“That’s Lady Bianca. Pearl’s Mother.” Brian’s response eased some of the tension, granting the people standing behind them some relief.Seeing that there was no cause for alarm, they decided it was time to return to their homes, leaving one after the other.Maddie was the last to leave, dragging her feet as though the guilt that gripped her couldn’t let her move her legs freely.But it was uncertain to know if she was staring at Brian because she was sorry, or if she wanted to hear something to gossip about. Arya looked totally unpleased from the moment Brian told her who the middle-aged lady was.Her flashing eyes confirmed her annoyance, her feet making two steps forward while she continued staring.“What’s she doing here?” She asked in a low tone, her eyes still on the car that had already pulled to a stop in front of them.“I have absolutely no idea, Love.” Brian gave a quick response, then he cleared his throat. There was only one way to find out, and Arya seemed to be

“What’s he doing here?!” Nelly fumed, the smile on her face vanishing as it had never been there.She took a deep breath, then she turned to the young man beside her. “One moment, please. I need to take care of this loser…” “Who is he?” Paul asked, his eyes returning to Brian..But instead of giving him a response, Nelly slipped through his grip and began to march down the doorstep with so much aggression.“Be careful,” Paul warned with a soft tone, then he turned to Brian. He saw nothing dangerous about him, yet that didn’t stop him from making a move to protect his girlfriend. “Wait for me, Nelly!” He called out as he jumped down, but the lady had already increased her pace, eyes burning with hatred while she thudded toward Brian. “Why are you back to this place?!” She had so much vileness in her tone. “I thought Aunt Bianca warned you never to show your face here again!” She snorted, ready to poke his eyes with her sharp and long nails. Just then, Paul got closer t

“Who let this bastard into this place!” She yelled, pushing down the steps. “I thought I told you that I never wanted to see your face again! Are you here to beg?!” Lady Bianca stepped forward, marching through the space Nelly had created.He stood ahead of Romeo, then she cleared her throat. “Who let this loser into this place?” “I didn’t…” Nelly stated that before she could suspect, looking the lady in the eyes.“Paul and I were on our way out when we saw him walking into this place.” She explained, the anger in her eyes increasing.She focused all her rage on Brian, just as every other person with her.“So why is he here?” Lady Bianca muttered, expecting a response from no one. She remained silent for a few seconds, then she took a deep breath. “Pearl is done with you, Brian. You should move on.”“That is exactly what I am doing, Mrs. Stuttgart. That is why I am here.” Brian remarked, his tone low but audible. “I am here to claim what now belongs to me.” Lady Bia

“What does it say?” Lady Bianca was the first to attempt to peep before Romeo and the others. She turned to Morgan and Pearl, but neither of them said anything.“How can you come into this place with such?! Does this place look like a circus center to you?” Pearl was getting angrier, glowering at the Assistant Bank Manager.“What does it say?” Romeo was forced to speak, reaching to grab the document.“Let me see…” Lady Bianca got a hold of it before he could, grabbing the other edge with her left hand.As she read, her eyes turned dark, her brows furrowing above her wrinkling veins. “Is this a joke?!” She turned to Morgan, her visage drained of its color.Instantly, Morgan no longer looked dashing in her eyes.He looked like an enemy that had come out of nowhere to steal their peace and joy away from them.“An evacuation order?!” Nelly gasped when she finally saw what was written on the top of the front page.She turned to Morgan for explanations, but he silently made it c

The quarrel seemed like it was going to persist until the sound of screeching tires was heard. “Oh. They are here…” Morgan announced excitedly, turning toward the wheeling van before any other person.“They are right on time…” He turned and began to walk toward it like he had abandoned them to their fate.Brian didn’t bother to look at the van. He stood as though he knew exactly what was about to happen. The driver of the van was very meticulous about the way he handled the wheel, showing his expertise as he followed Morgan’s gestural instructions.The moment he parked by the corner, six men in tagged tracksuits jumped out, sending fear into Pearl and her company.They drifted back without knowing it, staring widely as they approached.“Who are these men?” Nelly turned to Morgan with wide eyes, then she gulped noisily.“Why are they here?”“To make sure you leave just as I said,” Morgan responded, approaching behind the men. “They have five more minutes, and if by that ti
