Nina had always been a brilliant student, which led her to receive scholarships and attend the same prestigious school as Nora. However, her good days at school did not last long.Nina’s mother Kristen was a sex addict. As a promiscuous woman, she couldn’t control her lust and involved herself with multiple sugar daddies.Shockingly, one of them turned out to be their school’s principal.When the principal’s wife discovered their affair, she was furious and wanted to settle scores. Unable to locate Kristen, she decided to lash out at Nina instead.Nora vividly remembered that day and the chaos that ensued.In the middle of classes, the principal’s wife barged into the classroom, dragged Nina to the school field, and beat her violently. The shocking scene gathered a crowd, and the entire school witnessed the commotion.If not for Nora alerting the authorities, Nina would never have been able to leave in a single piece.As a result, the authorities sent the principal’s wife to the polic
“Nina?” A surprised cry sounded from the distance, halting Nina in her tracks. She turned around to notice a familiar yet unexpected acquaintance.It was none other than her boss, Victor Levigne.On second thought, it wasn’t surprising for him to be here, since he also belonged to the upper echelons of society.However, to Victor, it was a shock.Since Nina was an intern at his company, Victor more or less knew about her background, hence arousing such a huge reaction from him.He made his way toward her and, as usual, was about to greet her with a hug.However, before he could even touch her fabric, a strong masculine body settled itself between them, preventing Victor from hugging Nina.Both Nina and Victor looked at the person in bewilderment, not knowing what he was up to.Though momentarily stunned, Victor quickly regained his composure.“CEO Luxton,” Victor acknowledged, his tone carefully neutral. “A pleasure to see you.”Jayden’s response was deliberated, his voice containing
Nina shot Madison an icy glare. However, before she could respond, a sudden jolt of pain shot through her knee as she was kicked from behind. Cold beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her lips pressed together in a tight line as she fought to regain her composure. The sound of her knees knocking on the floor was loud, and everything around her seemed to blur as the world momentarily focused on that pulsing pain. As she fell, a shadow crept over her. The sensation of fingers entwined in her hair sent a tingling shiver down her scalp. With a forceful tug, her head got yanked backward by a tight grip on her hair. Madison’s lips curled into a cruel grin, her eyes glinting with a twisted satisfaction as she enjoyed Nina’s vulnerable state. This was the face that Jayden admired, right? Then she would destroy it. With malicious intent, Madison stepped forward and lifted her arm to deliver a sharp slap across Nina’s face that would probably cripple her face. However, before her ha

“Miss Santiago, I did not expect such a behavior from you,” the principal bellowed angrily. “I understand you feel provoked, but violence is never the answer.”Although he was proud to have a diligent student like her in his institute, Madison had the backing of the Luxton family.The nurse attended to Madison’s swollen face, applying a cold compress to her bruised cheek.Her tear-stained face twisted in pain as she winced, “It hurts!” she whimpered.With each minute, Madison’s sobs grew louder, as she yelled, “I can’t believe she did this to me! She’s fucking crazy!”The principal’s temples throbbed upon seeing the situation unfold in front of him. “Madison, could you please calm down? We’re here to address the issue.”Madison’s face was now purple and blue, her swollen features barely recognizable. Her mascara had smudged, leaving dark streaks down her cheeks, mingling with her tears.He was positive that Madison’s appearance would undoubtedly lead to serious consequences for Nina.
Madison watched their exchange with immense satisfaction. She was ecstatic upon seeing Jayden's unwavering support for her.See? And Nina still thought she mattered.An evil grin formed on her swollen face, her voice dripping with disdain. “Didn’t you hear him, Nina? I don’t understand what you’re being so arrogant for. It’s a fact that you beat me up.”“These bruises are evidence of it. Do you think you can get out of it unscathed? Nothing good will come out if you continue to be stubborn.” Madison said haughtily.“However, if you kneel and apologize to me, I can consider not taking legal measures against you.”Madison had always thrived on her power, and now, with Jayden’s backing, she felt invincible.Nina’s hands trembled slightly at her sides and glanced at Jayden who was silent. 'You can do whatever you want, and I’ll be your strongest backer,'Once upon a time, those words had given her a sense of security, a belief that he would protect her no matter what.However, as she sto
“She should be at the mansion.” Nora analyzed confidently. “Think about it, the most dangerous place is often the safest place.” The corner of his lips twitched as Liam found her theory to be ridiculous, yet strangely plausible at the same time. Women had a way of seeing things from angles that often differed from men. As her comadre, perhaps it was just as Nora said. He immediately conveyed Nora’s words to Jayden, who too fell into a brief silence after listening to her reasoning. Liam cleared his throat awkwardly and suggested. “Why don’t you search the entire mansion once again?” “Thanks. I’ll do that.” Jayden acknowledged before hanging up. Drawing a deep breath, he turned back to the guards and ordered them again. “Do a thorough search of the entire manor again, every room, every corner.” Meanwhile, he made his way toward his bedroom. The master bedroom was a grand stretch. The gloomy gray tones that Jayden had once favored now had a minimalist theme that was meticulously
“You’ll pay for the sins you’ve committed.” With those words, Mrs. Heath left the premises, with her husband by her side. Jayden was unfazed by the commotion. However, the tranquillity that followed the couple’s exit was short-lived. Soon, the sound of his cell phone ringing broke the silence. A furious voice came through the other end. "Will you really go that far for a woman?? Jayden, I’m warning you. Before I take things into my own hands, you better release Madison.” Hearing William’s roar, Jayden instantly held the phone away from his ear. He had little patience for his father’s outburst. Hence, he passed the phone to Rick, who stood nearby. Rick accepted the phone and answered respectfully. “Old master,” he began, his tone steady and measured, “this matter is not as simple as you think.” The Heath Corps. recently invested in constructing the largest amusement park in the South. The benefits were huge and Michael Heath wanted quick success. Hence he made use of poor-quality
