INICIAR SESIÓN“Your in-laws’ mansion is impressive,” Charlotte noted, her eyes roamed around the room. A suitable place for a discussion, if not a refuge.”“It’s the only place you won’t feel entitled to sit in,” Amelia shot back, the words laced with annoyance. “You have no right to be here. Say what you came to say, and then leave.”Charlotte smiled, a cold, elegant gesture that didn’t involve her eyes. “I came for two reasons, Amelia. First, to eliminate the noise. Edward Crane will not bother you again. He is an amateur playing a professional’s game, and he just crossed a boundary I cannot tolerate. I will make sure he is apprehended, permanently. Consider it a guarantee. The threat ends now.”Amelia scoffed loudly, and suddenly Charlotte felt the urge to protect her after finding out that she was her daughter.“Weren’t you working with Edward Crane before?” She said challengingly.“I wasn’t! I was indifferent towards his charade with your Inlaw’s but now, I am going to protect what is mine.”T
“What!” Charlotte screamed behind them. The single word sliced through the funerary quiet, an intrusion far louder than any sob.Graham froze, the color draining from his face not in fear, but in the sickening certainty that his carefully constructed world had finally dissolved. He turned around, pulling Amelia with him. The movement was jerky, betraying the panic his eyes refused to show.Charlotte Duke stood in the marble archway, the black dress suddenly seeming less like mourning attire and more like a uniform of war. Her eyes, usually cool and calculating, were alight with a terrifying intensity. They settled instantly on Graham, bypassing Amelia entirely, seeing him only as the architect of her decade of pain.“Switched? My daughter?” Charlotte advanced slowly, each step echoing the hollow clang of inevitability. She didn’t look at Amelia for confirmation; Amelia’s words had been enough. She looked at Graham, demanding a confession only he could give.Helena emerged from the roo
Graham and Helena sat side by side in their latest G-Wagon. She kept smiling gently and entangled her hand into his. Graham was startled but he hid it well. He took her hand and kissed it softly. Each of them were lost in their own silent thoughts.It still seemed like a dream, Graham never believed such warm hearted Helena, his wife could attempt to have him killed. He was still lost in his thoughts when she tapped him again.“We are here, aren’t you getting off my love.” Helena said softly.Love!Graham gave her a soft smile, he alighted from the car and entangled his arm into hers, it had been days since the incident happened but they both kept acting nieve of each other’s sin. Graham didn’t want to attend Jennifer’s funeral, Infact, he had initially turned down the invitation but five of his business associates were invited by Mr Potter so they persuaded him to join in.The more the merrier, isn’t it?As they walked in through the entrance, many eyes followed their stride, not onl
A large flowerpot that overwhelmed its delivery man was brought into the funeral hall. It wasn’t till another hour before the body would be incinerated. Jennifer had miraculously written a will of how she didn’t want her remains subjected to excessive autopsy but to cremate her and scatter her ashes to the wind.Amelia arrived at the funeral home, her long black strapless dress stopped at her knee length. She wore extremely elegant black shoes to fit in with the theme of the funeral. She was totally torn between feeling pity for her once dear friend Jennifer but the thought of their last encounter before her demise was enough to make her feel less remorseful.Drake had insisted that he was going to accompany her but Amelia refused vehemently, this wasn’t the best time to show off their clingy romantic relationship. She was certain Drake knew Leonard might be present at the funeral after all the trio had a history but he was totally wrong because Leonard Lang never showed up.His big b
Leonard felt his legs wobble for sitting down on a spot for way too long. One look at his wrist watch he cussed inwardly. One of the hotel attendants moved toward him with a charming smile on her face. Her dimples sticking out give her a striking resemblance to one of Leonard’s celebrity crushes.“Hello Mr, what can we offer you?”Leonard smiled warmly at her. His eyes ravaged through her perfect face and stunning curves. He couldn’t find his voice immediately as her beauty intimidated him but it didn’t last long before the magical moment ended when Jennifer rushed over to the table.“You can leave us now, he is here for me.” She said to the attendant as she approached.The lady looked over at Leonard and walked out without another word. Jennifer sat in the chair opposite Leonard. Her expression hardened despite the flawless makeup on her face, she still didn’t look attractive to Leonard except her banging body which was the real reason why he lost his relationship with Amelia.“I can
“Why would you want to betray your son?”Freaking bastard! Mr Potter thought inwardly as he pulled out a cigar and lightened it up. The memory of Drake’s question haunted him. He noticed that there was one person in that family that almost didn’t fall for his trick.Even Charlotte Duke that had been in the underworld for such a long time still fell flat for his trickery. There was still a few weeks before the shareholder meeting at Infinity Clothier, all he needed was to tame that freaking family till then.A knock sounded at the door and one of his bodyguards walked in. He used sign language to describe something to him and Mr Potter responded swiftly,“Let him in.”Before he finished his statement, the door opened wide with a loud creaking noise and a tall figure stood in the doorway.“For a split second, I thought you sold me out…father.”“That’s rude Edward, you are blocking the free flow of air in my room.”Edward Crane took two steps towards Mr Potter. He fell on his knees and b
