LOGINLucia sat at the edge of the enormous bed, with a glass of wine in her hands. Her face looked distraught as tears kept pouring from her large doe brown eyes. “Lucia, drop the glass.” Ettore told her sternly, as he walked into the room. “I have been married to a liar all these years.” Lucia sobbed, drinking a full glass of wine in one go and filling it back up again. “You knew I was a liar, yet you stayed with me, Lucia.” Ettore recounted bringing out a bottle of old whiskey from his drawer, and serving himself some in a tumbler. “I thought Roman was your only illegitimate child, but you have another.” She cried woefully, swallowing another glass of wine. “Brianna was an accident.” Ettore confessed, taking a sip from his tumbler glass. “And Marian, Roman's mother?” “I loved her.” He looked her in the eyes as he said those words. Lucia's heart broke, and she smashed her wine glass on the ground in anger. “I was never enough for you, was I?” she questioned him, hoping his answer
“I don't want to be a bother,” Brielle declined his offer. Right now, she felt so vulnerable, her mind all over the place and not in the right spot at all.She couldn't shake it, that even Jones had some tie to Ettore, though nothing had come out about it yet. She wasn't about to trust him just like that.“You won't be,” Jones assured her, his voice steady. “You don't have anywhere to stay right now, and I don't think you should be left alone in your state.”But he was right, damn it. She didn't want to be alone. She just wished her sister could understand, but Reyna was too stubborn for that.“I'll go with you,” Brielle agreed, giving in to his offer.It would only be for the night, and tomorrow she'd head back, try to convince Reyna one more time.“I'm glad you agreed,” Jones said, flashing that sweet, charming smile of his, the kind that could make any woman fall hard.**Jones' apartment was luxurious and dark…like his appearance. It had the dark masculine feel he portrayed, very
The room was still, for only a nanosecond. “What!” Reyna and Serafina exclaimed in unison. “I beg your pardon.” Brielle spoke, also as shocked as everyone else. “Stop it Lucia, you have no idea what you are talking about.” Even Ettore was taken aback by his wife's statement. “My sister maybe a liar but she would never be anyone's mistress.” Reyna defended, “You must be confused about something, she only figured out Ettore was her boss after I gave birth and she resigned few months after.” “Exactly.” Brielle concoured, slightly calmed by Reyna backing her up. “A woman named Bri was constantly in touch with Ettore during that period, I recall it well.” Lucia uttered defending her claim. She wasn't sure if it was Brielle Styles but if she had met Ettore within that time, then there was a possibility. “Well it wasn't me, I would never be the kind of person to ruin someone's home.” Brielle said, outside lovers had ruined her and Reyna's home. “Brianna not Brielle.” Serafina spoke u
Before Roman could land a punch on his father, he was held down by two of his father's minions.“Roman!” Lucia exclaimed, taken aback. “He is your father.” “Can't you see what he is doing to me?” Roman bellowed, his voice filled with hatred. “Grandfather was right, you are crazy.” Reign said, shaking his head as he stared at Roman with disdain. “This was your plan, wasn't it Ettore Knight.” Roman spat fuming. “Refer to him as your father.” Lucia corrected him, but he turned his anger on her instead. “You always do this, let your husband ruin my life and ruin yours too, don't you get tired of it?” Roman questioned, sounding fed up.Serafina looked at her mother and shook her head, her mom always defended her father no matter what monstrous act he committed and yet again he had broken her trust. “Mother, let's go inside.” She urged her mother but Lucia refused. “Roman don't talk to her like that.” Reyna told him sternly. “You shouldn't talk to her like that.” “You know nothing a
The room was in uproar, people were murmuring, whispering and wondering, why they never knew about Ettore Knight daughters son. Especially Serafina, because now everyone's attention had turned to her. How could her father pull such a stunt without informing her she didn't know he would claim to everyone that Reign, her brother's son, belonged to her. This was her punishment, he was yet to punish her for giving Reyna, Reign's pendant, so this was her punishment. “Isn't that right daughter?” Ettore asked her so sweetly it made her want to puke. “Yes Father.” She replied tight lipped, she turned to look at the face of the Fashion designer. Maybe seeing her in distress would make this game feel more enjoyable. And it did, the fashion designer looked whiter than snow, equally shocked by the revelation. Maybe now she would be doubting if the child was really her's and Roman's. She would add to the game, torture Reyna and Roman because they were the reason she was being pulled into thi
Roman fought with his chains, he couldn't just sit down tied up while things were happening back at home. Cassian had said tonight was the only night, he had to see his son and he wasn't going to let it pass he had to find a way to escape. His father had probably done something at the party, maybe Reign was really at the party and Reyna had met their son already. But what was his father really up to? Why was Ettore Knight playing all these games? Out of hatred and anger for him? “I am back, big brother.” Cassian announced, walking in with a plate of food. “I got you something to eat.” He said placing the food in front of Roman. “What is this?” Roman asked, irritated. “Food.” Was Cassian's deadpanned reply. “I own one of the most successful companies in the country, and have influence all over the city and you choose to serve me like I am some dog?” Roman grunted angrily. “The blondie said to frustrate you, said stuff like this riles you up.” Cassian admitted. “Serafina.” He c
