Threat

Alora“See who would spend a fortune just to seek my presence,” Sonia snapped the moment she spotted me at the reserved empty table with a single bottle of water on it.“I’m surely the special one right now, and I can’t beg to be the next president,” she blurted proudly as she strode forward, stopping at the edge of the table across from me. Her arms crossed, eyelids fluttering with superiority.“What do you want? Because I give no time for commoners these days,” she snapped again, dangling her latest model LV bag before me so I could see the designer’s prints clearly.It sure cost a lot of fortune, and that undoubtedly was my money.I sniffed, holding back my raging heart. I was going to do this, and go through with it, just for Dad’s sake. All those moments I had left him for Annabel, I wished I could have been there for him.Right now, I was back at the mansion and had a second chance at life. How could I not rewrite all my wrongs?“Can you sit?” I pointed to the seat across from m

Oh yeah…I thought.“All right, deal,” she stuttered, standing to her feet and picking up her bag, showing off her manicured fingers and designer-painted nails.“Send me the time to the number I’ll have sent across,” she said, turning away. The sound of the transparent door closing followed.I watched her with so much rage boiling in my heart as she skillfully carried herself with pride, arrogance and then dread. She stormed out of the suite.I slammed my arms furiously against the table, causing the can of water to splash onto the floor. A gush of liquid hit my face forcefully.I sniffed, wiping the water from my face with a napkin, my eyes still fixed on the distance where she had disappeared.More than ever, I wanted to wrap my hands around her throat until she ran out of oxygen. It was pathetic how, after everything, she still flaunted herself, making me look like the failure here.“I believe it’s only the beginning of your fall,” I whispered aloud, gripping the edge of the table a

13. Her visit

AloraThe rest of the drive was silent, my mind drowning in a thousand thoughts.The message, that I should have remained silent, sent a chill crawling over my skin. The thought that someone out there was watching me with hidden intentions made my stomach twist uneasily in the seat.From my peripheral view, Stanley didn’t seem worried, like really worried, as he maneuvered through the street.Why was it that the message was delivered to the mansion just after I had barely left the suite? And why was Stanley the only one who saw it?The only explanation was that maybe, because I hadn’t replied to his text, he had stopped by the mansion before coming here.I wanted to ask if he suspected anyone else who could have sent it, aside from the three already on the list.But no. Lucas couldn’t have, could he? I could still see the hurt and brokenness in his eyes when I slapped him.Or maybe I was wrong? Someone like Lucas, who had treated me cruelly and without emotion in the past, could do wo

14. Wild Smile

Alora “How have you been, my dear?” Dad asked, patting her gently on the back before stepping away.“I’ve been wonderful! Look at me.” Sonia stood and twirled gracefully, showing off her luxurious outfit and radiant skin. “Don’t you see how time has transformed me into a goddess of beauty?” she said with a playful laugh.Dad chuckled, motioning for her to sit beside him.Dad was clearly excited to see Sonia again. I knew I wanted her here, I wanted Dad thrilled, but certainly not like this.I should’ve been furious. Dad had made her sit on his right, while I was left on the other side, as if we were one perfect, happy family. But I held my peace. If only he knew the devil he was adoring, the same one he’d missed for years, maybe by now he’d be vomiting his half-chewed pie.“I can see you’re doing great. But you forgot to come check on me all these years,” Dad said, his voice tinged with emotion.“Oh, popsie, I never forgot you! It’s just that…” She turned her eyes toward me while I g

15. Black SUV

Lucas POV I was damn right when I said I was waiting for her outside the compound. If not for the fear of the aftermath of coming into the mansion, I would have snapped those doors open without a warning. But no. I didn’t want whoever was inside with her to see me as a scorner or an irresponsible fellow. Having been through a mess of haunting thoughts and nightmares these past two years, I know I was damn wrong in the way I treated her, and I take every blame, even a thousand more slaps from her. She's right to be furious. She's damn right to be mad at me. I deserved every one of the hurt and melted anger. I betrayed her. I betrayed her trust. But I was unaware she was really suffering. I know it's my bad, that I neglected her complaints and even got another woman pregnant, but she can't punish me forever, can she? I was so stunned as heck when I saw her at that conference meeting with the stakeholders. At first, it felt like a dream… or possibly her ghost finally coming to h

16. The message

LucasThe call from Dav’s head teacher hit me like a jolt.I pulled over immediately, my chest tightening as her words echoed in my ears. It was long past school hours, yet the driver hadn’t gone to pick him up, which was unlike him.I was supposed to return to Alora, but that plan dissolved the second I turned the wheel toward the school. My hands gripped the steering hard until I pulled up at the gate, and there he was. Sitting alone on the bench, legs swinging, his little backpack at his side. My heart cracked.“Hey, champ,” I said softly, crouching before him. “You okay, handsome?”“Yes, of course, Dad.” He smiled, his small arms wrapping around me. “I couldn’t be angry. I know you and Mum must be busy with work.”That voice, so pure it disarmed me. I ran my fingers through his messy curls and forced a smile I didn’t quite feel.“You sure you’re not mad at us for being late?” I teased, brushing a thumb over his cheek.He grinned wide. “Look…I’m happy, not sad.”I looked into his

17. Lost control

LucasAt first I thought it was a mistake, a ridiculous one at that.Sonia couldn't possibly have withdrawn every share from my company.My hands trembled around the phone. I stared at the screen as if my eyes might fall right out of their sockets.“What's this?” I asked, turning to her furious shape. One arm crushed the duvet, gripping it hard, eyes fixed on her phone screen. Her jaw tightened. Her breath short, ragged bursts.“Haaa,” she let out a grunt that made me almost flinch. I should be the one mad. Angry. I should be throwing things at her for this…this stupid mistake. This childish stunt, these ridiculous tricks. But instead, she's furious?Wasn't she aware this text was sent to me? Why was she staring, mesmerized by the pale light of her faded screen?“You just terminated…” I faltered, my words cut short by another outburst that left me breathless and crashing through walls of disbelief.“A…Lora,” she yelped. “Get ready to watch your little world crumble before your very ey

18. Gone?

Lucas The mention of Alora’s name alone made the pain intensify. “So, you were so jealous and insecure that you couldn’t let me handle things without trying to ruin my life and everything I’ve ever built?”“Answer me!” I roared, my grip tightening. “As the man of this house, you’ll undo every damn thing you’ve done!”I released her, and she dropped onto the bed, coughing, her fingers trembling as they brushed her bruised neck.“Dad?”Dav’s voice cut through the room, small and trembling. I froze.I turned toward the doorway, his tear-filled eyes staring at me like I was a stranger. He shook his head, turned, and bolted down the hall.“No…son…please…”I spun back to Sonia, still curled on the bed. Her face was red and swollen, her lips cracked, her eyes glassy and lifeless. A pit opened in my chest.I stepped back, only realizing it now, what had I done? How did I let myself drown so deep in rage that I laid my hands on her?I felt bad. No, worse. I felt terrible. I stumbled toward th

19. A threat

AloraIt felt like a brand-new day for me as I stormed out of my car and glided into the company, every step purposeful.Levi dropped to his knees the moment he saw me, arms clasped in a silent plea, head bowed. He looked utterly devastated. For a heartbeat, I imagined how fast the news had spread. Just last night, and already this morning he knew? Even before I formally made my presence known?Even bowed low, I could see the tears welling in his eyes. Something slipped down his cheeks, and it touched my heart more than I expected.“Never mind. Get back to duty, I won't relieve you or anyone of your duties,” I said reassuringly, much to his amazement as he dropped down clutching my heels in sheer exhilaration and equal gratitude.“Thank you, madam. I won’t let you down again,” he promised. I winced at his sincerity.“Alright, get back to work,” I said, leaving him to his work while I headed toward the elevator to the third floor where my office was situated.The air in the building fe

20. The shock

LucasI was so furious that Levi had to treat me in such a manner alongside Dante. They knew me so well and knew my command in this company, yet they had to drag me out, even when I demanded to see Alora?I was so mad as heck, with the note still tucked in my arms, the same note I had seen in my car’s glove box shortly after I pulled out of the house to Dav’s school, just to be certain he was truly in school.This morning already felt like everything in my life was tearing apart, but the moment I saw that little slip of paper sticking out of the storage compartment, my heart skipped painfully. I never kept anything in that place, and the sight of it unsettled me to my core.I slammed the brakes immediately, the abrupt stop had sent me forward into the steering wheel.I shrugged, but took the note. My eyes widened to the biggest shock of my life. It was clearly written in Sonia’s handwriting.‘I’m so sorry, Lucas. My love. My all. Please find space in your heart to take in everything t
