《Her Sweet Revenge》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Asanel Anderson Sixteen year old Asanel ran hurriedly, her hair swaying side to side as she did. She checked her wristwatch and she groaned. But then she heaved a sigh of relief when she finally got there. She met guards hovering around and she sighed. "Not again.." She groaned. She walked towards them with a smile. "Hi uncles.." She greeted and bowed her head lightly. "Oh, you''re here again.." One of them said with a smile. "Come on in.." He said and then opened the gates for her. Asanel smiled and walked in. Her eyes scanned the beautiful penthouse and she walked in. Into the living room. Then she saw him seated on the sofa, his eyes glued on a book. "Jason.." She called and the handsome young guy looked up and then he smiled when he saw her. "Pretty, you are here.." He said and Asanel rolled her eyes. She walked towards him and dragged his ear. Jason groaned immediately. "Couldn''t you have waited for me before proceeding here?" Asanel asked. "I''m sorry.." He pouted his lips cutely and Asanel freed his ear. Jasonughed again. "Hmn, did you know how I had to run over here? And I must be home before six. Mum must never know I''m with you.." She sighed and Jason smiled. "Even my parents must know that I''m with you, especially my step mum.." Jason said. "We have just have to be patient. One day, this feud will stop.." Jason smiled and then caressed her hands. Asanel smiled. "In ss, you are really cold but here, you are just something else.." Asanel smiled and Jason let out a scoff and faced her. Well, Jason was a very cold type, he snobs everyone most of the time. It even took time before Asanel and him became friends. They never got along at the first instance but theyter became close friends in a couple of months. "I told you, only you can see my soft side.." He whispered sending tingles down her spine. Their hearts raced in unison as they both slowly stared into each other''s eyes and he cupped her cheeks. He brought his face closer to hers and then he smashed his lips on hers. Immediately he did, both eyes closed, their affections poured out with the kisses. He wasn''t gentle at all, he immediately parted her lips with his tongue and she opened up, holding him tightly and pulling him more closer to her. ** Hourster. Asanel groaned and opened her eyes, she looked around and disc overed that she was in the bedroom, und with just the duvet covering her. Her eyes widened when she remembered what happened hours earlier. Jason and her kissed, things got out of hand and they got intimate! She turned over to her side but Jason wasn''t there anymore. He just left her there. Maybe he used her. "No, no.." She gasped,tears running down her cheeks. "What did I just do? I''m just sixteen for crying out loud. We are both just sixteen, so young and we did this. Gosh! I must be stupid!" She cried and tried getting out of bed but the pains down there stopped her. Well of course, she''s still a virgin and she foolishly gave herself out to him. She took her clothes which were lying not far beside her and she wore them crying. As soon as she stood up, Jason walked in with a tray of food. He dropped the food on a table nearby and then walked towards her. "Where are you going?" He asked, trying to touch her but she moved backwards. ''Home.." She answered coldly and tried to walk away but he grabbed her wrist. "Wait. Why.." "Why are you stopping me? Do you want to remind me how cheap I was giving myself to you. How this is a fling?!" She yelled but she was surprised when he pulled her into a hug, a tight embrace. "Just calm down.." He said and Asanel broke down in his arms crying. He broke the hug and wiped off her tears. "Why are you crying, huh?" He asked softly. "And for your information, you are not a fling. You are not one of those girls that gives themselves cheaply to me. You are different.." He whispered and caressed her cheeks. "I never thought I could fall in love. I didn''t believe in love but you just blew me off; that I''m so crazy about you. I love you. I love you.." He muttered and ced his forehead on hers as their breath mashed together but then Asanel pushed him off and then ran off. "Gosh!'' He groaned and fell on the bed. ** Asanel got down from the cab and she hugged herself slightly. Then she opened the gate of her house, then she walked in. "Will mum be at home?" She asked herself as she walked in. When she got into the living room, the lights were switched off Asanel smiled and then was about to tiptoe to her room when the lights suddenly turned on. Asanel gasped. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Where are you doing from? Asanel Anderson?" Her mum''s voice was heard behind her. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The Madison¡¯s evil ns Where are youing from? Asanel Anderson?" Her mum''s voice was heard behind her. "Mum.." Asanel called and turned back. "I asked you a question? Where were you?" Matilda asked, walking towards her. "Mum, I went out with a friend.." Asanel answered. Matilda sighed and then hugged her daughter gently. "I''m sorry sweetie, I know I''ve not been here for you, for sometime now but I just can''t help it. I really want to unravel that case, about what happened tody who was raped to death..'' Matilda said. Well, unfortunately for Asanel, her mum, Matilda was a dedicated and hardworking journalist and her Dad, too a CIA agent. He was rarely at home. Asanel couldn''t say she was close to both her parents, since they were both busy. "I have a strong feeling that ''The Madisons are involved with this.." Matilda said and Asanel broke the hug. The Madisons were the ruling family of the city. James Madison was the governor and also a wealthy tycoon, he owns differentpanies in the city and also overseas. He''s also the founder and owner of Asanel''s high school. His wife, Lauren Madison was also a congresswoman but she was his second wife. They had three children -Jason Madison, Tyson Madison and Reba Madison. "Mum, not again.." Asanel said. "Sweetheart, believe me. It''s true and that''s why I want you to stay away from their son, their family is up to no good. One of the witnesses confessed that James is a drug lord.." Asanel''s eyes widened immediately she heard that. "Andtely, both me and your dad has been receiving death threats.." "I was almost run over by a car, yesterday. Everything can''t just be a coincidence..." Matilda said and Asanel nodded. She actually didn''t want to believe it but then she remembered she received a parcel a week ago from an unknown person. And when she opened it, she found her parents and her picture stained with blood and a note saying "Beware of your actions or you will lose your family.." Asanel sighed. She didn''t want to think about it. She was too young for this. "Mum, where''s dad? He''s supposed to be home today.." Asanel said. "That''s true.." Matilda said and just then her phone rang. She smiled when she saw it was her husband calling. "It''s your dad.." She told Asanel and she answered the call. "Honey.." She called. "Maltida, I''ve found something rting to the rape case.." Daniel said and the smile on Matilda''s face erased almost immediately. "What? Tell me. How did you find out?" Matilda asked. "It''s rted to ''The Madison''s''. They have a hand involved with it and also some of the politicians are involved too.." "Wait, but are you sure you are not followed. Are you safe?" Matilda asked. "Don''t worry, I''m safe but then, Matilda, no matter what happens, stay strong for Asanel and our family. No matter what happens, be strong.." Daniel said. "What are you saying? You are making me scared!" Matilda chuckled nervously. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "It''s nothing. I love you very much and Asanel also. Tell her I love her very much. I''ll see you at home.." He said and then hung up. "Mum, what''s the matter? You look tense?" Asanel asked and Matilda sighed. "Your dad called and he said he found some evidence against ''The Madison''s'' but then he was speaking in parables.." "Anel, go and rest for now. It''s gettingte already. I''ll wake you up tomorrow.." Matilda said and then kissed Asanel''s forehead. ''Goodnight mum.." Asanel sai d and walked into her room. ** Asanel got into her room and she fell on the bed remembering what happened earlier today. And now, what''s the Madison''s connection to the rape case and also her parents. Asanel picked up her phone, then she turned it on and then her phone beeped. She gasped when she saw it. It was a message from Jason. She already missed 10 messages from him and 12 missed calls from him. "I really love you so much, Asanel" "What happened today, I''ll take responsibility for it.." "Please give me a chance to redeem myself. Just a chance to prove myself to you" "I love you baby, please reply me.." Asanel sighed deeply. She remembered the kiss and smiled. He really was a good kisser. She felt butterflies in her stomach. And yeah, she didn''t deny the fact that she loves him. She did but knowing the current situation of both their families. That would be dangerous. Lauren and James already showed they didn''t like her. Asanel sighed when she remembered thepetition that took ce three months ago. Lauren Madison was the chief judge of thepetition. She had actually won thepetition but the award was given to someone else. The look Lauren gave her was enough to shut her up and even when Jason and her were caught talking, she was warned severely by Lauren to stay away from Jason else she would be punished. As she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard her mum scream. Asanel''s eyes widened and she immediately wore her flip flops and ran out of her room. She walked into her mum''s room and found her on the ground crying. Asanel rushed towards her immediately and crouched before her. ''What happened mum?" She asked, confused. She was starting to get scared, seeing the way her mum was crying now. "Mum, what happened?" She asked again with fear in her voice. "It''s your dad.." Matilda said and hupped. "Wh..what happened to dad?'' Asanel stuttered. "He was shot. He was shot multiple times in the heart and he''s.. he''s dead!" Matilda released the bombshell and Asanel''s eyes widened. Tears rushed out of her eyes immediately. ** A man walked into his bedroom chuckling silently as he did. He got in and closed the door. "The job''s done, right?" He asked. "I''m d it''s done. It''s one burden off my neck.." He smiled and the door of the bathroom opened and a woman walked out of it, in her nightie. She walked to the ber and sat on it. Her husband hung up and faced her. "Lauren, it''s done. The CIA agent is gone now.." Lauren chuckled and then stood up. She walked to the drawer, opened it and brought out a pack of cigarettes. She took out one and lighted it, then she ced it in between her lips. "That''s right. That family has been a pest. It''s just only the wife and daughter, we have to do something about them also. Especially Matilda, she''s getting on my nerves.." Lauren said and puffed out the smoke. "Calm down, Lauren. We will take it one at a time. Let them mourn their loved one''s death and it will be their turn soon.." James said. "And yes, about their daughter, I think she''s having a rtionship with Jason. It''s obvious Jason loves her. Jason has never gone against us before but he did so, when we didn''t give her the award. We should not allow that to happen. You know Jason is already betrothed.." Lauren said and James smirked. "What''s her name again?" He asked Lauren. "Asanel Anderson.." Lauren replied. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Lady Red Asanel was in her room, crying heartily. She still couldn''t believe her dad was gone. Her dad was really no more. Even when she saw his body, she didn''t believe it. The door opened and her mum walked in. "Sweetheart.." Matilda called and Asanel wiped off her tears. Matilda smiled sadly and sat beside her. "I know how painful this is but it has happened, your dad is no more.." Matilda said and Asanel nodded with tears dropping from her eyes. Her dad and her were not too close but they still sweet moments together. He would do all he could to fulfil her wishes. "Mum, what''s the result of the investigation?" Asanel asked. "It was concluded that it''s robbery. At that your dad passed by, armed robbers attacked him from nowhere. They took his car, phone and money. Everything he had on him but then they shot him to death.." Matilda exined and Asanel furrowed her brows. "Since they got what they wanted. What was the need of killing him..." Asanel said in tears. "It''s nned. I''m very sure it''s not an ident. The Madison''s are involved in this. Moreover, your dad told me they had something to do with the rape case. He found evidence but it''s all gone.." Matilda said with clenched fists. "Asanel, I promise, I''ll make them pay for it." Matilda said and hugged her daughter. ** Jason groaned and sat up. He was not able to sleep. He picked up his phone again and checked it. She hasn''t replied nor called back. "Asanel.." He muttered and threw the phone on the bed. ** The next day. It was the wake of Daniel Anderson. While Matilda was attending to the well wishers, Asanel was in her room. Well, she had no one to attend to. She had no friends even in school aside Jason. They never wanted to be friends with her and she didn''t force it. "If the Madison''s were really involved in her dad''s death, then she''s going to help her mum find the evidence they need and bring tow. Wait, does it mean that Jason is also involved?" She asked herself. "No, it''s can''t be. For the past six months, Jason has been a very good friend. I know he knows nothing.." She told herself and smiled. Suddenly she heard her mum''s voice yelling "What are you doing here? You evil creatures?" Asanel immediately wore her flip flops and ran downstairs. She gasped when she saw the governor and his wife. Even Jason was with them. He smiled when he saw her. "I asked a question, what are you doing here?" Matilda asked, trying to maintain her cool. James smiled and removed his sunsses. "We are here to pay our condolences. We know the great work your family has done for this city. You and your husband help us in reducing the crime rate in the state and I''m very much grateful.." Matilda scoffed immediately he said that. Jason quickly sneaked away from them and ran to Asanel. He grabbed her hand and forcefully dragged her outside using the back door. "That''s why we decided toe in person and pay our respects to you.." Lauren added with a smile and Matilda scoffed again and moved closer to them. "I know you guys are responsible for my husband''s death and you are also involved with rape case, I know everything about you. And I promise to dig out your secret and show the world who you really are.." Matilda said angrily. Lauren smiled. "We have no idea of what you are talking about and what you are doing now is nder..." Lauren said. "I don''t care. Get out of here!" Maltida told them coldly and James sig hed. "Since you don''t want us here, we will leave.." James said and walked away. ** "Let me go!" Asanel yelled and hijacked her hand from his. "Why are you here?" Asanel asked him and he scoffed. "Did you really need to ask that? You refused to pick my calls and I understand that but why are you so cold?" "I told what happened the other night was not your fault. You are not che.." "It''s not about what happened yesterday. It''s about your parents and the fact that they had a hand in my dad''s death.." Jason looked at her surprised and then he scoffed. "What are you saying?" "Do you have any idea of what you are saying? You''re calling my parents murderer!" Jason snapped at her and she smiled. "They are. They killed my dad.." Asanel said. Jason sighed and then held her hands. "I know you are angry but just think rationally. We promised that we would forget about the feud between her families right. Let''s just stop this talk and focus on us!" He smiled but Asanel removed her hands from his. "I can''t. Anytime I see you, I will always remember my dad died because of your parents.." Jason moved backwards immediately. The look on his face reced with a cold look. "Great job. You did a great job Asanel. Thank you for breaking my heart.." Jason said and walked away even before she could say anything. Asanel sighed and tears dropped from her eyes. Meanwhile Lauren stood by the corner. She heard everything. Lauren smirked as she watched Jason get into the car. "I can now finally send you off with this.." She muttered. *** MADISON''S MANSION. Master''s bedroom. Lauren walked into the room and met James on hisptop. She sighed. "Honey, I need to talk to you about something.." She said and James looked st her. "What do you think about sending Jason overseas to further his education there.." Lauren smiled and sat on the bed. James sighed. "I actually thought of that but I don''t want to be separated from my son. I know he still resents me for his mum''s death. I want to make it up to him.." James said. "You can hon. But don''t you think sending him abroad is a good thing. I found out that he had a rtionship with Asanel. We can''t let him stay here, if we n to deal with that family.." Lauren said. James nodded. "You are right.." "I''ll ask them to prepare his flight to go to the states tomorrow.." "You won''t even ask for his opinion?" Lauren asked. "My opinion is his opinion. He wouldn''t refuse me.." James said and Lauren smirked. ** Unknown. She sat on the swivel chair and then took the sscup of wine, then she took to her lips and sipped from it. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. The door suddenly opened and a young man in a suit hurriedly walked in. He bowed slightly. "What''s it?" "Lady red, Daniel Anderson is dead. He was killed by armed robbers.." He said and she chuckled and turned to face him. "Do you honestly believe that? Armed robbers?" She scoffed and then dropped the ss of wine on the table. "Daniel was so stupid. If he had wanted to bring them down. He shouldn''t do so with thew. Thew is useless. And moreover, they have an upper hand with it.." "The Madison''s are much more powerful than he thinks and I''m sure they are going for his wife next.." She said and stood up. "Do you want to step in now?" He asked and she shook her head. "Not yet, I want to see what scheme Matilda has, up her sleeves. Then i will be sure to help her.." She smiled revealing her beautiful teeth. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Four This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. TWO WEEKS LATER. Asanel groaned and opened her eyes, she stood up and then ran out of her room ti the bathroom and then she vomited all she had been holding back. "Gosh! What''s it?" She muttered and rinsed her face. It''s been happening for three days straight now. She''s been feeling so weak, dizzy and nauseous. Asanel sighed and then walked back into the room. She took her phone and then read thest text Jason sent her. Yeah, Jason flew to the states a week ago. A few days after her dad was buried. He had asked them to meet up but he refused. She remembered she cried her eyes out that day. She looked at the message and smiled. "Whatever we had was just for a short time but I really enjoyed every minute of it. I truly loved you, Asanel.." Asanel smiled and wiped off the tears that fell off her face. "I love you too, Jason. I love you very much. But I just can''t be with you. Anytime I look at you, I remember my dad''s death.." Asanel mumbled and hugged the phone. "I miss you so much. I miss you.." She said. She smiled when she remembered how they first met. FLASHBACK "Good morning ss, a new student is in our midst and her name is Asanel, let''s wee her.." The teacher introduced her. Asanel smiled and then bowed her head gently. "Hello everyone, I''m Asanel and I hope we get along well " Asanel said with a bright smile and everyone apuded her. Asanel looked up and her eyes met with a young handsome guy who was staring at her with a cold look on his face. She scoffed. "Your seat is beside Jason''s.." The teacher said with a smile. "She''s not going to be sitting with me! I don''t seat with anyone!" Jason''s voice came. "But.." Asanel rolled her eyes immediately. "Don''t worry ma''am.." Asanel said and walked towards him. She red at him before pulling the empty chair beside him and she dropped her bag there. "I''m sitting here.." She told him and his eyes widened in surprise. The ss gasped and everyone started murmuring amongst themselves. "She''s really crazy.." "For the first time, someone stood against Jason.." "Does she have no idea on who he is?" "What do you think you are doing?" Jason grunted in a low voice and Asanel shrugged. She faced him with a smile. "Sitting.." She replied. FLASHBACK ENDS. Asanel smiled. They had always been fighting but then a day came, when they were alone in the computerb. They spoke to each other for the first time without arguing and from that day, she became his only friend. "I really miss him.." She muttered again and smiled again. "Snap out of it Asanel! He''s gone.." She told herself and then sighed. She took her phone and then dalied her mum''s number but it went to straight to voicemail. This was the fifth time now. After her dad''s death, Matilda changed. All that she wanted to do was avenge her husband''s death. Sometimes, she rarelyes home. But when she does, she does all she could for her daughter. Asanel sighed and then walked to the living room. She was really tired. Then she fell to the couch, picked up the remote and turned the tv on. Asanel sat up immediately when she saw the headline. "REPORTER MATILDA ANDERSON UNDER THE ROCKS AS SHE IS CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT OF THE FUNDS OF THE NATIONAL REPORTING OFFICE" Asanel''s eyes widened immediately she saw that. "No, that''s not true. I don''t believe that. I don''t!" She yelled at no one in particr. She picked up her phone and dalied her mum''s number again but it went straight to voicemail. "Mum, where are you?" She asked no one in particr. "Anel." The familiar voice called out to her and she turned back immediately. "Mum!" She called immediately she recognised the voice. Matilda stood a few inches away from her, her hair was scattered all over her face and her face was bruised. "Mum, what happened to you?" Asanel ran to her immediately and Matilda hugged her. "Ba by, you shouldn''t worry. Everything will be fine.." Maltida said and pulled away from the hug. "Mum, what was that about? The embezzlement case, I know it''s a lie. I know that they are behind it. The governor and his wife.." Asanel said in tears and Matilda smiled. "Baby, forget about it, hmmm.. " "But mum.." Asanel''s statement was interrupted when she fainted in her mum''s arms. "Anel! Anel!" Matilda yelled in panic. ** Few minutester. Asanel groaned and opened her eyes. Her eyes scanned the unfamiliar surroundings and she sat up. It was then it dawned on her that she was in the hospital. "Mum.." She called and looked over to her side. Her mum was just staring at her with a nk expression. "Mum, what happened?" She asked curiously. "You are pregnant, Anel.." Matilda dropped the bombshell and Asanel''s eyes widened. "What? No, I''m not. I can''t be.." She immediately protested. "That''s not the issue here, you are pregnant Anel. Who''s thr father?" Matilda snapped at her and tears fell from Asanel''s eyes when she remembered that day. "Mum.." She sobbed. "I asked who''s the father?!" Matilda yelled. "It''s Jason.." Asanel''s said and Matilda''s eyes widened. "Jason.." She called. "Which Jason? What Jason are you talking about?" Matilda asked calmly. "It''s Jason Madison..." Immediately Matilda pped her hard and Asanel busted into tears. "How could you? How could you get pregnant for our enemy''s son. Why did you do it Anel? Didn''t I train you well? Where did I go wrong Asanel Anderson?!" Matilda yelled in anger. "Mum, it was a mistake. I regretted everything but it was toote. The deed had already been done. I was really disappointed in myself mum. I''m still sixteen and I did this. I''m sorry.." Asanel cried bitterly. "Jason left for the states right?" Matilda asked and Asanel nodded. "That bastard.." She muttered. "Mum, I''m sorry.." Asanel cried and Matilda sighed. "It''s my fault also. I''ve not been the best mum, I neglected you for my work and I''m sorry for that. As you said, the deed has already been done. Let''s forget about that now. Let''s raise your baby together.hmn.." Matilda said and Asanel smiled tearfully. "Thank you so much mum. I love you.." Asanel said and hugged her while Matilda caressee her hair. "I love you too.." She smiled and they broke the hug. "We will leave the city first thing tomorrow.

Asanel said and Matilda smiled. "I love you too princess . Very much, I''ll protect you. What I couldn''t do for your dad.." Matilda said. "Thank you mum.." Asanel smiled. "Come on, let''s sleep. It''s not good for you to sleepte.."Matilda said and they both chuckled and then lay to sleep. ** Meanwhile as the mother and daughter were sleeping. They had no idea what was happening outside. A man dressed in ck stood outside the gate. He smirked and then climbed the fence. "Who''s there?" He heard a guard ask but before the guard could turn back. He hit him at the back of his neck and he then fell unconscious. When he was sure the coast was clear, he looked around and then began his work. He brought out two kegs of diesel and then poured it around the house. Then he took a match stick and then lit it, then he dropped it on the ground and it instantly caught mes immediately. He smirked and then climbed the fence down, then he walked away to his car. When he got to his car. He took his phone and then called the number. The person picked up almost Immediately. "Madam Lauren, it''s done..." He smirked. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Tears of vengeance Lauren smirked and brought down the phone from her ear. "Now, it''s finally over. We''ve finally cleared off the Anderson''s family and that bastard in her womb.." She thought andughed out. "I already have a hard time tolerating the father of that child, what more the child?" She said and smiled more widely. "All thanks to the special spy I sent to spy on them. If not for him, I wouldn''t have known that stupid girl is pregnant. I''m d I got rid of the mother and baby. Now all the next thing is to make sure all the wealth of the Madison''s go to my kids.." She said andughed again. "I''m sure James will be happy to know I got rid of them.." Sheughed mischievously and fell on the bed, stillughing. ** It was a shock to the city that Reporter Matilda and her daughter were dead. They couldn''t save either of them, they only found one dead body in the fire after it had quenched. But however, it was still concluded that they were both dead. The public was made to believe that it was an ident. People couldn''t help but mourn the family who passed away tragically. Jason, on the other hand was back to his old self. Coldhearted and rude. When he heard that Asanel passed away, he mourned her. A Month Later. She groaned and gripped the sheets tightly as memories shed in her head. "Lady red,dy red.." "I think she''s awake now.." A voice called and she walked into the room immediately. "How''s she?" Lady red asked the nurse. "She slowly regaining her consciousness.." The nurse answered. N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "And her baby?" Lady red asked and the nurse sighed. "We still can''t hear the heartbeat.." Lady red nodded and looked at her. She was about to walk away when Asanel snapped her eyes open. She looked around and discovered that the ce was not familiar. Then she tried to seat up but as she did, she felt pains in her waist and shey down back. "Where am I?" She asked and when she felt her face aching. She touched it but discovered it was bandaged. Then she remembered everything that happened. The fire!

"I''m sorry Asanel but your mum didn''t make it. She died even before the house was burnt down. Don''t you remember, a nk that fire fell on her?" Lady red said and Asanel''s eyes widened as the memories began to rush in. FLASHBACK. Maltida woke up and was shocked to see smoke everywhere. "What''s happening?" She thought and looked at her sleeping daughter. Then she yanked the duvet off her body and st ood up. She walked into the living room and was shocked to see that everywhere was on fire. "Asanel! Anel! Wake up!" Matilda yelled and Anel groaned and opened her eyes but she started coughing immediately. "Mum, why''s there anyone everywhere?" Asanel asked and got up from the bed. Matilda ran towards her immediately. "We need to get out of here immediately. Anel, we need to leave. We have to protect your baby at all costs.." Matilda told her and Asanel nodded, frightened. They took a thick nket and wrapped their bodies with it. "Let''s go.." Asanel nodded and started walked away, suddenly a nk of fire fell beside her and she gasped. "Keep moving, Anel.." She heard Matilda''s voice behind her and she turned. "Mum.." She was about to talk but Maltida''s eyes widened when she saw that another nk of fire was about to fall on her.

She yelled out in anger, tears running down her fear and she clenched her fists. "What about my baby?" Asanel asked Lady red who sighed. "We still couldn''t hear your baby''s heartbeat.."

You will regret ruining my family! I will make sure to destroy you! I will destroy all the Madison''s!" She yelled again. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Six SEVEN YEARS LATER. AUSTRALIA. A youngdy was seen running as some men chased after her, her hair swaying as she did. Suddenly she turned and faced them with a smirk. She was wearing a ck singlet and her pencil ck trousers added to the beauty. Her boots were huge and high. She smirked again and then quickly packed her hair into a ponytail giving her that baddass look. "Come to me.." She winked and pointed at index finger at them. They were there in number and they charged towards her at a time. She grabbed one and twisted his hand immediately, then she punched the other one and he fell to the ground immediately groaning in pain. She kicked the first one in his balls and he also fell to the ground, squirting in pain. As she was about to turn, someone grabbed her neck from behind and pointed a knife at it. She smirked and immediately she used her elbow to hit him in the stomach. He released her from his grip and she face him and kicked him hard in the stomach. He stumbled and fell hard to the ground. "Freeze!" She heard a male voice said and his handsome face came into view, pointing a gun at her. She smirked and then raised her hands up. He smiled immediately she did so. "Now you are at my mercy.." He said and looked sideways. "Fine.." She muttered and heughed. But all of a sudden, she immediately dipped her hand into her pants pocket and then pointed it at him, smirking. "Fine, fine, you win. You win.." The guy dropped the gun and walked towards her and she immediately gave him a punch on his stomach. "Don''t try this again, Dam.." She rolled her eyes. "Fine, Elle. I won''t try it again..'' He winked at her and hung his arm around her shoulder but she pped it off immediately. "Wow! Danielle, I''m impressed. You''ve always impressed me.." Another feminine voice came and Elle smiled. Elle was the short form for Danielle. "I''m d to, Mamita.." Elle said and Lady red pulled her into a hug. That was what she always called Lady red, "Mamita". "That''s the spirit. Danielle, you must carry this spirit on if you want to finish this revenge. And also protect your identity.." Lady Red whispered to her and she nodded with clenched fists, then she broke the hug. "Elle, your visa and all your documents are ready. You can fly to New Zend anyday you want.." Damien said and Elle nodded. "I''m going to follow you there. You need me to protect you there and your identity is the most important as you are using Lady red''s daughter identity..." "I know that, you don''t have to remind me.." Elle said. "So are you ready?" Damien asked and she gave out a dangerous smirk. "Not me. The Madison''s should be ready for myeback cause I''m the new face of vengeance. I''ll give them a bittersweet revenge that they will beg for death but death will not find them.." ** Elle walked into her room, into the bathroom right away. She opened the tap and then sshed water on her face. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists as the memories rushed in. Well, she is now known as Danielle Brown, daughter of Laura Brown, a popr model and also CEO of differentpanies. She had to change her face, her identity, everything about her. Since her face was badly damaged, Lady red decided to give herte daughter''s identity. She never even announced to the world that her daughter Danielle was dead. She bore the pain alone but Lady red also has the same enemy - the Madison''s. Truth was that she had two daughter''s L and Danielle brown. L was the social type but Danielle was different. Most people knew L but not Danielle but L never knew that her lifestyle would cost her life, she got to a party and from there she was abducted and when they found her. She was dead. After carrying an autopsy test on her, it was revealed that she was raped to death. Lady red vowed to get whomever did that to her daughter and in the process of investigating, she found out that the Madison''s kidnaps girls and uses them for prostitution. But then all of a sudden, Danielle fell sick. She was diagnosed with brain tumour and shd died not long after. She mourned her death and performed herst rites without revealing to anyone. She only told them that Danielle went to school overseas. Danielle stopped the tap and stared at her reflection. "This is the beginning of a big war.." ** New Zend. Wellington. "Jason, Jason, wait for me!" Ady in heels called as she ran after him. Her heels were making this noisy sound as she ran. Why he was angry all of a sudden, she couldn''t understand why. Everything had been going until .." Jason tugged at his necktie, angrily. He checked his wristwatch and pressed the button on the elevator. He just knew! He knew everything. His dad was going to use the party ad an excuse to lure him here and announce stupid things that never happened. And to think, he even invited Giselle to show off. "Gosh!" Giselle caught up with him and held unto his hand. Jason''s eyes ze as she did that, he turned to her and then threw her hand off. Giselle''s heart skipped when she saw his handsome face. She had only been chanced to see his face during his 18th birthday in the states even though she''s his fiancee. "Will you stop staring and talk?" His cold voice interrupted her thoughts. "I''m really sorry, I didn''t know they would announce our engagement at the party.." Jason scoffed immediately. "Engagement?" He asked. "We never had one. I was never engaged to you. My Dad was engaged to you, not me. I never knew about the engagement..." Jason said. "But.." "Snap out of your dreams, miss. I will never get married to you.." And with that, Jason turned to leave. "Is it because of her?" She asked and Jason paused. "Ba(Jason''s little sis) told me about her. She was your first love and..." Jason turned to her immediately. "That shouldn''t concern you!" He added coldly and walked into the elevator. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Giselle bit her lower lip and struggled to hold back her tears. ** MADISON''S MANSION. The car halted and the driver looked at Jason who was on his phone. "Sir, we are here.." He said and Jason looked up. He sighed and then came back from the car. His eyes scanned thepound and he nodded in admiration. The house was looking more beautiful than ever. He dipped his hands into his trouser pockets and walked in elegantly, as he always does. As soon as he got to the living room, he met Tyson( his younger brother) with ady kissing. Jason scoffed. He never changed. He decided to mind his business and ignore him but Tyson saw him anyway, he broke the kiss and faced him. "Oh bro, you''re home.." He stood up and walked towards him with a smile, then he hugged him. Jason scoffed again and pulled him away. "I didn''t expect you''ll look so pleased about my return.." "I am bro. The house will be so much fun with us.." Tyson winked and Jason just sighed. "Is Ba home?" Jason asked. "Nah, she just focuses on beauty parlour everyday.." Tyson said. Jason nodded and walked upstairs. He got to his father''s study and then he knocked. "Come in.." Jason wasted no time, he opened the door and walked in. He bowed slightly. "Good evening dad.." James turned and faced him with a light smile. "You are back from the party so soon. Didn''t it go well?" James asked. "I know what games you are ying dad and I''m never going to fall in your trap. I''m never getting married to Giselle. It''s best you call off that stupid engagement and wedding you told them to announce!" Jason''s voice was slightly raised. James smirked and stood up with an aid stick. "You''ve changed so much, Jason.." James said. "And this, what I''m doing is for your good. You are going to inherit.. " "I don''t need your inheritance dad. I''ve made a name for myself in the business industry and also in the economy. Everything I own is because of my hardwork and I have no ns of inheriting your possessions, dad.." Jason said. "I''ll take my leave bow.." He said and then turned to leave. "Is it because of that girl? It''s been years, Jason and she died. It''s high time you let Giselle rece her!" James said and Jason''s eyes grew red in anger. He turned to face James immediately. "Father!" He yelled angrily. "Don''t bring her into this! Not Asanel!" He yelled again. "And to heck with that arranged marriage of yours. I will never do what you want. I''m never getting married to Giselle.." He added calmly and walked out. James chuckled and sat on the chair. "He''s pretty stubborn but I''m sure he will go back on his words soon. I''ll make sure of that.." Wellington International Airport. Elle smiled as she walked out of the airport, two guards behind her with her luggage. Her phone rang and she smiled when she saw it was Damien calling. She answered the call immediately. "Are you there already?" She asked. "Yeah, it''s so nice to go back to the ce I was born.." Elle said and then removed her sunsses. "I''ll be with you by tomorrow. I have to take care of things here. You know who?" Damien said and she chuckled. "Okay, I''ll call youter.." She said and hung up. She looked around and then smiled. "Hello, Wellington, I''m back!" Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Mission one! The car halted and Elle opened the door. She came down from the car and smiled looking around. The mansion was huge and beautiful like she wanted. "Wee ma''am.." The guards greeted. She nodded with a smile and walked in. Few minutester. She was in her room. The pictures of the Madisons were lying on the bed. She smirked and looked at them and her eyes goes to that of Jason''s. Elle then remembered her conversation with Damien. "You are going to be meeting him again. Can you handle it?" Damien asked and Elle scoffed. "Like I can''t. Lady red taught me that in this game of revenge, you must never fall in love. Love''s going to be an hindrance.." Elle said and stood up. "Whatever Jason and I had was in the past. We were even both young then. It was nothing. I know Jason''s innocent and different from them, so I''ll just leave him be but if he darese between me and my ns, I''ll have to finish him up" Elle said with an expressionless look. Elle took her eyes away from Jason''s pictures and she clenched her fists. "So who should I start with now?" She smiled deviously and her eyesnds on Tyson''s picture. She smirks and picks it up. "I think I''m going to start with the womaniser. It''s going to be fun.." She said. ** Royal city club. Ellees down from the car and smiled. Yeah, she made sure she knew everything about the Madison''s. Their lifestyle, practically everything about them. And the fact that Tyson loves clubbing. Wouldn''t a womaniser love it? Elle walked into the club and looks around. Then she was ushered upstairs into the VIP room. That''s where Tyson stays and parties all night. Elle walked in and seats on a chair nearby. She orders a drink and looks around. Since the VIP room was not crowded at all, she easily finds him seating not far from her. He was talking andughing with his friends. "Hey, Tyson, look over there. Thedy seated there is hot..." One if his friends said. And Tyson smirks. "I''ve not seen any person beautiful like my sister inw.." "Wait, I think I know her. She''s the famous australian model. She contested for miss world three years ago but came second. But why''s she here?" Another said and Tyson immediately looked at her out of curiosity. His jaws dropped upon seeing her. She was really beautiful. Elle smiled when she saw that he was already falling for her charms. Elle winked at him and bit her lower lip seductively. Tyson couldn''t hold himself any longer. He stood up and walked up to her, his friends were not surprised. They onlyughed. "Hi.." He smiled when he got to her. Elle nodded and smiled at him. "Hello handsome.." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Can I sit?" He asked and she nodded. "Of course.." "I was wondering why a prettydy is sitting alone? Didn''t you bring your boyfriend or anyone?" Tyson asks and Elleughed. "Boyfriend?!" "I don''t have one.." "What? I''m really surprised that such a beautifuldy like this is single.." Tyson said. "Yeah, I''ve not found the right one yet and who knows I''ll find him here.." Elle shrugged and took a sip of the drink. "I heard you are not from here. You are from Australia and you were doing pretty good over there, I''m just surprised you left there?" "Hm, I was born here, so it''s not bad visiting my birth home. I just came to oversee how mypanies are doing.." Elle said and touched his cheek. "But I mustmend you, you are really handsome..'' Elle changed the topic and that was enough to throw Tyson off the edge. "By the way, what''s your name?" She said with a smile. "Tyson. Tyson Madison.." Tyson said and Elle smiled again. "You have a beautiful name.." Elle added. "And yours?" "Danielle, but Elle for short.." Elle smiled. "You also have a beautiful name.." He smiled and took her right hand caressing it gently. "You are beautiful too. It''s nice meeting you.." Tyson said and Elle withdraws her hand from his. "I''m sorry but I need to go now. I still have to rest. I have a presentation early next morning.." Elle smiled and stood up. "But can I have your contact? I would love to see you again.." "Of course.." Elle said and gave him her contact. "Bye, handsome.." She smiles and pecked him before walking away. "Woah! Bro, you hit the jackpot!" His friends cooed behind him and Tyson smiles, caressing the cheek she pecked him on. ** Elle walks out, her look was reced with a cold, angry one and she opened her bag and took out an handkerchief and then wiped her lips immediately. "Eww, I hate that I had to kiss that thing.." She said. "This is just the beginning. I''ll inflirate your lives that you will have no idea a storm ising your way.." Elle said and clenched her fists. Her phone rang and she looks at it and sighed. She answers the call immediately. "Yes, Dam.." "How are you?" "I''m pissed Dam. I just met that spoilt brat.." "Yeah, I can see your face at the moment.." Heughed and she furrowed her brows. "What?!" She said and turned back lookimb around. She sighed when she saw him standing not too far from her. "Damien..." She groaned and heughed. He walked to her and pulled her into a hug. "I missed your cranky self already.." He said and she hit him lightly and then disengaged from the hug. "Why are you here?" She asked. Lady red told me toe assist you. She said she would take care of her..." Damien added and Elle nodded. "Tomorrow is the mastern. I''m going to make my grandeback into their loves.." She said with a smirk and Damien nodded. ** The next day. Elle came down from the car and she stared at the building. MADISON''S GROUP OF COMPANIES. She smirked and removed her sunsses. Then she walked in elegantly. As soon as she got in, murmuring started. "Wow! Isn''t she the popr model?" "Why''s she here?" "She''s really pretty in person.." ** Soon she was in the conference room waiting for James. The door sprang open and James walked in with his aid stick. "Miss Brown, you are wee.." James smiled and she clenched her fists angrily but she managed to comport herself. She shed a smile at him. "Nice to meet you, Mr Madison.." She stretched out her hand for a handshake. "Oh yeah.." James said and recieved it. Then they both sat down. "I was shocked when I received the news that you are interested in investing in thepany.." Elle smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I actually came to New Zend to manage mypanies. The ones in Australia are doing pretty great and I want a good partner to invest in.." Elle said. "I trust that yourpany will be okay, right?" Elle added. "Of course, miss Brown.." "But it would have a great pleasure that you work with my eldest son. Too bad he has his own company.." "Oh!" Elle said. "I think we should get this done as fast as we can. So we can sign the contract.." "Of course, miss brown. I''ll ask mywyer to prepare the contract and I''ll send it to you for review.." James said. "Thanks for your time.." Elle said standing up and James smiled. "It''s a pleasure to work with you.." James added and Elle smiled. "I''ll take my leave now.." Elle smiled again and then walked out. James smiled. He really hit the jackpot with her but however she''s not to be trusted immediately. He picked up his phone and called someone. The person picked up almost immediately. "Boss.." He said. "I want you to find out all you can about Elle Brown.." James said. ** Meanwhile Elle stood outside, not too far from the door listening. "I actually expected it.." She smirked and then walked away. "Let''s see if you can find out anything about me, James.." She added and then walked out. On getting out, her phone rang and she answered the call almost immediately. "Princess.." She smiled. "How are you doing, mummy.." A little girl''s voice was heard. "I''m fine, Kiera and I.. " She couldn''tplete her statement because she bumped into someone and the phone fell from her hand. "Oh Geez!" Elle said and bent to take her phone and the person also bent to help her pick the phone and coincidentally their hands touched. Ellen''s heart skipped beats immediately the hand touched hers and they both looked up at each other. Her breathing almost seized. "Jason.." On the other hand, the girl''s voice was heard again. "Mummy.." Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Egocentric Prince "Mummy.." The voice came again and Elle snapped at her reverie. She immediately picked up the phone and hung up the call. Elle sighed and faced him. He was also staring at her in an odd way. Elle almost smiled, he was looking more handsome and he had that cold look on his face. Elle decided to break the silence. "You bumped into me first, shouldn''t you be saying sorry?" Elle asked with an expressionless look. "And you should be always careful when walking, watch where you are going, Miss" Jason stated coldly and walked out. Elle scoffed immediately. "What the hell!" She turned to him immediately. "You really think you are special, huh. Egocentric prince. Your looks are just deceiving you.." Elle yelled at him immediately and turned to leave but suddenly she felt someone grab her forearm and she gasped. It was Jason. He was ring at her. "You should never call me that again, Miss.." He added and then took her palm and then ced something inside it. He looked at her onest time and he walked away. Elle scoffed. She didn''t even bother to check what he ced in her palm. "Whatever! I have the right to call what I want. Egocentric prince.." She said again and Jason paused. He closed his eyes but then he decided to ignore her. He opened his eyes and walked away. His assistant immediately ran to him. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "Who''s she, Jacob?" He suddenly asked and Jacob paused. "S..sir.." "I want to know who she is and why the hell she called an egocentric prince?!" He snapped at Jacob. "I .." "Boss, I think she''s the CEO of LYELLE''S CORP!" Jacob said and he paused. He scoffed and resumed walking. "Find out everything about her.." Jason stated and walked away while Jacob stood still wondering. "Why does he want me to find out about her? Is he interested in her?" He asked himself. "Bute to think of it, she''s the only one who dared to speak rudely to boss, the only one I know off. Boss must be so pissed right now.." Jacob added and chuckled. **** Elle opened the car''s door and entered it. What he actually ced in her hands was her car keys, maybe it fell when her phone fell also. Elle sighed and closed her eyes when she remembered our their hands touched. "Gosh! Snap out of it!" She scolded herself and turned on the ignition of her car. Her phone rang again and she smiled when she saw who was calling. She answered the call immediately and started driving off. "Princess.." "I''m angry with you, mum. You hung up on me.." Elle sighed. "I''m sorry Kiera, something just came up.." "Why? Did you meet someone special?" Kiera asked and Elle smiled. "You are really a nut case princess.." Elle said. "I miss you mum. When are youing back?" Kiera asked. "I''ll be home soon, sweetheart and I missed you very much.." Elle smiled. "Hope you are not giving Mamita problems?" Elle asked. "She is. You know our your daughter is Elle, sometimes she doesn''t want to take her pills.." Lady red''s voice was heard. "Oh! Really! Granny.." Keira''s voice was full of disbelief and Elle chuckled. "And how about I tell mum that you ve been eating excess cakes and sweets.." Kiera said and Elle laughed. She imagined how Kiera must be smirking at her gra ndmother now. "Elle, pleasee back home soon and save me from your troublesome daughter, it''s just a day and yet.." "I''m sorry, Mamita. You just have to bear with Kiera.." "Kiera, you must take your pills regrly. What if you have another attack again?" Elle scolded. "I have my inhaler here.." Kieraughed and Elle shook her head. "That''s not enough. You have to be always careful, sweetheart.." "Yes mum.." "Mamita, you should also stop taking sweets. You know it''s not good for your health.." "Fine, baby. I''ll do that. Just take care okay.." Lady red said. "I love you.." "We love you too.." Both Kiera and Lady red chorused. "Don''t forget to greet my hero for me. Tell him I love him also. Bye mum.." Kiera said and hung up the call. FLASHBACK. SEVEN YEARS AGO. Asanel sat on the chair staring into space, her hands were caressing her stomach. Her baby''s heartbeat was still not heard but she strongly believes that her baby is alive. Lady red walks towards her. "Asanel.." She called and she looked at her. "Do you want to go for a scan? We can figure out if your baby is still in there or not.." Lady red said. "I know, my baby is not gone. I really believe it but yes, I want to go for a checkup..." Asanel said with a smile. Few hourster. "So we did a scan and we found out that your baby is still there. We also heard its heartbeat today, though it''s not that strong.. " "Since you went through a lot of stress, your baby''s in danger.." The doctor said and tears fell off her eyes. "But my baby can still survive it, right?" Asanel asked. "Yes, we will help you.." the doctor said and she smiled. FLASHBACK ENDS. Elle smiled but then her smiles faded when she remembered Jason. FLASHBACK. "Mummy, when are you going to be back?" Kiera pouted and Elle kissed her hair. "I''ll be back pretty soon. I''m just going to stay there for a few months ande back to you.." Elle said and Kiera smiled. "I love you mum.." "I love my princess too.." Elle said and kissed her forehead. "I need to get something from my room, I''ll be right back, mummy.." Kiera said and ran out. Lady red sighed and looked at Elle. "Elle, now that you are going back. You are going to face Jason again. Will you tell him about his daughter?" "His Daughter? She''s my daughter, not anybody else. Mamita, I''m just going there to take my revenge and when I''m done, I''ming back to stay with my daughter. Jason doesn''t need to be part of us!" Elle said adamantly. "But one day, Kiera will ask for her dad. What would you say about that and from what you told me, if Jason was aware that you got pregnant. He would take responsibility. Elle, you can deprive him of his child. She''s his blood.." Lady red said and Elle stood up angrily. "Mamita, please. You were the one who taught me this "Love is always a weakness to the rule of vengeance..". I''m doing that now. Please Mamita, don''t pester me anymore.." Elle said. Lady red sighed and nodded then she hugged her. "It''s fine. I won''t bother you about that.." FLASHBACK ENDS. Elle sighed. "I''m sorry Jason. But I''ll never tell you about your child. It''s best you don''t know.." Elle said and continue driving. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Giselle vs Danielle Jason sat in his office, his eyes glued to theptop. Then thedy earlier came to his mind and he stopped typing. "Egocentric prince?" He scoffed. "How dare she call me that?" He mumbled and then took out his phone. He called up Jacob immediately. "Jacob, in my office, right now.." He said and then hung up. Jason stood up and undid his tie. The door opened. Jason turned but to his surprise, it was Giselle not Jacob. "Hi.." She smiled revealing her dimples and Jason sighed. "What are you doing here, Giselle?" He asked and took his eyes to his phone. "I just finished shooting so I decided to see you.." Giselle said and bit her lower lip. "You shouldn''t be here, Giselle. Leave.." Jason said and took his eyes to her. "Just go.." He added and walked to his seat. Giselle sighed again and looked up with a teary face. "Just what have I done to deserve this? Despite the fact that we are engaged, you don''t talk to me. You just push me away. What does she have that I don''t have? I''m beautiful, I''m smart, I''m rich.." Jason sighed and rested his head backwards. "Giselle.." He called and she looked at him. "Do you know what she has and you don''t?" He said calmly, looking at her. "She''s not a pest but you are. Quit following me around.." Jason said and Giselle stormed out of his office angrily. Jason picked up the telephone and called his secretary immediately. "Yes boss.." She said, "The next time you let Giselle in, I''ll make sure that''s thest day you step your foot in this office.." He hung up immediately. Jacob opened the door and walked in. "Cut out 10% from your sry.." Jason said coldly and looked at him. Jacob immediately fell to his knees. "I''m sorry boss, I''m really sorry. I didn''t mean toete. Something just came up! Please have mercy boss.." Jacob pleaded in tears. "You know the word "mercy" doesn''t work well with me. Do as ordered.." Jason said and stood up. He picked up his suit and wore it. "When''s the meeting with the board?" Jason asked and Jacon stood up and wiped off his tears. "Tomorrow, sir.." Jason turned to him. "Did you find out what I asked you to do?" "Yes, boss.." Jacob said and immediately brought out his tablet. "Her name is Danielle Brown. She''s the daughter of Laura Brown, a well known business tycoon but now she''s retired and her daughter took over all she owned. Danielle Brown is also a model, she contested for miss universe but came second.." Jason''s lips twitched immediately he heard that. "And sir, she''s really pretty. You can check out her pics.." Jacob said and stretched out the tablet to him. Jason turned to him and gave him a re and he immediately withdrew his hand. "I''m sorry boss. I thought you are interested in her, so I.. " "Interested in her?" Jason asked bemused. He smirked and rubbed his lower lip with his right thumb. "Actually, I''m thinking of the right way to teach her a lesson for calling me an egocentric prince.." ** Elle walked in and slumped on the couch tiredly. "I''m so tired.." She groaned. "Wee back, Miss Brown.." Damien said behind her and she stood up. He was in an apron and a spoon was in his hand. "Wow! Are you cooking?" Her eyes widened in excitement. "Yeah and I just set the table.." Damien added and she smiled and ran to the table. "How do you know I was hungry?" She asked taking a seat. Damien who was behind her leaned closer to her. Elle faked a smile even though she was not comfortable with their position, then Damien whispered to her. "You can say guardian angel, I guess.." Elle stylish hit him. "Get away from me and let me enjoy my food in peace.." Damien chuckled and took a seat beside her. "You made me my favourite. Rice and shrimp sauce. You''re the best!" She gave a thumbs up an d he smiled. Elle started eating almost immediately. "Elle, i have to tell you something.." "Go ahead.." "Ever since you got to New Zend. There have been so many offers for you as an endorser but of course, who wouldn''t want a stunning beauty like you as the face of theirpany.." Damien said and Elle chuckled. "There''s this hugepany. They want you to be their model and they are willing to give 80% share.." Damien said. "Hmmn, that''s interesting. But I don''t think I need that.." Elle said and took a sip of water. "Come on, just do it and make a name for yourself here also.." Damien said with a smile. "But what about Mamita?" Elle asked. "I told her and she agreed. She said it will make your mission more fun.." Damien said and Elle shrugged. "I''m in.." "Yess! Thank you!" He said excitedly and Elle chuckled. "Tomorrow, we will be going to sign the contract.." "But why the excitement.." "I.." Damien was about to talk when her phone rang. It was an unknown number. She furrowed her brows and then picked up the call. "Hello..." She said, "Hi, Elle, it''s Tyson.." The masculine voice said and Elle dropped her spoon and she smirked. "Oh, hii handsome.." She faked a sweet voice. ''How have you been?" Tyson asked. "I''m fine and you?" "I''m good too.." "Hm, I just called to invite you to my mum''s weing party. She will be back from South Korea after six months. We just decided to have a small weing party for her.." Tyson said. Elle''s smile faded and she rolled her eyes. "Of course baby, I''ll be there.." "And I''m so excited to meet your mum.." She said, "Yeah and she will be surprised to see you. And you know it can give us more time to bond, don''t you think?" He said and Elle rolled her eyes. "Of course, And when I''m bonding with you I''ll get to show my true self to you, hope you won''t get scared.." Elle said with a strict voice. "Of course not, I''m looking forward to seeing you. I''ll send the address to you.." Tyson said. "Yeah, baby. I''ll see you soon.." Elle said and hung up. She threw the phone on the table. ''Irritating fools!" She said and rolled her eyes again.

The car halted and Elle came down from the car. She removed her sunsses and walked in. "Maybe I shouldn''t havee.." She thought as she sat down. Almost immediately a young man in a suit walked up to her. "Good morning ma''am. Your assistant called us and informed us of everything. We just have to assist you with the signing process.." The man said and Elle nodded. "Please, this way, ma''am.." He led the way and Elle stood up and followed him. As they approached a room. They could hear a voice shouting at someone. "What''s this?" "How could add someone else there. I''m the face of MIRALLAS'' and nobody is taking that from me.." The feminine voice yelled. "No one is taking it from you, Giselle. I just added her. She''s also famous like you. Both of you will help with the sess of MIRALLAS''..." Another voice said. "I don''t care and who the hell is she?" Giselle asked. The door opened and Elle and the young guy stepped in. "Sir, she''s here.." he said and the manager looked up. "You are wee, Miss Brown.." He said and Elle smiled. Giselle looked at her and she scoffed angrily. "Giselle, she''s the one I''ve been talking about. As you can see she''s as beautiful as you.." "Oh please, don''t you darepare my beauty to this lowly model. I''m way more superior in beauty." Giselle bragged and Elle smirked. "And this lowly model is already making you feel inferior. I guess you are the lowly one here.." Elle shot back defensively and Giselle looked at her shocked.

Elle shot back defensively and Giselle''s looked at her shocked. "You can''t juste and im what''s mine. This is far from being over yet.." She said and walked out while Elle scoffed. "Please, have your seat..." He said and Elle sat. ** Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Soon, Elle was done with signing the contract. She remembered what happened earlier and shook her head. "Some people can be bitches.." She muttered and as she entered her car. Her phone started ringing. She smirked when she saw it was James calling. She then answered the call. "Hello sir.." Elle said politely. "Miss Brown, we''ve finally the contract and i sent it to you. It will be in your email soon.." James said. "I''ll check it out..'' Elle said. "And Miss Brown, I would love to invite you to the house weing party for my wife..." "Sure I would be there.." She said. "Thank you.." He said and she hung up. "House weing party.." She smiled and then called Damien straight away. He answered the call immediately. "Yes, pretty.." "Dam, can you get CCTV cameras for me. Those tiny ones.." Elle said with a smirk. Night. The house was beautifully decorated and different people were already there, drinking and chatting. Jason parked his car and came down, all eyes fell on him and the girls began giggling and started murmuring to themselves. Giselle came out of the room hand in hand with Lauren, both gisting and laughing. Giselle looked up and when she saw Jason. Her jaws dropped. He was looking extremely handsome in the tuxedo he wore, his hair was gelled up and s ome part fell on his right eye giving him that sexy look. Lauren just scoffed when she saw him but she faked a smile and walked up towards him. "Hi son.." She beamed and hugged him but Jason''s face was still stoic and cold. "I missed you so much son.." Lauren said and cupped his cheeks but Jason slowly brought it down. "I know mum. But please don''t cause drama here.." Jason stated and then nodded before he walked away. Giselle immediately ran after him while Lauren clenched her fists. ** "Wait, wait, Jason.." Giselle called and he sighed and turned to face her. "What do you want?" "Is that a proper way to greet your fiancee?" Giselle returned his question and Jason sighed. He was about to reply but his eyes went somewhere and his jaws dropped. Giselle frowned when she saw that, then she looked at where he was looking and hr eyes widened. It was that samedy she met earlier. "What''s she doing here? Why''s she dressed like that?" Giselle thought. As soon as Elle came out of the car and walked towards them, all eyes turned to her. Her hair was packed into a simple ponytail and she had mild make up on. Her beautiful off shoulder red gown, with a slight made her look more elegant. She smiled gracefully as she walked towards them. Tyson too came out at the moment and then he hurriedly walked up to her and then held her waist. Even Elle was surprised by his gesture but she kept her calm. Meanwhile Jason''s fists were clenched as he looked at them. He just didn''t know why. He felt like walking towards them and punching Tyson for what he just did and without thinking twice, he started approaching them. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Mummy ! As he approached them, Giselle ran after him and held him. "What do you think you are doing?" She asked and that was when he snapped out of his foolish thoughts. "What was I thinking?" He asked himself and then scoffed. His eyes trailed down and he saw Giselle holding his hand. He threw her hand off harshly. "What do you think you are doing?" He questioned harshly and Giselle rolled her eyes. "You can try whatever you want but you won''t be able to get rid of me, not in this party and not in your life either¡­" She raised her hand and touched his chest seductively. "You have to behave nicely with me, because of your mom.." She added and her eyes went to the direction of Lauren who was staring at them both with a smile. Jason chuckled dryly. "Like I care!" He told her and then threw her hand off again and then he walked away. "Gosh, what was I thinking that I almost approached that rudedy?" He thought. ** Elle and Tyson walked towards them, hand in hand. Lauren who was behind was grinning from ear to ear. She was really damn happy that her son had hit the jackpot. He chose a popr and a really beautiful girl as well. Elle walked towards Lauren and smiled. "Hi, I''m Danielle. Elle for short..'' Elle smiled again. "I know your name. Who wouldn''t? After all you''ve achieved.." Lauren said and Elleughed. "Are you my son''s girlfriend?" She asked further and Elle gasped. "Huh?!" "No ,no.." Elle said. Tyson ced his right hand around her waist protectively. "She will be mine soon mum.." He winked and Elle scoffed mentally. "I''m never going to be yours, fool!" She thought. "Right now, I should do what I came to the party for.." She thought again. "You too make a good couple.." Lauren said and she chuckled. "That''s true mum.." Tyson smiled. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. "Excuse me, mom.." "Elle, I''ll be right back.." Tyson excused himself. "Ma''am, where''s your husband?" She asked. "He will be here soon.." Lauren responded. "He''s out already.." Lauren added and Elle smiled. "I''ll just take my seat.." Elle responded and she walked to a seat. A guy was sitting beside her, his head was bent downwards so she didn''t see his face clearly. Elle took her seat and the partymenced. Bute to think of it, she hasn''t seen Jason anywhere since she came. Isn''t he part of the family? She looked around and then she sighed. "What are you doing here? The familiar voice said behind her and she gasped, then turned to face him. He was staring at her with that usual cold look. "Hi.." She smiled at him and he scoffed. "I''m not exchanging pleasantries with you.." He told her bluntly. "I''m asking you why you are here? Are you one of those girls that cling unto rich dudes like Tyson?" Jason asked and Elle scoffed. "Excuse me!" "What do you take me for?" "I don''t need his money or whatsoever. It''s not so bad for one to interested in a guy, is it?" Elle asked and then she grabbed the ss of wine in front of her and took a sip. "Moreover.." Elle turned to face him again. "You don''t expect me to be interested in guys like you right? in boring guys, who always self centred. Nah! I don''t like guys like that.." Elle said with a smirk and Jason scoffed. He moved his face closer to hers and her breath hitched. "I don''t want you to be interested in me either cause, you are way too low for my standard.." Jason said and Elle''s eyes widened. She clenched her fists tightly. She was about to talk when her phone rang. She red at Jason before she stood up, then she excused herself and walked out of the room. Jason just stared at her as she walked off. There was something so familiar about her, and the way she argued with him, reminds him of the only girl that did that with him -Asanel. She was the only one that did with him. Otherdies will fall at his feet and worship him just to please him. They didn''t care about themselves but him. But now, She is doing the same and he couldn''t deny the fact that he hated that and he hated it so badly. He hated that she had the guts to face him and talked to him like she pleases! **** Elle smiled when she saw who was calling. It was her little princess. She walked into the garden and immediately answered the call. "Mummy!" She squealed immediately Elle answered the call. "I missssss you soo very much, mummy. When are youing home?" Kiera asked and Elle sighed. "I''ll be home soon, I miss you too, very much.." Elle replied. "How about Mamita?" Elle asked. "Hmmn..'' Kiera scoffed. ''Mamita''s being stubborn. I told her to take me to you but she refused. I''m really angry at her and I didn''t even take my drugs!" Kiera said stubbornly. "Kiera!" Elle gasped. "You shouldn''t be doing that, it''s dangerous to your health!" Elle scolded her daughter. "Mum, until youe home, I won''t take my medication!" Kiera said stubbornly again and Elle sighed. That''s how stubborn Kiera can be. Whenever she wants something, she always wants to get it by all means, even if it means endangering herself and sometimes, Elle wonders if she actually got the trait from Jason. "Baby, I''ll be back soon.." "When soon, I want to know when, in a week time or two weeks time?" Kiera asked anxiously. "Fine, in two weeks time. I''ll be back.." Elle said. She would probably just go and visit her there. She couldn''t afford bringing her daughter here, she could be endangered in her revenge ns. "Fine, mum. I''ll he expecting. Kiera loves mummy!" "Mummy loves you too.." Elle smiled and thrn hung up the call. "Kiera.." She mumbled and shook her head. "Mummy!" A voice said behind her and Elle froze right on the spot. "You just said mummy, what''s the meaning if that?" The voice asked again and Elle turned back. Her throat immediately ran dry when she saw him. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Unexpected Kiss "You just said mummy, what''s the meaning of that?" The voice asked again and Elle turned back. Her throat immediately ran dry when she saw him. "Tyson.." She called with a smile. Sheported herself and walked towards him. "What was that? I heard you say mummy loves you too?" Tyson questioned. Elle walked to him and then held his shoulder, shing him a seductive smile. "You heard wrong, Tyson. I was talking to my mum and I said, mummy, I love you too. Is it bad to tell my mum that?" Elle said and touched his chin. Tyson sighed and touched his forehead. "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean it.." Tyson said and Elle pecked him. "Let''s go back to the party.." She smiles at him and he nodded. "I''ll lead the way.." Tyson added and Elle walled away. She scrunched her face in disgust and gently wiped her lips with the back of her palm. "I can''te to the party in vain. I have to do something at least. Think Elle, think.." She thought and then an idea struck at her. She smirked immediately. Then she suddenly gripped her stomach. "I.." "I''m feeling pressed..'' Elle said and folded her lips like she was in difort. "Could you please take me to the restroom?" She asked. "Of course.." Tyson said and he led her to the restroom. "I''ll wait for you.." He told her. "No, no. You can go. I''ll find my way back.." Elle said. "Are you sure?" Tyson asked. "Yes, I''m sure.." Elle said. "Fine, I''ll see you inside.." Tyson said and walked away. When Elle was sure that the coast was clear, she smirked and then made her way back. She would try to nt the CCTV cameras now. Her eyes scanned every where as she walked. She took another exit and came into a big passage. Then she saw their rooms were located there. But one thing is for that, there are also some hidden cameras nted by the governor himself so she had to ve careful. Now is the perfect time she needs Damien. She looked around and then she brought out her phone and then dailed Damien''s number. He answered the call almost immediately. "Dam, it''s time.." She said and then hung up. She continued walking, looking around like she''s lost. She stepped when she got to ce which looked like a huge office and then she heard James''s voice. "Connor, make sure the drugs are delivered properly.." Elle furrowed her brows. "It''s taking ce tonight, don''t fail me.." "What do you mean by you don''t where it''s taking ce?" "It''s at 42, Sarah streets. The outskirts of the town. You should get there by 12am and don''t forget to collect my money immediately.." James was still talking when Elle lost her grip on her bag and it fell down causing a thud. Elle gasped and she immediately took her bag and ran to a corner. Just then, the lights went off and the sound of the door opening as heard. Elle smiled. "Thank you Damien.." She muttered. James sighed and then turned in his phone torch. "I thought someone was here.." He said and then the lights turned on back. James shrugged and then walked back in. Immediately he went back in. Elle walked out of there, slowly and she bumped into somebody. She looked up and sighed when she saw that it was Giselle. "What are you doing here?" Giselle asked her bluntly, ring at her. "It''s none of your business.." Elle rolled her eyes and then turned to walk away. "I get the fact that you are with Tyson but then, why Jason?" Giselle asked and Elle turned to face her with a smirk. "I don''t understand¡­" She said with a light smile. "All you need to do is stay away from him. Stay away from my fiancee and also don''t you dare try to ruin my modelling career. I won''t ever take it lightly with you!" Giselle warned her and Elle chuckled dryly. "All these for me. Are you that scared of me?!" Elle asked and Giselle scoffed. "Of course not, I''m not and I never will be. I''m just passing a clear warning to you as you won''t like what i would do when i get serious.." Giselle warned and Elle chuckled again. "I''m so scared. I''m expecting what you are going to do, sweetie!" Elle said and then walked away while Giselle clenched her fists angrily. *** Elle walked back into the party and sat down on her seat. Her mind was processing the information she just heard. Even if she could not install the CCTV cameras but then she found one useful thing to start with first. "I''ll make sure I''ll ruin this for you. I''ll ruin your life, James Madison.." "It''s time for the couple dance. Can our couplese out with their partners and rock the stage!" The mc announced and Tyson walked towards her. He stretched his hand to her. "May I have this dance?" He asked sweetly with a smile on his face. Elle nodded and then took his hand. The soft music started ying and Tyson ced his hand on her waist, while she ced his hand on his shoulder as they swayed their bodies slowly to the music. But during the dance, all that was on Elle''s mind was her master n! She just had ti make it happen.."This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Just then, her eyes went to Giselle and she was dancing with Jason, smiling and giggling while Jason kept his normal straight face. Elle''s hands tightened around Tyson''s neck as she watched them. Giselle wouldn''t stop giggling and trying to flirt with Jason and that was annoying her the most. Jason turned her around and she fell into his arms. "You should stop giggling unnecessary. I''m not dancing with you willingly. You should have a sense of pride.." Jason told her bluntly and her eyes dropped. "Now it''s time to switch partners.." The Mc announced again but Tyson held unto Elle. "Hey.." She chuckled. "Let''s switch.." She said and Tyson sighed. Jason was already getting fed up of this nonsense but he had to do it! At least just for now. Both Tyson and Jason exchanged their partners. The air was awkward between Elle and Jason. Jason held her by the waist and drew her closer to him. "W..what are you doing?" Elle asked. "Nothing wrong.." Jason answered, his eyes glued to her face. Jason grabbed her by her waist again and drew her more closer to him. Elle gasped immediately with the way their faces were close. Their breaths were fanning each other''s face. "Nothing I do can ever make you like guys me. Guys like me are in and boring.." Jason whispered to her and Elle closed her eyes, she tightened her grip on Jason''s shoulder. She forgot. She forgot that Jason was a guy with huge ego and pride, one like him hates his ego been bruised and he''s trying to prove her wrong by doing this. Seducing her intentionally. Both Giselle and Tyson, red at them angrily. "I can''t watch this any longer.." Giselle thought and then she thought of ways to separate the two. She smirked when an idea came to her head. Her eyes went to them again and she smirked yet again. Then she intentionally ced her leg when she noticed they were both near them. Elle''s leg hit hers and she immediately lost bnce. Her eyes widened and she grabbed Jason''s suit for support but then they both went down. They fell upon each other and their lips joined immediately. Giselle''s eyes widened. That''s not what she wanted to happen. She wanted Elle to fall and disgrace herself and not this. Everyone''s attention turned to them but both of them were still, still frozen in shock to what had happened. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Atttracted to her! Jason''s eyes dted in shock. He froze and stood still for a second but when his senses returned. He stood up immediately and then walked out. Elle also stood up, she grabbed her bag and walked up to Tyson. "I think I have to leave.." She smiled and before he could say anything to stop her, she walked out. Tyson groaned and ran his hands into his hair. "Damn that brother of mine! He''s always ruining things for me!" He grunted lowly. ** Hours Later. Madison''s Mansion. Master''s bedroom. Lauren walked out of the bathroom wiping her wet hair with a dry towel. James was operating on his laptop. "So, how was the party hun? Did you like it?" James gazed at his wife lovingly. "It was really beautiful hun. I loved it.." Lauren replied and sat on the bed, she took her lotion and applied it on her body. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "And when are we going to start the wedding preparations?" Lauren asked. "What?" James asked. "I meant the wedding preparations of Jason and Giselle. It''s about time they had their wedding. They had been engaged since they were both sixteen.." Lauren said. "Your son doesn''t want to get married to her. He''s still in that childish love of his. He''s still in love with Asanel!" James said with a sigh. "Don''t mention her name. I hate hearing it and I just get reminded of her and her useless parents, even her ba.." Lauren stopped immediately she realised what she was about to say. James looked at her, wondering what she was about to say. "Hm, I just meant that, I hate everything about that girl and her family. I''m d we got rid of them. They were like a leech on us" Lauren said and James smiled. ''It''s all thanks to you, hun. I''m d we did so sooner. And about the wedding preparations, I''ll try to convince Jason¡­" "You know your son and how hot headed he is! He will never do what you want and considering the fact that all he got right now, all the riches he has, he worked hard for them and attained them in his own. He wouldn''t listen to you and moreover you and him aren''t on good terms. Let''s try another means of convincing your son.." Lauren said and James nodded. "And that reminds me, what do you think of thatdy? Danielle or Elle?" Lauren asked as she packed her hair into a ponytail. "I think she''s okay. I had her investigated and all is pretty good right now. She will only bring us more money since she''s interested in investing in our business.." James said with a smile. "That''s good. And I think she likes Tyson too¡­" "Hmmn.." James nodded in agreement. "We should be nning another wedding soon and that would be of Tyson and Elle.." Lauren said and they bothughed. "It would be such a jackpot. Tyson would be so lucky.." Lauren said again and they bothughed. ** Jason''s Mansion. Jason sat in front of hisptop, typing furiously but then he stopped and sighed when the kiss scene reyed in his memories again. "Gosh not again.." He told himself and ran his hands into his hair. He stood up and closed hisptop, then he walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. The shower started pouring on him heavily, that''s he wanted anyways. He kept on running his hands into hair as memories shed in his head. "Argh!" He grunted and then turned off the shower. "I hate it!" He muttered and walked out of the shower. His manly abs stuck out in the wet clothes he wore. His wet hair stuck on his face giving him that sexy look. He took out a towel and started drying his body with it. Then he walked out of the room to the parlour. He smiled shortly when he looked around. The house keeper had already done her job. And yes! He had no maids cause he hated thepany ofdies. He just detested it! Well, you couldn''t me him, since mostdies are interested in his looks and riches, none of their love for him was genuine. She was the only one who loved him genuinely but she''s gone already! Jason walked to the bar section in the room. Then he picked up a wine and sscup. He opened it and poured some into the sscup and then took a sip out of it. He closed his eyes and then breathed out in relief. But then he remembered the kiss from earlier and he sighed again. "It was unintentional but why does it feel like I betrayed her? It does feel like I betrayed Asanel!" He muttered and took another sip of the drink. "I must really love Asanel like crazy seeing how it''s hard to move on from her. I''m only stuck with her memories but I still love her! Damn much" He muttered again. "And worse is, this newdy called Elle or whatever her name is, the worst thing is that I''m getting attracted to her and it''s killing me. It''s really eating me up. She even does remind me of Asanel at times and I hate it!" "Then, the reason why I feel I''m betraying Asanel is not actually because of the kiss but because I''m getting attracted to her!" He thought and took another sip of the drink. "Most times, I really wish Asanel coulde back.." He said and his head dropped on the table. "I really miss her so much.." He muttered and closed his eyes. ** Elle''s Mansion. "So, we can go to through that route.." Damien trailed off when he saw that Elle was lost in thoughts. "Elle, Danielle..'' He called and Elle jolted out of her reverie. "Oh! What were you saying?" Elle asked and Damien sighed. "What''s wrong Elle? You''ve been acting weird ever since you came back from the party. I know there''s something wrong. What''s it?" He asked and Elle sighed. "Truth to be told, it''s Jason.." She blurted out and Damien sighed again. "I knew and I thought you said, he is not going to be a distraction to you but he''s already a distraction to you!" Damien told her. "No, no, it''s not that but I think I''m doing something wrong here?" "What?" Damien asked. "Do you think I''m right keeping Kiera away from him? Should I tell of him Kiera''s existence?" Elle asked Damien who stared at her in surprise. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Mission One aplished "Do you think I''m right keeping Kiera away from him? Should I tell him about Kiera''s existence?" Elle asked Damien who stared at her in surprise. "What?!" Damien sprang up on his feet. "What do you mean by that? Are you ready to blow up your cover just for him?" Damien snapped at her. "But.." "No buts.." "Tell me, how do you want to tell him that? Would you walk towards him and then say to him, "Jason, you and I have a daughter together" "Come on, do you want to look stupid in front of him. You can''t do that now or you and Kiera''s life will be in danger. We haven''t even brought the Madison''s to book.." "That''s true, I just.." Elle paused and touched her forehead. "You still love him right?" Damien suddenly asked and she looked up at him. "You still do, right?" He asked again. Elle scoffed and looked away. "No!" "Of course not. I don''t love him. Whatever we had was in the past and that was just some teenage infatuation.." Elle said. "And that produced Kiera.." Damien replied to her and Elle looked at him. "What are you saying Damien?" "Forget about it, and let''s discuss our next moves.." Damien said and Elle sighed. Then they sat down. Elle''s phone suddenly rang and she rolled her eyes when she saw who was calling but she answered the call anyways. "Hello, Mr Madison.." "Isn''t it already toote to call me?" Elle asked. "I''m sorry, I just wanted to inform you toe into the office tomorrow, so we can sign the documents legally..'' He said. "Fine then..'' "I''ll be there tomorrow.." She added. "Goodnight sir.." "And have very sweet dreams.." Elle smirked. "Goodnight to you too.." James said and hung up. ** Few minutester. "It''s almost 12am. We need to hurry up!" Damien said and Elle opened the door, she walked out of it, dressed up for the mission already. Her hair was packed in a ponytail. She wore a ck hoodie and also thick ck pants, her boots were high and huge and allplimented her, giving her that dangerous look. "Are you ready?'' Damien asked. "I''ve always been ready.." She said, "Did you wear the bulletproof vest?" Damien asked again as they msre their way out of the house. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "I did.." Elle replied. "How I wish I could see James look when he heard of this?" Elle smirked and Damienughed. They both entered the car and drove off. **** They got to their destination in an hour and they got down from the car. It was a deserted warehouse. Elle wore her mask then a face cap, she took a pistol and loaded it with bullets. Damien held her. "Are you sure it''s going to be safe?" He asked and Elle nodded. "It''s going to be.." Elle said and checked her wristwatch. "It''s just three minutes past twelve. I''m sure they are still loading the drugs¡­" She looked around and smirked when she saw the big gate and fences around it. She smirked again and walked to the fence. Then she climbed it gently and jumped down. She walked further in. There were no guards there. The sides were filled with bushes so she quickly went and took cover with them. Her view was now clear. There were some Chinese men and another person was showing them the illegal drugs. She brought out her phone and took photos of them. Her leg mistakenly hit a tin as she did that and one of the guards nearby pointed the torch he was holding at her. He gasped immediately when he saw her figure. "There''s an intruder here!" "There''s an intruder here!" He yelled again and Elle smirked and stood up. Immediately the guards surrounded her, including some hefty men in the gang. ''Who are you?!" One of them asked and Elle smirked. "You don''t need to know.." Elle said and another immediately shot her. Elle groaned and fell to the ground. One immediately ran to her to see if she was ready. She suddenly grabbed his legs and made him fall on the ground, then she picked up her gun and shot him immediately. Two immediately charged towards her. Elle sent one flying in the air with a kick and she punched the other one. They both fell to the ground unconscious. As another two were approaching her, she swiftly turned and brought out both her pistols. She shot at them immediately and they fell to the ground, dead. Elle immediately moved backwards and they all followed her. She turned back and kept on running as they shot repeatedly at her but she either ducked it or it missed her. "Where''s Damien?" She grunted. Suddenly the sounds of a police siren were heard and Elle jumped and rolled on the grass. Shey on the ground and began shooting them one after the other. Soon half of them were down. Elle smiled. "Good job, Damien.." She says and the police were surrounded by the police in a few minutes. Elle immediately crawled back into the bushes. She hid and watched how the police handcuffed them and took them away. She ran off and came to the fence again. She climbed on it again and jumped down. As she jumped down, her hoodie cap removed and she smirked. "This is the just the beginning of your downfall, James Madison.." She says and then wore her hoodie cap before marching away. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Like a bomb! Elle walked to where their car was parked nearby and she found Damien waiting for her impatiently. He immediately ran towards her when he saw her. "Where have you been?" He asked and she sighed. "I had to wait and watch everything. I made sure that the police seized the illegal drugs and also arrested those worthless men of his.." She exined and Damien smiled. He pulled her into a hug immediately. "We finally achieved one of our missions and it feels really great to do so. "Congrats, Elle.." He told her and she smiled also and wrapped her hands around him. Governor''s House. Master''s Bedroom. "No, no, no. This can''t be happening!" James yelled and then he scattered things up and down. "Hunny, calm down. It''s not your fault. It''s not your fault that it happened. It just happened that way.." Lauren tried calming her husband down but James was not ready to listen to anyone at the moment. "It''s not my fault but all this. It''s ruined. It''s ruined!" He yelled again. "I just lost 10 billion dors.." James mumbled and fell on the bed. His phone rang and he answered the call, still depressed. "Boss.." A male voice called. "Boss, it''s me Jordan. I escaped.." "Jordam?" "What happened to the drugs and why was mr Chang and Felix arrested? Everything had always been going on well, what happened this time around?" James asked. "We had no idea. Somebody just came. She has good fighting skills, she made sure to kill half of our henchmen and before we knew it, the police arrived and arrested all of them. I just managed to escape.." He exined and James sighed. "Ady came and disrupted the transaction.." He thought. "Jordan, you need to do something for me and it''s really important.." James said. "Get rid of Mr Chang and Mr Felix immediately. They will rat me out if I don''t.." James said. "Consider it done, boss¡­" He said and James hung up with an emotionless look on his face. "I swear, I''ll find you. Who ever you are and why you destroyed my mission, that I don''t care but I''ll find you and put an end to you soon.." He muttered and clenched his fists tightly. ** Lauren walked into Tyson''s room and she found him on his phone. "Don''t tell me you are still chatting with girls at this odd hour?" Lauren asked and Tyson scoffed. "What else do I have to do again?" "I have nothing to do .." He said. "That''s why your father will never see you as something useful. You have to be useful to your dad so you can have a huge chance of inheriting the property.." "But mum, I''m not interested. I''m not interested in running Dad''spany or any of his businesses and I''m also not interested in running for politics.. " Tyson said and Lauren sighed again. "Why do I give birth to useless son like you who can''t even use his head for once?" "Even your sister Bora that just went back to Australia is doing great over there. She''s at least managing spars over there but what do you want to do? I wanna know?" Lauren asked again. "Nothing mum. After all, Dad has worked for us. Even if Jason inherits sixty five percent of Dad'' s properties, Deborah and I will earn the remaining forty five percent. It''s not bad, is it?" Tyson answered with a light smile on his lips but then Lauren knocked him on the head. "Your thinking is so bad. You have a poor mentality. Do you want Jason to get more richer and leave you in the mud. Without your dad''s help, he built an empire for himself. He''s a well known business man and CEO of one of the bestpanies in the world. Hasn''t he achieved enough but what about you? What have you achieved?" "Nothing. No one knows you except those foolish friends that stick around you for your money, by the time your money is gone. They will be long gone.." "But mum.." "And also you like Elle, right?" Lauren asked and Tyson smiled. "Does she like you?" Lauren asked. "Why do you ask that mum?" Tyson replied. "Answer my question, does she like you?" Lauren asked again. Tyson huffed. "I don''t know.." "And how would you know that.." Lauren cut in. "She can never like you because you are too low for her standards. She would rather like someone like Jason, handsome and wealthy. You just have the looks, and the governor''s son title and nothing more.." "You have to be somewhere that she is worthy of. You have to be her man.." Lauren said and there was a glint finally of eagerness in Tyson''s eyes. Lauren smirked. That''s exactly what she wants. "I''m ready mum. I''m ready to do all what you ask me to.." "Good, now first thing tomorrow morning, go to your dad and tell of your interest inpany before he passes it over to Jason. I''m sure he will be so happy.." Lauren smiled and Tyson nodded. She hugged her son happily. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. "I''m d that you are taking my advice son. Just watch I''ll eliminate any enemies on your way to your sess.." Lauren said. "Once you get introduced into thepany and you perform well. I''m sure James will introduce you to his secret business - our secret business. Then your future is secured. I no longer have to get worried about that stupid son of his, inheriting what he has left. Even if I have to get rid of Jason for you, I''ll do so dly, just like the way I got rid of his unborn baby and thedy he loved dearly.." Lauren thought and smirked evily. **** The next day. James came out of his room, dressed already for work today. He smiled when he remembered that an huge event would be taking ce. Elle would be finally investing in theirpany and they are going to be signing the deal. James smiled again when he remembered how many billions of money Elle would bring to his company. "Dad!" A voice called and James turned back. He was surprised to see Tyson dressed in a suit. "Why are you dressed like this, Tyson?" He asked. Tyson moved closer to him and smiled. "I''m ready to work for thepany dad. I know you need my skills. But I was upied with my childish ys, but I gave it a thought and realised that i should really be helping you.." "That''s good." James nodded with a smile. "And dad, I''m ready to take that position you offered to Jason which he refused. I know I can handle them well. You can trust me dad.." Tyson smiled and James sighed as the lines in his forehead deepened. He ced his hand on Tyson''s shoulders. "I''m sorry Tyson but Jason already epted it. We finalised it yesterday. Jason is the new CEO of the company! It came like a bomb to Tyson. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Elle was sho "I''m sorry Tyson but Jason already epted it. We finalised it yesterday. Jason is the new CEO of the company! It came like a bomb to Tyson. "Wh.. what?" Tyson stuttered and clenched his fists. For the very first time, his ego was badly bruised and right now! It dawned on him that he had actually been a fool all the years past. He only loved partying and womanising but never thought of his future. He was extremelyzy but this was a wake up call to him that his brother Jason had been stealing everything from him. His father''s love, the riches. Practically everything and all he wanted to do at that moment was to punch Jason for stealing such a golden opportunity from him. He had always done so, but now, he wouldn''t give room for that anymore. Not at all.." He would fight for his right like his mum had told him, it would be blood fight between both brothers for the throne because he''s never ready to give up soon, not in any way. "It''s fine, Dad.." He smiled. "I''m willing to be his assistant.." Tyson said. "Huh?" "Never. It''s impossible. You will be the second runner of thepany. You are going to fill in for Jason when he''s not around or has urgent meetings in which he can''t attend.." "Fine then, Dad.." Tyson said. *** Elle sat in the car and fixed her hair properly. The car''s door opened and she came out of it with smiles. She was indeed beautiful to behold. She walked in. ** When she got to the board room, she met no one there apart from someone sitting on a swivel chair, he was backing her so she couldn''t see his face. "Hello.." She greeted and he turned to face her. Elle''s jaws dropped when she saw him. He was looking more handsome. "Does he get handsome daily?" She asked herself. "What are you staring at? Sit.." Jason''s cold voice interrupted her thoughts. "Fine.." Elle said and took another seat beside him. "First of all, why are you here? As far as I know you are not rted to thepany in any way.." Elle said with a light smile and Jason scoffed. "First of all, your sly smile does not fool me and to answer your question, this is still my dad''spany and I have the right to be here, rude psycho.." Jason said and Elle''s eyes widened. "Did you just call me a rude psycho?" Elle scoffed and Jason smirked. "That''s a beautifully endowed name given to you by name. You should be happy now. I rarely give presents to anyone.." Jason told her and then opened the bottle of water, then he took a sip from it. "I don''t your endowed name, Foolish maniac ." Elle also said and Jason scoffed again. "I don''t ept such nicknames from people, especially people like you!" Jason red at her and she returned the re. "Well, as far as I''m concerned, I have the ribr to say anything I want and I want to call you by this sweet name "Foolish maniac.." Elle smirked and Jason clenched his fists. He was losing to her. He was losing to her again but he shouldn''t lose to her, he could only lose to someone and that''s his first love. Anytime they argue, he always loses to her. "I won''t appreciate you calling me that, Psycho.." "And you should stop calling me that, Maniac.." Jason chuckled dryly. "I hate arguing withdies like you, so full of themselves.." "And me also. I dislike wasting my time on egocentric princes like you. You always have an ego to keep.." Elle spat out. "I¡­" "You should stop arguing with me. Cause you are going to lose, Michael.." The words fell from her mouth freely and she gasped when she realised what she had said. Even Jason''s eyes were glued on her. "Michael". It was the name histe mum gave to him. She always called him Michael even if his dad and the others call him "Jason". His mum never called him that till she died. And no one except his dad knew of that name, he only told one person that was close to his heart then. Asanel. It was not even in his biography so howe thisdy knew it. "What did you just say?" Jason Adler and Elle gulped hard. She knew she was in for trouble. She folded her lips and cracked her brain thinking of what to say. What excuse she could quickly make up! "I.. I meant.." Gosh! How would she exin herself now? "Did you just call me Michael? How do you know that cause I never told anyone about it. Are you stalking me?" Jason rushed his questions and Elle sighed. "I''m in a deep mess. Who would save me now?" She thought. "I should just stop meeting Jason or my cover will ge blown up!" She thought again. "I''m asking you for thest time? How do you know that name?" Jason asked again and Elle looked at him. He was looking so serious right now. She was about to say when the door swung open and James, Tyson and some other people stepped in. Elle breathed out in relief. "Sorry for keeping you waiting¡­" James said and Elle stood up with a smile. "Dad, you should keep to your time, you told me to be here by eight.." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "I''m really sorry, son.." James interrupted Jason. "I only have 20 minutes more to go, you should hurry.." Jason stated and sat down. Tyson smiled and walked towards Elle. He pecked her cheek and then shed her another smile before he walked to his seat. Elle sat and the meetingmenced. As they discussed, Elle couldn''t help but steal nces at Jason. She was getting afraid, if he had figured out some things.." Meanwhile Jason was lost in thoughts. He remembered when he told Asanel that name. For the first time ever, he shed tears in front of someone. He missed his mum so badly. She was there tofort and told him to smile always and anytime they argued. She would always say that to tease him. "You should just stop arguing with me because we all know you are going to lose, Michael.." "You never an arguement against me, right Michael?" Jason sighed again. He had stopped thinking about her regrly and tried really moving on but recently, it''s like there''s something bringing him back to the past!" And all that started when she came into his life. Danielle Browns!" "Could she be a stalker?" He thought again. ** The meeting was already over and the contract was signed already. They were all ready to leave but they were surprised when they all met bunch of reporters outside. "We hear something very interesting, Danielle Browns, a popr model and CEO of one of the top companies here in New Zend is partnering with the governor?" "How true is it?" One of the reporters asked. "Well, it''s true that we are now partners and it''s not only business wise. We are going to improve the city more.." That''s a promise. One of the reporters sighted Jason as he was about to leave and immediately asked him. "Mr Madison, What are the ns regarding your wedding with Giselle.." He asked and Jason sighed. He hated all this with passion. In the midst of all this, suddenly Elle saw that a red light on James'' forehead. Her eyes widened and she gasped. He was being targeted. "No!" She yelled and pushed him off and then a gunshot was heard. Everywhere scattered immediately as everyone scampered for safety. Jason''s eyes widened when he saw Elle bleeding profusely. She was shot! Tyson who also saw that hurriedly made his way to help her but before he could get there, Jason scooped her in his arms. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Chapter 17 It was a n Tyson who also saw that hurriedly made his way to help her but before he could get there, Jason scooped her in his arms. It was then that he noticed that she was shot at her arm. "Hey, Elle, look at me, don''t close your eyes.." He told her but Elle couldn''t hold it in again. Her eyes went shut immediately. Jason felt his heart leap in fear. A feeling he had not experienced in years. He was very much concerned about her. As he approached the car, Tyson hurriedly ran to him. "I''ll take of it.." Tyson said and Jason looked at him. "What are you doing, Tyson?" James'' voice was heard from behind. "She took a bullet for me and now you are stopping him from taking her to the hospital!" James yelled at him. Jason opened the door and dropped her in. He immediately went to the other side, entered the car and then drove off. ** Later. "She will be fine governor, we''ve seeded in removing the bullet in her arm. She will be fine.." The doctor says and James nodded. "Thanks a lot.." He said. He opened the door and walked into the room. Meanwhile Jason stood outside, and watched her sleep peacefully. "Thankfully, she''s not hurt.." "But why did she take the bullet for my dad?" He wondered and then he walked away. James stood staring at her and for that moment, he was extremely grateful to her for what she did. She saved his life. Elle''s eyes fluttered open and she looked around almost immediately. "Where am I?" She tried sitting up but then she felt a sharp pain in her arm and she groaned but still sat up. "Be careful, your wounds haven''t healed yet.." "What happened?" She asked innocently and James sighed. "Thank you for saving my life. I really do appreciate it!" James said and Elle nodded. Sheid back on the bed. ''I''m just happy that you didn''t get hurt, governor.." Elle replied. "Your phone has been ringing for a while. It''s your mum¡­" "I''ll leave you to it.." James said. Tyson walked in with a bouquet of flowers. "I''ll just talk to Elle.." He told his dad. Elle forced out a smile when she saw him. "Hey.." She called. Tyson smiled and dropped the bouquet on the table nearby. "How are you feeling now?" He asked and took her hand, caressing it gently. Elle scrunched her face in disgust but quickly reced it with another smile. "I''m fine.." "You shouldn''t have done that.." Tyson scolded her. "Done what?" "It''s better that the governor was safe. I''m d that I was able to save him at least.." Elle muttered. "Thank you.." He whispered and she smiled. "I''ll take you on a date when you get better.." He added. "I would love to.." She said, He stood up. "I''ll leave you to talk with your mum.." Tyson said and walked out. Elle smiled when he was out of sight. She picked up her phone and dialed Mamita''s number. Lady red answered the call immediately. "Elle, what happened? I just saw it on the news now! Are you okay? Why would you even take a bullet for that evil man? You should have let him die!" Lady red said and Elle sighed. "Mamita, if I had wanted to kill him. I would have done so immediately when I came. I want them to feel the pain I felt when they murdered my parents!" She mumbled with clenched fists. Lady red sighed. "I know, I just wanted you to be safe.." "Mamita, I''m fine. I promised you and Kiera that I would take care of myself, right? And besides, I didn''t intend on killing myself?" She mumbled again and a smirk appeared at the corner of her lips. "What do you mean by that?" "It was all my n all along, Mamita.." She smiled more widely. FLASHBACK. Elle and Damien sat in the living room, nning their next move against the Madison''s. "We have to do something. I''ve seeded in gaining Tyson''s trust and I''m sure it won''t be long until he falls for me but then the problem is James. We can''t have him suspecting us. I need to gain his trust and also that of Lauren''s. It would be easy for me to slowly kill them from the inside.." Elle said. "So, what''s the n?" Damien asked. "Actually, I didn''t think of this before but this will be the best n I have. I gain both Lauren and James'' trust with this.." Elle smirked. "And?" "You know what if I take a bullet for James?" Elle asked and Damien stood up immediately. "What the hell are you saying? You want to endanger your life because of them? Have you forgotten that your daughter needs you? What would I say to Mamita?" Damien asked angrily and Elle sighed. "That''s the problem, Dam. You use your heart too much and that bes your weakness. I know all what you are saying is true and I''m not nning on getting myself killed, alright?" "We can just stage that James was almost assinated but I took the bullet for him. It''s just a n. You can just shoot me in the arm, leg or anywhere that''s not so vital!" Elle said and rolled her eyes. "I''m certainly not in with you. I''m not going along with this stupid n of yours!" Damien said adamantly. "Oh really, I''m the boss here and I''m ordering you to do so. I promise I won''t get hurt so badly.." Elle said and Damien sighed. "Fine¡­" "But once it gets too dangerous, I''m going to back out.." He warned and Elle nodded. "Fine, it''s fine with me.." She added. "And one more thing, Mamita must not find out.." She said and he sighed and just sat on the chair without saying anything. END OF FLASHBACK. "it was all a n and I''m fine now.." Elle said. "I love that you are smart but you must not do anything like this again, or I''ll ask you to forfeit your mission.." Lady red warned. "Fine, Mamita.." Elle smiled. "How''s Kiera.." "She''s doing fine.." Lady red answered. "Please don''t let her know about what happened!" "Okay.." She said and hung up. Elle smirked. "This is my first step to gain your trust James. I swear that I''ll destroy you and your wife very soon, especially through your son.." Her eyes were reddened in rage. Her phone rang again and she sighed when she saw it was Damien calling. She answered the call immediately. "Danielle, are you fine?" He asked immediately she answered the call. "I am and would you stop fidgeting like a child.." She scoffed. "Everything is working ording to n. I''ve managed to gain James trust and for Tyson, he''s getting more whipped with me. When I make him fall head over heels for me, I''m going to dupe him.." She said andughed. "Just be careful.." He said and she nodded. "Is anyone still in the hospital? I''ming to pick you up!" "It''s fine, Dam. I''lle home on my own.." "No, I''lle to pick you.." He insisted. "Fine then, I think they all left, be fast.." Elle added and hung up the call. Meanwhile, outside, Jason was in his car contemting whether to go in and check up on her or not. He was actually on the way to his office but then he couldn''t help but get worried about her, he turned back in the middle of the road and he''s at the hospital right now. He just saw his father and Tyson leave not long ago. "Gosh! Why am I even here?" He asked himself. He sighed and then brought out a picture. A light smile escaped his lips as he stared at it. It was the picture of young Asanel smiling like she had no problem in the hall. His expression softened as he stared at the picture. He actually took the picture when they went to the beach. "Asanel.." He muttered and he caressed the picture. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "I miss you.." He said. "Most times, I feel you are around again and she.." He paused. "She''s doing something to me. But I promised never to be shaken. I will only love you. You will forever remain special and no one will rece you in my heart.." He said and then kissed the picture. He dropped the picture and then opened the car''s door. He came out of it and then wore his sunsses, then he walked into the hospital. Soon he was at the door. He stood still and then knocked on the door. "Come in.." Her soft voice came and he gently opened the door and then walked in. Elle who had been staring at the pictures of her daughter, sat up, frozen by his sudden appearance. Her phone almost fell from her hand but she grabbed it tightly. "Hi.." He said and Elle smiled awkwardly. "You are here.." She muttered and he nodded. "How are you feeling now?" He asked. "I''m fine.." She smiled and tried sweeping her hair forward but it was bulging. It was then it urred to her that some strand of her was stuck in her zipper. She struggled with it for some seconds while Jason just watched her. Suddenly he blurted out the words he never thought he could say to someone! Ever! "Can I help you with it?" Elle looked up and gulped hard but she nodded anyways. He walked towards her back and then gently unzip her dress a little and then arranged her back. Elle suddenly turned which their faces to be very close to each other. Elle''s heartbeat quickened and her breath hitched as he stared at her but then the door suddenly opened revealing someone. Giselle eyes widened when she saw them in that position and she charged towards Elle Elle immediately. "How dare you try to seduce my fiancee?" Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Danger "How dare you try to seduce my fiance?!" She yelled and before she could get to Elle. Jason got up and blocked her. "What do you think you are doing?" He asked her and she smirked. "What am I doing? Why are you even here? And can''t you see through her schemes, she''s trying to seduce you!" Giselle yelled and he scoffed. "Oh really.." Jason said and then grabbed her arm. "Let''s go. You can see she''s not doing well now.." He told her but she fred his hands from hers. Elle just scoffed watching them. "Why did he get such a stupid fiancee for himself? I''m sure he doesn''t even like her.." She thought to herself. "And why should I go? Can''t I be open about her shameless ness. She stole one of the biggest contracts in my life. I''m the main face but then she stole that from me too, now we both have to be the main face of it. Jason, I''m sure she slept with one of the managers and she''s trying to do so with you!" Giselle said and Jason Jason sighed, clenching his fists angrily. "Jason, I¡­" "Shut the hell up!" He yelled at her and Giselle stopped talking, surprised at his sudden outburst. He was always cold and rude to her but this was the first time he was yelling at her. "I''ve had enough. Get the help out of here and don''t you ever show your face to me!" And saying that he stormed off. Elle smirked as she watched Giselle''s expression. "You are that threatened by me. First the contract and now, your fiance¡­" "Oops, ex fiancee, I doubt if he even likes you considering the way he behaved with you.." Elleughed and Giselle red at her. She walked out angrily. Elleughed loudly as she could. "It serves her right.." She mumbled. The door swung open and Damien walked in. "Hey, pretty..: "You''rete.." She rolled her eyes. Damien sighed and sat at the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling now?" He asked. "Not again.." Elle groaned and got off the bed. "I''m fine.." She said and tried taking her phone from the bed but the pain hit her hard and she groaned. "I told you to be careful.." Damien said and took the phone from the bed. "Let''s get going. I''m sick of staying in this hospital.." Elle said and Damien stood. "What''s the next n now?" He whispered and she smirked. "I want to figure out his every moves. All the illegal businesses he has. I want to know them all. That would be a major key of taking him down.." "What about Tyson? Is he still useful to you?" "Of course, he is. I''m yet to make him fall madly for me. But then, I really need to find a way to install the cameras and tracking devices. It would make my.." "Elle.." A voice was heard from the outside and both Elle and Damien gasped. "It sounds like Tyson.." "Quickly, get under the bed.." She hurriedly said to Damien. Damien nodded and in a second, he was under the bed. Elle cleared her throat. "Tyson, are you there?" She asked. "Yeah, I thought you might making an important call or anything, I decided not toe in.." Tyson said. "Oh! My mum wouldn''t let me rest with calls¡­" "That''s why. You cane in.." Elle said. The door opened and Tyson walked in, with a handsome smile as usual. His smile faded when he saw her standing. He rushed towards her immediately. "Why are you standing? You should sit.." He said. "I''m fine now. I''m actually feeling suffocated here. I want to go home.." She pouted her lips and Tyson sighed. He pinched her nose gently. "I''ll take you home then.." He said and she smiled. "Thanks a lot bunny.." She smiled and held his cor tightly then she gave him a peck. Tyson blushed heavily. "You are making me go crazy.." He mumbled. Damien who was watching everything just scoffed. "Foolish guy, she''s just using you.." He said and in an attempt to adjust himself. His leg hit the iron causing a sound. Tyson furrowed his brows. "What''s that?" He asked no one in particr. "Did you hear that sound?" He now asked Elle. "What sound?" She asked. "I just.." He tried to bend himself to see what he heard. But Elle pulled him up. "I''m really feeling queasy here.." "Let''s just go, please.." She winced and Tyson immediately nodded. "Okay, fine.." He mumbled. ** AUSTRALIA. BROWN''S MANSION. Kiera was seen crying on the couch, holding a doll. Last red who was beside her sighed. "Princess, I told you your mum is fine. She didn''t get injured so badly.." "But she was shot, Mamita. You didn''t even tell me. What if I hadn''t seen it in the news?" Little Kiera yelled angrily and Mamita sighed. "Baby, I''m sorry. Please stop crying. It can be extremely dangerous for your health. Please.." Mamita begged but Kiera refused to budge. "I want to call my mummy, I want to call my mummy.." She yelled and began stomping her feet on the ground. "I want to see my mummy. Can''t she juste home? I miss mummy so much. Mamita, I want to call my mummy?!" Kiera continued crying. Lady red sighed and reached out for her phone. She called Elle immediately, after ringing for a few times, Elle rejected the call. "What?" Lady red said and sighed. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. "Princess, your mum is not answering the call.." She said, "I won''t listen. I want to talk to my mummy. Tell her toe back home.." Kiera yelled again with tears and Mamita sighed again. "Princess.." She called trying to move closer to her but Kiera adjusted herself. "I won''t speak to you unless my mumes home.." She snapped at her. "Kie.." Suddenly Kiera started gasping for breath. Her breathing became heavy and tears rushed out of her eyes. Lady red''s eyes widened as she saw that. She immediately reached for her inhaler and rushed back to her. She ced the inhaler in her nose and her breath became steady but then her eyes closed, she passed out immediately. "Kiera! Kiera! Oh goodness! I need to take her to the hospital.." "Israel, Israel,e help me out here.." Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Where¡¯s my daddy ! AUSTRALIA. CITY HILLS HOSPITAL. Lady red paced up and down, rubbing her palms together. Kiera was rushed to the hospital not quite long and the doctors are still attending to her. She heaved and then sat down, contemting if she should call Elle and inform her about it. Just then, the doctor came out and she stood up immediately. "How''s she? How''s my granddaughter?" She asked worriedly. The doctor smiled. "She''s fine. It was just shock that made it turn that way and I asked her what she needs a few minutes ago. She says she wants to see her mom. Where''s her mum by the way?" He asked. "She went on a business trip and she won''t be back for a while.." "I''ll advise you to call her back and stay with her even for a few days. That would greatly improve her health..." "Thank you Doctor..." She smiled and the doctor walked away. "I''m just d she''s safe.." She mumbled to herself and then she took her phone and immediately called Elle. New Zend. Elle sat on the bed, she was watching a movie on herptop. Tyson left not too long. She was actually at her pent house, she couldn''t disclose her real house, at least not now, until she''s safe. She took her eyes back to the move and just then, the characters in the movie kissed. She immediately remembered how she fell on Jason and how their lips met. And then the first kiss they shared together several years ago. Elle sighed and immediately closed theptop. "I shouldn''t be thinking of this. I shouldn''t be doing this. I''m over him already, I''m not Asanel who was in love with him. I''m Elle.." She thought and closed her eyes, clenching her fists tightly as she did. "I''m back here for revenge and nothing can make me away from it.." She mumbled to herself and then sighed before she opened her eyes. She took her phone and was about to call Damien when a call came in immediately. It was Lady red. Elle smiled and answered the call almost immediately. "Mamita.." She called. "Elle, how are you now?" Lady red asked. "I''m fine and you? How are you? How''s my princess?" Elle asked and then stood up. This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. "I''m fine but then.." Lady red paused. Elle furrowed her brows and her heart skipped. "What happened? Did anything happen to Kiera?" She asked half yelling. "No, nothing serious happened. She insisted on seeing you so she had an attack but the doctor says it''s nothing serious.." Lady red exined and Elle heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God.." She mumbled. "Elle, can youe over and see your daughter, probably tomorrow?" "I will. I''ll take a quick flight to Australia and once I''m done, I''lle back immediately.." She said. "That''s good but make sure they don''t suspect! You should make up a quick and strong excuse.." Lady red said. "Got it Mamita! I know what to do.." She mumbled and then hung up. As soon as she hung up, her phone rang. It was Damien calling. She answered the call immediately. "You''re at your pent house right?" Damien asked instantly. "Yeah.." She mumbled and sat down. "I''ming over.." "No, no, no.." "Just prepare my documents, I''ll be taking a quick flight to Australia,te this night.." "Why? What happened?" "Kiera had another attack and insisted to see me.." "What? How''s she now? Damien asked with concern. "She''s fine but you know how Kiera is. Until she gets to see me. She won''t agree to her grandma. Just seeing me will calm her.." Elle said. "Should I go with you then?" He asked. "Nah, just stay here and take care of things. I''ll be back in a day.." Elle said and hung up. She smirked almost immediately. "It''s time for show!" Sheughed and then dailed Tyson''s number. He answered the call immediately like he was awaiting her call. "Beautiful.." He called and she sniffed. "Hey, what''s wrong?" He asked when he heard her sniff. "Tyson, I don''t know what to do, I''m just tied. My mum''s really sick right now and I''m really scared.." Elle faked a teary voice. "But you called your mom, minutes ago and she was fine.." "She was just putting on an act for my sake. I just received the news from her assistant that she''s sick.." Elle said and smiled. "Baby, it''s okay. Just calm down. Everything will be fine. Don''t worry.." "What are you going to do now?" He asked. "I''ll go back to Australia to see her.." "That''s good, do you want me toe along with you?" He asked and Elle''s eyes widened. "No!" She interjected immediately. "I meant no need. It''s not required. I don''t want to be in the way of your work, you have numerous meetings with clients, remember?" "Yes, that''s true.." "Just take care, hmmm.." "I will.." "Bye.." He said and she hung up. As soon as she did, she bursted outughing. "Fool!" She muttered. ** Meanwhile Tyson was with his dad when he received the call. He sighed and dropped the phone down. "Was that Elle?" James asked and then took a sip of the drink in his hand. "Yes, she''s leaving for Australia to see her mum but she would be back soon.." Tyson said and James nodded. "Do you like her?" James asked and Tyson chuckled. "Woah! That''s a direct question dad?" Tyson said and took his ss cup before pouring himself a drink. "I know you like girls but do you like her in a different way?" James asked again. "Well dad, yes. I mean what''s there not to like about her?" "She''s beautiful, rich, sexy and smart. She''s literally my type and that''s why I like her differently.." Tyson smiled and sipped from his drink while James just nodded and smiled. "But the question is, do you trust her dad?" Tyson asked and James smirked. "I didn''t at first but I do now, I like her sense of maturity, and she''s extremely brilliant when ites to business. I trust her.." He told Tyson and Tyson smiled. "So you know what you have to do? Having her in our family makes us stronger and more richer?" "Make her fall for you madly, sway her by your charms and then get married to her. Boom! She''s only yours then.." James said with an evil grin and Tysonughed. "On it dad! Cheers!" He raised his ss and they both clicked their sses. ** Morning. Australia. Kiera sat in her room, ying with her iPad. The stubborn girl had refused to stay in the hospital so they had no choice to bring her home. "Kiera.." A soft voice called and she turned back. She gasped when she saw who was there. "Mum?!" She yelled and she immediately ran into the arms of her mum. Elle smiled and kissed her daughter''s hair. She badly missed her. "Mum, I missed you.." Kiera whined and Elleughed, and they broke the hug. "I missed you too, my princess.." Elle said and pecked her cheeks. "Are you back for good now?" Kiera asked and Elle sighed. "No, I''ll go back tomorrow but I''ll be back soon, mummy''s just busy.." Elle said and Kiera smiled. "I''m just d, you are with me. I love you mum.. "I love you too princess.." Elle said wiry a smile. "Mum,e and help me with my assignments..." Kiera said and dragged Elle away. An hourter. "Wow! That''s great! My princess is such a good dancer.." Elle said and then gave her a ss of milk. Kiera smiled. "I''ll be presenting it at this year''s funfare party.." Kiera said with a smile before she drank the milk. "Mummy, I wanted to ask you this.." Kiera said blinking her eyes innocently and Elle wiped off the stains off her mouth. "What''s it?" Mummy, do I have a daddy?" Elle froze immediately she heard that. "I''ve asked you before but you didn''t answer me, do I have a daddy?.." "No, I''m supposed to have a daddy. My teacher said a child must have a mummy and a daddy but where''s my daddy?" To be continued. Please, note that daily update starts next month. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Where¡¯s my daddy II I''ve asked you before but you didn''t answer me, do I have a daddy?.." "No, I''m supposed to have a daddy. My teacher said a child must have a mummy and a daddy but where''s my daddy?" Elle''s throat dried up, she had mentally prepared for this day. She had already prepared the answers she was going to give her daughter but now, her brain''s empty. She couldn''t say a word or was it because she met Jason. "Mummy.." Kiera called innocently again and Elle jolted out of her thoughts. "Mummy, are you okay?" She asked. "Yeah.." Elle faked a smile. "I''m fine, princess.." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "I asked you about where my daddy is but you didn''t reply. Don''t you have an answer for that?'' Kiera pouted her lips cutely. "Hmm.." Elle was about to talk when Lady Red walked in. "Why''s the environment so tense?" Lady Red asked and Kiera sighed and hit her forehead lightly. "Granny, I just asked mum where my dad is but she didn''t reply me. So do you know where my daddy is?" Kiera said, now folding her hands under her chest, looking like a police officer interrogating the criminals. Lady red smiled. "Princess.." She walked towards her and pinched her lips cutely. "That''s not important for now. But I''ve got something for you. It''s a surprise.." Lady red said and Kiera furrowed her brows. "What?" "Your uncle Damien is here to see you.." Elle flinched upon hearing that. Damien''s here. She told him not toe so why did he? "I hope his stubbornness doesn''t ruin my ns.." "What?!" Kiera eximed with smiles. "Yes, he''s here, waiting in the living room already. Go now and see him.." Lady red said and Kiera ran out giggling. Elle heaved a sigh of relief and she stood up. Lady red smirked. "You can''t hide this forever, I told you already.." "Mamita, not now. I know what I''m doing. I know what to tell her when the right timees.." Elle replied stubbornly and Lady red sighed. "That''s what you said and when she asked you about her father, you kept quiet..." "Mam..." "No, you listen to me for once Asanel!" She snapped at her and Elle''s face turned pale upon hearing that name. "I''m not Asanel. I''m not Asanel! Please don''t ever call me that again, Mamita.." Elle said, her fists clenched and her lips trembled. Just hearing that name made all the painful memories rush back to her. "Asanel, you have to remember this. Jason is the father to your daughter and she has all the right to her, I won''t say anything right now because of your mission at hand. But once your mission is over, you should let Jason know about his child. Not everything is about you, Kiera deserves her father''s love.." "And also remember, Kiera''s getting inquisitive and you know how she is when she starts asking questions. You have to speed up your mission or you would have a time avoiding the topic about her father..." Lady red said and walked out. Elle fell on the chair trying badly to hold back her tears. She hardly shed any tears ever since she decided to avenge her parents. But now, the situation was too painful for her to handle. "What do I do?" She mumbled and ran her hands into her hair. *** New Zend. Jason came out of his car and walked to his mansion. He got to it and punched his password on the device and the doors opened immediately. As soon as he got in, he walked to the kitchen and took a ss of water which he sipped from as he headed to his room. He had actually came from a meeting with his dad and he had informed him that Elle was out of the country to visit her sick mum. Jason scoffed at his thought. "Why do I even care?" He asked himself and then he stopped in front of his room. "I shouldn''t even care even if she dies. But at least, she should have rested instead of rushing home. She was shot! Damn shot! Wasn''t she concerned about her health?" "What is your problem? You shouldn''t be concerned about her?!" His subconscious screamed at him. "Gosh!" He groaned. "Something must be definitely wrong with me!" He mumbled and he opened the door, then he walked in. Closing his eyes, he removed his tie and threw it on the bed and just as he was about to remove the suit, he felt hands wrapped around him. Jason flinched immediately and then turned back. His jaws dropped when he saw her. "You?!" Jason''s eyes widened in shock. "What the hell are you doing here?" He asked as he scanned her from head to toe. "How did you get in here? Don''t you have any shame Giselle?" He asked and Giselle smirked. She was putting on a heavy makeup with bright red lip stick and wore a sexy red lingerie to match. Giselle smirked and winked at him seductively. "I''m here for you baby.." She said running her hands seductively all over his body. Jason closed his eyes, breathing heavily, trying to control himself because he definitely knows he would lose control soon. "Giselle.." He pushed her away slightly. "How did you get in here? Did you break in here?" Jason asked her calmly as he opened his eyes. "Nothing much. I told the gatekeeper I was your fiancee and you asked me to wait for you in the house so he let me in. I see you have no bodyguards here. Why?" She asked and Jason scoffed. "Get out Giselle.." He said calmly. "But.." She pouted. "Don''t you want to know how I found out your password?" She said and he scoffed. "Your sister told me the name of the girl you are madly in love with and I I tried it. Asanel! It worked perfectly.." Giselle smiled. "But too bad, she''s not alive..." She added and that was the height of it. Jason grabbed her by the shoulders roughly. "You should know that at this moment, the best thing is to keep your mouth shut.." Jason red at her dangerously. "Now get out!" He yelled and grabbed her hand, before dragging her away. "Wait, where are you taking me to? Leave me.." "You can''t take me out like this, I''m not wearing anything!" She yelled in tears. Jason paid deaf ears to her pleadings. "Why are you like this with me? What do you love about that girl so much? Why do you even treat Elle better than me? You act okay with her when you barely know her than me!" She yelled and Jason pushed her off, hardly. She fell on the ground and her head the wooden door hardly. Giselle groaned in pains. "You wanna know why?" He asked and Giselle looked up in tears. "Even if I barely know her! She''s definitely not a slut like you!" He said and then brought out his phone, then he called a number. "Come in.." He said. Giselle kept weeping and holding her head in pains until the door opened. Two hefty men stepped in. They looked surprised seeing Giselle in that dress and position. "How did she get in?'' He asked them with a cold and stern look. They were his secret bodyguards stationed at some disclosed parts of the house. "Sir, I''m sorry. I actually saw her but then I recalled that she''s your fiancee. I''m really sorry sir. It won..." "I don''t want to hear any of your excuses, the next time you let this woman in my house. You will lose your jobs with immediate effect.." He warned and then took another nce at Giselle. "Get her out of my sight!" He ordered and walked away without even sparing another nce. "You can''t do this to me Jason. I''m your fiancee. I love you very much. You can''t humiliate me like this.." Giselle cried as they carried her out of the house. "No matter what you do, I''ll always love you and I will make you mine no matter what!" She yelled again in tears. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Chapter 21 She¡¯s not my daughter! Jason walked into his room and he fell on the bed. "The audacity of her? How dare she try to seduce me?!" He told himself and then he brought out his laptop and started working on it. Yeah, his daily routines are just to work tirelessly, eat and rest. His life was practically boring. There was no time for clubbing or partying, his life really felt empty. He created a huge wall around him that no one could break until he actually met her. She was actually trying to break the wall. He never imagined that he would get concerned about someone else, the way he was for her. "Damn!" "I give up!" He muttered and then he took his phone. His dad actually gave him her contact today. He never thought he would be in need of it untiltely. He looked at her contact which he saved as "Pretty Bewitcher" and then he scoffed and put the phone down on the bed. Yeah, he actually calls her pretty bewitcher because he didn''t believe how she managed to make him so concerned about her within a week and some days of her staying here. She must have bewitched him! It''s a fact! Jason groaned and looked at his phone. He picked it up and called her immediately without hesitating. The phone rang for some moments and ... New Zend. "Mummy, mummy.." Little Kiera yelled as she walked into her mum''s room but her mum was no where to be found in the room. "Hmph!" Kiera scoffed. "Where''s she again? Has she left without informing me yet again?" She asked herself. "Let me go ask granny!" She thought and made to walk out when a phone rang out loud and Kiera paused. "Isn''t that mummy''s ringtone?" She smiled and then turned back. She saw her mum''s phone lying on the bed. "Woah! So she''s hasn''t left yet.." Kiera smiled again and took the phone. The phone kept on ringing. "The contact of the number is not saved, so it''s an unknown number. Let me pick it for mummy.." She said and then answered the call. "Pretty witch!" Jason''s voice came out immediately. "Why did you take long to answer my calls? I don''t like waiting you know that.."Jason said with arrogance in his voice. Kiera sighed. "Who are you to call my mummy a pretty witch!" Jason froze immediately he heard a little''s girls voice and the word ''mummy'' "Wait.." "What?!" "Who are you? Are you the owner of this phone? Did you steal it?" Jason asked and Kiera gssped. "You must be mistaken mister. I''m not a thief, you are the one who called my mum a witch. Don''t you think I''ve forgotten about that?" "But, Elle never had a da..." Kiera sighed. "You sound grumpy and rude, Mister. You should learn to smile more. Be happy and make yoye smiles very wide.." Kiera said and unknown to her, unconsciously to Jason. He smiled. Just hearing what she said melted his heart immensely. "How do you know I am grumpy?" He asked and Kiera sighed. "I don''t need to mention it to you. I''m sure you are smart to figure it out.." "What''s your name?" He asked. "Kiera.." She replied with a mummy smile. "And yours?" "Jason.." "Your name is beautiful, Mr grumpy.." Jason chuckled hearing that. "And so is yours.." "You sound very intelligent...." "Of course I am..." Kiera replied proudly. "You must have gotten it from your parents.." Jason smiled and sat on the bed. He was strangely enjoying the conversation with the peculiar daughter of Elle. "I think from my mum but I''m not sure if I also got it from my dad since I don''t know anything about my dad.." Kiera said and sighed. "Are you sad, little girl?" Jason asked. He actually heard her sighing. "I''m.. " She was about to talk but then she paused when she saw her mum walked in. "Princess.." Elle smiled looking around and her eyes widened when itnded on her daughter. She was even holding her phone close to her ears. "Kiera!" Elle yelled and she rushed to her and collected the phone from her. "Who are you talking to? Why did you answer my calls when I''ve told you several times not to do that?!" Elle scolded her. "I''m sorry mum..'' Kiera muttered and Elle sighed. "Do you have any idea on who you are taking to?" Elle further asked. "He said he''s name is Jason and he even called you pretty witch. Do you know him mummy?" Kiera asked and Elle froze to the spot. Being shocked was an understatement. "Ja.. Jason.." She said and she looked at her phone. The call was still ongoing so that means that he heard all what they said. Elle took deep breaths and smiled. "Can you give some minutes. I will like to talk to my friend.." Kiera nodded and walked away. Elle sighed and brought to the phone to her ears, her heart hammering against her chest. "Hey.." She smiled like she could see him. "Why did you call?" "You don''t sound pretty happy to hear my voice.." "It''s like you are hiding something.." "Of course not! I''m not!" She eximed. "I''m just surprised you called. I wasn''t expecting it.." "And I''m surprised you have a daughter.." He said and Elle forced out aughter. "What? A daughter?" She asked. "Of course not, she''s my sister. My mum adopted a young girl though it was not revealed. But I love her like she''s my daughter and she calls me "mum''. Isn''t anything bad there?" Elle said and Jason sighed. "I''m sorry I didn''t mean to judge you. Anyways, I just wanted to know if you were okay. It''s fine if you are.." Elle smiled when she heard that. "Thanks a lot for your concern.." She replied him and Jason scoffed. "I''m not concerned about you. I''m just concerned about our partnership. It won''t do well if you are ill.." "Fine.." Elle said still smiling. "Bye.." And with that he hung up. Elle heaved a sigh of relief and fell on the bed. "I can''t believe Jason just spoke to his daughter.." She said to herself and then sighed out when she remembered the lie she told him earlier. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "I''m sorry Kiera, you are my daughter and you will always be. I just told that lie to protect you. The both of you has the right to know the truth but not now, I''m really sorry." Elle muttered and then hugged the phone. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Chapter 22 In a quest to destroy Elle Giselle came down from the car staring around. She smirked and clenched her fists angrily and then she removed her sunsses as she stared at the big building. MIRALLAS was written boldly in front of it. She remembered Jason''s words and she clenched her fists more tightly. "I swear Danielle Browns, I''m going to make life hell for you. You will regret evering to this country. First, I''ll start by destroying all the endorsements you have. And your n to get Jason will go to waste cause I''ll be the one getting him. Jason''s mine forever.." She thought and walked in. She walked straight to the manager''s office. He was on a call when she walked in. He had a surprised look when he saw her. Giselle just rolled her eyes and sat on the cushion a few distance away from him. After a while, he ended the call and faced her. "Wow! Giselle. It''s such a pleasant surprise to see you..: "Well, Richard. It''s not pleasant to see you.." Giselle said and dropped her bag, then she stood up. She folded her hands under her chest and walked to him. "Tell me how much did Elle pay you?" Richard furrowed his brows. "I want to know how much she paid you cause you can''t just allow her to be the face of MIRALLAS. Stop acting dumb, you know how it works here. It''s not very easy to be the face of this prestigious company. It''s either your money or your body. So I want to know how much did she pay you or did she sleep with you?" Giselle asked with an angry look and Richard grinned. He stood up and shook his head. "She gave me nothing. I was surprised too but ¡­" "Hold it!" Giselle snarled. "You know fully well how I got into MIRALLAS and also how I obtained my position here in this company. It''s not easy. And here you are acting like a saying here,e on, give me the price.." She asked. Richard walked to herughing. "Seriously Giselle, I have not seen you so desperate like this. What''s wrong?" Richard asked, already standing in front of her. Giselle ignored his question. "So if Elle didn''t get here through her money nor her body, can you help me get her out of this company. Cancel her deal or anything.." Giselle said and Richardughed again. Giselle rolled her eyes and yanked off her top leaving her in a bra only. Richard''s eyes widened and he gulped hard immediately. "I''m willing to do anything, even this. We are used to this, Richard. I know you can help me with this. Just kick her out of thispany.." Giselle pleaded. Richard moved more closer to her and wrapped his hands around her bare waist. He smirked and then kissed her bare neck while Giselle pulled him closer to him. He whispered to her. "I want this twice. Not only once.." "Anything you want.." Giselle whispered back. "Don''t worry, my office is sound proofed.." He said and then carried her to the cushion. "I seriously can''t get enough of you.." Richard whispered and pulled her into a deep kiss before taking off her bra. ** Night. Elle came out of the room. She walked into Kiera''s room and met her sleeping. She smiled and then kissed her forehead. She studied her facial features and that was when she realised that Kiera indeed had a resemnce to Jason. Not just in looks tho. Even in her attitude. "I''m sorry, Baby. I know I''m keeping the truth from you but it''s never my intention to do so, I want to protect you from this evil world till myst breath. You deserve to know your father, maybe if I''m through with my mission. Just maybe, you will get to meet your dad. I''m sure he will be d to know he has a daughter. But I just need you to be safe. I love you princess.." She whispered and kissed her forehead again. Then she stood up and walked outside. Her phone rang and she rolled her eyes when she saw who was calling. It was Tyson. But she answered the call. "Hello, Sweetheart, how are you?" "I''m fine and how are you? How''s your mum?" "She''s fine¡­" "It''s morning here so I''m guessing. You won''t be back today right. Or will you?" "I''ll be back today. It''s still night here so I''ll probably be back in the afternoon there.." Elle replied and Tyson chuckled. "That''s actually a good thing. My Dad''s birthday is in two days. I thought you won''t be able to make it, that''s why I called.." "Oh! The governor''s birthday is in two days. I''m going to attend! Why not! He''s been so good to me that I''ll feel so bad if I don''t attend.." Elle replied and Tyson chuckled again. "Wow! You''re already acting like you''re his daughter inw. Why don''t we get married soon?" Tyson asked and Elle scrunched her face in disgust. "In my dreams!" She thought and rolled her eyes. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "You are going way too fast baby, I''m not even your girlfriend yet so how can I marry you?" Elle asked. "I''m nning to make you mine soon¡­" He said and she scoffed inwardly. "Okay, I need to prepare for my flight tomorrow''s morning. I''ll call youter.." She said and then hung up. "In his dreams! I will never think of marrying such fool not in my wildest dreams.." Shd mumbled and walked away. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Memories New Zend Noon. Elle walked out of the airport and she hopped into the car. After really convincing her daughter, Kiera finally agreed to let her mum go on the condition that she would be back soon. Even if it was not possible, she just had to lie to her. She didn''t even want Kiera toe to New Zend at all. Even her speaking to Jason created some kind of weird fear in her mind. Well, she had actually told Damien to go home straight cause she wanted to visit her dad''s grave. She had no idea where her mum was buried and that was what was hurting her the most. After a while, the car halted. Elle wore her long coat and then her sunsses, then she covered her hair and mouth with a big shawl. When she was sure her disguise was proper, she came down from the car with a bouquet of flowers. She walked to her Dad''s grave which was not too far from where the car was parked. When she got there, she knelt beside it and smiled out tears. It was really looking tattered. The grasses were overgrown that it was now covering but nevertheless, Elle ced the flower on it. "Hi dad.." She smiled. "I''m sorry I didn''t get to visit you earlier. It took me seven years to visit you and I''m really sorry about that. "I was building myself to avenge your death. You and mum''s. Your death was very painful. I promise to make the Madison''s pay for it. They will regret all the evil things they''ve done, your deaths will never go in vain.." Elle said with a light smile. "Dad, I have a daughter, your granddaughter and she''s very pretty. I will bring her here to visit you when the time is right. But as for now, it''s still dangerous¡­" Elle stood up and dusted her hands. "Dad, I have to go. I love you.." She said and then walked away. As soon as she got into the car. "Take me to the national amusement park.." She instructed her driver and the man immediately obeyed. On her way there, her heart was filled with different thoughts but all she knew she had was the assurance that she was going toplete her revenge mission. ''Ma''am, we are here.." Her driver told her and she jolted out of her reverie. Elle nodded and came out of the car. Her eyes scanned everywhere and the past memories began rushing in her head. Her parents always take her to the amusement park when they are free. She remembered all the fun she usually had. It was one of the most interesting moments in her life. As she took closer steps, more memories began rushing to her head, this time, not of her parents but of him. Jason. Tears were threatening to fall down her eyes as she recalled those beautiful moments. When they both usually sneak out and go to the amusement park to while away time like they were kids. As soon as she got to the ice cream joint. She smiled. "Two cones of ice cream, please. Both should be strawberry vours.." Elle said and then brought out some notes before giving it to the ice cream vendor. She smiled happily and turned back but then her smile faded when she saw him. The person she had been thinking of, not too far away from her. "Jason..'' She called like a whisper. He was also staring at her and then he took his eyes away from her, then he began to walk towards her. Elle''s heart was beating fast as she remembered what Kiera did the day before. "His eyes, the way they looked at me like I am a criminal. Has he perhaps found something about me?" "But No! I made sure everything about me is hidden. So howe.." "Your ice cream is melting already.." His voice said, bringing out of her thoughts. "Huh?" Jason sighed and then held her wrist. Then he pointed to the cones of ice cream that was already melting. "That.." N?velDrama.Org holds this content. "Your ice cream is melting.." He added and she smiled. "Oh! Thanks.." Elle said and immediately started licking the ice cream, her eyes were on him as she did so. He was still looking so handsome even if he was dressed casually. He was just wearing a in shirt and a well penciled Jean trouser, his eyes fell on his forehead and some parts on his right eye making him look more dashing and his fragrance. It was so sweet! "Are you done staring?" He asked and Elle looked away immediately. "I wasn''t staring. Get your facts right.." Elle said and turned to leave but he immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. "Where did you think you are going?" He asked and Elle sighed. "Jason, I.. " "I will get another ice cream, strawberry vour.." He said softly and released her hand. "You seem to love them.." He told her. "Someone special to me also loved them badly.." He added and Elle looked away. She was afraid her eyes would betray her. "Come, let''s get another one.." He said and then linked their hands together sending shivers down her spine. "By the way, how''s your little sister?" He asked and Elle froze again. Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Double trouble. "By the way, how''s your little sister?" He asked and Elle froze again. "W.. what?'' Elle asked and Jason paused. "Wny are you acting surprised? Your little sister picked my call the other day, right?" He asked and Elle faked a smile. "Yeah, she did, why are you asking about her?" Elle asked. "I just seem to like her. She''s fun to take with and for a minute, my heart felt relieved.." Jason said and smiled. It was the first time in years, she had seen him smile so genuinely. "That''s how she is. She takes after her dad in making people smile??" Elle blurted out, staring at him and he faced her. "Her dad?" "I thought you said she was adopted. Did you know her dad before?" He asked and Elle looked away. "I just.. I just said maybe she took after her dad. She might even take after mum, who knows.." Elle shrugged. Jason stopped and then turned to her before pulling her by her shoulders, bringing their faces so close. Both froze by his sudden action. Elle gulped hard. "W.. what are you doing.." She mumbled and suddenly heughed. Heughed again and then let go of her, stillughing. Elle furrowed her brows, wondering what''s wrong with him. "Why are youughing?" She asked and he stopped. "If you had seen how you looked, you looked so frightened.." He said and chuckled again and Elle smiled. "You have a very beautiful smile.." Sheplimented him and immediately Jason''s cheeks grew hot. He looked away immediately. "What''s wrong with me? Why do I act this way when I''m with her? Why am I even with her?" He asked himself anc unknown to them, someone took a picture of them. "Let''s get your ice cream.." He added and then they both walked away. "What''s your rtionship with my brother, Tyson?" Jason suddenly asked and Elle scoffed. "Why do you even think I should answer your question?" She replied him and he sighed. "I don''t poke nose but he''s still my brother. I want to know if you have good ns for him.." Elle scoffed again. "As far as I''m concerned. Your younger brother is the one pursuing me, not the other way round. You should be asking your brother if he has good ns for me.." Elle shot back. "You always love arguing to prove your point. There''s no need for that.." "I should always try to defend myself regardless the situation and I''m willing to do so in every area I find myself in.." She told him and heughed again. "You areughing again, I don''t think anything I said was funny.." Elle rolled her eyes but Jason said nothing. He started walking away still chuckling. Elle was so pissed to the core. She hurriedly went in front of him. "Do you think what I said was funny. What ¡­" "Shut up¡­" Jason said and Elle rolled her eyes. "Or what?" "I don''t mind kissing you if you don''t.." He said and Elle''s eyes widened but then she reced it with a scoff. "You are not funny, you know.." She was saying when he suddenly grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer to him. "Now you know I''m not bluffing.." He whispered, his lips almost touching hers. "I.. you¡­" "Do you seriously want me to kiss you, that''s why you are talking like this.." He whispered again but Elle quickly pushed him off. "Never, I would never want to kiss an ugly brat like you!" She snapped at him and walked to the front. Jason smiled. "She''s cute¡­" He mumbled and ran after her. Elle got to the Ice cream vendor and Jason came a secondter. "3 cones of icecream, strawberry vour.." Jason said and Elle smiled. "I wants ten cups not cones.." Elle said and Jason sighed. "You are just like her.." He mumbled. "Give what she wants.." He told the ice cream vendor. "Thanks.." Elle winked at him and faced the vendor. "And you can give him a cup too, but chocte vour. He likes that.." She said and Jason looked at her in awe. "How did you know that?" He asked. "Chocte vour is just for boring people like you.." She shrugged and he sighed while Elle smiled. She remembered fully well how they usually argue over the best vours of the ice cream they drank. "Sir, your girlfriend is really pretty. Take care of her.." The ice cream vendor said passing the ice creams to Elle. "What?!" They both echoed in unison. "He''s not my boyfriend.." "She''s not my girlfriend..'' They said again and faced each other. "Wow! That''s such a pity. You both look good together. I''m sure if you get married, you will have beautiful daughters and sons.." The ice cream vendor said. "He already has a beautiful daughter who looks like him and also takes after him.." Elle thought. "That''s never going to happen. I love someone else.." He said and Elle''s face dropped. "Don''t tell he''s still in love with my former self, Asanel!" She thought but shrugged it off. ''I also have an impending boyfriend.." She smiled and then stopped some of the ice cream into her mouth, Jason did the same also. Elle took that as a cue to ask him questions. "So what''s the name of your lover? Is she pretty?" Elle asked and Jason looked at her. "She''s very pretty. The most beautiful girl that I everid my eyes on.." He said and Elle smiled. "Even beautiful than me?" Elle said touching her chest and he nodded. "That''s a lie..'' Elle said with a smile. "It can never be. She''s prettier than you.." "That''s because you love her.." Elle added and he scoffed "Whatever, suit yourself.." Jason said. "What''s her name?" He asked and he looked at her again. "That''s none of your business.." "You sound bittered, did she reject you or what?" She asked him. Jason sighed before replying her. "Yeah, she did. For her selfish reasons. She rejected me without even thinking twice and I badly want to hate her for that but i can''t.." Jason said and Elle looked away trying to hide the hurt in her eyes. "It might not be a selfish reason but a genuine one, maybe she was not in any room to make a choice then, that''s why she had to do so.." Elle said and Jason scoffed. "That''s not it. She made a mockery of my feelings towards her. She thought it was a mistake. I was willing to take responsibility for her but she wouldn''t hear of it. She made sure to send me out of the country so that I couldn''t even be with her in herst moment. She was such a selfish lover.." "Very selfish.." He added and then faced her. Elle looked at him with guilt, she stared deeply into his eyes and emotions shed through them. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. She smiled and then pulled him into a hug surprising him. "She was not selfish. She might be hiding things from you perhaps she didn''t want you to get hurt but I''m very sure. I''m sure that she loved you! She loved you really much. Very immensely. So don''t question her love for you .." Jason sighed upon hearing that and he didn''t know when he reciprocated the hug, he wrapped his hands around her waist and hugged her more tightly. His burdened heart yet again began to lessen as he did that. Unawares to them, someone took another picture of them. **** Damien sat in the living room, his eyes glued to the phone. Elle told him to go home and that she would call him but she hasn''t up till now. His phone beeped and he quickly looked at it. It was a photo sent by the bodyguard he sent to keep an eye on Elle. His eyes widened when he saw it. It was a picture of Elle and Jason hugging. "Gosh!" Damien breathed out angrily. "She told me she has no feelings left for the guy anymore but what''s this?" He asked no one in particr and then he stood up and wore his jacket. "She seems to have forgotten the rule of our mission and that''s no falling in love. I don''t care if Jason is Kiera''s Dad. I will not hesitate to finish him up if he tries to hinder our mission in any way. I will kill him if I have to.." He told himself anc then buttoned up his jacket. He took his phone and called Elle but her line was busy. "Damn it!" He groaned and threw the phone on the couch "I have no choice than to go to that ce and stop whatever affections is growing in both of them. I''ll kill it, I swear.." He said and then took his car''s keys and then he walked out angrily. To be continued. Please note that daily updates starts next month. Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Trying to kiss her Back at the amusement park. Elle smiled as she got to her car. She then faced Jason. "Thanks a lot for today.." Jason nodded and then was about to walk away but she called him back again. "Jason!" Jason turned and faced her with an unperturbed look. "Have a sweet day.." She said with a smile and then waved at him before she entered the car. Jason stood and watched her car leave and then he smiled and then touched his chest, his heart was beating very fast. "Thank you.." He whispered. "Thanks for making me smile again.." He added and then walked away. Meanwhile Damien was watching them at a corner. He sighed and then entered the car and he drove off. ** Elle got home beaming with smiles and as she walked into the living room. She met Damien seated waiting for her. He looked kind of angry. "Dam.." She called and he looked at her. "Why do you look so pissed?" She asked him. ''Where are youing from?" Damien asked and she furrowed her brows. "What?!" "What do you mean by that?" "I asked where you areing from?'' Damien asked again and then stood up. "I don''t get. I told you I was going to go to the amusement park. I don''t get where you areing from?!" Elle retorted and folded her hands under her chest. "You saw him right! You went out with Jason! Am I right?" There was so much harshness and strict ness in his voice. Elle scoffed and shook her head. "How did you know that? You had someone follow me again.." Elle snapped at him. "I didn''t. I only asked him to be your bodyguard. And thankfully I did, I wouldn''t have known what you guys were doing.." Elle scoffed again. "I told you that I''m not a kid and I can take care of myself but you choose to do this everytime. I don''t get the need of reporting where I go to you, or who I meet up with you! We were not even doing anything wrong!" Elle yelled at him and he scoffed. "Really?!" "You guys were literally hugging and touching each other, is that how..." Damien paused and Elle sighed. "Thankfully you didn''tplete it.." Elle said and then grabbed her bag and then turned to walk away. "By the way, what''s your problem with me meeting Jason? He did¡­" "Do you still love him?" Damien asked suddenly and Elle dropped her bag. "What?!" Elle faced him. "Yeah.." "Are you still in love with him?" Elle chuckled. "It''s been seven years. It''s been seven years since we had that immature rtionship.." "That''s what you keep on saying to deceive yourself. Your feelings for Jason never died in the first ce, you were still in love with him even when you had Kiera. You even cried when you heard of his engagement to that model! So tell me, what''s that if not love?" Damien asked and Elle gulped hard. "I''m.. I''m not in love with him. I''m never going to agree with what you are saying. I just hugged him so I couldfort him. He''s still pained by Asanel''s death. That''s why.." Elle exined. "I have Kiera with me so I don''t need to be worried. I don''t need a man in my life.." "Kiera''s the prove of the love you and Jason shared. You told me she reminds you of him at times.." Damien said and then turned to walk away but then he stopped on his tracks and then faced her. "I just wanted to remind of you of the rule of our mission before you break it. You must never fall in love and if Jason manages to sway your heart then, I have no other choice than to clear him out of the way for the sess of our mission.." He said and Elle''s eues widened. "You will do no such thing, Damien. No matter what happens, you will nevery a finger on Jason or you will face my wrath. Don''t forget that he''s still Kiera''s dad.." Elle said and Damien chuckled. "All is fair in love and war, baby.." Damien replied her while Elle rolled her eyes. "Well, you shouldn''t even bother touching him cause I don''t get where you got your foolish assumptions from. I don''t love Jason and if you don''t believe me, it''s none of my concern.." Elle told him and walked away while Damien smirked. He was about to say something but then his phone rang. He smiled when he saw that it was the manager of "MIRALLAS" He answered the call immediately. "Hello.." "Yes, I''m her assistant.." "Really?" He said and then he furrowed his brows I''m confusion. Night. Elle safe in her room, packing the tiny CCTV cameras she got into her bag. She was going to make use of it in the party. Right now, she was nning to go the club to go see her fake boyfriend. She was already dressed, just to apply her make up. She stood up and stood in front of the mirror and started dressing her hair. Suddenly the scene from earlier reyed on her head, when Jason locked her hands with his. "Gosh!" She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts in her head. "What''s wrong with me?" She asked herself and then she remembered Damien''s words earlier. "That''s what you keep on saying to deceive yourself. Your feelings for Jason never died in the first ce, you were still in love with him even when you had Kiera.." She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts in her head. "I don''t love him anymore. I don''t love him. I''m just feeling guilty because I left him heartbroken.." "I don''t love him.." She told herself and then took a red lipstick and applied it on her lips. "I''m not Asanel! I''m Danielle Brown. The old stupid girl is gone and the girl who will be the mastermind of the downfall of the Madison''s is here.." She smiled and then dropped the lipstick. *** Bar. Tyson''s eyes scanned everywhere. He was looking for Elle for sometime now but he hasn''t seen her yet. He took his phone and dailed her number. She answered the call. "Where are you?" He asked. I''m here already. I''ve seen you.." She replied him and he turned back. He smiled when he saw her standing not too far away him. She walked to him and then took a seat beside him. "I''m sorry foringte.." She said. "It''s no problem.." "So how''s your mum?" He asked and she nodded. "She''s doing great. Very fine now.." Elle said and he smiled. "That''s good.." "Let''s order drinks.." He said and she nodded. He signalled to the waiter and he rushed to them immediately. "What''s your order sir?" He asked. "Two bottles of vodka¡­" "Nah¡­" "Wait.." Elle said and faced Tyson. "I''m sorry but I don''t drink.." She told him and he scoffed. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "Wait! What?" "You don''t drink. I''m really surprised.." He said and Elle took her hands to his hair, she started fondling it softly. "Sweetheart, I''m not so bad you know, I''m just like an innocent cute doll.." She winked at him and Tyson blushed heavily. "So what do you want?" The waiter asked again. "Just a bottle of vodka and a ss of orange juice.." Elle said and the waiter nodded and. Tyson brought his hands to her waist and started caressing it. Elle was slightly ufortable with the act but she had to y along. She kept on smiling at him. "So did you miss me?" Tyson asked and Elle chuckled. "Are you seriously asking me that? I missed you of course.." She said running her hands on his chin. Tyson smiled and moved closer to her. Elle froze. "What''s he trying to do?" She thought. He cupped her face and brought his lips closer to hers¡­" To be continued. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Fallen for her trap Elle stylishly moved her face and then his lipsnded on her right cheek. She scrunched her face in disgust and faked a smile before she then cupped his cheeks. Tyson sighed. "Why do I feel like you are avoiding my kiss?" He asked and she smiled widely. "Sweetheart, there are times things need to be done slowly. Like us. We need to take it slowly. This is my first time in a rtionship and it''s my first time experiencing all these. So let''s just take this pretty slow and moreover you are not my boyfriend yet.." She winked and took a sip of her orange juice. "So that means you have never fallen in love, right?" He asked and Elle smiled before nodding. "Yes.." She then ced the juice back on the table. "Then, be my girlfriend..." Tyson smiled and held her hands. Elle smirked inwardly. "No, it''s way too early. We barely know each other and I don''t have ns of getting into rtionship like that. What if you discover you didn''t have feelings for me in the first ce and we broke upter. I want to protect this fragile heart of mine. I really don''t want to get heartbroken.." Elle said with a downcast look. Tyson sighed and then pulled her into a tight embrace while she immediately rolled her eyes. "I know I''m a yboy but just know this. You are the first woman to ever make my heart flutter, the first lady I''m so serious about. The firstdy I really care for and really want to make smile and happy. I''ve really begun liking you so much, that if you leave me, it would really affect me.." Tyson says caressing her hair while Elle''s face remained expressionless. She couldn''t even raise her arms and hug him back. That was how disgusted she was feeling at this moment but she just had to get over it. "Yeah, you are also the first guy I''m liking this way. One thing is for sure, I really like you.." Elle said and then Tyson pulled away from the hug. A beautiful smile spread on his lips. "Really?" He asked and she nodded. "Say it again, say what you just said again?" "I really like you, Tyson.." Elle said and heughed. "Really? I can''t believe this. It''s so surprising that I''ll be your boyfriend, your first boyfriend. That''s great.." He said and hugged her again while Elle groaned inwardly. She raised her hands reluctantly and hugged him back. "Thank you.." He muttered and kissed her hair while Elle clenched her fists angrily. "That''s it. Now I''ve finally managed to make you fall for me. It won''t be long that you will start dancing to my tunes. I''m just waiting for the right time to use you to destroy those evil parents of yours!" She smirked. "And stupid fool! You are not my first boyfriend. I loved someone before you! Stupid!" She thought and smirked more widely. "James and Lauren Madison, say goodbye to your son for now cause I''ll make sure yo use him in tha most dangerous ways to end you all!" Elle thought. The look on her face was now dangerous. ** Jason''s Mansion. Jason sighed as he walked out of his office. He stretched tiredly and then he walked into his room. Suddenly his phone beeped and then he brought out thinking it was a message but then it was an rm. It was reminding him of Asanel''s birthday which was going to be next week. He smiled and then dropped the phone on his bed. "She''s going to turn 23 next week. I wonder what she would be if she were alive. A journalist like her mum or a CIA agent like her dad.." He said and then shook his head. "She said she never wanted to be one. Yeah! She insisted on bing a banker so she could have a lot of money.." He said and thenughed as he sat on his bed. He stoppedughing. "For the first time ever, I''m not feeling pains again about missing her. It''s no longer painful. In fact it had stopped being painful when.." He paused when he remembered Elle. "No, no.." "It''s not her.." As he was talking to himself. His phone rang and he sighed when he saw it was an unknown number but he answered the call. "Hello.." "Oh! Yes. Miguel. Of course not.." "About that, you should speak to the boards about that.." "It''s my dad''spany. Not mine. I havenno say over it..." "What?" Jason scoffed. "Nah, I''ve got mypanies to take care of..." *** The next day. MIRALLAS ~~~ Today was the day for the photoshoot. Giselle came down from her car looking beautiful as ever in her nude make up. She smirked when she recalled that Elle won''t be around. Finally, she got rid of her in one aspect. As she was still thinking, a sports car drove in and the car''s door opened. Elle came out dressed in simple t -shirt and joggers with sneakers to match. Her hair was packed into a simple ponytail and her face was bare, with no make up at all. She looked more innocent and simple without make up. Giselle''s eyes widened when she saw her. "Richard, that bastard.." She seethed and clenched her fists angrily. "He betrayed me.." Elle smiled and walked towards her. "Good morning Giselle.." She said and was about to walk away when her voice stopped her. "You should be aware of awful you look without make up.." Elle smirked and turned back. "Says someone who doesn''t even have the heart toe out with her bare face.." Giselle scoffed. "I thought the theme was no make up at all. Howe you''re still wearing one?" "That''s none of your business.." Giselle said and Elle chuckled. "All this attention you are enjoying now. It''s just for a while, I''ll get all of it back.." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Elle looked at her. "Obviously, I don''t beg for attention unlike you, who''s a desperate bitch to have one..." Elle spat and walked away. Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The feeling called Jealousy After the photo shoot were done, Elle headed directly to James''pany. They was going to be a presentation concerning a new business venture bothpanies were nning to go into. Elle smirked as she drove when she remembered the next day was going to be James'' birthday. She brought out her phone and then dailed Damien''s number. He answered the call immediately. "Yes pretty.." "Dam, stop trailing James.." Elle suddenly said and Damien sighed. "I thought we agreed on this. Trailing can actually help us, we can even find more on his illegal businesses in the country and also who is his partners are. I''m sure you know he''s not working alone.." He said immediately. Elle smiled. "I know but as we all know, James is a very smart man. He might catch on youter and that''s thest thing I want right now. Our identities can be revealed and moreover, tomorrow I''m going to be nting those CCTV cameras in his house..." "But, it''s dangerous. Why don''t I do it?" Damien asked and Elle smirked. "I can actually try. But you are right. I''ll make sure to distract those at the party while you nt thetv cameras. Tomorrow is going to be a sweet day for me.." She chuckled and Damienughed. "And..." "Can you also get a gift for my fake dad inw, I will Tyson''s fake girlfriend soon, you know.." She said and they bothughed. "What kind of gift do you want?" "I want a dangerous but exquisite gift for him.." She said and smirked. "Actually, no..." "I have a n.." She added with a wicked glint on her face. "What?" "I''ll tell you the details at home. No worries for now.." "Okay.." "I''ll be homete today. I''ll be going to a meeting with fake dad inw and also going on shopping with my fake mum inw.." Elle smirked. "Gosh! Danielle, you are really venomous. You already creeping into their lives.." "That''s what I want. She has no idea of what she''s going to face today. And my n is also to gain her trust, Lauren loves material things so much and that will mark her downfall.." Elle said and then increased the speed of the car. ** Elle knocked on the door and walked in. The board members were already there. It was obvious the meeting had already started. "I''m so sorry for beingte.." She said and sat down right opposite to Jason. He looked at her and their eyes met. She simply smiled at him while he nodded. Unknown to her, Tyson was in the room already but she didn''t notice. Tyson red at Jason angrily as he watched the both of them intract through their gazes and smiles. He was literally burning with jealousy. The meeting went on and on until it finally ended. Soon all the board members were gone excluding James, Tyson, Jason and Elle. "So, Governor, should I wish you a happy birthday in advance..'' Elle smiled and they all chuckled except Jason who was busy with his phone. "I''m sure you are aware of my birthday party tomorrow. You shouldn''t miss it, Miss Browns.." James said and stood up. "Of course not, I will definitely not miss it for anything, governor.." Elle smiled. "Ah! Yes!" "That reminds me, Miss Brown. Can you and Jason go do the sight seeing tomorrow. I won''t have time to go because of the preparations.." James said and Jason looked up. He was about to reply but Tyson beat him to it. "Dad, do you think it''s necessary to disturb Jason. I heard him saying he had a business meeting tomorrow, so no need to disturb him. I''ll go in his stead, right bro?" Tyson said with a smile. "Oh! Jason, is that true?" James asked. Elle looked at both brothers wondering what was going on. Jason scanned Tyson''s face and he realised his intentions. He was doing that so he could time alone with Elle. Suddenly Jason smirked. "No, It''s perfectly fine, Dad. I don''t have a business meeting tomorrow. It''s the day after my birthday. I''m sure Tyson heard it wrong.." Jason lied and Tyson''s eyes widened in surprise. "But..." "Dad, no worries. I will go with Miss Browns.." Jason said and took his eyes to Elle. Elle smiled and he returned it also while Tyson clenched his fists angrily. He doesn''t understand why he gets angry when Elle and his brother interact. What more if they stay close to each other? "But Dad.." "No buts, Tyson. We have work here. Don''t forget your brother has hispanies to attend to. This company is yours to attend to and there are lots of work to be done. So never mind, Jason will go.." James said and Tyson forced out a smile. "Since everything is settled now. I really have to go. I''m going shopping with Ma''am Lauren and I wouldn''t want to keep her waiting..'' Elle said and grabbed her bag and then she walked out with her heels clicking. "I have to go too, Dad. See you..'' Jason said and made to walk out but his father voice''s stopped him. "You must attend my birthday party tomorrow. You are not always around on my birthday.." He said and Jason clenched his fists tightly before turning to him. "Dad, I''ll.. I''ll try toe.." Jason said and walked out. He sighed as he did. He knew what his father was trying to do. He was definitely trying to remind him of the ugly thing that happened. He got to his car and as he made to open it. A voice stopped him again. Jason scoffed and turned back to see Tyson. Tyson walked to him with a smile one voumd easily tell was fake. "What?" Jason asked bluntly. "I''m sure I heard you clearly. The business meeting is going to take ce tomorrow.." Tyson smirked and Jason scoffed. "So?" "Why did you do that then?" "It''s none of your business.." Jason said and made to open his car. "Do you like her? Do you like my girlfriend?" Tyson asked and Jason scoffed, preventing himself from laughing. "Your girlfriend?!" "Well, If that''s what you are thinking, then so be it. I actually don''t want to waste my time. See you when I see you.." Jason said and then opened his car''s door and entered it. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Tyson clenched his fists and stormed away angrily. Jason sighed and picked up his phone and then dailed his secretary''s number. "Postpone tomorrow''s conference.." He said. "What? But sir, I.. " "I organized the conference right? So postpone it and if you argue with me again consider 20% of your sry gone.." Jason said and hing up. He sighed again and rested his head on the sterling. "Gosh! Why did I do that? Why was I angry at the fact that Tyson was going alone with Elle? That shouldn''t concern me but .." He paused again and then started the ignition. "I''ll forget it.." He said and then drove off. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Her sweet revenge Danielle and Lauren came out of the car giggling as they walked into the shopping mall. "Oh! So you met the famous kpop singers Bts.." Elleughed. "Yeah, they were really cool in person. Now I understand why most of ourdies are fangirling over them. They are handsome too.." Lauren smiled. As they walked in, people started greeting them. LA VITA was one of the best and most expensive shopping malls in the city. Most celebrities and prominent personalities visit the mall asionally. "Wee, Firstdy.." "Oh! That''s Danielle Brown, She''s back in the country.." "She''s very pretty, my gosh!" Elle smiled. "I know right? I love them too. I''ve only met the female groups, not the male, I think I met the group called Twice first. And trust me, they are really pretty and talented. And then I met ckpink next, gosh, those girls are pretty too and their voices are so unique but I would love to meet Bts one day.." Elleughed. "Don''t tell me you are crushing on them?" Lauren asked. "No! I only have eyes for one person and that''s Tyson.." Elle said and Lauren smiled. "Woah! Never knew you had this deep crush on my son. Are you both couples now?" "No, not yet. We were still taking things slowly.." Elle replied and Lauren nodded. "That''s good. It would be nice having you as my daughter inw.." Lauren said and Elle chuckled. "I''m more lucky, Ma''am.." She said and Laueen hugged her. Elle immediately rolled her eyes and pulled out of the hug. "We should go do some shopping immediately.." Elle said and they both giggled. Meanwhile Lauren smirked. "My son really hit the jackpot with her. We will be more wealthy and affluent when she bes our family. I can''t wait for that day.." Lauren thought and faked another smile at Elle who returned it. But both women knew what their sweet smile entails,it was not an innocent smile. **** Night. Elle walked into the house with shopping bags. Damien was waiting for her in the living room. "You came much morete than I expected.." "Well, I had to y along with my fake mum inw and she''s falling for it.." Elle said and then dropped the bags. She then removed her heels. "I got the CCTV cameras you asked for.." Damien said and passed her a bag. Elle chuckled and then opened the bag. She brought out the button sized CCTV cameras and smiled again. "Just the perfect one I need.." "They won''t suspect a thing at all with this.." Elle smiled and continued staring at the camera. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. And just like that, the night went and morning came. As usual, Elle came out of her room dressed for work already. She was going to head to the office first and then go site seeing with Jason. Damien was not at home. He only told her he had to be somewhere but she doesn''t even know where. Elle walked out of her mansion and then to her car, she opened it and drove away. *** Tyson sat in the office, running his hand into his hair. He was not in the mood at all. Yesterday he awaited Elle''s call but none came in. He misses her so badly and now she will be going sight seeing with his brother today. A knock was heard on the door and he sighed. "Who''s it?" He groaned. "Come in.." He replied and the door opened followed by the sounds of heels clicking. "Hi, brother inw.." A feminine voice said and Tyson looked up to see Giselle smiling innocently and brightly at him. "Giselle.." He called and then stood up. "What brings you here?" He asked and Giselle''s smile widened the more. *** Madison''s Mansion James sat in the living room with a ss of wine in his right hand. He was smiling as he watched the news. His birthday was all over the news. "Happy birthday hunny.." Lauren''s voice came and Jamesughed. Lauren smiled and walked to him with a ss of wine in her right hand also. "Hon, you and the kids have wished today already.. " He said and Lauren smiled. "So?" She said and then dropped the wine on the table. Then she sat close to her husband. "I''m just happy that I am able to celebrate your every birthday. You know I missed some years also.." She pouted. James smiled and also dropped his ss of wine. Then he hugged her. "I''m happy you''re with me too.." He said with a smile. "You know it took us years and a lot of hardwork to be together. We had to get rid of the stumbling block between us and she.." "Don''t talk about her.." James cut her off. "That reminds me, has Jason called you yet to wish you?" Lauren asks and James sighs and shakes his head. "You know how your son is. He won''t call. You also know fully well how he feels about it. It was so close to his mu¡­" "I said I don''t want to hear anything about her.." James said again and Lauren nodded. "Fine.." She took the ss of wine. "Cheers to 55th age of living in this earth.." She smiled and Jamesughed. He took his sses and just as they were about to clock their sses together. A maid walked in. "I''m sorry governor for disturbing but you have a parcel.." She said and then have them a wrapped box. "Okay.." Lauren said and ced the box on the table. "Hope you had it scanned thoroughly?" James asked. "Yes sir, the security team did so and they said it''s safe.." She replied. "It''s fine, you can leave..'' Lauren added and the maid left. "Maybe a citizen left a gift for you?" Lauren says with a smile and she starts unwrapping the gift. "The people love you too much.." Lauren chuckled while James just smiled. She opened the box and then her eyes widened when she saw it. She screamed and then ran off. Even James was not left out, he stood up hurriedly and scurried off his life. "My gosh, what''s it?" He asked his trembling wife. "It''s a snake.." She yelled and James'' eyes widened. He took slow steps closer to really confirm it. "Hun,e back. What are you doing?" She asked. "Security! Security!" Lauren yelled. Soon they came rushing in. James''s eyes widened when he saw the snake but the most surprising part of it was that the snake was not moved. It was glued on the spot. He moved closer to it and then he saw it clearly. It was not a real snake! But a toy snake. James sighed out in relief and then grabbed the toy snake before throwing it down. "Governor, are you okay?" The head guard asked but James signalled him to stop talking. Then he noticed a picture. It wad a picture of Lauren and him that had been marked red. And then a card. He picked the card and read. "Happy birthday governor, hope you liked my gift.." James clenched his fists angrily. "Who sent this?!" He yelled. ** Elle came down from the car and lolled around. She had gotten to the ce already. Her phone rang, she answered the call immediately. "It''s done.." Damien said and she chuckled. "That''s it. They are yet to see.." "Hey!" A masculine''s voice boomed behind her. She turned and flinched in fear and as she did, her leg slipped, she lost her bnce, she closed her eyes in fear anticipating what came next and just as she was about tond on the ground, a hand grabbed her waist protectively. She grabbed unto his shirt as he pulled her up, their faces so close. Just then she opened her eyes and her breath hitched when she saw him. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Chapter 29 THE PARTY Just then she opened her eyes and her breath hitched when she saw him. "Ja.. jason.." She mumbled and he smiled. She gently released her grip on him while he helped her adjust well. "I.." "You''re here already.." She said and he nodded. "I don''t waste time. Moreover, let''s get this over with. I have another meeting to attend to.." He said and she scoffed. "You always have meetings, don''t you have time to rest?" She asked him as they began to walk to the site. "You won''t understand.." He simply said. Elle nodded. "I can never understand a boring guy like you.." Jason paused. "Whatever you say.." "How about your sister?" He suddenly asked and Elle''s eyes widened. "Why.. I mean why are you suddenly asking about her?" Elle returned the question. "No reason. I just felt like hearing her voice again. I like her. She''s very smart and outspoken. Her parents should be very lucky to have her.." He said and Elle paused. When he said that, she felt guilty immediately. Guilty that she was keeping him from his daughter! Her eyes were starting to get teary. Should she tell Jason the truth? Will he ever forgive her after learning the truth? Will her daughter be safe from the Madison''s. All she wanted was for her daughter to ge safe and also her revenge mission to be sessful. She would literally do anything to achieve that. "I''m sorry Jason. You deserve to know the truth but then I.. " "Hey, are you okay?" Jason asked and Elle Elle jolted out of her thoughts. "You seem lost, are you sure, you are okay?" He asked and she smiled. "Of course.." She nodded. "How did you even get your sister? She was adopted right? Was it as a baby?" Jason asked curiously and Elle gulped hard. "Shouldn''t we be focusing on our work rather than discuss personal matters.." Elle said with a smile. "Why do I feel like you are avoiding my questions?" Jason rebutted and Elle''s smile faded. She was getting nervous now. "I. I''m not. I just feel like we shouldn''t talk about personal matters when working. Is it bad?'' Elle asked. Jason shrugged. "You are right but¡­" "But I would really love to speak with her again, even just for once. Can you call her.." He paused and sighed. "Pleaseee.." He added reluctantly and Elle smiled. "You added please to it, you are getting some manners now.." She said and then patted his hair. "What are you doing?" He asked as he took her hands down. Elle stared at him and smiled. "Sometimed you look cute and at times you just look in! Boring." She shrugged and continued walking. "I want to ask a question? If you give me a good answer, I''ll let call my sis but if not.." Jason scoffed and tucked his hands in his pockets. "What?" "Do you still love that girl? Your first love?" She asked and he sighed. "That I cannot answer.." "Well, then.." She was still taking when her leg hit a stone and yet again, she lost her bnce and almost fell but Jason was quick to catch her again. "And again.." He mumbled. "Why do I feel like you are doing this on purpose so you can be in my arms?" Jason smirked and Elle''s eyes widened. "Leave me!" She pushed him away and scoffed. "Why would want to be in your arms? I told you are not my type.." "But you still find me handsome?'' He asked and she paused before she rolled her eyes. "Whatever! Forget it! I won''t let you call my sister!" She snapped at him and walked away leaving him behind and Jason chuckled as he watched her. "I won this time.." He said. "I''ve never won against her in any argument , I''m d I did this time.." He added and continued watching her. "By the way why are you wearing heels on site? What if you get injured?" He shouted enough for her to hear. Elle stopped and turned to face him, ring at him. "I would get care and concern from a dog than you!" She yelled and then continued to walk on. Jason held his stomach andughed loudly. "She looks so cute when pissed!'' He added and started walking after her. *** 30 minutester. They were both done with the site seeing and were headed back. I think this ce is okay. It''s better as a factory, don''t you think?" He asked Elle who just nodded. She folded her lips together and sighed. She was feeling pains in both of her legs and now she actually regretted using heels. "And where are your otherpanies based apart from Australia, New Zend, America and Hong Kong?" "It''s based in the UK also, China, Russia, Egypt and Japan.." "I''m nning to have one in South Korea and Taiwan soon.." She mumbled tiredly and he faced her. He noticed the look of distress on her face and then looked at her legs. "Next time, don''t wear heels when going site seeing again.." He said and she rolled hee eyes. "Like you care.." Jason sighed and then did the unexpected. He crouched before her. "Get on.." He mumbled. She was almost tempted to break into a smile but she held it back. "Don''t worry, I''m fine.." She said and walked to the front. As she was going, all of a sudeen; she couldn''t feel her leg on the ground anymore and then it dawned on her. "Hey! What are you doing?'' She said kicking her legs into the air. "I told you, you should be honoured when I give you kind gestures, I don''t forget for anyone.." "But I never asked you to do so?" She snapped at him. "And I don''t take no for an answer. You don''t refuse me. Got it?!" He said and Elle scoffed. "Now wrap your hands around my shoulders, if you don''t want to fall badly.." He said and Elle reluctantly wrapped her hands around him. "Thank you.." She whispered and he looked up, their eyes met and and at that time, it was like a slow mo for the them. Jason took his eyes away. "It''s not free! You have to repay me for it?!" He said and Elle hit his shoulder. "Hey! That''s not fair!" "Put me down now!" She yelled and Jason chuckled. "Not happening!" This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "I won''t repay for anything.." She added. "You wouldn''t dare!" "Hey!.." Their voices trailed off. And soon it was night. The time for James Madison''s birthday party. James sat in his room adjusting his tuxedo. The door opened and Lauren walked in, elegantly dressed and looking very beautiful.. "Hun, are you thinking of what happened today?" She asked and he stood up with a sigh. "I''ve not been able to get who sent that? Who is the enemy that sent it? I swear I won''t spare that person when I get him.." He said and Lauren hugged him. "Let''s forget about it for now. It''s your birthday party and the guests are even waiting outside. Guess what? Jason came though he said he would be leaving soon.." Lauren said and James smiled. "I''m d he came..'' He mumbled. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The party II Meanwhile Tyson sat down with a drink, his eyes flickering around. Just then he sighted his brother walking in. Tyson scoffed and stood up. "I thought he never attends Dad''s birthday party. So what''s he doing here?" He asked himself. Tyson smirked and walked to him. "Hi bro.." He smiled and Jason nodded. "It''s a surprise to see you here.." Tyson added. "Why?" Jason furrowed his brows. Tyson chuckled lightly. "Is that even a question, Jason?" "We all know you don''t attend Dad''s birthday party. You always im it reminds of the sad event, I meant your mum''s dea.." Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Shut up!" Jason said coldly. His eyes were also fixated on Tyson and the coldness in his eyes was visible. He also clenched his fists tightly. Tyson chuckled. "It''s been years bro, get over it.. she''s gone and so is your lover. They are both gone, you should get used to people leaving you.." Tyson said and Jason immediately grabbed his shirt. "Tyson, don''t make me forget the fact that we are brothers!" He warned and released his shirt. "So how did the site seeing go with my girlfriend. Did you have a good time?" Tyson smirked and Jason scoffed. "Now I know why you are so pissed. I went out with Elle and not your girlfriend, as far as I''m concerned. She told me you both are not couples.." Tyson remained quiet and Jason smirked. "And about having a good time, I did. She was very fun to be with. Anyways, i need to see dad.?" He added and was about to walk away but then he paused and then leaned closer to Tyson''s hear, then he whispered. "I think I''m starting to like her. Girls like her are my type.." He smiled and Tyson clenched his fists. "See youter.." Jason said and turned to leave but then his eyes widened when he saw someone and he stood frozen to the spot. Tyson looked at him wondering why he looked so lost. His eyes followed what he was looking at and then his jaws dropped upon seeing it. It was Elle making her grand entrance and as usual she stole the spotlight as she was looking beautiful and hot at the same time. She was putting on a red long sleeve backless mini gown which had glitters on it and her hair was packed into pigtails and it was curled at the base giving her this secy teenage looking vibe. Her make up was smooth, nor exaggerated but elegant also and it made her look so hot. Even the guests were not left out, Giselle who walked in after her got so angry that she didn''t receive any attention like usual. The brothers were also lost staring at her while Elle kept on smiling as she approached them while murmurs continued, most of them were talking of how beautiful she was. Elle got to them and smiled. "Hey.." She waved at them and both of them came to their senses. "What''s with your faces?" Elle asked and Jason sighed. "Hii.." He said and then made to go but then she grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. "Are you leaving because I came here?" Elle asked and Jason sighed. "No.." "I figured out to give you both some time.." Elle scoffed. "Why?" She asked and Tyson rolled his eyes, his eyes glued to Elle''s right hand which was still holding Jason''s. He stylishly moved closer and then grabbed Elle''s hand, separating Jason''s and her hand. "He''s right?" "Aren''t you my date today?" He asked and Elle Elle furrowed her brows. "What?" "Of course not. I''m no one''s date. I''m the Aunt Lauren''s date.." Elle said and chuckled but both brothers didn''t chuckle. "Excuse me.." Jason said and then walked away . Elle sighed. "Still as cold as always.." She mumbled. "He should try to forget it. I''m sure his mum won''t be happy to see him this way.." She thought. As Jason made his way to his dad''s room, Giselle ran to him and immediately linked their arms together. Jason was surprised. He turned and faced her. "What are you doing?" He asked her and he removed his hands from hers. "Chill, I''m still your fiancee. Our families has not called our wedding off remember?" She smiled and Jason scoffed. "Giselle, for peace sake. Leave me alone, you wouldn''t want my dad''s birthday party ruined. I''m pretty sure you know what I can do.." Giselle moved back slowly and gulped hard. His cold voice already sending shivers down her spine. "I''ll never let our marriage get called off.." Thirty minutester. The party had already started and the senator was giving his speech right now. Elle looked up and both her and Jason''s eyes met. She immediately looked away. That''s how it had been since. Their eyes will asionally meet and they would look away or continue staring at each other. Elle bit her lower lip in frustration. "Damn! When did this feelings start again? I thought I was over him? When did I start falling for his charms?" She asked herself and just then her phone beeped. It was a message from Damien. "The coasts are clear now. You can make your move.." She read and immediately tucked her phone in her bag. She looked around and noticed most of the audience were lost in the senator''s speech while others are busy taking selfies. She stood up immediately. "Where are you going?" Tyson asked and Elle faked a smile at him. "To the rest room, I''m kinda feeling pressed.." She told him anc held her stomach. "I can go with you.. He offered and Elle quickly shook her head. "In fine. I''ve been here once. I still remember it clearly.." She told him and then walked away. Tyson sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if she really wants to be around me.." He mumbled. *** Elle walked first into the living room and looked around. She smirked and then opened her bag, she brought out the stic bag and then brought out the cameras also. She quickly moved to the tv and fixed it at it''s back and then fixed some on the sofa and table. As she was standing up, a maid walked in. "Ma''am.." She called and Elle smiled nervously. "What are you doing here?" "Hum! Actually I was already on my way out. I was just heading to the rest room.." She said and then walked out leaving the makd confused. She got to the main passage and smirked. There were different bedrooms everywhere but the problem is where she could find the master''s bedroom. She began checking the rooms one by one. Her phone rang and she immediately answered the call. "Dam.." "You only have fifteen minutes left, be fast.." "Okay.." She said she hung up. After a while, she saw Tyson''s room and she quickly fixed the cameras everywhere. Another while, she found the master''s bedroom, she fixed thetv cameras almost everywhere. As she was walking away, she looked to the right and found out that an office was there. Elle checked her wristwatch. She had only four minutes left. She quickly opened the door and then walked in. She fixed the cameras well there too. As she was about to head out, she saw a big safe there. As she walked to it, her phone rang. She answered it immediately. "Time'' s up! Get out of there now.." Damien yelled. "But Dam, there''s a safe here and I''m sure there are important things in it. Things that could implicate James!" She said and Damien groaned. "Just get out of Elle! Now! I''m sure they have begun looking for you.." He snapped at her however Elle paid no heed. She walked to the safe and noticed it couldn''t be opened without a password. "Shit!" She snapped. "Wait, I''m going to do something now.." He said and then the lights went off. Elle smirked and then began to tiptoe outside. As soon as she got out, she sighed. She had not even walked so far when the lights turned on. Elle rolled her eyes and looked up, her breath hitched at who she saw. Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Busted Elle''s breath hitched when she saw who was standing in front of her. It was Giselle. "Oh no! Not again!" She thought and bit her lower lip. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Elle faked a smile and walked towards Giselle who was giving her a suspicious look. "We meet again.." Giselle smirked and Elle smiled more widely. "And everytime we meet, you always here. Isn''t it suspicious? And also it looks like you areing from uncle''s room. Why is that?" Giselle asked and folded her hands under her chest. Elle scoffed. "Why would Ie out from the governor''s room? I just went to the restroom and it happens that the route to it is the ce. Do you have a problem with that?" Elle asked and rose her eye brows. "No, but I have a problem with the lights also going off when you are here. You remember the other time, right?" Giselle asked and Elle smirked. "I don''t think it''s my fault for that. And moreover I don''t I should be exining myself to you.." Elle winked at her and turned to walk away but her voice stopped her. "Are you really that shameless?" Elle shrugged and turned back "Excuse me.." She said and Giselle scoffed. "Don''t act like you don''t understand what I am saying?" Giselle told her. "You want both brothers right? Both Jason and Tyson?" Giselle said and Elle smirked. "Not my fault, they find me sexy. I mean who wouldn''t. I''m not some in Jane like you.." Elle winked at her and Giselle clenched her fists angrily. "Oh really! And I wouldn''t be surprised if you got this character from your mum, who knows she might be a slut instead..." Elle''s eyes reddened and she didn''t know when she pped her hard across the cheek. Giselle gasped and held her right cheek. "Don''t you ever insult my mum! I won''t tolerate any insults against her!" Elle yelled at her. "How dare you try to hit me?!" Giselle said and tried to hit her also but then Elle held her hand and then pped her with the other hand. "Don''t try messing with me.." She warned with a cold look and then released her hand. As she was about to go, Giselle grabbed her hair from behind and started dragging it. Meanwhile Jason and Tyson also walked in at that moment and when they saw what was happening, they rushed to them. Elle pushed Giselle off with ease and then grabbed her hair. "I told you to never mess with me!" She yelled and tried to hit her again but Jason held her hand from behind. ** Damien walked into the room where the media team were in. He was putting on their uniform and also had a fake Id as well. He had also sessfully stopped the CCTV cameras from working when Elle was infiltrating their house. "Hey, John.." One of them called him and he looked up. "We are going to collect our food, we will be back soon. When it''s five minutes Tim''s, please upload the video of the governor and his charity works.." He said and Damien nodded. They walked out and Damien smirked. "Now it''s the time to put our ns in motion.." He said and then brought out a sh. *** "Wait, Elle.." He said and she hijacked her hand from him. "Before you take your fiancee''s side, ask her what she did?" Elle red at Giselle who simply smirked. "Ja.. Jason, I swear I didn''t do anything. I sawing out of uncle''s room and I confronted her but she pped me immediately.." Giselle said and started shedding fake tears. Elle scoffed. "I don''t think I should exin myself to anyone. Whatever you guys think of me, it''s non of my business.." Elle said. "I don''t care what''s the beef between you both, but just don''t cause a scene at the party.." Jason said and looked at Elle whose hair was scattered all over her face. "You don''t need to exin to me cause I know exactly how Giselle is.." He muttered and Elle smiled a little. Then Jason walked away. "Baby, are you okay?" Tyson said and made to touch her hair but she put his hand down. "I''m fine.." She added coldly and walked away also leaving Giselle and Tyson. There was silence for a minute until Giselle spoke up. "You should be careful of her, that snake is cunning..'' Tyson smirked and looked at her, giving a dangerous cold look. "Don''t you ever refer to her as a snake. She has a name and if you call her by that, it would be better you don''t say anything about her at all.." "But.." Tyson turned to leave but then paused. "Sister inw, I''ve always adored she respected you but don''t you ever insult Elle again or I might lose all the respect I have for you.." He said and walked away leaving Giselle stunned. "They both are totally wiped by that scheming girl.." She said and sighed. ** After Elle arranged her hair, she got back to her seat and sat on it. Her phone beeped again and she smiled when she read the message. "Pretty, wait for it.." Elle smirked and looked up. "This is just the beginning.." She muttered. Lauren walked up to the stage and then took a mic. "Thanks for joining us today to celebrate our great governor. So now, we want to show you all video that''s dedicated to the governor also.." She smiled. "Okay, Media team, you can start now.." She said and then cand down. The screen was nk at first and everyone watched keenly. Even Elle''s eyes were glued to the screen. Then it started. "Dedicated to Governor James Madison.." A suspenseful song started ying in the background and then the video fully began. "You pretend like you care about the people but you don''t, you embezzled the funds of the people and then stole the money meant for the orphanage homes, you gave them half and made them suffer.." Everyone gasped. James and Lauren were shocked to the core, even their sons were also surprised. "What''s it? Stop the video, right now!" James yelled and stood up. However the video continued. "Have you forgotten the innocent lives you''ve killed, those you killed to attain their wealth and those you killed because they found out something about you. Or have you forgotten the incident seven years ago, could the fire that killed the famous reporter and her daughter just happen. It was definitely plotted! All by you!" Murmuring increased now and James held his aid stick trembling. "You better confess before I have evidence to implicate you! This is warning!" Then the video turned off. James immediately ran to the stage and held the mic. Some people had already stood up preparing to leave even the reporters were not spared also. They already began several pictures and videos of the incident. "My people, this is not true. You guys know this is verymon in the political system. People defame each other just to look right in front of the citizen.." "I swear¡­" As he was talking, a gunshot was heard and immediately every where scattered, people began to scamper for safety. Elle smirked as she watched. "Mission aplished!" She smiled but thrn someone grabbed her hand. She turned back to see Jason ring at her. "You witch! It was all your n, right?" Elle''s heart started racing. "What do you mean?" She asked in fear. "Do you think I''m a fool. I''m not. I know this all your n. I had you investigated because you looked so suspicious but just that I never you would do this. How dare you?!" He yelled angrily. Elle''s eyes widened and she shook her head. "I.." "Now my dad was shot, I''ll kill you!" He yelled with reddened eyes and then grabbed her neck roughly and tightly, choking her while she gasped for breath. "No.. no.. Ja..." "Shut up! You devil! I''ll kill you.." Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Chapter 32 It felt so real "Now my dad was shot, I''ll kill you!" He yelled with reddened eyes and then held neck roughly and tightly, choking her. "Ja.. Jason.." She called in muffled breaths. "Ja.. son, your father is a monster! He.. ki.. killed my parents.." Elle struggled to say and Jason scoffed, tightening his hands on his neck. "How?!" "As far as I''m concerned, your mum is still alive!" He yelled at her tightening his grip the more. "Your parents killed my parents! They wiped out the Anderson''s family and I''m the only one left, I''m the only one who.. survived!" Jason immediately left her when he heard that. "What?" "What do you mean?" He asked. "As far I''m concerned, Asanel and her parents died a long time ago and it was a fire ident.." Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Elle red at him angrily. "Yes! And I''m Asanel! I''m Asanel Anderson!" She yelled and the remaining people turned to her. Turns out the governor was only shot in the arm, he was beside Lauren who was holding unto him. "What?! Are you nuts? Jason yelled. Even Tyson and Giselle were surprised. "Do you remember what I told you before you left the country?" "I told you your parents were evil! Remember! But you turned a blind eye to it. Your stupid step mother set my house on fire and my mum lost her life. My face was badly burnt, that''s why I had to change my face.." Everyone looked at her stunned. "I almost lost my life and that of my baby!" She yelled again in tears and everyone''s eyes widened except Lauren. "Baby?!" "What baby?!" Elle smiled bitterly at Jason. "I was pregnant, you fool. I got pregnant with your child!" She yelled again in tears and Jason''s jaws dropped. "W..what?" He whispered. "And nod my daughter has ridiculous health issues because of it! I will not spare you guys.." Elle said and then opened her bag, she hurriedly brought out a gun and everyone gasped. In a few moments, guards has already surrounded her. "Wait.." Jason said almost in tears. "Dad, What''s she saying?" James only smirked and so did Lauren. He then turned to the guards. "Shoot.." Jason''s eyes widened and he immediately ran towards Elle and then blocked her with his body, thus receiving a bullet in his arm. Elle gasped and held him. "I''m sorry Asanel, I wasn''t there for you when you needed me. I''m really sorry.." He said and tears fell from her eyes. "I hope you forgive me!" Elle hugged him tightly. "I''m sorry because I have to do this.." She smiled and then pushed him away gently. She then pointed her gun at Lauren. "I''ll kill you first.." She yelled and then shot her. The bullet rammed into her head and she fell down dead immediately. Tyson''s eyes widened. He couldn''t believe it. He ran to his mum and held her cold hands in his weeping butterfly. The governor just clenched his fists angrily. Then she turned to the governor. "I''ll.. " She was about to talk when a bullet hit her in her right arm. She smirked and then began shooting in different directions, the others immediately scampered for safety but Elle had already gunned down almost all of the guards. She sighted James and as she was about to shoot him, a gun shot was heard behind her. She gasped and turned back to see Jason. He was coughing out blood. Then she saw a guard bringing down his gun, he was trying to shoot her but Jason took the bullet yet again. Angrily, she shot the guard multiple times and she ran towards Jason immediately, not only her, James and Giselle did too. She got him, then crouched before him in tears and then ced his head on herps. "Jason, please hang on there.." "Please hang on there.." She cried bitterly. "You still have to spend time with your daughter. Kiera always asks of you. You can''t leave me when I just found you!" She cried and Jason smiled. "I''m d that we have our daughter. She will continually remind you of our bond, our love.." Elle shook her head in tears. "I love you Jason, don''t leave me please.." She cried. "I love you too.." He said and then his eyes shut. "NOOOOOO!" She yelled in tears. "Elle.." "Elle.." A familiar voice called out her name. She turned to see Jason holding her hand. She looked around. Every where was still chaotic. People were still running for safety. "Elle, what are you thinking?" He snapped at her. "Let''s get going.." He said and Elle rushed to him, pulling him into a tight hug confusing him. "I''m so relieved.." She smiled and broke the hug. "Where''s the governor?" She asked. "He''s safe. The guards escorted him safely already.." Jason said. "That''s good.." She smirked. "Every thing went ording to n, surely the people will start have doubts about him.." She thought. "Let''s hurry.." He said and they both walked off. ** Later. Elle got into the car and sighed. "It''s a relief. It felt so real! I thought I lost him again.." She said and held her chest. "Gosh! The only thinking I liked about it was killing the stupid governor and his wife.." She said and then her phone rang. She had expected it to be Damien but it was Kiera. She smiled and answered the call. "Baby.." She called. "Mum, you lied again. You said you areing soon but no! You haven''t.." Kiera grouched and Elle chuckled. "I''m sorry baby. I''ve been caught up in work here. I wille back soon.." "That''s what you have been telling me but it''s not true.." Kiera said. "I''ve told grandma that we areing to New Zend soon, if you don''te.. " Kiera said and Elle nodded. "Love you princess.." She said and hung up. She smiled and her smiled faded when she remembered Jason. "Why am I feeling so guilty?" She asked herself and she looked up. From the mirror, she saw someone sitting at the back seat all dressed in ck and her eyes widened. "No need to fret, pretty. I heard everything.." The masculine''s voice came. Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Her huge n Elle sighed and breathed out in relief. "Dam, are you stupid?'' She yelled at him and he chuckled. "How do you like the n?" He asked and she smirked. "It was sweet, very sweet.." She then smiled. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "I''m sure the governor didn''t expect this at all.." Damienughed. "Of course, it was a huge blow to them. If you had seen the way he was panting and disregarding all the allegations. It was so obvious he was scared..." Sheughed again. "I''m sure people will start to loose their trust in him. The news must have spread like wild fire.." Damien said and Elle nodded. "We need to find out what the next step is and thankfully, we had CCTV cameras inserted everywhere and also the voice recorder..." Elle said and Damien smiled. "Then, do you still need to pretend that you like Tyson, I mean, you can just cut off the act.." He said and Elle shook her head. "Nah, he''s still useful. Very useful.." Elle smiled. "But..." Damien forced out a smile and then nodded. ** James got to his room and immediately he broke the flower vase into pieces. "Aaaargh!" He yelled and crashed the tv too. "Hunny!" Lauren screamed behind him and James sighed, breathing heavily. "I''m not going to let them ruin my career. All what I''ve worked for. How dare they?!" He yelled angrily and Lauren sighed. "I''m also confused. Who could be doing this to us? I really want to know? Who could it be? Why are they hell bent on ruining us?'' She asked and James sighed. "It has to be someone who knows about all my secret, yes.." James mumbled. "But who?" Lauren asked. "All my friends and business partners are loyal to me. We have sessfully built our empire together and I don''t think they will dare betray me except.." He paused and faced Lauren. ''Except Langford. He might be the one.." James said with widened eyes and Lauren shook her hear in denial. "Hun, what are you saying? Langford has been our family friend for years, he''s your best friend and he knows every damn thing about us, so how would he betray us? Why would he if he had not find so years ago.." Lauren yelled at him and James ran his hands into his hair. "Because he didn''t have a reason then, but now he has one!" James replied her hotly and she sighed. "We had a fight recently. He wants me to fund his election and he will be running for governor next year¡­" James said and Lauren furrowed her brows. "What?!" "Langford did that?" "Do you think I would lie about that? I just decided to keep it a secret from you since my birthday was near.." "But.." "Don''t try to vouch for him. Langford has bitten more than he can chew¡­" "Are you sure he did it?" "Why are you defending him? I''m sure he did it. I clearly told him I can''t fund his elections cause I want to run as governor again!" "But hun, you should aim higher. You have been governor here for seven years already. What more did you want?" "Gosh! Lauren, you talk as if you were not with me when all these happened. You clearly know I spent the three years by luck. Martin died, I was the vice governor so I had to take over. And no! I''m still going to run for governor.." James said and Lauren sighed. "Okay, Hun. Just calm down and talk things over with Langford. He might¡­." "I seriously don''t understand why you are defending him. He clearly threatened to ruin me because I refused to fund his elections. Isn''t he content being the mayor? I helped him be the mayor and this is how he rebels. I''m going to make him pay.." James said with a cold look and clenched fists. "Hun, just calm down. Let''s sort this carefully. First of all, have a meeting with them all and then clear your name. I''m sure the public won''t forget all what you have done for them just because of a stupid rumor.." Lauren said and he nodded. Then she embraced him. "Langford, how dare he? How dare he try to sabotage my husband? I don''t think he can.." She thought. "Or is he doing this because of me? That fool. I will not spare him.." ** Elle and Damien smirked listening to their conversation and at the same time watching them. "Wow! I knew they had connection also in politics. They can''t only be the corrupt government officials! Mayor John Langford is part of them and he is even James''s best friend!" "It''s a beautiful connection.." She said with a smile. "Incase you didn''t know Damien, I met Mayor Lanford in Australia six months ago at '' the world''s business conference.." "And guess what?" Damien looked at her keenly. "That fool tried flirting with me at the party.." Damien chuckled. "Of course, who wouldn''t. You are beautiful.." He said and Elle chuckled. "I ignored him. But then, I think this is the right time.." "What''s your n?" Damien asked. "Kidnapping him.." She replied. "What?!" "Kidnap him..'' "Yeah, we have to make sure he''s safe. I''m very sure James will be hellbent on killing him. But we can''t let that happen. He''s the evidence and witness to James'' evil doings, the evidence to my parents death and both Kiera and I attempted murder. We need him!" Elle said. "Okay, so how do we go about it?" He said. Elle smirked and then picked up her phone then she ced a call to the governor. He picked at the second beep. "Yes, Miss Brown.." His voice came. "I''m really sorry, Governor. I just wanted to ask of how you were doing. I left the party hastily because of the chaos. I''m sorry I couldn''t stay.." "No, it''s nothing, Miss Browns. You had a right to save your life first. I don''t me you.." James replied. "Just take good care of your health, governor..: "Yes, thanks for your concern. Goodnight!" He said and hung up. Elle smirked again. "Have a good sleep when you can cause another chaotic event will hit you again and you won''t be able to handle it.." Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Secrets Elle''s room. Elle adjusted her night gown and then released the band on her hair, letting her blonde hair fall freely on her back. She then walked to the bed andy on it, reminiscing on what happened earlier. She sighed when she remembered her wild imaginations. It was really scary. Suddenly her phone rang and she groaned and took it. It was a video call. From Jason. Her eyes widened and she sprang up. "Oh my gosh! What do I do?" "Why''s he calling me?" She asked herself. "Let''s just pick it to find out.." She mumbled and then she cleared her throat. Then answered the call. "Why are you calling thiste?" She asked. "Is it sote?'' He asked with sarcasm. "Oh! It''s 11:30 PM. Isn''t it sote?" Elle said. "Don''t tter yourself. I just called to ask about the project.." Elle smirked. "Thiste?" "Yeah, it''s not so bad..'' He replied and Elle shook her head. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Just admit it, you called to see if I was fine.." Elle said and Jason sighed. "Jason, what happened earlier! That video. Did you believe it?" Elle asked to see his reaction. Jason went silent for a second. "I honestly don''t know.." He replied. "I don''t know what to believe or who to trust?" He mumbled. "I should actually believe him cause I''m his son but then I.. " He paused and Elle smiled secretly. "What about you?" He suddenly asked and she sighed. "I don''t know what to believe too but let''s see I trust the governor.." She said and smiled. *** The next day. Mayor''s Mansion. Langford sat in the living room as he watched the tv. Breaking news; The governor''s party was ruined with a video allegedly exposing the governor''s crime and then also a gunshot was shot too, disrupting the party.." "And this morning, the governor addressed all the rumours saying it was fake and it was made by someone who threatened him¡­" Soon a clip from the the interview with James was shown. "I swear that all the rumours are not true. You all have seen what I have for the state and you know how much i love you all, the citizens of this beautiful state. This is a work caused by opposing rival. He looked for ways to get me but he couldn''t and that''s why he''s using this tactic. I assure you all that you can trust your governor¡­" Langford took the remote and then switched the television off. "I didn''t have to do anything. The person made my life easy for me. You will ever regret making me your enemy, James.." He said and then his phone rang. He sighed and walked to the sofa, he took it and rolled his eyes when he saw that it was Lauren calling. "This woman! What does she want this time?" He asked and then answered the call. Her loud voice came and he groaned. "How dare you? How dare you Langford? You tried to backstabb me and my husband in the back. Do you have any idea on what you''ve done?'' "I don''t know what you are talking about Lauren.." Langford smirked. "Don''t y dumb here. Have you forgotten the years we spent together, just because of a minor fight you had with James. You decided to reveal his secrets, forgetting that we also have yours. Don''t try to mess with us!" She warned and he smirked. "Don''t forget I also have your secret with me. I mean our secret together, don''t you forget that.." He winked like he was seeing her. "Wha.. what are you talking about?'' She asked and he smirked. "Don''t y dumb. You know what I''m talking about. And for that video, I sincerely had nothing to do about it. Come on, Lauren. We have known each other for years, you even knew me before you met James. Do you really think I will lie about it?" He asked. "Who''s that?" James''s voice was suddenly heard and Lauren''s eyes widened. "It''s that bastard, right?" He yelled and snatched the phone from her. "Wait.. wait.." Lauren was trying to say but he stopped her with the wave of his hand. Lauren gulped hard immediately. "You bastard.." "You think you can deceive me. You can deceive anyone else except me!" James yelled at him and he chuckled. "Jay, I didn''t have anything to do with that video.." Lanford said. "Oh really! I told you can''t deceive me and don''t you worry, with this step you have made. Expect the monster out of me. I won''t make life easy for you in any way.." He yelled and Langford scoffed. "Don''t try to mess with me too. We both have each other secrets. I''ll make sure you reveal it if you reveal mine.." He said. "And besides, I have a very special secret that your beautiful wife knows about. You can ask her?" Lanford said and James paused and turned to look at Lauren who was already trembling. "What do you mean? What do you mean you fool? What secret are you talking about?!" He yelled and Langford chuckled. "I told you. Ask her yourself. See youter, Jay.." He said and hung up. James turned to Lauren immediately, looking at her coldly. "What secret is he talking about?" He asked gently and then Lauren moved back trembling. "W.. what are you taking about? We have no secret! He''s just lying to you! I don''t what he''s talking about?" "You clearly know. You are lying to me. You are trembling. For thest time, tell me the secret that you are hiding from me!" He yelled and Lauren busted into fresh tears. "I''m really not lying Hun. You are making me scared. Hun.." She says and tried to touch him but he pushed her back. "Do you really want to see me mad? You know how I can be when I''m mad. You know!" He yelled and Lauren started crying the more. "I''ll tell you.." She whispered. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 THE KISS I''ll tell you.." She whispered. "Go ahead.." He urged her. "Actually, I.. " She paused and took a deep breath. "It''s about Asanel Anderson¡­" "What about her?" He asked keenly. "She actually.. she was actually pregnant for Jason. "What?!" He yelled and she flinched. "Yes, I''m sorry I kept it from you.." She pleaded. "How? When?!" James asked confused. "Actually I kept tabs on them before she died and that was how I found out she was pregnant¡­" "But why? Why did you have to kill her then? She was carrying my grandchild. My blood. You shouldn''t have done that Lauren!" He yelled. "It''s because I knew that you would react like this. That''s why I had to get rid of them. You can even give all the properties to that stupid bastard in her womb.." Lauren thought inwardly. "Have you forgotten what her wretched parents did to us? Her mum and Dad? Have you? I had to kill them. No matter what that child in her womb is still a bastard and I''m sure he would have those traits of his mother!" Lauren said hate fully and James sighed. "But does Jason know about it?" He asked. "You think if he knew, he would have kept calm. He would even be worse than this. He doesn''t know about it.." She said and he sighed. Just as he was about to talk, his phone rang and he immediately picked it up. "Hello.." "Okay, I''ll be right there. No worries.." He said and hung up. "Who''s that?" "My secretary?" "There is a meeting for all the politicians today. It''s an urgent one.." He said and Lauren smiled. "Okay. Does that mean you are going to see Langford there.." Lauren asked. "Yeah.." "Hun, please calm down when you see him. Don''t do anything rash.." She warned and he sighed. "I''ll try.." He said and she hugged him. Her smile deepened. "I had to cover the truth by revealing this one. One thing is sure. I will never allow you find out the truth.." She thought. ** Elle smirked. She totally heard everything they said. Now is the right time to act. She took her phone and dailed Damien''z number. He answered the call almost immediately. "Pretty.." He called. "Dam, you have to do something for me.." "What?!" He asked. "There''s going to be a political meeting today. You know what that means right. It''s our chance to get Langford and we can''t miss it.." "So what''s the n?" He asked and she smirked. *** NATIONAL PARK. "Different cars with different brands, lined outside. It was very obvious that it was for very wealthy people. Most of the politicians came our of the car, with hefty bouncers behind them. Most of them were exchanging pleasantries with each other. A Lamborghini drove in and the car halted. The car''s door opened and someone stepped out. His shiny dark shoes was shining first then, his handsome face. He was also putting sunsses. Another car drove in and his bodyguards rushed out of it. "Mayor Langford.." One of them called and he turned back. "Conusellor Williams..'' He answered with a smile and then began walking towards him. As he proceeded towards him, suddenly someone came from behind and hit him. "Sorry.." The masculine voice said and immediately ran off. Langford just nodded and walked towards the person. Meanwhile Damien stopped running when he came to a corner. He was properly disguised. He wore a face cap and a nose mask and also an airpod was in his ear. He immediately connected to Elle. "Elle, I fixed the tracker on his cloth.." He smiled. "Good.." Elle said and he continued smiling. ** Tyson sighed as he closed hisptop. He was not able to concentrate at all. Whatever Elle did to him was workingpletely. He wasn''t able to think about anything else but her. He took his phone and was about to dail her number when the door opened. He looked up and his eyes widened in surprise. "Elle.." He called. "Hi sweetheart.." She smiled and waved at him. He smiled also and then sprang up on his feet, then he scurried towards her and hugged her tightly. "I missed you baby.." He said and Elle smiled widely, happy that her ns were already working. He was now deeply and madly in love with her. "Me too, I missed you badly¡­" She squeaked and heughed and hugged her more tightly, caressing her hair. Elle was beginning to get suffocated with what he was doing. She rolled her eyes. "Baby, let me go.." She said but he shook his head. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "No, just let me stay like this for a minute.." He pleaded and she rolled her eyes again. "About what happened to your dad! Do you believe it?" "I don''t want to talk about it.." He said and Elle pulled away from the hug. "I just wanted to know how you and the family are doing and taking things.." "It''s nothing. We are actually used to this because most times, Dad has faced threats from almost every angle.." Tyson said and Elle took her lips in and brought them out, making it look more pinkish and wet. Tyson was lost staring at it. "Tyson, don''t you also think you can ask your dad about it? I mean yes, I know it''s not true but you can still find out some things like investigating deeper, also, you should ask your dad to let you know more of his business outside thepany. It''s going to help you a lot.." Elle said with a slight smile but Tyson wasn''t even hearing anything at all. "Hey.." "Tyson.." She called when she noticed he was lost. "What''s wr.." The remaining words she wanted to say was stuck in her mouth because Tyson immediately mmed his lips on hers. Elle''s eyes widened and she stood there, frozen. Shocked to the core. She was not expecting this at all. And just when she made to push him, the door opened and Jason walked in. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Hur And just when she made to push him, the door opened and Jason walked in. Her eyes widened the more when she saw him. It was obvious he was shocked. Very shocked. He too was also frozen to the spot and that feeling came again, that anger. He folded his fists tightly as he watched them. Elle''s senses came back and she immediately pushed Tyson off. "What was that for?" She yelled at him and he smiled. "Baby, it should be nothing right, the feelings are both mutual. So what''s the need. In fact be my girlfriend! I can''t wait any longer¡­" He smiled and held her waist while Elle''s eyes remained on Jason. For some reason, she was feeling so guilty. "Stop it!" She snapped at Tyson and threw his hands down. Tyson was surprised. "But babe..'' He paused when he saw looking at a direction. He turned immediately and saw his elder brother standing there. Tyson smirked inwardly. "Bro, you''re here.." However Jason''s gaze was fixated on Elle who returned the gaze. "You guys are busy. It''s my habit to interrupt. You can continue.." He said and then he walked away. Elle immediately ran after him. "Wait, Jason. I''m going to exin.." Elle blurted out without realizing what she had just said. Tyson caught her wrist and made her face him. "What are you going to exin to him? Hub? Isn''t it obvious to him that we both love each other. You confessed your feelings to me so I don''t you should exin to him when he''s not your lover or anything.." Tyson told her and Elle forced out a smile. Her senses just returned now. She immediately held Tyson''s hands. "Sweetheart, I just didn''t want to him to misunderstand us. You know we are both supposed to working not romancing each other. He might think we are not serious with the work and tell your dad, your dad might also get the wrong impression of you, I''m just looking out for you. Am I wrong?" Elle faked a sad voice and Tyson sighed. "So sorry, Babe. Sorry, I didn''t think of that. Now I know how much you love and care for me.." He smiled and she returned the fake smile. "When are we going to be a real couple?" Tyson asked and Elle was tempted to roll her eyes. She took her fingers to his lips and rubbed the lower lip seductively. "Soon.." She whispered and his smile widened. "I love you.." He said and hugged her, caressing her long blonde hair while Elle rolled her eyes. She felt like punching him so hard and Jason. Gosh! Heaven knows what he would be thing of her now! She could clearly see the hurt in his face. She doesn''t want him to get heartbroken again. **** Jason got into his car and hit the sterling hard, his breathing heavy. "Why am I so angry? It''s not like she''s mine anyways.." He thought and then ced his head on the sterling. "Asanel, I''m falling for her. I''m falling for thatdy called Elle. I promised to love you only but then, my promise is shaking just like she''s shaking my heart. But I still wouldn''t let her capture my whole heart. I''ll stop this feelings before it growsrger.." He told himself and hit the sterling again. He was about to start the car when someone knocked at the car''s window. He took a look and then sighed when he saw that she was the one. He lowered the ss and faced her. "What do you want?" He asked and she sighed. "It''s actually about what you saw. Seriously, don''t believe what you saw. It was totally unexpected. I was shocked.. " Elle said. Jason remembered the shocked expression on her face earlier and then sighed. "You don''t have to exin to me after all I''m a nobody.." He says and then drove off. Elle groaned inwardly. **** Night. "He has almost 30 guards stationed beside his bedroom and about 10 guards in front of the mansion. That''s pretty easy for you right. You can deal with the guys in the bedroom while I deal with those outside.." "What do you think?" Damien asked Elle but she didn''t reply. He looked up and saw that she was lost in thought. "Elle, Hey.." He called but no response. "Pretty.." He called again and tapped her lightly and she immediately jolted out of her thoughts. "Yes.." "What were you saying?'' She asked and Damien sighed. "What''s wrong?" He asked and Elle forced out a smile. "It''s nothing. I just miss my daughter. You know it''s been two months since I left her. Time really flies, you know.." She smiled again. "Pretty, you can deceive someone else but not me. We stayed together for seven years so I know you in and out and right now, Kiera is not responsible for your falling out.." He said and Elle sighed. "It''s Tyson.." She said. "Did he do something?'' He asked. "He actually kissed me.." Elle said and Damien went almost mad immediately. He sprang up on his feet. "What?!" "That bastard, I''m going to teach him a lesson.." Damien said and grabbed his car keys but Elle held him back. "That''s not the problem. I signed up for this when I started fake dating him. I knew he was bound to do this sooner orter.." "But still¡­" "Yes, I knew that it was going to happen soon.." She said. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "I just didn''t expect Jason to barge in at that moment.." She ambled and Damien dropped the keys. "Is that why you are losing focus like this?" He asked and Elle looked up, her eyes teary. "I just didn''t expect that it would affect me like this.." She said and Damiem sighed. One he hated the most was seeing Elle and Kiera sad. It tears his heart into pieces. "Pretty, I don''t think we will be able to go for the mission today..'' He said and Elle shook her head. "No, I''m fine.." She smiled and he cupped her cheeks. "Elle, you know I''m here for you right. So don''t feel sad. Hmmn.." He then kissed her forehead and then hugged her tightly. She reciprocated the hug too. "I know even if you don''t tell me, I know you still love that guy, even Kiera is the proof of your love. But I can''t still help myself. I''m still hoping that maybe one day, I will have that ce in your life. I will never give up on you, Elle. I''ll fight in order to protect you and Kiera even if it means risking my life. I love you Elle. I love you very much.." Damien thought and hugged more tightly. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Her heart skipped Outside the Mayor''s Mansion. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Elle came down from the car, she was wearing a ck trouser and a ck hoodie also. Her hair was packed into a ponytail and and she also wore high boots to match with it, making her look a viin in a movie. She was putting on a face cap. And she also wore an airpod in her ear for easy ess to Damien. She pressed a button on the airpod. "Dam,e out now. It''s secured.." She mumbled looking around and then she brought a nose mask and then wore it. She also brought out sses, she also wore them. "I''m going in.." She mumbled and then she started to climb the fence. Then she jumped down causing a thud. That alerted the guards. "Who''s there?" A voice said and suddenly footsteps wrte heard. Elle stood with a smirk, she was expecting them anyway. "Hey, who are you?!" One of them asked and Elleughed sinisterly. "Come to momma.." Damien also jumped down from the fence. They all charged towards them and they began dealing with them, exchanging blows, kicks with them and soon they were on the ground lying unconscious. As they were about going, twenty of them rushed out again and one pointed a gun at Damien. Elle immediately brought out her gun and shot him in the head. He fell to the ground dead. The others charged towards them again and another round of battle began. After a while, they were on the ground too, unconscious, some dead. "We have to hurry Dam, I''m sure Langford is trying to find a way to escape.." Damien nodded and as they opened the door to the mansion. They saw Langford and some other guards standing behind him. Langford was terribly shaking. Immediately one of the guards raised his gun to shoot Damien but then Elle stylishly pushed Damirn away and got shot in her arm. "Aaargh!" She yelled and fell on her knees. Damien rushed to her immediately and Langford and his guards used that cue to escape. "Are you okay?" Damien asked Elle. She nodded and looked at the direction where Langford was and her eyes widened. "He''s gone.." She mumbled and with pain, she pushed off Damien. "Where''s he?!" She yelled in anger. She turned and found him and his guards walking towards his car. She held her sounded arm which won''t stop bringing out blood and ran to him. She raised her gun and cocked it, then she shot Langford in his leg. Langford groaned and fell on his knees. His guards turned and tried shooting Elle but then Damien shot three of them from behind while Elle shot four of them again. The remaining two tried shooting but their guns were out of bullet. They charged towards Elle who dodged every of their attacks and with a grunt, she punched both in their stomach and mmed both of their heads together. They fell to the ground immediately. Langford groaned and stood up. He opened the car''s door and was about entering it when he heard her voice. "Mayor Langford, I''ll advise you not to act smart with us.." She said and Damien pointed the gun at his head while Langford shivered in fear. "What do you want? What have I ever done to you?" "Please don''t kill me. Let me go. I promise to give you all you want, my properties and all I have, but please don''t kill me. My wife and kids are in the states. They are waiting for me, please don''t kill me.." He begged and Elleughed. "I''m not after your life, that is if you cooperate with us. All I want is you¡­" She smirked. Langford smirked too. "I called the police and I''m sure they will be here soon. You will be done for.." He said and Elle clenched her fists angrily. "You bastard!" She cursed and then hit his head with the gun. He fell unconscious immediately. "Dam, take him.." She ordered. "Elle, are you okay? You are bleeding!" He eximed and that was when Elle realised that she was bleeding profusely. "Don''t worry, I''m fine.." "Have you called de and his gang already?" She asked and Damien nodded. "Good. Let''s get out of here before the cops arrives .." She said and Dam nodded and then carried Langford out while Elle followed closely behind. Later ** ELLE''S MANSION. Elle and Damiem sat in the living room where Damien was trying to remove the bullet from her arm. It was no big deal since they were trained on how to do so because of emergency. Elke closed her eyes and folded her lips, she was sweating profusely. "Ugh!" She groaned and Damien smiled. "I extracted the bullet already, I''ll just disinfect your wounds.." He said and looked at her in the eye. "It might sting.." He said and Elle used the other hand to take her handkerchief. She nabbed her face and neck with it. "Do it. Do you really think of me as a child who gets scared of these things.." Elle said and scoffed again and Damiem chuckled. "You are so bad mouthed.." He told her and started disinfecting her wounds. She would close her eyes and release low grunts. Soon he was done, he took a ster and then stered the surface of the wound. "I brought some pain relievers, take them and you would be fine.." He told her and she smiled. "You better take some if you want to get better cause I know you.." He warned her and she smiled again. "You sound like a doctor..'' "You know I would have been one if.." He paused and she rolled her eyes. "You are such a fool, I can''t believe you gave up your career because of that.." She snapped at him and took her handkerchief again to nab her face. Damien sighed and then took then handkerchief from her. He then moved his head closer to hers. "You are the fool here, I left it because of you, because I wanted to help you.." He said and then there were some minutes of silence between them. Damien''s eyes went to her lips and he started bringing his head more closer to hers. Elle''s eyes widened and something unexpected happened, her heart skipped and then it began to race. Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Friends And just as he brought his lips closer to hers, the memory of her kiss scene with Jason shes in her head. She raised her hand and pushed his chest back slightly. "Don''t you ever try this again!" She told him in a cold voice. Then she stood up and picked up her phone. She dalied his number immediately and the person picked up at the second beep. "Hello boss ma''am.." He said. "de, is he awake already?" Elle asked, looking at her fine and polished nails. "Not yet, boss ma''am.." "Should I wake him up?" de asked and Elle sighed. "Don''t, Don''t bother. Tomorrow, Damien and I wille over but do one thing, make he''s healthy and no injuries, if possible give him food to eat.." "But ma''am, why are you taking care of your enemy.." "It''s said that keep your friends close and your enemies closer, that''s what I''m doing. He should still be in the right frame of mind to answer my question, I need him.." Elle said "Undeerstood, boss ma''am¡­" re said and then hung up. "I can''t wait for tomorrow.." She mumbled with a smirk ying at the corner of her lips. Then she turned to Damien. "Keep a tab on the Madisons. I want to know how they will react to the news.." She said and walked away. *** BREAKING NEWS; MAYOR LANGFORD was kidnapped at his residents by an unknown female assassin and her cohort. Several of the guards were found dead and some were injured. The female assassin is said to be very skilled by one of the bodyguards. Though there weretv camera there but it couldn''t capture the face of the assant and her Male cohort. Citizens are worried because they think it''s a cause of rm since the elections are getting near. And furthermore, the te number of the car was considered invalid, so for now, they will don''t have a lead about the Mayor''s kidnapping. Also one of the guards also said he shot the female assassin on her arm. Stay tuned. More updatesing in.." Tyson''s eyes widened upon seeing the news. He couldn''t believe his uncle Langford ass kidnapped. ''Mum, Dad!" He yelled and both the governor and Lauren rushed out immediately. "What''s happening? Why did you scream out our name that way?" Lauren asked. "It''s uncle Langford, he was kidnapped by an unknown female assassin.." Tyson said and both James and Lauren''s eyes widened. "W.. what?!" Lauren stuttered while the shocked expression still remained on James. "But how? Weren''t his guards there?" James asked as he ran his hands into his hair. "They were about forty guards but then she took them on, I mean she and her cohort. They killed some and injured some.." Tyson exined and James sighed again. "But hun, who could have done this to Langford. Who? This is so surprising!" Elle said like she was about to cry. James sighed again and was about to talk when he remembered something. The video that was yed at his birthday party. His eyes widened. Could it be that the person threatening him knows of his close rtionship with Langford and decided to use Langford against him. James'' heart skipped at the realisation and he clenched his fists angrily. "Nooo!" He said in gritted teeth. "This can''t be happening!" He suddenly yelled and faced Lauren. "We have to find Langford as soon as we can. Hun, Langford knows everything about me! He does! I hope he doesn''t implicate me.." James said to his wife while Tyson looked at him in confusion. "Dad,do you want to save uncle Langford because he''s your friend or because he knows your secret?!" "Bute to think of it, what secret are you talking about. You and uncle James never had anything to house. You are always transparent to the citizens.." "Shut it! Just shut it boy!" James yelled and then walked away. Lauren sighed. "Learn to stay strong for your dad. I''ll be right back.." Lauren says and walked away. Tyson just sighed and then smiled. "Dad seems weird.." ** Elle got down from the car and removed her sunsses. She was wearing a long sleeved purple gown and that was because she wanted it to cover her wound. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. As she came out of her car, Jason also did the same. He looked up and their eyes met. Then Elle looked away. She didn''t want to start staring at him again and start feeling guilty. It was like she betrayed him or something when she didn''t. She was about to walk away when a strong arm suddenly held her wrists. She turned and saw Jason holding her wrist. Elle rolled her eyes and fred her wrist off his. "What do you want?'' She asked coldly. Jason sighed. "I''m having a hard time saying this, since I haven''t said this to someone in a long time.." He said and Elle furrowed her brows. "What?" She asked and he closed his eyes and sighed. Elle quickly smiled and then she quickly comported herself. "If you know.. " "I''m sorry. For ignoring you yesterday. I was not just myself.." He said and Elle was almost tempted to smile. "If you want, you can ept it but if you don''t, it''s your call.." He said again and sighed then he turned to leave. He couldn''t even sleep wellst night and he med himself for ignoring her. Not like she was doing anything wrong anyways. She already said she likes Tyson. And for the first time ever, he decided to say what he hasn''t said in years. "Wait.." Elle said and then he paused and turned to her. She walked towards him and then smiled when she got to him. "You are a fool.." She said and his eyes widened. "What? You.. you called me a fool?" Jason asked, looking stupidfied. "Yeah and why I called you a fool is a secret.." She winked at him and he scoffed. Then she brought out her hand for a handshake. "Will you be my friend?" She asked with a smile. "What?" He said and she rolled her eyes. "I rarely be friends with anyone, so you should consider yourself really lucky, I''m friends with you. Egocentric prince.." She said and he chuckled. "Fine.." He said and was about to receive the handshake but Elle brought her hand down. "You know what? Friends share a hug.." She said. "What?" Jason said again and she scoffed. "Are you lost?" She asked and she moved close to him. Thankfully she was almost his height because of the high heels she was wearing. She smiled and then pulled him into a hug. Jason smiled also and then wrapped his arms around her, reciprocating the hug. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Her wrath Jason tightened the hug and mistakenly squeezed her injured arm in the process. Elle squeezed her face in pain and then a low grunt escaped her lips. Jason hearing that immediately pulled away from the hug. Elle immediatelyported herself but then the pain was still visible in her eyes. "Are you okay?" He asked trying to examine body. "I''m.. I''m perfectly fine. My stomach just hurt for a minute.." She faked a smile. "Are you sure?" He asked and then touched her forehead to feel her temperature. "I''m fine.." She smiled and he sighed. "I was worried.." He thought and then heaved a sigh of relief. Meanwhile Tyson was watching behind and he clenched his fists angrily. He doesn''t know why but he hates seeing his brother with Elle. Soon the meeting was done and Elle headed to see Langford. Today, she was finally going to get all the truth about James. OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY. A HIDDEN HOUSE. Elle removed the cap of her hoodie and then knocked at the door. The door opened and a hefty guy stepped out. He was smoking also. He smiled upon seeing her. "Boss ma''am.." Elle scrunched her face in disgust. "Will you put that away? How many times have I told you to quit smoking. It''s dangerous for your health.." She said and rolled her eyes. "I''m sorry, boss ma''am..'' He said and raised his hands in surrender before throwing the cigarette on the ground and then he stepped on it. "Where''s boss Damien?" de asked. "He''s on his way.." "How''s he?!" She asked and he smiled. "Don''t worry, My boys are with him. He won''t try nonsense.." He said and she chuckled. "Hope he is in afortable room and you have him enough food and water?" "He''s refusing to ept it.." de said. "I''ll take care of it.." She winked and then walked in. There were five different rooms. She opened the first and then walked in. There he was. Sitting on a chair, with his hands and feet bound and his mouth gagged. He was sweating profusely and was also struggling with the chains used to bound him. She smirked watching him struggle and then gave up. "Hi¡­." She said with a smile and he turned to face the direction he heard the voice. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. His eyes widened at who he saw. "Miss Elle Browns¡­" "Wait, what''s happening? What''s going on?!" He thought and started to struggle to speak. "Tch, tch, Mayor. I''m greeting you but you couldn''t even respond to my greetings. What sort of Mayor are you?" Elle said with a pout and then she raised her brows just like she realised something. "Oops! I''m sorry. Forgive my manners Mayor, I had forgotten I had your mouth gagged.." She said with a fake pitiful look and then she removed the cloth from his mouth. Langford breathed out loudly and he red at her. "Miss Browns, As far as I''m concerned. We only met once or twice. So I don''t get why you are doing this.." He said and Elleughed out loudly. "Oh really now, Mayor, I bet you would be very surprised soon.." "And far as I''m concerned, I know you are partners with the Madisons. So tell me did James send you to me?!" He yelled and Elle grabbed his cheeks and poked it hardly. "Look at me carefully. Look at those eyes of mine. Aren''t they familiar?" She said coldly and then left him alone. "I don''t know what you are talking about.." He said and she sighed. "Well, Mr Mayor. We all know that you are more closer to the Madisons than I am. I''ve just been with them for almost a month and you''ve been with them for long, so it''s very obvious that you know most of their diry secrets. Am I right?" Langford started sweating immediately. "What do you mean?!" He asked shivering. "Oh, don''t y dumb, Mr Mayor. So let''s start with the video that was yed on the governor''s birthday. Everything about the fire is real. James and Lauren caused the fire that burnt the family to death and you were also in cahoots with them!" Elle snapped at him with a now serious look. "Look, I don''t know. I don''t understand what you are saying¡­" Elle clenched her fists angrily and punched him on the right cheek. "Stop denying it. I''m a living evidence to the fire incidence. You wanna know the truth. I was present at the fire incident because I''m Asanel Anderson!" She yelled and Langford frooze right on the spot. "What are you saying? Both Maltida and her daughter were killed. We investigated a everything properly!" Langford yelled. "But did you ever find my body?!" She yelled back. "Yes!" Langford said and Elle chuckled. "True! Oh that. She was just part of the free trying to save me but instead a nk of fire fell on her and she died.." Elle said and Langford jaws dropped. "I''m using someone''s else face just to make sure you all pay for what you did to my family. You destroyed my family!" She yelled almost in tears. "Now, if you want to live, you better start talking. I want to know everything about James''s hidden and illegal businesses.." Langfordughed. "Even if you killed me! You went get anything from me! You won''t be able to do anything to James!" He yelled again and Elle punched his other cheek and then his stomach hardly. He coughed out a little blood immediately. Elle angrily brought out her pistol from her pocket and pointed it at him. "Don''t you dare me, Mayor. You better stop speaking or I''ll kill you right here on this spot!" She yelled and Langfordughed weakly. "Ne.. never.." He mumbled out. Elle''s eyes reddened and her lips trembled. She cocked the gun with her eyes fixated on Langford. Memories of how her mum died in the fire came rushing in her head. Tears rushed out of her eyes and without thinking twice, she pulled the trigger. The gunshot was heard, followed by the groaning of Langford.. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Chapter 40 An hidden truth Elle opened her closed eyes and then looked up at him. Langford was groaning, throwing his head backwards. Then her eyes trailed down to where she shot him and she realised that she shot him on the leg. Elle heaved a sigh of relief and then brought down her hands still ring at Langford. "I could have killed you but you are still very useful to me.." She said. "J.. just kill me.." Langford begged with his eyes closed. Elle smirked. "Well, I won''t. I will kill you when I''m done using you¡­" Elle said and then turned to leave but Langford''s voice stopped her. ''If you know what is best for you at the moment, then stop. Stop this revenge of yours. James Madison is more dangerous than you think. If he can kill his wi¡­" Langford''s voice trailed off and Elle turned back sharply. She rushed to him and held him. That was when she discovered he was unconscious already. "No! What''s was he about to say? He was saying something important..'' She told herself. "Hey.." She called tapping him lightly. "Mr. Mayor, continue. Go ahead with what you were saying!" She snapped at him but there was no response. Elle sighed and stood straight and that was when it hit her. She remembered his words again. "If he can kill his wi.." Her eyes widened. "Was he talking about his wife?" She asked herself. "But then, Lauren is his wife. So how then is she alive? Dang! This is confusing.." She says and loosened her hair. "Could it be that he was talking of histe wife, Jason''s mum? But didn''t shemit suicide?" Elle sighed and then walked out of the room. She didn''t even bother to even tell de she was leaving. She just walked out. After getting to the ce, she parked her car. She hopped in and started her journey back. As many ideas were rushing through her head. Suddenly she remembered something and she halted the car immediately. "My mummitted suicide. She and Dad were having issues at that time. They both were at fault in this case. The both of them were too arrogant to apologise to each other. I was in my elementary school when it happened. I came back from school and met the police and Media at our house. I just only saw my mum''s lifeless bodyid on a stretcher and my dad was beside her weeping terribly.." "I also cried bitterly. It created a void in me that no one else could rece.." Jason sniffs. "But then, I remember the doctor saying that the autopsy results was different from what people are saying.." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "And then, my dad got married again within three months.." Elle sighed and ced her hand on the sterling. "You bastard! James! I can''t believe you did this to your own wife! The mother of your son!" She yelled angrily and hit the sterling hard. "You made Jason motherless. You deprived him of his mum''s love.." Elle says and she didn''t know when tears ran down her cheeks. She took her phone and then dailed Damien''s number. He answered the call immediately. "Pretty.." He called. "Find out the date when Mrs Sarah Madison died, how she died. Everything that happened.." Elle said with a cold look. "Hey, what happened? You are sounding cold?" He asked. "I have my suspicions. James Madison killed his wife.." "Wait, what?" "I don''t understand! I mean why would he do that?" Damien asked. "For the bitch, Lauren Madison. So they can be together.." Elle said. "Let''s both dig deep into this information. I promise to find out all that happened.." Elle said and hung up. ** JASON''S MANSION. Jason took a sip of the coffee he was holding, then he dropped it and continued typing on hisptop. He stopped typing and then he smiled when he remembered her. His phone rang. It was his assistant calling. Jason rolled his eyes and then answered it. "I''m busy.." He cut in immediately. "Boss, Miss Giselle and her dad are here to see you in the office.." "I''m not interested.." He said and then hung up. "That girl clearly doesn''t know when to give up.." He mumbled as he used his right thumb to caress his lower lip. He sighed out and then rounded up the work he was doing on it. Then he closed it. He picked up his phone and then smiled. "It''s just two days to Asanel''s birthday..'' He thought. Then he remembered Elle. "I don''t know if I''m just feeling this way but she reminds of Asanel. Sometimes her words, her expression reminds me of her. She can''t be sassy and rude but at the same time, cute and extremely soft hearted. That''s also Asanel''s personality.." "Maybe that''s why I''m drawn to her and that''s why I''m falling for her.." He sighed out. "I really hate it when someone behaves like Asanel but strangely, I''m really liking it now.." His phone rang again and he scoffed when he saw that it was still his manager. He rejected the call immediately. "I don''t know what it''s his problem.." He said. His phone rang again and he sighed. He was about to reject it when he saw who was calling. His eyes widened immediately. "Elle.." Then he answered the call. He wasn''t even chanced to talk because her voice came in immediately. "Jason, are you in? I''m in front of your house. I need to see you.." She said and his eyes widened the more. "What?!" He asked surprised. "How did you get my house address?" He asked. "From your assistant. Stop asking questions ande out already.." She whined and he chuckled. "I''ming out, okay." He said and then stood up immediately. Then he hung up. "What? She''s here? Is she a witch or what? How did she know I was thinking of her?" He asked himself and then sighed out. "I''m going crazy because of her. Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Going home Jason got outside and met her standing there, looking around. He was really puzzled that she actually came to his house. A smile escaped his lips. "Hey.." He called and she turned to face him. "Jason.." She called and then smiled. "Wait, what are you doing¡­" He couldn''tplete his statement when she embraced him tightly. Jason was shocked, surprised, frozen to the spot. What was happening today?" Elle closed her eyes tightly as she embraced him. She was feeling so much pity for him. He doesn''t even deserve such a father. "Hey.." He called and she pulled away from the hug. Elle immediately wiped off the tears that was threatening to fall off. "Are you okay?" He asked and she nodded. "I''m fine.." She said and shed a smile at him. "I''m still curious to know why you are here?" "Are you sending me off?" She raised her brows and he sighed. "Fine then.." Elle held her stomach and frowned her face. "Hey.." He called again, noticing her face. "You look somehow pale.." "Yes, maybe that''s because I''ve not eaten yet. Can''t you even serve your guest food?" She scoffed and Jason sighed. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Elle looked away and smirked. She knew that Jason was a very good cook. He ass always the one cooking for them when they had an assignment together. He once told her that he wouldn''t cook for anyone else except her. Jason sighed again and then nodded. "Alright. Come in.." He said and then started to walk away. Elle smiled and ran to him. She immediately linked their hands together. Jason looked at her and she smiled at him. They got in and Elle looked around. The house was decorated in a "Jason''s style. It was so like him. It was more exquisite and ssic unlike hers which was simple. "So are your maids here to cook for you?" She asked deliberately. "Maids¡­." "I don''t have one. I cook myself.." He replied her with his hands in his pocket. "So are you going to cook?" She asked, biting her lower lip. "What else? I have to.." He said and then walked to the kitchen. Elle smiled and then followed him also. Jason was already in his apron. Elle smiled again looking at him. He was looking so handsome even in the apron. "What are you doing?" She asked and Jason sighed again. "Why do you always ask unnecessary questions?" "Okay, then let me rephrase the question. What are you cooking?" She asked. "Pasta and meatballs.." "Let me help.." Elle said. "No, no. It''s fine. Just go and sit.." Jason said. "Nah, I want to help. No matter how you insist.." She said and he sighed. "You are really a nut case.. " Jason said. "Should I slice the carrots?" Elle asked. Jason just shrugged. Elle smiled and then started to slice the carpets. Jason turned to look at her and he scoffed. "Seriously!" He said. Then he moved closer to her, stood at her back and then held her hand which was holding the knife. "This is how you do it.." He said and started slicing the carrot. Meanwhile Elle couldn''t even concentrate well. Her heart was racing with the way he was so close to her. *** Australia. Kiera walked into the living room, holding her teddy and also pouting.

She said and Jason nodded. "I''ll be on my way now.." She said and he smiled. "Thanks.." He said and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I''ll go now.." Elle said and turned to leave but she paused when they both heard someone screaming. "Who''s that?!" She turned back and Jason shrugged. As they walked closer, they saw that it was Giselle, she was struggling with the guards. "Let me in!" She yelled angrily. Jason sighed and touched his forehead upon seeing her. "Here shees again.." He said. "Leave her.." He ordered the guards and they left her. "You!" She yelled and rushed towards Elle but Elle dodged her and she fell to the ground bruising her elbow. "Ouch!" She cried and sat up, her hair already scattered all over her face. Jason rolled his eyes and tucked his hands into his pocket. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Is that what you should be asking? Your fiancee is injured and you are not even concerned!" She yelled in anger and then Jason sighed. He crouched before her. "You better get out of here or you won''t like what else I''ll do to you!" He warned. Giselle raised her hand and then pped him hard across the cheek. Elle gasped immediately. "You bastard!" She cursed and tried to p him again but he held her wrist tightly, even hurting her with the way he was holding it. It was visible in his eyes that he was angry and was also trying to keep his cool. "Get out of here now.." He said and dropped her hand. Then he stood up. "You bitch!" Giselle yelled and then rushed to Elle. She grabbed her hair but then Elle pushed her off and she fell to the ground immediately. "Get a grip on yourself and stop forcing yourself on someone who doesn''t even love you!"

She stared at Tyson whose expression is just nk. "Baby.." She called and tears fell out from her eyes. "Baby, don''t you believe me?" She asked but Tyson said nothing. Giselle scoffed and pped her hands. "You are such a drama queen. And you?" She pointed to Tyson. "Open your eyes. She''s just ying with your feelings. When will you realise that?'' She asked. ''Shut .." Tyson signaled to Elle not to say anything. "I told you never to disrespect her or else you won''t like what happens next.." He said and held Elle''s hand. Then he walked out. In the car. There was silence in the car as Tyson drove not even sparing Elle a nce and the tension was overwhelming since both of them didn''t say anything. Elle looked the other side and rolled her eyes but she quickly faked a smile and faced Tyson. "Sweetheart.." She called and then touched his hand but he removed it immediately. "Baby, are you still mad about it? I told you it''s nothing. It''s an harmless visit.." She exined and Tyson scoffed. "Really? You''re visiting my brother when you''ve not visited me. Do you even love me?" He yelled and she sighed. Tears started falling off her eyes immediately. "I can take on anything but not you questioning my love for you!" She said and bursted into full tears. Tyson sighed and stopped the car. "I didn''t mean it that way baby, I''m just angry because you seem to give your brother more attention than me, I mean we have not even met for a single date and you are not my girlfriend officially. You haven''t said yes. That''s why I''m so pissed off..'' He said and Elle sighed. She smiled and held his hands. "Yes, I will be your girlfriend.

"Wait, let me try calling your mum again.." Lady red said and then dailed Elle''s number. After ringing for a few seconds, she didn''t answer the call. It seems Elle is busytely. She didn''t even answer my call. I just hope she doesn''t get mad because I brought Kiera with me.." She thought. "Mamita, What''s wrong?" Kiera asked. "Nothing, princess.." She smiled "Get into the car or we will runte. You don''t want to miss your flight do you?" She asked and Kiera immediately ran into the car. Lady red sighed again. "I just hope we going there doesn''t add more troubles to Elle. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Strangely familiar Elle got home and she sighed tiredly and then fell on the couch. She then opened her bag and took her phone, then her eyes widened. "Twenty missed calls from Mamita and three missed calls from Damien" She sighed again and then called Damien first. He answered the call immediately. "Hey, where were you?" He asked. "It''s nothing. Do you know thetest ns of James?" "He''s nning another shipping of drugs. This night!" He said and her eyes widened. She stood up and rushed to theputer room. She got in and immediately powered all theputers and tracking devices. She reyed some of the events that happened and sighed out. "That damn man is not giving up. Is he?" She said. "Anyway, did Mamita call you?" She further asked. "No.." "I didn''t receive any calls from her..." Damien replied. "That''s surprising. I received so many calls from her. But don''t worry, I''m going to call her back now..." "And Damien, go to our suppliers and get new bullet proof vests for us. Take care.." She said and hung up. Then she dalied Mamita''s number but it was not avable. Elle sighed again and then dailed Kiera''s number. It was still saying the same thing again. "I hope nothing is wrong there.." She said and then touched her chest before standing up. Her mind shed back to the earlier incident of today and she breathed out when she remembered Jason''s angry face. "Jason.." "He looks angry.." She thought and hit her head momentarily. "No, I can''t get distracted. I''m starting to get distracted because of him. I need to keep my distance now and pretend to hate him. That would be better. I can''t let my hearte in the way of my mission.." She thought and then closed her eyes. She then opened them and breathed out. "Don''t let your emotions control you. You should focus on your mission. Once I''m done with it, then I will to introduce you to your daughter. It''s a promise.." Just as she was thinking, her phone rang and her expression changed into a cold one when she saw it was de calling. "Yes.." She said after she answered the call. "Ma''am, the mayor is awake now. We tried feeding him but as usual he didn''t eat. And also the wounds in both his legs are getting more worse. What should we do about that?" Elle rolled her eyes and scoffed. "And so, let his wound rot. He joined hands in killing my parents. Why should I keep him?!" She yelled breathing heavily. She closed her eyes and hung up. Then she started pacing up and down. Suddenly she remembered Mamita''s words during her training. "Use your head not your hearts. Most times, be practical!" Tears fell out of her eyes when she recalled the fire incidence again. "Aaargh!" She yelled and smashed the flower vase near her on the ground. Breathing heavily, she reached out for her phone and then dalied someone''s number, the person answered the call almost immediately. "Ma''am, I''ve been waiting for your call for likes ages now.." "Shut up!" Elle said. "Doctor Dean, I want to treat someone for me. Gunshots wounds on both legs. I''ll send the address. "0f course, Ma''am. It''s our duty to help you.

I''m sure they will find something.." Elle said and then hung up. ****** Jason sat in the living room, his eyes glued to the tv. It was obvious he was not watching the tv. He held unto a ss of wine tightly. He was looking so enraged. "She was fooling me. Using me. And I fell for her trap.." He muttered and then took a sip of his wine. "I was to quick to develop stupid feelings for her. And now! I will dly put a stop to those feelings.." He added and took another sip. "No one will be like Asanel. She''s different unlike the others!" He said again and thrn he got his phone. He looked at his dad''s contact for a while before he then dailed it.

Now Elle was beginning to get scared. "What?!" She asked again, gently. "Actually we are here in New Zend.." "What?!" She yelled immediately. **** James walked out of his room to meet the private investigator whom he hired to work on Langford''s kidnapping case. "Good afternoon Governor.." The man greeted politely. "Yes, so what''s the lead about the case.." "Well, we haven''t found much yet. But we definitely have something.." He smiled and thrn gave him a big brown envelope. "That''s a sketch of the feminine assassin. The guards didn''t see her face but they described her body figure and then two of them confirmed that she has a mole beneath her right ear.." He said and James smiled. He opened the broken envelope and brought out the sketch. His eyes widened immediately. The figure of thest looked strangely familiar.

He was still thinking about it when Lauren walked in. "Hun.." She called and he faced her. "What''s wrong?" She asked him when she noticed his long face. "The private investigator found out something that seemed quite familiar about that assassin.." He told her and She took the sketch. "Yes, the figure of the assant looks very familiar but then, it could be any one''s figure.." Lauren told him and he nodded. "Moreover he said she has a mole beneath her ear. Don''t you think it''s familiar also?" "Yes, I think I''ve seen something like that but enough of that. Are you really sure Jason agreed to the marriage cause I find it really hard to believe.."

"That''s because Elle is officially my girlfriend. She epted me today.." He smiled more widely. "Wow! Congrattions son. Should the wedding bells be ringing already?" Lauren asked with a smile. "It''s way too early.." Tyson said. "Enough of that. Let''s inform Giselle''s parents of thetest news and fix a date for the engagement.." James said. ** Elle froze on the spot when she heard that. "What?!" She yelled angrily. "Why are you here?" "Mamita, you know how dangerous this is. Not only your Kiera''s life is danger but yours too. What if worse happens to you!" Elle ranted out again. "Ell.." "You are the only families I have left. I can''t bear losing you at all. I can''t bear it.." Elle said. "So please take Kiera back with you!" Elle pleaded. "Sweetheart, Kiera was badly sick. That''s why I even called you. She wouldn''t stop crying and you know how stubborn your daughter can get. I had to do so to please her. And moreover we will be staying for only a few days.." Lady red said. "Fine, I''lle to pick you up!" She said and then hung up. She sighed again. "I hope this won''t be a problem and another problem is Jason. I don''t want him finding out about Kiera now. That''s my greatest fear.." She added and then wiped off the tears off her eyes. "Everything will be fine.." She added and then took her bag, then grabbed her car keys also. She then hurriedly ran out. ** Wellington International Airport Jason sighed and removed his sunsses. Then he checked his wristwatch. His best friend Nichs who resides in the states ising to New Zend. It was very impromptu. He was at home when he received his call. "That brat.." He thought and checked his wristwatch again. Suddenly his eyes went to a young girl who was standing behind a middle ageddy wearing sunsses. The little girl was adorable cute. Her hair was ck and very long. It was styled into two pigtails and then she was holding a teddy smiling and caressing it. Suddenly she turned and their eyes met. It was then he noticed that she had bangs which made her look more pretty. She smiled at and waved at him. Jason didn''t know when he smiled back. He also waved at her. He turned back to check if his friend wasing. But then he didn''t even know when he turned back again and then he saw the little girl running to him. His eyes widened Immediately she got to him. She smiled again and he noticed her beautiful deep dimples. Wow! How could a creature be this beautiful, even as a kid. Her parents must be very lucky to have her as her daughter. "Hii.." She said in a soothing voice. "Hey.." He smiled and crouched before her. "I just wanted to tell you this. You are very very handsome. Your daughter is so lucky to have you as her dad.." She smiled again and Jason''s heart leapt. Those words melted his heart and he felt very relieved hearing her voice. He took his hands to her ck jelly hair and caressed it. "I don''t have a daughter. But, thank you for thepliment. You are very pretty. And you even seem smart?" "How old are you?" He asked. "I''m seven.." "I actually came here to pay my mum a surprise visit. I stay in Australia.." She said. "Wow! You left your dad?" He asked more curiously. "I don''t have a daddy.." She smiled and hus heart ached. He could tell that her smile was a sad one. Jason smiled and cupped her cheeks and then he pecked her forehead. Something he had not done before to someone unknown. "Don''t be sad, princess.." "Who knows? your dad might be eager to see you.." He told her and she smiled. "You are really handsome, mister. What''s your name?" She asked and she fondled with his cheeks. Jasonughed. "It''s.." "No, don''t tell me your name. I''ll call you mister handsome.." She said and Jasonughed again. "Let''s exchange numbers. I''ll tell mummy and Mamita that I have found a new friend.." She smiled again. "What? You have a phone?'' Jason asked surprised. "Oh, yes. Incase you don''t know, I''m not a little kid anymore just that everyone keeps calling me princess. I want to be a queen.." She whined and Jasonughed out with her expression. "You are so funny.." He said. "My mum says I took after my dad. She says that he might act all cold and grumpy to others but when he''s with her. He''s like a clown.." "Okay, let''s exchange numbers..'' He said and they did so. Meanwhile Lady red had already started to look for Kiera. She didn''t even notice when she left her side. When Elle came, she couldn''t believe her ears. She almost went mad when she learned Kiera was missing. They sent the bodyguards everywhere around the airport to search for her and even they themselves did so. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Mr Handsome! "Find my daughter!" "Find my daughter!" Elle cried as she ran into the airport like a mad woman. Lady red had tried calming her down but it was impossible. She just wouldn''t hear of it. Elle''s phone rang and she looked at it. She hissed when she saw it was the foolish boyfriend of hers calling. She ignored the call and continued looking around. "Find my daughter!" Elle cried again. Her phone rang again and without thinking twice, she answered the call. "Can''t you use your senses once. I''m busy. My head is nk at the moment so please leave me alone, Tyson!" She yelled and hung up. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. *** Thank you for today Handsome.." Kiera smiled and then turned to leave. Suddenly she turned back and then hugged him tightly.

"I don''t do this to strangers but you''ve won my heart, you have a special ce in my heart already.." She told him and he smiled. Then she kissed his forehead and both his cheeks. "Bye.." She says and then ran off. It was then Jason realised that he didn''t ask for her name. "Princess, wait!" He yelled but she had gone far, she couldn''t hear him. "So sad I didn''t get her name. I''ll save her name as beautiful doll.." He smiled and saved the number. "Hey, why are crouching on the ground like a child?" A voice was heard and Jason looked up immediately. He smiled when he saw him. He stood up and they embraced tightly. "Dude, it''s been so long since I saw you.." Nichs said hugging him more tighter. "What long? It''s just three months.." Jason said and they broke the hug. "You look more happy. Did you see any girl you like?" Nichs asked. "Nick, I met a girl just now and Wow! My heart leapt upon seeing her.." Jason smiled when he remembered the little doll he met. "How''s she? Is her boobs firm and does she has ¡­" Jason groaned and hit his forehead. "You know I don''t give a damn about that!" Nickughed. "I know. That Asanel girl is still ruling yore heart. Damn! That girl must be really special to you. Hope she didn''t feed you any love portion cause even in death, she''s still homes your heart. I wonder how Giselle is managing topete with a dead person.." Jasonughed and hit his head again. "Or do you like someone else now?" Nick asked. Jason immediately remembered Elle and he smiled. "She''s beautiful and she has Asanel''s personality.." He blurted out without realising and Nick''s eyes widened. "Wait, you actually like someone! Who''s it?" ¡Á+..'' He said and Nick scoffed. "You liar, it''s not Giselle. You would rather remain single than.." "Fine, it''s not her but I won''t tell you who it is.." Jason said. "Tell me!" He yelled but Jason immediately ran off while Nick pursued him hotly. "Come back here, you betrayal!" He yelled and Jasonughed hardly. ** Elle walked back to where her car was parked dejectedly. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Lady red''s hand was hung on her shoulder. She was also crying too. When they got there, they suddenly heard her voice. "Mummy! Mamata!" "Kiera!" Elle and Lady red said simultaneously. Kiera came out of the car and walked up to them. "Mamita, where are you and mum, why didn''t you call me? You ruined my surprise for you!" Kiera poured. Elle rushed up to her daughter and hugged her tightly, crying. "I don''t care about any surprise, I thought something had happened to you. I really thought so. My baby don''t leave me ever, I love you so much.." She said kissing her hair. Kiera smiled. "I love you too mum.." She said and they broke the hug. "Where did you go? Did you know how worried I was about you?" She asked and kissed her right cheek. "Mummy, I''ve told you I''m a big girl now. So don''t worry about me!" She said and Elleughed. "Mummy, I met someone very special. And he''s very handsome. And I love him.." Elle''s eyes widened and sheughed out. "Already?" She asked. "Yes.." Kiera shrugged. "What''s his name?" "Oh, I didn''t ask for his name¡­." Kiera drawled. "That''s fine. I really missed you princess.." She said and hugged her again. *** Giselle ran out of her room when she saw the text her dad sent her. Jason agreed to the wedding. He agreed to marry her! "Mummmm!"

"I''m just really so happy. After all these years, Jadon epted me. I''m really so happy.." She giggled and Riya hugged her again. ***** Tyson sighed and dropped his phone. If he said he wasn''t angry with the way Elle spoke to him. He was damn pissed but he couldn''t do a thing. His love for her has already overlooked her mistake. "What if something is wrong with her?" He asksd himself and then he stood up abruptly. He grabbed his car keys and then walked out. "I''m going to her house and find out what''s wrong. Something must be wrong.." He said. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Another missio Just as he got to his car. His phone rang and he smiled when he saw that it was Elle calling. He answered the call immediately. "Baby.." He called. "Baby, I''m.. I''m so sorry with the way I spoke to you earlier, something came and I was pissed.." She said, whimpering like she was crying. Tyson''s heart melted immediately upon hearing her sobs. "No, no, it''s fine. I understand. I understand how you must feel. What''s it?" He asked. "My mum, she fell sick again and I thought I was going to lose her but thankfully the sickness was not so much. I was just heartbroken at the moment. Sweetheart, I''m so sorry. Please forgive me.." She cried again and He sighed. "I told you I understand Elle. Just that, next time, tell me. I''m not your boyfriend for nothing.." He said and then smiled. "Okay, you need to take your beauty rest. Goodnight and sweet dreams.." "Goodnight.." "I love you.." "Love you too.." Tyson then hung up. "Yess!" "Now I can sleep peacefully. **** Elle dropped the phone and looked at Kiera who was already sleeping. Why wouldn''t she? When she has talked so much. She kept on talking about the handsome stranger. It was the first time Elle saw her daughter being swayed by a guy she barely knows. And even just meeting him for some minutes, she already came to love him. Elle smiled and touched her hair and then kissed her forehead. Just looking at her reminds her of Jason. She got most of his looks, her eyes, her pointed nose and her heart shaped lips. "Baby, I promise you. You will get to know your father soon and I''m sure your happiness will be full because of it.." She smiled again and then tried to stand up but Kiera held her right hand firmly refusing to let her go. "Mummy, please stay with me. Don''t go. I missed you so much. I missed you sleeping beside me.." Kiera said and opened her eyes. Elle sighed. "What of her mission tonight!" Nevertheless she still nodded. "Fine then.." Shey on the bed and Kiera hugged her tightly. Elle then covered themselves with the duvet. She kissed Kiera''s hair again. "Love you.." She said. Kiera opened her eyes and then looked up at her. "Mummy, if I had a daddy, we would have beenplete right?" Elle''s smiles altered. "Go to sleep princess, I''m sure you are tired.." Elle said and then turned off themp. "Okay, mummy.." *** JASON''S MANSION. Laughter was heard from the living room. Jason sighed and stood up with the bottle of wine. "You are really mad!" He told Nick who wasying on the chair, three buttons of his shirt unbuttoned. "I told you I''m the guy¡­" "But you''re so heartless. How could you deceive five girls that you were going to marry and they also fell for your trap.." Jasonughed again. His ribcage was already hurting with the way he wasughing. "I told you girls are so easy to deceive. And trust me, they were all sweet. So sad I dumped them after one night with them.." Nick said and sat up. "I could introduce you to some girls but¡­" "I''m not interested.." Jason cut him off. "Ooh! Don''t tell me it''s that Asanel girl again. But wait, Jay, you epted to marry that brat Giselle?" Nick asked. "Yeah.." Jason said and fell on the couch. "You fool! I thought you have decided never to push through with the wedding!" Nick said. "I just.." "You just what?" "No, this is about someone who will be your life partner. That Giselle is a brat, a stalking one for that matter and don''t tell me you don''t know she flirts around with men. Gosh! When I see her, I will strangle her to death.." Nick said dramatically and Jasonughed. "Come on, I''m not joking..'' Nick frowned and Jason smiled. "I know.." ''But why did you do it?'' Nick asked and Jason remained silent. "Well I was angry when I took that decision. But now I want to use it to do something good for myself. Maybe I''ll have peace after that.." Jason said. "What''s that about?" "My mum''s death.." He said. "What?" "You said your mummitted suicide.." Nick said. "Never.." "The doctor told me something else after carrying the autopsy test on her.." "I don''t understand.." Nick said and Jason stared on. FLASHBACK. Nine years old Jason sat in the room crying heavily holding his mum''s cold hand. She had already been pronounced dead but he couldn''t ept it. He doesn''t want to believe his mum is gone already. "Mum! Mummy! Why did you have to leave me? Why? I love you so much mum? Pleasee back to me for my sake. I know you and dad are always fighting, mum please.." He continued sobbing. Shortly the doctor walked in. "Son.." He called and Jason looked up at him. "What do you want?" He asked coldly. "Your mum''s autopsy results are out.." He said and Jason stood up immediately. "What''s it?" He asked. "I''m sorry but we found something different. It was like someone strangled her, we found the fingerprints on her neck but then I epuld like to ask a question, does your mum fight with your dad regrly?" "Yes.." He replied and the doctor sighed. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "I''ll get back to you.." He says and walked out. END OF FLASHBACK. "What? Is that all that happened?" Nick said and stood up too. "Yeah.." "Too bad for me. I don''t believe the doctor because back then, the doctor was arrested for nder. Another autopsy reports came out and it says my mum reallymitted suicide. I believed my dad not until three months after the wedding, my dad brought home a woman iming he had married her. She also had a son who was one year younger than me. Dad imed he''s not his real son. I was devastated and heartbroken cause it took him three months to forget about mum and on mom''s death anniversary. Dad was no where to be found. He was celebrating his birthday with his new wife.. " Jason said and clenched his fists tightly. "I went along with the flow and met Asanel. When her dad died, she told me that my dad was responsible for her father''s death but I never believed her and she also never epted me. I was still young then, foolish and stupid. Until I came home five years ago, I heard mum and dad talking about not letting me that Tyson is their real son.." "Then it dawned on me that Dad was cheating mum. I confronted him about it but he told me that it was a mistake. He was drunk and it happened. He had to take responsibility of the child no matter what. He said mum found out after nine years and they began to argue but he didn''t know mum wouldmit suicide because of that.." Jason exined. His eyes were already red and teary. Nick sighed and hugged him tightly. "I really regret not listening to Asanel back then. Maybe I wouldn''t have lost her early.." Jason said and broke the hug. "And now, the video about him recently crashed my remaining trust in him. I think he was involved with Asanel and her mum''s death.." "What?!" Nick yelled. "Jay, I know you hate your dad but no, you say that with no evidences. Who knows if it''s not him who killed Asanel and her parents? What if Asanel''s death is also an ident?" "The only thing you can use him of is killing your mum and it has not been proven yet. What if the doctor was also wrong too? Jay, the only thing your dad did wrong was cheating on your mum leading her tomit suicide.." Nick said and Jason sighed. "You are right in a way. But then I have to reopen the investigation of my mum''s death. But if I find out he''s involved with it. I will not spare him and his mistress..'' Jason said with clenched fists. ** Elle smiled as she watched her reflection in the mirror. She brought out her airpod and connected it to Damien. "Dam, I''m ready..'' She said. "How''s Kiera?" He asked. "She''s fine. I had to make sure she''s deeply asleep before I could start dressing. I''m sorry I''m not with you today..'' "Nah, it''s okay. It''s better you take Kiera and Lady red to another mansion that is unknown so they would be safe.." He said and Elle smiled. "So what''s happening?" "They are going to be shipping the drugs at Ocampo port. We have to get there on time.." He said and she checked her wristwatch. "Okay, I''m alreadying out.." She said and walked out of her room. She walked into Kiera''s room gently and found her still sleeping. She closed the door and then walked out of the mansion. As soon as she got outside, Damien was waiting for her. "Let''s go.." He said and she hopped into the car. She got her phone and dailed someone''s number. "Sabrina!" She called. "I need your help!" She added. ** James sat in the balcony smoking, his eyes looking around. His phone rang and then he grabbed it and answered the call. "Senator Leo.." "How''s the shipment going? I don''t want anything to mess up this time!" The thick male voice said. ''Of course Senator, I assure you. The goods are going to get into Mr Chang''s hands. And don''t worry about the girls. We have found some new girls this week and they will used for the bidding on friday.." James smirked. "Good. Kidnap more girls and children this time. Our customers are in dire need of children - maids. They are willing to pay any amount for it.." "Okay senator.." He said and hung up with a wicked smile ying on his lips. Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Chapter 47 I¡¯ll kill you Soon Elle and Damien were already at Ocampo sea port. There were ships everywhere and they noticed men dressed in ck carrying some cartons into the ship and some men who looked very well off dressed in suits. Elle smiled and got down from the car. She had a carton of bomb strapped to her back, though she hadn''t activated the timer on. Another car came halted behind them and two beautiful girls with well built bodies stepped out and also a guy. They rushed towards Elle and bowed slightly. "Ma''am.." Elle smiled and signalled them to raise their heads and they did. "Where''s the see-through camera?" She asked and Sabrina gave it to her. She took it and started to view what was happening. Then she noticed that there was an entrance they could use to get into the ship. She immediately gave the camera to Sabrina. "Give me the gun!" She said, and Sabrina brought out the AK - 47 gun and then gave it to her. Elle positioned herself well. She could see everything clearly. She smiled and aimed for one of the heads of the men in suits.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. She cocked the gun and then pulled the trigger. It went straight into the head of the man. He fell down straight dead in his pool of blood. "Gather yourselves around, we are being attacked.." One of the goons yelled. "Go ahead, position yourself well. When I signal you start shooting.." Elle said and the others immediately ran into different directions. Soon the goons started shooting and also Elle''s teams started shooting more. The shoot out was so tough and dangerous. One of the bullets met with Sabrina''s arm but luckily she was wearing her bulletproof vest so it only grazed her. Elle''s team had seeded in taking down most of the goons. "Elle, how are you going to fix the bomb now.." Damien asked her and she smirked. "I have a n, so don''t worry.." "What''s it?" "I''m going to go to the ship.." She answered him and his eyes widened. "It''s dangerous, you can''t go.." Damien said and Elle rolled her eyes. "This is not the time to argue. I''ve got to do it!" She said and then shot the gun. It met another goon and he fell down dead. "I''ll go with you.." Damien said. "Nah, stay with Sabrina, Luke and Jade.." Elle told her and when she was sure the coast was clear, she ran off immediately. Damien groaned and hit the car. "That girl doesn''t listen to me.." Elle managed to get on the ship. Luckily for her, most of the goonswriters already dead and also four of the men in suits were dead also. Elle looked around and she unstrapped the carton from her back and just as she was about to put it down. "Freeze, don''t move.." the voice said behind her and she raised ber hands up in the air. "Fine.." She said breathing heavily and the carton dropped on the ground. "Who are you? Turn around?!" He yelled and Elle smirked. "Go to hell!" She said and immediately turned to him. She kicked the gun off his hands and the man groaned. She looked up and discovered it was one of them in suits. He regained hisposure and punched her in her stomach. Elle smirked and kicked him hard. "How dare you!" The man continued growling and they continued to exchange punches and kicks. At a time he punched her hardly in her stomach and she groaned and also staggered. He smirked and held her neck tightly choking her. Elle gagged and her veins started showing and with all her might, she kicked him in his ground. The man yelped in pain and fell to the ground groaning. Elle immediately brought out the phone she connected to the bomb. "Say goodbye to this world!" She yelled and immediately pressed a number on it. Immediately she did that, she jumped into the water and the bomb sted. Damien and the others eyes widened. "NOO!!" He yelled and was about to run to the ce but the three of them held him. "No, you can''t. It''s dangerous.." Jade said. "Leave me! Let me be! Elle!" He yelled and bursted into tears. "Why are you calling my name so badly?" Elle yelled also and they saw hering though she was staggering. She was wet. She walked to them and smiled. "Mission Aplished!" She said breathing heavily and Damien smiled. He hugged her very tightly to himself almost choking her. "I''m fine, I''m fine, I promise.." She said and then broke the hug. "Jade, you know what to do.." She muttered breathlessly and Jade nodded. "Good job, all of you.." She said and as she took another step. She felt very dizzy and immediately she went limp but Damien caught her immediately. He felt her temperature. "Oh my God! She''s burning io!" He said and then he carried her into a bridal style then he rushed into the car. Next morning. James yawned and walked to the living room still in his night clothes. He sat down on the couch and then turned on the tv. "BREAKING NEWS; AN EXPLOSION HAPPENED IN OLCAMPO SEAPORT.

"Then find out who ever it is and finish up the person, finish the person up or else I will be forced not to do business with you!" He yelled angrily and then hung up before James could say anything "Aaargh!" He groaned and ran his hand into his hair. Lauren returned with a box wrapped already. "What''s that?" He asked immediately he noticed it. "I don''t know.." She shrugged. "But it''s nothing bad. I had it scanned already..'' She said and opened it. Then she saw an envelope there. "What''s this?" She asked him and he snatched it from her. He opened it and then he saw a card. He read the contents and his eyes widened. "What?'' Lauren asked and also snatched it from him. "James Madison, do you like my surprise. This is just the beginning. More is yet toe..'' Lauren read out and James clenched his fists angrily. "Who the hell are you?!" He yelled out angrily and held his head. "Why are you frustrating me? Make yourself known already!" He yelled again. "Ssh, the maids are watching.." Lauren tried to pacify him but she pushed her off. "I swear when I get you, I''ll kill you.." He yelled again. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Messing with her Elle groaned and opened her eyes. She then stretched her body and sat up. "Good morning mummy.." Kiera''s tiny voice could be heard and Elle smiled. She looked up and saw her. Kiera was with a cup of coffee. "You look tired, mom.." She says. "I''m fine, baby.." Elle smiled and kissed her forehead. "Here, take this. This might help. Hot coffee.." "You are so sweet.." Elle said and took the cup of coffee from her, then she took a sip from it.

She dropped the coffee on the drawer near her and then caressed Kiera''s hair, kissing it. "Am I not enough for you? Is mummy not enough?" She asked and Kiera pinched her nose. ''Silly mummy, you are more than enough for me. I love you very much mummy. Mummy is my life..'' Kiera said and Elle smiled and hugged her more tightly. "But mummy, can I still follow you to work?" Kiera asked. "Noo, baby. You can''t. I''ll be extremely busy at work and I won''t have your time. I always want to focus on my princess. Don''t you think?"

"I didn''t believe it also cause I know brother but mum herself confirmed it and they have even chosen an engagement date.." He said and Elle''s jaws dropped again. "Calm down, Danielle.." She told herself. Her lips trembled, even her hands trembled on the sterling. "The engagement party is happening in two weeks.." Tyson added and Elle looked back at Kiera. Her eyes was getting teary but no! She will never cry. This is a minor thing. She won''t cry for it! Elle assured herself and then hung up the call. *** OUTSKIRTS OF THE CITY. Damien walked into the room where Langford was kept and he found him staring into space. There was bandages on both his legs, though they were still bound. Same with his hands. "Mayor Langford.." He called and He looked at him. "Are you willing to talk?" He asked further but Langford said nothing. Damien sighed. "I don''t want to hurt you since you are still recovering but don''t expect me to go easy on you tomorrow.." Damien said and was about to leave but. "I''ll tell you!" Langford suddenly said. Damisn smirked and turned back. "Go on.." He said. "He has very important and prominent people supporting him and one of them that I know is Senator Leo.." He said and Damien''s eyes widened. "What?!" He said frozen to the spot. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Undeniable Attraction "What do you mean by that? Senator Leo.." He said still shocked. Langford sighed and then smiled. "I know you all wouldn''t believe me cause of the charitable works he usually does but then he''s actually the worst after James. James is the head of the drug lord in China and he''s one of the board members.." Langford said and Damien shook his head. "What?" He said and shook his head. "Senator Leo..'' He said and then walked out. Unknown to him, Langford had seeded in losing the ropes a bit. "Finally, I can get myself out of here, if I try more harder.." He told himself and then smiled. ** Damien got into his car and drove off angrily "Senator Leo.." He said and hit the sterling hard. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "Gosh! I know how greedy you are but I never knew you are as greedy as this. You are so greedy!" He yelled and then bursted into tears. His phone rang and he wiped off his tears and then took his phone. He dropped the phone without answering the call when he saw that it was Elle calling. He picked up his phone and then dailed a number. The person picked up almost immediately. "Damien¡­" The masculine voice called. "I''m in New Zend for some work. I have some spare time. Can I see you?" He asked. "Of course, do you know how much I have been waiting for this. I''m really d you areing over.." "Do you want your favourite dishes prepared? How about I.." "You don''t need to bother, I will be only staying over for a few minutes.." He said and hung up. Damien tightened his hands on the sterling. "If I ever find out you are involved in this. I will have to forget everything and bring you down, you and your foolish cohorts.." He said and drove off speedily. ** "Mummy, what do you think of this drawing?" Kiera asked Elle who looked like she was lost in thoughts. There was no response from her and Kiera had to tap her. "Mummy, what happened?" Kiera asked again and that was when Elle jolted out of her reverie. Elle smiled. "It''s nothing princess, I''m fine.." She smiled and Kiera kissed her cheek. "What was that?" Elle chuckled. "To make you feel better.." She said and Elle smiled and hugged her tightly. Kiera smiled and pulled out of the hug. "Mum, look at this, I drew something.." She said and showed her the drawing of three people. "This is me.." Kiera pointed to the smaller creature she drew. "This you and that my daddy.." Kiera said and Elle lokked away. "Kiera has been talking a lot about her dad since she came here. What do I tell her?" Elle thought. "Mum, where''s my daddy? You promised to tell me where he is but where is he? Do I even have a father?" Kiera asked. Elle shook her head and cupped her cheeks. "Baby, you have a dad. Just that.." She paused. "He''s not here with us as of the moment.." Elle said. "Doesn''t he know I was born?" Kiera asked and Elle closed her eyes for a minute, then she opened them. "Did he abandon us because he doesn''t love us?" Kiera asked, her eyes getting teary. "No, no, no. That''s not the case. Your daddy will never abandon us.." Elle said. "I''m the one keeping you away from him in order to protect you. I''m so sorry.." Elle thought. "He''s just busy at the moment. He knows you were born and he really loved you baby, he does but he''s far away from us now so he can''t visit us or be with us for now but he loves you.." Elle said and pecked her cheek. Kiera smiled. "Baby, promise me you will stop asking about your daddy for now. Please.." She said and Kiera sighed. "When I met handsome, it just felt like he''s my dad, that''s why I keep on asking. I''m so sorry mum. I won''t ask you that question again.." Kiera said and Elle smiled. "It''s no problem. Just have it in mind that your daddy and mummy loves you very much¡­" Elle said and Kiera hugged her. "I love you mummy. Very very much.." She said and Elle kissed her hair. "Mummy.." She broke the hug. "I have to get some set of crayons for my colouring books but I don''t have them here, please can you go to the mall and get for me?" "Of course, I''ll go now if you want.." She said. "Yes, please¡­." Kiera poured and Elle pecked her lips. She stood up and grabbed her bag. "I''ll be back soon.." She walked out and then got into her car. As she was in her car, she decided to rewind some of the conversations of James and his wife. Of course, she had everything connected in her car. She needed to be alert at all times. After listening to it for a while, her eyes widened. She paused it immediately. "Senator Leo.." She said and then hurriedly dailed Damien''s number. It rang for several seconds but he didn''t answer it. "What''s wrong with himtely?" Elle groaned and then sighed. All she knew was that he was rted to Senator Leo in some way. She halted the car and then came out of it. SHOPPING MALL Jason sighed and looked around. He was on the phone with Nick. "What do you say you want again?" Jason asked, already frustrated. "Crayons.." "What?" "What the hell do you need that for Nick? Are you crazy?" He asked. "You know what I can''t get it. You bettere and get it yourself.." Jason said and made to hang up the call. "Pretty please, just please.." Nick said and Jadon sighed. "Fine.." He said and hung up. "That brat!" He yelled. He started looking around for the crayons he asked him to get. Meanwhile, by the other side, Elle stood looking for a particr colour of crayon to buy for Kiera. She smiled when she sighted and then she raised her to get hold of it but she was too short, so she started struggling to get it. Jason sighed and then turned. His eyes met with the back of a youngdy. She was trying so hard to reach to a packet of crayon. Jason smiled for a moment and walked up to her. Unknowingly he touched her waist as he helped her to get it. "Here.." He said and Elle''s eyes widened. She recognised that voice. She turned immediately but her head bumped into his chest, due to how close they were standing. Jason furrowed his brows but when she raised her head up at him. His eyes widened. "Elle.." He called like a whisper as his heart started to race faster. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Undeniable Feelings Elle smiled. "You are here.." She said foolishly. Jason moved away from her. "Yeah, my friend actually asked me to get something for him.." He said and looked at her hands. "You are getting crayons. Is your sister already here?" Jason asked and Elle immediately swallowed hard. "Of course not. It''s not mine. It''s for a friend of mine. Her daughter loves crayon so I''m getting it as a birthday present.." Elle said and he nodded. "Okay.." He said and then turned back. Meanwhile Elle''s gaze was still on him that she didn''t know that someone was walking behind her with a trolley. She continued moving backwards that way. Until Jason paused and took his lips. "Should I just tell her?" He asked himself and then he turned back. His eyes widened when he saw what was happening. "Elle.." He called and then rushed up other. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her away from there. Jason sighed out in relief. Even Elle was surprised at what happened. "What were you thinking?" He asked her and she took her lips in and then brought it out. "I.."She paused. "Congrattions!" She suddenly said and he furrowed his brows. "What?" "Yeah, I heard you are getting married to Giselle soon. So congrattions!" Elle said with a fake smile. Jason scoffed and then removed his hand from her waist. "Seriously!" He muttered and then turned to walk away but he paused. He clenched his fists and turned back again. "Well, then I''ll personally invite you to the engagement party. It''s in two weeks time and you will be a special guest and Yeah! I also heard you are officially Tyson''s girlfriend. Congrats too, future sister in law. See you around.." He said and then turned to walk away. "Seriously, are you trying to piss me off?" Elle blurted out without realising. "What?"Jason said and turned to face her. "Aren''t you the one I should be asking that? Stop fooling me!" He snapped at her and Elle scoffed. "How am I fooling you?" She asked back. "Pretending to my friend, and acting clingy to me and my brother. I really get confused. You are like a chameleon just changing its colours each time. Tell me.." His gaze suddenly hardened. He moved closer to her and looked straight into her eyes. "Tell me if I''m wrong. Sometimes I get the feeling that you are using me or my brother. But I don''t want to believe it. Tell me if I''m wrong..'' He said and her heart skipped. "What ¡­. what are you saying?" She snarled at him. "And you act like her. You behave like her too much that I so much hated it.." He said and her eyes widened. "I''m starting to suspect you. I''m doubting your intentions. You are too good to be real and why is that you act and behave like her exactly? I really want to know. I badly want to.. I badly want to know because it''s killing me in the inside.." He sighed and closed his eyes. A tear fell from Elle''s eyes but she quickly wiped it off. She really felt like hugging him, badly felt like it but no! Not now.." Jason opened his eyes and it met with her cold eyes. "I have no idea on what you are talking about. I''m neither using you nor your brother and if you feel like that''s the case, then I''ll stop being friends with you, if you want it and also, I have no idea on who you are talking about and I''m sorry if I reminded you of your ex lover or anything but then I''m no one else. I''m Danielle Browns. Not anyone else.." She said and she made to walk away but then a familiar voice stopped her. "Miss Danielle Browns.." Elle turned back immediately and she rolled her eyes seeing that it was Giselle and Tyson. "Baby.." Tyson said. He walked to her and hugged her. Her eyes went to Jason immediately and she saw him tightening his fists. "Gosh!" She thought inwardly. Tyson broke the hug and made to peck her but she stylishly avoided it "Oh! You came shopping with my fiancee.." Giselle said and Jason ran his hands into his hair. He grabbed her forearm. "Don''t you start any trouble here.." He warned her and Giselle scoffed. She removed her hands from his. "Why are you here?" He asked. "I came shopping with Tyson. He said he wanted to take his sister inw for shopping.." Giselle smiled and Elle rolled her eyes. "Excuse me.." She said and made to leave but Tyson held her wrists. "Baby, let''s not go now. Let''s have lunch first with my brother and his fiancee.." Tyson smiled. "I''m sorry but.." "I''m interested.." Jason cut her off giving Tyson a in look. "Come on, Jason. Please.." Giselle said and grabbed his hand, whitening. Elle''s eyes trailed down to it and she rolled her eyes. "I''m in.." She said, ring at Jason. "Let''s go.." Giselle said and walked off with Jason. Elle rolled her eyes again, ring at her back figure as they all walked out. **** "So, let''s dig in.." Tyson smiled. Elle forced out a smile and they all started eating except Jason who didn''t lift a finger. He only watched them as they ate. He clearly told them he wasn''t interested in the first ce and nothing was going to change his mind. "So when is your wedding?" Tyson asked. "We haven''t nned that out. It shouldn''t concern you Tyson." Jason said and took a sip out of the water he was holding. "Come on, babe. He was just asking. He didn''t mean any harm.." "Did I ever give you the permission to call mr babe? Don''t you ever say that again.." Jason warned her and Elle chuckled silently and that caused her to choke. She started coughing and immediately Tyson passed her a ss of water. "Thanks¡­" She said and Tyson took an handkerchief and cleaned her mouth with it. Jason sighed and stood up. That was the height of it. "Have a nice lunch.." He said and walked out. As he walked out, he dailed a number and the person answered the call immediately. "Hey.." He called with a smile. "Handsome!!" Kiera yelled and he chuckled again. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "I miss you already.." "I miss you too princess. Do you know I was actually having a bad day until I heard your voice..'' He said and walked towards his car. Elle who was standing behind was listening to everything. She furrowed her brows confusedly. "What? Princess?" She remembered everything he said and she scoffed. "Wait, does he have another girlfriend?'' She thought aloud. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Chapter 53 A new face Elle shrugged and then she walked out. She smiled when she remembered earlier. It was obvious he still didn''t like Giselle. She smiled again and then walked to her car. She hopped in and just as she started the car, she remembered something. "Tomorrow is her birthday. Her real birthday. Her birthday as Asanel.." Suddenly a memory of how she celebrated her birthday with her parents shed in her head and the tears came pouring down again. Her hands tightened on the sterling as she remembered the fire and her mum''sst words. It was just to save herself and her baby. "Mum, Dad.." She bent her head on the sterling and wept bitterly. It''s been seven years but the pain is still fresh. Anytime she remembers it, it felt like her heart was ripping apart. She stopped crying and then wiped her tears. Her phone rang and she immediately picked it up without checking who was calling. "Hey babe.." Tyson called and she rolled her eyes. "You left already.." "Yeah.." She replied. "Seriously, we don''t even have the time to go out on dates again. Why?'' He asked and Elle gave it a thought. She should stop neglecting Tyson cause he was still useful to her. He will be the one to help her in everything. "Hm, I''m sorry. I''ve just been busytely but we can go out this evening or night.." Elle said. "I won''t be chanced this evening but we can go clubbing this night.." He said and Elle sighed. "Fine then.." He replied. "Bye, love you.." "Same here.." Elle said and hung up. She scoffed. "He possibly doesn''t expect me to say I love you to him.." Elle then dalied Damien''s number but it was still the same. He didn''t answer the call. "I really hope he''s okay. And I have to go see Langford this night. Maybe after I''m done with Tyson before that.." She said and then drove off. ** SENATORIAL RESIDENCE. Damien got down from the car. Guards were hovering around like bees. As soon as he got to the entrance of the mansion, the guards stopped him and scanned making sure he wasn''t with anything harmful at all. "Go in.." One of them said and opened the door for him and he walked in. As soon as he got in, his eyes scanned everywhere. "Son!" A voice called and he looked up to see his father standing upstairs, staring down at him from there. Damien sighed and then Leo proceeded downstairs. "Son.." He called again when he got closer and made to hug him but Damien moved backwards. "Let''s not act like we are close. It won''t work.." Damien said coldly and Leo sighed. "Just what can I do that will make you forgive me Damien? What can I do?" Leo asked in a broken voice. Damienughed coldly and looked away. Then he faced him. "Find mum. Find her and bring her back and send that stupid mistress of yours away!" He yelled angrily and Leo sighed. "Son.." Leo called. "I told you never to call me that again!" Damien yelled at him. Leo sighed again. "Your mum left us of her own free will. She left me when I started pursuing politics.." "That''s because you changed. You started smoking, drinking and worse you cheated on her with numerous women. When you became a mayor, you would hardlye home.." "Mum became depressed. She left because of that. She just left a note and ever since I was eight, I never saw mum again. Mum never showed up again.." He said in a pained voice. "But I became a father to you. I filled up the void your mother created.." Damien scoffed and red at him coldly. "You never did so. You never came home. I had to be by myself until when I was sixteen. You decided to send me to Austra, leaving me alone again.." Leo sighed and held his shoulders. "I gave you everything you wanted, a mansion, money. Everything!" "But you never gave me a home, nor your time, not even your love. All you cared about was your political ambitions. Do you even I know I was bullied in school while being in Austalia, dejectedly, I ran out of ss that day and got hit by a car. I had a very fatal ident. Did you know about that?!" Damien yelled at him angrily and Leo''s eyes widened. His lips trembled. "I called your school.." "That was two weekster, I told them to tell you I was sick and it was just a minor one. You even promised to visit but what happened? You couldn''t. You couldn''te because of a very important conference!" Damien talked and Leo''s eyes became teary. "I''m sorry. I''m really so sorry.." Leo said. "If I hadn''t met my savour, she saved me from dying. She took me to the hospital and cared for me. Her and her daughter. It was through her that I met someone special to me.." "At least I''ve been doing great nowadays.." Damien said and Leo sighed. He cleaned up his tears with his thumb. Damien sniffed. "The reason that actually brought me here is this simple question. Do you know James Madison? Are you so close?" Damien asked and Leo looked at him shocked. "What?" He mumbled while Damien stared at him. "I''m waiting for answer. Do you know James Madison?" Damien asked again. Leo clenched his fists angrily and forced out a smile. "I do.." He responded. "How?'' Damien asked further and Leo bit his lips. "How did he know?" He wondered. "I have been keeping this away from my son because I want to keep him safe but then who would take over my legacy when I''m done. Should Ie clean to him and introduce my business to him?" He wondered and looked at Damien who was still staring at him coldly. *** Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Wellington International Airport. She walked out of the airport smiling. The wind blew her hair away and it got stuck on her face. She smiled cutely and moved it way. Then she removed her sunsses revealing her very pretty babyish face. "Aaah, I''m finally back to stay for good. I''m really back for good.." She giggled like a child and then brought out her phone. "Should I inform Jason first or should I give him a surprise?" She asked and then smiled again. "I''ll give him a surprise and spank him for forgetting me and not even calling me. How could he forget me? His pretty queen.." She chuckled. "I love you Jason.." She giggled and then entered the car. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Trying to escape BACK AT THE SENATORIAL RESIDENCE. "No, no. I can''t tell him anything at thus moment. Knowing how my son is. He can re up at any moment.. " "But how did he know of my involvement with James. That stupid fool must be careful.." He thought. "Dad, I''m asking you a simple question.." Damien said and Leo jolted out of his thoughts. "Ahem..'' He cleared his throat. "Of course, I know him. I mean who wouldn''t?" Leo shrugged. "Moreover we are politicians.." He added. ''That''s not what I''m asking about, Dad. Do you know him personally? Are you very close to him? Do you guys do business together? Those are the questions I''m insinuating at!" Damien snapped and Leo sighed. "Believe me son, I don''t have anything to do with that man aside politics. That''s it.." Leo said and Damien just stared at him. No matter how hard he was trying to believe him, one of part of him didn''t believe him. "So are you in town for now or you are leaving soon?" Leo asked. "I''m leaving soon. I have no business whatsoever here.." "Son, you should stay here. Settle down here. Get married and have kids.." Damien chuckled silently. "Really? Now you are acting concerned? Sorry dad, I''m not ready now for all those stuff you mentioned. I will be leaving soon. I can''t stay here, remember I have no family here.." Damien said and Leo sighed again. "Okay then.." Damien said and turned to leave. "Wait, son. I arranged your favourite meals for you. Aren''t you going to have some.." "There is no need for that.." Damien said and walked out. Leo sighed. "If you only know I am doing this all for you. Just because of you. Your mum couldn''t understand anything. She didn''t want to understand and that''s the reason she left us but I promise to make you my legacy. You will be the owner of everything I have. All my businesses in out and of this country. The time is not right now.." He said and brought out his phone. He dalied James''s number and he answered the call immediately. "Yes, Senator Leo.." "Are you sure you are keeping our identity known?" Leo asked. "Of course, Senator. No one knows we are business partners.." James replied. "Wow! But my son has suspicions. You need to be careful so we won''t get caught.." He said. "Yes, Senator.."

"Make sure this mission is a sess. I don''t want to hear that it failed again or else we are going to lose our positions.." Leo said. "Yes, I can''t risk losing my position. Don''t worry, I''ll make sure I find out who the spy is.."He said. "Good.." Leo said and hung up. A smile appeared on his lips. *** Jason walked into the house and met Nick in walking on hisptop. He shook his head and then Nick looked up. "Hi, baby.." He winked. Jason scoffed and threw the packet of crayon at him. "Tell me what do you need that for?!" He almost yelled at him. "Nothing so important. Actually a friend of mine.." He paused and looked at Jason who was ring at him. "I meant my friend son''s is having his birthday celebrations. So I need to give him a gift. I just thought about giving him crayons. Not so bad.." He said and winked at him again. "Because of you, I bumped into her again today and this.." Jason stopped and slumped into the nearby sofa, then held his chest. "This stupid heart of mine almost betrayed me..'' He said. "Aww, it''s seems you are whipped by that girl. Just like you were with Asanel.." Nick said. Jason suddenly sat up. "Yeah, I just remembered tomorrow''s Asanel''s birthday.." Nick groaned. "That again. You''ve been celebrating her birthday for seven years now even if she''s not here anymore. Gosh! I''m tired of talking¡­" Nick said. Jason smiled as he remembered something. FLASHBACK. Seven years earlier. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to youuu¡­" Jason sang and Asanel smiled. "Gosh! You really surprised me!" She hit his arm slightly and he chuckled. "Go on, make a wish.." He said and she chuckled. "I thought you don''t believe in those things.." She rolled her eyes. "I''m doing all these for you.." He winked at her and she blushed heavily. "Stop it!" She whined. "Go on, make a wish.." He said and she nodded. She closed her eyes and then opened it. Then she blew off the candles on the cake. Jason smiled and then ced the cake on the table in front of them. "What did you wish for?" Jason asked. "It''s a secret!" Asanel said cing her index finger on her lips. "Oh! I know what you wished for. To be the girlfriend of the most handsome guy in your school right and that''s me.." Jason said proudly. Asanel scoffed. "You wish!" She said. END OF FLASHBACK. "Why are you smiling?" Nick asked jolting him out of his thoughts. "Nothing.." He quickly said. "You were..'' He was about to talk when the door bell suddenly rang. "I''ll get it.." Jason said and stood up. He walked to the door and then opened it. "Jason.." A voice called and Jason''s eyes widened. He could recognise that voice from anywhere. He looked up and his eyes widened the more. Then he smiled widely. "Deborah!" He called and she jumped on him hugging him tightly. "My baby''s back.." He said and she giggled. She broke the hug and poked his forehead lightly. "Why didn''t you call me? I was alone in the states and none of you even called me that often. It was only mom who checked up on me sometimes. Even Tyson didn''t call me, Dad, and worse even you.." She frowned her face making her look more cute. Jason chuckled seeing her that way. "You areughing.." She said and he hugged her again. ''I missed my baby so much.." He pulled away from the hug and then pecked her forehead. "And that reminds me, I came back because I heard the news. You are finally getting married to Giselle. You agreed?!" She yelled and he moved back slightly. "Deb, it''s not what you think.." Jason said. "I told you I don''t like her. I don''t like her! She''s pompous and thinks she''s the most beautiful. I just don''t like her!" Deborah yelled and Jason sighed. "And don''t tell me you''ve gotten over Asanel, cause it''s clearly not true. I knew how crazy you are about her! You can''t lie to me, Michael!" She yelled again and Jason sighed again. "I actually came back because of that. And can you believe I told her you were still in love with that girl but she didn''t believe me. That''s how stupid she is!" "Gosh! Will you stop yelling?" A voice said and Deborah frowned and looked up. Her jaws dropped when she saw him. He was handsome. "Who are you? What are you doing here?" She asked. "I''m your brother''s best friend.." Nick said, cing his hand on Jason''s neck. "And your brother doesn''t like that Giselle. Infact I don''t too. For your info, he''s in love with another girl!" Nick said and Jason gave him a re but he shrugged. "Oh really!" Deborah squealed. She quickly ran to Jason and hugged him again. "Who''s the luckydy? Tell me! Tell me!" She said as soon as she broke the hug. "It''s no one. He''s just bbing.." Jason said. "Come on, tell me.." She said and just then her phone rang. "Just a minute.." She says and brought out her phone from her bag. Her smile altered when she saw who was calling. "What''s it? Who''s calling?" He asked. "It''s.. it''s dad.." Her voice shook. "Wait, did you tell him you areing?" Jason asked and she shook her head. Even her hands were trembling. "Gosh!" Jason groaned. "I''m sure he must have found out. What do I tell him?'' She asked with fear. *** Elle got out of the car. She took her face cap and wore it. Well, she''s already here at the safe house. She still needs to know more about that senator Leo. She knocked on the gate and the gate keeper opened it. She then walked in. She mer de and his men outside. They were drinking and ying some games. "It''s boss ma''am.." One of them said. de immediately sprang up on his feet. "Boss ma''am.." He said. "Surprised on seeing me, right?" She asked. "I asked you to keep an eye on the hostage. What if he runs off?" She asked him. "Trust me! Boss, he''s in there. He doesn''t even has the chance to escape.." He said and Elle nodded. She walked into the room he was kept in and her eyes widened with what she saw. "de!" She screamed and immediately de ran to her. "Boss ma''am.." He called. He got there and he also froze to the spot. Langford was not in. He had sessfully taken off the bonds on him. "Where''s he?" Elle asked angrily. "I swear he was just here now I.. " He was still talking when Elle pushed him off. She ran to the back and there she saw him climbing down the fence. "Langford!" She yelled with clenched fists. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Chapter 55 A surprise Langford looked at her and then smirked. Then he fell on the ground causing a thud. Elle''s eyes widened. She took her gun and also ran to the fence. She climbed on it with ease and also came down. She saw him a little distance from her. "That bastard!" She groaned and continued to run after him. Meanwhile Langford was having difficulties in running because of his two injured legs but he smirked when he remembered what he did. He had sessfully taken one of the goons phone and called the cops with it. Elle took her gun and cocked it. "I swear I''ll kill you, Langford.." She said with reddened eyes. She pulled the trigger but nothing happened. Her eyes widened and then it dawned on her that she took the wrong gun. This was not loaded with bullets. "Gosh!" She groaned and continued running after him. "Langford! You better stop running cause when I catch you. I''m going to make your life miserable. Stop running!" She yelled again and but he didn''t. He fell hard on the ground but he forced himself to stand and he continued running. "Dang!" Elle groaned. She took her phone and dailed Damien''s number as she ran but he was not avable. Slowly she was catching up with him. She looked up and saw a car rushing towards them in full speed. Her eyes widened and Langford stopped running, his heart hammering against his chest. But all of a sudden, the car stopped in front of him and Damien got out of it. He brought out his gun and pointed it at him. "Just take a step and you are dead.." He said coldly and Elle heaved a sigh of relief. Langford suddenly smirked. "Don''t feel too good cause I''ve already called the police and I''m sure they are on their way soon.." He said and both Elle and Damien''s eyes widened. "You bastard!" Damien yelled and immediately hit the gun on his head. He fell down unconscious immediately. "Dam, we need to get out of here.." He said and she nodded. They both carried Langford to the car and Damiem drove off. Elle brought out her phone and then called de. "You need to get out of there, the police areing there soon.." She said. "Okay, boss ma''am.." "But what about your car? Hope nothing important is in it?" He asked and Elle smiled. "No, I didn''t bring that one. It''s fine.." Elle said and hung up. "Elle, we still have to take that route to the saf house tond to the next street.." Damien said. "Take the route.." Elle replied him and as they were going, the police car passed by them. Elle smiled again. "Thanks foring at the right time, Dam.." Elle said. "It''s nothing. I don''t know why but I felt thus bastard got something up his sleeves. So I couldn''t keep calm at all. I came here straight.." Damien said. "Where did you go? I tried your number several times but you didn''t answer my call. I was very worried.." "It''s nothing. I just went out for a walk.." He answered her but Elle felt there was more to it. However she refused to ask him more. "Do you know Senator Leo and James are working together?" Elle asked and Damien''s fists tightened on the sterling. "Yeah I do.." He said reluctantly. "They are also nning a mission but I don''t know what that is. We have to stop them on time.." Elle said and Damien nodded without saying a word. "Dam, are you okay?" She asked and Damien looked at her. "Yes.." He faked a smile. "You can lie to anyone but not me. I know you are not okay but I won''t force you to talk now. I will wait till when you are ready.." She said she he nodded. "Thanks a lot, Elle.." He said. "And about senator Leo.

Elle said and Kieraughed. "I don''t want to speak to him. He didn''t even call me!" Kiera said and Damien chuckled. "I''m sorry, sweetie. Uncle cutie is very busy. But you know I always make time for my princess. I''m really sorry.." Damien said. "I can only forgive you on one condition and guess what''s that?" Kiera asked. "Ice cream, strawberry vour.." Damien said and Elle smiled, remembering it''s also Jason''s favourite vour. She really took after her dad in many things. "No, no, you can''t have that. You might get cough.." Elle said. "Uncle cutie, can''t you see mummy is a pain in the ass.." Kiera said and Elle''s eyes widened. "Princess, where did you learn that from?" She said. "I won''t tell you. It''s a secret between me and uncle cutie.." Kiera said and Elle red at Damien who laughed as he drove the car away. JASON''S MANSON. "Thanks again Jason, I love you.." Deborah said hugging Jason tightly and he smiled. "I love you too, my baby.." He said and they broke the hug. "I can''t believe my dad agreed so easily. I''m sure it was because it''s you. We all know you are dad''s favourite son.." Deborah winked and Jason scoffed. "That''s not true.." He retorted. Well, Jason answered the call and told James he was the one who asked Deborah toe so she could attend their engagement party. "Well, I can''t say that that I will attend your engagement party. I won''t. I wonder why you have to get married to someone you don''t even love.." Deborah said and Jason smiled. "I just love you cutie.." He said and cupped her cheeks. "Don''t bribe me, Mister.." She said and Nick sighed watching the both of them. "What''s this?'' He suddenly asked. "What?!" They both said simultaneously. "Hey, you.." He pointed at Deborah. "Don''t call me you, my name is Deborah or you can call me Deb..'' She said. "I don''t care whatever is your name. You just came here and took my best friend from me. I won''t allow that.." He said and grabbed Jason''s right hand. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "I''m sure you aware of the fact that I''m his sister, hmmm.." Deborah said with a smile and then grabbed the other hand. "Let go of him! This instant!" He said and Deborah stuck out her tongue at him. "You should be the one to let him go. I can''t share my brother with you.." Deb said and Nick scoffed. "Me neither, I can''t share my best friend with you.." Nick red at her and she returned the re. Jason sighed. He has both a crazy best friend and worse a very crazy sister. Knowing both of them, none of them will be ready to give up. "Wait. Just a minute, can you both let me go.." He said but the both of them refused, still ring at each other. "Why don''t you choose Jason? Deborah said and Jason sighed. "That''s cheating. We both he will choose you. You are his sister right?" Deborah smiled. "You already admitted it. He''ll chose me.." "That''s because you are his sister. You are his family member.." "That''s not the only reason.." "Of course.." "Wait!" Jason suddenly yelled. "Nick, you have an online presentation at 7: 30pm and Deb, Mum and Dad are expecting you. I''m sure you know your curfew''s time is 8PM. You wouldn''t want to be punished.." Jason said. The both of them red at each other again before releasing his hands simultaneously. "I have to go now, Jay.." "Don''t call him that. I''m the only one who gets to call him that.." Nick said. "I also call him that sometimes if you dont know.." Deborah rolled her eyes. Her phone started ringing and she gasped when she saw it was her mum calling. "It''s mum.." She said. "I have to go.." She added and pecked Jason''s cheek. "I''ll drive you home.." Jason offered. "No, there''s no need for that. I''ll be fine..'' She said and he smiled. "I love you. ." He said and pecked her forehead. "Go home.." Deborah smiled and then walked out of the house. "Gosh! Why were you bickering with her like a kid? Aren''t you much more older than her?" "I just wanted to get on her nerves and it felt so good.." He said and Jason hit his head hard. "Stop it!" He groaned and Jason chuckled. "But to be Frank, your sister''s really pretty. She''s my type.." Nick said and licked his lips. Jason hit his head again. "Not my sister, Nick. She''s just twenty. I swear I''ll kill you if you try to mess with her.." Jason said and Nick raised his hands up in surrender. "I was just joking.." He said and Jasonughed. *** 10:30PM. Elle smiled as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was looking very hot. Her phone rang and she answered the call. "Hey babe, where are you?" Tyson asked. "I''m on my way already. I''ll be right there.." she replied him and then applied a pink lipstick on her lips. "Okay then. I have a surprise for you.." He said and Elle smiled. "What''s it?" She asked Curiously. "You will see when you get here, don''t worry.." He said and Elle smiled again and then hung up.

She was fast asleep. Elle smiled and then arranged her hair properly before nting a kiss on her forehead. "Love you princess.." She said and then walked out. When she got out, she was surprised seeing Damien there. "Dam, what are you doing here?" She asked. "Nothing. I just figured out that I shouldn''t be leaving you alone with that guy. We can''t trust him..'' He said and she smiled. "I can take care of myself.." She said and he shrugged. "Still, let me take you to the bar." He said and she nodded. *** BAR. Noises and music were sting from the bar. Elle groaned as she walked in. She hated these kind of ces but she just had to do it. She picked up her phone and dailed Tyson''s number. "Where are you?" she asked and suddenly she felt hands wrapped around her waist. She gasped. "I''ve sighted youing since.." Tyson said and Elle faked a smile. She quickly removed his hands from her waist and faced him. "Shall we go?" She said and he led her to the table. Surprisingly, she met Jason seated with a guy and Giselle with a very prettydy seated next to her. Hers and Jason''s eyes met and she quickly looked away. Meanwhile Jason took his eyes to Tyson''s and Elle''s joined hands and he scoffed. He took his ss of wine and took a sip of it. Elle noticed it and stylishly removed her hand from Tyson. "Hi everyone.." "Wow! She''s beautiful.." Nick and Deborah said simultaneously. "Gosh!" Nick groaned and Deborah rolled her eyes. Deborah stood up. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. "Tyson told me you are his girlfriend. You are really beautiful I mustmend. Far prettier than someone who feels too pompous.." She said with a smile. "Hm, who are you?" Elle asked confusedly. "Oh sorry, I''m Deborah, Jason and Tyson''s sister.." She said and stretched out her hand for a handshake. Elle smiled and epted it. "You are pretty too.." She smiled and they withdrew their hands. Nick stood up next. "I''m Nichs, but you can call me Nick for short. I''m this guy''s best friend.." He said pointing to Jason and Elleughed. "Nice to meet you.." Elle said and they both shook hands but before releasing it, he gave her a kiss on it. Elle''s eyes widened and she chuckled while Jason hit Nick. Tyson rolled his eyes and made Elle sit. ''So I arranged this meeting for us to meet but then..'' She paused and looked at both Tyson and Elle. Then she stood up. "Elle, please a minute..'' She said and then looked at Nick. "Get up!" She ordered him. "Why?" He asked and She rolled her eyes. "Please.." She added reluctantly and he smirked. Then he stood up and patted her hair while she red at him. "What are you doing now. By 11: 30pm you should be back home!" Jason said and she pouted. "Please Jay.." She pleaded while Giselle rolled her eyes. She never liked Deborah to begin with. "Elle, pleasee here.." She said and Elle stood up wondering what she was up to. Deborah took Elle''s hands and then made her sit beside Jason. She gestured to Nick to sit beside Tyson and she sat beside Giselle. Then she looked at Tyson. "Sorry bro, but she''s too good for you. I mean too beautiful. You really don''t look good together. I can say Elle and Jason make a very good pair.." Deborah smiled while Nick bit his insides in order to prevent himself fromughing. Tyson red at angrily at Jason while Giselle clenched her fists angrily wishing she could just kill Deborah. Meanwhile Damien bursted outughing from where he was seated. He had been watching everything from the start. "That girl is a savage queen. And to think she has a very innocent face.." He said andughed more harder, holding his stomach. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Truth and Dare "What''s the meaning of this nonsense?" Giselle snapped hitting her hands on the table and then she stood up. "Right? Deb, what are you doing?" Tyson asked calmly. He could never raise his voice ok his sister. Jason just scoffed and took a sip of the wind he was drinking. If he didn''t know Deborah better. He was sure she was doing this to upset Giselle. It was very obvious. Deborah looked at Giselle and smiled. "What''s wrong? I didn''t say anything wrong. Did I?" She asked and Giselle scoffed. "Of course, you did. I''m his fiancee. So how can you say they look good together?!" She yelled at her. "Giselle!" Both Jason and Tyson shouted at the same time. Giselle flinched immediately. "Don''t ever raise your voice at my sister!" Jason warned her and Deborah smirked. Tyson calmed down since he was about to say the same thing. "Okay, let''s a y a game.." Deborah said. "What game?" Tyson asked. "Truth or dare.." Deborah said. "No!" Both Jason and Tyson cut in. "But why?" She asked. "Why else? You are too young to y this game!" Tyson said. "But Tyson, I y these games in college very well and besides I''m twenty years of age. And both you and Jason promised me to do whatever I want while being here..'' Deborah said. "Fine, you only have 30 minutes.." Jason said. "And I''m out of this game.." He said and Deborah pouted. "This is why I don''t likeing home, you guys don''t let me be free. Fine, I''ll just get going.." She said and made to stand up. ''Fine, I''ll y. I''ll y if that makes you happy.." He said with a sigh and Elle smiled. "Fine then. Let''s start.." "The rules of the games are if you pick the truth and you can''t answer it, you need to drink three full sses of the wine and also if you pick a dare and can''t do it also, then you also have to drink the three sses of wine.." "Stop this Deb, you are minor.." Jason cut in. "Duh, I''m 20 years of age. Not a minor.." ** Minutester. The bottle was spinned and it was Jason''s turn. Jason sighed. "I''m really not interested in this game.." He groaned. It was Nick''s time to ask the questions. "Truth or dare?" He asked with a smirk. Jason gave him a look telling him not to try anything rubbish. "Dare.." He replied non chntly. Nick smirk grew wider. "I dare you to kiss thedy beside you for at least two minutes." He said and everyone''s eyes widened except Deborah who wasughing silently. Elle''s heart started hammering against her chest. "Gosh!" She mumbled. "I''m in a deep mess.." She thought while Jason''s hand tightened on the ss of wind he was holding. "What the hell?! Are you nuts?" Tyson yelled angrily. He stood up, breathing heavily. "Hey, calm down. Don''t tell me, you don''t know how the game works. It''s just a game. You can have yourdy to your selfter besides he''s engaged also and his fiancee didn''t say anything, or do you?" Nick asked Giselle with a smirk. She gave him a cold re. He returned it. ''So over to Jason. Are you in or not?" He asked him. Jason turned to face Elle. Her heart raced more faster and she looked down clutching her dress tightly. Jason took his hands to her jaw and raised it up. Deborah squealed inwardly and Nick smiled the more. Damien sighed and looked away from where he was watching. He closed his eyes tightly. He held her waist and pulled her more closer to him and Elle gasped. Tyson gritted his teeth and held unto his drink tightly while Giselle felt like bringing out a gun and just shoot Elle. Both Elle and Jason stared into each other''s eyes deeply, their heart racing as fast as it could and their breaths mashing together. Jason looked at her beautiful pink lips and then brought his face closer to hers, his hands caressing the right side of her face. Elle''s eyes went shut and just as their lips were about to meet. He pulled away. Elle opened her eyes immediately and released the breath she was holding. Both Giselle and Tyson get relieved immediately. Damien also sighed out and then he stood up. He walked away. "What''s wrong?" Nick asked. "I''m out!" Jason said and then took a bottle if wine. He poured it into his sscup and drank it. He did it three times and dropped his sscup. "I''m free now, right?" He said and wiped his lips with an handkerchief. The game went on and on and it stillnded on Jason. "Not again..''He groaned. His eyes was started to get blurry which he means he was getting drunk. He was not the type to drink too much. He looked up and when he saw it was Deborah, he breathed out. "Truth or dare.." "Truth.." He answered without hesitating. "What''s the name of the person you have feelings for and is she here?" She asked. Jason''s eyes widened. He had trusted that his sister wouldn''t ask a difficult question but here she is doing the same. "Not answering that..'' He said and took the bottle of wine. Elle looked at him worriedly. "You will get drunk.." She blurted out. "That''s better.." He replied and gulped down the remaining wine in the ss cup. Deborah stood up. "Please excuse me, I have to use the restroom.." She said and walked away. She smiled as she did. "It''s obvious. Jason is in love with her and that Elle, she doesn''t seem to even like Tyson. I could swear that the both of them were staring at each other. But.." She paused and then walked into the restroom. Once she was done, she washed her hands. As she was going out, Her phone rang and she smiled when she saw it was her best friend Joyce calling. She answered the call immediately. "Bestie!" She grinned. ''I''m fine and you?" She asked. "Of course, I''m enjoying my stay here. I really missed my brothers so much¡­" "Yeah, that''s true. The engagement party is in two weeks.." She said. "Hmn, I''m not sure about that. I''ve missed my family so much. I''ll talk to mum and dad and ask them If i can stay cause.." Meanwhile Damien paused when he saw her. He smiled remembering what she did earlier. But as he made to leave, he saw a guy trying to touch her butts from behind and she didn''t know since she was facing elsewhere. "Hey!" He called and then he rushed over to the guy. He caught his hand and twisted it before pushing him back. Deborah turned back immediately hearing the thud and her eyes widened when she saw Damien''s hands close to her butts. "You! How dare you? You pervert!" She yelled and then pped him hard across the cheek. Damien''s eyes widened and he held his cheeks. "Why did you p me miss?!" He asked angrily. "Well, just because you are handsome doesn''t mean you can go around with girls. Didn''t you just try to p my butts? Am I a joke to you? Don''t you think I''m like those stupid girls who will cheaply give themselves to you just because of your looks. I''m sure you are deceiving girls with those looks of yours!" She snapped at him. "Miss, you are misunderstanding things here. I''m not the pervert here. He.." He pointed to the guy on the ground. "He was the one who was trying to hit your butts. If I had known that you were going to hit me, I wouldn''t have helped you in the first ce..'' He said and Deborah''s jaws dropped in shock. "No, I meant sorry, I wasn''t thinking straight.." "And to think you are the governor''s daughter, what are you doing sote here?" He asked.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. Deborah''s eyes widened and she immediately covered his mouth with her palm. She looked around and started to Yeah him out. "Come with me!'' She said. ** Jason stood up immediately. "Join me in the car Nick.." He said and then walked away. His eyes was getting blurry and he started staggering when it got to a point. Elle sighed and then grabbed her bag. "I''ll get going now.." She smiled and Tyson stood up. "I''ll excort you out." Tyson said. "No, it''s no need. You have to wait for your sister right? I''ll be fine.." She said and pecked his cheeks. "I love you.." She whispered and Tyson smiled sheepishly. "Okay.." He said and sat down. Elle smiled. She did all that deliberately. As soon as she left, Giselle made to fo but Nick held her hand. "We are done yet.." He said and pulled her back to sit. *** Jason held his head as he walked outside. As he staggered, someone held him from behind. "Are you okay?" Elle asked worriedly. Jason scoffed when he heard that voice. He recognised her voice pretty well. "Now you are concerned.." He says and threw her hands off. "I don''t need any of your help..'' He said and made to walk away but his vision was blurry. "You need my help now. After now, I promise not to help you.." She said and then walked to him. She hung his arm around her shoulder as they both walked to his car. When they got to it, Jason took his car keys and then pressed a button it. The car beeped and Elle helped him get in. She fixed him properly in the back seat while Jason''s eyes were glued on her. "Now I can leave.." She smiled and justas she was about to open the car''s door, he held her hand and dragged her back. Elle gasped immediately. "What are you doing?" She asked in a whisper. He was looking at her with a softened gaze. "No, I should be asking you that.." He said and cupped her cheeks. "I''m really going crazy.." He whispered sending cold shivers down her spine. He brought his head closer to hers and Elle closed her eyes but she immediately opened them. She was starting to get weak merely by his touch and she couldn''t afford to it. His eyes went to her lips and before she knew it, his lips met with hers. Elle''s eyes widened as her heart started beating fast again and her eyes slowly went shut. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Sweet moments Elle heart continued to race faster as the kiss deepened. Jason''s other hand went to her waist and pulled her more closer. Elle''s eyes suddenly went opened and her senses came back. She immediately pushed him off. "This is.." She didn''t evenplete her statement before she turned to leave. Jason caught her wrist and made her face him. "You can do whatever you want to do after this.." He said and pulled more closer to him. "I don''t care.." He whispered against her lips before crashing his lips on hers. Elle tried to resist but he kissed more deeply. She stopped resisting and she started to reciprocate the kiss. Both of them were kissing each other senselessly until Jason broke the kiss. He looked at her for a while before he then kissed her neck. Elle''s eyes shut instantly as he sucked on her neck. Her hands went up to his hair and she kept tugging at it. Jason''s eyes suddenly flew open and he moved away. His head fell backwards. "What did he just do?" He asked himself. Elle bit her already swollen lip and then grabbed her bag. She opened the car''s door and ran down immediately. "Wait.." Jason called but she didn''t hear. "Gosh! What must I have been thinking? I shouldn''t have let my feelings get the better of me.." He said and fell on the seat again. *** Elle immediately ran into her car and covered her face with her palms. "What was I thinking kissing him back? What''s me and my feelings? Why are they fell bent on ruining my ns. I have to focus on my mission¡­" "Where''s Damien now?" She asked no one in particr. ** "What do you want miss?" Damien asked when Deborah pulled him to a corner. "How do you know I''m the governor''s daughter?" She asked, her hands folded under her chest. "What else? Through social media.." Damien shrugged. "I''m using a private ount and I don''t even take pictures with my parents. I don''t go to the public with them. So I''m wondering how you found out.." Deborah said with crossed look. Damien sighed. He shouldn''t have gotten involved with her. "I''m sorry miss. I don''t mean to pry into your private affairs but I just found out by chance..'' He said. "Oh! So you are a stalker. You are stalking me. For how long?!" She snapped at him with bewilderment and Damien''s eyes widened at how dramatic she was. "Miss, it''s not what you think. I''m not stalking you.." "Oh! So what were you saying? You are sorry that you didn''t pry into my private life. If that doesn''t mean stalking, then what are you trying to say?" She said at him. Damien groaned. Thisdy in front of him is a nutcase. Damien looked up and then smirked. He grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her to the wall gently. His hands were on both sides of the wall making it impossible for her to move. "W.. what are you doing?" She asked and he leaned more closer to her. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "I''m going to kiss you.." He said and her eyes widened. Damien bit his lower lip to prevent him from laughing hard. Her expression was to die for. "What¡­ why?" She stammered. "Preventing from talking so much.." He said leaning closer to her while her eyes widened the more. She raised her hands and then pushed him off. She ran a few distance away from him and she stopped. "I will never forget today. I''ll disgrace you soon enough. You pervert!" She yelled and ran off. Immediately she did, Damien bursted intoughter. He held his stomach andughed harder. "Oh gosh! My ribcage!" He groaned and continued tough. ** Nick entered the car. He smiled when he saw Jason sleeping already. "That brat!.." He said and hopped in. He started the car and Jason spoke. "What was that stunt you pulled up inside?" He asked and Nick turned to face him. "She''s the one right. Thatdy called Elle. I know you like her¡­" "How do you know that?" Jason asked and Nick chuckled. "It''s was so obvious. You kept on staring at her.." "Was I that obvious?" He sighed. "Bro, you arepletely whipped. Your eyes even show how much love you have for her. I''m sure your sister noticed too.." Nick said and Jason smiled. "She''s really like Asanel. She acts like her. They are so much alike and that''s one of the reason I fell in love with her. To be frank, I haven''t seen anyone who is like Asanel but she''s almost like her.." Jason said with a smile. "Yeah, you are crazy about her. Very crazy about her.." Nick said and drove off. ** Elle got to her room and fell on the bed. She touched her lips and then giggled. "Oh my goodness! I''m so crazy.." She said rolling on the bed. She grabbed a pillow and the memories came rushing to her head. She stood up and took a mirror. She looked at her neck and saw a hickey lying on her neck. "Gosh! It''s so obvious.." She said and touched it. "I shouldn''t have let that happen.." She said. Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Chapter 59 A changed personality The next day. MADISON''S MANSION. The family sat at the dining table having their breakfast. "So, Deborah, when will you be going back to the states?" James asked and Deborah sighed. "I''m not sure now. I don''t think I want to go.." She said and James dropped the fork he was holding down. "What do you mean by that?" He asked. "Dad, we have good colleges here, right. I want to study here. I don''t want to go back to the states¡­" She groused. "Youngdy, you are going back to the states whether you like it or not. You have to.." James said and resumed eating. "Dad, Mum, I don''t want to go back please. Please just let me study here.." Deborah pleaded. "No, it''s final!" James said. "Hun, let her stay here for the meantime. At least until when Jason and Giselle get married.." Lauren caught in. "That''s not happening. The kidnapping cases of young girls are rming these days. What if she bes a victim? What happens then huh?" He asked and Lauren kept quiet immediately. Deborah dropped her spoon and then stood up. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "It''s very obvious you don''t like me. You are always controlling my life from the start and I hate it. I hate you all and don''t worry, you won''t see me here as from today!" She yelled and then ran out immediately. "Deborah!" Both Lauren and James yelled. "Come back here!" Lauren shouted and they all ran out. Tyson scoffed and faced his parents angrily. "I have always never said anything but do you guys have to be so demanding? This was how you sent Jason away to the states. Forced him to get married to Giselle. You even tried to force me to be a politician but I didn''t want to and now, Deb, don''t ruin her life, please. You both have seeded in ruining both I and Jason''s life. I won''t let you do that to my sister!" He said angrily and then walked away. Lauren immediately broke down into tears. "Oh my gosh! Debby, my baby.." She said and James sighed and pulled her up. "Don''t cry.." He hushed her and then hugged her in order tofort her. *** Jason was already getting ready to leave when the door bell rang. "Who''s that?" He asked as he walked to the door.

"Jason, I don''t want to go. I don''t want to go back to the states. But Dad and mum.." She paused and then hupped. "They want me to. Can''t I stay with you guys?" She asked and he sighed. "Baby, stop crying now. You are going to run a temperature if you continue to do so. I''ll try to convince them to let you stay so please stop crying.." He said and kissed her hair. She broke the hug and cleaned her face. "I''m sorry but can I stay here for today?" She asked with a pout and he nodded. "Of course baby. I love you.." He said and she nodded. His phone rang and he took it out of his pocket. He smiled when she saw who was calling. "Who''s that?" Deborah asked him, noticing the broad smile on his lips. "It''s my princess.." He replied and answered the call. "Hey, Handsome. Good morning.." She said and Jason smiled the more. "Good morning, princess. How was your night?" He asked and sheughed. "It was great. Do you know I''m going to be home tutored from today.." Kiera said. "Wow! That''s good. Do you like it?" He asked. Of course not. I don''t want that but mummy doesn''t want to understand and that''s what I don''t understand. First of all, she doesn''t want me to go to a regr school and she doesn''t want to take me to her work.." Kiera said and Jasonughed. "Princess, you don''t have to get mad at your mum. She''s just doing whatever she thinks is best for you. All mothers act like that¡­" He said. "Really does your mum act like that too?" Kiera asked and Jason went quiet for a while. "Yea.." He replied. "My mum did what was best for me regardless of whether I liked it or not.." Jason said and Kiera smiled. "You must really love your mum.." Kiera said. "Yeah, I do. I love her a lot.." "Well, mummy ising and I have to pretend like I''m studying my spellings. I''ll call youter. I love you.." She said and he grinned. "I love you too. Take care of yourself princess.." He said and she smiled. "Love you.." She said again and then hung up. Jason smiled again. "Who have you been talking to? You have just been smiling since? Is she Elle, thedy from yesterday?" Deborah asked and Jason scoffed. "Of course not, that''s not her. She''s actually a little girl. I''ve only known her for five days now but she''s very sweet. I met in the airport when I went to pick up Nick and I must say, she makes me feel less burdened. I am always happy whenever I see her.." He said and Deborah smiled. "Sometimes I feel like there is a connection between us both like we are father and daughter. I just don''t know why but I love her so much already.." Jason said and Deborah stood up. She walked to him and then hugged him. "I''m very happy. You have changed so much after I left. You were so grouchy before, you rarely smiled and you hated things going wrong but now, you are lively.." Deborah said and broke the hug. "And Jason, you can''t lie to him. I know you clearly love Tyson''s girlfriend. It''s so evident. You really don''t know how to hide your feelings, do you?" She poked his cheek and he smiled.

Since we are well updated on James''s moves. n on how you can get to him. Let''s get this n done so I can finally breath well. I have to finish this mission before the end of next month. We have to do so and get this done and over with.." Elle said with a determined look and she hung up. "Why''s the birthday girl looking so fiesty.." Lady red voice said behind her. Elle smiled and turned back but she gasped when she saw her holding a cake with a lit candle light on it. "Haooy birthday Asanel!" She called her hy her real name and tears ran down her eyes but she quickly wiped them off. "I totally forgot.." She said and Lady red wiped off the tears with her other hand. "Why are you crying?'' She asked. "I just feel so happy, Mamita. Thank you so much for always being there for me. You stood in the gap like a mother for me. Thank you.." Elle said and Lady red sighed. "It''s nothing Elle¡­" Lady red said. "Blow out the candle now or they will melt.." Lady red said and Elle smiled. She closed her eyes and then opened them before she blew out the candle. "Hapoy birthday Asanel.." She said and they hugged. "Thank you so much, Mamita. I don''t know what I would have done without you. You made me and gave my life. You saved my Kiera''s life also and I''m very grateful for it. I know I don''t say this often but I love you, I love you very much and I promise to avenge all those who hurt you. I promise that. I promise to avenge Danielle''s death. It won''t go in vain, Mamita.." She said and broke the hug. Lady red smiled and kissed her forehead. "This fight. We have toplete it in a month''s time and I''m sure you can do it." She said and Elle nodded. She wiped off her tears and then she smirked. "We have already proceeded with our grand n today! Today is the beginning of the final downfall of James Madison and anyone who is aiding him in his evil ns!" She said and clenched her fists angrily. "That''s good.." Lady red smiled. "You are using both your emotions and skills together. Let your hatred of James be the cause of his downfall!" Lady red said and Elle nodded. ** Jason smiled as he walked into the room. He had everywhere decorated with balloons and Asanel''s pictures were hung everywhere. A birthday cake was ced on the table in the centre of the room. "Happy birthday Asanel.." He said and then he walked to where the cake was kept. He took a picture of her too. When he got there, he blew off the candles. "Once again, happy birthday Asanel Anderson.." He said and kissed her picture. "But I have a wish..''He added. "I think it''s time to let go. I know you approve of this. I really love her a lot not only because she has your personality but my heart chose her after you. I fell for her instead¡­" He smiled and then took a rose and then he walked to where one of her pictures are and then he dropped the rose there. "Goodbye Asanem, my first love. I will never forget you and you continue to have a special ce in my heart. I love you Asanel Anderson.." He said and then walked out. ** MADISON GROUP OF COMPANIES. CONFERENCE ROOM. Currently all the board members are seated in the room keenly listening to the presentation Tyson was presenting. Meanwhile Elle was trying to avoid looking at Jason most times but he kept on staring at her. As soon as the presentation was over, she immediately grabbed her bag and walked outside. She took her phone and made to call Damien when a hand suddenly grabbed her hand from behind and then he opened an office and then dragged her in. Elle didn''t need a soothsayer to tell her it''s Jason. Elle looked around and scoffed. "What are you doing?" She snapped at him. "Why are you avoiding me?" He returned the question and she rolled her eyes. "It''s obviously because of what happened yesterday. We can''t keep ignoring it, Elle.." He said and she sighed. "It was just a mistake, it shouldn''t happen again..'' Elle said. "What?" Jason said. "How could it be that for you?" "What else do you expect me to say? That I enjoyed it?" She asked and he grabbed her waist. "Are you really trying to y blind to my feelings?" He asked but she immediately pushed him off. "What feelings? I don''t know what you are talking about ?" She yelled at him. "Are you so stupid or dumb to know that Ilve you?!" He yelled back at her and her rhed widened. "What?!" Her voice came out like a whisper.

Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Will you marry me ** Elle smirked and looked at Damien. "This is one of the things we need to bring him down. We should take good opportunity of this¡­" She said, "Since I''m going to start working there tomorrow. I''ll start monitoring his every move and I''ll try to make a video of when he confesses about it¡­" Damien said and stood up too. "We can''t wait for that.." Elle said. "We can''t wait for the elections to proceed to bring him down. Let''s start ruining him bits by bits." Elle said in gritted teeth. "We can edit people faces right and insert this voices to it.." Elle said. "Yeah, Sabrina and the others are a pro at it¡­" Damian said and she smiled. "I''ll send it to them and you know what to tell them to do.." She said and Damidm nodded "And senator Leo? We really need to finish him up. He''s the backbone of the Madison and about Langford, don''t release him yet. There is more secrets that he hasn''t spilled out. I need to find out what he and Lauren are hiding..'' She thought and Damien nodded. "Elle.." Damien called and she looked up at him. "It''s about Senator Leo¡­" "What about him?" Elle asked keenly. "You know he is rted to me right?" He said and Ells nodded. Damien sighed and closed his eyes before speaking out. "He''s my father.." "What?!" Elle said with widened eyes. "He''s your father. He''s your dad!" She yelled angrily and Damien opened his eyes. He sighed again. "I''m sorry Elle, believe me. I didn''t want to hide it from you but I did so. It was not intentional. I didn''t know how to tell you. That was my problem!" He said. "You should have told me. I would have understood. I would have known what to do next but now.. " She groaned and hit the table. "Why Dam?" She yelled again. I''m really sorry but how could i tell you that when I didn''t even ept him as my dad. He''s not my father. He just gave birth to me.." Damien said and tears fell from his eyes. Elle was shocked. This was the first time she was seeing Damien tearing up before her. He had always acted like the strong type. He prefers to hide his pain from others and bear it alone. "Dam.." She called and touched his shoulders. "What happened? You can tell me everything?" She said and cupped his cheeks. "My dad was just agree his business. He is the reason our family broke apart. Ever since he started pursuing politics, my dad changed drastically. He started taking drugs, smoking drinking. Our loving family became a nightmare. It was now a house of chaos and arguments. Mum and dad could no longer stand each other so she left us. She abandoned me because of that. Since my mom left, I never saw her again and my dad, he didn''t have time for me. It was his business meetings and conferences each time. At sixteen, my dad decided I should school in Australia. It was through an ident I met with Lady red. She took care of him cause even my dad who heard the news of my sickness could not come because of a conference. That was when I met you and baby Kiera. That''s all.." He said and tears fell off Elle''s eyes. She wiped it off and also wiped off Damien''s tears with her thumb. "I''m really sorry, Dam. I''m really sorry this had to happen to you. I''m sorry.."Elle said and patted his back gently. Then she broke the hug. "But that doesn''t mean I will let him go free just because he is my father. He wronged the people by taking part in illegal businesses. I''ll expose him for that.." Damien said and Elle smiled. She hugged him again and Damien pulled away from the hug. "I need to tell you something Elle.." He said and held her hands. "What?" Elle asked. "I know this is not the right time to say this but I have to say. Maybe once I do so, I''ll be able to let you go.." He said and Elle''s heart skipped. "What are you talking about Dam?" She asked and Damien cupped her cheeks. Then he bumped her forehead on hers. "Dam.." She whispered. "I love you Elle.." He said and Tears fell from her eyes. She was not shocked at all. It was very evident but she chose to be blind to it. "I really love you so much and I really dreamed of us being a big happy family with Kiera after we achieved our mission.." He said. "Dam.." Elle said in tears. "Ssh, please don''t say anything. Let me do the talking!" He said and then he removed his forehead from hers, then he hugged her tightly. "I really loved you from the start and I hoped that you would see through my feelings and also fall for me but I was wrong. He was still in your heart. Those seven years you used to train yourself for this revenge mission. You were nor even to hear his name at all. But I knew it was all for show. I know he was still in your heart. You were still madly in love with him. I saw the way you would look at Kiera and then go to your room to cry.." He said and then broke the hug. Elle was now crying too. "I''m sorry.." She said. She really felt guilty. She knew he was in love with her for all these years but she couldn''t even reciprocate his feelings. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "I''m sorry.." She said again and he shook his head. "You don''t have to be. And yet, you are doing what I hate the most. You are pitying me.." He said and poked her nose. "I know you never had feelings for me but I was the one who kept hoping. So it''s not your fault in any way. I know how much you love Jason and it has even be stronger recently. And I can also clearly see that he loves you too. I saw everything at the bar. He''s just fighting back his feelings perhaps not to hurt his brother and his so called fiancee too. But it''s obvious he loves you too. So let''s be quick with our mission, so you both can finally be together. Together with Kiera. He really deserves to know about his daughter. It''s not fair you know. You have someone with you but he has no one.." He said and Elle hugges him again. "Thank you very much. Thank you so much Damien. You are really my best friend and I love you very much. Much more than you can imagine.." She said and he kissed her hair. "Strangely, I feel very relieved after saying this.." He said and then Elle raised her head to look at him and she pecked him. "I really love you so much.." She said and buried her hair in his chest. "Stop saying that. I might take it the other way.." He said and they both chuckled. *** Giselle smirked as she applied the eye liner on her eyes. Her phone rang and she smiled when she saw it was Jason calling. "Hey baby.." She said after she answered the call. "What''s this stunt you are pulling? Why did you move our engagement. Two days time? Are you nuts?!" He yelled and sheughed. "That''s because I badly want to get married to you. That will be my greatest achievement. You don''t know how much I love you. If you do, then you wouldn''t have taken me for granted. I will fight the word to be with you!" Giselle said. "And clearly you don''t know how I can be when I''m mad? You clearly don''t have any idea what you are doing. Marrying me will he the greatest mistake you would ever make in your life.." Jason said and immediately fear gripped Giselle. She hung up immediately. "What was that? I have never heard him speak that way before!" She said. "No, don''t think about it. You can''t get scared now. You have to do it..'' She said and grabbed her phone. She dalied someone''s number and the person answered the call immediately. "Did you get the picture?" She asked. "Of course ma''am." The feminine voice said. "Good, I want you to abduct her on my engagement day which is two days from now. And if she resists or causes you any problem. Finish her off. ** Night. Elle came down from her car.

He said and she walked in. The living room was unusually silent and suddenly every where went dark. Elle gasped and immediately took her hands to her bag to bring out her gun. Suddenly there were lights every where and the sounds of music ying. Elle heaved a sigh of relief and then roses started to fall on her. "What''s going on?" She asked herself. "Tyson.." She called looking around. Tyson tiptoe behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist taking her bu surprise. Elle quickly faked a smile. She removed his hands from her waist and faced him. "Hey, what''s all this for?" She asked him and he smiled and gave her a red rose. "Thanks.." She smiled again. "But why all these arrangements?" She asked again. "For you.." He said and then he went on his knees and brought out a box. Elle''s eyes widened immediately. "Oh no! I''m doomed!" She thought. He opened the box revealing a shiny beautiful diamond ring. Elle started to shake her head in denial. "I don''t want this. I don''t want to marry him.." She thought. He smiled. "Danielle Browns, will you be my wife?" "I raally lova you so much.."

Tyson called and she looked around. "I''ll tell him I can''t marry him at least not now!" She assured herself and as she made to talk. She sighted James and her eyes widened. Then Lauren and then Ja.. Jason. Her eyes widened more. "I can''t do this. I can''t do this..'' She told herself and then shook her head. "But what do I do? They will start suspecting me if I reject his proposal! I can''t do that. I have no other choice than to ept it.." Sje said and then closed her eyes as tears fell from them. "Yeah, I do. I will marry you, Tyson .." She said and Jason froze on the spot. Tyson smiled and then he slipped the ring into her finger. He stood up and then wiped off her tears. Elle opened her eyes. "I love you.." He whispered and hugged her tightly. Elle furrowed her brows and tears fell from them. Her eyes met with Jason''s and she immediately looked away. "What have I done? What have I gotten myself into?" She asked herself and Tyson broke the hug. She faked a smile and cupped his cheeks. "Thank you.." She whispered. "Congrattions!" James said from behind and Elle smiled. "Thanks.." Elle said. "Come on, let''s eat.." He said and held Elle''s hand. "I''m really in trouble.." She thought. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER. "Please excuse me, I need to use the restroom..'' Elle said and she walked out. She held her forehead as she walked down the hall. It was very quiet. "What have I done? What have I done? This can''t be happening¡­" She kept on mumbling to herself. Jason had left earlier. She knew he was very angry. ''Jason. I''m sorry.." She said in tears. "You should be telling that to me, not to yourself.." Jason said and Elle turned back. "You.. you are here.." She said and he walked towards her and then pulled her into a hug. Elle breathed out in relief and she wrapped her hands around him. It just dawned on her how much she loves him. She really does love him. Jason broke the hug and then wiped off her tears. "Now tell me Elle, why are you doing this?" He asked and Elle looked at him. "You can tell me anything. I promise to understand.." He said and Elle sighed. "You can''t.." She said and he scoffed. "You can''t understand me.." She added. "But I want to understand you. I want to. I want to understand why you are pretending to be in love with Tyson when it''s clear that you are not in love with him¡­" Jason said. "Why did you agree to be his girlfriend? Why you agreed to marry him and sometimes I notice the secret re you give to my dad and most times my mum. It''s like you have an hidden motive. .." Jason said looking straight into her eyes and Elle''s heart skipped. "Jason.." She called. "Tell me the truth please. I badly want to know.." He said and cupped her cheeks. Elle shook her head and removed his hands from her cheeks. "Even if I tell you the truth, it won''t change anything. It won''t change the fact that you are getting married to Giselle and I''m getting married to Tyson. We both are engaged now. There is no use of me telling you anything.." She said and he scoffed. "Do you really hear yourself right now?Are you going to get married to Tyson? Like are you really going to get married to him?!" He asked. Elle gulped hard and replied him. "Yes!" His eyes widened and he ran his hands into his hair. "What are you saying? Just stop it?!" He snapped at her. "Being in love with each other can not change anything. It can''t change the fact.

"I already said yes to Tyson and I don''t want to do anything that contrary to it. It''s better if we both forget about each other. Like love is useless anyways.

Stop trying to push me away cause it won''t work. It won''t ever work. I''ll find out everything and you will be surprised when I do so.." He said and walked away leaving Elle shocked. She fell on her knees immediately. "This is a big problem. I never nned for this. What do I do now? I can''t let Jason find out anything about my identity, at least not for now.." She said. Meanwhile Jason got to his car. He brought out his phone and dailed a number. The person answered the call immediately. "Find out everything about Danielle Browns.

My visitor just visited me so I had to clean myself up!" Elle said and Lauren nodded. "Oh.." She mouthed. "I was thinking miss browns, since Jason''s wedding is also close. Why don''t you move your wedding closer to it.." He said and Elle nodded. "Anytime you want it. I just have to inform my mum.." Elle said and took a spoonful of rice. "Hmm, so is your mom not going toe to New Zend soon? She has toe back since you are going to be getting married soon.." James said. "Yeah, I''ll inform her soon..'' Elle replied. "I''m really so happy that my kids are getting married soon. We will be grandparents of many children soon.." Lauren gushed and Jamesughed. Tyson and Elle just smiled while Deborah rolled her eyes. "I''m already the mother of your grand child, the one who you tried to kill. You evil monsters!" Elle gripped her fork tightly. She really felt like stabbing them badly. "I will never be the mother of Tyson''s child.." She thought and she faked a smile once more. Deborah had already had enough of it. She sighed and stood up. "Excuse me.." She said and walked away. "What''s with her?" Tyson thought. "So let''s make a toast, a toast to more and more happiness.."James said and they all filled up this sses, they raised it up. "A toast to your downfall.." She smirked. "Cheers!" They all chorused and they hit their sses together. Tyson smiled and held Elle''s hand. She returned her fake smile at him and then she looked away, rolling her eyes. Thirty minutester. Elle got home. She sighed and fell into the couch when she came in. Lady red came out of the room. "Sweetheart, how was your day?'' She asked sitting beside. Elle just sighed and hugged her. Laura frowned and hugged her back. "Hey, what''s wrong?" She asked and Elle pulled away from the hug. "Mamita, I''m sorry. But I''m getting tired already. It''s so hard to exact revenge on those who hurt you. Why is it so hard to bring those in power down? I don''t understand?" Elle said and bursted into tears. Lady red sighed and hugged her again. "What happened? Tell me what happened?" She said. "Mamita, Jason proposed to me.." Elle said and her eyes widened. She sprang up in her feet immediately. "Wait, what? Is he crazy?" She yelled angrily. "Don''t tell me you said yes. Don''t tell me you did!" She yelled angrily and Elle nodded. She raised her hand and showed her the ring. "God!'' Lady red muttered. "I''m not approving of this. Do you want to ruin your life. Getting married to that stupid guy. I can''t let you do that. Even if it means we have to stop this n and go back to Australia. So be it. I''m not going ahead with this.." She said and Elle stood up also. "We can''t do that Mamita. We havee so far, we can''t give up now. We shouldn''t..'' Elle said. "No, Asanel. I can''t let you ruin your life. Remember your parents. How would they feel right now? Do you even consider that?" Lady red yelled at her. "Yes Mamita. I was just as angry as you earlier but then I realised we can use it to our advantage.." She said. "What do you mean by that?" Lady red asked. "The wedding will be an avenue to reveal all the Madison''s crime. The world will be watching us. It will be a great way to let the citizens know of the true colours and it will be fun doing so.." She said and lady red nodded. "I''m okay with it. As far as it''s not going to harm you.." She said and Elle sighed. "I will be fine. I know how to take care of myself.." She said and then walked to the front. "Tomorrow, I have very special surprise for them. They are going to be so shocked.." Elle said and Laura nodded. "That''s it.." She said. The next day.

Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Figuring things out. James was in the balcony having an online meeting with his business partners when all of a sudden, Deborah rushed there. "Daddy, Daddy.." She called in a panicked voice. James groaned. "Please excuse me for a moment.." He told them and faced her. "You need to see this video!" She said and gave him. He scoffed and collected it from her. His eyes widened immediately. "I''m so sorry but we need to postpone the meeting. I''ll text you when we can have the meeting.." He said and immediately closed hisptop. "What''s this?" He yelled angrily at her and Deborah flinched. "I don''t know daddy, I just found it online.." She said almost in tears. James stood up angrily and walked out of the balcony with Deborah closely following him. "Daddy, Dad, please calm down.." Deborah said. "Why should I? Why you should I?!" He yelled at her ahd broke the flower vase angrily. Deborah flinched and she moved backwards. Her eyes widened in shock. Immediately Tyson and Lauren rushed out of their rooms. "Hun, hun, What''s the problem?" She asked. "That stupid person is at it again. He recorded our conversation and used it against us!" He yelled and both Deborah and Tyson froze in shock. Even Lauren was shocked. "Hun, please stop it. When you are angry. You like saying nonsense.." Lauren tried calming him down but he pushed her off. "Dad, what are you saying? Is this true? Are you nning to rig the elections?!" Deborah yelled angrily. "Yes! And what''s so bad in it? Not like other politicians are saints!" He said angrily again and both Tyson and Deborah froze in shock again. "Hun!" Lauren yelled and pped him hard across the cheek. "What are you doing? What are you saying hun? What are you saying to our kids? Do you want to give them the bad impression if you? Why do you spot out nonsense when you was angry.." She yelled and grabbed his cor. "Stop it! Your children are here. You don''t want them to think bad of you? Do you?'' Sje whispered to him and James fell to the ground. "I''m sorry kids. I''m sorry if I scared you. I was just heartbroken. I meant other politicians that are the ones guilty of the crime doesn''t get punished but the innocent ones get punished. Your mum and I never said what they are using us of.." James said and ran his hands into his hair. "Daddy, with the stunt you just pulled. Do you expect me to believe you again?'' Deborah yelled at him. "It''s like you were admitting to your faults. Honestly dad, I''m starting to doubt you.." Deborah said. James stood up and a ss of the broken vase pierced into his right leg. He groaned and walked to her. He cupped her cheeks. "I''m so sorry sweetie! If I had made you doubt me for a second. I''m so sorry but remember this always. I''m your dad and do you think I can do what they are using me off.." He said and Deborah shook her head. "I don''t believe them daddy.." She said she hugged him but however there was still doubts in Tyson''s heart. ''Dad admitted everything angrily and now he''s saying another thing. Something is not right! Dad might be lying to us and I''m sure mum must know about it but what are they keeping from us that they don''t want us to find out about?" He thought. The door bell rang and Tyson went to get it immediately. Elle''s face came into view. Her hair was scattered all over her face and her body was dirty. "Baby.,''She called and hugged him in tears. "Hey, what happened?" He asked hugging her back. "I.. the mob were after me when they saw me. They are gathered in front of your house and they are really furious. I don''t know how but they recognised me as your girlfriend and they pursued me. They all threw stones and eggs at me, baby I''m so scared.." Elle said tightening her hug on him. Suddenly they heard the shouts. "TAKE DOWN THE MADISONS! BRING DOWN THE MADISONS! WE DON''T WANT A CORRUPT RULER! TAKE DOWN THE MADISONS! "Gosh! Dad, they are outside the mansion already. And look at what they did to my fiancee.." Tyson said angrily hugging Elle more tightly to himself. "We need to find a way to clear dad''s name. Daddy''s innocent. My dad is innocent!" Deborah cried and immediately she ran out without thinking. "Deborah!" They all yelled and they ran after her. Even Elle was surprised. She never expected that she would react that way. "We have to stop here or else she would get hurt.." Elle said. Deborah was still rushing until someone ran towards her and caught her in his arms. "Who are you? What are you doing?'' She yelled struggling with him. "Don''t you want to die?" A familiar voice yelled at her and her eyes widened. "Pervert, what are you doing? Let me go!" She yelled and pushed him away. "I''m doing anything wrong. My dad is innocent. I''m going to tell them that.." She said and he scoffed. "Oh really! Do you think they would listen to you right now. They are so enraged and you could mobbed to death or be either injured.." He said. "I don''t care about that. Why do you care about that?" She yelled at him and he scoffed. "I''m going..'' She said but he pulled her back and carried her in a bridal style. "Let me go! Let me go! You pervert!" She screamed, her legs dancing in the hair. "I told you I don''t like stress. If you don''t stop swinging your legs, I kiss you for real this time.." He said and she stopped swinging her legs. "What are you saying?'' She asked and he looked at her. "You know me right. I would have done so yesterday if you didn''t run away.." He smirked and her eyes widened. "You pervert!" She screamed and continued swinging her legs. Damien lost bnce and they both fell to the ground. Elle and the others who were watching them busted outughing despite the condition that was at hand presently. In the mansion. "Why are you so stubborn?" Lauren asked as she cleaned up Deborah''s wounds. Well she just had a scratch but then she wouldn''t stop screaming like it''s a serious wound. Damien rolled his eyes. "She''s so childish.." He mumbled. "Thanks Stephen for bringing her in despite her stubbornness.." James said. "It''s no problem governor. It''s really fun in taking care of childish kids like her.." He said and she red at him. "Dad, why are you thanking him? He made me fall. Why did he even carry me in the first ce? What was his business if I got hurt?'' Deborah said and winced when her mum applied the spirit to her wound. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. "Mum, be careful.." She groaned. "I''m sorry.." Lauren said. "Next time, don''t try something dangerous again.." Tyson warned her and she nodded. "I won''t. I''m sorry Tyson.." She pleaded and he smiled. Elle looked at Damien and winked at him. Damien rolled his eyes and clenched his fists. It was obvious she was teasing him. Deborah suddenly smirked. "Dad, since Stephen says he loves taking care of stubborn children like me. I think he should be my bodyguard.." She said and Damien'' s eyes widened. "What do you mean by that, Miss? I''m the governor''s personal bodyguard.." Damien cut in . "I''m talking to my dad and not you. So hold your horses.." She said and faced her dad. ''So daddy, what do you say?" Deb asked with a charming smile. "Baby, he''s saying the truth. I employed him because I need him. You don''t need a bodyguard..'' James said and Deborah frowned. "Daddy, what if I want to go out for shopping? And the mob attacks me. What would I do? Huh?" She asked her dad. "Daddy, please.." She pleaded. "Deborah, stop all this.." Elle chuckled. "I need to take my leave now governor. I just thought to pay you a quick visit to check up on how you are doing.." She said and smiled. "I''ll see youter.." She added. "I''ll see Elle off dad.." Tyson said and walked out. "Daddy, what do you say now?'' Deborah asked him. Fine.. He will be guarding you just for two weeks.." James said. "Yeah, two weeks is enough for me to deal with that evil pervert.." She smiled and then hugged her dad. "Thank you very much dad.." She pecked him. *** Jason''s Mansion. Jason paused the video and sighed. "I don''t really trust you anymore dad. This is getting to frequent.." He said and then his phone rang. It was his private investigator calling. He answered the call immediately. "Good morning sir, I have found some interesting things you would like to know.." "Go on.." He said. "First of all, Danielle brown went missing for sometime. There were even rumours that she died but all of a sudden, after almost one and a half year, she showed up in the public. However the public couldn''t help but notice some slight changes in her appearance. Her eyes were slightly bigger and her lips more thinner and also she also put on a lot of weight. Elle then confessed that she got into an ident that caused a slight change in her looks. But then, another surprising fact was the rumor of her being pregnant. But she denied such. There were pictures of the child on inte but it was quickly taken down by unknown sources. However I am presently in Australia and I found out from one of their workers that Elle indeed has a daughter¡­" He said and Jason''s eyes widened. "What? Are you sure?" He asked. "Yeah, I managed to get a picture of her but the problem is, it''s too blurry.." the private investigator said. "Send it to me via Email.." Jason said. "Done already..'' He said. "If you find out more, don''t hesitate to call me.." He said and then he hung up. Jason immediately opened hisptop and the pictures came flooding on it. His eyes widened when he saw the picture. Though it was blurry but it looked like Kiera. It looked like her! "Maybe I''m just overthinking this.." He said and then moved on to the next pictures. That was about Elle and her transformation. In her former pictures, Elle had a small shaped cat eyes and she still had a cat eye shape but it was quiet big. "Asanel also had a cat eyed shape but it was not as small as this.." He mumbled pointing to the former Elle pictures. "But why does it feel like she had her whole face restructured?" He asked himself and then he moved her lips. He furrowed his brows when he saw it. Howe he never noticed! The shape of her lips were very simr to Asanel'' s. He hurriedly went in and then walked out with a picture of Asanel in his hands. He checked it and his eyes widened. It looks almost the same. "What am I thinking? Why am iparing Asanel to Elle? It can never happen .." He said and sighed but then his eyes went to the more beneath Asanel''s ear and Elle''s ear also. He sprang up on his feet immediately. "No, no, what I''m thinking about is impossible. It can never happen so I should stop thinking about it. It''s impossible.." He said. But then he paused when he remembered his dad''s words. ''We found Asanel''s and her mum''s body. The both died.." "Yeah.. That''s it.." He said and then his eyes widened when Elle first called him Michael. He didn''t even add that to his portfolio. And when he asked her. She couldn''t give him a good reply. She always ignored the question. Then his mind began to go back to those times she would behave like Asanel and then act like it''s a mistake. She even knew his favourite ice cream vour. This couldn''t be a coincidence. "Something was definitely wrong. Something was wrong.." He said to himself and then he stood up. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Chapter 67 A DNA TES As he was thinking, his phone rang and he groaned angrily when he saw that it was Nick calling. He answered the call angrily. "What do you want?" He asked him. "Him, Jason, I have something important to tell you. Meet with me at Le''s food.." He said and hung up. "What''s wrong with this brat?" He asked no one in particr. He picked up his car keys and then walked out. As he did, he took his phone and dailed Kiera''s number. "Handsome.." Kiera said immediately she answered the call. "Princess, how are you?" He asked. ''I''m good¡­" "What are you doing?" "Right now I''m waiting for my mum at an eatery. She said she should eat out today.." Kiera said and he smiled. ''By the way, What''s the name of your mummy?" He asked. "Danielle Browns. Elle for short.." She said and his eyes widened. "Is your mum a model?" He asked. "Yes, my mum is a model and she is also a business woman. Infact we are here because she doing business here. We all stay in Australia.." Kiera said and Jason stopped walking. "What about your dad?" He asked. "I told you mummy already said she was introduce him to me on my birthday.." She giggled and he forced out a smile. "Kiera, tell me the name of the eatery you are in?" He asked. "Hmm, I think it''s l.." Another iing call entered his phone and he was forced to hang up on Kiera. It was Nick calling. He answered the call angrily. "What?" He yelled. ''The reason why I am calling you is because Elle is here. This is your chance to hit up ok her. Forget the engage.." Jason hung up immediately. "I will make sure I find out what the truth is today.." He said and ran to his car. MADISON''S MANSION. MASTER''S BEDROOM. "How the hell did they have our conversation. It was supposed to be a secret!" James said to Lauren. "That I don''t understand but it seems like someone is keeping a close tab on us.." Lauren said. "Could it be Langford?" James said and Lauren rolled her eyes. "How can it be Langford? Langford was kidnapped¡­" "Who knows it can be him.." He said and Lauren scoffed. "You know you act like you are mentally disturbed sometimes.." She said and his eyes widened. "Are you really calling me stupid? Most of the things happening are your fault.." He said and they heard someone pping from behind them. They both froze on the spot. Tyson smirked and he walked towards them. "I knew you were hiding something.." He said and Lauren sighed. "So you both are guilty of the crimes you both are used of and you made us believe we are saints.. " Tyson said. "Son.." "No, don''t call me that. Don''t call me that at all.." He said and James sighed. "You yed us for a fool. Deborah and I and I wonder what Jason is feeling as of the moment. He might be boasting to people of what good parents he has but that is the reverse. If you can be involved with electoral malpractice. I hate it that both of you who acts like saints are also involved. What would Deborah feel hearing about this? She was ready to prove your innocence even if it meant risking her life.." "Tyson, you are angered but don''t you forget that it''s because of my status that you get the respect you deserve.." James said and Tyson scoffed. "What?!" He said in disbelief. "This is the truth about us. Your parents.." He said and Tyson scoffed again. "Are you being serious right now?" He asked and James smirked. "There is more for you to know.." He added and Tyson''s eyes widened. *** Jason got to the eatery. He wore his sunsses and entered the eatery. He sighted Nick and he walked to him. He sat down and Nick pointed at Elle. He looked at the direction he pointed and then he clenched his fists when he saw her with Kiera. She was putting on shades so that no one would recognise her and they both of them wereughing. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "Who''s that? Does she have a daughter?" Nick asked. "I don''t know and I don''t care.." He said and looked away. His eyes was feasted on them throughout. He badly wants to know the truth. What Elle was hiding from everyone and why was she hiding it? Elle stood up and kissed Kiera''s forehead. I''ll be back, I want to use the restroom. Don''t worry,the guards are watching you " She said and then took her bag, then she walked away. Jason smirked immediately she walked away. He stood up. "Hey, where are you going?'' Nick asked and he just smirked at him. "I want to find out everything.." He said and then he hurried over to Kiera''s table. "Who are you?" Kiera asked and he smiled. Then he removed his sunsses. "Hey.." He said and she gasped. "Handsome.." She squeaked. She stood up and ran to hug him. He kissed her hair and kept on caressing it. Then he broke the hug. "Why did you hang up the call? I was about to tell you the restaurant I was in.." Kiera pouted and he kissed her forehead. "I''m sorry baby.." He apologized. He looked over to their table. There was some remaining egg yolk in the te. ''You must love egg yolk a lot?" He asked. "No, my mum eats the yolk while I eat the outer part. I''m allergic to the yolk.." Kiera said and his eyes widened. He was also allergic to the egg yolk and he remembered anytime they got eggs, Asanel would eat the yolk while he eats the outer part. It was now bing very clear. Elle was really like Asanel and Kiera, she took after him. "Princess, I need to go. I''ll be back.." He said and kissed her forehead. "But.." "I''ll get you icecream when we meet next. Strawberry vour.." He said and she smiled. "I love you handsome.." She said and kissed his cheek. "I love you too.." He said and walked away. When he got out, he brought out the strand of hair he took from Kiera. "A DNA Test can end all my suspicions.." He said Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Chapter 68 CONFIRMING THE TRUTH Jason entered the car and smirked. Nick furrowed his brows when he noticed a smug smile on his lips. "Hey, what happened? Did you find out anything?" Nick asked and Jason brought out the strand of hair he took from Kiera. "What''s that? What are you nning to do?" Nick asked and Jason smirked the more. "A DNA test can end my suspicions.." Jason said and Nick sighed. "What do you mean? Why do you want a DNA test done on the girl?" Nick asked and Jason sighed. "I''m having this gut feeling that she might be my daughter" He said and Nick chuckled. "What? Dude, are you insane?" "How can she be your daughter? I mean she is Elle''s daughter and you just recently met Elle. Like, I''m confused.." Nick said and Jason smirked. "It''s confusing too. I''m confused just like you but then I think Elle is Asanel.." He said and Nick chuckled again. "What are you saying Jason? Did you hit your head or something or has your love for her made you go insane? Asanel is dead!" Nick said frustratedly. "That''s what you believe but when you see the evidence I have, you will be shocked but then this DNA test will be the master of all¡­" He said and Nick sighed. He was confused but then he just had to go along with it.. Jason started the car. "I''m going to see Mike.." He said and Nick sighed. "You are really serious about this, Jason..: He said and Jason drove off. LEELA''S FOODS Elle walked to Kiera and then kissed her hair. "Princess, are you done eating?" Elle asked and Kiera nodded. "Okay, let''s go.." Elle said and helped her up. "Mummy, I met handsome just now.." Kiera said with a smile and Elle nodded. "Oh! Where''s he? I would love to meet him!" Elle said and Kiera sighed. "He just left now. Don''t worry. You will meet him soon. I''ll ask him.." Kiera said and she nodded. "Let''s get going.." Elle said and they both walked out. AN HOUR LATER. HOSPITAL. Jason was seated in the Doctor''s office, waiting impatiently for the results of the DNA test. Nick left saying he had something urgent to do. The door opened and Doc Mike walked in with a document in his hands. Jason stood up immediately. "How did it go?" He asked and Mike sighed before giving him the paper. Jason immediately snatched the paper from him and his eyes widened as he read it. "99.9%.." "POSITIVE.." He read out. The paper fell from his hands and his jaws dropped. He never expected this! Not in any way.. "Wow! Jason, you didn''t tell me you had a child.." "Who''s the child?" Mike said. However Jason was not listening to what he was saying presently. He clenched his fists angrily and he rushed out of the office leaving Mike shocked. He got into his car and drove off angrily. "If Kiera is his daughter then that means Elle is Asanel. She is the Asanel whom he thought was dead. His first love whom he mourned for years. The one who he gave his heart to and locked it when she died. She is Asanel! "But then how could she? How could she hide it from me? She knew how I mourned her for years! She made us believe she''s dead and she never gave me the chance to be with daughter. How could you, Asanel? How could you betray me this way?" He said and a tear dropped from his right eye. He swerved the car and drove into a corner then he stopped. He ran his hands into his hair and then he hit the sterling hard as he yelled. He sighed and then ced his head on the sterling breathing hard. He reached out for his phone and then he took it and called someone. She answered the call immediately. "Hello.." "Let''s meet up.." Jason said. "Jason, sorry but if it''s about.." "No, it''s not about that. It''s purely business. Nothing more.." Jason said coldly. "Fine, where?" "My house.." "What? But.." He hung up and threw the phone away. "I swear I''m going to take my daughter back from you. It''s a promise..'' He said with a determined look. ***** Elle sighed as she drove off. For some reasons, she was afraid. She didn''t know why and Jason asking her to meet up with him is also quite unusual and he sounded so cold. Soon she arrived at his mansion. And as she got down, her phone rang. She sighed seeing it was Kiera. "This girl never ceases to disturb me.." She thought and answered the call. "Mummy, Handsome says he''sing over to our house and he said he nned a big surprise for me.." Kiera gushed excitedly. "Baby, I''m happy for you. But can I call youter. I''m in the middle of something important.." Elle said. "Okay, mum, love you.." "Love you too.." Elle said and hung up. *** Jason sat in the living room holding a ss of wine, his hair was disheveled over his face and his eyes was glued to the television. The door bell rang. He stood up and dropped his ss of wine on the table. He walked to the door and opened. Her face came into view and he clenched his fists. "Jason.." She said softly and walked in. Jason looked away and bit his lower lip. "Are you okay?" She asked and he faced her. All of a sudden, he cupped her cheeks and kissed her hard even making it hard for her to breath. She had to push him off. "What was that for?!" She snapped at him. Jason scoffed and smirked. "Why? Dn''t you miss me?" He asked and grabbed her wrist. "Don''t you miss me Asanel Anderson?" He asked again and her heart skipped, then her eyes widened. "W..what?" She said. "Don''t act so surprised. You did a great job hiding your identity, Asanel.." ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "And that also includes keeping my daughter away from me.." He said and her eyes widened more. Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Chapter 69 HUR "W. What are you saying?" Elle stuttered and moved backwards. Jason smirked and grabbed her arm again. "You really food me Asanel. You made us all believe you were dead and you had a child, you had our baby but you didn''t tell me anything!" He yelled and tears ran out of her eyes. She hijacked her arm from him and quickly wiped her tears off. "I still don''t get what you are saying.." Jason chuckled. "Stop denying it!" He yelled again and she flinched. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "F Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Chapter 70 A Sweet Reunion Elle sighed and wrapped her hands around him. Though she doesn''t know why he''s like this but he definitely needed an arm to cry on. Jason broke the hug and Elle stared into his eyes. "Are you okay?" She asked. He sighed and then nodded. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. "Yeah. I''m fine.." "I just found out something that I chose to be blinded to. I guess I was really blind, I had to get hurt so i can see things clearly ." He said and Elle hugged him again while he kissed her hair. "It feels really good hugging you.." He mumbled with closed eyes and she smiled widely. He broke the hug again and she held his right hand. "I''ll take you to Kiera''s room.." He said. ***** They got to the room and met Kiera sleeping soundly on the bed. Jason smiled and sat beside her and then held her right hand before cing a kiss on it, then he smiled. "I never imagined she would be my daughter, all I just knew was that I just loved her.." Jason said and Elle smiled. She then sat on the bed. "I also never knew you are the handsome guy she kept on talking about. She really loved talking about you and how much she loves you. I guess blood is really powerful.." Elle said and Jason sighed. He held her hands. "I''m sorry Elle.." "I''m really sorry.." He said and she sighed. "If I only I had believed you then, all this wouldn''t have happened. If only I had protected you then you wouldn''t have to go through what you went through alone¡­" "Sash.. " Elle said and cupped his cheeks, caressing them. "It''s really not your fault. We were so young then. You wouldn''t have been able to protect me even then, so don''t me yourself.." She said and pecked him. He smiled and then kissed her shortly. Just then, Kiera stirred up from her sleep. She yawned and opened her eyes. "Mummy.." She called sleepily. Elle darted her attention to her. "Princess, you are awake already.." She said and Kiera smiled at her. "Mummy, I had a very sweet dream. I dreamt you brought my daddy as my surprise gift for my birthday.." Kiera said and Elle smiled, then pecked her hair. "You had a sweet dream baby. Infact, the surprise is already here for you.." Elle said. "Really mummy.." Kiera immediately sat up and her eyes widened when she saw who was sitting next to her. "Handsome!" She squealed and immediately jumped on him, packing him all over his face while Jason giggled. Elle just smiled happily as she watched them. This is what she had always dreamt about. Having a happy family. Kiera smiled happily and then hugged him tightly, then she broke the hug and faced him "Why are you here handsome?" She asked. "I badly missed you so I came to see you.." Jason said pecking her hair. "So you know my mummy?" "Yeah.." Jason nodded. "How did you guys meet?" Kiera asked and Elle sighed. She was not surprised since she knows how inquisitive her daughter is. However she ignored the question. "Baby, you wanted to meet your daddy right?" Kiera nodded. "Well, he''s your daddy.." She pointed at Jason who smiled. Elle''s eyes widened but then she hugged Jason more tightly. "You are my daddy.." She broke the hug and faced him. "Then where did you go all these years? I really wanted to have a daddy for a long time but why were you not there with me? Do you know how much I really missed you?" She asked innocently and Jason sighed. "Princess, I have nothing to say than I''m sorry. I''m really sorry. But I just want you to know something Daddy loves you. He really does.." He said and Kiera hugged him again. "I love you too.." She broke the hug and pointed at the bed. "I want to sleep with my parents today.." She said and Jason nodded. He smiled and they all tucked themselves in. "Goodnight mummy. Daddy.." She said and then the lights went off. ** THE NEXT DAY. The car''s food opened and James got out of the car. The reporters immediately rushed towards him asking a lot of questions which he didn''t answer. The people were not left out. Most of them were holding posters that showed they were not in support of him. "WE DON''T WANT A CHEATING LEADER, WE WANT THE DOWNFALL OF JAMES MADISON.." "WE WANT JUSTICE! JUSTICE FOR THE CITIZENS!" "SAY NO TO CORRUPTION! SAY NO TO ELECTORAL MALPRACTICES! SAY NO TO THE MADISON''S" "HE MUST BE CANCELLED!" James clenched his fists as he read the posters. It was obvious most people were against him now, even the senator had warned him to make sure the issue does down. "I swear whoever did this. I''ll make you pay. I''ll make you pay!" He thought looking around. But then he smirked when he remembered the n he had already. "I''m going to win the election whether you like it or not.." *** Elle smiled as she watched the television. ''It''s a sess. Our n worked, Dam.." She mumbled. "Asanel.." She heard a voice call her and she turned back. "Jason.." He walked to her and held her hands. "I''ll help you. I will fight with you to make sure we never lose this fight.." He said and she smiled. "My Dad.." He paused and closed his eyes. "He killed my mum.." He said and opened his eyes but then he was surprised to see no reaction from her. "You knew?!" He asked and she nodded. "But I just didn''t want to tell you anything without evidence.." "I''m sorry.." She said and touched his cheek with her right hand. He smiled and then brought it down slowly. "You didn''t do anything wrong.." He said. "I love you.." He whispered. "I love you too.." She said and then he leaned closer and then kissed her softly. The door opened and Damien walked in.. Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Chapter 71 More toe Damien''s eyes widened immediately he saw that. The wound that he had been nursing re opened. Just then Elle looked up and saw Damien. The smile on her face quickly faded. "Dam.." She called. Jason looked up and he furrowed his brows when he saw an handsome guy in front of him. Damien quickly faked a smile and walked to them. "Jason''s here.." "Yeah, he came around yesterday.." "And Who''s he?" Jason whispered to Elle who smiled. "He''s Damien, my best friend.." She replied him. Damien smiled and stretched his right hand for an handshake which Jason received. "He''s working as James''s bodyguard, so we can get more information from him.." Elle said and Jason nodded and withdrew his hand from his. "So he knows already?" Damien asked and Elle nodded. "I''m sorry, I didn''t inform you on time. Everything happened so fast.." "Did you see the news? James is really doomed!" Damien said with a smile and Elle smiled more widely. "Our ns really worked.." Elle said and Damien ruffled her hair. Jason just kept a straight face and watched them. "It was obvious with the way he looks at her. It was obvious he likes her. But then, he couldn''t get jealous or angry. He has to be the bigger person after all, he took care of both his daughter and his lover. Elle faced Jason. "Jason, we have to proceed with the engagement and wedding ns.." "What?!" Both Jason and Damien chorused at the same time. "Are you serious? You are going to get married to Tyson for real.." Damien said. "Asanel, I''m sorry but I won''t allow you do that. It''s foolish to do that.." Jason said. "Wait guys, calm down.." "I have a n and if everything works out, this will be over in some weeks. I will just have to pretend that I''m getting married to him but I won''t. But the wedding day will serve as an avenue to reveal James and Lauren''s crime to the world. We just need to a n to make them confess.." Elle said and Jason breathed out. "Fine, I''ll help you with that..'' Jason said. "What if I pretend to be so interested in my dad''s business and then he introduces me to his illegal world. It''s always been Dad''s dream for me to forgive him and join his business. I can make that happen.." Jason said. "That''s risky.." Elle cut in. "I''ll be fine. One thing I''m sure of is that Dad will never hurt me.." Elle held his hands again. "No, you are not safe. If he could your mum, his own wife. He could hurt yo.." "Hey, Dad can never hurt me. He won''t.." "So keep calm.." He said. "Elle, He''s right.." "That would be easier and don''t worry, he will be safe.." "Actually Elle, we have a problem. The governor''s spoilt daughter asked me to serve as her bodyguard.." "Hey, do you realise you are talking about my sis?'' Jason red and Damien chuckled. "I''m sorry but she''s too frustrating.." Dam said and Jason smiled. "Deborah has always been like that.." "She''s childish and naive, coupled with her innocent cute face but she''s more stubborn than you can imagine. So I wish you the best of luck with her..'' Jason said and both Damien and Elle chuckled. "I have to go now.." Damien said and walked away. *** Deb sighed as she nced at her wristwatch. "That pervert, he''s not here already.

"You are 20 minuteste and I''m runningte to college all because of you.." Damien scoffed immediately. "You should have told your driver to take you to college. I''m just your bodyguard.." He said and Deb smirked. "Well, I told the driver to take a two weeks break. You are going to be my driver and bodyguard for now.." Deb said with an innocent smile and Damien ran his hands into his hair. "You should stop smiling so innocently when you are just as evil minded as this.." Damien said and she chuckled.

"It''s not so bad to ask you are doing, right?" She said and he sighed again. "So, how''s your wedding preparations going?" She asked and he scoffed. "Is that what you wanted to ask?"

"And what if I tell you that she''s not in love with you but another man, wi you believe then?" She asked and Tyson turned to face her. "What the hell are you spitting out now, Giselle?"

"How am I so sure you are not lying ?" He asked coldly and Giselle winced due to the way he was holding her arm so tightly. "I swear I''m not lying. I''m not. Believe me I saw them with my eyes and if you don''t believe me, why don''t you confront her about it? She''s your fiancee right? She wouldn''t lie to you except she is just using you for her selfish means.." "Shut up!'' Tyson snarled at her and released her arm. "If I ever find out it''s a lie, you are going to get it from me.." Tyson red at her and then ran his hands into his hair frustratedly, before he stormed off angrily. "Damn!" Giselle thought and bit her lower lip. "I should have taken a pic of those two, though it never crossed my mind.." She muttered. "Well, I said so Jason. If I don''t have you, then no one else will. I repeat no one else will and it''s not a problem because I''ll make sure our wedding happens. You will get married to me whether you like it or not. You are mine, just mine!" "The wedding will push through.." She thought and then took out her phone. She dalied a number and the person immediately answered the call. "Yes ma''am.." "I''m ready.." "I''m ready to deal with her now. She''s gotten on my nerves that I can''t take it again. Now she has to face the consequences.." She smirked. "Tomorrow is the d - day. Make sure everything is ready.

"Tomorrow is the day you will regret evering to this world. I''ll make your life a living hell.." She thought and then walked away. ** BILLS ROWLAND COLLEGE. Damien halted the car and he furrowed his brows when he saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the college however he shrugged and looked back at Deborah who was focused on her phone. "We are here miss.." He said and Deborah looked up with a smirk. "Oh thank you.." She said and made to get down from the car but his voice stopped her. "I hope you don''t continue with this madness of yours and call your driver back tomorrow. This is not my job. I''m supposed to serve your dad not you.." Deborah faked a sorry expression. She pouted her lips. "Oh! What do I do now? I told Mr Collins not to worry about his job for two weeks and guess what? He went to his hometown to spend these two weeks with his family. So tell me do I call him back and ruin his happiness after giving him one?" She asked blinking her eyes innocently. "Gosh!" Damien groaned and looked away. "And will you stop with those cute gestures of yours! Stop acting so innocent when you are not!" "That''s none of my business. See you when i see you and that''s after sses but then you have to stick around the whole day, who knows something might happen to me.." She said and got down from the car. "That brat!" Damien muttered. ''If not for Elle, I swear I won''t do this rubbish job and get stuck with a such a spoilt brat¡­" All of a sudden, he heard a loud noise. "She''s here!" "The daughter of the criminal is here!'' "Get her!" The mob immediately charged towards a direction and Damien''s eyes widened. "Oh no!" He said and immediately unbuckld his seat belt.

"Down to the Madison''s.." *** Elle was on her way to thepany and on getting there, she met a mob outside, standing with different banners. Elle smirked. "That''s it! That''s the true face of James!" "This is just the beginning.." She managed to park her car at a far distance and also managed to get to thepany. She went straight to Tyson''s office. She knocked on it. "I said I don''t want to see anyone!" Tyson''s angry voice came and Elle opened the door. "Even if it''s me! Babe!" She said and Tyson looked up at her, standing up abruptly. She entered fully and walked up to him. "Bae, I missed you.." She said and made to hug him but he pulled away from her. "What''s wrong babe?" She furrowed her brows. "Why didn''t you answer my calls?" "Come on Tyson, you know how busy I.." "That''s what you always say.." He cut her off. "You don''t have time for me anymore. It''s been two months since we started dating but we never had a normal date. We don''t even spend time together. Is that right, Elle?" He asked and she sighed. "Baby, that''s not .." ''Do you even love me?" He asked and she sighed again. "Baby what are you.." "Do you love me Elle or are you just using me? Are you in love with my brother?''!" Tyson yelled angrily and Elle''s heart skipped. "Has he found out the truth.." She thought. "What are you saying? You know I love you. If I didn''t love you, why would I agree to be your girlfriend and now your wife. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, believe me Tyson.." She said and held his hands looking at him with fake worry. Tyson removed his hands from hers. "And what is this I heard? You were making out with my brother Jason in the office. You were kissing him!" He yelled at her. Elle almost lost herposure but then she still managed to act normal. "What? Who told you that?!" She snapped at him. "See, you are not even denying it. I can''t believe you stopped so low.." He couldn''tplete his statement when she pped him hard leaving him shocked. She started shedding fake tears. "Tyson, I can''t believe this is what you think of me? Someone told you that you believed him over me?" Touches her chest. "You believed him over me, your fiancee. You don''t trust me and it hurts a lot. You question my love for you. Do you know how much I love you Tyson? I love you with my heart and this is what you repay with.." She paused and sniffed. Then she wiped her tears. Tyson sobered up immediately, looking at her with guilt. "I''m sorry Tyson but there''s no rtionship without trust.." And with that, she removed the engagement ring .

Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Deceiving him 1 "What?" Tyson whispered. Tears ran down Elle''s face and she quickly wiped it off. "It''s a really hard decision but I guess that''s what is the best for us at this time. It seems this rtionship is not working anymore.." She paused and looked down. Tyson was still shocked to say anything. Elle sniffed and then removed the engagement ring on her finger. She took his palm and then opened it, before cing the ring in it. Then she closed it back leaving Tyson more speechless. He could not believe What''s happening. "Is she for real?" He thought. "I''m sorry Tyson. I''m really sorry.." She said and then turned. She paused and then smirked as she wiped off her tears. He was going toe after her. That she was sure of. "I.." She took a slow step forward. "2.." She counted. "3.." She started walking more hastily. "4.." "What''s wrong? Why isn''t he stopping me?" She thought and stylishly looked back. By this time, she had already gotten to the door. "5.." She counted and made to open the door when she heard quick footsteps behind her. Tyson immediately hugged her from behind and she gasped before smirking. "Please don''t leave me Elle. I''m so sorry. I''m sorry I doubted you. Please don''t go.." He sobbed and she rolled her eyes. "No.." She sniffs. "You clearly don''t trust me¡­" She removed his hands from her shoulder and faced him with teary eyes. "I love you so much Tyson, why don''t you believe me? I''m sorry but i can not continue this rtionship if you don''t trust me. Is this how you will act if we get married?" Tyson immediately grabbed her hands. "I''m sorry Elle. I promise to believe anything you say now. I really promise you. Please don''t leave me.." He cried and hugged her. Er smirked again and patted his back. "I''m not leaving again. I''m so madly in love with you that I won''t be happy without you.." Elle said and broke the hug. Tyson immediately pecked her forehead. "Thank you.." He whispered and she smiled. He brought out the ring and smiled. "Do you still want to be my wife?" He asked and Elle nodded. "Of course.." She replied and immediately he fixed it into her finger. "I love you.." "I love you too.." She responded and they hugged. "First step achieved. He madly loves me, his love for me already blinds his eyes to the truth. Now we have to move on to the next step. I hope Jason manages to convince his dad.." She thought staring into space. *** Damien sighed and came out of the car. He met her still crying. "Hey! Stop crying, will you?" He said and passed her a tissue. She collected it from him before cleaning her face and nose thoroughly. "How could they.." She paused and sniffs. Damien rolled his eyes. "She''s just been over dramatic since. I''ve alreadyforted her but she prefers crying.." He thought. "How could they embarrass me? Am I my father? I''m not dad for crying out loud!" She yelled and wiped off her tears. "What would my friends think of me? I bet they will hate me! Gosh! I''m so doomed!" She cried again. "Get a grip on yourself Deborah. This is not the end of the world. And what if your friends hate you? It doesn''t add or reduce to you in anyway!" He snapped at her. She red at him and then hit his chest. "Why are you always harsh to me? I thought you said I''m like your younger sister, why don''t you treat me like one!" She yelled and tried to hit him again but he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug. She was surprised at first but sheter rxed. "Acting weak is not always the solution to the problem. Rather be strong so you can face all challenges.." He said patting her back and she nodded. "But how?" Damien smiled shortly. "You just have to gathered courage and do it.." He said and broke the hug. "I''ll be back.." He said and walked towards the car. A smile escaped her lips unknowingly and then Damien walked out with a bottled water and a towel. "What''s that for?" She asked. He handed her the bottled water. "You must be thirsty.." Deborah smiled and took it from him. "Thanks.." He walked behind her and started cleaning her hair with the towel. "Some of the egg stains and dirt stuck on your hair.." He exined and she smiled again. "Never knew you are this caring..'' She said. "I also never knew you are such a cry baby.." He chuckled and she faced him. "Hey! Stop teasing me!" She red at him. "What''s with your res?" Heughed and ruffled her hair. Deb''s heart skipped at the moment. But then she shrugged it off. She stood on her toes and ruffled his hair as heughed harder. "Serves you right!" She stuck out her tongue at him and heughed again. Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org. He took his hands to her hair and started arranging it. "But then, what do you think about the usations on your dad?'' He suddenly asked and she sighed. "Honestly, even though he denied it. I''m still having doubts. Sometimes I wonder if my dad is as innocent as he ims to be. I honestly don''t want to believe again¡­" She paused and Damien sighed. "But the video can''t be fake right? It was Dad''s and mum''s voice. Even my daddy''s reaction when he saw the video gave him out but honestly, I''m confused.." She said. "Why don''t you try finding the truth? Find out what happened really so you will know if your dad is really innocent?" Damien asked. Her eyes beamed immediately. "Really?" "But how?" She asked. ''I''ll help you.." He told her and she smiled. "Thanks a lot.." MADISON''S MANSION. Jason came out of the car. He looked around and as he remembered his dad''s words yesternight. He clenched his fists angrily. He sighed and then walked into the mansion. He rang the doorbell and the maid opened it for him. As he walked in, he met his Dad in the living room operating on hisptop. "Dad.." He called. James looked up and he furrowed his brows upon seeing him. "Jason.." He said and stood up. Jason rushed towards him and hugged him tightly surprising James. Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Deceiving him 2 Spilling the truth! James furrowed his brows in confusion. Jason clenched his fists tightly then he pulled away from the hug. "Dad, I was so worried about you. Everything is so messed up at the moment. How did the interview go?" Jason asked with a fake worried expression. James smiled. He was really happy that his son shows how much he cared for him. Maybe he has forgiven him. That''s the best thing he ever wished for. Nothing other than that! "Are you really worried about me son?'' James asked and Jason sighed. "No matter how angry I am at you. You are still my Dad. You birthed me. And I just realised how much you mean to me when all this scandal happened. I never wished harm for you and I still love you dad.." Jason exined. "But what about your mum''s death? Don''t you still hold me responsible for it?" James asked and Jason sighed. "I realised that I was wrong about that. I had mum''s death investigated though. The doctor said she committed suicide. It''s not your fault Dad. It''s partially my fault, if I had been there for mum. None of this would have happened..'' He said with a pained expression. James patted his shoulders slowly with a smile. "Let''s forget the past now and move forward.." "But Dad, are those usations true?" Jason asked and James sighed. "Let''s sit.." He offered and they both sat down. "Actually, none of those are true. You know I''m an upright man, son. They are lying..: He said and Jason almost scoffed but he withdrew himself. "You great liar, your secret will be exposed soon.." "Dad, actually I have something to say¡­" "Go on.." James urged. "I gave it a thought and decided to join you with your business.." James smiled immediately. "Wow! That''s huge. Thanks a lot son.." He said. "And I have another request.." This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "Cancel the engagement with Giselle.." James sighed. "But you were the one who epted it.." "I did that because of you dad but honestly, I don''t have ns of getting married for now. So just cancel it.." "As you wish son.." He said and Jason nodded and stood up. "I''ll get going now. Stay safe Dad and don''t go out with your bodyguards¡­" "Yeah.." James nodded. "Bye Dad.." He said and then walked out. James smirked as he watched him walk out. "Finally, my son forgave me and he''s interested in my business.." "I actually didn''t expect it but that''s very good. With Jason and Tyson''s intelligence, my businesses would soar higher. I''m really d this is working out.." He thought. He then remembered Giselle. "Well, I have to do what he asked of me. Gid knows how i have been dying for my son to forgive me. And now that he has, I can''t risk the choice. I''m sorry but my sones first.." James said. Just then Tyson walked in smiling. "Good evening dad.." He greeted and James smiled at him. "Dad, Elle and I already finalised our wedding ns today. Our engagement is in two days and our wedding is in two weeks from now!" Tyson announced. James rose his brows. "Why the haste? Let things die down first.." "Dad, time waits for no man. I''m sorry but I can''t postpone my wedding before your scandal and moreover we have a n for it so why should I?" Tyson asked and James nodded. ''Fine then. I''ll discuss with your mum and hear her opinion.." "That''s good. Elle''s mum is alsoing to the country tomorrow.." Tyson said. "She''sing here too, so have everything prepared.." Tyson added. "Fine. I understand. You are way too excited.." James said and Tyson smiled. "That reminds me, your brother called off his engagement with Giselle.. " "What?" "And you allowed it?" Tyson said angrily. James stood up. "And what could I have done? Your brother forgave me already. Today, for the first time in years, I saw his concern for me. Do you know how d that makes me?" James asked and Tyson scoffed. "But Dad.." "No buts my son, I''m just so d he forgave me. After all, Giselle is not the only girl he can get married to.." "That''s true because he''s in love with my fiancee.." Tyson blurted out. "What? Are you okay Tyson?" James asked. "Dad, I know you won''t believe me but the way he looks at her proves it all.." Tyson frustratedly said and Jamesughed. "You are incredibly funny. Jason is not that type of person. You know who he loves all these years. He''s still madly in love with that poor girlfriend of his. If it were you, I would understand. You were a womaniser before you met Elle and fell madly for her¡­" "Seriously, Dad, I know you would take his side. After all he''s your favourite son. You showed me that you really love Jason than us and that''s because you truly loved his mum and not mine. You always said she''s your first love. And first love don''t easily die.." Tyson thought with clenched fists. "Anyway, forget about that. I was thinking now that Jason is now on my side. Why don''t I tell him about the businesses. He would be a great help. You both will head the businesses and you will also assist him when he needs your help.." "What do you think?" James asked and Tyson clenched his fists more tightly. "It''s has been always Jason. I''m not surprised. But one thing is for sure, I won''t let him take my fiancee from me.." He thought. "That''s fine Dad.." Tyson faked a quick smile. The door opened and Deborah walked in with shopping bags smiling heartily. They both turned to her. "Where are youing from?" Tyson asked and she stopped and faced them. "From nowhere.." She retorted back. "What the hell is wrong with you? You can''t continue acting like a childish princess or I''ll send you to the states!" James threatened and she scoffed. "Of course do it, that''s what you want to do so you can keep me away from the truth of your illegal activities!" Deborah yelled at him. "We.." "Shut the hell up! So what if I did it, I''m not the only one who has done it.." James replied her angrily and the bags fell from her hands to the ground, some of the clothes and shoes she brought poured out from it. "Dad, so you are admitting it. You did it. You cheated. You have been cheating your way through in politics!" Deborah yelled in tears and James stood shocked to the spot. "I.. I thought you found out already.." He stammered. Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Staying with him Deborah moved backwards and shook her head as tears continue falling from her eyes. "Dad, you are guilty about it. You lied to me, you lied to all of us. Do you know how badly I defended you? Do you know i was mobbed by the people you cheated, i was almost injured.." "Dad!" She cried and fell to the ground. "I''m so disappointed.." James sighed and walked to her. He crouched before her and tried touching her but she pped his hand away. Tyson rolled his eyes. "Stop with this madness, Deb. Dad is not the only politician who had done this and besides, he did it for us. You wouldn''t have been able to leave such an extravagant lifestyle if not for that.." Deborah shook her head and then stood up. "You are all the same.." ''Stop it Deborah.." Lauren''s voice was heard behind her. "Mum..'' "Now that you know the truth, you should know this is what you have to do to win. Stop acting like a child. You are an adult now!" Lauren scolded and Deborah couldn''t believe her ears. She scoffed. "So you are all in cahoots. Well, I''m not surprised.." She said and then she walked out. They were all surprised when she walked out of the house. "Wait, Where''s she going? Stop her.." Lauren said and made to run after her but James held her back. "She can''t stay away for too long. She wille back running to us.." He said and Lauren sighed. *** ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Both Elle and Kiera were in the living room, waiting for Jason. He already promised to visit. As Elle was braiding Kiera''s hair, the door bell opened and Jason stepped in. Kiera''s eyes widened. She left her mum and immediately ran to embrace him. Jason smiled when he caught her in his arms. "Daddy, where were you?" She asked and he kissed her hair. "I''m sorry, I was busy with some work but I got some gifts for you.." He said and Kiera pecked him. "Thank you daddy, I''ll go to my room to check them out.." She said and made to go but then she paused and faced him. "Don''t try to escape daddy, you promised to y some games with me.." She smirked and heughed. "And the winner gets a gift.." She added. "I want ice cream and lots of choctes.." She said. "No, you know that''s not allowed. You will fall sick if you take too much of that.." Elle cut in. "Come on mummy, I take my drugs regrly and my inhaler is always with me. I''m fine.." She said and Jason furrowed his brows. "Inhaler?" He asked and Kiera nodded. She pecked him again and ran upstairs. "What inhaler? Is Kiera asthmatic?" Jason asked. "Yeah, my pregnancy had a lot ofplications, I had inhaled a lot of smoke in the fire that it affected my baby badly. I almost thought she died since we couldn''t feel her heartbeat but my princess miraculously survived and I''m forever grateful for that.." Jason walked to her and hugged her. "I can''t keep on apologising but.." Elle immediately broke the hug. "It''s fine, you don''t need to apologise.." She whispered. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "So how did it go?" He asked her and she smiled. "It went well enough. Our fake engagement is in two days and the wedding in two weeks¡­" "I guess that''s enough to gather all the evidence.." She said and he nodded and then kissed her neck. "And what about Langford?" "I''ll just keep him until the wedding day. He wi be a good use and thankfully he''s cooperating well now but we moved him to a very far ce from here.." Elle said and Jason kissed her lips. "Hey, what are you doing?" She chuckled. He immediately carried her in a bridal style and her eyes widened. "Put me down!" She giggled as he stated climbing the stairs. *** The cold breeze hit Deborah as she walked down the lonely and silent street. She dropped her phone in her bag so she didn''t have any means of contacting her brother or any one else. She got to a point where three guys were gathered and fear gripped her immediately. They looked at her with lust in their eyes and out of instincts, she began running. The guys started running after her. She didn''t even notice a rock ahead of her, her leg hit it and she fell to the ground groaning and began crying. For a minute, she regretted leaving home thiste. The guys caught up with her and she began crawling backwards. "Please, please, don''t hurt me. Please.." The guysughed and immediately one of them held her arms, while the other two started unbuckling their belts. Tears rushed out of their eyes. ''Please, leave me alone. Please have mercy on me.." She cried and the other one pped her causing her lips to be bruised. "You are very pretty so I am sure you will be a sweet too.." The first one said and just then a car drove towards them. The car''s door opened and he stepped out of the car. He rushed towards them and kicks, punches followed. Within a minute, two were lying on the floor unconscious and the other one ran off. Deborah who was still in shock sat up. Her eyes were getting dizzy and before she could pass out, he rushed towards her and embraced her. "You are fine now. Don''t be scared.." He said and kissed her hair. She raised her head and looked up at him. "Pervert.." She smiled and he nodded. "Come on, let''s get you out of here.." He said and then carried her up in a bridal style. FLASHBACK. Damien watched as Deborah walked in and after some seconds, he followed suit on the pretense of passing out a vital information to the governor. He stood behind a corner eavesdropping on their conversation and watched Deborah storm off angrily. He went after her immediately trailing her with his car but he didn''t know why he couldn''t invite her in. But then, he lost his cool when he saw some guys trying to force themselves over her and came to save her. FLASHBACK ENDS. He dropped her in the car and wore her seatbelt for her. "Are you sure you are okay?" He asked her caressing her hair. ''How did you know where i am?" "I followed you.." He replied immediately and she smiled. "Thank you for saving me.." "Should I just call your older brother, Jason?" He asked and she shook her head. ''No, it''s alreadyte. I''m sure he would be damn worried about me.." She replied. "Then will you stay at my ce?" Deb sighed before nodding. "Yeah.." Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Staying with him 2 And within few minutes, she was already asleep. Damien looked at her and smiled. And just then, his phone rang. It was his Dad calling. He rolled his eyes but then he answered the call. "What?" He said. "Son, how are you?!" Leo asked and he scoffed. "You don''t need to ask. You never cared before did you?" He asked and Leo sighed. "Do I have to always prove myself to you? I know you are not out of the country. Son, why don''t you come work for me? You are a geniusputer literate, skilled in martial arts, and also a damn good hacker. I need people like you with me.." Damien scoffed immediately. "Thanks but no thanks, I''m not interested.." He said and made to hang up the call but what he said next made him stop. "I know you are working for Governor James as his bodyguard or let''s say his daughter.. " Damien''s eyes widened and he sighed. "How did you know?" He asked. "Well, I saw the video of you protecting his daughter from the angry mob. If you can work for him, why not me? Infact everything that is mine is yours already. Son, I really need you.." He said and Damien scoffed again. "I don''t need your stupid riches Dad. It''s your greed that ruined us, it ruined our family and it ruined mum. Mum left, I never saw her again. Are you happy with that?" He said and hung up immediately. He looked at Deborah and found her still sleeping. "Thankfully, she''s still asleep. Now that Dad knows that I''m working as James''s bodyguard, it''s going to be a problem. I have to inform the others.." He mumbled and then sighed. A tear rolled off his cheek and he immediately wiped it off. "Mum.." "I really miss you.." Meanwhile Deborah stylishly opened her eyes. *** THE NEXT DAY. Lauren sighed as she looked at her phone. No missed calls, no messages from Deborah. She was really worried about her daughter. Just then, James walked in. "Hun, are you ready for the press conference?" He asked and Lauren shook her head. "Hun,aren''t you worried about our daughter? She hasn''t called nor sent any messages. She also left latest night." Lauren said worriedly. James said and held her shoulders. "She''s fine. I''m sure she is and besides she''s old enough to take care of herself. She''s probably in a friend''s house.." James said. "What? Aren''t you even worried at all? Your daughter is missing!" Lauren countered him. "Look, Hun, I''m worried about her but then, we have another press conference today and the n is going to take ce, I''m going to be in danger. Everything is just messy at the moment but when we come back, I will look for her.." James said and Lauren scoffed and then removed his hands from her shoulder. "You are unbelievable. All you care about is your political ambition. I''m not going anywhere until I find my daughter!" She yelled. "What do you want me to do? Huh? I''m trying my best! I''m trying all I could. All this would have never happened if it was not for Langford.." "Him again? Why bring him up? He has nothing to do with anything happening to you and he''s even kidnapped now. It''s almost going to two months that he went missing and you are still ming him!" "Why do you always like supporting him. Sometimes I''m being forced to think that you and him share a secret rtionship. What''s your rtionship with that guy?!" He yelled and she pped him. "I can''t believe you would say this but remember all I did was for your sake, and only for your sake!" She yelled and he scoffed. "Well, I''m grateful for that.

He covered his nose as he walked to the kitchen. "What''s going on here?" He asked and Deborah turned back to him with a smile. "I''m cooking.." She said and he immediately went and turned off the gas cooker. He looked at the food she was cooking and most of it were burnt. "Gosh! What are you doing? Are we going to eat burnt spaghetti for breakfast.." Deborah dropped the spoon. "Can you me me? I was born with a sliver spoon and I never learnt how to cook.." She said and he sighed. He held her shoulders. "Go sit, I''ll make breakfast.." He said and rolled up his sleeves. He started slicing the onions. "Do you know how to cook?" She asked. "Of course I do¡­" "Your mum taught you?" She deliberately asked and he stopped slicing the onions. "Of course.." He muttered and she smiled. "I know you don''t have a mum and you are just pretending to be my dad''s bodyguard. It''s clear that you hate him and you are working to bring him down.." "But strangely, I''m not scared of you and I feelfortable with you but then, I don''t even know if I should trust my family anymore. With what they did, they can do more.." She thought staring at him. "Do you need any help?" She asked and he smiled and looked at her. "No, I wouldn''t want you to burn all the food again.." He saidughing and she red at him angrily. "Hey, it''s not my fault that I was born a governor''s daughter and besides, I can make simple noodles and eggs.." "Yeah, right.." Damien saidughing more. "Hey!" She yelled and heughed the more. Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Panic attack! "Wow! Thumb up! Deb said as she ate from the food. "You are so good.." She smiled and he nodded. "I just called Jason. He will be here soon..''

Your parents must be extremely worried about you!" He cut in and she shook her head. "I''m not going home.." She said and sat down. "Deb.." "I said I''m not going.." She snapped at him and he sighed. He pulled a chair and sat beside her. "Don''t you find me suspicious?" He whispered and she looked up at him with tears eyes. "I''m your dad''s bodyguard but I have such a nice house like this. Aren''t you suspicious about that? I told you I have a mum but you don''t see her around? Do you? Aren''t you suspicious about that?" He asked and she shook her head. "I''m not suspicious about anything. Stop trying to make me scared of you!" She snapped and stood up. He also stood up. "I told you my name is Stephen but my real name is Damien. Aren''t you suspicious about that? I''m sure you are.." He raised his voice slightly. "You just met me for a few days and you im to trust m.." "Wait!" She yelled and he sighed. ''I trust you, Damien or whatever your name is. You proved me wrong that you are not a pervert like I thought and nothing you say can change my mind!" "And yeah, I overheard everything yesterday. Your dad is senator Leo, he abandoned you and your mum, your mum left you and she hasn''t returned.." She paused and tears streamed down her cheeks. "And I know.. " She hippcupped in tears. "I know you are plotting against my dad to bring him down.." More tears fell from her eyes. ''I told you didn''t I?Don''t trust me . Why? Because I''m going to bring your dad down without thinking twice, are you okay with it?" He asked and she shook her head in tears. "No, I''m not. But then, I don''t know what to belief anymore, my dad.." "I believe he''s guilty of the crimes you are fighting him about and I also know my brother''s fiancee Elle is in cahoots with you.." Deborah said. "Wow! You know so much!" Damien sighed and ran his hands into his hair. "I let my guard down without thinking of how smart you are, you are James'' daughter indeed.." He said and turned to leave. "But I want to know what crimes my dadmitted? I really want to know why are against him! At least, let me know as his daughter!" She said and he turned to face her. "Your dad murdered a family in order to hide his illegal businesses of drug and to retain his name in the political world. There, I told you one, do you believe that?" He asked and Deborah gasped. Tears ran down her eyes and immediately she held her chest and started going down. Damien''s eyes widened. He ran to her immediately and held her shoulders. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She''s having an attack again!" He yelled. "I brought her dose with me. It''s in the car, I''ll go get it. Just hold on to her tightly. Jason dashed outside while Damien ced her on the couch, he was confused, his heart hammering heavily against his chest. If anything happens to her, he wouldn''tever forgive himself. He kept on rubbing her palms and then he used his other hand to take his phone, and just as he was about to call the doctor, Jason walked in. He opened the medical kit and brought out an injection, then he injected it to her and she fell asleep almost immediately. Damien heaved a sigh of relief and kissed her hand. "Thank God you are safe.." He said with a relief. "What happened? What did you tell her? Something must have triggered it?" "She found out the truth about James.." "What? You told her?" "Well, she already knew and she forced me to say theplete truth. I just.." He paused and Jason sighed. "Thankfully, I brought her medical kit with me. Ever since she came back, it''s always with me because it happens when we least expect it!" He said and stood up. "I''m sorry.." Damien muttered feeling guilty. "It''s fine because she''s fine.." Jason said. ''But seriously Dad, Mum and Tyson couldn''t tell me that she left home. Were they foolish enough to let her go sote at night and now they are busy having a foolish press conference. Do they even care about her?!" Jason said angrily. "Jason.." The feminine voice said and they both turned to look at Deborah who was already sitting. Jason rushed to her and kissed her hair. "Deb, are you okay?" "I''m fine..'' She smiled. "All thanks to him.." She looked at Damien and Jason faced Damien. "Thanks a lot for protecting my baby sis. I really appreciate.." Damien sighed. "Come on, guys. It''s no big deal.." "How is it no big deal? I was almost raped but he saved me" Deb said and Jason''s eyes twitched. ''What? You were almost raped? Princess, are you fine?" "Yeah, I am but Jason, I want you to tell me the truth. Everything about Dad. I really want to know!" She said and Jason sighed. "It would be better if you don''t anything, princess.." "But I really want to know? Please tell me. Please?" Jason sighed and then nodded. "All right, I''ll tell you.." He said and she smiled. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Elle! As as the press conference was done, James stepped out with his bodyguards hovering around him. Immediately the reporters and the press attacked him. ''What do you have to say, Mr governor? Are the allegations true?" Ady asked and James smiled. "If it was so true, I would have been arrested by now but as you can see, I''m walking free.." He replied. "And you know we are in the days whereby Technology rules the world. Someone must have framed me up. I hope you all understand that.." "But what about the video scandal the other time?'' Another reporter asked. James sighed again and then smiled sadly. "I don''t know why they are after me. They want to tarnish my reputation, I''m sure you all know the great things I''ve done for this state ever since I became governor. Did you really think I will go as far and stoop so low just to gain power, I believe every one has their time to serve and I think my time is up. Let another faithful person take over from me. I will dly support the person and I will make sure that this election is conducted, free and fair.." He said and the reporters nodded, satisfied with the answers. "So all in all, someone is framing you up for the crimes you nevermitted?" "Yeah, that''s right. It''s very obvious.." James answered. "And who is your suspect, Governor?" Another reporter asked and James smirked. "Mayor Langford.." He announced and everyone gasped. "But isn''t the mayor kidnapped? He was kidnapped two months ago so how''s he your suspect?" "I know I might sound absurd but that''s the truth. I believe Mayor Langford was not kidnapped. He only went into hiding to deceive you all and gain the sympathy of the people, so when he is found, he won''t have a hard time winning the elections. That''s his strategy, I presume.." He said and everyone gasped again. "How sure are you governor?" Another said and James smirked inwardly. His n was sure working but then the bigger n is yet toe. "You see, we both had an argument right before he went missing. As you all know, i have a very cordial rtionship with Langford so it''s hurting me right now, deep within but I have to say the truth.." He paused and wiped off the fake tear that came rolling from his right eye. "Mayor Langford was really interested in being the governor. He wanted to run for governorship but when he heard that I''m also running for the same office, he became scared and he confronted me. He asked me to withdraw from the elections since I akrrady had my time as a governor but I told him that I still want to serve the people till myst breath and that brought the argument. He even swore to sabotage me and the very next day, he went missing. So as you can see everything corrtes with each other. Despite the Police''s efforts, our darling Mayor is yet to be found. He''s hiding waiting for the right time toe out.." James said and smiled and the reporters nodded. "Thank you for your time everyone, I''m d I had a chance to voice out my side of the story and I hope the people see what is right and wrong. If you still want to cast your votes for me, no probs.. " "And if you don''t want to, it''s fine. Anyway, I''m d I still managed to prove myself innocent.." Just as he was talking, he noticed a red light on a reporter''s forehead. He smirked inwardly. "Let the game begin.." ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . His eyes widened and he immediately pushed her off. She fell to the ground and a gun shot was heard.

"This is enough to gain the sympathy of the people, I''m surom77e they will all start praising me again.." He thought. ** Elle drove throu gh the lonely streets. She was on her way to see Langford incase he still had something to say. She could remember that he wanted to say something the other day but he couldn''t. He has confessed every other thing aside that and she would make sure she gets it out of him today. She furrowed her brows when she noticed a ck van was following her. "What''s that?" She mumbled and increased her speed. The van also increased its speed and before she knew it, they started shooting at her. "Gosh! Damn it!" She said and bowed slightly. Her hands went to the rear and her brought out her bbbnpistol. She looked outside a bit and then started shooting also. She immediately docked when another bullet was shot but she couldn''t control it any longer annd the van swerved and came in front of her car. She had to quickly stop her car from crashing into theirs. The van''s door opened and six masked men came out. She groaned and hit the sterling. "These damn guys are going to waste my time.." She thought. "Freeze.." One of them said and she removed her hands from the sterling then raised it up in the air. He opened the door and ordered her toe out but Elle was not scared. "Who sent you?" She asked and he smirked. "Comtinue talking and I will blow your head up!" The first one said. "Fine, I''m sorry. I won''t ask again but maybe I should do this¡­" She says and immediately kicked the gun out of his hand. She immediately grabbed him by the neck and brought out her gun from the trouser pocket. The others were shocked also. They were pointing their guns to her and she was pointing it to the head of their leader. "Try and pull the trigger and I won''t hesitate to blow up your leader''s head and feed it to the dogs.." She said and then shot his leg. He groaned in pain but his minions couldn''t do anything so they didn''t want to lose their leader. "Step back. Don''t shoot. Drop your guns.." Their leader said in pain and they did so. He tried to hit her using his elbow but she dodged it and immediately pushed him to the ground and then stepped on his wound. He yelled madly in pain. "Now, I want to ask this simple question? Who sent you?" She asked. "It''s no one.." The leader answered and she pressed his leg more harder. He groaned again. "It''s ma''am Giselle.." He blurted out and she smirked. "Never knew she hates me to this extent.." She said and then removed her leg from him. "Tell her what you encountered.." She said and made to leave but then she turned and immediately a gun shot hit her chest. She groaned and held it but then smirked. "I''m wearing a very good bulletproof vest.." She said and then she brought her gun and then shot three of them dead. The other three were shocked. She walked towards the two that were standing close to each other and mmed their heads madly against each other and they fell down unconscious. Elle turned back to the leader who was still groaning in pains. He was undoubtedly shocked. She was damn good. "Tell your boss what you just saw.." She winked at him and walked out. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Tyson¡¯s my son Elle got down from her car and smiled when she got to the hidden stage house. She opened the door and walked in, there she met de on his phone, typing furiously. "de..'' She called and he immediately sprang up on his feet. "Boss ma''am.." He called with a light smile. "Where''s he?" She was referring to Langford. "He''s inside.." He pointed to a door and she nodded. "Hope he is safe and unscathed?" She asked and de nodded. "Trust me boss ma''am ever since you asked me to hurt him, I definitely didn''t touch him and he has also been good to ustely. I don''t have any problems with him" de said dramatically. Elle chuckled and then she went to the door, opened it and then walked in. She met Langford in the room. His eyes were glued to the television and his fists were clenched tightly as he watched the tv. Elle looked up to the tv and her eyes widened when she saw James shot. "So this is the n he was hatching all along.." She thought. "He wants to gain the sympathy of the people again through this. How sly?" She scoffed and then walked towards Langford. "Hello mr Mayor.." She greeted with a smile and he turned to look at her. "When am I getting out of here? I need to get out of here to prove my innocence. James is ruining my reputation and I''m stuck here!" He yelled and she smiled. "You just have to spit out the truth and I promise I am going to let you out of here.." She said and he scoffed. "I told you everything I know already. There is nothing more to tell.." Langford cut in. "You know there is something more to tell me.." Elle said and he sighed. "Why can''t you tell me the truth? Are you perhaps afraid James might kill you or do you want to die hiding the truth forever.." Elle said and he sighed again. "Tell me the truth if you want to live and save your reputation or else you will be kept in here for the rest of your life.." Elle added. "You know me and how serious I can get when I want something. I want the truth out of you and I''m going to get it no matter what so it''s just better to tell me the truth.." Elle snapped at him and he sighed, his lips were already trembling and he looked downwards. Elle scoffed in anger. "I see you are not ready to tell me the truth, till we meet again, Mr Mayor.." She said and turned to leave but his voice stopped her. "I will tell you the truth.." He suddenly said and she smirked. She immediately faced him. "Go on.." She urged him. "Actually Lauren and I were close already before she met James. They actually met because of me and James started cheating on his wife cause he liked Lauren. Things got messier when his wife suddenly died and at that time, Lauren already gave birth to Tyson who was just a year younger than Ja¡­" "I know all that. Can you cut to the real story and stop beating around the Bush?" She asked him and he sighed out. "Yeah, actually.." He paused and Elle looked at him curiously. "The thing is Tyson is not James''s son. He is actually Lauren and my son. She only lied to trap James into marrying her.." He said and Elle''s eyes widened. "Wait, w.. what?" She stuttered. "Tyson is not James''s son. But how?" She paused and ran her hands into her hair. "So will you let me go now?" "No, not until I verify what you are saying. You could just be lying to leave the ce for all I know..'' She snapped at him and he sighed. "You said you wanted the truth and I told you already what happened? What else do you want?'' He yelled at her. "Proof!" She yelled back at him. "I want proof and when I find the truth, I will let you go, that''s a promise.." She said and then walked closer to him, she removed a strand of his hair and smirked. "This will be the proof I need.." She said and walked out. Langford groaned immediately she did. "Why did I tell her the truth?'' He asked himself and then his mind went back to James. "When I get out of here, the first thing I will do is to kill you.." He thought. ****** "What?'' Giselle yelled looking at the three goons in front of her. They were badly injured. "What do you mean she defeated you all?!" She yelled angrily again. "We are sorry ma''am but her skills are too great for us. I was very surprised and she also made me lose three of my minions. It''s a great loss for me!" The leader said sadly and Giselle pped hard across his right cheek. "You ipetent fools! I gave you one simple job but you failed at it! And you dare show me your face! How are you?" She yelled angrily. "Ma''am, I''m so sorry but it would be better that you give us the remaining payment. As you can see, we are badly injured and we will need the money for treatment.."

"I still can''t believe Tyson is not James''s son. It''s really hard to believe.." She said and then she started the car and took off. "I just have to get Tyson''s hair so I can conduct the DNA test.." She smirked and then took out her phone from the rear. She failed Tyson''s number immediately. "Babe.." She called as soon as he answered the call. "Babe, I saw what happened on tv. Is your dad okay? How''s his wound? Hope it is kit so serious?" She asked in a fake concern voice and Tyson sighed over the phone. He''s fine, baby. The bullet only grazed his arm.." Tyson said and she smiled. "Thank goodness. It''s not his time to die yet because he still has many things to do.." Elle said with a smirk. "Pardon?" "I meant I was scared that the wound was fatal. Thankfully it''s not. It''s not his time to die yet, he''s such a governor and my future father inw. Mum ising over for dinner. Is everything ready?" She asked. "Of course baby. Everything is ready.

She''s so cute. She took after your facial features mostly. She''s a perfect blend of you and Asanel.." Deborah said happily and Jason smiled while Damien just watched their drama. He was happy that she was finally smiling so happily without any fear in the world. He was actually very scared with the way she acted earlier but now he was very relief. After a while, Jason stood up. "Deb, do you still want to go home?'' Jason asked and she sighed and bit her lower lip. "No.." She mumbled and stood up top. "I don''t want to go home and stay with murderers at least not for now¡­" She added and Jason nodded. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I understand, princess. Whenever you are ready, just tell me and I''ll take you home. At least you have to act like you don''t know anything for now.." He said. "Yeah. I still actually can''t believe it. Dad and Mum are this brutal? If this were toe from another person, I won''t ever believe it but it''s you, Jason. You always want the best for me so I know you didn''t lie to me.."

She winked and they all smiled. "Honestly, it feels so good to meet this family. It''s like you are my second family.." She added and Elle smirked. Her mum was a good actress more better than she expected. She wondered how she was able to sit with her daughter''s killer and smile with them. Well, she did it so her mum wasn''t different. ''I''m so sorry, I didn''t mean to pry into your family matters but I saw everything that happened on the television and I can''t help but wonder if you are fine.

You exined it to them. I just wonder how that Langford is doing now? Since both of you were friends and he betrayed you. I''m disappointed but all in all, I learnt not to trust anyone, cause you will be back stabbed like you now.." She said and sighed. "It''s fine. Let''s stop talking about this.." Lauren faked a smile but deep down, she was worried about her daughter. She nced at James and Tyson but they were smiling heartily like nothing happened. No one noticed that her daughter was missing. She looked at Jason and saw him eating unbotheted by what was going on and suddenly it struck her mind that Jason might know where Deborah is. Even if Deborah is angry at everyone, the only person she can''t stay angry with forever is Jason. She loves and adores him that much. So she was sure that Jason knows where she is. Meanwhile Elle looked at Tyson womdering how to get his sample for the DNA test. Her eyes went to the spoon he was holding and she smiled. "I think we should finish up the food so we can discuss the wedding preparations. Right love?" She held his arm and gave him a light peck and Tyson nodded. Jason scoffed when he saw that. "It''s like she''s forgotten about me here. I don''t know ehe has to act so touchy with him. Can''t she act normal?" He scoffed again and looked up. Their eyes met and she winked at him. Jason bit his lower lip to stop it from smiling. Gosh! Thisdy will be the death of him. She looked so cute while doing that. He looked up and she did the same, secretly smiling. Jason winked at her also and she smiled again secretly. Tyson noticed it and quickly asked. "Babe, why are you smiling all of a sudden?" "Oh it''s nothing actually. I was just dreaming of our wedding. How it''s going to be! That day will be the happiest day of my life.." She said and Jason choked. He coughed out and immediately stood up. He was struggling to hold hisughter, thatdy of his was a damn good actress. Like anyone would buy her act anytime, anyday. "Excuse me please.." He said and walked. Even Laura was awed by the acting of Elle. She had not witnessed it so she was surprised but her daughter was so good. They rounded up the dinner and they all went to the living room except Elle who pretended like she wanted to recieve a phone call. As soon as they left, she immediately grabbed Tyson''s spoon and put it in a stic bag before putting it in her bag. Lauren was at a corner waiting for Jadon saw her but she didn''t see what she put into her bag. ''What''s that?" She asked herself and shrugged when she saw Jasoning. Jason got to her and was about to pass her by but she called him back. "Jason.." Jason stopped on his tracks and then turned to face her. "You called me.." He furrowed his brows. ''I''m sure you know Deborah left the house. Do you know where she is?" She asked and Jason scoffed inwardly. "Perfect time to worry about her.." He thought. He quickly faked a surprise look. "What? Deborah is missing? Howe I didn''t know? I thought she''s in her room!" He said and Lauren was shocked by his sudden change of emotions. She was sure that he was lying. He was not sp surprised at first but now he is. Probably he knew where Deb is. ''That''s why I''m asking you Where''s she? Where''s my baby? I want to see her.." She said almost in tears. Jason sighed. "I''m sorry mom. But I don''t know where Debby is. I really have no idea.." He said and walked away. Lauren fell on her knees then she broke into tears. "Where are you baby? Your mum misses you quite badly.." She said in tears and Jason sighed when he heard that but he remembered that Deborah didn''t want anyone to know her whereabouts for now. Jason closed his eyes, then he opened then and walked away. The dinner party was over soon and everything was sorted out. *** ELLE''S MANSION. "Mamita, you did great there. Cheers to that!"

The door bell rang and Elle smiled. "It must be Jason.." She thought and rushed to the doorbell. She opened it and smiled when she saw it was him. "Ja.." She couldn''tplete her statement when he grabbed her waist. "Hey, what are you doing?" She whispered. He pulled her closer and mmed his lips on her urgently as they both walked in and he closed the door gently. Elle broke the kiss and stared at him. "What''s wrong?"

He said and Elle sighed. "From what I found out, it seems they were both lovers before your dad came into the picture. Apparently, your dading into the picture ruined things between them as Lauren fell for James but then she still decided to pin her pregnancy on your foolish dad.

"So what do you have to tell me?" She asked. Jason smirked and brought out the Brown diary. He gave it to her and her eyes widened. "What''s this?"

Tyson is.." She couldn''tplete her statement again when he punched her hardly on her stomach. She groaned and fell on her back. He got to her and held her neck, strangling her in the process. "You betrayed me!" He yelled. "Die!" He yelled adding more pressure as she gasped for breath. Her eyes widening every second. "Die!" He said again. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Secre "Die!" He said again and tears ran down hee eyes. "I can prove it.. I can..'' She choked on her words and he removed his hands from her neck. He stood up and walked to the bed while she coughed out profusely. "A question you need to give a straight answer to?" He said and she sat up. Her neck was damn red because of the choking. "Did you ever have a rtionship with Langford?" He asked and she sighed. "Yeah, before you came into my life. We were best friends with benefits. It was usually no string attached. Trust me, it was you I fell for. I loved you ever since I met you and trust me, I never cheated on you since we both started our rtionship. Tyson is your son. Only yours. Not any one else.." "How do I trust that?" He asked. "And how is you trust something you just saw. I''m sure that it''s a method for you to lose your trust in me. After all the threats we have received, I''m sure this is just one of them or better still we can still have the DNA test done. If you don''t trust me.." She said in tears and started hip cupping. "It''s all my fault. I should have trusted you when you said Langford was theulprit.he wed not kidnapped. He''s just doing this out revenge. He knows we are a happy family and he wanted to separate us. He wanted us to start having doubts about each other. That''s why he did this.." She said in tears and James sighed. He suddenly felt guilty. He should not have reacted that way until torturing his wife. How could he have been so stupid? That''s one thing about him that he should control, his anger. He gets really hard to control when he is angry and he does a lot of trash things. But then what if it was actually true that Tyson is not his son? James sighed and then he stood up and walked to his wife. He crouched beside her and touched her hair. "Hun, I want you to trust me. So let''s have the DNA test. I don''t want any doubts between us Hun.." She cried. He sighed and wiped off the tears off her eyes. "I''m sorry also. I reacted way too angrily and I hurt you a lot. I can''t believe I almost choked you to death.." He said with a remorseful look and Lauren wiped off her tears. "It''s fine. Our rtionship is bound to be tested anyways. And thankfully, we overcame the test and proved our love and loyalty for each other. Hun, I just want you to trust me. I love you very much and I can''t even dream if cheating on you.." She said and he nodded. Then he hugged her. "I love you too.." He mumbled staring into space. Lauren smirked. Even if he had insisted on having the DNA test done, it would have still been positive. She had prepared well enough for this day. Her secret remained with her and no one will ever find out until her death. And she would not lie, she knows it not Langford that sent the reports. No matter what happened, Langford can never betray her. He''s crazily in love with her and would do anything for her happiness. That''s why he helped her in getting into James'' life. It was definitely another person. Then she remembered Jason. Shd had actually seen Jason standing by a corner watching the drama and then he smiled mischievously. He smirked! "Yeah, there was no one else that could do this except him considering that he hates her for his mum''s death. But then, how did he get the information. He could not have gotten any information except from Langford. Does that mean that Jason is with Langford? He kidnapped Langford and tortured him to say the truth so they can be thrown out of their lives and so he could have all the businesses to himself. She had really underestimated Jason and it was her mistake. Not anymore, she would do what she failed to do many years ago and that''s killing him. "Jason!" She thought and clenched her fists. Meanwhile James on the other hand was also lost in thoughts. He wanted to find out everything himself. Lauren might be lying to him. He would conduct a DNA test on him and Tyson secretly so she wouldn''t suspect a thing and so he can find out the truth also. DAMIEN''S MANSION. Kieraughed as she ran around. Deborah was behind her. After all of the efforts she caught up with her and carried her by her waistughing hysterically. "Fine, I loose..'' Kiera chuckled and Deborah brought her down. They both fell on the bed. "So I told you my secret what''s yours?" Deborah asked. Kiera smiled and sat up. "Why don''t you tell uncle Damien that you like him?" Kiera asked innocently and Deborah immediately covered her mouth with her palm. "Sssh, I told you it''s a secret. No one must find out especially your daddy. He is going to get mad when he finds out so you must not tell him, even your mum.." Deborah said and Kiera ced her index finger on her lips. "Fine, I won''t tell anyone. I promise.." She blinked innocently and Deborah smiled. "Let''s continue ying the secret game. What''s your secret?" Deborah asked and Kiera blinked for some seconds and then she smiled.

"I saw a DNA test report.." Kiera said and Deborah furrowed her brows. "What? DNA test report? Do you know the meaning of that?" She asked and Kiera shook her head. "Mummy refused to tell me, even daddy. But it was a DNA report of Tyson Mad.." She paused. "Tyson Mad?" She asked and Kiera nodded. "Why does it sound so familiar like my brother''s name?" She asked herself. "And also a mayor Langfour.. and it was positive.." Kiera said. Deborah''s eyes widened. She got it now. A DNA test report of her brother and Uncle Langford and it was positive. Deb gasped immediately. "Pretty aunt, I don''t understand anything. Can you please exin to me.." She asked. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Chapter 88 It¡¯s Romantic "What?" She thought. "Kiera, are you sure of what you just said?" Deborah asked again and she nodded. "I''m only telling you because it''s a secret. So please tell me, what''s the meaning of DNA test reports?" Kiera blinked her eyes and Deborah sighed. She quickly faked a smile. "Baby, it''s nothing important. When the right timees you will know the meaning. You said you wanted to eat right? I will go prepare food for you.." She said and Kiera frowned hut Deborah kiseed her forehead making her smile. "I''ll be back soon. Just continue drawing. Hmn.." She winked and Kiera nodded. Deborah ran her hands into her hair as she walked downstairs. She still could not take her mind off what Kiera told her. She knows it''s true because Ells must have left it carelessly and she came across him. But she still needed response. Yeah, she''s going to ask Jason when hees. She will make sure to get the truth from him no matter what. She walked downstairs and met Damien in the parlour, tyoing furiously on hisptop. She smiled but quickly pped her cheeks. "What are you thinking about?" She thought and made to rush to the kitchen but his voice stopped her. ''I figured out that you and Kiera kihht get hungry so I cooked. You can just reheat the food.." He said and she nodded. "Yes.." She said nodding her head numerous time and as she made to hurry to the kitchen. His voice stopped her again. "Until when are you going to avoid me?" He asked and her heart skipped. She stood still like she was shocked by electricity. He stood up and walked up to her. "You really think avoiding me can solve the problem, huh?" He whispered and she closed her eyes and sighed before opening them again. "Yeah. Whatever happened was wrong considering the fact that I''m younger than you.." She said and he scoffed. "Younger? You are twenty and soon to be twenty e this year.." "You said you don''t girls that''s are younger! You said so yourself!" She snapped at him and he smiled. She furrowed her brows at him before ring hard at him. "What''s so funny? Why are you smiling?" She asked angrily. "I just noticed but you are pretty, really pretty.." He smiled handsomely and her cheeks reddened immediately. She immediately regained her senses. "Hm, I''m sorry I need to heat the food for Kiera.." She said and made to leave but he grabbed her arm. "What are you doing? Let go of me or I''ll hit you on the face?" She red at him and he chuckled. "You can hit meter. I just want to confirm something.." He said and pulled her closer, then he kissed her on the lips gently. Deborah''s eyes widened as his lips moved against hers. Damien''s heart was racing as fast as it could and so was hers too. He broke the kiss and smiled, caressing her right cheek while she stood still, blinking like she was still in shock. "It''s confirmed, I.. " He was not even able toplete his sentence when she pushed him off and ran off. Damien giggled. "She''s really cute.." He smiled and then touched his racing heart. "I really fell for her. But so soon, I was madly in love with Elle all this while and then suddenly she came and I fell for her already" "Does it mean what i thought was love for Elle was not love all this time? Was it because I was too attached to her and I thought it was love.." He thought and fell on the couch giggling. He looked back and giggled again. "She''s really driving me crazy.." He thought. ****** JASON''S MANSION. Jason sat beside the pool, checking out somethings in the brown diary his father gave him the other day. It''s easy obvious the businesses he was talking about was illegal. The hiechary of the bosses was written in it. Their leader was a renowned Chinese Politician Dn Wang and Senator Leo was the second inmand. Some businessmen in Japan were also included in the lists and so far his dad was the fifth inmand. Jason smiled. "Bingo! This can help a lot.." He said. "Hello sugar.." He heard a familiar voice behind him. His eyes widened in surprise. He stood up and turned back immediately. "Anel, you are here.." He said. She smiled and rushed to hug him. Jason smiled more widely and reciprocated the hug. "I missed you a lot that I couldn''t sleep so I came.." She said and broke the hug, wrapping her hands around his shoulder while his hands are around her waist. "Awwn, that''s cute. At least this time I''m not the one missing you too much.." He winked and she smiled. "And What''s was that you called me earlier?" He asked and she shrugged. "That! I called you "Sugar". You are my sugar you know.."

I love you very much, Sparkle.." He said and she smiled. She pushed him off immediately and heughed. "Hey! Why did you have to remind me of that?" She snapped at him and heughed harder. "I can''t believe you were so jealous back then. You were willing to break her head all because she kissed me. You only calmed down after I told you "you are always my Sparkle.." He said and she red at him. "You were even refusing my advances. You knew I wrote those love letters to you but you turned a blind eye to it. I was very happy that night. It actually showed you liked me ever since but you were ying hard to get.." He winked. She scoffed and pushed him. He fell into the pool directly and she busted intoughter. "That serves you right!" She yelled. Jason emerged from the pool and swarm towards her. He grabbed her legs and she crashed into the pool with him. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Chapter 89 SHE¡¯S JEALOUS! "Hey!" She yelled and heughed. She was wet from head to toe already. "Hey, what if I didn''t get extra clothes.." She red at him and he smiled again. "Then what are my clothes for?" He winked and she gasped with widened eyes. She hit him in the chest immediately. "Gosh! You pervert!" She yelled and heughed. She pushed him away and started sshing water on him giggling. They both started ying with the water with Elle dodging whenever she could. Eventually he caught up with her and grabbed her waist. He looked at her affectionately. "Thank you foring into my life. Every day of my life feels so good because of you and Kiera.." He smiled. "Thank you too for giving me Kiera and for still loving me all these tears even if I left you without any notice. You still loved me. I''m really lucky.." She smiled and bumped their forehead together. "I love you.." She smiled and he kissed her forehead. Then her eyes and then he kissed her softly on her lips. LATER MASTERS BEDROOM. Elle walked out of the bathroom drying her hair. She smiled when she saw Jason working on hisptop. She walked to the bed. "Kiera hasn''t called me yet. Did she call you?" She asked and Jason looked up at her. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. "No, she didn''t. It seems like she''s enjoying her stay with her aunt. I''m not expecting her call again, it''s alreadyte¡­" She said and sat on the bed. "Any progress now?" She asked again and he smiled. "Yeah, I''ve found out the other members of the secret organisation. So far, everything is smooth. We can use this to reveal the truth about them.." He said and she smiled. "It won''t be enough, Sugar. Seriously, we still need more evidence.." She said, ''Sparkle, we can''t continue to dy this anymore. Your wedding is in two weeks and we can''t allow that to happen.." He said s d Elle sighed. "No, I think the wedding will push through." Elle said and Jason''s eyes widened. He stood up abruptly. "What? What are you saying Sparkle? The wedding is going to go on. I thought we agreed on revealing it before the wedding.." He said and she sighed. She walked up to him and held his hands. "Sugar, that would be a better medium to reveal their true colours to the world. You see, I''m sure our wedding will be broadcasted everywhere. It''s going to be huge and I''m sure a lot of people are going to be watching it. That would be a better medium to show the world, the Madison''s true colour and that day I will reveal who I am to tha world. I''m going to clear my parents name.." She said and he removed his hands from hers. "Sparkle, you are clearly not understanding. This is very risky. What if something happens and you get married to him. How will we be able to protect our daughter? What if.." He sighed and touched his forehead with his hands. "I can''t let you do this, I''m sorry¡­" He said and shook his head. "But.." He cupped her cheeks immediately. "Please let''s not fight over this okay. Cupcake, let''s just forget this. You are not doing this please.." He said and Elle swallowed hard. "Promise me.." He said and she nodded. "Fine, I promise you.." She said and he smiled. "That''s better.." He kissed her forehead and smiled. "I love you.." He added. "I''ll be right back.." He said and walked out of the room. Elle sighed and fell to the bed. "I''m sorry Jason. I''m sorry for lying to you but I have to do it. That''s the best option I have. It''s better if I don''t tell you. I know you will be mad but I don''t have any option.. " She sighed. "But how do I get him to confess all his misdeeds. This brown diary is not enough.." She wondered and then an idea popped up in her head. She smirked. "Yeah, that''s right. The truth serum.." She said and smiled more widely. "And Jason will be the one to give to him himself¡­" She added andughed. "In two weeks time, you will be done for. I will ruin everything you worked hard for.." She said and clenched her fists. DAMIEN''S MANSION. "Okay. Copy that Elle.." Damien said over the phone. "You would Sabrina over to give me the truth serum. Fine then.." He said. "But then, Elle. There is something I haven''t told you. Yesterday, i watched the CCTV footage and then I saw James hitting his wife up to the point of killing her.." Damien said and Elle chuckled. "That''s the result of the DNA results I sent to him. I''m sure his trust in wife is beginning to weaken. That''s what I exactly want.." Damien smirked. "That''s a good move exactly. We just have two more weeks to take them down. And it''s going to be tough for us¡­" He said and she nodded. "I know but I''m very willing. So I can finally live in peace with my loved ones.." Elle said . "But what if Jason finds out about your ns? I''m sure he''s going to be mad.. " He said. "Yeah but I have no choice do I?" She asked. "Yeah that''s right. Fine then, I''lleter to see you.." He said. "Bye¡­" He added and hung up. He sighed when he remembered his dad. He was sure his father would be joining James in jail. "I shouldn''t care.." He said and shrugged. TWO HOURS LATER. Deborah groaned and came down. She was so bored after Kiera left. She wouldn''t lie. She misses her family a lot and she sent a text message to inform them not to worry about her and she''s doing very fine. No matter what she does, fact remains that they are still her family. She walked to the kitchen to make some noodles for herself but the doorbell rang. "Coming.." Came her sweet voice. She hurried to the door and opened it. It was a woman. She was chewing gum. Her hair was packed into side ponytails. She had heavy make up on. "Who are you?" She asked when she saw Deborah. "Excuse me.." She furrowed her brows. "Anyway, Where''s Dam? Tell him Sabrina is here to see him.." She rolled her eyes. Deborah was about to reply when Damien''s voice came. "Sabrina!" He called. She smiled immediately and pushed Deborah away and rushed to hug Damien. "OMG! I missed you Damien and you are looking so handsome now.." Shr gushed hugging him more tightly and Deborah scoffed. Damien smiled and her eyes widened. "Woah! Don''t tell me he just smiled at thatdy?" She thought angrily. Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Stop making me go crazy "Did you get the truth serum," Damien asked with a smile and she nodded. She grabbed his arm immediately. "Gosh, I missed you a lot. The others also send their regards. You know it was not quite long when we used to be trainers. I miss those days.." She smiled and Deborah scoffed. "I''m sure you knew my feelings for you never faded. I still like you and your charming smile .." She said again and Deborah rolled her eyes angrily, clenching her fists also. Damien sighed. He still has not gotten used to her troubles since all these years. At least he found some peace for the several months they were apart but now she''s here again. "Sabrina, aren''t you leaving now? I thought you have a lot of work to do?" He asked and she held him tighter. "No, these days Miss Elle gives us less work to do. And anyways, we will be returning to New Zend in two weeks time so let me spend my time with you in case you don''te along or will you?" She asked and Damien sighed. He looked over to Deborah who was obviously angry. She rolled her eyes immediately, their eyes met. Damien smirked inwardly. "She''s obviously jealous.." He thought. "But Who''s she? Is she your girlfriend?" Sabrina asked ring at Deborah who red back at her.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "No.." He said and she scoffed the more. Damien almostughed. If only she knew how cute she was at the moment. "She''s my guest.." He said and Deborah sighed and pushed her hair backwards. She walked towards them immediately and her eyes went to their linked arms. She faked a smile and looked at them. "Since I''m the guest here, I would love to offer you special treatment but who are you to him?" She asked. Sabrina smiled. "I''m his future girlfriend.. No, I meant wife¡­" She said and Deborah rolled her eyes. "That little brat.." She muttered under her breath. Suddenly she smirked. "Fine then. Since you are his soon to br girlfriend, I meant wife. How about I cook you a delicious meal you won''t ever forget?" Deborah asked sarcastically, smiling. Damien''s eyes widened. "What''s she doing?" He thought. Sabrina smiled. "Yeah, I really want the offer.." She said and Deborah nodded. "I''ll be back in twenty minutes with your delicious food. Just so you know, I''m a very good chef.." She winked and walked away while Damien sighed. He untangled his arms from hers. "I''ll be back.." He said and rushed after her. "Gosh! He''s so dreamy.." She pouted and fell on the couch. KITCHEN. Deborah rolled her eyes repeatedly as she sliced the onions. Tears were rushing out from it but she cared less. She was slicing the onions with so much anger in her. "His future wife.." She scoffed. "And she''s not even pretty. I can boldly tell I''m prettier than her.." She added. "What are you doing?" Damien asked bebjnf her. She turned to him with a re. "What does it look like? I''m cooking for your future wife.." She smiled and continued slicing the onions aggressively. "Just stop it. We both know how good of a cook you are" He said and she smiled again. "I learnt from you, thr great cook. And don''t worry, I''m making a simple dish, Spahettti and Shrimp sauce.." She said ring at him and just then, she cut her finger. "Aah!" She gasped and dropped the knife. Damien immediately rushed to her and grabbed her hand. "That''s why I told you to stop but you wouldn''t listen.." He said and looked at her bruised finger. "Let''s take care of this.." He said but she withdrew her hand from him. She opened the tap and washed it off with running water. "See! It''s over.." She showed him the finger and picked up the knife. "Come on, just stop this if you don''t want to get hurt.." "I''m not a little kid anymore. I''m twenty years of age. Why do you all treat me like one?!" She yelled. "Leave. You are disturbing me.." She said and picked up the cabbage. "Fine!" He snapped at her and walked away. "That fool.." She bit her lower lip. "She will regreting here today.." She smiled and started slicing the cabbage. A FEW MINUTES LATER. "The food is ready. It''s ready.." Deborah sang as she started arranging the dishes on the dining table. Sabrina smiled and stood up. She walked to the dining table and sat. Damien just watched from behind with a sigh. "I knew she was troublesome but not to this extent. She''s acting childish now.." He muttered. Deborah smiled and served the food to her. "Enjoy your meal.." She said and walked to a corner to watch her. "Thanks.." Sabrina smiled and took a fork. Her eyes went to the chicken and she took a bite of it. "Hm, it''s yummy.." She smiled. She then took a spoonful of the spaghetti and the sauce and she began coughing loudly. "Water! Water!" She yelled. Deborah immediately rushed up to her. She took a jar of water and poured it into the sscup. Sabrina collected it immediately not noticing it was hot. She took a sip and dropped it down. ''Do you want to kill me? It''s hot!" She yelled angrily and Deborsh gasped. "I''m sorry, I.." She made to touch her but Damien grabbed her hand. She looked at hom but he was having a nk expression. "Go in.." His voice was cold. She swallowed hard and withdrew her hand from him. Then she walked away. He then gave another ss of water to drink. She drank it and immediately sighed. "I thought she was a good cook but the food was salty and very spicy. Gosh! What if I had choked and died?" She asked him. "I''m sorry. But you should leave now and don''te until Elle tells you to.." He said and walked away. Sabrina scoffed. She grabbed her bag and walked out of the house. ** Deborah sat on the bed, wondering if she did the right thing. The door swung open and Damien walked in. "Hey, next time knock before you walk in. What if I was changing my dress?" She snapped at him. "You are acting childish, Deborah. I don''t know if it''s because of the princess lifestyle you lived but this.." "I know I did something wrong but i wasn''t in my right senses.." "You should know better. What if she had gotten hurt in the process?" "You sound like you like her?" Deborah said getting up. "You see. You are acting childish again, that''s why.." "That''s why you will never be able to like me right because I''m like a little sister to you. You are Jason''s agemate right. That''s what you want to say but Jason is only older than me with three years so stop acting like I''m a child!" She yelled angrily. "And why would you kiss me if I''m being childish. You shouldn''t do that to your little sis. You shouldn''t raise my hopes high. You literally did that if you don''t know!" She yelled at him. Damien sighed. "Deb.." He made to touch me but she loved backwards. "No, don''t touch me. You''ve always hated me from the start so it''s understandable. I''ll just call Jason to take me out of here.." She said and made to walk away but he grabbed her hand and forcefully pulled her into a hug, sighing as he did. "Stop making me go crazy. It''s not funny..'' He muttered caressing her hair. Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Get rid of him Deborah immediately stiffened when he said those words and she could feel her angering down. "You shouldn''t be hugging your younger sister this way. ." She smirked and he broke the hug. "Seriously, did you have to ruin the moment?" He scoffed and she smirked. "I''m such a gentle girl tho'' She said and he scoffed. "Seriously, you just have an innocent look but Gosh, you are just so troublesome. I knew what you were up to when you offered to cook for her.." "Well that serves her right for flirting with you.." She blurted out with a shrug. "What?" He asked and she gasped when she realised what she said. Damien smirked. "Oh! You didn''t like the way she was flirting with me right?" He asked and Deborah swallowed hard at nothing. "Huh?" "Wait, were you jealous?" He asked moving close to her and out of impulse, she moved backwards. "Of course not.." She immediately said. He came to her and she immediately pushed him off. "Actually Jason asked me to call him. Bye for now.." She saud and rushed out while heughed. "That girl.." He muttered and shook his head. He brought out his phone from his pocket and dailed Elle''s number. N?velDrama.Org content rights. She answered the call after the second ring. "Hey Damien.." She said. "Hi Elle. How are you and everyone?" He asked. "We are all fine.." She replied. "How''s Kiera?" He asked and Elle sighed. "Gosh! That girl. She''s frustrating me. Thankfully she''s with Mamita so I''m free for now and she even told me something funny. She ims you like Deborah.." Elle said and Damien immediately coughed. "What?" "That little brat.." He muttered. "Yeah, she keeps telling me to matchmake you guys together. n your wedding and all of sort of stuff. Of course, I shunned her and told her she''s too young for things like this but she just.. She just insisted on it. You know how she is.." Elle exined and Damien swallowed hard. He smiled awkwardly like she was there. "Maybe that''s why you need to give her a little sister or brother.." He said and Elle gasped. "Dam!" She gasped and Damien chuckled. "What? I didn''t say anything wrong did I?" He asked and Elle chuckled. "Of course not. But even if I were to get pregnant, I won''t get pregnant now. I can''t even get pregnant now for the safety of both me and my baby. I''m even still afraid if my daughter will be caught up in this mess. So until we expose James true identity to the world and ensure our safety. I wouldn''t think of getting pregnant. It would be very risky.." Elle said. "Yeah you are absolutely right and speaking of James Madison. Sabrina brought the truth serum already. I''lle over to your ce and give you there.." He said and Elle sighed. "Thanks a lot Damien. Thank you for being there for me always. I really can''t repay you.." Elle said and Damien smiled. "It''s my pleasure Danielle. But then when are you going to use the truth serum?" He asked and she smirked. "At the bachelor''s party.." Elle said. ''A day before the wedding?" He asked and she nodded. "But how?" He asked. "I''m going to make them drunk badly, even Lauren won''t be left out and I''ll spike James''s drink with the truth serum and he would be left with no other choice than to spill the truth to me. I''ll make sure everything is on video.." Elle said and Damien nodded. "You are going on with the wedding?" A familiar voice asked angrily and Damien needed no soothsayer to tell him that it was Jason talking. "I''ll call you when I''ming.." He said and hung up. "I hope it doesn''t cause a fight between them.." He said and walked out. ELLE''S MANSION. ELLE''S BEDROOM. "Seriously Elle, you are going on with the wedding even when I asked you not to? You even promised me not to go through with the wedding.." He yelled and Elle sighed. "Jason; listen. It''s actually.." "It''s actually what? You are being disobedient right now? What if you get harm or injured in the process?" He asked and Elle sighed. Elle walked up to him and held his hands. "Sugar, I understand where you areing from but then there are some things we need to do for the truth toe out. Jason, my parents died. Their reputation was ruined and tarnished. My baby almost died and because I inhaled so much smoke from the fire, she became asmathic. Jason, James killed Mamita''s second daughter Danielle. I just had to use her identity and worse, they killed your mum. There are some things we just need to risk for the truth to be prevailed. ''My point is, can''t we reveal this in another way apart from using the wedding facade?" He asked. Elle released his hands. "You clearly don''t understand.." She said. "No, you are the one not understanding.." He said. "You know what I''m leaving. Just think things through¡­" He said and walked away. "Jason.." She called and then fell on the bed. "I knew he would get angry that''s why I didn''t want him to find out.." She sighed and ran her hands into her hair. ** Lauren smiled happily and sat on the bed. Ever since she got the text from Deborah. Her mind has been at peace. Though she wants to her daughter but at least her safety is guaranteed. She stood up and walked to the mirror. A ster was stered on the wound on her head. Her neck was wrapped with bandage since she didn''t want Tyson to notice anything. Her lips were still bruised. She smirked. "Even if these are the price I have to pay for my secret. I would a million times. I don''t care but I will make sure my children has a lot of shares in their father''s business. Nothing is going to stop that except.. She paused and clenched her fists. Except Jason. The real, legitimate and only son of James Madison. She couldn''t let that happen. She had to get rid of him. Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Daddy, please help me! Getting rid of him is the only way she could secure her children''s future but then she has to do it clean. So no one would be suspicious but then she had to also found out how much she knows about her. She was sure he knew something but she didn''t know what. She picked up her phone and dailed a number. "Yes ma''am.." The thick voice boomed. "Joel, I have a job for you.." She said. "What is it ma''am?" He asked. "I want you to follow up my eldest son Jason, make sure to take note of everything he is doing and then report back to me.." She says and then hung up. "Finally, I''ll get to know what you are up to.." She said and smirked. "But don''t worry, you will soon go and meet your mum in the hell that she is in.." Sheughed evily and clenched her fists. LATER. Elle and Tyson walked hand in hand to the dressing mall. They were to test their wedding dresses today. ''You look more slimmer Elle.." Tyson said and she smiled. "Of course, I had to go on diet so the wedding dress would fit me. I wouldn''t want to look like a chubby bride.." She rolled her eyes and Tysonughed. "Whether you are chubby or slim, you are still the most beautifuldy in the world in my eyes.." Tyson said and she blushed. "Awwn, babe. You are so romantic.." She said caressing his cheeks and he smiled. "Ma''am, sir, this way please.." Ady led and they followed thedy smiling. They got to another room where wedding gowns and suits where disyed. She led them to a seat and they sat. Soon anotherdy came out. "Wee Sir Tyson and Miss Elle, your dresses are ready. And I designed it exactly this way you wanted Miss Elle.." She smiled and Elle nodded. "So who among you wants to go first?" She asked. "Well, I think my fiancee should go first or what do you think babe?" She asked Tyson. "Since you are insisting, I''ll go first.." He kissed her forehead while thedy watched them, smiling. "Let''s go.." He said and she led the way. Elle immediately brought out her other phone. She dailed Jason''s number. It rang on for some seconds but he didn''t answer it. Elle sighed and bit her lower lip. "Guess he''s still angry with me.." She said. "I miss him. But what do I do?" She asked and then she wrote a text to him. ~Sugar, I''m sorry. I promise to never keep things from you again. I miss you. Please forgive your Asanel. I love you~ She clicked send and sighed. Just then Tyson came put dressed in his suit, Elle faked a smile and hurriedly tried to put the phone back in the bag but it fell on the ground. Her eyes widened and her heart skipped. She stood up and rushed to get it but Tyson did first. Her heart started racing like crazy. "Babe, you got a new phone?" He asked and she swallowed hard. "Yeah. I just decided to try out the new model that came out.." She said hoping. The phone would not turn on because it was Kiera pic on her wallpaper. If it does, she knows she''s doomed already. "It looks good actually.." He said and gave the phone back to her. Elle heaved a sigh of relief. She immediately slipped it into her bag. "So how do I look babe?" He winked at her and she smiled. "You look dashing babe.." She walked to him, then hung her hands round his neck. "I''m really lucky to have such an handsome boyfriend.." She smiled and pecked him. "Now I have to go check out mine. Let''s see.." She smiled again and removed her hands from his neck. She took her bag and followed thedy. Minutester, she came out looking very beautiful in the wedding gown. It was an off shoulder gown. The front of the gown wasted beautifully and pearls were adorned all over the gown making it twinkle. "Wow! It''s so beautiful.." Tyson said and she smiled. ''Honestly I can''t wait for these two weeks to be over. Very soon, you would be my wife. Mrs Tyson Madison.." Tyson said and Elle scoffed inwardly. "In your pathetic dreams.." She thought but smiled anyways. Tyson''s phone immediately rang and he answered it. "What? I''ll be on my way then.." He said and then hung up. "Babe, I have to go now. There is an emergency board meeting.." He said. "I need to change this.." He said and walked away with thedy. Elle smirked immediately he left. ''I still have another surprise for you my darling fiancee.." She said. Few minutester. Tyson already left. Elle came out already changed and grabbed her bag, she walked to thedy and smiled. "I have another suggestion for the wedding gown.." "What''s that ma''am? Don''t you like it?'' She asked and Elle smiled. "I loved it but please do me this favour.." She said and smirked inwardly. *** Jason got down from the car. As he walked to his office, he ignored even the greetings. He kicked the door opened and walked in. "I told her not to go through with the wedding but she''s still disobedient. He picked up his phone and saw she called him almost 20 times. He scoffed and then he saw her message. As he read it, he smiled unconsciously. "Wait, I''m mad at her right. I should not smile. Keep a straight face Jason.." He reprimanded himself. His phone rang and this time it was Kiera calling. He answered the call immediately. "My little princess¡­" "Daddy, I can''t take this anymore¡­" Her cries could be heard on the phone. "Wait? What happened? Why are you crying?" Jason asked worriedly. "Daddy.." She cried harder. "Pleasee home. Please.." She cried and then hung up. "Hello, princess.." He said and then he felt fear immediately. He hurriedly grabbed his car keys. "I hope she''s fine.." He muttered and just as he was about to rush out, his secretary walked in. "Sir.." "Later.." He said and ran off. His secretary sighed.

Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Chapter 93 The new evidence Jason got into his car and drove off immediately. He dalied Elle''s number as he did but she was not picking up. Then he dalied Kiera''s number but it was still the same. "Shit!" He groaned and drove at a more faster speed. After driving for some minutes, he noticed a ck van following him. He furrowed his brows and then smirked. "What the hell is going on here?" He asked himself and just then, he took a u turn and drove to another direction. Then he began driving at an incredibly high speed. He smirked as he did so then turned back and smiled when he saw that the car was not behind him anymore. He took his phone and dailed Elle''s number again but she was not picking up. "Gosh! Why is she not picking up at this crucial moment.." He said and hastened his speed. "I need to find out who was stalking me. Could it be dad or mum? Tyson?'' He groaned and roughed his hair. Few minutester. He arrived at the mansion and ran in. The living room was empty and he sighed. He walked upstairs and immediately opened Kiera''s room. The room was dark and he turned off the lights. The room was decorated with flowers and a poster of I''m sorry was stered on the wall. Jason sighed and ran his hands into his hair. Kiera came out holding a balloon of I''m worry and Jason smiled.

During the past two weeks, Jason had been pretending and doing everything he can to get on James''s good side. Even if Lauren was a pain in the ass, she tried all she could to get Jason out of the way but she could not. Elle began to suspect that she had another secret she was hiding but does not want it to be revealed. Elle fell on the bed and sighed. Kiera opened the door and walked in with a teddy bear in her arms. "Mummy.." She called and ran into her mum''s embrace. Elle kissed her neck and she began giggling and they fell to the bedughing together. ** DAMIEN''S MANSION. Damien wore a sad look on his face as Deborah dragged down her luggage. She sighed sadly when she got to him. "Thank you for everything Dam. I really appreciate your help for the past two weeks and I''m grateful. But I guess, it is time for me to go already. Jason insisted I go back to the states. He even informed our parents already. I''m sorry this is how it had to end.." She said and wiped off the tears that fell off her eyes. "Take care and stay safe always. Don''t get hurt.." She added and hugged him lightly. He didn''t even reciprocate the hug. Deborah sighed and broke the hug. "I have to go now. My driver is here.." She faked a smile which he never returned. She then turned to leave, tears falling off her eyes but then he hugged her from behind. "Please don''t go, just stay with me please.." He said in a hoarse voice and Deb bit her lower lip. "I''m sorry but.." She couldn''t evenplete her statement when he grabbed her shoulders and turned her to face him swiftly. "Wait, I have something to say before you go.." He said and Deborah sighed. She looked down and then looked up at him. "I love you!" They both said simultaneously. "What.." Damien couldn''tplete his statement. "I know you love me but you kept on iming it as brotherly love. I just.." She paused. "I''m sorry.." She couldn''t even turn to leave when he hugged her tightly like she was his airbag. "Please don''t go. Please don''t. I love you very much. I can''t deny it any longer. I might just go insane if you leave me all alone. I lost my first love and I can''t loose you too. Please, don''t go. Just stay for my sake. You love me too right?" He asked and pulled away from the hug. Deborah smiled slightly and then cupped his cheeks. She then stood on her toes and gave him a quick peck on his lips. "I love you. A lot.." She whispered. Damien grabbed hee waist and then kissed her more harder this time. Both their eyes went shut as they reciprocated to the kiss deeply. She smiled into the kiss and her hands went up to his hair, massaging the scalp softly as the kiss deepened. All of a sudden, Damien immediately broke the kiss. He rubbed her lower lip with his thumb. "Are you still going to leave?" He asked and she smiled. She pulled him into another embrace and then smirked. "I wasn''t actually leaving. I was just pranking you.." She said and he broke the hug surprised. "What?!" He eximed and she giggled. "I caught you right?" She winked, smiling cutely as she tucked her hair behind her ear. "I still don''t understand.." Damien said. "I actually nned everything with Elle. She told me that you would confess your feelings very soon but she doesn''t know what''s holdomg you back. That''s when she nned everything with my bro, she even kept him in the dark since he doesn''t joke with his sister. "What? You guys.." He paused and they bothughed. "You are really crazy, this little brat.." He said and she hugged him. "Finally.." She smiled hugging him tighter. Damien smiled also, caressing her hair. "My heart almost went. I thought you were leaving me. Don''t do this again.." He said and she nodded. "I won''t but first. We have to ask for my brother''s permission before we take this rtionship further..'' She said and broke the hug. "But can''t we wait for some time?" Damien said and she held his hands. "I can understand you are nervous. But my brother doesn''t bite.

She said and sat beside him. Then she grabbed his arm. Damien sighed and released Deborah''s hand. "Jason, I love your sister.." He said and Jason scoffed. "What?" He said and stood up. "Yeah, I love her very much. I''ve been hiding this for quite a long time but I can not anymore. We are officially in a rtionship but she wants to get your approval first.." Damien said and Jason sighed and pokked at Deborah, who blinked at him cutely. "Deb, aren''t you quite too.." "I''ll be twenty one in few months time. I''m not.." She pouted and he sighed. He walked up to Damien with an expressionless look. Suddenly he smiled and hugged him. "I trust you but take care of my sister. If you hurt her, I''ll definitely deal with you.." He said and broke the hug. Damien nodded. "I know my sister loves you and she''s still my fragile baby. So please take care of her.." Jason said and Damien nodded. "I promise not to hurt her.

She says and he gasped again and hugged her. Deborah stiffened at first but then she weed the hug. "I missed you a lot. Where did you go? Where were you? Did you know how worried we were?" He asked and then broke the hug. "I just needed some time off and I''m d I got it.." She said. "I decided toe back for your wedding which is tomorrow.." She said. "Mum, Dad, Deborah is here!" Jason yelled and immediately footsteps were heard. They both ran out like a sh and their eyes widened when they saw her. ''Deborah.." Lauren whispered. It was like a dream for her. She could not believe her daughter was standing in front of her hale and hearty. She just could not believe it. James smiled happily. They both walked to her and they hugged her tightly. "My baby, where have you been? We were so worried.." Lauren said after breaking thr hug. "I''m fine mom. I just needed some peace of mind. That''s why I went out for a bit but now I''m back. I''m finally back mum.." He said and James caressed her hair. "Where did you stay? At which friend''s house?" James asked. "It was a very special friend of mine.." She smiled and they both dragged in. "Come in.." She said and Deborah faked a smile. But she would not deny that she missed them greatly and being in their arms really felt good but just that they had a w and that''s being criminals. Her parents were criminals and her brother is following in their footsteps. "What do you want to eat? I will prepare the food myself" Lauren said and Deborah looked at them all. Probably by this time tomorrow, they would both be cooling their asses in jail. Her sweet family was nothing but an illusion. It was nothing but a facade that woulde to an end soon. Deborah stood up and hugged her mum first and then her dad, then Tyson. "Hey, what''s going on?" Tyson asked and she smiled. "I just missed you all. I missed you a lot.." She smiled out tears and Lauren wiped it off "There is no need for the tears again. You are with us again and we are very d.

"Good say ma''am.." He says. "I hope you have some good news for me.." She said and blew air on her nail that was already polished.

Her first daughter died since a long time. So is that news you have for me?!" She snarled at him. "No, no, ma''am. You are getting all wrong. Her first daughter died. Yeah. Her second daughter also died too.." He said and Giselle''s eyes widened. "What? What are you saying? Her second daughter is Danielle Browns and she is very much alive. I saw just a few days ago. So what are tou talking about?'' She asked. "She''s not the real Danielle Brown, Danielle Brown died eight years ago.." He said and her nail polish from her hand to the ground. She gasped. "Oh my Gosh! What''s this?" She asked no one in particr. "I found our through a close source but they wouldn''t disclose more than that.." He said and she scoffed. "Are you serious? She''s the fake Danielle Browns. But how? How did it happen? Did she do stic surgery and change her face to be that. But why? Has Laura not found out that her daughter is an imposter. Gosh! This is confusing.." She said and ran her hands into her hair. "Ma''am, I''ll send you the old pictures of Danielle Brown and the news ones. They are quite some differences between them.."

She said with a clenched fists and then her phone beeped. She immediately took it and checked out the pictures. At first she couldn''t spot the difference because they really looked alike. But then she noticed their eyes, the new Danielle had a Cat shaped eyes but the old one didn''t. Aside that she could not notice any difference between them again. "Is this enough proof that she is an imposter. Not the real Danielle. I think I''m going to crash her bridal shower this night. I will reveal the truth to everyone present there and watch her get embarrassed. She also yed me for a fool when she snatched my fiancee from me and then engaged with my ex brother inw. She is a cunningdy. I knew from the start that she never liked Tyson. She was only using him for her selfish gains. She has noticed that she liked Jason right from the start. She was only just pretending to cover it up. Now that she knows her true identity, she now knows that she has something up her sleeves, that''s why she''s also getting married to Tyson. Her intentions were never pure from the start. "I will make sure I reveal your bare face to the Madisons.." Giselle said with a re.

Lauren wasing over and she had to pretend to drink and y with her but she would make sure to spike her drink and make her sleep off. The door bell rang and Laura opened the door. She faked a smile when she saw it was Lauren and Deborah. They were both beautifully dressed and adorned with jewelries. "Pleasee in.." She ushered them in. TWENTY MINUTES LATER. "Woah! Tonight is a great night!" Drunk Lauren yelled and Elle smiled. She looked at Laura and winked at her. Soon she fell on the bed and slept off snoring. Both Elle and Laura stuck hands together. They covered her with the duvet and turned off the lights and they walked out. As they came out, they met up with Damien who wasing in with Deborah, holding hands. "Woah! Lovebirds¡­" Elle smiled. "Elle, Jason just called. He said everything us set. Tyson is already dead drunk.." Damien said and Elle laughed. Her eyes went to Deborah and she saw the gloomy look on her face. She sighed. "Deb, I''m sorry. I know this will hurt because they are family members but I''m really sorry¡­" She said and Deborah sighed. "I understand. I just hope when all these is over, they will understand the gravity of what they have done and change for the better. I really want them to change.." She said and they all nodded. Elle walked up to her and hugged her. "Thanks a lot for understanding and thanks again for loving my best friend. I promise that when all these is over, we all find peace with what we do.."

He scoffed and adjusted his clothes. "Elle, I can''t wait. We are getting married tomorrow.." He said drunkenly and Jason smiled. "Getting married my foot. You can''t get married to my future wife. I''m sorry Tyson but tomorrow will be the worst day of your life. I''m sorry you are the victim.." He said and touched his hair. By now, Tyson was already sound asleep, snoring. He then walked out. As soon as he came out, he saw Elle dressed in a ck hoodie and ck joggers. Her hair was packed into a ponytail and she wore a face cap. Damien was also behind her dressed in all ck. The both of them were dragging James to his room. Obviously, his drink was spiked with the truth serum. He looked at him and at that instant, he felt great pity for him. No matter what happens, James remains his father, his flesh and blood. His heart still ached for him. But then he remembered when he confessed about killing his mum to be with that witch. He cheated on his mum also while she was still alive. He closed his eyes and clenched his fists and then he opened them. He smiled and walked towards them. "How about the maids and the guards?" He asked. "Damien knocked some of them out and the others drank the sedated juice, so they are all unconscious.." Elle said. "We also turned off the CCTV cameras so everything we would do today will be clean.." Damien added and he nodded. JAMES''S ROOM. James was seated on a chair, his head thrown backwards. Elle was seated in front if him. "James.." She called and he smiled. "Did you kill Mr and Mrs Anderson, Asanel''s parent?" She asked. James scoffed and smiled. "Of course, I did. They wouldn''t stop meddling in my affairs. Both the wife and the husband found out many hidden things about my business which are meant to be secret. And worse, my son was madly in love with their daughter, I hated that fact. She even had the guts to get pregnant for my son. I had to wipe them all off the surface of the earth including that unborn baby of hers.." He said and Elle clenched her fists tightly. If not for self control, she would have beaten him up so badly. "And why did you tarnish their reputation? They didn''t do anything wrong right?" She further asked and Jamesughed. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. "I had to tarnish their reputation when they didn''t want to stop their investigations. That''s the only thing that could ruin their effort¡­" He said and she scoffed as tears ran down her eyes. "So what exactly is the secret business?" Elle further asked. "Come on, we do all kinds of jobs. Drug trafficking, child and human trafficking. Selling of illegal firearms.." He said. "And what about your wife? Jason''s mum? Why did you kill her?" James scoffed when he heard that. "I loved her. I loved her a lot but then we began having arguments. I met Lauren and she supported me, we started a rtionship and she got pregnant. Things got worse when she found out about all the illegal businesses I had and she threatened to rat me out, I had to silence her. I killed her finally and got married to Lauren and brought our two kids home.." He narrated and Jason wiped off the tears off his eyes. Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Wedding day 1 Elle stood up and wiped off the tears off her eyes. "It''s all done.." She said and Damien stopped the video. She sighed and walked up to Jason and then hugged him. "Every thing is over now.." She said and he hugged her more tighter, tears falling freely from his eyes. "Mum. Mum.." He cried and Elle caressed his hair. "Jason, you will avenge your mum''s death now. Stop crying and being sad. Your mum won''t like it.." She said and broke the hug. She smiled and wiped off the tears off his eyes. "Sssh it. I know you miss her very much. I miss my parents too. It''s understandable but I''m still d we were still able to avenge their deaths.." She said and he nodded. She smiled and kissed his forehead. "Let''s quickly wrap things up.." Damien said and they both nodded. THE NEXT DAY Tyson groaned and opened his eyes. He held his head as he sat up. His head was aching badly. His eyes widened when he remembered that today was his wedding day. He immediately sprang up. "Shit!" He groaned and dashed into the bathroom. MASTER''S BEDROOM. Both Lauren and James sat down holding their heads. They were both in their bathrobe. Lauren came in not quite long and woke James up. They both had their baths but they still had some hangovers. Even the maids and guards were not left out, they were all weak but they dare not show it to their employers. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. There was a knock on the door and Lauren went to get it. It was the maid. She was holding a tray with a te of soup good for curing a hangover. Lauren collected the tray from her and closed the door. "Hun, here is the hangover soup.." She said and he sighed. "We all let our guards down since it''s our son''s wedding today but well, today is our lucky day. Once Tyson gets married to Elle, all her properties automatically be his and it bes hers also. We will get more richer.." James said and they both smiled. ** Tyson was wearing the jacket of his suits when the door opened and three guys walked in. He smiled when he saw them and they hugged. They were all in suits too. "Tyson, you are the man.." One of them called Jerry said. "Yeah, I can''t believe you are getting married to thedy you screamed off. It still feels like yesterday when you both met in a bar.." Another one Dave said and Tyson smiled. "I''m angry at you all. You didn''t show up at my bachelor''s party. I had to party with my dad and boring brothers. And it''s not like I don''t have friends.." He said and the third guy Timothy tapped his shoulders. "We are sorry. You know we were busy throughout the week. Even Dave had to fly to the country today. We are really sorry.." He said and Tyson smiled. "It''s fine. I understand.." He said. "You look really hot and handsome.." Dave said. "Of course, I''m the man of the day, I have to look handsome.." He said and they allughed. "We should start getting ready to leave¡­"He said and they all walked out. ELLE''S ROOM. The make up artists were done with her makeup. Even her hair was styled already. She smiled and looked at the ring on her finger. "Today you will be leaving my finger.." She said and just then Laura walked in. "Are you ready sweetheart?" She asked and Elle smiled. "I''m more than ready. Today is the day I will avenge my parents and I''m d it''s happening today.." She said. "Your hardwork paid off my dear.." She said and touched her cheeks. "Now wear your wedding gown.." She said and walked out. *** Few minutester. Elle walked out of the room and all eyes turned to her and they all gasped. She was wearing a golden yellow gown, it was strapless and still had those tiny glittering pearls on it making it twinkle. It was also very long. Her veil which was also golden yellow was long and covered her face. "Wait, is she not wearing a white gown?" "Why is that? But she looks very beautiful in this gown. That''s a fact.." "But, I''m still surprised by what she is wearing.." Lauren smiled and walked up to her. "You look good sweetheart.." She said and Elle smirked. "Mum, I''m a vengeful bride today. I will leave no stones unturned today. The world will know everything that has been hidden ever since.." She said and Laura took her hands. They both walked out. CHURCH. The groom and the guests had already arrived at the church. Some reporters were allowed in. Tyson and his friends stood at a corner where Tyson was waiting impatiently for his bride. "Dude, you are so impatient.." Dave said and he smiled. "I really can''t wait to get married to her. That''s why I''m like this..'' He said and they all smiled. Just then a car halted. The car''s food opened and Jason came out of the car, looking very handsome in the suit he wore. He faked a smile and walked towards Tyson. "Congrattions.." He stretched his right hand for a handshake. Tyson hesitated at first but he received itter on. "Thanks.." "The best man won.." He added and Jason scoffed. "We will see who will win.." He thought and nodded. ''Is the bride not here already?" He asked and Tyson shrugged. "She''s not. You know women and their excessive dressings.." Tyson said. ''I bet she''s trying to look good for you.." Jason said and he smiled. "Hey guys.." They heard a feminine voice say behind them. They turned back to see Deborah walking to them. She was wearing a purple backless gown with a slit. Her hair was packed into a ponytail and it was curled. It was adorned with pearls. To sum it all, she was looking very beautiful. She got to them and smiled. "Congrats Tyson.." She said and they hugged. "Thanks, Deb. But don''t you think you are dressed excessively?" He asked and she rolled her eyes. "There you go again. I''m not a kid again. I''m twenty years old. Why do you and Jason always let me remind you every time.." She said and scoffed. "Wow! Your sister looks very pretty. She''s totally my type.." Dave said and both Tyson and Jason red at him. "No need for that. I''m taken already. I have a boyfriend.." She blurted out and when she realised she gasped and covered her mouth with her right palm. "Miss, may I ask what you meant by that?" Tyson asked immediately. "Actually, Tyson I.." She was about to speak when they heard a some noise. "The bride is here¡­" "She''s looking very beautiful even if I can only see her face" "Gosh!" James and Lauren walked towards Tyson and the others. "Kids, let''s go in. The wedding is starting soon.." Lauren said and they all walked in, including the guests. The wedding ceremony finally started. Soon it was time for the bride toe in. Elle smiled as she walked in with Laura, a soft music was ying. Everyone gasped again as she came in. Even those watching through the live broadcast were not left out. They were all surprised with the gown she wore. Most brides would settle for white gown. Even Tyson, James and Lauren were surprised too but Tyson smiled. Lauren was obviously displeased. "What''s she wearing? Brides wear white gowns on their wedding day, What is with her?'' Lauren rolled her eyes. "That doesn''t matter. Whether she wears ck, blue or red gown, I don''t give a damn. As long as she gets married to our son, that''s what matters.." He said and she scoffed. They got to Tyson and Tyson pecked Laura and took Elle''s hand in his. They both smiled at each other. "Are you surprised with what I''m wearing?" She asked and he took her right hand and kissed it. "I''m surprised but all that matters is that you are marrying me. We are getting married and I''m the happiest person in this world today.." He said and Elle smiled. "Me too.." She said and they walked to the priest. The priest started the solemnization of their marriage. Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Wedding day 2 Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org. "Dearly beloved, we are all gathered here to witness the solemnization of holy matrimony of Danielle Browns and Tyson Madison.

Both Elle and Tyson were staring at each other holding hands. "Okay so we move on.

"So do you Danielle Browns take Tyson Madison to be yourwfully wedded wife to have, to obey and love for the rest of your days?" Elle slowly looked at the crowd and then at Tyson. She went mute for a minute and people started murmuring amongst themselves. Tyson''s heart started to race madly. He was suddenly scared. Suddenly she smiled. "Yes, I do. I really do.." She said and Tyson smiled. It was time to exchange the rings. Tyson took the ring "I give this ring to you as the proof of our evesting love. I will always love and cherish you.." He said and slipped the ring on for hee. Elle looked back and saw that Jason was no longer in the congregation. She smiled but she was starting to get scared.

She asked Jason who smiled. "Of course not. I just had to tell him the reality and he should stop sticking to the past. If he does not get it now, he might get obsessed.." He said and she nodded. "Let''s get you treated.." She said. An hourter. JAIL. Lauren sat in one corner of the prison thinking hard of her life. She was now regretting. Now her children would be caught up in the mess that she created. Tears ran down her eyes and she sniffed. "Madsion, you have a visitor.." The warden said and opened the jail for her. She walked out and walked to the table. Tears ran down her eyes when she saw Tyson in front of her. "Tyson.." She whispered in tears. She tried to touch him but he moved backwards. "Mum, I never said anything when you guys showed me your illegal businesses. Infact I supported you because I loved you guys despite it being wrong. But you killed! You guys killed! You killed Elle''s parents and you killed Jason''s mum. How could you?" He said with tears running down his cheeks. Lauren started crying again. "I''m sorry son. I''m sorry. Greed blinded me. I loved money and power so much that I didn''t what was right. I''m sorry.." She sniffed in tears. "Sorry can''t bring back anything mum. I''m ruined. I''m damaged.

He snapped at her and she continued crying. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . "Elle might have loved me if you were not my parents. If you were not heartless! And worse , I''m not dad''s son.

Mum, I really regret that you are my mum. I really regret it!" He yelled and she continued crying. ''I''m sorry, I''m sorry.." Was all she could say. "But i love you a lot, that''s why i did this. I love you guys very much.." She said and Tyson scoffed. "No, you don''t love me. You never loved me. You only loved yourself. You are selfish!" He yelled and walked away and she fell to the ground crying. "Time is up Madison!" The warden said and led her back to her cell. She sat down still brooding. That was when she heard people fighting. "I''m the boss here. You shouldn''te and act like you are the boss!" A fat woman yelled. The other woman who was not fat but plump scoffed. "I''m the boss here. I got here before you!" She snarled at thedy. Lauren sighed and coveted her ears. She wanted peace to reflect on her life and everything that had happened to her but that was not going to happen anytime soon. "Please, stop yelling and making noise. I need peace.." She said and they turned to her. "What did you just say?" The fat one asked. "I''m sorry but i meant no harm. I just need some time to reflect on my actions so please, stop making noise.." The first one said and she immediately grabbed her by her cheek and the other hand dragged her up "We are the boss here so learn to respect all what we tell you. Don''t act smart with us!" She snapped at her and pped Lauren on the face. The other one also pped her too and her lip got bruised in the process. They dragged her by hair and continued beating her as she cried out in pain, then the other woman flipped her over hardly on the ground and she continued groaning in pain.

"We still need to talk to Tyson, I really want to apologise to him. I never really felt guilty all those times but I feel really guilty now and I can''t hide it. I just want to get this burden from my mind.." She said and he nodded. He kissed her lightly and she hit him. "Stop it!" She giggled.

She said and Katrina smiled. "Don''t tell me you are falling for him.." She said and Amber rolled her eyes. "Not again. I''m not. I''m not in for any scandal right now. Remember when I just started to date Michael. The pressure from her fans was too much that I akmost broke up with him then. Bute to think of it, I wish I had broken up with him then..''

But it was real. "Why are you sulking?" She heard someone ask her. She scoffed and looked up at the person. She rolled her eyes when she saw it was Damien. "What do you want?" She asked grudgingly. "I should be asking you that. Why are you even going to stay here? Can''t you rent a hotel or something?" He asked her. "For your Information, My Oppa asked me to stay here with his so called fiancee¡­" She frowned. "You like Jason right?" He asked and she looked at him surprised. "How did you.."

"And I would show you who I am!" He said and she stood up. "What can you do?" She smirked and he scoffed. "I can do more than you can imagine.." "Sunshine.." Deborah called from behind. ''Pinkie..''

Instead it was her voice that was echoing back at her. "Did they really leave home? Maybe Jason took them out?" She said and took out her phone but then the lights turned on and flowers started pouring on her. She gasped. Jason walked towards her and knelt on one knee, then he brought out a ring box. "Asanel, for all these years. You have resided in my heart. I never thought of falling in love with another person aside you. It was only you. Even when people called me mad, foolish in love and others, it was still you. Until you returned into my life as Elle. I fought with myself and my heart not to fall in love with you but I did. I hated myself for it because I did not want to betray Asanel. I never knew Asanel is right in front of me.." He said and they both chuckled. "Finally I have you and my little princess. You filled my life with joy andughter. So I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me Asanel Anderson? Will you be mrs Madison?"

I will kill her and take my grand daughter from her but I have to wait. But there is somebody I need to kill first and I''m going to be doing that tomorrow.." He said and faced Leo. "Can I use some of your men?" He asked and Leo nodded. "Of course you can. But do you want to do it on your own or send the guys to do it?" He asked and James smirked. "Nah, I want to do it on my own. She betrayed me when I showed her nothing but love and kindness. I killed my wife for her and this is how she repaid me. She brought someone else''s kids as mine. That''s so cruel of her. Tomorrow will be herst day in this world.." He said and Leo smiled. "I don''t trust women. That''s why my wife left me. She wanted to take my son along also but I didn''t let her. I loved her so much but she could not get used to my lifestyle. She wanted to leave because she could not take it anymore and I asked her to. She wanted to take my son by all means but I had my guys beat her up and threaten to kill her if she does. She had no other choice than to leave. And every year on his birthday, she showed up but I didn''t let her see him. That was the price she paid for leaving me. Even if i still love her until now, I know she won''te back to me but the mistake you made was killing your wife. You should have just threatened her the way I did or kept her isted far away from everyone so she could not still the truth.." He said and James threw the cigarette remnants on the ground and stepped on it. Then he ran his hands into his hair. "I never meant to kill her. Deep down, I knew I still loved my wife but I was blinded by the lust I had for Lauren and I did what I shouldn''t have done. Jason always suspected me of cheating on his mum since Deborah and Tyson were grown when I married Lauren. I never hid the fact that they were my kids. But then, it was worse that I got married to Lauren on Jason''s mum''s birthday. That was the height of it. My son hated me more than I could imagine and I''m sure he hates me more now. But I will make him love me, after all these, I will take my son and grand daughter far away from this mess, this country and leave a peaceful life with them.." He said. "And what about Giselle? The girl who promised to help you in return of marrying your son?" Leo asked and James smirked. "Her?" "She''s a fool. I''m just using her. When I''m done achieving my mission. I will get rid of her. She does not love my son, she is only obsessed with him. I''m sure when she gets married to him, she will kill my grand daughter. I can not entrust them to someone like her. She is just my pawn..'' James answered him and Leo smiled. "I heard Lauren is in the hospital. She was severely beaten by her inmates and was rushed to the hospital. Her condition was quite critical but she is okay now but then her spinal cord was broken in the process so she cannot use her legs for now.." Leo said and James smiled widely. "That would make my n more easier for me. Her death is going to be very painful. That would be my last gift to her.." He said with a devilish look on his face. ** Amber sighed for the umpteenth time as she checked her wristwatch. "Is he noting again?" She thought sadly and bit hee lower lip. She drank from the juice she ordered earlier and then sighed. "I don''t think he''sing but why am I sad? What we had between us was just a fling! It was nothing serious, not even amitment and you both agreed to stay as friends. So what the hell is wrong with me?" She asked herself. She remembered Katrina''s words. "Were you truly in love with Michael, or was it just a Crush? You know how you fangirled over him. He noticed you when you yed a supporting role in one of his hit movies.
