They went to the study. Patrick sat down on the chair as Bruce approached the small table with various bottles of alcohol. He looked and showed the bottle that had an inscription "Jack Daniels" on it, a wonderful Scotch whiskey. He poured two glasses of whiskey, handed one to Patrick, and then he sat down. - Bruce, we have to talk. I want to know everything about Erick. - And about Lisa? - Of course for Lisa as well. I want to know everything. - Alright. Just please listen carefully and do not interrupt me. I also do not want you to have a bad opinion of Lisa because she is a good person and she has suffered a lot. - Alright. Talk. - As you know, Lisa is Riley's half-sister. They lived together, but they were never close, I can say for sure they were not on good terms. - Alright. - Well Riley was supposed to marry Erick. - Riley? - Yes, those two have been together for years. At a rehearsal for the wedding dress, Riley saw Erick and Lisa
He saw them in the hallway. He came near them and spoke: We have to tell Lisa everything; she has to know in what condition her mother is, and she must see her because if she does not, I think that she will never forgive you. Patrick came out of Lisa's room. Patrick, how is your wife? She is sleeping. I came out here to see what the noise was about. What is going on? Patrick, they caught Tabitha. - What? Where? When? A few hours ago, she was in a car accident. The detective said she was badly injured and she was not going to make it. She told me the whole story, what happened, and how everything happened. I have everything recorded, but we have to take Lisa to her room. She wants to ask Lisa and Riley for forgiveness. She had done a lot of bad things, but she had done them because she was forced to. Erick blackmailed her. She did not want to shoot Riley, and Erick threatened that he would poison Lisa if she did not do it. I understand. Where is Tabitha now? She is in the inten
Riley was putting on her white lace ball wedding gown with a corset in the shape of a heart and was looking at herself in the mirror. She looked beautiful. While she was thinking about her perfect dress, the wedding of her dreams, the decorations, and her good-looking fiancé, her phone beeped. She received a message from her fiancé, Erick. Erick Marshall was her fiancé, the man she loved. They had been in a relationship for 3 years and were planning to spend their life together. She read the message. "Baby, I cannot wait to see you in that gown of yours. Please come downstairs." Riley knew that it is believed that it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride wearing the wedding dress before the wedding, but she decided to go against her instinct and went downstairs. She could not find Erick anywhere and asked the store clerk. Excuse me, have you seen my fiancé? He wrote me a message saying that he was there, but I can't find him. Yes, miss, he was here with your sister, but they
At the wedding party, Riley was wearing a lace bodice with an off-the-shoulder neckline and a sweetheart neckline on the lining. Scalloped along the neckline and dropped around the waist. Bruce was wearing an Armani black suit and a nice shirt, he was in a wheelchair and his face was covered, so no one could see him. The few guests that they invited were excited, they danced and drank the whole night. Only the bride and groom sat. James Knight raised his glass and toasted in the newlywed's honor. He was happy that his son finally was wed to a nice and beautiful girl, a girl of a decent family. When the wedding was done, and all the guests left, Bruce turned to Riley and with an angry tone in his voice said. - I will go to my apartment, I am tired, and you will be taken to the mansion I bought for you. - What about you? Aren't you coming there? Riley asked - It is none of your business when I have the time I will come and visit you, but as I said tonight I am tired and I want to res
The black car stopped in front of her house. Riley was about to unfasten the seat belt, when Bruce leaned over, pressed the buckle of the seat belt, and the seat belt was released. His handsome face was near her. Her heart started beating faster and her cheeks started to blush. This man’s face alone is enough to make all women fall in love. But thinking about his bad behavior yesterday, Riley’s expression returned to its nature. It was just a rich dude who has bad taste and hates his cousin. She raised her head the expression on her face was a bit dull, - I’m going to get off the car now. - she said.Bruce’s eyes shrank slightly, and his aura disappeared. Riley was aware of his changes, and she was about to get out of the car when she opened the door, but one arm quickly grabbed her hand, and he spoke. - I brought my cousin to her home, Why would my cousin not thank me? he said with a smirk on his faceShe lowered her head, with a little wince in her expression, and whispered in a lo
When Riley returned home, she took her suitcase to her room and decided to go and ask for her husband, she wanted to know if he was home, or maybe just to know his location, she was thinking about him and why did he not want to be in her presence. She saw a man, she had never seen before. - Excuse me, who are you? - she asked - Hello madam, my name is Tom and I am your husband's assistant. Tom said - It is nice to meet you. Can you tell me where my husband is? She asked him - He just came in madam. He is in the study. Tom answered - Thank you. I will go and see him. Riley said The study door was closed, Riley raised her hand and knocked on the door. A man’s hoarse voice came from inside. - Come in. Bruce spoke Riley opened the door and saw the person sitting behind the desk. She could not see his face because of the dim light in the study, but she could see the wheelchair so she knew it was her husband. Bruce was the first to ask her aloud, - What’s the matter? - he asked -
During the whole night, Riley could not sleep, it was around 4 am when she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep. The morning came but she did not feel like going out or doing something. She received a message from an unknown number. She wondered who sent her a message. It said: "Hey sweety, how are you? I landed last night, the movie was a success. I want to see you today, get ready and let's go out. I will be at Manhattan Mall in 2 hours XoXo S "Reading this message Riley was excited. She knew who sent it. It was her best friend, Sarah and she knew she had to see her. She got up and went to the bathroom. She washed her face and teeth, got dressed, put on a little bit of makeup, and was ready. She went downstairs and saw Leonardo. She did not want to gre
They entered the big and amazing mansion. Everything was nice and quiet until they heard a voice. Riley opened the door of the living room and she saw them, both mother and daughter, sitting, drinking, and acting spoilt. She did not want to make a scene in front of "Leonardo" so she greeted them with a low voice.- Hello. She said- Oh Riley, my darling, how are you? Tabitha asked.- I am great Tabitha, what are you doing here?- We came to visit you, dear sister. Where is my brother-in-law?- with a smirk on her face Lisa askedBruce entered the room and wanted to see the scene that was happening in his house. Riley could not stand them and abruptly said:- Why do you need Bruce?- I wanted to ask him something, is he here? - Lisa asked- What did you want to ask him?- Well.... she smirkedAt that moment Riley was furious. She wanted to slap her, but she controlled her anger and asked her:- Do you want to make out with him as well? She did not care anymore, she could not keep quie
