"The last words that came out of his mouth were, 'Daniel Crestwell,'" Diego finally told Dante. "Damn, that man is really not a good person, and now he is a candidate for a position in the House of Assembly. What if we use this publicity as the perfect time to take him down?" Dante asked Diego, his eyes filled with curiosity. Diego smirked. "Do you think it's that easy? If it were, we would have had him behind bars already. He has done a lot of crimes, but he knows how to clean up after himself." Diego told Dante that he had received a business investment proposal from Daniel Crestwell. At first, he didn't want to accept it, but now he thought he would, just to know what exactly was going on with Daniel's man. "I will get close to him and get most of the information from his mouth... or what do you think?" he asked Dante. Diego isn’t someone who usually asks for people's opinions, but today he did—which meant he really wanted to move forward. He was tired of being stuck in one place.

Jane is missing -012

Back at the estate, when Ms. Rose was on a call with Clarita earlier, Diego was passing through the lobby when he overheard Ms. Rose saying, "What do you mean you are looking for Miss Stadler? She is not at home! I thought you were with her! Hello??" But Clarita ended the call. Diego turned and went straight to Ms. Rose."What were you saying just now, Ms. Rose?" he asked. Even when Ms. Rose tried to deny knowing anything and attempted to divert Diego's attention, it wasn’t working."I heard what you were saying just now. You can't lie to me. I have ears, so answer me—what happened to Miss Stadler?" he demanded.Ms. Rose hesitated but finally admitted, "Dante and Clari have been searching for her for a while now."Diego’s expression changed. He rubbed his head and then dropped his hands. "What do you even mean by Jane not being home? I saw her a few hours ago, and she isn’t even feeling well. So what do you mean by that?" he asked Ms. Rose.Trying to escape Diego, she said, "I have so

Gaslighting -013

Shocked, Diego's eyes widened, his hands dropping to his sides. The moment Jane realized what she had done, she turned and ran. Without hesitation, Diego ran after her.As she neared Dante and John, who were standing by the car, she shouted, "Open the door for me!"Dante and John exchanged confused glances, unsure of what was happening. Jane reached the car, yanked the door open, and jumped inside. "Drive!" she commanded.Before Dante could get in, Diego caught up and stopped him. "Don't," he ordered firmly.Dante and John stood frozen, caught between Diego and Jane, unsure whose orders to follow."I'm your boss. Do as I say," Diego told them.Jane, from inside the car, countered, "And I'm your boss too. Follow my orders!"Diego reached for the door handle, but it was locked. He turned to Dante. "Open the door. Now."John hesitated, then clicked the unlock button on the key fob. Diego instructed him, "Drive us home. Dante, bring the other car you came with."Jane was about to step out

Emotional Turmoil-014

“I just...Diego…” Jane’s voice was quieter now, softer. “When you held me like that, it felt like I was safe for a second. I felt comfort and these zeal inside of me" these time around she was sure of what she was feeling but she doesn't want to ruin the friendship they have, she doesn't want distraction from her plans.He looked up at her, brushing strands of hair away from her tear-streaked face. “like I said You’re not alone princess Not as long as I’m here.”“But I don’t understand you sometimes,” she whispered. “sometimes you are sweet, sometimes you are possessive, sometimes you don't care, how many personalities do you even have, and why do you have so much secret?”Diego stood up slowly, as if the weight of her question sank deeper than the floor beneath him. He sighed, raking a hand through his hair, then turned to face the window.“I’m not used to this,” he said, voice low. “Letting people in… I’ve spent most of my life building walls.”Jane stood up. “I’m not asking you to

A Cunning Reunion-015

From Lucy and Daniel’s perspectiveThe morning sun barely filtered through the heavy drapes of the Crestwell estate, but the house was already awake. The silence was broken only by the faint hum of a lullaby playing from a child's toy in the corner of the nursery. Nathaniel sat cross-legged on the plush navy rug, his little hands fiddling with colorful wooden blocks. A small toy car lay forgotten beside him.The boy, only five years old, had the unmistakable Crestwell features—dark brown hair that curled slightly at the edges and sharp eyes that carried more depth than most children his age. His expression was unreadable, serious even, as if he were born into the weight of secrets he didn’t yet understand. Dressed in a neatly ironed white shirt with tiny suspenders clipped to his navy trousers, he looked like a miniature version of his father. The only softness to his appearance was the stuffed bear he clutched to his side—a quiet contradiction to the world he was being raised in.His

A snake called lucy-016

Later that evening...“Did he tell you, or you just assumed?” Lucy asked, arms folded as she stared Daniel down. He couldn’t say a word, his lips parting but no explanation coming forth.“Go check on Nathan with the nanny,” she ordered coldly, turning away. “I’ll handle her myself.”That night, Lucy sat on the edge of her luxurious bed in the Crestwell estate, dressed in a silky pink nightie. Her hair was packed into a neat bun, a green face mask clinging to her skin. With a glass of wine in one hand and her phone in the other, she scrolled through her social media feed with slow, deliberate swipes.Her eyes suddenly widened.Jane.She had stumbled across Jane’s profile.“The Jane I used to know never posted anything,” Lucy muttered under her breath. “I can see so many posts now... must be her assistant handling it.”Curious and burning with jealousy, Lucy tapped into Jane’s likes and comments. Almost all were from high-ranking officials, influencers, and elites. Her brows furrowed de

confrontation-017

Jane watched Lucy walk away, her wretched outfit swaying awkwardly as she left the cafeteria with her head slightly bowed, as if trying to portray the perfect image of a grieving sister. Jane let out a faint chuckle under her breath, shaking her head in disbelief.“Oh wow… what a story, Lucy,” she murmured, leaning back in her chair, her eyes following Lucy until she disappeared from view.The cafeteria felt a little colder now. Jane’s fingers unconsciously tapped the surface of her cup. Her instincts told her Lucy hadn’t changed—not even a little. If anything, she’d only gotten smarter at pretending.Her phone buzzed. It was a message from Lucy:“I just got home, Nathan said hi.”Jane stared at the screen for a few seconds, her lips twitching slightly. She didn't want to accuse anyone yet without proof, but something about Sylvia had been off lately.“Okay. Glad you got home safely. I’ll talk to you later.” she replied briefly.Meanwhile, Lucy had just exited the building and was sli

The Silent Threads of Truth – 018

"Why are all these happening to me, huh?!" Jane screamed, her voice breaking as she cried uncontrollably. Dante reached over, trying to calm her down."Jane, we can only save ourselves now. Although I’ll try my best to save you, please, tighten your seatbelt. Try to hold yourself together, okay? I won't let you injure yourself again," Dante encouraged her gently while struggling to maintain control of the steering.Luckily, Dante spotted a massive pile of trash ahead. “Hold on, Jane!” he shouted, then swerved the car with precision and crashed it into the heap, forcing it to a halt.Immediately, he turned back. "Jane, are you alright?"She nodded slowly. "Yes... and you?""I'm fine," he assured her, exhaling in relief. He quickly pulled out his phone and called John, requesting help.John didn’t waste time. He contacted Liam, one of Diego's trusted bodyguards. Liam brought a car and picked up both Dante and Jane. Even though they insisted they were okay, he still drove them straight t

Confessions Under the Night –019

Diego caught Jane just as she was about to slip away from the crowd. He held her hand firmly, drawing her close. Her eyes were red from tears and anger, yet she tried to appear calm."I didn’t mean to interrupt you," she managed, her voice wavering. "I just… I don’t want to be in the middle of all of this."Diego noticed the fresh bandage on her head. His tone softened, laced with concern. "What happened to you?" he asked, his eyes searching hers for the truth.Jane’s voice trembled as she replied, "Not that it matters. Enjoy yourself—it's not as if there's anything here I should be jealous of."Diego’s eyes flashed as he interrupted, "You are mistaking me. Let me explain."But Jane was not ready to let him speak. "She's someone who doesn't want to leave my side, even though she's married. I have nothing to do with her!" Her words tumbled out, anger and hurt mingling in every syllable.At the mention of the word "married," Jane’s expression softened slightly, though anger still simmer

A Name From the Past–020

The night was quiet. The moonlight spilled through the windows of Jane’s room, painting silver shadows on the floor. She sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes red from the whirlwind of everything—Diego’s kiss, his confession, her past, and that lingering question that refused to die inside her."How did you know my name was Rose?" she whispered again, softer this time, not with anger but with a quiet ache.Diego didn’t answer right away. Instead, he walked to the shelf on the far side of the room. With calm hands, he picked up a wooden photo frame, then another, and another. He brought them over and sat beside her.“Because I’ve known you… long before you ever knew me again,” he said quietly. “Before you became Jane Stadler… you were Rose. My Rose.”Jane frowned slightly, confused, eyes falling on the photos in his hands. Her breath caught.There, in the center of one picture, was a younger version of her. Her face was rounder, cheeks full, hair in two short pigtails. And standing bes
