“Please find the location of the person whose picture I'll send to you now,” Maverick said into the phone. The man on the other side of the phone chuckled.“Cousin, which lady are you chasing now? Have Amber's memories faded so quick?” the guy asked and Maverick looked at his phone wishing he could go through the phone and slap the guy. If only he could slap back the sense into his head.Maverick smirked and just replied, “You are such a fool. If you don't come to my office right now and bring your hacking devices, I'll freeze your account.”The man on the other side was taking a bite of his KFC chicken when he heard what his cousin said and he almost choked. He quickly cut the call and picked up all the things he needed before rushing to Madon's company.If his cousin freezes his account like he just threatened, he will have no choice but to go back. And he is not ready to go back to that conceited, selfish, cunning, and cruel family.His heart contracts painfully every day cause he
Mr Winston slapped her again and again until she began to bleed. I mean blood starts to come out of her mouth. Whitney winced in pain. They tied her up to a chair so she can't even move or struggle.She looked up and saw her mother standing just a few meters away. “Mom,” she called out quietly trying not to wince at the pain the movement caused to her mouth. Her mother only glared at her.“You don't have the right to call me mom,” she said to her and those words pricked Whitney's heart painfully. She only looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.“Why?” she asked. “Cause you are not and will never be my daughter. Wench!,” Mrs. Winston shouted at her.A teardrop painfully escaped as she heard what the woman she has always called her mother say. Mr. Winston glared at his wife and said, “Was it necessary to say that?”“Yes, it is. I'm tired of hiding the truth. Let this bastard know where she belongs,” Mrs. Winston replied and Gia looked at them.Does this mean that this b*tch isn't e
“Then call her to come downstairs. Do you expect me to go and search for her myself,” Maverick told Mr. Winston. Mr. Winston gulped in fear before he turned around and walked upstairs slowly.Maverick told his bodyguards, “One or two of you should follow him. I don't trust him.” They nodded and hurriedly followed Mr. Winston. By the time they came back, Mr. Winston couldn't say anything as he stood far away.One of the bodyguards was carrying Whitney as she already passed out. Marks of the tight rope could be seen on her body. Her face was swollen with dried blood on one of her cheeks and there was blisters mark on her legs.Maverick stretched his hands towards the bodyguard and he handed Whitney over to him. He cradled her in his arms and stroked her cheeks. It still felt wet like she had cried. Her cheeks were all swollen so painfully.He looked up, his eyes were red in anger. “Who did this to her?” he asked slowly and dangerously cold.Gia's jaw already slackened with surprise when
“Boss, I bought the shares. Fifty to be precise. Within eighteen seconds sir,” the man said as he called Maverick. Maverick smirked and looked at Whitney.“I suddenly feel greedy. Buy the remaining shares and kick out the current CEO. They have to pay for what they have done,” Maverick replied.The man wanted to ask, 'Boss, what did they do to you?' but he swallowed his words. No one dared to question the boss. “I'm on it, sir. I'll give you feedback,” the man answered before cutting the call.He sighed and looked at his laptop as soon as he cut the call. This is gonna be difficult. Cause the remaining shares are in possession of the current CEO. How on earth will he convince the owner of the company to sell his shares?He doesn't know why his boss has such a quite exquisite and difficult taste. Why does he even suddenly have an interest in this small company?********Maverick looked at Whitney as soon as he cut the call. He stroked her cheeks and mumbled to her, “You should have wait
He looks like he was deeply in thought when he asked her.He was also looking down when he asked. “I don't like the way they treated you. If you marry me, I can provide all the security, protection, and finances that you need. You won't have to worry about them retaliating anymore...,” he continued mumbling to himself like he was practicing how to ask her when she woke up. Whitney smiled when she heard him mumbling to himself. She had been awake since, even when Ann was here. But since she hates that woman so much, she acted like she was asleep.She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She closed her mouth back in pain. Her cheeks ache a lot. She can't even talk out of pain.But she wanted to ask him, Why? Why does he want to marry her? Why is he being so nice to her? So nice that it was way terrifying. She was just a stranger to him. Why is he acting so kind? She is just his employee, shouldn't he treat her just like Tia's nanny? Her eyes revealed a cold glint a
Mr. Anonymous couldn't help but smile as he watched the frozen expression on Owen's face.Yes! That serves him right. He is gonna make sure Owen pays for what he had done to him back then.“A... Alex! You have changed!” Owen said incredulously. He couldn't believe this was the same nerdy guy he almost bullied to death back then. Let me explain. Back then, when Owen fell in love with Alice. Do you all remember Alice? The lady Ben mentioned that day. The one Whitney allegedly did something to. Even I don't know what she did.But when Owen fell in love with Alice, he was quick to notice that he was not the only one in love with her. I mean, which guy won't trip for Alice's innocent but eye-catching beauty.Alice was a very beautiful blonde. One of the best cheerleaders in school back then. She was smart, gorgeous, charming, and simply captivating. What more? Yes, she was also down to earth.Meaning she was humble, nice, and simply kindhearted. So Alex was this nerdy guy back then. You k
“Aunt Lena, we need to leave this house right away. Don't worry. I'll take care of you. Leave Tia with them and let's escape while we still have the chance,” Jimmy spoke. Maverick and Whitney looked at him with their mouths opened agape. Even Lena couldn't help but look at him.What is this little brat saying? “Shut up or I'll be forced to leave this bed and come over there to spank your little butt,” Whitney threatened, and Jimmy immediately closed his mouth.He even used his fingers to hold his lips, indicating that he is closing his mouth. “Now what I wanted to say before this little brat's imagination ran wild is that I'm getting married,” Whitney said.“To who!!!?,” Lena and Jimmy spoke together. Maverick couldn't help but sigh. Damn! Can't she just go straight to the point? Why does she have to twist the words and beat around the bush?Lena glared at Maverick. This brother of hers is a blockhead. After all her warnings, he still let Whitney slip away from him. Why can't his chi
“Why are you doing this!? What the f*ck do you want from me?” he yelled. He felt like he was gonna go crazy. Is this what they call karma?“What else? I want revenge of course. You let my poor mother die!! Don't think I did not find out that it was you! How could you have been so cruel? Mom didn't have anything to do with what we were arguing about and you killed her!” Alex shouted back.His face displayed how angry he is. Owen couldn't say anything. He thought he already asked those men to leave before anyone got there so how was Alex able to find out that he was the mastermind.“Deal or no deal,” Alex asked coldly this time. Owen couldn't help but shiver in fear. Now he had a pleading expression on his face. “Can't you just let bygones be bygones? This company won't be useful to you. You know nothing about business,” Ben said.“You are not the one that will tell me what to do. Stop wasting my time. Deal or no deal. I don't have much time left,” Alex said as he checked his wristwatc
