Felix couldn't help but pay attention to her words. He had never seen Star with such passion to be heard.Eunice cursed in her heart and wished Star would stop talking. She already suspected where she was heading with the first punchline she dropped.Star shook her head in raw anger and continued, “Mrs. Eunice Hayden would always want her wish to prevail. Wow! No one dares to question your decision no matter how wrong or inconvenient it was!”“I've lived my life wanting to please you! Wanting to be the daughter you'd always be proud of! To hell with you mum! What about me? What about my will, choice, and happiness? Did you ever for a second consider those too? Huh?”The long carried burden in Star's heart was gradually loosening up as she kept talking with her voice held high, “From my choice of meal, lifestyle, education, vacations, jobs.” She momentarily paused and flashed a mean glare at Felix. “Even to the boys I date. You always interfered as if you owned my life. What the hell!”

Margaret's brow furrowed; she clearly didn't like the part of Star possibly being forgiven by Achilles. She wasn't ready to drag her dream man with his purported ex-wife.Achilles' face turned more serious, “I'm more concerned about the welfare of my daughter and I think Star is very much ready to train her than she had been in the last seven years. It's looking like Star could tell from good and evil.”The Warlord's face dripped with a frown, “But I don't have plans of forgiving her. Star knew what she was doing when she paid me back with evil and left me unattended in cold blood on the street after they pushed me off. Thank heavens for Margaret Julian, who showed compassion and saved my life.”Achilles’ face turned with a delightful beam as he appreciated Margaret, who had been blushing all along.In the spur of the moment, Margaret chimed in, “Well, thankfully, I was searching for you ‘cause of the imminent assassination plot on the Prime Minister's life. If that wasn't the case. I

Felix, after exiting the mansion for an exquisite hotel, was considering whether to briefly relocate to Madrid and stay with his older brother for a while.On second thought, he remembered the control and power struggle going on with him and the ladies. He wouldn't be surprised if Michelle was pressing the backdoor button to have him dethroned and find her fingers on the documents and the recording he made of their last conversation.However, Felix was hoping for the ladies to find it extremely difficult to work together again, given how trust and loyalty had been shredded into pieces and flushed through the drain.Felix believed that if the ladies stayed apart and didn't find a means to work together against him, then he should have momentum against them.Eunice was considering whether to spill the truth to Star about not being her biological mother. If she kept playing the mummy's card, to what end exactly? Star had already crossed the lines deeper this time around.She was plunged

Goosebumps ran through the Faithfuls' shoulders at the sound of those heartfelt words from Gabrielle. Without a doubt, they could see the bond that they shared and understood why it was impossible for Star or anyone to break them.It dawned on them why Achilles didn't think twice about wanting eight percent of Hector's offshore funds and assets to be willed to Gabrielle if he had died while saving the Prime Minister from the imminent assassination plot.Achilles, with swinging emotions, embraced Gabrielle as both giggled for a while.Gabrielle whispered some words into her ear while staring peacefully at Ms. Margeret Julian. “Dad, give love another chance. Don't hold onto what the Haydens’ did. You need to get your life in full swing.”Achilles drew a deep breath and knew Gabrielle wasn't trying to make a tease as always. She actually meant those words and really wanted him to be happy.He wondered how a seven-year-old kid would be that smart and intentional about life.Achilles went

Star's breath hitched as she mouthed those words while reaching for Gabrielle's beautiful fingers.At the first touch, Gabrielle yanked her hand to her chest and still kept her face in the opposite direction.Star's breath came in sharp gasps, a knot formed in her throat, and all she could do was swallow hard.She didn't blame Gabrielle in any way. She hadn't been paying attention to her daughter as both drifted apart after Achilles' accident.Both have been living like strangers, wearing pretentious beams and smiles just for the day to pass by, while things kept getting worse.The few times they tried having deep conversations all got into an argument for obvious reasons.Star could see through Gabrielle’s heart and understood what she had been going through for several months. It felt like her daughter had been nursing hatred against her and the Haydens’ household for what they did.She could relate ‘cause she had buried anger against Eunice for over fifteen years and knew how menta
