Before Richard could lose it and destroy that lips of hers with a hungry kiss, he pushed her away and took two steps back. “I warned you to know your limit.” His voice didn't come out as stoic as he wanted it. What the fuck is this girl doing to him “Come on Richard, stop holding yourself back. I know you want me. I am your wife, stop holding yourself back.” Elizabeth took a step close to him, but he moved back. He can't believe that he's acting like some sort of teenager trying to escape early sex. For a second, he thought it wouldn't be a bad thing sleeping with her. Besides, she's his wife and it could help him get his head off Annabelle. But then again, she reminds him of Annabelle. And he's not yet sure with whatever he's feeling towards her, he doesn't want to be more confused.Elizabeth sighs as she watches him walk into the walk-in closest. She knew she's getting somewhere. It won't be long before he yields. Old Mr. Presley has already given her a good position in the Presl
“Welcome, Mrs. Presley.” A beautiful woman welcomed Elizabeth with a bright smile. It seems like the old Mr. Presley has already told them of her arrival. But not all of them know since some are staring confused at her. They were wondering who this beautiful lady with the aura is. Mrs. Presley…… she didn't think the name could fit her so well. She smiled in satisfaction. “This way ma'am.” The woman added as she led her to an ineffable office that will become hers. Well, it is already hers as her name is already boldly written on the nameplate. “This is your office ma'am, and this is your secretary, Miss Julieta.” “Good morning ma'am, I'm your secretary, Julieta.” The beautiful dark skin girl said with a very bright smile. Elizabeth couldn't help but notice how beautiful she is and how her Melanie skin glows. Indeed, black is beautiful. “If you need anything ma'am, I will be at your service.” Julieta added. “Well, since I'm new here, I would like you to fill me in with everything I
“You must be kidding. Richard is not married and if he should get married, I am the one he would marry and not a stinking bitch like you.” Anita blurted out.“Poor you. Unfortunately, he can't marry a brat like you.” Elizabeth smirked as she stepped close and whispers to her ear. “I am Richard's wife and the new CMO of this company. Deal with it sweetheart.”She gave Anita a wink as she turned and walked into Richard's office. Nancy was too shocked to stop her. In fact, she didn't even know when she walked away. Anita was still trying to process what just happened. The girl is too confident, she said that she's not just married to Richard but the new CMO of this company. How possible is that? No, that can't be true. Mrs. Evelyn will not allow Richard to marry another lady. And if Richard is truly married, why hasn't she heard about it. Why is it not on social media yet? That bitch is definitely one of those girls that would do anything to get on the bed of her man. She quickly made he
Elizabeth walked back to Richard's office. Nancy couldn't stop her from walking inside, not after seeing the way she pulled Anita out of the office. Richard had just finished up the call with his private investigator and was about to concentrate on his work when the door opened.He looked up and saw Elizabeth. He looked so done as he pitched the tip of his eyebrows. He wanted to get rid of Anita but it seems that Elizabeth is the worst pain in the ass. “My grandfather gave you that position because he believes you can handle it. What would he think if he finds out that you don't even sit the fuck down in your office and work, instead you enjoy disturbing others who are working.” He said, frustrated.Elizabeth rolled her eyes dramatically and sat opposite him. “If I didn't come over, I wouldn't have known that bitches usually come here. I'm sure grandfather will understand my point.”“Well, I actually like how you got rid of Anita, but that doesn't mean that I want you here. Can you l
“I want you, Richie. I'm your wife, you don't need to hold yourself back,” she said seductively as she bit on her lower lips. She tried getting close to Richard, but he gently pushed her away. He stood up from his seat and created a reasonable distance between them. “Fake wife is the right word. We both know that this marriage is not real. I told you to maintain your distance from me and you agreed, but you always seem to be crossing the line.” Richard said, trying to ignore the throbbing in his pants. With her presence here, it is making it more difficult to control it. Even his words didn't come out as stoic as he wanted them to. “I don't see this marriage as fake, Richie. If it is money I want, I could have taken it instead of blackmailing you into marrying me. I…” “Yeah, I know you don't want money but I think you want something else and you have gotten it. You want a high position in the Presley corporation and grandfather fulfilled your wish.” Richard cut her off. He's trying
The following day, the news of Richard Presley being married to a sassy lady took up the internet. People were shocked and muddled. When did Richard Presley get married? He never said anything or revealed dating any woman. Just like a flash, he got married without a celebration or was it a secret wedding? People started digging into Elizabeth's background. Unfortunately they couldn't find anything tangible just like Richard. But they were shocked that Richard married a girl with no name who worked in a small publishing company. They are also shocked that she's now the CMO of the Presley family. Many called her a gold digger. Most people are shocked to find out that Anita Henderson had a thing with Richard. They mocked her for not being chosen by Richard, and was embarrassed by his wife. Everyone has their own perspective about the situation. While some called Elizabeth a gold digger, others liked what she did — putting Anita Henderson, the rude brat in her place was so exciting to w
“Elizabeth, it's a good thing that you are here. I was even about to ask one of the maids to go up to your room and call you,” Evelyn said as she walked into the kitchen and met Elizabeth who was trying to get a bottle of water from the fridge. Elizabeth faked a smile as she closed the fridge after picking a bottle of water. “Wow! Should I be excited that you seek my presence,mum?” “Maybe you should.” Evelyn also faked a smile. “Well, I just want you to perform the important family ritual that is always done by the daughter-in-laws of this family.” “Does that mean you have accepted me as the daughter-in-law?” “Don't be too excited because you don't know when all these will end.” Evelyn smirked. “Unfortunately it just began, mum. Something that just began will definitely take time to end or probably will not end.” Elizabeth replied with a sarcastic smile. Evelyn smirk dropped, she closed the distance between them. “I will advise you, Elizabeth, not to play with fire. It is a dan
“What the fuck is this?! I said I like bad alcohol and not bad food.” Natasha cursed as she gestured to the maid to bring her a bottle of alcohol. That's the only thing that can help in this situation. “Why the heck did you serve us poison in the name of food.” Raymond snapped, shooting an angry glare at Elizabeth who looked unperturbed. “Fuck!” Andrew went for a juice. Well, he has never seen a pretty girl who knows how to cook. Elizabeth won't be an exception. “Who the fuck even asked you to cook!” Richard looks so angry. One thing he hates is someone ruining his taste bud with bad food. The cooks in the Presley mansion know too well to be very careful while cooking the food Richard eats. One mistake will lead to losing your job. “Mum asked me to cook.” Elizabeth replied nonchalantly. She wasn't even bothered that everyone spat out the food, claiming that it is bad. “It was a tradition. If you didn't know how to cook, you should have told me.” Evelyn cuts in. “If I had told
Stephen on the other hand was looking for Elizabeth in his own way. He was so worried about her. He didn't rest a bit until he found her. There was a bloodbath at Evelyn's dorm.“How dare she hurt you. I will kill that bitch!” Stephen gritted in anger as he hugged her.Just then, Evelyn staggered into the room as she held her stomach. When bullets were flying everywhere, she hid somewhere, but unfortunately one bullet hit her stomach. She was so fucking angry that her plans will be ruined because of Stephen. She will not die alone. She must take both Stephen and Elizabeth with her.With all her strength she picked a gun and staggered towards the room where Elizabeth is and shot Stephen at his back, straight to his heart. Elizabeth gasped as Stephen groaned. Evelyn wanted to shoot him again, but he beat her to it and shot her three times straight to her heart. Unfortunately, Evelyn was also able to fire a gun at that moment to his heart. They both fell on the floor.“Stephen.” Elizabet
Evelyn slapped Elizabeth hard across her cheeks as anger was rolling off her in waves.“I am not a worthless mother! I was the best mother to Richard, I gave him everything!” She snapped as she forcefully held Elizabeth's cheeks, her nails digging into her flesh. “I will not die. I will live to make your life miserable. I will show you what a monster can do. I will make you pay for what you did to my sister!”Natasha is still in the mental hospital. Evelyn couldn't see her because of tight security. She believes that Natasha's mental illness was caused by Elizabeth.“You pretend to be a good sister and you didn't even know that your sister was suffering from depression. You are a pathetic psychotic bitch!”PaaPaaPaaPaaThe slap this time came four times. Elizabeth took in the pain and kept a defiant face. She won't break in front of Evelyn and give her that satisfaction.“You are acting fierce, huh? Why don't we spice things up. I will make you suffer so much before I finish you of
One week later…..The breaking news on the internet was the sudden death of Anita and Evelyn's escape from the prison. The police are investigating the two cases. Many people are assuming that maybe Evelyn escaped to kill Anita.Richard employs guards that will escort Elizabeth anywhere that she wants to go. He's sure that Evelyn's target will be Elizabeth. Elizabeth's relationship with Richard has improved. She gave the Presley corporation back to him and took her former position as the CFO of the company. Even though Richard refused to take the company back because he thinks that he doesn't deserve it after what he made her go through. But she persuaded him to take it. He is the rightful owner of the Presley corporation.She has also forgiven Stephen. She can't be angry with him for too long. What she didn't know is that Stephen is in love with her. He's angry that she went back to Richard. His hatred for Richard doubled and what he ever wanted was to get rid of him. Elizabeth had
Stephanie told Elizabeth that Richard was also a victim. He got into a car accident the day he was rushing to come to the hospital and save his child. The accident was caused by Anita. Evelyn knew about it, but kept quiet because it helped in her plans. She told Elizabeth everything she was supposed to know about what happened five years ago.After she was done. Tears have already filled Elizabeth's eyes. All these years, she hated Richard and blamed him for the death of their child, but the truth was that he was also a victim. Anita and Evelyn were the two monsters that ruined their life. They made her hate Richard and also made Richard hate her by telling countless lies. It looks like Richard has known the truth. That was why he was drinking so much at the bar that night. It must be why he said that his mum wouldn't mind putting him in harm's way for her selfish gain. For goodness sake, Evelyn is not a human. She deserves more than the punishment she's getting now. She and Anita d
When Jeffery stabbed Elizabeth and left the house. With her last strength she left the house and went to the road. She fainted and someone took her to the hospital. Fortunately it was Stephen that found her. She has already lost a lot of blood and she doesn't even want to fight to live. She has given up on life.On her deathbed, she told Annabelle and Stephen what Jeffery did to her and her family. She begged them to help her make Jeffery pay for what he did to her family. Annabelle was so angry with herself that she couldn't protect the people that helped her and showed her love. She promised Elizabeth that she would find Jeffery and make him pay.Annabelle's plan was to change her face since it is already damaged and come back for her revenge with a new face. But Elizabeth gave her her own face. She also gave her her identity. So when she died. They buried her secretly so that the few people that knew her will believe that she's alive when Annabelle will step out with her face.Aft
“You have been deceiving me all these years. You made me believe that you are a good person. You joined me in fighting those that hurt me whereas you were part of them!” Elizabeth snapped in tears.“I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I regretted what I did, that was why I saved you that night. I was desperately in need of money and Anita manipulated me with it. Forgive me, please,” Stephen said as a single tear fell down his cheeks. He's someone that hardly cries but he doesn't want Elizabeth to push him out of her life.“You felt guilty?” Elizabeth looked up at him with puffy eyes. “How dare you feel guilty after destroying someone's life. You don't have the right to feel guilty!”She suddenly stood up and turned her back on Stephen. “Get out. I don't want to see you near this house or anywhere around me.” Saying those words brought so much pain to her heart. Stephen is a very important person in her life. He's her best friend, her family, he means a lot to her. Not having him in her life, it wil
It was anita. She wrote her name at the end of the message. Why did she send this to her? Isn't she supposed to be in the mental hospital because she's mentally ill. And what the fuck does she mean by happy in a picture with the man that killed you. Is she trying to say that Stephen was the one that killed her five years ago? She's mentally ill indeed. Stephen didn't kill her. He literally saved her. If not for him, she wouldn't be here today. He saved her and gave her a new life. She took her bag and rushed out of her office. An office she has dreamt to be hers and it is finally hers.She rushed outside the building straight to the parking lot. She met her driver and took the keys from him. She drove straight to the mental home where Anita is confined. How dare she try to play this game with her? She's going to teach her a lesson. When she arrived at the mental home. She went through several questions and her patience nearly ran thin. Finally she was allowed to meet Anita. She ente
It's been two days since the night Elizabeth met Richard drunk in the bar. She has been trying to get herself busy with work and not think about him, but it wasn't working at all. She wants to know how he is doing. This feeling is making her so angry. What has Richard done to her? Why does it seem that she suddenly forgot all the pain he'd cause her. Was the few months he showed her love enough to erase the pain he caused her for three years. Besides, he loved Elizabeth and not Annabelle. If he had known that she was Annabelle, he wouldn't have shown her all that love.Despite all she did not go to the workers quarters, she still found herself there with an excuse that she's there to visit the old Mr. Presley. The first person she bumped into was Richard. It was as if the heavens wanted them to meet.Due to the force they collided with each other. Elizabeth was about to fall down but Richard was fast to catch her. He held her tiny waist as they stared into each other's eyes. They mi
It is Ashley Westford, Raymond's younger sister who is married to Mike Westford, one of the richest men in the UK. Ashley was so furious when she heard of what happened to her family. Raymond told her everything, how Elizabeth took everything from them. What Raymond wants is to definitely get on his feet. Being poor is not for him. The only person he could turn to is his sister. Though not in the country, he believes she will help him.“And who are you?” Elizabeth asked. “I am Ashley Westford Presley,” Ashley replied. So she is Raymond's younger sister. She barely visits the Presley mansion, that is why Elizabeth doesn't know her. It is usually her daughter, Angelina that visits always.“What are you doing in my house, Ashley Westford Presley? I do not remember inviting you here,"Elizabeth said sarcastically.Ashley stomped her feet in anger as she matched towards her but Stephen stood in her way. She glared at him and then at Elizabeth. “This is the Presleys mansion. It belongs to
