The lights of multiple cameras immediately went off and on as the police cars arrived at the station and Mr. Bamford was confused by all the paparazzi there because he didn't let many people know about the arrest. “What is going on?” Elmer shouted from the back, feeling a wave of nervousness hit him as a look of embarrassment settled on his face. “Who alerts the paparazzi about this?!” That question immediately brought one name to both Elmer and Mr. Bamford's minds, ‘Elijah...’ “That bastard!!” Elmer cried, fear seeping into his voice “Bamford, that boy is not a saint... He's a thug and he's trying to ruin our lives! This is his doing. Our family wealth and reputation had gained us a lot of enemies, and he's just another bitter one who does want to see our family fall-” “But he didn't force your hands to steal company funds from investors and fraud documents... That was your own doing.” Mr. Bamford said with a sigh as he unbuckled his seatbelt. “Investistic Co. is my father's labo

Watching the glass of champagne pop open, Madam Jewel raised her brow, staring at a silver fox, standing in front of her, pouring it into two glasses. “I don't have time to drink, Jacob... My son is locked up, and there is this arrogant, annoying scumbag who now, somehow knows about Harris's will!!” Madam Jewel complained, her face turning red as she continued to rant, her voice getting louder and more agitated with each word that escaped her mouth. Raising a brow, Jacob sighed, taking a seat on the couch next to her, resting his hand on the old woman's shoulder, trying to calm her down as he said, “Elijah knows about Harris’ will? Jewel...”“I don't think he knows the content within it, or else that greedy bastard will use whatever might he has suddenly gained to come for us...” Jewel spat out, angrily. “Remind me why Peach is not dead yet?”“Harris found out the truth while on his sick bed... And in his messed up head, he used all his international power to put a protective barri

Fear flashed across Melina's features and she took a quick step back as Elijah's voice rose and he started to move closer, saying, “Where is my my wife?”“I am in shock too about what just happened...” Melina blurted, covering her mouth with a shaking hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him in horror. “I am not trying to be manipulative, Elijah. Please believe me...”“This is not a fucking theater, Melina... Where. The Hell Are They Going With My Wife?!” “Elijah, you need to calm down now... Shouting at a pregnant woman will not change anything-”“A Pregnant...Woman...?!”A wild laugh that had no humor burst out from Elijah's lips as he stared incredulously at her for a couple of seconds.“You...you're serious...?” Elijah laughed, looking between her and his men. “This is bullshit... Tell me... Melina, look me in my damn eyes and tell me that all the shit you did just now was not just some shitty act?!”The rise in his voice made her flinch. Taking another step closer

The warehouse was quiet as Melina stood there like some dummy, having this look of confusion on her face that gives out the impression she didn't know what Elijah was talking about.“Strap her,” Elijah commended, his face dead of emotions as he stared straight into her eyes like she was a puzzle to solve. Once the boss's order was out in the open, Jerome did not hesitate to grab a rope and then dragged a chair toward Melina, resting it right behind her.Before she could protest or realize what was going on, Jerome locked her down in the chair and bound her wrists along with her ankles with two sets of ropes.“Melina, don't test my patience... I want my wife back, and trust me, I can do anything to make that happen... Is that understood?” Elijah asked, staring straight at her from across the room, his tone deadly serious.Suddenly, his ringtone sounded, and Elijah pulled out his phone, answering the call with his sight still trained on Melina.“Dice,” Elijah mumbled, fear suddenly cre

A knock on Miss Grace's suite door made her tired eyes snap open and forced her to push the comforter off her, getting out of bed.A moment later, when she got to the door and opened it, she immediately had this awful gut feeling that something was wrong, seeing Ryan, Rookie, and Matt standing there with Dice.“What’s wrong, Matt?” Miss Grace asked, hugging her arms around herself for comfort.“We will be gone for a while, but Dice here will be your guard until we get back,” Matt said, forcing a smile, even though he, Ryan, and Rookie had been nothing but freakout since they found out that Peach got kidnapped.“Okay... But where are you guys going at such an hour?” “Work stuff...”Confused by his reply, Miss Grace was speechless for a moment, and the guys turned to leave hurriedly before she came up with another question, but she suddenly blurted out, making them halt, “Is Elijah alright?”Slowly, Ryan turned around with a smile, masking his sadness behind a grin that looked genuine.
