Carla froze, her hands moving to her face and her hair flailed by her sides to cover her face from everyone. But they had already seen her, as they all took up their phones to record her. “Shit…” She cursed as she quickly fished for her phone. At the same time, she rushed toward the elevators to quickly get to Terry’s office. However, the doors were locked, and nothing was working. “Terry, you bastard!” She cried. She never thought the news would blow up this much. It had just been a short while since the police raided her company building and now it was all over the news channels.She felt Chairman Wells was targeting her for no reason. It was against the code of conduct for their business!“Terry…pick up.” She dialed his phone over and over again and when he finally connected the call, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Where are you?” She barked into the phone. “I am right here…” He replied, his tone lazy as if fire had not been put under their bosom. “I saw you run into the compa

Cora was seething, hated the way Carla ignored her while she was still carrying the baggage of being locked up for days. And when she sat by Robin’s side, she lost it. Deep down in her heart, she hated the sight of them together. “Get off him! You bitch!” Cora yelled, and her hands flew straight at Carla, and in the next second, she hurled her off Robin’s side. The strength that rippled through her was like never before and swiftly, she threw Carla in the middle of the room, her back crashing into the glass table there. Cora breathed heavily, her chest heaving while she stared down at Carla who had her head dripping with blood. “Cora…” Carla was in shock, and coupled with the pain from her injured hand and leg, she felt so dizzy as if she was about to pass out. “Robin…” She cried, with shaky voice and tears streaming down her face. “Are you going to let her do this to me? Everything being said on the news is a lie! You saved me, right? You should believe me…”She rushed up to he

One week laterRobin had resumed his office, burying himself in work. He had gotten updates that Cora had reunited with her parents, however, there was no news about her impending marriage yet. Even the Davenson family had gone really quiet but then, he still had his tabs on Chairman Wells. Such a man wouldn't just take an interest in Cora so suddenly. As Mason walked into the office, he raised his head from the pile of documents. “Did you find out anything?”“No.” Mason shook his head. “Everything has been silent on Chairman Wells' end.”“And the Davenson family? The marriage contract?”Mason took a deep breath, before placing his device on the table. “The new trending news is the union between the Adams family and the Davenson family. However, the Davenson family business seems to have a pump of funds.”“From?” Robin frowned, dropping the pen in his hand like hot coal.Their business had tanked, investors pulling out and suddenly they had funds to inject into the business?There

“I don’t think you should meet her.” Mason stood in the way, eyes hardened barring Robin from getting to the car. “Why?” Robin raised a brow. “She needs help.”“I don’t think you should render it to her then.” Mason shrugged. “You have helped her enough and even created more enemies for her sake. What you should focus on right now is the introduction ceremony and the new business innovation we have.”They had just arrived in Eastbourne, preparing for the ceremony that would be happening over the weekend. Robin didn't need any sort of negative publicity right now especially with news of Cora’s marriage known all around Eastbourne.However, Robin was adamant. Everything didn't have to do with his fondness for Cora like Mason was thinking. She was the core of all that was happening. Her marriage to Ethan, and her connection with Chairman Wells. To Robin, he had to have her in his grasp to crawl into his enemies’ perfect lives like vines. He had let her go the last time, knowing she wo

Almost ten hours had passed and now Cora pranced about in her bedroom, biting on her knuckles and awaiting Robin’s reply. He hadn't even seen her text message and now, she started to think he had been bluffing. Who in their right mind would kill their stepbrother for her?At this point, she decided to bear the cross herself. She dressed up, stepped out of her room to meet up with Ethan who had come to take her for dress shopping. Her parents sat on the couch across from him, staring down at him. Dean was silently daring him to lay his hands on Cora later while Maria kept huffing and puffing, wanting to send him away as soon as possible. “My parents have demanded a meeting with you both. We need to finalize—”“We will be meeting with them this weekend.” Cora got to the foot of the stairs, her voice booming through the room.Ethan turned to her with his brows raised, “Really?”“Isn’t that what you want?” She shrugged. “You want the marriage, don’t you?”“After the meeting, we will ha
