Chapter: Epilogue "Do you take Edward Beau to be your lawfully wedded husband?" "Yes, I do" she said. She hadn't realized the priest had asked Edward first due to her nervousness.They exchanged vows and rings."You may now kiss the bride" Before the priest could finish speaking, he already captured her lips in a heated kiss. She smacked him on his arm before he finally let go. More shouts of excitement filled the air."I love you" he muttered, his forehead resting on hers. "I love you too" "Congratulations boss" Dana said, Brick was beside her. She had given up on trying to make him fall in love with her. She was going to move on and be happy."Congratulations" Brick said. He was satisfied with the fact that she was happy. That was enough for him.Edward and Lily left the party as a newly wedded couple. It was night when they arrived. They faced each other on the bed. She knew what was going to happen next, and felt shy even though they had done it several times. She was in a saying white gown wit

Chapter: Chapter 37 Lily entered the Savage mansion. She had ordered one of the servants to inform her when it was just Silvia in the house.She didn't bother to knock and barged into the room. Silvia shrieked at the intruder and let out a sigh of relief when she realized it was Lily."Don't you know how to knock?" She questioned angrily. Lily crossed her arms, and made herself comfortable on a sofa. She smiled."Need I remind you that this place officially belongs to me now. I can send you out whenever I want to, so behave" Silvia glared at her. She regretted ever hiring an incompetent assassin. "I came here for something very important. I don't want to spend a long time here. I have some questions for you"Silvia scoffed and rolled her eyes, "What makes you so sure I will answer you?" Lily ignored her and continued. "Why did you kill my mother?"Silvia laughed. "You need to get yourself checked in case you are going insane. Everybody knows your mother died of bronchiectasis" Lily sighed. "I suggest

Chapter: Chapter 36She drove away in a sour mood. Though she had readied herself that Marie could really be Rupert's child, she was still sorely disappointed.She picked up her phone when it rang."Hello Miss Savage. Can you come back to the hospital, please? It is very urgent" It was the doctor who had done the test. She did a U-turn in the direction of the hospital. "I am so sorry, Miss Savage. I gave you the wrong paternity test results. Can you give it back, please?" Indeed, she didn't know the names there. She returned it, and he gave her the right one."I'm truly sorry" "It's alright"She opened the paper and was stunned.Probability of paternity: 0%She threw her head back and laughed in happiness. Silvia and Marie. Those worthless humans. It was over for them.************"Why have you called us here?" A shareholder asked impatiently. Rupert almost snapped, but he reminded himself he had to gain their sympathy. If only he had not lost his position, they wouldn't dare disrespect him this way.

Chapter: Chapter 35"I am on my way to your place, Nana" she said, on the phone with Nana. Just as Edward had predicted, she felt extremely guilty and sorry when she learned her dad tried to kill her, just because she knew their secret."I missed you so.......ah!" She screamed as she felt a car bump into her from behind multiple times. She had forgotten to wear her seatbelt and hit her against the steering wheel. She became dizzy, and her head bled."Lily! Are you alright?" Nana asked worried on the end. The car didn't stop wrecking havoc on hers. It was a bit bigger and was fortified, so it had not even a single cent. The driver, who was in black sunglasses, and face cap, drove forward and peered into her car. He found her slumped against the wheel, her head was stained with blood. He then drove away.Nana ended the phone when she heard no sound coming from the other end and called Edward, explaining everything to him. He sprang up in the middle of the meeting and ran out. His hands on the wheel shook

Chapter: Chapter 34Jayden drove crazily towards the hotel in mad rage. He stormed into the elevator, heading towards the room. The room number was included in the message. He didn't knock, and burst in. The sight that greeted him had blue veins popping in his head. Marie was on her knees naked, giving a stinking old man a blow job."Marie!" He bellowed. She scrambled up when she realized he was there. "Jay..... Jayden? What.....you…." She had no idea what to say. It was sudden. "You have been cheating on me" he narrowed his eyes dangerously. She shook her head."No. I…. I did it for you and your company. If it was failing and…. and he offered to help""Helping me by fucking another man?" Suddenly, out of nowhere, a slap landed on her face. She screamed and she saw stars. She fell immediately."So you are the one. You are the bitch sleeping with my husband!" She screeched. Marie looked up. Towering over her was an ugly fat woman, with thick makeup. She wore expensive jewelry. She didn't need anyone t

Chapter: Chapter 33"Success!" She texted her husband the moment she entered the elevator. He replied almost immediately."Hm. Congratulations. Meet me at the entrance" She raised a brow. That fast?She saw him as soon as she reached outside."I am so honored to have esteemed president Savage in my car" she chuckled. "It was all because of your lawyer. He did really well. Rupert could not win against him" she fastened her seatbelt, and noticed his face had become silky."What is it now?" "Stop praising another man other than me" he said sourly."Alright. Alright. I will keep that in mind from now on. All of this happened, thanks to you. Mr husband is the best!" she sealed it with a kiss, and pulled back when he was going to deepen it. "Are you happy now?" He nodded with a smile."What are you going to do now?" "I will take full care of my mum's company and destroy those imbeciles..... for good. Before I can do that, I need evidence. Solid evidence that Rupert killed my mum. I won't let him get away"

Chapter: Chapter 46Elsie:My arm was wrapped around Iris' shoulder as she supported most of my weight. The hallway was filled with the smell of gunpowder. We had barely made it to the stairwell when a loud explosion rocked the building. Iris shielded my body with her, the debris raining down on her. “Are you okay? What the fuck is that?” “Sounds like a bomb. We need to get out of here as fast as we can”Sounds of heavy footsteps made us freeze and we were suddenly surrounded by men I recognized as Antonio's elite guards. I could barely move my legs so I could not fight them. “What do we do now?” She handed me her phone and cocked her gun. “Call Alicia. Tell her I need help”Gunfire echoed through the air as Iris and the guards traded bullets while she acted as a human shield. I grabbed a gun from a dead guard and began shooting, then it clicked emptily. Fuck!The men were down to two and Iris muttered a curse. I knew her for a long time and she never cursed. “What's wrong?” I whispered. “I'm

Chapter: Chapter 45Alex:“That's it! We're going. She's been in there too long already.”The thought of what Antonio could do to her made my heart hurt. “But we can't just storm in there. It's going to get messy” Cedric said. “Elsie is in danger. I don't care about messy” “Their firewall is strong but I'm sure I can breach it. In the meantime….” She handed me a black flash drive. “I need to to plug this into their security hub so I can gain full access”“If I do this, how long will it take to shut down the alarms and cameras?”“Two minutes, if everything goes well”“Then let's move. We have no time to waste”We drove to the headquarters while Amber's hands flew over the keyboard, trying to breach their firewall. We pulled up about a few blocks away from the building. Amber handed us earpiece. “Put these on. Let me know right away if anything happens”I nodded. “Stay in the car.”Cedric and I slipped out to the entrance. There were two guards there, heavily armed. Cedric took one of them down with

Chapter: Chapter 44Elsie: I sat behind the wheels, staring at the towering building of the organization's headquarters that loomed ahead. After so much effort, I was finally able to get Amber off my back and shake off the men Alex sent to watch me. When I found out, I pretended like I was fine on the outside but my insides were burning with rage. Alex said he would take care of Antonio but I was done letting him fight my battles. This was mine and I would fight it with every strength I've got, even if it killed me. I had no plan. All I wanted to do was find Antonio, ask him why he would do something so cruel and plant a bullet in his skull. My gripped around the steering wheel tightened till my knuckles turned white while I thought of ways to sneak in but that was nearly impossible. The headquarters was a fortress with almost seven hundred guards so I had to go the hard way. I grabbed two handguns and my golden dagger before climbing out of the car. The entrance was guarded by fo

Chapter: Chapter 43Alex:The door burst open and Elsie stood at the doorway, her chest heaving. I cursed mentally. Did she hear us? Judging from her expression, she probably did. “What did you just say?” she demanded, her voice trembling. “I don't understand what you are talking about”“You mentioned my parent's accident just now. I heard you”“Well, you heard wrong. Cedric and I were just discussing some company issues”She stepped closer to me. “Don't lie to me, Alex” Cedric stood up and tried to slip out. “I'll give you two some privacy” “No. You are staying” She said sharply. Cedric went back to his seat, watching us in silence. “Elsie….” I started. “Please tell me the truth” she said, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.My gut twisted and I exhaled. I tried to shield her from the truth but I couldn't anymore. I left my desk and guided her to the couch. “I'll tell you, but you have to promise me not to do anything rash”“I promise”I wiped off a tear that rolled down her cheek. “Antonio

Chapter: Chapter 42Elsie:My phone buzzed for the fifth time on the nightstand. I didn't need to check to know it was Alicia again. She had sent several messages in just a week begging to meet but, still riddled with anger and hurt, I replied none. My phone buzzed again. I groaned and grabbed it, ready to give her a piece of my mind. ‘Please, just one conversation. I'm begging you’I pursed my lips, contemplating whether to agree or not. In the end, I sent a reply. ‘Central Park, by the fountain’*********She was already there by the time I arrived, holding a cup of coffee. I was ten minutes late and if we were on good terms, she would have chastised me for that. Instead, she said,“Thank you for meeting me”I sat beside her on the bench and avoided her gaze, keeping my eyes on the fountain, watching tourists and kids walk around the park. “Do you want coffee? There's a cart over there. I can…..”“No need. You said you wanted to talk, so go on. I won't be staying long” I snapped. She offered a sm

Chapter: Chapter 41Leo:In the hotel room Amber checked into, I sat on the edge of the bed with my shirt off, Amber wiped the blood off my face. For someone who spent days torturing me, her touch was surprisingly gentle. Her brows were furrowed in concentration and I couldn't stop staring, committing every inch of her face to memory. But a part of me was puzzled. When I decided to chase after her, I knew Cedric was a strong opposition. Or so I thought. Since we entered the room, she hasn't said a word to me. It probably had to do with her break up with Cedric.I had been half conscious but I heard it clearly. He said it was over between them if she left. And yet she did. She dabbed a deep cut on my head and I hissed from the sharp, stinging pain. A crazy idea popped in my head. Maybe….just maybe she felt something for me. She looked up and caught me staring. “What?”I swallowed. ‘Are you in love with me?’But I couldn't say that out loud, scared of what her answer might be. Instead I asked, “Why
