“Ready for the big day?” Stephen fixed his tie, facing the mirror. Getting ready for the event they were invited to.The famous cosmetic icon in Italy, Dina Wong, collaborated with F cosmetics, launching their new make-up collection. Fabe was having second thoughts about going, thinking about the press, the camera, and the business industry, especially John Dawson, who seemed to be obsessed with her life.“Nervous. I still think that showing myself in public is inappropriate,” Fabe took a deep breath staring at her reflection in the mirror. If it weren’t for Liam, she would have shown her horns to all those who ridiculed her.“What? Nonsense! It’s time, princess,” Cali stood next to her and secretly smacked his lips, putting a lip balm while glancing at Stephen.”“We are beautiful!” he whispered to Fabe, “Seriously, you deserve it. Now let’s go before we miss the launching.”Jonathan was just in time, arriving at Fabe’s house. He insists on escorting her tonight. After knowing Bryce w
The humiliation Lady Sophie brings to herself and her family bounces back into their company. Some of their investors backed out, and her friends eluded her. Afraid to get embroiled in the conflict. "You imbecile! Shame on you!" Master Rafael chastised, reading the news about the incident at the product launching of F Cosmetics. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I didn't know!" Lady Sophie cried out. Master Rafael almost hit her with his staff furiously. "The damage has been done. If we did not act immediately, we would be bankrupt! You should have used your small brain, Sophie. How did I have a daughter like you?" Master Rafael pinched his temples. "Dad, relax, okay? You're blood pressure. I'll fix this," Bryce led the Master to the couch. "No, son, I'll fix this. There's only one thing left to do." The Hamilton's are the talk of the town. Criticizing their claim over Fabe. Was it all true that they were all made-up stories to ruin Fabe's reputation? Also, everyone was asking about her
Sunny Liang escaped. For the first time in history, Nova failed her mission. The news spread around the triad, and the assignment to hunt down Sunny Liang was given to other clusters.Massimo was sworn in his entire life to never let personal matters get in the way of his business. No one in the triad knows about Fabe marrying Bryce Hamilton. Her years of absence were just to keep her name out of the public’s mind.Now, she was questioned by the founding members of the triads about her loyalty and about Liam. In the triad, though you get married, it will remain a secret to your spouse. Once compromised, the triad will not hesitate to eliminate them.“Why did Bryce suspect you as Nova?” Massimo asked Fabe. Her last mission was a failed and has been compromised. Someone will definitely order surveillance for Nova.Fabe remained silent. Refusing to answer the question. Massimo, Stephen, and Cali were waiting for her to talk. Although Cali knows about the story behind it, he never says a
“Dad! Mom!” Bryce shouted, entering the house. His ecstatic voice was thundering in all corners. He wanted to let the whole world know about his son.“Bryce? What is it?” Master Rafael came out of his room with Madam Claudia.“Mom, dad, you are not going to believe this. Fabe confessed to me that Liam was my son. He’s my son!” Bryce hugged his parents dearly.“I knew it! He looked just like you. No doubt that he’s a Hamilton. I have a grandson!” Master Rafael exclaimed happily.“Oh, my, he’s alive all this time, and she hid him from us? What convinced her to confess?”“She doesn’t want the frenzy of the media, mom. Isn’t amazing? She finally softened now!”“Wonderful, son. Did you talk about the terms concerning Liam’s custody?” Master Rafael asked, leading Bryce to the living room to discuss the agreement set by Fabe.Madam Claudia was surprised to see how uplifted the Master was. He was so desperate to have a grandchild, and the news of Liam’s death five years ago broke his heart.
Overjoyed, Master Rafael wanted to announce to the public his grandson and make Liam a Hamilton legally. To give him all the power and rights of the family’s assets, which sparks questions in Lady Sophie. Since the Master froze her accounts and her rights after her divorce. But Massimo was not pleased by Master Rafael’s plan and thought that associating Liam with the Hamilton would most likely expose him to danger. “I already allow you to introduce my grandson to his father. That’s it. If you let him use that name, you will not only invite the vultures but his safety will be compromised. Think about it,” Massimo objected to Fabe’s decision, regretting the day he brought Liam to Italy. “I am doing this for my son, dad. He’s a Hamilton whether we like it or not.” Massimo shrugged. Fabe had already decided, and forcing her won’t make any changes now. In three days, Liam will be legally declared as Hamilton. “Time to go, princess,” Cali took his gun and left the room. They found Sunn
“Oh, shit! Stephen is here!” Cali mumbled while dancing cunningly to the beat of Madonna’s hit music, Material Girl. Suddenly, Cali regrets not putting thick makeup on his face. He got busy with Fabe and forgot the time of his performance. While gliding his body to the beat, he quickly grabbed the ornaments designed on the side of the stage and covered his face. Turning his back on the audience and changed the dance steps. The backup dancers were confused by him but continued the routine. When the music was about to end, he found his exit and rushed backstage. He grabbed his things and changed clothes in the women’s comfort room. Removing all his makeup. Before going out, he waited for a few minutes and surveyed around. He hurtled to the back door and went to his car, which he only used when going to the club. On the way, he called Fabe and tell her about Stephen. She was stunned as him. Earlier, she didn’t notice Stephen and was preoccupied with the man who followed her at the re
“Lyla, let’s not jump into decisions, please,” Master Rafael pleaded, “I will deal with, Sophie.”Liam ran to Lyla, wrapping his arms around her waist shakenly. He was asking to go home.“Liam, it’s okay. Daddy’s here. I won’t let her hurt you,” Bryce reach out his hands, slowly approaching Liam. Liam hesitated at first, but come around eventually. “Bryce, I hate to tell you this, if Fabe finds out what happened right now, she will never let anyone of you near Liam again.”“That’s why I’m asking you not to tell, Lyla. You’re a parent too, I’m sure you understand what I mean.”“She is not what I am worried about,” Lyla exclaimed softly, remembering Massimo. “Who?” “Huh? No one! Okay, I’ll keep it for now. But if it happen again, you know what I’ll do!” Lyla lectured and stormed downstairs. Bryce tucked Liam in bed and saw the red mark on his arm. He decided to get some ice to the kitchen and saw Lyla drinking tea in deep thought. “Not sleepy yet, Lyla?” “Just thinking.
They were traveling for an hour. Bryce counted every tick of his wrist watch. It was exactly one thousand eight hundred seconds, the van stopped and he was dragged out.Blindfolded, gagged and strap in a chair. Bryce felt a gun pointed to his temple and heard the guy talking about their boss. “Who are you people? What do you want from me?” “You’ll have your answer later.”“Hey, put that gun away from him. If that thing blows, boss will have your head, so beat it.” “Thank you, for that,” Bryce sighed in relief.“Don't thank me. I am just following orders here.”“Look, I didn’t do anything. You must have taken the wrong person! I am not your guy! Please, I have a son. He needs me!”“Well, you’re here. I guess you push his button.”“Who? Who is your boss?”“You’ll meet him soon.”He heard footsteps walking away and the door shut close. “Hey! Don’t leave me here! Help!” Bryce shouted, struggling to break lose. But the rope was tied tightly around him. *******“Oh, God!
