“Who could that be? What’s going on between them? There’s something that I don’t know” Aurora thought as she sped off. “I’m certain she knows where Isabelle is... I’ll surely try my best to find her” Aurora vowed as she brought out her phone and dialed Lilian’s number.“Hey Lilian... I was wondering if you what is wrong with Elena, she’s acting strange all of a sudden”“What! Why would she be trying to work for Isabelle, knowing how nasty things could get?”“Why is she helping Isabelle? I thought they had a rift...” Aurora demanded and listened to Lilian’s explanation.She thanked Lilian before hanging up the calling, thinking deeply. “How can someone who’s working for Ann change suddenly?” Aurora thought , confused.“Those bitches, I’m sure they’re planning something huge, they wanna leave me out... what is the thing Isabelle planned in the first place?” Aurora thought and was interrupted by a phone call.“Hello?... yea, this is Aurora. Sure, I’ll meet you there in the next 10 minut

“I’ve noticed some of our files have been touched, especially those in the basement... I’m sending them to the boys for fingerprints” Collin explained.“Hmm... has anybody entered this house apart from the cleaners and lawyers? I need them to start shredding the papers, one evidence about tax evasion and laundering could ship everybody’s ass to jail” Mario warned.“Do you wish to interfere in the ongoing beef?”“No, just let them be, I want you to focus on moving the rest of the money out, I’ll be granting bail to a few criminals, use them in exporting the money” Mario instructed.“Sir, a few guys have gone missing, mostly part of those whom we used for the last operation...” A guard disclosed with fear.“Get their families or closest relatives” Collin ordered.“That’s the problem, we can’t find anybody...” “This has to do with Ann, I’m tired of her surprises, capture her personal assistant, kill her immediately!” Mario ordered and the guards filed out.“Still no news about Isabelle?

“Ann? What have I done to you to deserve all these?” Isabelle demanded with tears and Ann cackled, enjoying the way Isabelle mourned.“You’ve done quite a lot, I don’t know where I’ll start from... is it from the insults I’ve received from you to the excessive care you get from your father or to the tasks of clearing scandals which you’ve created?” Ann retorted.“How is Annabella?” “My daughter is battling with her life all because of you, if anything happens to her, I’ll send your corpse to your father” Ann threatened and Alessandro growled, struggling to lose the ropes.“Oh, the love doll. I can’t get what you see in her, she’s a rude spoilt piece of trash yet you’ve endangered your life countless times because of her, love is indeed blind... And oh, you have more friends now, I hope these one wouldn’t be after your position like the rest” Ann mocked.“You’re shameless huh, having an affair with a married man... You should always bury your head in shame” Alessandro jested and Ann b

Isabelle’s POV I can’t believe mom was killed, noo. The attack looked so real and was meant for dad. Images of my mom’s pale face came to my head and I screamed, scattering my hair.All these years, the demon who killed mom had been living with us. Mom why? Why did you have to die for him?.Is dad aware? Does he know that his mistress killed his wife? I’ll never let you get away Ann, I’ll ruin your life..“Isabelle please open the door” Alessandro pleaded and I sobbed gently.“Just go away” I replied.“I can’t leave, your pains are mine also, I can feel your hurt” He replied and I placed my back on the door, sobbing loudly.“Just let me be for today” I pleaded and he sighed.“If that’s what you want” He replied and walked away.“Why are people so desperate for power? Taking the lives of others meant nothing to them... Mom... All these while I’ve been correct, I knew that your death wasn’t accidental but the man you married paid no attention, all he was concerned about was becoming t

“Have you seen the news? Isabelle is going crazy, you need to stop her!” Ann burst into Roberto’s office, ranting.“What do you want here? I ordered you to leave this place!” Roberto thundered and Ann burst into laughter.“Cut me some slacks, do you expect me to leave after working relentlessly? I’m going to finish what I started...” Ann was interrupted with a knock and Roberto’s new secretary walked inside.“Sir, this is from the magistrate court” He explained and Roberto snatched the paper, reading it immediately.The paper fell out of his hands and he buried his hands in his hair, sighing sadly.“Do you need anything sir?”“No, just leave” He replied.“This is total madness! How would she sue us to court? Does she know the amount she has because of the embezzled money? She’s an ungrateful daughter, you did all your best so she could live the life of a princess yet she wants to throw all that away” Ann ranted.“Get out! What the hell do you want!” Roberto thundered.“I want my posit
