“Thank you my dear…thank you very much,” Vera said, her hands trailing my face softly.

My eyes closed and I leaned into her comforting touch.

Tears gathered in my eyes, and one treacherous drop escaped through, drawing a pattern around my cheek.

“It’s okay aunty…I’ll do anything for you,” I said with conviction knowing I meant my words. I will actually do anything for her—she has sacrificed so much for me, even to the extent of going against her own family. I guess I am paying my debt to her, after all, this was only a little compared to what she did for me five years ago.

Bile rose in my throat like always, when my memories travelled back to the day she saved my life, sacrificing a very big part of herself for me.

Without her, I would not have been alive today, so I owe her my life.

Marrying her son, that’s the least I could do.

“Are you okay now aunty…could you please, get some water for her,” I said to the sales girl, who stood behind me. Her eyes wide like saucers as she watche

    Her voice was calm and cold.“What…what are you saying, child?” I stuttered.My eyes widened as I stared at the stranger before me.Jennifer laughed.A deep, dark laugh, one that sent shivers straight to my spine.“Oh! Don’t act obtuse old man.You clearly know exactly what I’m talking about,” she hissed, moving closer to me until she was just a foot away.“Ethan was, is and will always be mine, and you know it,” she hissed in rage.Her nails dug into the skin of my arms as she gripped them tightly. “I am supposed to be the young madam of the Blackwood’s family.Me!” She screamed, letting go of my arms as she pointed to herself.“Me and no one else!You have always known that, yet, you forced him to marry that stupid bitch, how dare you!” She roared and within a fraction of second, her hands were wrapped tightly around my throat, cutting off my air.My eyes flared in shock, my frail old and weak hands moving to her hands as I struggled to move it away, yet it was futile.“Ethan belo

    The words choked on my chest, and all I could do was stand still and watch the man before me with wide eyes.“Jennifer?Ethan’s friend?” I breathed, my mind still unable to believe what I’ve heard.“Yes, her,” The old master gasped, his voice still low in fear.“But she…she—why would she do that?” I stammered.Still finding it impossible to believe that Jenifer could be as evil as that.I thought she saw the old master like her very own grandfather.She even called him—grandfather.“Why would she try to kill you grandfather? She has no reason to,” I pressed, wanting to know what would prompt a woman like Jennfier to do evil to the old master.The old master laughed. The tone of his laugh rumbled across the air, sending a cool chill in my skin that made me shiver.His voice was calm, low and sorrowful. “I also thought that too.Why would the same girl I took under my wings twelve years ago after her parents' death do that?The same child I fed and treated like my own—the little girl

    Tyler urged.And how badly did I want to say yes to him, but I knew I couldn't.I couldn’t allow Ethan to ruin him like that all because he wanted to help me.Letting out a deep breath, I whispered. “Thank you, Mr. Rivers,” while my hands stretched out to take my bag from his hands.I unclasped my hands from his, watching as he dropped them to the sides, watching me pick my bags.“Tyler,” he corrected and I smiled.“You might not agree now, Leah.But I promise you, one day, I’ll take you away from Ethan,” he vowed, a weird expression flashing in his eyes which I ignored.Saying nothing—not wanting to correct him that Ethan would never let me go.I walked towards Ethan, and I watched as he let out a sigh that looked so close to relief, but I was not delusional enough to think that.“You’ll fix what you have ruined, Leah.A press conference would be arranged, and you’lltell the world everything you and your mother did to ruin my family,” he breathed harshly.“You’ll tell them, that we

    Without looking back, I moved towards the door ready to walk through, but then Ethan’s next words froze me to the bone.“If you leave here today, Leah, you’ll pay me back the ten million you stole from my company,” Ethan’s cold voice rang around the room, halting my steps along with Tyler who stood beside me.My wide eyes turned to look at Ethan’s angry ones which were burning through me.I clenched my fists by my sides to stop myself from trembling.I had not stolen that money, Tina did, but I still bore the brunt of it till today.“You don’t need to threaten her over a change like that, Blackwood.The money will be transferred to you immediately,” Tyler snarled, moving closer to me as he held my hands.Ethan’s gaze followed his movements to where his hands were wrapped around mine as his eyes darkened.I turned to stare at Tyler.He was doing a lot for me already, but I did not want to owe him any favors.“No need for that Tyler, thank you for your help, but I’ll sort it out myself

    “You love me?” Ethan muttered as he laughed louder, followed by Jennfier’s snicker.In a fraction of a second, the amusement was gone from his face, replaced by something darker.An expression that made my stomach twist in both anxiousness and fear.He moved closer to me, his hot breath fanning my face as his enchanting scent drew me in.“How stupid do you think I am, Leah?” He snarled in rage.I could feel something tearing in my chest as pain filled me.I clenched my hands together trying to keep myself from trembling.“I love you, Ethan.I really do,” I breathed, my voice low, and I could feel tears burning at the back of my eyes.He stretched his hands forward wanting to wrap around my thin neck, only, he held back as he clenched his fist in anger.The rhythm of his chest was uneven.“How many more lies would you tell?How many, Leah?Just how many?Answer me,” he roared pacing around the room.“Do you take me for a joke?Someone you can sway with your words, and I’ll fall for it

    “What?” I asked with wide eyes, unable to control my shock.“How dare you?” Ethan growled from where he stood, and within a fraction of second, he was before Tyler, his hands wrapped tightly around his throat, ready to choke him to death.“Ethan!” Jennifer gasped.She ran towards him, her hands darted out, trying to pry his hands away but it was useless.Tyler’s lips curved into a sly smirk as he watched the bloodlust gleam in Ethan’s eyes—but still—he looked so unaffected.“Why are you so angry, Blackwood?It’s not my fault you don’t value the queen that she is,” Tyler spat, his hard gaze moving to me and it softened lightly.His stunning grey eyes locked on mine, holding me captive.Ethan pressed tighter ready to kill Tyler right there as his face reddened yet, the smirk never left his lips.“You have some nerve boy, trying to convert my wife in my presence,” Ethan hissed.His face clenched hard with anger, and his eyes—they raged with every intent to kill Tyler right there.A croo
