"You haven't given me anything useful Riverstone," Travis said placing a nail on Riverstone's hand. They brought the piece of shit out of the dungeon and tied him up to a chair, he narrated the story of how his wife brought two teenagers to his house and said she was taking them in as her own.Riverstone was against it but his wife was already known to be barren, he thought she would adopt a small child, not full-grown children. He explained how hard it was for him to adapt to the children but eventually he did but his story was bland to Travis, Travis wanted something tangible that could get him involved in Emily's life."I..I... have told you all I know...they...they are not my biological children," Riverstone cried out. His face was swollen from the random slaps he had gotten from Stone for answering a question wrongly or not giving vital details.Travis stared at him as he brought out a hammer, he placed it on the nail on his hand and hit it right on the head Riverstone stared at

Emily got to work a bit late as she had wasted time making sure Leonard took his medication and was resting. She also informed Bella to keep an eye on him if she wasn't leaving so soon, and Bella was shocked to hear that Leonard ate crayfish. If she had been observant, she could have warned Emily against giving Leonard crayfish, but she had spent the whole time talking about Cam."I apologize for being late," Emily said as she stepped into Mark's office. They just finished a meeting, and she missed it."Emily, I understand that you have found favor in Leonard's eye, but you need to understand that this is an organization people are watching.""I am so sorry," Emily said. She knew very well that punctuality was key, and every time Mark let her off, rumors were flying.Mark didn't mean to scold her, but it was important that Emily knew what it meant to do her job."Ariel's plan was selected as I was unable to get yours during the meeting," Mark announced."I totally understand." If she

"Well, I was just thinking about some ideas in my head, but I have not decided on the angle. I would love it to play out," Ariel said, collecting the sketch from the client to briefly go through it, but even if she did, she wasn't sure she would be able to get anything out of it."I think what she means is that the light colors would be some form of illusion on the dress, if you can see here," Emily said, drawing the client to one of the mannequins in the studio with a white under-done gown on it. "This is all white, but let's imagine it was black, and then in the dark it glows white. Just picture dancing with your husband in the reception and the lights goes out for a moment and your gown begins to glow.""Wow!" The client was stunned by the idea. "Is that possible?""It is very possible, ma, we just need to work with people who are into illusions to find out how to go about it, so you see, ma, your cloth will be the first ever illusion wedding dress in this part of town," Emily smil

"A child," Leonard repeated, staring at her. He knew she also lodged in with someone else apart from Chloe, but he couldn't tell as the receptionist said she claimed the person was sick, and that was why the person had to be on shades and a nose mask, but it was definitely a dwarf, but now it wasn't a dwarf but a child."I was scared, I know it's too much for me to be Thana and you not fully being able to process all that to me now having a child, and only God knows what more I am not telling you," Emily blurted out, looking at his intertwined hands. She couldn't dare look him in the eyes. She felt his hands leave hers slowly as he opened them for her to hug him.Was he not mad at her? Emily thought, raising her head to look at him as she slowly entered his warm embrace."This is a child, Emily, if anyone should be scared, it is whoever you plan to make the father of this child," Leonard said, touching her hair. "There is nothing about you that can scare me except losing you."Emily l

When Chloe woke up from her sleep, she found out from the maid that she had been bedridden for two days now.She wondered if it was because she was awake during the surgery or that the doctor had injected her with something to make sure she was well relaxed.She rolled out of bed, slowly holding on to the side of her stomach, as she entered the bathroom to look at herself properly.When she stepped in, she stared at the mirror and nearly screamed at the sight of Stone behind her."What the fuck?" She eventually yelled."Keep it down," he whispered."What the fuck are you doing here?""Language, Chloe," he whispered back, staring at her. He had heard what happened to her and took a bloody risk to come see her himself.At the sight of her, he knew he was definitely out of his mind, breaking into Klar's mansion and waiting in the toilet, where he knew there would be no camera or microphones."You are not my father," Chloe snapped as she groaned, holding her side. It seemed like shouting
