"Boss, the boat… the boat sank!""What?!""We waited for her on the island, but the boat never arrived. We heard that something happened on the way."Randall did not order any of his men to follow Rowena because he knew she did not like to be bothered. Plus, he did not want her to know he knew where she was in case she tried to go on a run again.The mission Randall gave his men was to go to the fishing village to take care of Rowena, make sure there were no dangers, and then get the hell out of there. They were never to bother her again.Unexpectedly, she never arrived at the fishing village because something happened to her boat on the way to the island. She was not the only passenger. There were dozens of other villagers as well. The government had sent a search and rescue team, so it was best for Randall to not show up due to his identity.However, Randall immediately bolted up from his chair and ran out of his study the moment he got the news. With the first aid kit still in
The presidential election will be held at the end of the year. The polls were divided between three presidential candidates.The three candidates were all campaigning very actively recently. Take Benjamin as an example. He had been giving speeches everywhere and started to campaign for the Getson's support since last year.Even though he and Nancy were related, Yaacob had his eyes set on the other candidate.The candidate preferred by Yaacob kept a low profile, and he had some connection with Yaacob's mother's family in the southern part of the country.Now, Yaacob was in charge of the Getson Corporation after being given the helm. It was hard to tell whether he decided to support someone from his mother's family using money from the Corporation because he was in it for the benefits and profits or because he wanted to humiliate the Getsons.The first two candidates were Benjamin Cabrera and Harrison Keating, who had Yaacob's support; the third candidate was Donald Hardin.Donald
Randall stared at Lola. No doubt, she was a lovely, charming thing, but he was unmoved."Why would I want anything in return from you?"Just then, Lola realized that she had pushed the wrong button. She should never have placed Randall and herself on the opposite side of the scale.Despite going abroad with Randall, she did try to make use of Randall's sympathy toward her.Initially, when Randall left Athenapolis, she tried to follow after him but failed.In the end, she flew to where she thought Randall would be to look for him. However, as she was unfamiliar with the place and did not have much money, she was almost sold into the shady industry.Fortunately for her, the people who were in that industry could only proceed with Randall's knowledge and permission.Therefore, he found out about it and managed to rescue her just in time. From then on, he had no choice but to take her along with him.Lola managed to make the best out of this opportunity and wiggled her way into his
Usually, just seeing other women being physically close to Yaacob was enough to peeve Nancy and make her see red. How could she tolerate a slut throwing taunts at her like this?Nancy reached for the wine on the table and splashed it on Serena."Ah!..." Serena shrieked as she jumped up, finally leaving Yaacob alone."My new dress! Do you have any idea how much it cost?!"Since Serena was an obscure D-list actress, she was not rich by any means. When she heard she had the chance to socialize and drink with a big shot like Yaacob, she put on the best dress and accessories she could manage. She rented a diamond necklace that cost more than a hundred thousand dollars for this occasion. It was unlikely that she could return it with the stain from the red wine.Serena was so furious that she wanted to snap Nancy in half. However, just as she was going up against Nancy, Nancy had the upper hand and slapped her.The room fell into deafening silence.The first to leave the room were the
Nancy saw there was a vase with flowers on the table. She removed the flowers and poured the water in the vase onto Serena."Ah! Nancy, what did you do!""There, are you awake now?"Serena was rendered speechless."If that was not enough to sober you up, there's a bucket of mop water just outside the room. That should stop your daydreaming. You are in this room for not more than ten minutes. Yaacob was never this fast."Indeed, it was exactly as she said. Yaacob and Serena just entered the room, and they did not have enough time to have sex before Nancy came barging in.Nancy could hear the sound of water coming from the bathroom. It must be Yaacob taking a shower.Serena's trick could not deceive Nancy.Even though Nancy had exposed Serena's lie, Serena was still arrogant and obnoxious. She said, "Nancy Lawson, you've been the only woman in Yaacob's life for far too long. Didn't you know that men will get bored eventually? Among all the rich men's wives in Athenapolis, you are
"Impossible!" Xander refused to believe what Nancy told him. "Nancy, look at what Yaacob has become. If you refuse to tell me the truth, I won't help you the next time he hurts you.""That's up to you."Seeing how Nancy was unwilling to budge, Xander was furious, turned around, and walked away.Then again, the two had always been at odds with each other, so this turn of events was very normal.Xander refused to listen to Nancy because that would mean he had to accept the fact that something bad had happened to Anna. He would rather believe that Nancy was lying in order to buy more time for Anna to get away from him.As Xander left the hotel, someone bumped into him at the entrance.From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a petite and familiar figure passing by, and he reached out to grab her subconsciously."Ann…"It was not Anna!Nancy had kept Anna hidden somewhere. There was no way she would show up here."Pardon me."Xander released the girl, but she caught up
Julian was enraged when he saw the two brutes tugging and tearing Nancy's clothes. He punched them, helped Nancy, and ensured she was alright."Are you okay?" Julian asked.Nancy nodded her head and said, "I'm okay.""Look at you! You call this okay?" Julian saw the marks and bruises caused by the slaps, and his eyes became dark and cold. "Who did this to you?"Julian did not wait for Nancy to reply, and he cast his eyes on Serena, for she was nearest to them.Serena was badly shaken with fear when Julian looked at her. From what she heard, Julian was more difficult to deal with than Yaacob. Yaacob had impressed upon others as the polite gentleman, whereas Julian was spoiled rotten. Julian was known to be bad-tempered and used to getting his way in Athenapolis. No one wanted to, or dared to, get on his wrong side. Things usually end badly for those who were foolish enough to cross him.One thing, though. For the life of it, Serena could not figure out why Julian would come to re
Yaacob was doing Nancy in the corridor on the second floor, a common area, out in the public.The Getson family had many members, and any servant could walk up on them unknowingly. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry walking past the corridor would see Nancy being pinned by Yaacob onto Julian's door…Yaacob and Nancy were married, so what they did was nothing out of the ordinary. However, the most intimate act was showcased in the most humiliating manner.Nancy could feel Yaacob's burning breath on her ears as he whispered, "Your definition of true love is never leaving me no matter what I do to you?"Now, Nancy understood what was fueling Yaacob's anger and rage. He was enraged because Nancy came back to the Getson Estate. Nancy was not the target of his wrath, but it was toward himself!Lately, Yaacob has been facing a particularly contradictory phase. He was doing everything he could to deny everything in his past. He even went so far as to make everyone hate and turn against him in the co
