Where's my money?
At sharp Eight-fifty on the dot, Mr. Sue and Mr. Wright were in the conference room, and Mr. Wright's eyes kept going back and forth, looking at his watch over and over again. “If I may ask, Mr. Sue... Who is this client that is making you all stressed?” Mr. Wright finally said out of nowhere, breaking the silence.Stopping in his steps, Mr. Sue looked at Mr. Wright, and then a laugh escaped his lips, making the lawyer flinch at how mocking his laughter was, and then Mr. Sue blurted out, “It’s three minutes after nine, and that bastard is not here. I won!”“Who? Why are you happy that the client forfeited the plan to buy the shares? Isn't that suppose to help Redstone cor. and save it from this financial disaster that is happening now?!”Immediately, Mr. Sue stopped smiling and his face turned serious, causing Mr. Wright to wonder what was going on in his head, and then Mr. Sue said, “You are right. That bastard came to my company yesterday, caused an entire scene, made me make a fool

After everything we went through
The breathtaking view of the city from the transparent window of his office didn't help ease the anger that Charles felt burning in his chest and radiating through every part of his body. Silently he kept swirling the wine in his glass, watching the streets below him. His mind was too preoccupied with his current predicament to take notice of his office door opening and Dana stepping into the room. But a second later, he didn’t react when she cleared her throat to announce her presence.“Hey, handsome,” Dana said, closing the distance between them and wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. Without saying a word, he stiffened in her embrace and then turned around so they were facing each other, and she lifted her eyes to his, and their gazes clashed. “You shouldn't be here,” Charles said without taking his eyes off her face.A frown creased her forehead and she pulled away from him, saying, “Why is your father still requesting to see Nina after what she did to you, having

Trust me on this
The silence from the other end of the door was the only response Ethan was getting and he looked back to see Nina clutching onto her blouse tightly with this uneasy look on her face.“Hello!” Ethan shouted, raising his voice to make sure whoever was at the other end could hear him clearly. “Please identify yourself!”There was a long pause before a soft female voice answered, "It’s room service, sir.”It had been about ten minutes since his first question, so Ethan was kind of skeptical that it took her this long to answer his question, but he still swiped his key card and unlocked the door.But the moment he pulled the door open, Charles's fist slammed into his nose and blood immediately came gushing out from his nostrils.A look of horror crossed Nina's face upon seeing what happened, and she cried, “Charles, stop!”But that only enraged him, so he formed another punch and threw it, however, Ethan was prepared for this reaction and dodged his fist before Ethan landed one on Charles'

Who's fault is it?
The Rider mansion was tense and quiet as Jeff, Jack, Tyler, Austin, Savannah, and Mrs. Rider sat in the living room, staring at each other. The silence was almost deafening, with only a faint crackle of the fire to break the oppressive atmosphere. Finally, when the sound of Mr. Rider's footsteps took over the silence in the hallway, Mrs. Rider jumped from her seat and rushed for the doorway, stopping her husband in the corridor.“Are you seriously doing this?” Mrs. Rider argued with a look of frustration on her face.The family lawyer had stopped by this week, and it was clear to everyone why Mr. Rider needed him, and Mrs. Rider wasn't having it as she continued, “You can't be serious, making Nina the first daughter-in-law of this family.” “It will be more deeming for our family if he doesn't marry her. It's only fair that we prove that the Rider family is capable of owning up to our mistakes and we are not some cowards who will do anything but run away from our problems. It's what

I will handle the rest
With a smug smile on her lip, Dana stood in her room, staring at herself in the mirror with this pleasing look on her face with the phone pressed against her ear, and then her voice came out sad and pitiful, saying, “I am sorry, Sav. But your father is way too powerful for mine to defy. We can’t risk his wrath.” “You incompetent...” Savannah huffed out, feeling frustrated with her best friend. Then she ended the call, throwing her phone onto the bed, and stormed out of her room, heading straight towards Madam Rider’s office.When the door swung open, Madame Rider stood with her hands folded across her chest, her gaze full of annoyance and irritation at Savannah’s unruly behavior. “Mother, father did what that bastard told him to do. He forced Mr. Simone's hands to marry Nina to him! And now we are not only cursed with that idler but also his ill-bred slut!” Savannah spat out, walking closer to Madame Rider. “We cannot allow that idiot to ruin our family name. Our reputation!”It wa

Congratulations, Master
His father was ringing his line, the first of its kind since they became blood-related, and Ethan hesitated to pick it up, wondering if Mr. Rider was calling to lash out at him for beating up Charles. Silently Nina watched him struggle internally, his expression displaying his indecisiveness on whether to answer the call or not.“Here’s your bowl of noodles.” Mr. Hester announced proudly, placing a plate in front of Nina. But then he noticed her staring at Ethan in concern, and he, too, turned his focus on Ethan.When he finally felt their eyes on him, Ethan slowly rested the chopsticks and picked up his phone, answering the call.“Hello?” He asked, eyeing the stain coming from the bowl.“You have what you want.” Mr. Rider's emotionless voice sounded through the phone.“Be clear,”“You and Nina have the Rider and Simone blessing to get married.”Raising his eyelid, Ethan locked eyes with her, and the intimate way he gazed at Nina had her heart skipping a beat.Slowly, without breaki

I will erase you
When the two got into the shop with no one in sight, Drak watched Ethan silently for a while, and when he was about to speak, Ethan cut him off, “I want you to be my groom.”An abrupt laugh crawled out of the bottom of Drak’s gut and he couldn’t stand still for a while until he subconsciously met Ethan's dull eyes and immediately froze with a serious expression.“Why? Don’t you have friends? It was just yesterday we were enemy. Respectfully, I haven't earned myself such an outstanding position in your life.” Drak said, aggressively clearing his throat when he saw that Ethan’s bore expression had not changed.“Do you want one on one private lessons with me or not.” Ethan asked flatly, his voice devoid of emotion.Immediately, Drak's eyes lit up, and then he raised a brow, grinning mischievously, and asked, “Why such a luxurious offer?”“This wedding could be some trap, and if anything goes south, I want Nina out of there and somewhere safe.” Ethan said simply.A sudden frown crossed Dr

Where the hell is Nina?
On the day of The wedding, the very famous crystal hall was packed with people who didn't even know Ethan or care for him because Deborah made sure to invite many people within the elite circle. They all showed up, making Ethan and Nina's wedding one of the most attended weddings in the city for that year.The hall felt like a marketplace, people mumbling here and there, waiting to know if this is real, that Nina Simone was marrying the bastard of the Riders instead of the legitimate son of the Walker family.“So, it's true. Your brother was screwing Charles's fiancé even before he became a Rider.” Trevon said as he stood in the hall with Jeff and his brothers. “Damn… Nina must have been really mad at him and hopes to disgrace my boy Charles if she chose a servant to lose her virginity to instead of him.” “That bastard is not my brother.” Jeff lashed out, spankling tension between him and Trevon.Putting his hands up, Trevon stepped back and said, “Okay. Okay. I'm just teasing.'' “D

Something this scandalous
Nina seemed to be missing, and Ethan was getting arrested... This was one heck of a scene that Madam Rider, her boys, and Savannah couldn't help but beam at with pleasure. “This wedding couldn't have gone any better than this,” Savannah mumbled as she gazed, all smiles, at Charles and Ethan.“Where the hell is she? I swear, I am going to...” Charles said, pausing when he saw how unphased Ethan looked.Then one police officer stared Ethan in his eyes and said, “You were the last person that was with Miss Simone and we have evidence to proof that. If we can't find her, you will be charged with kidnapping or even worse. So why don't you tell Mr. Walker what he needs to know and reduce your sentence?” His remark quieted down the hall a bit as the guests and others waited for an answer, but when Ethan refused to speak, Mr. Simone rushed from his seat and shouted in his face, “You bastard, what have you done to my daughter?!”But his words seemed to fall on deaf ears because Ethan was cal

Years in prison
As Charles was about to get in his car, Mr. Rider grabbed his shoulder, causing Charles to stop in his step and glance back at him, his brows furrowing together."What is this?!" Mr. Rider asked."What is what? Your son not only committed infidelity with Nina, but he also had the guts to kidnap her. Haha, you know, your family is really daring, allowing your bastard to humiliate mine in such a disrespectful manner." Charles said, eyeing Mr. Rider's hand on his shoulder, and when he noticed his glare, he pulled his hand off Charles.For a moment, Mr. Rider studied his eyes with a straight face and then scoffed, "You young people these days are so indecisive. How can you clutch on to both sisters.."When a glance of fear crossed Charles's eyes, he frowned at him and said, "Remember, my daughter is Savannah, Dana's best friend. I knew a long time ago that you were playing both sisters and said nothing because, well, it's not my business. But now, you are dragging my family reputation in
