Ava was Brittney's mother, and she was friends with both Lucas and Damien's mothers.“What happened?” I asked curious.“No one knew, the young ladies were so close and were best of friends, you know Lucas and Daimen grew up together as their mothers were close,” she hinted, and I gasped.Lucas and Damien were close, but now they hated each other I wondered what happened.“Oh that day, when the Blacks mansion was paradise, Lily with her boys, Eric and Damien, they would run around the house giving everyone a hard time,” she said dreamily as she picked up her hand and waved them while smiling remembering the old times.“But, it happened at Brian and Lily, anniversary celebrations, you see Amelia came down here to stay over for the celebration, and everything went well, the next morning when she was discovered with a knife on her chest,” Bella said as I gasped while covering my mouth.“Who could have done that?”I asked.“No one knew, But there was one thing for sure, the maids were interr
“What?” she sneered at me and I rolled my eyes at her.“Don't play dumb with me,” I responded.“What the hell are you talking about?” she asked me.“The video you bitch, you intend on blackmailing me with it you fool,” I spat out and her smile ur into a swirl.“Don't be ridiculous, I do not have an idea what you are talking about,” she hinted, but the last thing I Would do was to listen to a word that came from her lips.“Oh you don't, then get ready for these,” I yelled out in rage as I poured water on her, in a brief second I was by her side, I held her hair as she was distracted trying to get the water out of her eyes.I used my hands as I bent her head into the water, I yelled at her to tell me what her motive was, she struggled against me but I was stronger.“Let her go, Ariana, have you gone mad, she could die,” Freya yelled at me, as she came to get me off her, but I wasn't listening, when I felt she was about to suffocate, I pulled her out of the water as I asked her.“Are you
Third povIt was midnight, and Lucas sat in his casino, smoking and sniffing as he looked at his gold watch."The woman is late again," Richard, his right-hand man, remarked, and Lucas gestured for him to be quiet."Watch your tone. You wouldn't want to anger her," Lucas said with a smirk."Boss, she has no right to keep you waiting. This is the second time she's done this, which is unacceptable," the man retorted in frustration.A woman entered the casino, wearing a sleek outfit that accentuated her long legs, a hat, and sunglasses that added to her allure."No need for the commotion, I'm here now," the woman said as she sat across from Lucas, who greeted her with a smirk."You're late!" he exclaimed with a wide grin."Oh darling, I wouldn't lie. I enjoy it when a man waits for me. It excites me," the woman replied as a waiter brought a bottle of champagne."You're lucky I like you that way," Lucas said, playing with his cards. The woman joined in, betting millions on the game.They p
I wore a white dress that reached my knees, tied my hair up in a bun, and put on flat shoes.“Shouldn't you be scared? She may sue your ass,” Freya said, nagging for the past hour since the news of Britney's mom reached me. I rolled my eyes at her; she was indeed very funny.“I haven't met the woman before, so I can't say,” I mumbled as I walked out of the room. I headed to the living room and could hear a different voice coming from there.As soon as I stepped in, my eyes fell on an elegant woman sitting on the sofa. She was a beautiful white lady with the whitest skin, and I could tell she was tall and very beautiful.As soon as her eyes fell on me, she looked at me from top to bottom. I was expecting a smile on her face, but she frowned.“Meet Ariana, my daughter,” my mother chimed in as she rushed to me and held my hands. I narrowed my eyes at her as she pulled me.“Good afternoon, ma'am. Nice to meet you,” I greeted.“What's so nice about the evening after you tried to kill me, yo
Ava glared at Britney, I could tell they both didn’t have a good relationship by the way they stared at each other.“Call off the lawyer, Britney,” Ava ordered Britney who seemed so pissed off.“Why mum?” She groaned.“Why does she seem to interest you all of a sudden? She tried to kill me!” Britney exclaimed.“Get a grip of yourself, Britney, you must have pissed her off enough for her to attempt that,” Ava responded with a small smile on her face as she watched how Britney's face twisted in rage, I could tell she was pissed off.“She wouldn't get away with this I promise you,” Briteny said as she stormed out of the room.The woman watched her leave before she turned to me, she smiled at me as she came to sit next to me, my mother watched her in suspicion, and I couldn't help but see that something wasn't right here.“Excuse me but, I thought you were here to scold me for trying to kill your daughter not…'' I trailed off as she held her hands up.“No, I wasn't, I know my daughter for

Ariana’s POVI opened my eyes as I groaned, while sitting up, the door opened and I watched Bella step into the room, she held the sheet as she came in.Soon as she saw I was awake, her eyes widened in surprise, as she rushed towards me.“Oh praise the heavens you are awake,” she squealed as she rushed towards me and hugged me.“Oh Bella”, I groan, while touching my head, which seems to be pounding from the stress.“You need to stay the hell away from that girl named Briteny, she is no good for you,” she told me and I nodded, I couldn't say why I was fainting quite often but I could say it had something to do with the pregnancy.“Ms. Bella can you get something for the pain,” I requested.“You have been asleep for more than thirty hours so you are meant to feel that way,” she responded and I gasped, I looked at her to see if she wasn't kidding.“You're serious, I was asleep for three days straight,” I asked and she nodded.“But it's okay dear, you must be hungry and exhausted,” she res
I froze as I heard Brian's voice. He never came to my room except the time I had fainted at the engagement party. I was scared out of my mind and afraid of what he would want.“Come in,” my mother clipped as she sat on the couch and I covered myself with the bed cover.Brian slipped into the room, his face held high. He looked at my mother who stood up and went to hug him but he frowned at her as he shaked her off him, with a frown on his face.“Baby, why are you being so cold?” my mother asked in a soft voice and I rolled my eyes but Brian seemed pissed off, for a moment I thought he heard what we were talking about, and my heart was beating with anticipation of what it may be.“Come in,” Brian commanded as the maid stepped into the room,her head bowed in deference. "Show me what I found," Brian demanded, his gaze piercing as he kept his focus on my mother. The maid trembled slightly as she produced a pregnancy test, the evidence of my mother's secret laid bare for all to see. I g
