Mr. Troy went back into the mansion and paced about in the living room. He contacted Grant to let him know about Max's visit."Grant, you need to let go of Samantha right now. You do not know how capable her father is of hijacking some of our clients and drug investors. Let her go back home, and you can choose to continue your affair with her. It's becoming a kidnapping if you refuse to hand her over to her family," Mr. Troy vented his anger over the phone.Grant had gone on a short business trip that morning."Dad, when I return, we can discuss this. Do not let go of Samantha. How about Maria?" Grant asked, his voice calm, and Mr. Troy sighed."Maria still refuses to eat or go on a date with Damon. I do not know what to say to Mark Tucker. Now, I have to cancel the marriage arrangement if Maria doesn't want to compromise," Mr. Troy said, as he was also angry because of his daughter's stubbornness."It's all my fault, Dad. We shouldn't have involved Maria in this. If she refuses to co
Fiona sighed and went back into the house. "I told you that I was going to send Officer Jonathan away, and you thought I was joking. That man is so shameless."Wendy stood by the window and heard everything Fiona said to Jonathan. She did not pity Jonathan. She had wanted to go outside and see him, but remembering that he did not love her, she did not want to see him again."Thank you," Wendy told Fiona before she tiredly moved away from the window and went to her own room in the apartment to sleep.Fiona only watched Wendy and didn't bother to disturb her again.***Meanwhile, Mr. Max arrived at the Milians' residence, and the bodyguards refused to allow him entry.His black car was parked outside the residence, and one of the men ordered him to leave."I am not going anywhere. I am here to see Mr. Troy Milian. He abducted my daughter, and I have seen images of her in this mansion. If Samantha is not released, then I am going to publish her photos and other evidence that I have again
When Wendy arrived at another hospital, she was crying too much and unable to say what she wanted.Meanwhile, she was unaware that someone was monitoring her and following her."Hey, what's wrong?" Jax asked as he strolled up to meet Wendy. He wore a blue top and black trousers and shoes, and he appeared so decent that Wendy did not suspect that he was a mafia member."Nothing. It's nothing," Wendy sobbed outside the hospital entrance as she searched her bag for the handkerchief that she would use to clean her face. She needed to get the medical test result done, and not just a pregnancy kit result."Do you need a handkerchief? You can use mine," Jax said, handing over a clean white handkerchief to Wendy.Wendy was touched by Jax's care. She accepted his handkerchief, looked at his face, and asked him, "Did you come here for treatment?""Yeah. I had a little headache and had taken some pain relief, but the pain persists. So I came here to see the doctor and to know what's wrong."Jax
Daisy knew that she could not force Alicia to talk. She replied, "Alright. Actually, I am thinking of breaking up with Damian.""Why are you telling me this?" Alicia asked calmly, as she did not want Daisy to break her relationship with Damian.Some other nurses looked at them, wondering which Damian Daisy was referring to. But no one chimed in on their conversation."I am just telling you as my friend. My brother told me to stay away from Damian because of offending Maria. And I do not want to get kidnapped," Daisy said, alas, and the next question that Alicia asked her shocked her to the bones."Do you love Damian?" asked Alicia."What? No, well, I do not know. I like him because he is handsome and wealthy. Like who wouldn't like him," Daisy said, her cheeks flushed.Alicia nodded as she packed the file she was reviewing and said, "If you love him, follow your heart."Daisy frowned, not understanding why Alicia was advising her to follow her heart.Remembering how Damian had looked
Alicia's heart beat increased. Why was Damian here in the hospital? Did he want to kidnap her? She thought, but she immediately looked away from him as she did not want to meet his gaze.When Daisy saw Damian looking at her and Alicia, Daisy blushed embarrassedly as she did not know that Damian was interested in Alicia. Though, Daisy knew that her brother had told her to stay away from Damian and that Maria was interested in him.Alicia looked away from Damian and acted like she did not know him."Let's get back to work, Daisy," Alicia said, as she moved back to the nurse's desk to continue with her work.Daisy politely walked up to meet Damian to find out what he wanted and why he was at the hospital.It was past 11 am. Shouldn't he be in his company by now?"Good morning, Sir. What brings you here?" Daisy asked, as she came forward and stood in front of Damian.Damian's cold eyes followed Alicia. He watched her move back to the nurse's desk to continue with her work. She did not bot
"What?" Alicia's eyes widened in shock as she turned to look at her older brother's face and laughed out."Hahaha! Caden, you are joking, right? How can you say that I should marry Damian Tucker? What has come over you?" Alicia asked, looking at her older brother's face. Her smile disappeared, replaced by anger.Caden sighed and said, "I have thought about it, Alicia. Damian is not that bad after all. Dad is involved in fraud, and if you settle for Jonathan, that's the worst.""I do not want to hear it. Do not preach to me about Damian. I don't want him. If Dad doesn't want Jonathan, then I will move on. But clearly not to Damian."Alicia's eyes reddened with tears as he said that. She had loved Jonathan for five years, and it hurt to discover that he had cheated on her. And yet, he looked her in the eyes and said that he loved her.Must he lie to prove his love for her?Caden sighed, knowing that he could not force his sister to be with Damian."I will be out of the state for a week.
