MasukShe was just twenty two when her father's corpse was found in Fernandez Group where he worked as a personal assistant. Precisely in the office of Diego Fernandez. Nothing was done about it, no investigation was carried out on the suspicious death of her father. The whole issue was swept under the rug and a pitiful chunk of money was offered to them as a compensation. Ellie Connors was ready to do anything to find the cause of her father's death and to bring the culprit to book. She had hatched the idea of revenge for three years. There was literally no way she could go against such a rich and influential family considering her background. But there was a way, an only way, which was becoming a part of the Fernandez's family. Somehow, she got married to Diego, her worst enemy and the supposed 'killer'. Now to her revenge plan, do you think she will be able to succeed in it and find out what really happened to her father? What if there were more to his death than just the surface? Would it be just revenge or something else would spark between them?
Lihat lebih banyakELLIEI paced around the office, biting my bottom lip—I was restless, I'd have to admit that. My gaze flickered to the door with each passing second. Matteo had left already, while I? I had no idea why I was waiting for Diego. Maybe it would be more believable to hear it from him directly. I still wasn't getting it, and it was messing with my mental state. The door opened and Diego came in. I noticed a flicker of surprise flash across his face."What are you still doing here?" He asked as he walked further into the office."Honestly, I don't know either," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. I paused to look at him fully, raising an eyebrow."Are you okay?" I asked before I could stop myself. "How did your meeting go? Matteo told me everything."Diego chuckled. "And you believed him that quick? Woah! I'm hurt," he said dramatically, touching his chest as if he was feeling pain in that spot. "I don't know yet. Matteo, somehow, has a convincing tongue, I don't know how he does
DIEGOMy gaze darkened as I entered the conference room. The first person my eyes fell on was Marley, who was standing in front of the board of directors. Our eyes met, and he paused, his eyes grew wide in surprise. Sure, he hadn't expected my presence so soon. I returned his shocking look with a faint smile.Marley swallowed hard, the corner of his mouth twitching like he was searching for what to say. He finally uttered, "Look who we have here. I never knew you as the type who would come late for important meetings like this. Did something happen?" His lips curved into a seemingly genuine smile, but I knew better.He added, "Or have you always been naturally irresponsible?" His words were harsh, but his smile didn't waver. That didn't make it less taunting. Rather, I'd say he sucked at it—trying to play a nice brother while dragging me through the mud and staining my image. "Thanks for looking out for me, brother. What matters most is that I am here now," I replied plainly, turn
I blinked rapidly, struggling to process his words. Had I misheard him?"What if I didn’t kill your father? Would you stay?" he asked in a low voice, breathing heavily. My brows knitted together. "What are you talking about?"I couldn’t wrap my head around it. What game was he playing now? The victim's act?"There's no 'what if' in this, Diego," I said with a slight chuckle, though there was no humor in it. "You killed my dad. That’s a fact."I hated how skeptical I sounded—like a part of me still doubted the truth. Jade had confirmed it. Dad’s body was found in Diego's office. What more proof did I need?Diego didn’t respond. He only held onto me tighter, as if letting go would make me slip away.After a moment, he pulled away, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "I think I'm okay now," he murmured."What just happened?" I asked, my patience wearing thin. "You were saying something about my father?"He exhaled sharply, his gaze flickering with something unreadable. "Is there even a p
Marley's eyes glimmered with interest, he took a few steps closer to me. "What do you mean by Diego is sick?" He inquired, with a raised eyebrow. "That's all I've got to tell you," I replied, not wanting to give in so much detail. I hated Diego and I wanted to get revenge, but Marley doesn't seem like the right guy to tell all of those. I'd rather keep it to myself.He used a finger to raise my chin, making sure I maintained eye contact with him. He squinted his eyes, staring at me intensely. "Are you being serious? Remember, it's your mother's life on the line."I swallowed hard, averting my gaze elsewhere. "Stay away from my mom," I muttered."That depends on how you act, Ellie. Go ahead and tell me everything you know. Don't skip even the slightest detail, I want to hear everything," he urged me.I sighed deeply, feeling regretful and helpless. What had I gotten myself into?"I stumbled across a file in his study room. It's a diagnosis note from the doctor. I didn't get to read t
I stretched my body tiredly as I struggled to stand up. Thanks to Diego, I barely slept last night. I dragged my stressed self to the bathroom, cursing under my breath. Wasn't it ironic? I barely slept when he was around and now, I was losing sleep in his absence too. "That's because you'll get q
My breath caught in my throat. "Why will I take breakfast to him?" I asked before I could stop myself. Her brows met in confusion. "Isn't he your husband? Is there something wrong with taking food to him?" She retorted. "It's just...sudden, and I haven't been to the company either. I don't kno
I felt the hairs on my body rise at the ends. The idea of wearing lingerie cringes me out. I tried picturing myself in it, but damn! So uncomfortable and awkward. "What do you think? Do you want to try them out?" Scarlet asked, her voice jolting me out of my thoughts."Huh? No! Of course not!" I r
My mouth dropped open in shock. Did she just say grandkids like children? Like Diego and I having sex and producing babies?"Is there another meaning to it, Ellie? That's exactly what she meant," my subconscious mind pointed out."Actually, I want five grandkids," she continued, staring into space
