn’t ignore the guilt pressing on my heart. I kept thinking, what if she’s actually waiting for me? What if she needs me?So, I left and went to meet her.Then the call came from the doctor that Gia had woken up. She was out of the coma.I had to leave Lily behind. Gia was awake… and that mattered more to me.When I reached the hospital room, Gia threw her arms around my neck, pulling me into a tight hug.“We can get married now, Ady!” she said with excitement. “I’m awake… I’m ready to be with you again!”I gently pulled back and looked her in the eye. “Gia… I’m already married.”Her smile faded instantly. Her expression turned cold.“You married someone else?” she snapped. “How could you, Adrien?”“It was a business arrangement,” I explained quickly. “Nothing

~Lily What… what did I just hear? I’m pregnant? One week pregnant? It didn’t feel real at all. I quickly turned to Lucas, barely hiding my shock. “Lucas… did you hear that? The doctor said I’m pregnant!” He didn’t smile. His face was caught between emotions. I could tell he was happy I was going to be a mother, but deep down, I also saw the sadness because the baby belonged to Adrien. But honestly, I didn’t care. This was amazing news for me. Thankfully, I was discharged early. I couldn’t stop smiling, still buzzing with excitement. In Lucas’ car, I kept checking the pregnancy report, over and over, until Lucas finally sighed. “So… what now?” he asked, his eyes glancing at me. “Now that you know you’re carrying his baby, are you still going through with the divorce?” His words paused my happiness for a bit. I slowly folded the report and slipped it into my bag. “I don’t know, Lucas,” I murmured. “But this child… it feels like a miracle. Maybe a sign not to go through with th

I stood up and left the mansion angrily. The last blood donation I gave Gia had been life-threatening and I was still feeling the effects.My head was spinning. My eyes couldn’t focus. Everything was hazy…I struggled to reach for my car door, but the keys slipped from my hand. I felt myself falling until a pair of hands caught me from behind.“Are you okay, Lily?”The voice was warm and familiar—filled with genuine concern.I looked up and met a pair of eyes full of affection. Affection I had longed for all these years.“Lucas?” I whispered. “Lucas, is that you?”It was him, Lucas. My childhood friend and one of my dad’s best business partners.Now a well-known lawyer, it had been years since I last saw him.He immediately pulled his jacket and covered me with it. “I’m taking you home, Lily. You’re not okay,” he said, holding my shoulders with care.“I’m fine, Lucas…” I replied weakly, trying to pull away. “There’s no point taking me home. I can manage… just get me a cab.”“I don’t

~Lily"Are you sure you want us to continue with this operation, Mr. Frost? It’s too dangerous for the donor to give 600cc at once. If we proceed, she might die!”I heard a voice flicker in my head. At that moment, I was so weak, it was hard to even process where I was. My body felt heavy, and everything around me was blurry. Then I heard another voice which was cold, commanding, and painfully familiar.“Does it look like I care?”“I don’t care if it’s too dangerous for her or if she dies. My priority is Gia. If anything happens to her, do you think I’ll forgive myself?”Gia?The moment I heard that name, I knew something was wrong. Something worse than I’d imagined. I forced my heavy eyelids open and tried to make sense of the world around me. The lights were too bright at first, but then, as my vision slowly adjusted, I could see two figures standing nearby.One was a doctor. The other… was my husband, Adrien Frost.The man I had been married to for five years. Adrien Frost, CEO

Bryan's touch made Lucille quiver. He was shy at first but slightly moved his hands from her breast to her shoulders. He caressed her shoulders down to her spine where pulled her closer to himself and kissed her passionately.Lucille held his head which made her towel fall off her body; leaving her completely naked.Bryan was even aroused more seeing Lucille's body. He knew he was engaged and a soon-to-be dad but Lucille's body was irresistible. He rubbed her shoulders with his soft hands as they continued locking lips. Immediately, someone pulled the doorknob and opened the door immediately! Lucille didn't stop kissing Bryan seeing that Rhea was there at that time. She stepped back and Bryan who was oblivious to Rhea's presence pushed Lucille to the wall with one of his hands holding the wall. They continued locking lips as Bryan's found a way to enter Lucille's pussy."Ough!" She let out a soft moan and smirked at Rhea who was dying there at that moment! Her fists were so clenched

What she has done was the beginning of what she's yet to do. Lucille used her six months of disappearance to study each and every one of her enemies. She learned more about them and every step they took. That was how she discovered Rhea rents men to be her sex toy. She patronizes GUYS who fuck women to be paid. Lucille wanted to use this against Rhea that's why she sent the video to Mr. Carl. She knew he'd yell at Rhea but causing a little conflict among them would satisfy her. All of this can't take away how she feels but dealing with them is a sure way of making them pay deeply for all the pain they caused her. Lucille walked down from her bed and took a look at the mirror and later to the luxurious room, she sleeps every day. Seeing that the once poor and naive Lucille owned all this, Lucille couldn't hold her tears of joy. When she looked in the mirror, she remembered her old life. She remembered her ex-life, her ex-husband as well as all the pain she passed through in Bryan

Looking at the phone before her, Rhea's feet couldn't stop trembling. The problem wasn't her dad, the problem was how he got that video.She hasn't revealed this to anyone before so how possible is it for her dad to see that video?"Tell me, Lucille, how will our plan work out if you can't even control your urge? So, you have another man apart from Bryan? How did you expect all of your plans to work out when you go about sleeping with different types of men?"Mr. Carl inquired disappointedly. With his trembling hands and boiling face, M Carl could have done more harm to Rhea if she wasn't his daughter."Give us an answer, Rhea! How did you plan all these? How did you expect all that we've been planning to work out when you can't be faithful to Bryan? To what extent did you go just to have sex with this young man here? How did he tape you? How did we get this video?"Rose interrupted angrily glaring at her daughter with clenched fists. Rhea saw how disappointed her parents were seeing

Kyle didn't expect Lucille to give him a very hard condition like this one Turning against his brother was a 50/50 condition and he has the woman of his life to lose if he refuse to do so.In any way, he has to do as Lucille asked him to. He is in the middle of choosing between the person who makes him smile and the woman he loves.Lucille anticipated his response, trying to figure out what his answer would be.He looked at Lucille with a disappointing face. That was a strange face that he hadn't used to gaze at Lucille before.This made Lucille suspect what his answer may be."I will do it, Lucille. I am ready to do anything to make us work out! Even if it means bringing my brother down!"Kyle said and Lucille grinned. This is the reason he came back, surprisingly, everything is falling into place without her controlling everything.She raised her eyes at Kyle and caressed his face, saying"Very wise decision, Kyle! I hope you keep words because only then will I be able to fulfill mi

Lucille stared at Kyle immediately after his utterance. They continued staring at each other as Lucille started feeling some sort of comfort around Kyle.There was this strange feeling she had for the first time in many years. It felt as though all these have happened before but she can't tell where.But the major problem here is how she swallows the sandwich in her mouth because Kyle was present and also stared at her as if he were her GUARDIAN ANGEL!"Come on, swallow them! I mean, do it! It doesn't matter!"Kyle suggested but Lucille was still silent. He knew she wanted him to turn around again. So, he wasted no time in turning back. He turned back immediately to catch Lucille taking the sandwich in but she already finished all of them in just fifteen seconds."What? Why are you staring at me like that?"Lucille inquired and sat immediately. Kyle didn't stop smiling at her. He was lost in her beauty and simplicity plus the fact she smiled for the first time.He has never seen such
