Alessandra plans to seduce and possess Caleb. She loved the man very much since they were children. Alessandra would not allow Caleb to marry his fiance, so one night she thought of breaking into Caleb's room. Alessandra successfully carried out her plan. She surrendered her virginity to the man she loved. But she was so surprised the next day when she realized that the man next to the bed was not Caleb, but his arrogant half-brother, Cade! And to make matters worse, Cade is her mortal enemy!
"Father, where are we going?" Alessandra, who was just ten years old at the time, asked her father Benjamin.
The man cast a glance in the direction of his daughter before returning his attention to the road.
Before responding to his daughter, he inhaled deeply and paused for a moment. "Sandy, we are going to the city. A long journey from this village." He uttered his words in a feeble and halting manner.
Benjamin was unable to hold back the tears that were welling up in his eyes.
"But, daddy, why are you crying?" There was a concern in her tone.
Benjamin Robbins did not respond and instead continued to drive his car without stopping. However, just a few minutes later, he can't help but start crying.
"Alessandra, I'm sorry. Please forgive me your father,"
"Huh?"
Benjamin reached for his daughter's little hands and grabbed them. "Because from now on, you won't have a complete family anymore. Your mother left us and went to live with another man. I don't want to lie to you in any way, honey. But, your mother ended up living with a rich man. And there is no way she will return," His voice trembled
Even though Alessandra did not have a complete comprehension of what was happening, it appeared as though her tears had a mind of their own and were able to fall freely from her eyes.
"W-What? Did mother leave us? But she loves us... right?"
"I'm sorry, Sandy, but I can't answer that question. But, the only thing I can confirm is that going forward, it will just be the two of us. We are going to live quite far away from this town. We will put this unfortunate event in the past, and from this day forward, you can count on me as both your mother and your father. Forgive me, Sandy. I can't give you a complete family anymore,"
Alessandra curled her bottom lip and gave her father a tight hug. "I... I understand, dad. I'll always be with you. I'm not going to leave you, dad. Never,"
"I love you, Sandy. You are my little princess, my baby. You are the only person I have in my life, and the thought of losing you would be too much for me to take. I'll do everything in my power to make your life better and provide you with a promising future," The expression of anxiety and worry could be seen on Benjamin's face.
"That won't happen, dad. I will never leave you like what mom did. I love you too, daddy." Sandy said with a smile, but it quickly vanished as she saw something in the road.
"Sandy? Why? Is there any problem?"
"What do you think of my academics, dad? My friends?" Alessandra sighed.
"Once we go to the city, Sandy, you will find it easy to meet new people and form new friendships. And you are going to transfer to a new school. There are more kids like your age. You will expand your circle of acquaintances." The way he is speaking to her is reassuring.
Benjamin revived the car's engine. They had put in a lot of miles by the time they spotted something not too distant from them.
"What's that dad?" Alessandra pointed in the direction of something that was a few meters away from them.
Benjamin did not respond and simply continued driving without stopping. When they arrived at the exact spot, there was a car there, and it appeared like there was some kind of ruckus going on.
"Sandy, I need you to stay here regardless of what will happen. Give me just a second to look into it,"
"But dad... don't leave me." The tone of her voice reveals apprehension.
"No, Sandy, I won't leave you, honey. Stay right where you are, I'm going to go check out what's going on." After parking, he got out of the vehicle.
Sandy was there when her father defended an old man from a family who was harassing him while they were in a limousine. The old man is selling strawberries on the side of the busy road.
After a few minutes, the owner of the limousine got out and drove away.
Alessandra had the impression that she needed to go down and ask about what was taking place to satisfy her curiosity about what was happening. She got out of her father's car.
"You have a very nice heart, sir, and I want to thank you for saving me. I really appreciate it." The elderly man is showing respect for her father by bowing to him. The elderly man was not neat looking and appeared disheveled.
Young Alessandra can say that the elderly man has a hard and poor life. His skin is dry and appears to have a rough texture, and his clothes are unclean. He was holding the hands of her father.
Alessandra can notice that her father did not show any sign of being disgusted by contacting their skin.
"Don't even bring it up. I've only done what I consider to be the right thing. Soon it will get dark here. Do you want me to buy all of your strawberries so that you can go back to your home? If you'd like, I can drive you to your place," Her father offered a suggestion.
On the other hand, the elderly man shook his head. "There's no need to bother anymore, I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for me."
Benjamin shrugged his shoulders in response. "Alright. I won't force you. But, it looks like you haven't eaten yet, and there are still a lot of strawberries left. I really hope that this will already be enough to help you," She saw as her father gave the elderly man ten dollar bucks.
"My daughter and I need to go right away. The night is drawing in," After saying his goodbyes, he walked back to his car.
Her father saw her.
The elderly man gave a small nod. "Before you go, there's something I've been meaning to tell you,"
“You need a bride, I need a groom. Why don’t we get married?” Both abandoned at the altar, Elyse decided to tie the knot with the disabled stranger from the venue next door. Pitying his state, she vowed to spoil him once they were married. Little did she know that he was actually a powerful tycoon. Jayden thought Elyse only married him for his money, and planned to divorce her when she was no longer of use to him. But after becoming her husband, he was faced with a new dilemma. “She keeps asking for a divorce, but I don’t want that! What should I do?”
The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
As a simple assistant, messaging the CEO in the dead of night to request shares of adult films was a bold move. Bethany, unsurprisingly, didn't receive any films. However, the CEO responded that, while he had no films to share, he could offer a live demonstration. After a night filled with passion, Bethany was certain she'd lose her job. But instead, her boss proposed, "Marry me. Please consider it." "Mr. Bates, you're kidding me, right?"
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"
