Lucas sat in his office, his mind a rollercoaster of thoughts. Ever since his encounter with Janette, he had been finding it hard to think straight. He would zone out at intervals, and his best friend, Alan could do nothing but watch him.

“You do know sulking and getting lost in your world wouldn’t bring her back, right?” Alan tapped Lucas, who sucked in a breath.

“I have pleaded, Alan. I pleaded with her to forgive me, but she acts like I don’t even exist.” he replied and Alan merely shook his head.

“You need to see things from her own perspective, dude. Do you have any idea the weight of what she went through? She could have gone through emotional trauma. Who knows whether she even suffered depression? She left the city and is back now after making a name for herself. Do you have any idea what she had to endure to come this far? You don’t expect her to run into your arms simply because you apologized.” Alan explained.

Lucas thought about his words. “You might be right,

    My breath caught in my throat. I opened my mouth to speak but what came out was an annoying squeak instead. Alan smirked and pulled away, laughing slightly. I exhaled, realizing that I had been holding my breath all this while.“Jeez! You’re totally at a loss for words,” he said, taking a step away from me. “If you keep looking at me like that and Father sees you, he will think I’m bullying you again.”I blinked and cleared my throat. “Uh…” I knew I was flushed right now and the last thing I wanted was for Alan to make a fun of me because of it. “I-I’ll be in my room, red riding hood.” I muttered in mockery of his red hair and didn’t wait for him to say anything else before running into my room.“Just know I’ll get you back for this prank!” he yelled after me.I slammed my door shut and leaned my back on it, my heart pounding in my chest — this time not due to fear, but a rush of different emotions at the same time. With my back still plastered on the wall, my thoughts drifted to wha

    Samantha was speechless as she stared at Mia. How on earth? “You sent that video to Yasmeen with my phone? How is that even possible?” Mia sighed. “I heard when you two were arguing about the video and I could sense her fear. Yasmeen is someone who loves reputation more than anything. If she sees that you have a bad reputation, she wound cut off from you immediately so I had to take my chance. That was why I borrowed your phone that night. I wanted to send to video to myself but unfortunately, if didn’t go through so I had to send it to Yasmeen on your behalf.” she explained. “That was so wrong,” Aiden spoke up. “You made it look like Samantha did it. Besides, Samantha already promised Estella she wasn’t going to send it.” Samantha sighed. “Aiden is right, Mia. Estella hates me more now because of that.” “I’m sorry, but that was the only way to get rid of her and it worked,” she said but Samantha and Aiden didn’t look pleased. “I know it wasn’t the best way but I got fed up with

    088.“She fucking broke up with me!” Liam kicked the chair in his office to the floor. He grabbed his laptop and threw it at the wall.“You have to calm down, Liam.” Victor stepped forward.“Calm down?” Liam yelled, his eyes red with anger. “You're asking me to calm down! I just lost a valuable asset and you're asking me to calm down? If she goes back to the man called Lucas, I'm done. Dad will have my head. The Blackwood's inheritance will partly be his own and you know how big even a quarter of it is. Now look at the half!!!”Victor sighed. “I understand your frustration but scattering and destroying things won't get you anywhere. We have to find another way to get her to marry you, so sit and let's think instead of destroying your own office.”Liam groaned and pushed everything on his table to the ground. He used his hands to sweep away the paperworks and documents... everything flying to the ground. He ruffled his hair aggressively. “

    087.“Janette, you can't be serious, right? You're pranking me, aren't you?” Liam chuckled awkwardly. “Alright, this isn't the time for pranks, okay? Come on, say what you've always wanted to say to me.” Janette sighed and licked her lips. “You want me to say what I've always wanted to say to you?” she asked and he nodded. “Alright, I will,” her eyes met with his. “I'm really grateful for everything you've done for me, Liam. When I had no one, you stood by me and took me in. You made me achieve my dreams of becoming a successful doctor. All these years, I've mistaken gratitude for love. I'm sorry to tell you this now but I don't love you, Liam. I never did,” she bit her lower lip, each of her word cutting through Liam like a knife. “Of course I cared for you and liked you, but I didn't love you romantically. I thought I did, but turns out, I was just playing along with your feelings because I didn't want to hurt you; because I saw you as my savoir. I'm sorry. I sh

    086.Rosa blinked at Janette. “Huh?” she asked, not sure where the question was coming from.“You used to tell me that Liam was up to no good, and that he wasn't what he portrayed himself to be. Tell me everything you know about him, please. I don't want to make a mistake I might regret.” she pleaded.Rosa was happy Janette was finally returning to her senses. “Well, I don't know much, but I already told you it's by instincts and my instincts are never wrong,” she said and Janette nodded. “The first time I got hired and met him, I thought he was actually a nice person, but I started discovering that he was too secretive. You were too comfortable around him to notice.”“Uh-huh.” Janette urged her to continue. She needed to know the truth today.Rosa licked her bottom lips. “Back at Chicago, I always see him making strange calls. From what I heard, I think he wants something from you, but I have no idea what it is. I don't know who he talks to during those times, but he keeps saying he

    085.“You've got to be kidding me, right?” Lucas asked, his fists balled. What the heck was Bella up to this time?Bella scoffed with her arms folded. “I kid you not, Lucas. Dave is your son, and it's time you took responsibility for him.”Janette blinked at whatever was happening. Dave was Lucas' son? Why didn't Bella reveal it all along? Why now when she and Lucas had settled their differences? Janette couldn't help but suspect that something was fishy, but her heart was pounding in her chest at the possibility that this could actually be true. Besides, he was having an affair with Bella behind her back. They must have had done something once or twice.Lucas noticed that Janette was tensed and he stepped forward. “What stunt are you trying to pull, Bella? You and I know that we did nothing two years ago. I always turned down your advances. You can't just tell me you have my son. Look at the boy, are there any of my features? The boy doesn't look like me at all.”Bella sneered. “Oh,

You can rest for a week before returning to work.” Janette instructed and Lucas nodded with a smile.“Oh, thank you so much, Jane. You're a lifesaver.” Genevieve hugged her.Janette chuckled. “Don't thank me. Thank all the doctors and nurses who took care of him. If it weren't for Dr. Hill who found out there was poison, we wouldn't have known how to identify it.”Aunt Maryanne smiled. “Still, you contributed greatly. It's hard to see a CEO who's this dedicated and even does more work than her employees.”Janette blushed. “Oh, Auntie.” she smiled and her gaze with that of Lucas.Lucas was so tempted to hug her right now but there were nurses in the ward. After the nurses left, he wanted to do what he has been thinking of but...“Daddy!” An adorably cute voice sounded from the doorway. Sophia stood with Ethan beside her and Ethan rushed into Lucas's arms.Janette was shocked to see hi

When you're all better, we can find a way to find the Blackwood heiress together.” Reynold suggested.Dean got down from the bed and walked toward the window. He gazed at the city and let out a sigh before turning to look at Reynold. “Before the Blackwood family was murdered twenty five years ago, Mr. Blackwood gave me the will to look after for him. He had already willed everything to his only child and entrusted the child to me. He made me promise never to give it to anyone, and I am still holding onto that promise today.”“I felt like he knew he was going to die that day, that's why he gave that child to me and made me promise never to let the will get in the wrong hands. Knowing the kind of danger she was, I put her in an orphanage and watched her. Then I got involved in an accident, only for me to wake up and discover that she had been adopted. I tried to follow it up and there was no trace. I

    082.“She really did?” Victor asked, his eyes wide in surprise. If what Liam said was true, then Janette was really in love with Lucas. Liam ruffled his hair aggressively, his face twisted into a snarl. “That Lucas! Gosh, if only that poison can just finish him off then I'll know I have nothing to worry about. Janette and I were perfectly fine before he came into the picture. I regret returning to New York. We would have just stayed in Chicago and I would have married her before we came here.”Victor licked his lower lip. “So what are you going to do now?”Liam steepled his fingers. “I didn't want to do this from the start, but I guess I have to. I already called her and asked her to go with the second plan, once that is established, I will know what to do next. We need to cause a rift between them immediately; something from the past that might trigger Janette and make her hate him.”“Wouldn't you be hurting her then?” Victor asked.Liam glared at him. “I think it's time you stopped
