BREAKING NEWS: Carlos Ronaldo, also known as The Devil, has released a statement regarding the video that went viral online. The Devil denied being the same person in the recording, saying he has never had an intimate relationship with Hailey Mckenzie. The person in the video was said to be someone who looked like him. A doppelganger.

ON ANOTHER BREAKING NEWS: Kyle Wright, the CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation, has announced a business ban against the Mckenzie family. According to Mister Wright’s spokesperson, anyone dealing with the Mckenzies will lose all ties with the Wright Diamond Corporation, including its affiliate companies.

So what exactly have the Mckenzies done against the Wrights? Apparently, Kyle Wright is an investor in Carlos Ronaldo’s new company, The CSK Apparel. Everyone speculated that this was Kyle Wright’s way of reinforcing The Devil because of the videos that had been released. One could say this was Carlos’ Ronaldo and The Wright Family’s declaration of war against the Mckenzies!

“If you don’t take down that video, BNC Media will cancel your contract!” Kyle yelled on the phone, speaking to a blogger that had earned a media spot with the local TV network. “Y-yes, Mister Wright. I will do that,” the blogger replied on the other line. A day after the scandalous video had gone out, Kate, Carlos, and Kyle, together with Oliver, were in the CEO’s office of the Wright Diamond Corporation, controlling the damage Hailey’s short film had done. In one corner of the office, Carlos was also on his mobile, communicating with another famous sports commentator, who also had shared the recording.

“Yes, please do. I don’t know how often I have to say it, but I am not in a relationship with Hailey. I never had!” “Sir, the hackers have confirmed they have taken down the videos from the unknown sites,” Oliver said, also on the phone with their contacts!

Suddenly, Ethan Wright walked into the office, carrying a folder in his hand. He stated, “This is what my men have learned about William. I think he has been neglecting his daughter because of this.”

Giving Carlos the folder, Ethan revealed, “William Mckenzie is having an affair with the mayor’s wife. He probably doesn’t care about his family now.”.

Carlos opened the file with a sigh, muttering, “Doesn’t mean he can’t control Hailey.” “Exactly,” Kyle remarked. “And it doesn’t mean he can’t be held responsible.” “I think it’s pointless to speak to William. I had warned him before, but he never took it seriously,” Carlos said.

“Then,” Ethan suggested. “Let’s release this to the press. This, right here, will end William completely. He will lose all the support he needs.”

Kate’s sniff made Carlos turn to his side. He held her hand, saying, “Kate, I swear. It isn’t me.”

“I heard you,” Kate weakly replied. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Gabin was meant to look like me. He grew his beard and followed my weight closely so he could look like me,” Carlos revealed. “Kate?”

It was because the video did not clearly show the man’s face. It was merely a view from the side, but the features and physique were similar to Carlos.

“You said it was this was the French police? The one who covered for you?” Ethan asked.

“Yes, uncle. He is my double,” Carlos answered. “I could tell by his jaw-lines. I’ve known him for some time now.”

“Have you spoken to him?” Ethan asked.

Carlos replied, shaking his head, “I was not personally in touch with him, but I had called detective Bernard to report the incident, and he said he was going to speak to Gabin about it.”

Seeing Kate still silent, Carlos turned to Ethan and appealed, “Uncle, can I bring Kate with me to Europe? I want to bring her to Gabin.”

“I don’t know,” Ethan said before a hiss left his lips.

“I want to go,” Kate declared. “I want to see him, too. I want to ask him why he did this?!”

She turned to Carlos and added, “And when you go to see William and Hailey, I will go with

you!”

“Kate ”

“I’m done hiding!” She reacted.

“Kate, I don’t know if it is the right thing to do,” Ethan interrupted.

“But I want to go!” Kate retorted. “Give me all the bodyguards I need, dad. This time around, I am not staying on the sidelines, watching Hailey make everyone believe Carlos belongs to him. I have had enough of her!”

“I’m done! I’m done! There is no more patience left for me. Kate repeated. “Even the office looks at me pitifully.”

Kyle and Ethan looked at each other before they gave Carlos their regard. Everyone could see the worry in Carlos’ expression. He earnestly feared Kate would get caught in between his problems. Despite trying to convince her, Kate insisted on what she wanted.

At the end of the argument, Ethan surrendered, saying, “Very well. You’ll have at least four bodyguards following you around and two hiding from a distance.”

Standing up, Kate said, “Let’s go! I want to punch Hailey in the face!” 1

Even before the couple arrived in New York, the media had released footage of William Mckenzie and his affair with the Mayor’s wife. The city mayor tried to block the spread of the images, but Carlos’ hired team of gossipers shared and reposted every news article in many relevant and public groups, exposing the full details affair in less than a day.

There were photos of the two going to the hotel together. Pictures from outside the hotel window, with William and his mistress making out. There were also recorded videos of the two going away on vacation in a private cabin in Canada.

Inside the home of the Mckenzies, Hailey was screaming on the phone, talking to her father. She said, “How could you do this? How could you hurt mother?! Where are you, father? Come home now!”

Behind her, Hailey’s mother was sobbing. Mrs. Mckenzie was hugging her legs from the floor, shocked by what she had found out. She muttered, “Hailey, get me a lawyer now. I want to divorce your father!”

“No! Mother, don’t say that. We can work things out with, dad,” Hailey howled. She could not fathom how everything was going wrong. She cried with her mother, both of them utterly heartbroken. Minutes into letting out their outcries, a maid knocked on Hailey’s room, saying, “Miss, you have a visitor.” “I – I can’t have visitors right now, Vienna -” “It’s Mister Ronaldo,” the maid revealed.

Suddenly, Hailey’s eyes were brighter. She carelessly wiped the wetness on her face. Glancing at her mother, she said, “He is here.” Sniffing her tears, she suggested, “He is probably here to comfort me.”

“I knew he’d be back, mother. I knew it.” Hailey muttered. “He cares for me.” Of course, she knew Carlos would be back for her. The video she released was supposed to lure him back into her arms. Before heading out, she fished for a drug in her purse, one that she and Kendra had recently used.

Kendra was knowledgeable about date drugs, and they had recently tried them a few times on their trip to Paris. She knew the best ones to use this time around.

When she opened the door, she said to the maid, “Prepare a pitcher of juice for Carlos and put this in the mixture. Tell him to wait for me. I just need to take a bath.”

“What’s that, miss?” The maid asked.

“It’s just a supplement,” Hailey replied. “Okay,” said the maid. After freshening up, Hailey left her mother in her room to sulk. Right at that moment, she only cared about seeing Carlos again. She ran downstairs, excited to see him. The first thing she saw was The Devil’s sexy back, facing her. She smiled with tears in her eyes, saying,” Carlos, you are really here. You are back -.” She froze as soon as Carlos turned around, revealing the person that had been in front of him

all along.

Sarah Kate Wright. Her rival in love, the one who stole Carlos away from her.

“You!” Hailey said in irritation. “Yes, me! Bitch!” With one swing, Kate’s fist met Hailey’s nose.
