Chapter 111~ Mr X

ELIAS. I frowned deeply, looking around the long, oval-shaped oak table. Apart from the representative, there was no one else who was new. I knew everyone in this room. I chuckled nervously, starting to think this man and Mr X had tricked me. Did they chew my money for nothing?“Sir, you must be joking. Mr X is not here yet. Could he perhaps be outside the room?” I asked, looking at the doors again. Was this a prank?The shareholders began to whisper among themselves, and Dad frowned, making my stomach churn with nerves. No… this wasn’t happening. I had spent millions of dollars to get this deal for Mr X to disappoint me at the last minute. How could he not show up after promising me?“Mr Hart, do I look like a joker to you? My boss told me to come here today. He’s already in this room,” the representative said. He didn’t look like his arrogant self today. At first, I thought it was because the chairman of the Hart group was here, but now that I think about it, he was being too

Chapter 112~ Lost support

LUCAS. A smirk curled on my lips as I watched everyone's shocked faces. A few weeks ago, Wilson had reported that Elias had been trying to reach me through my alias, Mr X. I decided to give him a little push by instructing my representative, Josh Hawkins, to give him some attention. As expected, Elias took the bait. He didn't shy away from announcing to the whole world that he had managed to bag an alliance with Savvy Tech, not knowing it was all a trap to make him lose everything. This was not how I planned to reveal my identity to my father, but Elias had to be put in his place, lest he think we were of the same level. “I had no clue. Why didn't you tell me?” Dad asked, his voice sounding a little sad at first. However, he quickly recovered, a huge grin that reached his ears curling on his lips. “I can’t believe this! I always knew you were hardworking, but this? Savvy Tech is a company that thrived to the top and got listed within three years. It’s been bagging the business of

Chapter 113~ Find Mrs Hart

LUCAS.It didn’t take long for Elias to barge into my office after I left the conference room. I did expect him to confront me after the humiliation he endured, so I wasn't surprised. “You bastard! You stole my woman, now you’ve stolen everything that belongs to me too. Are you happy now?” He yelled, his eyes bloodshot and his jaw clenched as he glared at me with hatred flitting through his eyes. He looked like he wanted to strangle me to death, but that would only happen in his imagination. I chuckled darkly, arching an eyebrow. “Of course, I’m happy. You’re paying dearly for what you did to Sophia, do you expect me to be sad about it?” I remarked, a smirk crossing my lips. “Lucas, you’re such a bastard, do you know that?”“So, you’re no longer pretending to call me uncle?” “I’ve never seen you as an uncle. We are the same age, and I hate that I have to treat you respectfully! However, what did I do to make you hate me so much? Is it because I had Sophia first?” Elias spat. The

Chapter 114~ Let me go

SOPHIA. My head throbbed as I squinted my eyes, opening them slowly. What happened? I remembered going through baby stores with Carla, and then while we were looking at a few cute clothes, I felt a sharp sting in my neck. The last thing I heard was Carla's scream before I lost consciousness.My heart sank to my feet when it dawned on me. I had been kidnapped. The first thing I did was to place a hand on my belly as though I was checking if my babies were ok. Since it was a multiple pregnancy, I had already started showing, although to others, it would look like I was just bloated or I had gained a little weight. “It’s about time you woke up. I was beginning to think you were dead.”A voice brought me back to the present, and my heart sank when I saw the man who was seated on a couch near the window. I was in a room with a large bed and a balcony. It looked like a normal villa... not the usual place someone would take someone they kidnapped. I glared at Elias. “Why did you brin

Chapter 115~ Elias falls

ELIAS. When I left Lucas’s office, I went to my father’s office, but before I could knock on the door, I overheard his conversation with a strange man. “.... how are your acting skills?” Dad’s voice came. “Don’t worry, Mr Hart. I will act so well, you will also think I’m your real son,” the man replied. I coiled my hands into fists, anger bubbling in my chest. So this man was already trying to replace me. Where would that leave me now?“Good. Of course, in the beginning, you shouldn’t act like you’re fond of me. You can even be angry that you had to suffer out there while your father was a rich man. That would make our story more believable.” “What about your current son?”“Don’t worry about that one. He will no longer be my son soon.” I clenched my jaw, walking away as anger and hatred flared through me. All this man ever wanted was to have the company to himself. He has no parental traits. Perhaps that was why he was never blessed with a child. He adopted me, but never treat

Chapter 116~ Refusing to suffer

VIOLET. I clenched my fists as I watched Elias being taken away by the police, anger flashing through my eyes. Dammit! I didn’t expect him to be so foolish as to kidnap Sophia. What was he thinking? Of course, Lucas would find a way to locate his wife. Elias had brought his downfall upon himself. Now, what will happen to me and my child? Earlier, a few men came to get me, and then they called Mike and forced him to spill where Elias had taken Sophia. Afraid of what might happen to me, Mike caved and told them Elias's location. I didn’t know how they found out about us, they must have kept this card so they could use it later. And it worked since Mike has always been foolishly in love with me. However, his foolishness made him fall into their trap. They act like they are good people. But they are so cunning and calculating, using whatever means they can to get the information they want. Now, my only source of livelihood had fallen, how was I going to survive from now on?“Let’s

Chapter 117~ I love you

SOPHIA. My mind kept reeling with thoughts as we headed back to the villa. The air was filled with tension, and for some reason, Lucas was quiet. I was waiting for him to address the elephant in the room, but he hadn’t said anything yet. Elias’s words kept ringing in my head. Lucas had met my father before he died? What did they talk about?I knew there were things he hadn’t told me, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with my father. As for his identity as Mr X, he had told me the day before the meeting, so I wasn't surprised when Elias mentioned it.#Flashback to the previous day#“Mmmmm, that feels so good, babe. Thank you,” I said while Lucas massaged my back. I was lying on my side on the bed while Lucas helped to ease the tension in my lower back. After work, my back had been feeling a little sore, so I asked Lucas for a massage, and he happily agreed. He always loved an opportunity to get his hands on my body, not like I was complaining or anything. “Is it better no

Chapter 118~ A female voice

SOPHIA. My heart slammed against my ribcage as Lucas’s words sank in. So, he married me because my father offered him twenty percent shares of the Adams Group?I felt my heart clench as a wave of anger washed over me at the betrayal. Please tell me this wasn't real... Lucas wouldn't do that to me, would he?“So you’re one of the major shareholders in the Adams group? Why didn’t you tell me? Were you afraid that I wouldn’t marry you and you wouldn’t get your hands on the shares?” I questioned, yanking my hand out of his hold. Hurt flickered through his eyes at the move. “Soph, my love, it’s not what you think. I didn’t marry you because of the shares-““But you just said my father had offered to give you shares if you agreed to marry me. How long had you been plotting to marry me so you could become a major shareholder in my company? I thought you were sincere with your feelings. And that story about how you've loved me for years... was that a lie too?” A glint of guilt flashed t

Chapter 119~ The owner of the voice

SOPHIA.When I went to the company the next day, Carla engulfed me in a bone-crushing hug. “I was so worried, hun. I’m so glad you’re ok and Elias is finally behind bars,” she said, pulling back from the hug. A smile crossed my lips. “He finally went crazy and kidnapped me, not knowing it would mark the beginning of his suffering.” The news was everywhere by this morning. Daniel Walter was picked up from his expensive mansion in the east of the city and taken to the police like a regular criminal. It was true what they said. No one was above the law. Even Kings and Queens were unanswerable to someone somehow. Elias and Daniel probably thought that a day when someone would uncover their crimes would never come. I wanted to visit Elias and ask him why he murdered my parents, but I'll do that later. I had told Lucas about Elias's adoption last night, and he said he would investigate the matter. “You did it, girl! You finally avenged yourself and your parents. I’m sure your parents

Chapter 120~ No lies

SOPHIA.I froze. My heart slammed so hard against my ribcage that I could hear it in my ears. “I’m sure you’ve never heard of me, right?” Her sharp voice reached my ears. She had a smile on her face, but her words were laced with a hidden mocking tone. Before I could reply, she beat me to it, adding, “Luca, don’t tell me you never told Sophia about us. She looks so surprised.” A flare of fierce jealousy washed over me. How dare she call him by that name? Only I could call him Luca. “Arelli…” Lucas said through gritted teeth. “Mind the way you speak to my wife… You and I were over a long time ago. And you know you’re not allowed to call me that.” Arelli turned to look at Lucas, a sad look flitting through her eyes before glancing at her father. “Dad, see what I told you? This is why I needed you here to help me pump some sense into Lucas. I’m the only woman he can marry.”The elderly man chuckled awkwardly. “Lucas, I’m sorry about this. I spoiled my daughter so much. There was li
