Adhara was completely nervous about what she had done, besides, she feared that her family would scold her for staying in the street all night, and since she didn't have a phone, she didn't know if they had tried to contact her. So, when Adhara got out of the car, she was afraid of being scolded for such a prank that she had never done, not even when she lived alone miles away. Carefully, she knocked on the door when she realized that she did not have her house keys and it was the butler who opened the door.“Miss Adhara, where did you spend the whole night? And those marks?”Embarrassment completely invaded Adhara when the butler, who had basically raised her, pointed out the marks that Jareth had left on her in a moment of extreme pleasure. “I’m sorry to tell you this, but can you help me change before my father sees me like this?”“Go through the service door and give me a few minutes while I get you some clothes.” says John, the butler, and Adhara thanks him.As they had agreed,
Jareth prepared to leave and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he addressed the manager who, with much respect and fear, came running up to the man with a red, murderous look in his eyes.“Where are my people?”“The chauffeur hasn't left since you brought him in and his assistant has been waiting for him since eight o'clock in the morning in the lobby.”“What time is it?”“It's two o'clock in the afternoon.”Jareth curses and quickly leaves, with his assistant running after him, not daring to tell him that they are late for the first time in over five years of being the president of his own company.“I need you to get me someone.”“Who in particular?”“The woman I walked into this hotel with. I want you to find out everything. Even how often she washes her hands. I want it all and I want it by 6:00 p.m. today. His punishment can't go beyond today.” Jareth says in annoyance.As soon as he arrives at the company, everyone moves out of his way when they see the anger in his eyes and
As Adhara took a deep breath preparing for what would undoubtedly be the biggest war in her family, Jareth, smiled looking at the note Adhara had left him. Jareth, had returned to the company with a smile that scared everyone.Someone who wasn't smiling, was smiling for no reason and that made the others anxious. Because, basically, they didn't know how to act. Everyone in the company was waiting for an explosion, while Jareth took out of his pockets what Adhara had dared to leave him. “This is humiliating, but, funny.” he whispers in an icy voice.No one listening to his tone of voice and seeing his murderous look would say that what they were seeing was something amusing to Jareth and it really wasn't. He had been treated like a company man who had been given as payment, less than he earns in a day.“He's going to pay me back.” Jareth whispers as he calls for his secretary who immediately appears almost at the door.“Do you need me, Mr. Every?”“Where is my assistant?”“He mentione
Eda's informant had just arrived at the Simpson property when he heard the dispute. He had infiltrated the security camera footage and that was what Eda was watching in the comfort of her home, with much amusement.Wiggling her wine glass, she was enjoying what she was seeing to the point that her husband was talking to her and she was ignoring him because of how exciting what she was seeing was. Something that worried her husband, who knew the extent of his wife's concern.“What is it that you see that you find so amusing?” asks her husband for the third time and it is at that moment that Eda reacts.“Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I'm watching a new soap opera and it's exciting.” whispers Eda as she gets excited about the future daughter-in-law she sees through the screen.Her husband nods with concern and goes into the shower, while his wife, gets so deep into what she sees, that she feels like she is sitting on the brown furniture in the living room. Adhara is still crying disconsolately an
The news had lowered the temperature in the room by several centigrade degrees. Everything felt icy cold, although Blad Simpson's murderous stare could be likened to the heat of hell itself.“What did you just say?” Blad shouts, as Adhara processes what she just heard.Adhara couldn't deny that she had been hurt by the betrayal, after all, she had been a girl who hadn't received much love from her father and her stepmother had basically had her as a hindrance to her perfect life.So, when a caring man like Blake had approached her and would have given her some warmth, she fell for his charm and imagined a life away from the torments her family had caused her. But, now everything had changed in a drastic way.And her sister's smile, when Blake mentioned her pregnancy, was only proof of how much she was enjoying taking away from her sister, the mate that was meant for her. So, Adhara swallowed hard and pretended not to care, as she rose from her seat.“You don't have to worry about what
The answer had confused the woman who still did not know if she was the daughter-in-law she needed and the worst thing was that, out of anger, she had deactivated the headphones and what she was listening to was now also being heard by her husband, who had been staring at what his wife was seeing.“Adhara, what did you just say?”“I am tired of mistreatment, father. I have always been treated like an unwanted guest, when everything your wife and daughter enjoy, are things my mother left for me, her only daughter.”“Adhara, don't be selfish with your own father.” Blad says.“To you, father, even if you have not been the father I wanted and needed, I cannot deny you anything. But, it is not my obligation to take responsibility for a spoiled girl who knows no shame and a woman who only takes me as something unpleasant that they want to get rid of.” says Adhara firmly“I understand that this was left by your
Night had come and no one had slept well. Blake had left worried that his plan had turned out to be a complete disaster, while Emma realized how lost she was to never have anything to inherit.Her mother, who had only looked at her with a dirty look on her face, was biting her nails as she realized that all the life she had grown accustomed to could be completely gone. The two women had to spend the night in a hotel, while Blad, who didn't know how to talk to his daughter, stayed in the house waiting for the sun to rise.He didn't even know where to start and every time he thought about it, everything became more complicated, because he noticed that he had failed in many ways and the time he had left was not enough to fix everything.The morning came and Adhara left her house to look for a job. She had already had her revenge on her ex-partner by not giving her body and the rest of her life to a person who clearly did not deserve it, so now she had to go on with
Five days laterCarrier paced back and forth, calling her stepdaughter to find out if she was really going to go to the place where she had arranged everything. The trap was supposed to be set days ago, but Adhara had been busy looking for work while her lawyers took care of what her mother had left behind.So, she had missed the appointment with her stepmother and that, had caused Carrier to make a whole show where she even cried saying that she was doing her best to get him to forgive her and Adhara would not accept her apology.So, after so much insistence, Adhara goes to the place where they were to meet and waits for her stepmother dressed as a waitress to appear with a smile that lights up her whole face.'Finally, you're here,' says Carrier with a mischievous grin.“So glad you could make it. I was worried you wouldn't come this time too.” Carrier says and Adhara smiles at the sight of her dressed as a waitress.“I never t
