She looked unblinkingly at Mary as she tried not to show weakness in front of the woman. Cheyenne scoffed when Ali denied the accusation. "Mom, take a look at the ward. Joe is taking treatment in the VIP ward," she said pointing at the luxurious looking corridor and doors. "How did you get the money to transfer Joe here? Don't bother to hide it, we already know about your disgusting activities." Cheyenne glared at her with disgust that Ali couldn't help but tremble. She was scared that they found out her secret and were going to expose her. "Disgusting activities? The only disgusting things I am seeing right now is the both of you," Emily interrupted furiously, not liking the way Cheyenne's words affected Ali. "I didn't come here to fight words with you Ali," Mary rolled her eyes and showed Ali the photos Jared's men took the previous day. Ali paled on seeing
Joe played with the toy in his hand as Ali fed him his lunch which was a bland porridge. He grimaced everytime he was given a spoonful of the food. "You shouldn't make such a face when eating Joe. Look, I can see wrinkles on your face," Ali's best friend said, pointing to Joe's forehead. She was a journalist who just returned from her vacation in Australia. She wasn't aware about Ali's predicament untill she returned a few hours ago. "Aunty Emily, the food is very bad," Joe complained, even though he opened his mouth to take another spoonful. "That is what convalescent patients take. Eat and don't trouble your sister," Emily lightly scolded. She pointed at Ali, "Your sister already looks like a shrimp worrying over you. So you better get better and grow bigger okay." Joe looked at his sister, his eyes watered. "Hush, don't cry. If not me who would care for you?" Ali asked, as she wiped her brother's face. "You have no one except me, aunt Vivian, Emily, Dr Wood, and yes,
"Has she left yet?" Gerald asked, taking a sip of his liqueur. He was seated in front of the bar counter. "Yes. I asked Nell to send her home," Barry answered, standing a few steps away from Gerald. Gerald stared at the glass in his hand before drinking everything in it. The cup made a loud thud sound as it came in contact with the table. "You seem to be losing your reasoning to pick a random woman who came to your doorstep to serve me," Gerald stared at Barry from the corner of his eyes. "Tell me Barry, do you need a break?" He asked. Barry quickly shook his head, "No. It was a foolish mistake. We couldn't find Lily anywhere and since the girl was a virgin...." "You thought it was safe to be with her. Because I once said, I've never had a virgin huh," Gerald cut him off with a sigh. He poured himself another drink before turning his seat to face Barry. "It's my fault," Barry hung his head low, his face was plastered with guilt. "Why do you keep your head low? Want me to c
Gerald looked at her sorry state, her red eyes and finally her pale lips. His mind seemed to have shut down and as if under a spell he leaned in to kiss her. However, Ali shoved him away and what followed next was a resounding slap. The slap forced Gerald back and he landed on his butt. A look of surprise appeared on his face the same time Ali gasped in horror. The both of them stared at each other in shock, as if not believing what happened between them. Gerald touched his cheek where he could feel the sting from the slap. He stared at Ali without blinking for a few seconds. "You dare to slap me," he asked, looking up at her. Ali's soul had already left her body, as she struggled to stand, her legs were wobbly. She looked down at Dylan and began to apologize. She was terrified, and stared at Gerald with a terror-stricken expression. It felt like the slap wasn't given to Gerald but instead a knife was stabbed into her stomach. "I'm s..so sorry...I didn't...mean to...i..
Gerald's jaw tensed and he gritted his teeth because of what he saw. Ali had walked out of the bathroom, pulling her underwear to cover her ass. He closed his eyes and looked away, and at that moment Ali noticed his presence and a scream erupted from her lips. "Aaaaa! What are you doing here?" She asked, quickly wearing her underwear. Her face became flushed from embarrassment at being caught naked. "Don't be a hypocrite, I have seen all of you," Gerald snorted and turned to face her. His hands were lost inside his pocket, his emotionless eyes glared at Ali, making her shudder and step back. His briefly glanced at her stomach as he remembered Barry's words. "If you are pregnant, it's best you abort it. I don't want a child from a woman of your kind, who stoops so low to sell her body for money," he said heartlessly. Ali looked up at him, surprised at first, that he concluded that she was pregnant but when the rest of his words sank in, her face turned grim He was demeaning her b
Dallia stepped into the room and closed it. Her eyes first stared at the bed, where she had had her first sex. The memories were foggy as she couldn't remember anything other than the pain she felt. Gerald was a complete monster that night, and he didn't even consider that she was untouched until that day. She shook her head to get rid of the dreadful experience. Choosing to move on, she wished to have more peaceful days. But that would only happen if Gerald would listen to what she has to say. She sat down on the sofa to wait for him, but ten minutes later she dozed off. Her body was weak from all the emotional stress she had gone through for the past days. Gerald walked into the club, his stride long and graceful as he made his way directly to his private room. The room was a special bonus given to him as an exclusive member and a generous investor. It was almost like he was the owner. Well in a literal sense he was, and Barry was just the owner in paper. As he walked throu

She got the news that her father and stepmother won the case against her for her late mother's properties. The case has been in court since her mother died as Lucas was dragging it's ownership with her and her brother. The court, granting him ownership proved that there was foul play. Ali was so angry that she saw red. She was ready to go to the court and make a scene, but before she could leave Harriet arrived. "Why are you looking so angry? Did anyone do anything to you?" The older woman inquired, going to stand before Ali. "Yes. Someone took away what belonged to me and my brother. My father and his second wife has stripped us of what is rightfully ours. How do I cater for Joe? How do I buy his medicine? What about emergencies? I am very angry right now," Ali shouted, her heart was in anguish as she didn't expect to lose the case. She had made plans on what to do once she recovers her mother's properties. The thought of Cheyenne and Mary gloating over her misfortune, while t
Gerald picked up his phone and called his assistant, the temperature around him dropping as he enunciated every word over the phone, "Find out everything about that woman who is with Grandma." His jaw clenched and he felt like throwing something. He asked Barry to find her but how did she get to his grandmother? He wondered if she was an enemy. Why else would she approach his grandmother after sleeping with him and now she is chosen to be Martin's wife. "If this is a game, she'd better pray she knows her cards well," he muttered.He couldn't say anything earlier, as Harriet had gotten offended over his attitude towards the girl. Harriet hated anyone offending her guests and this one saved her life, so she is biased towards her. He vowed to dig up every information about her first, before exposing her for who she is, and after that make her disappear. Meanwhile, Harriet fumed all the way to her car. She turned back to grab Ali's hand, and said, "I apologize for Gerald's behavio
