Chapter 167 ASHTON I couldn’t sleep a wink last night, no one in the mansion could. Everyone has been feeling sad over Ashal’s predicament and angry too. Though planning a party was always mother’s favorite pastime, she looks withered as she makes arrangement for our birthday party. It’s almost like
Chapter 166 DEMI My hands tremble as I end the call. A wave of nausea hits me, threatening to make me spill my guts. I bend over with a hand closed over my mouth and the other on my stomach. “Wow.” Liam exclaims, clapping his hands. “That was…beyond impressive. Your
Chapter 165 ASHER “Put it on loud speaker.” I tell Ashton. The house falls silent as he takes the call. “Where is he?” He asks coldly the second he takes the call. “You know I can’t tell you that.” Demi replies. I ball my fists and grit my teeth. That
Chapter 164 ASHTON “Are you sure p> “Yes sir. I ran a deep background check on Ms. Cree and discovered a specific timeframe when she volunteered at a home for the elderly two years ago. The records show that she was particularly fond of one of the patients there. His
Chapter 163 DEMI “Yes, uncle Marcel, I am fine. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just needed a few days to myself. I had a lot of thinking to do. I’m sorry I got you worried p> Anna almost drops the serving tray in her hands when she spots
Chapter 162 ASHTON I had meant to go along with Asher to get Ashley from the station. However, I took a detour along the way to pay Adriana a quick visit. Not only was she in a haste, Adriana was pulling a suitcase and hefting it into a cab. Instinctively,
Chapter 161 DEMI Someone twiddles with the door knob, startling me into dropping Brett’s phone. Quickly, I toss it under the sofa where he had sat while he was in here. Moments later, Mrs. Rollins pokes her head in. At the sight of me, she presses her eyes shut and
Chapter 160 DEMI I wake up at the sound of the door opening. Soft footfalls enter and pick up the tray containing my untouched lunch. I blink awake. “Halle p> She shakes her head. “You’re only making things worse for yourself, Demi. I don’t understand why you just don’t get
Chapter 159 ASHTON I have a sick feeling at the pit of my stomach that tells me everything is about to go horribly wrong in a way we’ve never seen before. It started since I visited Keith’s house without giving him prior notice as I usually do. I honestly was
Chapter 158 ASHAL “Maddie! Oh God.” Trembling, I rush to undo the ropes binding her when father’s voice thunders behind me. “Careful, Ashal. I brought you here to make a point, not to be her knight in shining armor.” He sneers as a thought flash through his mind. “As disturbing
Chapter 157 ASHER It feels strange to realize that the HQ, which used to be my second home, now feels unfamiliar. Formerly, I walked around with a chip on my shoulder, worshipped by every staff and adored by all. Today, as I make my way across the hall to my
Chapter 156 ASHTON “Mr. Rollins, I hope the house is to your liking. If it isn’t, there are a few other options you can check out.” The strange man in casual jeans and shirt tells me. We are standing in the middle of an opulent duplex with a sprawling staircase
Chapter 155 ASHAL “Why are you quiet?” I ask mother with red eyes. She’s sitting up on her bed, with a shawl swaddling her body. I’ve watched her sitting quiet for two days ever since Ashton left the mansion. I think I’ve given her more than enough time to recuperate
Chapter 154 DEMI “Are you really the quad’s sister?” I ask the cheeky lady on the other end of Liam’s phone. For all I know, this could be a hoax, and another scheme by Liam to mess with me. Why would Ashton’s biological sister pine for the destruction of her
Chapter 153 ASHLEY “What the hell are you saying, doctor? How did this happen?” My heart is thudding in my chest as I try to make head and tail of what Nicci’s doctor is saying to me right now. Tears cloud my eyes when he explains Nicci’s sudden sickness and
Chapter 152 DEMI His stare is as daunting as a fist. He looks from Cree to me, a suspicious glint in his eyes. “Cree p> “Hi.” Cree replies with a fake smile, unsure which brother she was talking to. “Fancy meeting you here, Ash She trails off. He intentionally fails
Chapter 151 ASHER I wasn’t prepared for that. I didn’t expect Ashton to make that move or pose the question about our biological parents without running it by the rest of us first. My mouth dries up as the deafening silence in the room wears on. Father is a rare
Chapter 150 DEMI My phone has been ringing off the hook. I dry my eyes, turn it off and chuck it at the far end of the room. Someone raps softly on my door. “Demi? Are you up?” My uncle asks. I dry my eyes and pull my duvet over
Chapter 149 ASHER Hugh Spellman has never looked smugger as he swirls a snifter of brandy in his hand with one leg crossed over the other in our living room. By his side, Liam sits, donning a white, unbranded tee-shirt and jean pants. Like his father, he smirks unabashedly. Mila
Chapter 148 DEMI “Ashton, believe me, I didn’t do it. I know nothing about the recent posts on Billion-Err.” Even while I kept pleading, I completely understand why no one would believe me. “If you didn’t post it and Liam couldn’t have posted it, then you must have another partner
