Night.

Archie opened the mansion door and froze when a little girl ran toward him, hugging his waist.

“Welcome back, daddy,” Alan said with a bright smile.

Archie stiffened. He was tough, used to command and a cruel world, not warmth, yet a child called him daddy. His eyes shifted up, catching Jenna sitting on the sofa, eating fruit with that irritated look of hers, typical marriage annoyance. She's still mad about the previous night.

“Oh, you’re back. Welcome,” Adain said as he came down from the stairs, with a laptop in hand.

Archie patted Alan’s head slowly. So this is how it feels to have a family?

“Where’s Adan?” Archie asked.

Adain chuckled and replied “In Beijing…”Archie frowned, confused.

“You should be glad you see one of your boys,” Jenna sighed in frustration. He had no idea what she went through to convince Adain to spend the night. She was about to continue when her eyes widened. “Wait… where’s Katherine?”

“Who’s Katherine?” Alan blinked.

“Ohh,” Jenna slapped her forehead

    “Shit! What the heck is happening? Adan is dead?” Kelly stared at her phone, reading the news in disbelief. She quickly went to find Jenna and saw her giggling with Bruce. Archie’s calm face was there too.“Why aren’t you dressed? The wedding is about to start,” Bruce said.“Have you read the news?” Kelly asked, confused. Adan’s identity wasn’t simple, his death shouldn’t make them this calm! To her surprise, everyone nodded.“My son is alive,” Jenna chuckled.“It’s fake news,” Archie assured.Kelly put her hand on her chest and sighed in relief. “Gosh, my heart almost slipped.” Even though she didn’t know much about Adan, she still liked the boy.…..At Evelyn Brown’s Wedding.“Are you ready?” Kelsey whispered to Bruce. He glanced at her in amusement and chuckled. “I’m already ready,” he said as they entered the extravagant hall, Kelsey’s arm hooked around his.Kelly pouted her lips and wrapped her arms around Norman. “You’re too serious, Mr Lawyer.”“What’s funny about messing with

    “When is he coming?”Jenna rolled her eyes. “Why would I tell you? But soon.”Kelly glared at her and stood up. “Let me go and get ready for the party!” she said, leaving the room.Jenna chuckled. Soon, her phone beeped. She glanced at the screen and raised a brow at the message.“Let’s meet now.”.....In the backyard, near the pool…Jenna stared at Norman’s back as he stood facing the pool, silent. She sighed. She’d been thinking of letting go of the grudge and just ignoring him, but since he texted, she was willing to hear what he had to say.“I'm here,” she said, walking under the canopy and sitting down on one of the chairs.Norman turned around, looking at her, saying nothing.Jenna couldn’t read his expression. She frowned. “Don’t tell me you still have feelings for me?” she blurted, suddenly remembering what Kelly told her.Norman walked closer and sat in front of her, chuckling. “Why would I?”Jenna sighed in relief and nodded. “So why are you looking at me like that?”“I jus

  • Seven Ways To Love A Dangerous Man    Secret Mansion

    Kelly paused as the car door opened. She was surprised to see Bruce getting down from the driver’s seat, while Norman sat in the front passenger seat. That's rare.“Hey,” Bruce smiled at her and opened the back seat door. “Get in.”Kelly looked at him in confusion but still entered. She froze when she saw Archie resting with his eyes closed. What’s happening? she thought.Bruce shut the door and got back into the driver’s seat before starting the engine.“What happened?” Kelly asked. Bruce was the only one she felt close to, after all.“Joshua called Archie,” Bruce said, “about Marcus and Gabriel’s plan to kidnap you.”Kelly froze. She quickly checked her phone and saw Jude and Joshua’s missed calls, along with several messages from them. She scrolled down but didn’t see any call or message from Esteban. She hadn’t been able to reach him since he left almost two weeks ago.“Is Esteban’s line going through? I’ve been unable to call him,” she mumbled.“He’s very busy. We just need to ke

  • Seven Ways To Love A Dangerous Man    The Injection.

    Kelly went to Bruce’s office as soon as she left the company. He told her to come because the injection was ready. When she reached the hospital she was led to his office. She took a deep breath before opening the door, she was surprised to see Norman, Archie and Jenna present.Seeing her, Bruce smiled. “Ahh, she’s here,” he said and stood up, reaching for a bag containing the injection.Jenna smiled and stepped toward her, hugging her. “I’m glad you’re the only one I can trust to take care of him.”Kelly smiled nervously and glanced at the injections. Jenna pulled back and held Kelly’s arms. “I don’t need to tell you anything because I trust you.”Kelly’s heart softened. “You don’t have to worry about anything.” Jenna nodded and glanced at the others.Norman sighed and glanced at her. “Don’t appear before him every time. You don’t have to seduce him…”“Please stop,” Jenna snapped at him. “Are you jealous because you’re the only single one here?”Norman raised a brow while Archie nodd

    “I don't know what's going on anymore. Where is your father?” David asked Joshua as soon as he entered Joshua’s office with Jude “ even Mr Andrew? What are they trying to tell us about Hindley’s grandchildren?”“He said they aren't triplets, but quadruplets,” Jude replied and sighed.David’s eyes widened. “So, does that mean one of them is Hindley and he remembered the past memories?”Jude rolled her eyes. “They aren’t really the same. They have his memories because of the revenge. The Hindley family history is always different from others, that’s the mystery about them.”“But they’re all missing now,” David sighed, glancing at Joshua, who was quietly focused on his laptop.“I know his plan,” Jude chuckled. “He wants to hide them until they grow up. That way, they’ll be old enough to kill or punish anyone they want.”“My guys found out the reason for people’s disappearances” he shook his head. “It’s one of the quadruplets. Can you imagine what will happen when they grow up?”Joshua ch

    “Hello?” Kelly, Kelsey, and Jenna knocked on Norman’s mansion door.“Lisa!!!” Kelly screamed.“No, let’s just enter,” Jenna said, nodding at the guard, who opened the door for them.“Surprise!!!” They all shouted as they walked in, Kelly raising her ring finger proudly.But they froze when they saw Norman, Archie, and Bruce sitting in the living room.Kelly quickly hid her hand and forced a smile. “Oh… hi.”Bruce raised a brow. “What’s the surprise?”“Where’s Lisa?” Jenna asked, looking confused. She’d been texting Lisa, but there was no reply.“Yeah… we came to meet Lisa,” Kelly said nervously, especially with Archie staring right at her.“Jenna… your husband is making me uncomfortable,” she whispered.Jenna glanced at Archie and laughed. “He has sharp eyes, he must have noticed the ring.”“Oh…”“That ring actually has Esteban’s logo. It’s the latest and most expensive Hindley’s product.”“Really? So what do I do? Those fox eyes are…” Kelly said and quickly hid behind Jenna.Jenna gl
