Marietta's POVI clenched my fist, holding the edge of my overflowing, gluggy red gown. Anger surged through me. My throat tightened, every ounce of my body wanted me to send a slap across her face but I wouldn’t dare do that.The kind of name I’ve built in Paris wasn’t something I would want to ruin because of some mother fuckers. I’m sure none of those people know who I am.Over the years, I’ve been on a low. Letting every organisation I donated to. Including the ones I worked with, not to put my name out there. I don’t want to be seen on TVs as well. It just to protect myself, and Aiden. I know how dangerous that can get if at all our identities got revealed. Till now, no one knows who is behind Ardor Enterprise. They all assumed it was a man.“Ma’am, this way please.” One of the security guard interfered, and in the twinkle of an eye Morgan sent a slap across his face, leaving me and everyone dumbfounded.That’s so like her. That anger. She will never change. Not even in years.

Vivian eventually snuck in and visited Sean in the hospital. She clicked her tongue in disappointment after talking to the doctor and assuring her that it was superficial injuries only, nothing that could endanger his life. "What a pity," she muttered.She sent a text to Sierra: [I came to see. He is still alive.]Sierra read the message and made no response. She laid her phone aside and drank off the remaining content of her drink, cleared her bill, and left the bar. Her steps were unsteady.Two young men who had been watching her all night saw their opportunity behind her. A gorgeous lady drinking by herself was easy prey. As Sierra stood by the roadside checking her phone—it was just past nine—the streetlights bathed her in a soft halo, casting her shadow long across the pavement.Although it was still early, the alley behind the bar was deserted. Taxis rarely passed through such narrow streets. She realized it would be difficult to get a ride, so she called Vivian.The phone conne

By the time I opened my eyes, my vision blurred. Faint voices, as well as bright lights, were the only things I could hear and see. I felt myself in motion, the word “Get an oxygen,” echoed aloud in my head, giving me a migraine.Even though I was on my deathbed, the only thing I kept saying was, “Save my son. Where’s Aiden?” Tears rolled down my cheeks while I struggled to stay awake. But that didn’t work. I felt a syringe prick me in the arm—like that, sleep consumed me whole. ******************“She will be fine,” I heard faint voices, which soon became clear as soon as my eyes opened. “Fuck,” I whimpered, feeling pain in my head. My hand flew to my forehead, only to see that it had been bandaged already. Quickly, I almost jumped out of bed when the door flew open, revealing Aiden and Jaxon coupled with the doctor. Relief flooded through me, my heart returned to its resting place, a smile spreading across my lips, as I beckoned to Aiden with tears pricking my eyes. “Come, baby

Marietta's POV My legs wobbled beneath me immediately after the word “Marry” left Aiden’s lips. I signaled the guard to lead him to the car.“I’m sorry about that…he’s just a kid,” I apologised quickly, walking away, not knowing what else to say. I didn’t stay away from a man for five years to begin another miserable life in New York. I’m back again, bigger, and I’m never going to be that girl I was with any man. Not even Silas.“Will I see you again?” Carl shot back, but I wouldn’t even dare to look back. I don’t think I want to have anything to do with any man again—at least not now. “Drive,” I commanded the driver who revved the engine back to life, “I just called Mr. Williams. He’s on his way,” My personal assistant replied while I watched him roll up his sleeve to check his watch. “Okay,” was all I could say while I threw my head against the backseat.“Mommy, is everything okay?” Aiden broke the silence, seeing I was troubled. One very good thing Aiden takes after me is conc

Marietta's POVJade’s POV“Where's my son?” I dashed out of my study room, making my way to the living room, my eyes darting from the maid to the guards. “He's inside his room,” one of them finally answered. I swallowed hard, trying to relieve the tension that had tightened my throat, causing me to reach for my medicine quickly.Swallowing it hard, I heaved a sigh before proceeding to Aiden's room. By the time I got to his door, I hung my hand in the air, unable to proceed further. These last few days, I've made Aiden sad. And I've not been able to tell him I'm sorry. It's just a few days until Christmas. And I cannot even make my own son smile again. “Aiden,” I started, knocking on the door, waiting for his approval. I know it's something I can just badge in, but I decided to respect his privacy. “Aiden, Mommy's sorry, okay? Can we talk now?” I questioned, my voice shaky and somewhat remorseful.I don’t know what this is, but all I can say is that I’ve not been standing right by
