These past three days that she had been visiting the Anderson residence, she had always met different types of security guards and none of them were willing to let her in. This time around it was another different security guard she met again with no luck. Well, she already expected little hope of seeing anyone today so she headed back to where Luthor was waiting for her.“Do you mind if I ask why you keep coming here everyday, young Miss?" Luthor asked as he drove gently on the highway.Rose glanced at Luthor for a few seconds. "Because the Anderson family are my extended relatives but I'm not sure if they know about me." She replied, not bothering to hide the truth from Luthor. After all, she knew him more than he knew himself.Luthor's eyes widened. He knew that the young miss he had been driving for the past three days was from the popular Gray family because he dropped her off in front of the Gray mansion but he didn't know that she had a relationship with the Anderson family as
"Did you hear that part when I said I came to personally drag you out?” Chris remarked as he stood up from his seat. “Only you?" He paused when he heard Alex's question. He knew what Alex meant because he was looking down at him and asking him if he was capable of dragging him away. “Damn it! How dare you look down on me?" Chris groaned and moved closer to Alex's desk. Without hesitation, he grabbed the file that Alex was going through and started making his way to the door. “If you're interested in finishing your work, come and get your file from me.” Chris said and walked out of the office. He knew he was being petty and acting like a child but he had in this case because of Alex. A dangerous and terrifying aura emitted from Alex as he watched Chris walk out of his office. Without saying anything, he stood up from his seat and grabbed his coat before also walking out of the office. He knew Chris would not let go of the file he took which was important to him unless he went with
He turned back to look at both Edward and Christopher who were also looking at him. “A few days ago, I called Alex to ask the name of the girl we met and it turns out that she is my second cousin.” He revealed. Alex frowned when he heard Nicholas. Rose was his cousin? "I'm confused. Since when did you have a female cousin?” Chris was the one that asked. "That child’s mother is the niece of my grandfather.” He told them again. "How did you know about this?” Edward asked. "My grandfather sent the image of her to my father and I saw her picture, it was on the night we met her. She is the oldest daughter of the Gray family in Los Angeles.” Nicholas replied. " The same Gray family? I thought the oldest daughter was sent abroad to study? So you mean that beautiful young girl we met a few days ago that was being chased by Rey was your second cousin?” Chris asked, completely shocked at this revelation. He didn't see this one coming at all. "No wonder, I thought you guys have similar gr
“Come on, let's get you a seat rather than standing like this." Luthor said as he led Rose towards an empty table in the restaurant. Rose nodded her head and just quietly followed Luthor until he asked her to sit down and wait for him while he went to go and find his mother. “Mom." Luthor called as he walked to where his mother was standing. Even though the business was running well, they still had no money to hire staff. So Luthor's mother was the one that managed to do the serving of the customers and when Luthor's siblings came back from work and school, they would assist her as well. “Luthor, when did you arrive?” A pretty looking middle aged woman.in her early forties turned around and looked at the person that called her which was none other than her son. She was a bit surprised to see him by this time. “I came here a while ago.” Luthor replied as he hugged his mom. If one takes a closer look at the mother and son, they would be able to tell that he inherited some of his mo
“Hen…..ry….. Henry, why…..have….you done this to….me?” Roseline managed to ask while clutching her chest. Her voice quivered with a mix of disbelief, betrayal, and heartache as she struggled to comprehend the pain inflicted by Henry's action. The weight of betrayal pressed down on her, causing a surge of agony to course through her body. Her face completely turned pale and her pupils locked tightly as she stared at the man who had just stabbed her with a dagger.She could never imagine that she could be stabbed by the man she loved and trusted the most after all these years they've been together and today of all days that was their special day.Where have things gone wrong? This wasn't how she imagined her blissful life to be with the man she loved.**********A few minutes earlier.A wedding anniversary was being held on a luxurious cruise ship. The entire ship was decorated with fancy lightning and different kinds of ribbons and flowers. The guests dressed in expensive attires sat d
Roseline was aware of the abnormal closeness between her husband and younger sister, but she had chosen to turn a blind eye and trust her husband no matter what. Despite the fact that she wanted to trust Henry, there were sometimes when she got angry and infuriated seeing them together, but she always believed that Henry loved her just as much as she did for him.‘Perhaps those two are still preparing the surprise, but I can't help but feel impatient seeing how much time it's taking them. I should probably go and find them so that they can show me whatever surprise it is.’ Roseline thought to herself again, starting to feel uneasy with the amount of time both Henry and Sophia were taking and she couldn't find her parents anywhere to ask them. “Please excuse me, I have to go and look for my husband." Roseline told the guest she was with and excused herself away from them and headed to the elevator that leads to the next floor since she had seen both of them entering the elevator earlie
Roseline rushed out of the elevator in hurried steps. She balled her hand into a fist in anger not expecting to see what Henry would chase after. She still doesn't have a full understanding why he would cheat on her with her own step sister and given the way they were so intimate she was sure that they'd been having that secret affair for a very long time.Feeling completely disgusted thinking about what she had witnessed earlier, Roseline decided to change her direction and head to the bancoly of the ship on the second floor. She knew Henry would soon reach the second floor seeing how he had asked her to stop earlier so it's better for her to divert his attention.Roseline gazed at the full moon, reflecting on the ocean water with a blank expression. Her marriage was supposed to be different from this betrayal by her husband. She loved him too much and was hurt by what he did to her. She remembered herself telling him a few minutes ago that today was one of the happiest days of her li
She shivered. She was in extreme pain not from being stabbed but her heart was the one in the pain right now. Her heart sank hopelessly into the dark. Right there and then, her whole world collapsed in front of her. “Aren't you too smart, sister? It was easy for you to connect the dots. That's right you've been poisoned." Sophia admitted, all smiles in mockery at Roseline. Roseline gulped. She remembered that Sophia had brought her drink earlier to drink. She didn't think much about it and happily collected it from her sister not knowing that it was already poisoned by Sophia. “How could you do this to me?" No, why are you both doing this to me?! Answer me, Henry and stop hiding behind Sophia like a coward!" Roseline yelled furiously at Henry. She hadn't had the chance to ask Sophia why she was also doing this to her since it was obvious that she might be jealous of her. She needed answers from Henry himself. “What exactly do you mean by that you've been enduring me for the past te
