Andrea and Anna arrived at the shopping mall and walked in. The shopping attendants didn't rush to them at first until they saw Davis' handsome face. He looked like a wealthy man at a glance. And since Andrea and Anna weren't really known by ordinary folks as coming from wealthy families, the shopping attendants quickly connected the dots and thought the three of them were a family of three. One of the attendants rushed to them with a flattering smile. "There's a jewelry set which I know your wife and daughter will love very much, sir." The attendant said. Davis froze and so did the air around them. He was about to dispel the situation when another shop attendant brought forward an expensive set of jewelries. It included a necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings, all made of gleaming white gold and set with glittering diamonds. There were two necklaces in this set, one which featured a delicate chain adorned with a central pendant; a diamond solitaire and the other, a cluster of
A van drove into an estate and stopped in front of a majestic house. The van stopped and Davis got out of it. He walked to the back of and dragged out something heavy which he dumped in front of the gate. Then he got back into the van and drove. The security men who had been inside, poked out their heads to see what was going on. Despite the battered face, they were able to recognize the man was no other than their young master. Instantly, they opened the gate and ran to help him. They helped him into the main house, bloodied and bruised. Inside the living room was a middle-aged woman, dressed in luxurious clothing that exuded both comfort and style. Her outfit was a tasteful combination of casual and chic, reflecting her refined taste.She wore a loose-fitting cashmere sweater in a soft, neutral tone, the fabric draping elegantly over her frame. The sweater had a wide neckline that revealed a hint of her collarbone, adding a touch of allure to her relaxed look.Her pants were a pai
Ryker walked out of the mall with Andrea and Anna afterwards. They got into his Bentley while Hayden drove the Lamborghini. Anna sat in front of them and stared between the two couples who refused to look at each other. She relaxed and pinned her eyes on Ryker with a mischievous smile. "Are you sure you were nearby? Because you look like you had rushed out of a very important meeting." She commented, and Ryker froze. His eyes settled on Anna and the corners of his lips quirked up into an unnoticeable smile. However, before he could say a word in response, Andrea beat her to it. "Anna!" Andrea called out, giving her a reprimanding look. Anna glanced at her and pursed her lips in sadness; she was just curious. As little as she was, she found his words difficult to believe. However, since she had been asked to stay silent, she had no choice but to turn her eyes outside the window. "I'm sorry that I caused you trouble today." Andrea apologized as she turned to Ryker. He gave no res
A flustered Ryker paced back and forth in his dimly lit office, his mind racing as he tried to figure out the best way to find Andrea. He had gone back to Law College to find her just a few minutes ago. Despite scouting the whole school over and over with his men, there was no shadow of her. He even checked the school's security footage and realized she first walked into the parking lot before moving into the darker part of the school where the camera could no longer make her out. "Listen up!" he shouted at his soldiers who were in front of him, his voice trembling with anger. "I want Andrea found! Kill anyone that stands in your way of achieving that."Davis, who was leading the group, nodded. He walked out with them and in front of Ryker's door, dished out more orders. "Go out there and scour the city," he started, his eyes darting around their faces, "Talk to anyone and everyone who might know where she is. Use whatever means necessary to get the information we need."The men n
Andrea waited for a couple of seconds. When she saw the man frown, she immediately rushed into her room and locked the door loudly. The man's lips curved into a smile. Nevertheless, he turned to Hayden who had been lurking around the corridor since Andrea walked in. "I just got a call from a police station. A group of boys was dumped in front of their station, bruised and unconscious. They asked if we did it." Hayden relayed. "You're insinuating she did this?" Ryker asked in surprise, tilting his head back a little, looking at Hayden from the side of his eyes. "Yes, boss. I also looked up the identities of those boys and figured out she had been the cause of their misfortune a couple of months back." Hayden replied. "I see." Ryker placed a finger under his chin, his iris dilated. He recalled what Anna had told him minutes ago about Andrea's quest to own an empire and looked towards the direction of Andrea's door. Turns out this Queen of his didn't only have plans of being suicida
Andrea opened her eyes the next morning thanks to her phone which vibrated incessantly on her drawer. Reluctantly, she reached towards it and pressed it to her ears without looking at the screen. "You little brat! You finally decided to return after going away for five years!" Those were the loud and harsh words that succeeded in totally eradicating the sleep in her eyes. She sat up and intended to end the call when the voice came up again, "You dare to hang up on me like you've always done and I will directly report you to your father!" 'Ah, what a nuisance!' Andrea thought as she got out of bed. Nevertheless, she didn't let it affect her tone of voice as she asked, "I didn't expect to see your call all of a sudden, master." "I also didn't expect you'll return so soon, Andrea." The man replied, his harsh tone replaced with a soft one. Andrea took the phone away from her ear and stared at the screen. Just like she thought, the man used a new number since she had blocked his number
Andrea arrived at a crowded school. Lots of students lurked within the school's premises looking dispirited as they walked about. "They got rejected." Someone suddenly said and Andrea turned to see who it was. It was an unfamiliar person, one that she didn't even recall in her last life. Like though realizing Andrea was questioning herself about her identity, the girl introduced herself, "I'm Carrie." Andrea nodded and walked away from her. Who had time to make new friends? Carrie's eyes deepened with amusement. Andrea kept giving her a reason to stay around a little more. Nevertheless, she wasn't in a rush. She practically had all the time in the world to tame her. Andrea got to the auditorium where the auditions were being held. Thanks to the vast number of people who had been rejected, only a few people remained. Valerie also happened to arrive late. When she saw Andrea, her pupils dilated. Even though it hadn't gotten to Andrea's turn yet, she already knew the latter would
The door opened and Andrea walked out. She walked to one of the two empty seats remaining and sat on it. At this point, Valerie bit on her lower lip. She didn't need anyone to tell her she would fail the audition. With Andrea not being around to tutor her on what to do, not auditioning sounded like a better option. Jane was soon called in and the latter got up. Valerie cast a worried glance towards Andrea's direction and bit on her lower lip. She got up and walked into the corridor where she phoned Georgina. "Mother, Andrea is auditioning as well. And she has even gotten a spot." Valerie said bitterly as soon as the call connected. Georgina said nothing for a while before sighing, "There are still two more seats, Valerie. Andrea takes one, Jane takes one and you take the other. Then when you three get admitted you can make the life of that little bit.ch a living he.ll.""I wish that was the case, mother." Valerie mumbled, rubbing her forehead, "Damon auditioned as well and he pas
