Chapter 71: Trouble At The Boutique.
The air in the boutique was thick and heavy with tension as Drake stared at her. A frown creased his face at the accusation. The bright lights from the chandeliers increased the tension with its glowing lights over the silent room. He looked and studied the receptionist behind the counter carefully. She was a young woman with a harsh expression on her face. Her eyes scanned his plain jeans and simple shirt with absolute disgust. She tapped her well polished and expensive nails against the glass counter and sighed at him once again.“You need to leave right now," she said. Her voice was sharp and laced with intense hate and disgust. “We do not attend to beggars,” she added to further humiliate him.Drake felt a cold sensation run down his spine. It was not fear but pure irritation. He had built the biggest company in the country. He had crushed ruthless men and survived the darkest nights. Yet here he was being insulted by a mere staff member. The fact that she referred to him as a

"You know what?" Kelly snorted. "Call security. I want this thing dragged out of here,"The receptionist smiled sheepishly. "Right away ma," She pressed some figures on the machine in front of her and seconds later, the heavy sound of the security boots echoed through the boutique. Four large and well built security guards marched into the room with stern faces..The receptionist immediately pointed her finger straight at Drake. “There he is,” she shouted. “Throw that fraudster out. He is causing a scene and harassing our VIP customer.” She smirked.Kelly tucked her arms into her side smiling wickedly.“This is exactly what you deserve,” she spat. “I want to watch them drag you out by your hair. You are a disgrace to society.” She brutally remarked. Her words were laced with pure hatred and cruelty and most importantly, her heart pounded with joy at the sight of his downfall. She was finally getting revenge for all the pain he supposedly put her family through.The guards surrounded
Chapter 73: The Suit.
The heavy glass doors slammed shut behind Kelly as she landed hard on the pavement outside the boutique. A sharp pain shot through her knees as her ankle twisted. Her beautiful and elegant red dress was now covered in dust and dirt. And sadly, her oversized designer bag fell into the gutter.She was gasping for breath but the air was too suffocating to breathe, almost as if she had suddenly forgotten how to breathe. A crowd closed in, passerbys stopping to watch her humiliation.They gathered around her like she was a street beggar, some pointing their fingers and whispering. Some offered to help, some clamored that she was being violated, while some looked at her like she deserved it, like they had seen the full drama inside.The stares only made her angrier. They were looking at her with pity mixed with curiosity and judgement. She was Kelly Winters for crying out loud. Couldn't they see that? Couldn't nobody recognize her?She struggled to sit up, nursing her injuries. She was sup
Chapter 74: Everybody With A Plan
Lydia rolled her trembling hand over her pale face. She sat alone in her massive office, the room dark and suffocating. The air conditioner was on, humming loudly but she was still sweating profusely.Things were just moving so fast that it was difficult to grasp. Within another day, the police had taken her in for a second questioning, this time linking her to the murder of the thugs.She scratched her head, thinking fast. Did it mean that someone was secretly watching her? Because how did the police even think that she could have ordered those murders? And the thug in the hospital, she had to get to him fast before he spilled.With that, she grabbed the burning cigarette on the table and puffed in, long and draggy. She exhaled the thick smoke with a shaky breath as the cold seeped deep into her, mixed with fear.Just thinking about the fact that the police could dig up new set of evidences to get her gave her a panic attack and a head ache.Her hands were shaking as she stared at th
Chapter 75: A Fleeting Kiss.
Aria sat in the living room, laptop opened as she punched. She sighed, already feeling tired, but she really needed to get off her work for the day before preparing to meet Drake for dinner tonight.Her throat ached and she coughed, standing up to get water when a knock sounded on her door.She frowned. Who was that?She went to the door and opened it to see a delivery guy. He held a bouquet of yellow lilies in his hands with a sticky note.“Ms. Aria?”“Yes?”“Delivery from Mr Drake,”Aria's frown deepened, but she reached out and took the flowers. “Oh. Okay. Thank you,”“Have a nice day,”“You too,”Inside, Aria admired the lilies that smelled so well. The sticky note caught her attention: “On my way to your place soon. I hope you like the flowers xxx”Aria found herself smiling as she sniffed in the scent. So thoughtful. She walked to the laptop and closed it, dropping the lilies on the table before walking to the bathroom for a quick shower.Minutes later, she heard her doorbell ri
Chapter 76: Two Old Friends.
The bright sun brought absolutely no warmth and peace to Kelly Winters. She woke up in her large bed with a pounding headache and a bitter taste in her mouth.Her entire body was aching with the sharp pain from being violently thrown onto the concrete pavement the previous night. She dragged herself out of the rumpled bedsheets and walked slowly into her luxurious bathroom. She stared blankly at her reflection in the large mirror. Her face looked very pale and tired and surprisingly old. It looked nothing like the face she had maintained with so much money. The wrinkles around her eyes were now very visible, showing the stress she was currently going through. Her entire family was standing shamefully on the edge of total financial ruin and chaos. The public shame of being banned from the luxury boutique still burned like acid in her chest. Grief filled her soul as she remembered that day, it was still fresh in her head. The reality that Drake was kind of doing better now made the t
Chapter 77: Shame.
"There's no way you can run away from this, Kelly. As long as you're alive, you'll continue to bear the consequences of your actions," Sabrina sneered. "You want to escape us? Go dig a hole and bury yourself,""Keep your voice down and stop being a nuisance," Kelly whispered fiercely. Gosh, these women were really pissing her off. “I guess losing all your money, the penthouse and your daughter's crumbling career has put you in a very horrible situation. Look at that place face," Cici said and they burst into laughter.Kelly felt a sweat break out on her forehead. "Don't be daft. You clearly do not know what you are talking about. My family is doing perfectly fine and our bank accounts are full! Your plans and wishes to see us fail can never work!” Cici stepped much closer now and crossed her arms tightly over her chest, smirking at the annoying look on the other woman's face. She had been planning for an opportunity like this in a very long while. “Stop lying through foolishly, Kel
Chapter 78: The Truth About Lydia
The heavy sound of Drake’s expensive shoes hitting the concrete floor echoed through the dark underground facility. The walls were cold and the air was heavy with the smell of death and absolute fear. Four large and well built security guards stood by the corners of the dark room. Their faces were stern with well-built muscles.They looked ready to destroy anything in their path and the one thing in their path right now was the miserable man tied to a metal chair in the center of the room.He was the sick thug from the gang who was hospitalized and with Silas's commanded, they had brought him here. Drake walked in with an aura of absolute dominance. He was dressed in his customized black suit that fitted perfectly around his broad muscular shoulders that made him look like a mafia boss. He looked incredibly wealthy and highly dangerous -like a powerful king.Silas, his subordinate, immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply in respect.“Welcome back sir,” Silas said softly. Drake
Chapter 79: Fake Documents.
Leo stood in the middle of the room, still waiting for Lydia. She was running late and he was already panicking. The deadly threats from Darius was still ringing endlessly in his head. He just had two weeks left to pay up. The luxury penthouse was beautifully decorated with expensive candles and a soft romantic music playing in the background. A bottle of vintage wine rested on a silver tray. He sighed at the sight, satisfied. This was the perfect trap. Lydia would have no single idea.Just then, the front door opened softly and Leo turned around, his eyes landing on Lydia. But she didn't look happy. Her appearance was a complete disaster. She looked very pale and tired and he knew she was still thinking of the ordeals going on in her life. “My angel,” He called out softly, quickly putting on his fake mask of affection and care. He walked over and took her in his arms, kissing her forehead.Lydia forced a very deep sigh and dropped her designer bag on the floor. She leaned her hea
Chapter 80: A Feeling Of Warmness.
The evening sky was red, acting like a blanket over the massive city and also painting it in red color.The air was thick with a very heavy tension as Aria stood in the center of her large bedroom. She took a slow, calm and deep breath to steady her racing heart and thereafter she stared at her own reflection in the massive mirror. Two daysTwo days since she the awkward kiss scene with Drake. Two days of silence between themShe wanted to call, wanted to reach out. She had picked up her phone, probably typed messages a hundred times before clearing them out in frustration. Her hand repeatedly hovered around the call button, but she just couldn't press it.What would she say? Sorry I kissed you? Sorry I allowed my emotions get the better of me? Sorry I can't stop thinking about that kiss?She groaned and plopped back into the chair.Her phone suddenly buzzed, making her jump. Her heart skipped. Was it Drake calling? If it was, then…Her excitement disappeared when her eyes caught th
