DEVONI was satisfied with how things ended up. I was fatigued due to the day's events. I needed rest, so I went back to my mansion immediately and called Laura to come and meet me."Devon, I thought you were no longer interested in me now that you have a wife?" She seemed to be complaining, but I wasn't in the mood to listen."Enough with that nonsense. Just leave everything you are doing and hurry to my house," I said in a commanding voice. She paused for a few minutes before saying, "okay," and hung up. I nodded in satisfaction.The phone rang again, and I thought she was calling to give me an excuse. I was infuriated and prepared to tell her my mind when I saw it was her grandfather. He picked up the call."How are you doing, my lovely grandson?""Grandpa! How is your health?""I am great, son. I won't be dying anytime soon; these old bones of mine are stronger than they look. Devon, I have something for you. I wa

DEVONAs the conversation continued, Gregory kept mentioning or praising his granddaughter now and then."I was wondering, Devon, what do you think of my granddaughter?" he asked in the middle of our discussion."She is cool. I think she is a perfect girl," I answered with a lack of interest, but I didn't let it show on my face."So, you say she's perfect. What do you think about the two of you being together?" I choked on his words."You must be joking, Mr. Gregory.""No, I am serious. I think it will do well for both of our families, it will make us all one big family. Come on, I am sure your father will agree," he said with a smile.I was looking at the girl, hoping she would object, but instead, she blushed and bent her head while taking peaks towards me."Your suggestion is great, Mr. Gregory, but you see, the problem is that I'm married," I showed my wedding ring. Evelyn appeared disappointed when she saw

KARENThe sky was getting dark, and the sun slowly made a retreat. I guess it was already evening. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I had imagined Devon breaking in to save me. With time passing, I learned how naive it was for me to think like that instead of finding a way to escape.The door opened, revealing Wigan in a black wedding suit. A smile appeared on his face. Two young girls were standing beside him, holding a wedding gown."This is the gown I got for you. It's beautiful, right? Wear it now; the priest is waiting for us." He signaled the two girls and watched gleefully as they got rid of my old clothes and helped me wear the white gown."You demon, you will regret this," I cursed bitterly. I hadn't yet lost hope; Wigan would never expect that somebody within his rank would help me, and that was my greatest trump card.The girls escorted me out of the room after dressing me. We walked down the long corridor and arrived in a wide garden. The garden had been decorated

KAREN "What were you thinking about going to a party by yourself and leaving at that time?" Derek scolded."I am sorry, I didn't expect this would happen. I just felt uncomfortable at the party and decided to leave," I tried to explain.Devon looked at me and didn't know what to say. He sighed and clutched his injured arm."Does it hurt too much?"He glared at me. "Try to get shot by a bullet; you can tell how much it hurts if you do so.""Why are you always like this, Devon? Can't you be a bit softer sometimes?""Don't think that because I saved you, I have started loving you. In short, I hate you more than before. I am just doing this because of the possibility of you carrying my child."I was hurt by his words but didn't try to show it. Soon, our car pulled over at the hospital."Will the doctors agree to admit you considering it was a gunshot wound?" I asked worriedly."My people must have already contacted them beforehand. With my connections, everything must have already been s

KAREN After some time, a big car stopped in front of us. A man came out from the car and ran towards me. Meanwhile, a young girl got out from the car and stood there.“What happened, Mr. Devon?” he asked me, while I could see fear visible in his eyes.A fat woman came in front of him and said, “Lewis, he was the one who made trouble for us. His girlfriend taught our daughter wrong. You should make him believe and do what you can to have her arrested. She needs to learn a good lesson today,” she said to him. But to her surprise, he said,“What is your problem? Mr. Devon is the richest billionaire. Speak carefully, otherwise, it won’t end well.” He has sat down on his knees and started pleading in front of me. “Mr. Devon, please forgive her; she won’t do it again. Please.”“You want me to forgive you, tell your wife to apologize to me, otherwise, I’
