"An unknown number? Answer it and put it on speaker," Richard said firmly. "I know the person calling. He once gave me his number, and I can remember a few of the digits," Adrienne explained, picking up the call. "You finally decided to answer. Good girl. I was starting to think I'd have to blow up your house this time," Linc's voice crackled through the phone. "What do you want now?" Adrienne asked, trying to remain composed. "Just checking up on you, my dear. To see if you're still being a pain in the neck," Linc laughed wickedly. "Why do you hate me so much? What have I done to deserve this? We've only met twice!" Adrienne shouted, frustration evident in her voice. "Stop being so damn frustrating, and maybe I'll consider leaving you alone!" Lincoln shouted back. "Frustrating? What about me is frustrating you?" Richard instinctively reached out and took the phone from her hand. "Call her and threaten her one more time, and you'll find yourself explaining to your mother in he
"Martin? Who is Martin?" Richard let out a frustrated sigh. "You. You are Martin. I saw your initials," Juliette accused, her voice filled with disbelief. Richard's frustration turned into annoyance. "Like I said, you're delusional," he retorted, his tone implying his patience was wearing thin. "And don't make me send you out of this house. I'll be forced to if you continue to annoy me or piss me off." Feeling defeated, Juliette let out a heavy sigh and reluctantly made her way towards the exit. Just as Richard was about to close the door, she hurried back, desperation evident in her eyes. "I'm sorry..." she whispered, her voice filled with genuine remorse. Richard sighed, his expression softening slightly. He nodded, trying to appear casual. "I heard you. It's okay. Goodbye," he replied, reluctantly closing the door in her face. Before she could utter a single syllable, Richard opened the door again, catching her off guard. "Change your outfit and put on something comfy,
"Wife? What on earth are you saying?" Adrienne's voice trembled as she tried to comprehend Daniel's words. His eyes locked with hers, Daniel continued, "I met her last week in Rome, and we bonded instantly. Our connection is undeniable, Adrienne." A smile crept upon his face as he glanced over at the woman beside him, Adrielle, who reciprocated the gesture. Confusion filled Adrienne's mind. "So, she's your girlfriend then?" Adrielle's voice interjected firmly, "No... wife." She lifted her right hand, revealing a dazzling diamond ring adorning her finger. A torrent of emotions surged within Adrienne, but she swallowed them down, forcing a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Adrielle." Her voice wavered. Daniel broke the silence by suggesting they head back. Adrienne nodded, longing to escape the overwhelming atmosphere. They made their way to Adrienne's car, with Lisa assuming the role of the driver. Adrienne reluctantly took her place in the front seat, next to Lisa, whil
"Stay still... it won't hurt," Richard gently reassured Adrienne. "I am a woman and I know how boob tapes work," Adrienne confidently replied. "Look at that. Still as stubborn as ever. I'm giving you the pleasure of me dressing you up for your night out. The least you can do is stay still and say nothing while I do my job, okay?" Richard requested. "Whatever. I still think the dress is too much though," Adrienne whined. "No, it's not. It's the perfect choice for a night out - stylish and elegant. And also, I know a lot about fashion more than you think I do, okay?" Richard defended. "All done," Richard announced with pride. He had just applied a boob tape to Adrienne's breasts because her dress had an open back and she wasn't gonna wear a bra. "Put it on," Richard instructed Adrienne as she slipped into the dress. The dress was a black stunner, featuring a flattering v-neck that accentuated her neckline and a ruffled hem that added flair to every step. Crafted from a lightweight
"I must say, you have been such a good girl lately. I like it, but it's starting to look suspicious," Linc said to Rosa. He let out a deep breath as he pulled out of her, their intimate encounter coming to an end. Rosa's body trembled with pleasure, her ecstasy evident. "Of course. You have been such an excellent puppet master," she smirked, playing along with his assessment. "Puppet master, huh?" Linc raised an eyebrow. "Mm hmm. No one pulls the strings better than you," Rosa responded, her words laced with a seductive tone. Linc chuckled, a hint of skepticism in his voice. "Come on. You must have said that to almost every guy that has slept with you." Rosa let out a soft giggle, her fingers gently caressing his hair. "Of course not. No one has ever made me experience such pleasure like you do," she assured him, a fake smile lighting up her face. Linc couldn't help but reciprocate the smile, but a sense of suspicion lingered within him. "Why?" Rosa asked, tilting her head sl
"Where have you been these past few weeks? Considering how good you look, it's obvious you weren't suffering. Couldn't you have at least contacted me? Do you have any idea how worried I was?" Ryan yelled at Juliette angrily. "Don't shout at me! Can't you see that I'm pregnant?" Juliette snapped back. "Who the hell cares? I asked why you didn't reach out to me. I've been hassling my dad nonstop because of you. I couldn't find you at the hospital or at your house. I even thought you had left the country," Ryan said frustratedly. Juliette remained silent. "Answer me!" He demanded, growing impatient. "Your dad caused the accident! He had his men stage the collision and instead of taking me to the hospital, they kidnapped me. And your despicable father, Michael, raped me. Yes! I was raped by him," Juliette yelled. "Lower your voice! Why would my dad rape you? All he wanted was his money you stole, right? What would he possibly gain from raping you?" Ryan defended his dad. "Seriously?
"Adrienne?" a woman next to her called out desperately, panic coloring her voice as she knelt beside Adrienne's motionless figure on the floor. Concerned murmurs rippled through the surrounding crowd, drawing the attention of those nearby. Within moments, a wave of commotion erupted as people hastily gathered around, unsure of what had caused Adrienne's sudden collapse. "Quick! Someone call an ambulance!" Evelyn's commanding voice broke through the chaos. Michael and Linc exchanged tense glances, their eyes fixed grimly on Adrienne's unconscious form. In stark contrast to their tense silence, Ryan darted forward, his concern propelling him to Adrienne's side without a second thought. As the chaos unfolded, a woman's gaze shifted to the forgotten figure of little Brian, unnoticed by the frantic crowd. She approached him gently, her voice soothing, "Come here, Brian. Let's step outside and get some fresh evening air while things settle down, alright?" the woman gently suggested. Br
Adrienne's eyes fluttered open, her vision blurry as she slowly regained consciousness. The glaring lights above her caused her to squint, and the constant hum of hospital machinery filled her ears. As her mind slowly cleared, confusion washed over her, making it difficult to piece together what had happened. "Adrienne," a soft voice called out, breaking through the haze. Turning her head, she saw Richard sitting anxiously by her side. His eyes reflected a mix of relief and concern as he leaned closer. "Richard?" Adrienne's voice came out hoarse and weak, barely above a whisper. Relief washed over Richard's face, and his eyes filled with warmth as he reached out to gently hold her hand. "Thank goodness you're awake, Adrienne. You really had me worried." A faint smile tugged at Adrienne's lips, but her mind was still foggy. "How long was I out?" she asked, her voice trembling. "Three whole days," Richard replied. "Three days? So today is Tuesday?" Adrienne's heart sank, realiz
