"Doll..." he uttered as he tried to hold her face. There was a panic rising in his eyes as he looked down at her. She avoided his touch as if it was a virus that burns her skin. She looked at him emotionlessly. "Don't touch me...""Alright..." He swallowed. Looking down at her reddened face, he blamed himself for letting his demon get the best of him. He might be a monster, but hurting women isn't his thing. He might be angry at her but he shouldn't have done what he had done.Regret flooded through his features.She lifted her shaking hand to cup her cheek where he slapped her. It stung, and every stinging sensation she felt was a realisation that hit her. A decision had come to her mind.She's not going to let him hit her again.All her life, she was never treated this way. Even though her father had locked her up and didn't allow her to explore the world, he provided her everything that she wanted. He gave her a castle like a princess from the fairytale, and she wasn't ever hit.Sh
Tears rolled down on Reezha's cheeks as she looked down at her. "Y-You..." she uttered weakly. "What have you done t-to my brother..."Margarette's eyes watered as she shook her head softly. "I don't know anything."Reezha sobbed. She still has a bruise on her face and she looked heartbroken.She fell on her knees as if just looking at Margarette drains her energy. As if it was exhausting to even talk to her."M-My younger brother must've been so scared right now..." Reezha whispered, pain laced on her voice. Margarette felt like her heart was tearing apart just seeing the once carefree Reezha who cares no one in her life. She looks so broken."Reezha..." she uttered, a lump was on her throat. She could hardly speak, trying to suppress the sob to escape her chest. "I-I'm so sorry."Reezha shook her head weakly as she cried silently. "I don't know..." she said. "I don't know what to do now that Areesh is gone. W-We don't even know if he's still alive or not. Oh, my God. My brother..."
It would be the day they would execute their plan. To say she was nervous is definitely truth. She felt like her heart would burst at any given seconds that passes. She doesn't think she could do their plan, but then again, she have to. "Alright, so let's just wait until midnight to do this, alright?" Reezha said to her in a hush tone after her 4th visit in the cell. Margarette was grateful that Reezha was on her side now as she was able to eat 3 meals a day or even more than that for the last 3 days. And during those days, Xavier never visited her at all.But it was okay for her. It was also convenient for them to complete their task without getting noticed by her husband."Y-Yes," she replied nervously. It was already past 9 pm. She was able to clean herself and change her clothes for a rather comfortable pair of jeans and black hoodie. Reezha also brought a black face mask for Margarette. "I'm nervous..."The younger woman smiled at her with sadness in her eyes. "I know... But Flo
She was in tears sitting at the back seat of the moving car. They have just escaped through the gate without getting caught. It would be just a matter of time before the people in the Fehari's Den would notice she was already missing. They need to rush and get things done."Don't worry, Flower. We won't harm you, okay?" Reezha said in the driver's seat. The man sat next to her on the passenger's seat. "We'll just... We'll just have to take my brother back and you're good to go, hmm?"The scepticism and the anxiousness in Reezha's voice made her even more nervous and reluctant despite the reassurance in her words. Margarette tried to conceal the fear within her as she caressed her stomach.We will be fine, my love...She felt a sense of determination and encouragement just thinking of her child. If she wishes to have a great life, then she must do what she has to do. There's no stopping now.In a swift move, Reezha manoeuvred the car to the left, one way street. The wheel made a screech
He looked at his wristwatch to see the time. It's already past midnight. Damn it. He cursed in his head as he stepped the accelerator to speed up his drive. He ran through the red lights, making the car behind him crash and create havoc. But he didn't even bother to give a bit shit. He was in a rush. He needs to go home as soon as possible.It has been 3 days since he left the house to do the searching personally. His father had already woken up from the coma a few hours earlier and was constantly screaming—asking where his dotted son and his princess were. Xavier had to watch and calm his father down before he went back to his own mansion. Finally he's back. It has been such a hefty day he could barely get some sleep, but he had no choice but to do so.He needs to find their youngest sibling.Fortunately, he received a message about the location of his brother. Leonardo Ferrero wanted just 50 million dollars for his brother. Yes, that wasn't a problem to him at all. What a small amo
5 years later..."Noooo!" There was a loud squeal coming from a beautiful little girl as she ran across the huge garden. She has this brightest smile on her face as her blue eyes twinkled with enthusiasm. A man in his late fifties was chasing after the little girl with a small smile on his face."Baby, stop running that fast!" The little girl's mother said with anxiousness as she watched her daughter run like there's no tomorrow in the customised garden created by her grandfather to his only granddaughter."Mommy!" the little girl exclaimed as she giggled. The man had captured her and carried her like a sack of rice."Dad!" Margarette exclaimed in worry. "Don't worry, sweetheart, she won't get hurt. You just have to relax." The man laughed. "I used to play with you like this when you were at her age, and nothing happened.""But what if she fell, dad?" she argued."No, she won't. I'm stronger than a bull, sweetheart," he said. He gave his granddaughter a kiss on the head before he put
"You gonna bring Xaire?" asked her father. She nodded her head. "Yes, I promised her."Leonardo had this worried expression on his face, but he immediately composed himself and shook his head. "Fine, be careful. I'm gonna send our men to watch you—""Dad.""—from afar. I promise they won't disturb you two.""Fine." She rolled her eyes. "I don't want your men to ruin me and my child's day."Leonardo laughed as he kissed his daughter's forehead. "Don't worry, sweetheart." He pulled away and took out his phone as he received a text. "By the way, are you bringing your boyfriend along?""Yep," she replied with a pop. "Jason has no class today and we plan to spend this day with Xaire.""Good. Where is he, then?""He's on his way—" Speaking of which, the doorbell rang. She shrugged as a smile spread across her lips. "Well, I suppose he's here to fetch us up already.""Uncle Jason!!" Xaire exclaimed from the stairs. Her nanny panicked when the child suddenly burst running wearing her pink tut
Her heart raced. Staring at those familiar blue eyes, she was speechless. She was stunned. She couldn't even move an inch. She felt as if her whole body stiffened in a mixture of shock and fear. Fear for what was about to happen. Fear that the dark past she tried so hard to conceal would resurface and repeat itself."Z-Zeus," she whispered fearfully. Almost nothing changed on the young man's face. He was still as handsome and masculine as before, but he looked more mature than before. The corner of Zeus' lips lifted. He looked at her with a smirk while there was a mocking ringing in his eyes. "Long time no see, sister-in-law," he said through his low voice. She stepped back as she looked at the young man in shock. "W-What? What... Are you doing here?"He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said with a smirk, "I noticed a blue-eyed little girl and immediately felt a connection with her. Do tell me, Flower, isn't she my niece?"She gasped in fear. "N-No, no... What are you t-talk
