"That is enough. Lyana Rodriguez is my guest. You will treat her with respect. Everyone can go back to their duties now." Lyu dispersed the crowd. Even if there was a few grumbles here and there, the kids eventually went back to whatever it was they were doing before Lyana Rodriguez's grand entrance. Yet some kept their gaze on her as they walked away, especially the instigator who had inspired the little kid against her. Till she could not figure out his face as he disappeared into the darkness, his gaze was strictly on her.Then Lyu kept on the move again, beckoning on Lyana to follow him. As she followed, she had a lot of questions to ask. How long had this old man been adopting children into this cave? How does he manage to keep them all fed and alive for so many years? How does he manage to avoid detection by the Raven government. He literally created a village of refugees on these rocks. How come nobody had never stumbled upon it?Did he use some sort of sorcery? Afterall, she s

Ricardo's rise in sexual hormones hit a dip as her words made his heart weep in silence. He had always ignored that part of things, father not stepping down for him. He had never really considered it to be an issue. He thought it was only a matter of time, and the old man would no longer have a choice. But now he despised that reality. Now, he was desperate to take his place as the real top man in Ravendale."Don't worry, baby... the tides are soon to change..." He drove himself closer into her again, making sure to pierce through her thin dress so she felt his rod knocking on her door. She shivered for a moment from the impact, something that made his ego swell.She moaned. "You have to get rid of your father. As long as he is around, you will never get the chance to take your place."Ricardo smirked, slowly pulling her black inners apart, leaving bare her glistening skin. "I am already working on it. Soon, he will be forced into retirement, and I will be the one at the apex." Ricard

The head maid Julia walked past Ricardo Rodriguez's room while he had his little fun time with Aurumia. She had been sent by the chairwoman to make a good spy on her stepson and his new friend. Their activities were not so hard for her to spot, after all they let the door wide open for all to see.Unlike everybody else in the Rodriguez mansion, Julia had always looked after the chairman's children like her own. She was their nanny when they were kids. And she was the only person who truly looked out for their affairs after they lost their mother. She was a mother too, to a son she can no longer call hers. A son she could no longer recognize. His gentle smile and lively spirit, nothing but a forgotten memory.Julia could not hear the words they said to one another, but when Aurumia pulled herself away from Ricardo, she knew it was time to leave before anyone would spot her looking. Her legs took her as fast as she could muster.As soon as she closed the door behind her, the chairwoman

Many years ago, Federico Rodriguez was the most desperate man in the entire world. From being a boy whom many would argue that he came from nothing, he was the edge of owning the greatest enterprise the city had ever seen. It was at a time when a certain Martin Astana was taking over his family's legacy at a remarkably young age and a certain Sebastian Waters was at the helm of the fastest growing corporation, building it all by himself. Young Federico needed some leverage. He needed some headlines too. Each of these two men were called his friends, but he didn't seem to match up with them any longer. "Poor Federico. He will wait forever. The chairman would never hand over his company to an adopted son." Federico always heard the people's whispers. They never really thought he deserved anything other than being the side man. The lap dog which the then Chairman Rodriguez had at his beck and call.Even though he had married the most beautiful girl in the city, the chairman's daughter.

As the three men exited the office of Federico Rodriguez, it seemed as though a battle line had been drawn. Martin Astana made a call as soon as they reached their vehicles. He hoped that the mission was successful and that his dear son had not failed him this time around."Luther, tell me you have the girl."Luther Astana was on the other side. His father had tasked him with the abduction of Lyana Rodriguez after planning his son's escape. What Luther did was unforgivable, his father had said. Because of him, the inner circles was now going through waves of inner struggles. Every single member was beginning to pick a side, and more were going in the direction of the Rodriguez. Martin Astana knew he needed to make a significant wave and tilt the tides. In the quest for that, he had tasked Luther with the simplest task of her - Get Federico's daughter in shackles and leave everything else to him.This was Luther's chance to redeem himself in the eyes of his father. If he delivered Lyan
