Goosebumps erupted on Sara's skin. Selene looks scary and pure evil when she is laughing like this."You were cherished by Richard and by your father. They were treating me like a princess while I was ignored and my importance in the Giovanni household was minimal. I wanted to ruin you too. I want to take everything you had. So I did. I used Tony and planned that accident to kill you. But somehow, you escaped. After you were out of the picture, I married your dearest Richard and made his life miserable. I raised my daughter like a princess, while you and your daughter were living out there miserably. I lived your life after replacing you in the Giovanni mansion and you were forced to turn into a pauper. You had everything but still living like an orphan. And your daughter? She was kicked and pushed from one orphanage to another. But I found out that your daughter is alive. So I tried to kill her. But she escaped. No, Leo Hamilton saved her every time. The same man whom my daughter is
"Sara? Are you alright?" Richard asked with worry.Sara nodded mutely. Her gaze is still fixed on Selene's dead body. She recollected her sweet moments with Selene. Her eyes watered with sadness. There was a time when she used to share everything with Selene. But she failed to recognize how and when Selene started to harbor this much hatred for her. She suppressed her sadness and blinked her eyes to clear her gaze."Call my father. He needs to know this" she muttered before locking herself inside the bathroom to wash away Selene's blood from her body along with her memories.Richard dialed Walter and told them everything that happened in the mansion. "What? I am coming now" Walter promised before disconnecting the call.When Sara stepped out of the bathroom after a long shower and freshly changed into another set of clothes, she saw that her room was spotless again. Someone cleaned everything. Broken vase, droplets of blood, and the dead body. It was as if nothing happened. If her bo
The next morning, everyone gathered in the graveyard to attend Selene's funeral. Walter was not interested in giving a proper burial to the person whom he treated as a daughter but she almost destroyed his family. He wanted to burn her body in the inferno and get rid of her. But Sara insisted that they needed a proper burial. So hence he arranged this small arrangement. Clovia was brought from the center to attend her mother's last rights. Ida was discharged from the hospital. Leo is standing beside Ida and is looking as interested as Walter.The priest started the procedure. "I request you to speak about the diseased" the priest requested. It is customary to speak well about the dead person. But no one came forward to speak good things about Selene. Because she never did anything good to anyone. "Let's skip the speech and proceed to the last step. Let's drop her coffin into her grave" Walter muttered impatiently. Apart from Sara who seemed a bit sad about Selene's death, no one i
After two months... In one of the private beaches in the Bahamas, Rose is lying on the beach on top of one of the beach chairs with her eyes covered with shades. She is dolled up in a black two-piece bikini. Her sun-kissed tan skin is looking good on her. She gained a few much-needed pounds, which gave her curves that went on for days. She is looking peaceful and content. "Baby doll, here, drink this juice" Leo handed her a glass of cranberry juice, which is tangy, and she happened to crave the tangy taste these days. "Thank you" she replied with a small smile and sipped the cool refreshing drink. She hummed with approval as the taste of the juice made her tastebuds come alive. It's been two months since that fateful day. And two months two weeks from the day she lost her baby. And a year from the time when she first met Leo. At the beginning of the year, she doesn't know that her life is going to change so much. She was still under the wrong belief that she would be marrying Kevi
"Leo, I am fine" Ida complained. But Leo refused to listen to her. He is always insisting on carrying her everywhere these days. She is thirty-seven weeks pregnant now and she gained a lot of weight. All thanks to Leo, Grace, Sara, and Walter. They kept pampering her to the point that Leo refused to walk on her own these days. He insists on carrying her everywhere."Who said you are not? I like carrying both of you in my arms. Why do only you get to carry our daughter? Why can't I carry her?" he asked with a playful wink.Ida groaned and gave up arguing with him. She knows that he will not listen to her, so she lets him do as he pleases."Oh Ida, you woke up? Here, drink this milk. Grace found this recipe somewhere. And it is said to be good for both the mother and the baby" Sara explained while placing a huge glass of milk in front of her.Ida sighed heavily. Her day usually begins like this from the moment she and Leo announce her pregnancy. Sara and Grace dismissed the cook and th
Ida Wilson woke up feeling her body ache everywhere. Her muscles protested with every move she made. The muscles she didn't know existed are all aching badly. She vaguely realized that someone was sleeping beside her and they both were naked."Kevin?" she whispered as her heart began to hammer with confusion and fear. Her mouth felt as dry as a desert. Her voice came out as just a mere whisper in the otherwise silent room. Kevin Hamilton is her boyfriend of two years. But deep down, she knows it's not Kevin. This doesn't feel right.She turned her head to see who the man beside her was. She is sure that the muscular figure sleeping beside her is a man. She prayed that it should be Kevin. All she remembered from last night was that she went to a pub to celebrate her promotion with Kevin and her best friend Clare. They had a few drinks and danced a lot. After that, she doesn't remember anything. The room is dark, but she can still see enough to know that the man is not Kevin. His featur
In the hotel room of a seven-star hotel, Leo Hamilton woke up to an empty bed. He raised his eyebrows with surprise. He never sleeps in the room he reserved for this purpose. He will fuck them and leave them within an hour or two. But last night he couldn't control himself. She was like a succubus, tempting him, teasing him, and testing his self-control. He likes to keep the room dark to avoid showing his face to his one-night stands. Seeing his face flashed in a newspaper and everyone reading about his personal life is not a good start to his day. He likes to keep his identity a secret with his bed partners. But he had to admit, he liked the girl from last night. Not once, but they were at it until after midnight. She was so responsive and the sounds she made were hot. He would like to take her once more, but she runs away even after finding out who he is. He is an early riser. That means she must have left before sunrise."Interesting" he murmured. His face is well known as the hea
In the Hamilton group, Ida is following after her mentor and the President Hamilton's previous assistant, Hailey Jenson. Ida is replacing Hailey, who is in her late fifties. Working for Leo Hamilton is not an easy feat. He is very demanding and unforgiving. He wants things to be done with perfection and on time. He has his preferences in how he takes his food or drinks his coffee. Hailey was like President Hamilton's personal assistant. She used to take care of his everyday schedule, food and all of his personal stuff. President Hamilton has another assistant, Mike. He is in his late thirties and he mostly deals with scheduling meetings and appointments. "You look a little bit off today. Is there any problem that I can help you with dear?" Hailey asked Ida softly. Ida's perfect professional smile threatened to falter. But she regained her composure soon enough. "Mrs Hailey, I am fine. I am just a bit tensed to face the president in a close proximity" Ida half lied. She is nervous t
