MasukBRANDON ~It had already been three weeks since Victoria left Manhattan with Liam, yet I was still unable to make any progress with my investigation.So far, I had changed two secret service agents while searching for Victoria's details in Asheville City, but neither of them had brought me any positive results. No matter how much I tried, I kept hitting a dead end, and it was beginning to frustrate me more than I cared to admit.I let out a deep sigh, rubbing my forehead as I picked up my phone from the table to dial their number. I needed an update as soon as possible. I couldn't afford to waste any more time sitting around without knowing where Victoria was or how she had been doing.It has already been three weeks since they went back to Asheville City, and those three weeks already look like forever to me.However, just as I was about to dial the chief of the secret service agents, my phone suddenly began to ring.I paused, my fingers hovering over the screen as I glanced at the c
VICTORIA ~Saying I have been worn out over the past couple of days is an understatement. I am more than exhausted, both physically and emotionally.I have faced a series of challenges. Just when I thought I had finally managed to get my son back to Asheville City, another exhausting issue came up, leaving me with barely enough time to catch my breath.However, I am thankful that this present storm has finally come to an end. At least, I can breathe a little easier now, knowing that I no longer have to worry about the case hanging over my head.In all honesty, I cannot thank the universe enough for bringing Logan into my life.Right from the moment I got into this trouble, he took it upon himself to fight for my release. He stood by me when I needed help the most, even when I had no idea how things would turn out. His support meant more to me than I could ever explain.Even during the court hearing, which I never expected him to attend, he showed up with his lawyer, as though he had s
LOGAN ~Today was the day Victoria's case would be presented in court.Ever since her arrest a week ago over the man she had knocked down, I had been unable to put my mind at ease. Although I had used my connections to secure her bail, I still couldn't shake off the feeling that something might go wrong.I hadn't planned to get so involved in her affairs, but I knew I couldn't simply stand by and watch her go through this alone. Whatever differences existed between us, I still cared about her, and I wasn't ready to abandon her when she needed help the most.Picking up my phone, I dialled her number, hoping to hear her voice and find out how well she had been preparing for the court hearing.However, her number was unreachable.I pulled the phone away from my ear and stared at the screen, wondering if I had dialled the wrong number. After checking it, I tried again, but I got the same response.Her phone was switched off.A deep frown creased my forehead.This was unusual. Victoria's p
ELESE ~Honestly, I couldn't believe what had just happened at the supermarket.I hadn't expected Victoria to pay for those items, not to mention seeing her pay with a silver ATM card. Even now, I still found it difficult to wrap my head around what I had witnessed.The silver card wasn't an ordinary ATM card. To own one, you need to have a certain amount of money in your bank account. It was the kind of card that only wealthy and influential individuals could afford to possess.In fact, I had only seen one once in this city, and it belonged to a renowned individual. From what I had gathered about him, he was a self-made billionaire.So, how exactly had Victoria managed to get such a card?Does it mean she is now a billionaire, and I knew nothing about it?I let out an exasperated sigh and shook my head, trying to push those thoughts aside. As much as I wanted to understand what was going on with her, I had too many problems of my own to worry about.The last thing I needed was to was
VICTORIA ~"What exactly is happening here?" he questioned.Immediately, everyone's attention shifted towards him. Even I turned to look at the young man, hoping he would listen to my side of the story before jumping to conclusions."Good evening, sir," the cashier greeted him respectfully, bowing her head slightly."Good evening, Jessica," the young man responded in a professional tone before looking around at the people gathered. "Why is there chaos here?" he asked again, his expression turning serious.Immediately, Jessica pointed a finger in my direction."It was this lady here," she explained."She came here knowing fully well that she had no money to pay for what she bought," Elese interrupted, her voice dripping with mockery.For a moment, my mouth fell open in disbelief. I was so shocked that I could barely find the right words to respond. It felt as though I had walked straight into a coordinated attack, with everyone determined to make me look foolish in front of the entire
VICTORIA~ "Please, ma'am, you're wasting our time. Kindly make your payment so others can do the same," the cashier said impatiently. I immediately turned my attention back to the items I had shopped, my heart pounding as I tried to figure out what to do next. The impatient stares from the people behind me only made the situation more embarrassing. "Oh, you're stranded!" Elese chirped in, letting out a mocking giggle. My forehead instantly glistened with beads of sweat. I could feel my confidence slipping away, but I refused to let her see how uncomfortable I was. "And who says I'm stranded?" I shot back, dipping my hand into my purse to retrieve my ATM card. To my bewilderment, I couldn't find it. I searched through the purse again, moving my fingers desperately through its contents, but the card was nowhere to be found. "What the heck is happening?" I muttered in frustration. The more I searched, the more helpless I felt. I couldn't understand how my card had suddenl
VICTORIA ~ I calmly glanced at the seven-figure value bracelet on Elese's hand, then looked directly into Brandon's eyes. "I mean exactly what I said. You give the bracelet away and give me a freebie gift. Do you think I only deserve freebies?" Brandon probably didn't expect me to bring up the
VICTORIA Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The day I married the man of my dreams, Brandon. Instead, it became the day my heart shattered into a thousand pieces. My fiancé's sister, Elese, arrived at the venue before me wearing the exact same custom-made wedding dress as mine.
VICTORIA ~ “Abortion?” Brandon asked, confusion flickering across his face. “Tell me you’re joking, Victoria,” he added, staring at me with a stoic expression. "Of course, Brandon. Are you surprised?" I chuckled, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Well, don't be. I chose this because I can't endur
BRANDON ~ Words alone cannot express how I was feeling. Victoria pretends that all is well, but I know she's just masking her true feelings. I know beneath the surface lies a dangerous thought and plan she's harboring for me, which she does not want me to know of. I took a deep sigh of exaspera
