Cora's eyes narrowed as she watched Jane walk in like she owned the place. However, Robin was calm as he didn't take a second glance at her.He turned to Cora, a slight smile on his face, "I will contact you, soon."He couldn't stand staying in the same space as Jane and so, he turned around to leave but then she wasn't going to let him leave so easily.She held his hand, her long nails digging into his clothes, "Are you leaving because of me, Robin?""Why else?" He shrugged. "We can't stand each other after all."Jane pursed her lips, momentarily stunned by that but then she knew Robin had no filter when it came to her. He wouldn't hesitate to ridicule her if she crossed the line. But then, she needed to talk some sense into him."You are family..." She began, her lips curling, warm and welcoming but then in her eyes she spilled venom."We shouldn't keep fighting for too long, especially since Ethan is about to get married to Cora."At that moment, he swiped her hand off him, his bro

Robin pulled the door open, with his brows furrowing in question. “What do you want?”“I…” She stuttered, pulling out a gift box from her pyjama pocket. “I got you a gift…” She smiled, innocently, batting her eyelids. “Oh, really?” He was surprised, but then he looked intently at her. She was way different from the Christina he met at the Triad Lounge. She had been a boss lady, like a force to be reckoned with but now, she was acting all cutesy and innocent. She opened the gift box, revealing a watch. The newest edition of a luxury brand and at that moment, Robin’s eyes dimmed. “Why did you get this?”“Uhmm…” She laughed nervously. “I thought of getting you something before visiting Eastbourne.”“And I noticed you seemed to love watches, the last time at the Triad Lounge. I think this is the right time to give this to you.”“Don’t you think this is too much?” He hesitated, as he needed to know what thought went behind the gift. It wasn't an easy feat to get a watch that was jus

As Ethan took the attention, most of the guests present naturally wanted to know why he had a mask on his face. Amongst the upperclass, it had lowkey spread that he had a serious altercation, however, they didn't know the details of the story.Ethan took in all the attention boasting with his shoulders raised high."I was only protecting my woman." He said, snatching Cora's waist and pulling her closer.The guests immediately commended him, "She must be so lucky!"As they continued to gather around, they gasped as the prime minister stood up, ready to address them."Quick! I think it's time!""Who are you betting on? Who do you think is the newest member?" They clinked their glasses, eyes swarming through the room.A guest's eyes zeroed in on Robin, "I think it's him."However, the others all burst out laughing in mockery. "Who wouldn't think it's him?""After all, all he does is suck up to Chairman Black while disregarding his family. Do you think the board will make it so obvious if

The guests all rallied around James, and the rest of the board while narrating what had gone on in the parking lot. Robin's hands fisted behind him as Chairman Black glanced at him again and he started to walk toward them, eyes straight with no fear.Christina walked behind him, dragging on her feet. This was meant to be an elevation for her, to climb the social ladder but it seemed she would be plunged into the pit instead.As Robin reached the board members, the police walked in, immediately surrounding the crime scene, and not only the police, but several reporters had gotten wind of the tragic news in such a short while."Mr. Robin Davenson and Miss Christina Devon, we would like to take you in for questioning."They moved, wanting to cuff their hands but Chairman Black stepped up, his brows creasing."Why are you taking him? It's not confirmed if he killed her or not.""Yes." One of the police officers nodded. "However, he was the one at the crime scene together with Christina,

As the doctor stared at Maria, she almost collapsed when she didn't get the answer she needed soon enough. Her body staggered when she saw the forlorn look on the Doctor’s face. “My daughter…” She shivered. “I'm sorry, but we lost her.”Maria staggered, and as her eyes blurred, her sight turned dazed and faint. However, Dean was right there to hold her still. The next second, she passed out in his arms. At the same time, Jane couldn't help the smile that crossed her lips. Cora died without her having to lift a finger. ___“UNFORTUNATELY, CORA WILLIAMS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED DEAD TODAY AT THE CITY’S HOSPITAL.”“INVESTIGATIONS ARE STILL ONGOING AND THE POLICE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE.”In the police station, the words of the reporters kept repeating in Robin’s ears, as he tapped his fingers on the metal desk slowly and very precisely. “1…2…3…” He muttered and on the last count, the door opened and two police officers marched in, their hard gazes on Robin. “Officers…” Robin sa
