2026-02-08 05:36:20Maxwell’s eyes narrowed on the expected gaze on Sienna’s eyes and it finally dawned on him. She was in cohorts with Nathan!
“What did you do?!” He growled, making Sienna take a step back. “Did you also drug her with him?” Sienna swallowed back in fear, shrugging her shoulders as her eyes were everywhere but on Maxwell. “Drugged? Don’t be dramatic, Maxwell. Nathan is a gentleman from a well rich and respected family. If he gave her something to help her relax and make her more agreeable then it was for her own good, she’s just too stubborn. If she had cooperated, our family’s future would have been secured by now!” She reached out to poke at Arabella’s arm but Maxwell shifted making her hand to freeze in the air mid way. “She is your daughter. How could you do this to her?!” Maxwell questioned, his voice rising. “I did what any mother would do!” Sienna snapped back. “I gave her an opportunity with a real man! Now, put her in her room and get out. You have done more than enough. And don’t think we have forgotten about the stunts you pulled, embarrassing all of us. The deadline is tomorrow and all eyes are on us now all because of you. When Arabella wakes up and realizes that she has been awarded the contract because of me and also Nathan, I would make sure she divorces you and our family will finally be the most revered branch of the Zades.” Maxwell stared at her for a long time before shaking his head. He wondered who would have cursed Arabella with such a vile mother. “We shall see who will have the last laugh.” The next morning, Arabella’s eyes fluttered open. A resounding headache slammed into her immediately, she held her head with a groan while trying to sit up. Her vision was fuzzy as she squinted her eyes trying to take in her surroundings. “Bella, are you okay?” Maxwell said beside her, a worried look in his eyes as he handed her a pill and a glass of water. “Here, take this, it will help with the headache.” Arabella reached out weakly and drank, a few minutes later she felt much better. Suddenly, the memories of last night slammed into her. She remembered getting off the taxi in front of the Grand Hotel with her mother urging her on to meet with the director of the Forest Hill company and Nathan. “Maxwell, what happened? How did I come back home?” She asked with a raised brow. “You don’t remember what happened? Nathan tried to force his way with you last night. I came in and saw you lying on the bed unconscious,” Maxwell narrated. “Oh my! Did he touch me? What happened to him?” Arabella’s hand flew towards Maxwell. Maxwell held her in his hands softly. “No, he didn’t touch you. I made sure of it.” Arabella shuddered at the dark look in Maxwell’s eyes. “Did… you do something to him? What happened to him?” Maxwell shrugged. “I don’t know. He wasn’t in the room when I came in.” “That’s not possible,” Arabella muttered, trying to fetch back her memories but nothing came back but she was sure she had heard groans of pain and breaking of glasses and someone carrying up from the bed and spoke to her. That voice… That voice sounded like Maxwell. She looked up at him, many questions running through her. He was definitely hiding something from her. The beads he had gifted to her grandfather were an extraordinary piece according to Master Holloway, how did he get his hands on it?

Maxwell’s lips pressed into a thin line. It was good thing he had informed Hardin before hand to leak it to the media that the building’s foundation was faulty because how would he be able to explain the situation to Arabella?“Look,” He said, showing her the news headline on his phone. The news headline read: An accident occurred in M&M group of companies. The accident led to the collapse of their office complex due to faulty foundation and low cost building materials. This led to the death of Jasmine Magnum and Jasper Merges, who also couldn’t get out on time was hit and is currently undergoing treatment at the hospital but sources say he will be bedridden for a long time as he has been paralyzed from the neck down.Maxwell glanced at her and said, “You see. I didn’t lie. Did I?”Arabella finally believed him and sighed. “It’s their karma. I can’t believe Jasper would do something like that to me.”“Don’t blame yourself, Arabella,” Max
Chapter 57: M&M In Ruins
“You… you killed her!” Jasper cried, thrashing manically as he crawled on his knees towards his wife’s cold body. “You don’t know what you have done! They won’t let you go.”Maxwell glanced at him, the look in his eyes made Jasper’s blood grow cold and he swallowed. He knew he was next but he didn’t want to die.He immediately tried to beg. “Sir, please forgive me! I didn’t know what came over me! I shouldn’t have touched her!”“You drugged my wife. And not only that, you lied against her. Why do you think I should go let go?”Maxwell asked, furrowing his brows.Jasper’s eyes diluted in their sockets as he thought of what to say. “I… I can stop her family from coming after you. I swear, I would put in a good word for you and you can be safe from them and even the Vallis family and I can give out the materials to your wife for free!”Maxwell let out a dark chuckle. “I’m very sure you have done this before and there’s absolutely no way
Chapter 56: Jasmine’s Death
The bodyguard hurriedly produced the knife from his pocket. “Miss, let me do it. I can’t allow you stain yourself with blood. I will teach this bitch a lesson on your behalf.”As he tried to approach Arabella, Jasmine pulled him back and gave him a heavy slap on the cheek. “You brainless idiot! I said give it to me. I didn’t ask for your help!”“I’m sorry, Miss. Here you go,” The bodyguard said, cupping his face while handing over the knife to her.“Get out!” She yelled.“Yes ma’am,” he replied, walking away while glaring at Arabella. Jasmine held the knife firmly in her hands as she walked towards Arabella with a determined smirk on her face. Arabella struggled to free herself from the burly men’s hold as her eyes widened with fear but it was for no use and the drug’s effect on her was still strong.“Don’t you dare touch my wife!” A voice sounded from the door freezing Jasmine in place. Jasmine turned around and came

Jasper laughed. “Why? You came here to look for help right? Perhaps we can help each other.”Then, he leaned closer to touch her. Arabella tried to move away from him but she was already at the edge of the couch with nowhere else to run. She was trying her best to fight away the dizziness while clutching her phone with her hands.“Maxwell, please save me,” She muttered.Meanwhile, Maxwell was at his company go through some files in his office. He smiled as he saw Arabella’s call. He picked it up immediately.“Hello, wife.”His face darkened instantly as he listened to the conversation going on at the other end. His free hand clenched tightly. Jasper Merges had drugged his wife! He definitely had a death wish!He ended the call and scrolled through his contact list and dialed Hardin’s number. He picked at the first ring.“Get everyone that you can get to M&M group of companies now!”“Yes commander!” Hardin responded. “I will head over to the company now with a helicopter. We can get
Chapter 54: Jasper’s Ill Intentions
Jasper squinted seductively at Arabella. She is so beautiful, he thought.He compared her to his old, nagging wife at home. That ugly, shriveled woman was nowhere close to Arabella’s beauty. Arabella’s exquisite looks as well as her prefect figure made her the most perfect woman to ever exist!He had always had eyes for her when she had started her internship at his company but his wife had him on lock and key so he had never thought of having an affair then. But looking at it now, he wasn’t able to resist her.He wondered why he didn’t have the luck to marry her. Why would such a beautiful woman decide to end up with loser like Maxwell? Although, he was the heir to the Green’s empire, but that was all gone now. He could offer her everything that loser couldn’t!Today, he wanted a taste of this beauty before him. As his thoughts went wild, he pasted a smile on his face and said, “I’m sure you had many options before you came to me. And b
Chapter 53: Starting A New Company
The next morning, Arabella was up early. Maxwell stared at her as she brushed her hair. From the mirror, she saw him walking into the room.“Oh, good morning.”“Good morning, wife. Where are you off to so early?” Maxwell asked with a raised brow as he set the breakfast tray he was holding in his hands on the bedside table.“Uhm, have you forgotten what I said last night?” She said with pout. “Anyways, I’m meeting with some major investors today. I would like to begin as soon as possible.”“Oh I see,” Maxwell replied. “Then, I will come with.”Arabella shook her head as she stood up from the dressing table and went to eat her breakfast Maxwell had brought for her. “That won’t be necessary, Max. I can’t have the President of the most powerful company in the city following me around.”Maxwell chuckled. “You didn’t have problems in the past.”“Well, that was because I didn’t know but now that I do, my word stands and be
