The next morning, Alicia woke up in her room, contemplating going to work. "Oh no. What am I going to do?" she asked herself, pacing about in her room.The words of her father's revelation after visiting the Milian's residence echoed in her mind.'The Milians want to use you against Damian, but unlike Samantha, you will be tortured.'"Mmm," Alicia shut her eyes. She made up her mind to go and visit Damian and to end the whole drama.As she went into her bathroom, Alicia bathed quickly, then she got out, dried her body, and wore a green dress and black slip-on shoes.The green dress was a long-sleeved dress that covered her hands and ended at her wrist.Alicia moved over to her mirror to style her hair and to make up her face to look pleasing.Once Alicia was done with her makeup and her hair, she combed her hair and applied a hair cream to it to make her scent feminine and divine.Alicia then grabbed her handbag, took her phone from the shelf. She glanced at the screen and saw that s
Grant returned home that evening and went to check on Maria first. As he arrived at the underground basement and saw the state that his only younger sister was in, his fist clenched. "Maria, why are you torturing yourself for a man who doesn't want you?" Grant asked after he ordered Simon to unlock the door of the room that Maria was locked inside. Maria looked so broken. Her fair figure appeared pale as she remained silent, not wanting to say a word. She refused to eat or drink anything. Grant crossed the distance between them. He approached Maria on the bed and saw that she was awake, but she refused to say a word to him. Grant lifted Maria up in his firm arms. Only then did she struggle, wanting him to put her down. "Put me down, brother! Since you want to punish me, go on, but I will not marry anyone except Damian," Maria said stubbornly, and Grant sighed. "Fine. Do as you wish, and that's if Damian decides to marry you, but I will not back you up or have my men commit any c
It seemed that even Lady Jennifer was worried after she heard what her husband said to Alicia. She looked from Alicia's face to her husband and asked, "Is there no way to settle this amicably with the Milians? Why will they drag Alicia into an issue that they have with Damian?" Mr. Max appeared thoughtful and he said, "I do not know. I have also thought about it and I think they were looking for Damian's weakness to get to him. After all, the Milians and the Tuckers are sworn enemies." "Mm," Lady Jennifer frowned and looked at Alicia, who was standing speechless in the living room. Alicia did not have anything to say to her father. After recovering from the shock of what her father said, as it was either she leave for the countryside or marry Damian. Which would she prefer? Alicia shut her eyes and went to pick up her bag. "Alicia, dinner is ready. You should come and join your father and me for dinner," Lady Jennifer said, and Alicia replied, "Alright, Mom. I will be back." Lady
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 in 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 and 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. 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. "It's all my fault, Dad. We shouldn't have involved Maria in this. If she refuses to cooperate, then I
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
