Chapter: EPILOGUE-The Final EndLucas frowned deeply as Catherine forced him out of the car even though he just wanted to sleep,the weather was burning hot and they both received a message from Alice saying it was urgent.He shut the car door and kept on grumbling under his breath as Catherine opened her door with a key card only for them to meet Landon in the living room.‘What the f—'.‘Guess who's getting married......for the second time'.Alice said excitedly as she exposed the beautiful ring with a huge glistening diamond on it.Catherine shrieked for joy and launched herself at Landon who was lucky enough to catch her before she fell to the ground.She apologized about the Christmas dinner ordeal and he forgave her in a heartbeat.The doorbell rang and the rest of the family came in shortly,they also received the emergency message but seeing Landon paved way for the obvious c

Chapter: Marry me again please??TWO MONTHS LATERIt was a tough battle and since it was a long time the case of Madison O'Brien's murder was opened,the court battle was fierce and Luther's lawyer was one of the best people at his job in the country.However, Stacey's testimony pushed the investigators to look more into the case and they found more than enough evidence to put him behind bars for a long time.Other women who were victims of his abuse began to speak up and this led to another further investigation,his numerous clubs and hotels were just business cover-ups for his underground drug scale business where he dealt with cocaine.He was given a 25-year prison sentence and the rest of the O'Brien family were more than happy to see their son put behind bars when they heard about his crimes.Alice knew he was an addict and an abuser but she never really expected her ex-boyfriend, who she almos

Chapter: The truth (Part 2)A few minutes later Alice wakes up after Lucas Isplashed a little bit of water on her face, disheveled,still in denial of the truth revealed to minutes earlier,angry at how naive she had grown to be and afraid of what was to become.A little part of her still wanted to doubt Stacey's accusations towards her step-sister but it was all coming to place now—the bursts of anger,the coldness passing between the both of them,the huge amounts of money missing from the company's account that she didn't tell anyone else about except Kayla.It was all coming to place now.How did Kayla know she was doubting Landon about the whole secret admirer issue when she didn't even say anything??.‘Are you okay?'.Catherine asked as Alice rubbed a sore part of her neck in frustration.‘Y...yeah..uhhh...where... where is Stacey?'.Alice responded as she glanced around the room only to find Stac

Chapter: The truth Part 1Alice pretended to be asleep when she heard her door slowly creak open and heaved a sigh of relief when Catherine walked in with a perturbed look on her face.‘Is everything okay??'.She asked and Catherine gulped hard.‘I uhhhh....I uhhh....I think you should.....i think you should come outside someone wants to see you'.The quiver in her voice was enough proof to Alice that something was definitely wrong—she was tired—Landon was out of her life already and now there's another problem in her life to deal with.She reluctantly got out of the bed and went down the stairs only to find Stacey at the foot of it with her body shaking vigorously like she had the fever.‘Stacey??'.She called softly and Stacey flinched sharply as she turned around.‘Wh...what is...'’You have to help me,he's

Chapter: Leaving for good (Re-edited)FEW HOURS LATER....Alice blew her nose into the handkerchief handed over to her by Kayla,who was tired of keeping up with the supportive sister act.Landon was finally out of the way and Alice wasn't in the right state of mind which was a perfect opportunity to milk off her.‘I love that man Kayla and I....I can't believe I still do love him'.Alice cried out as she blew her nose again.‘He hurt you multiple times before Alice and he acted like he was a changed man......he isn't a changed man sis and it's time you move on from him'.Kayla muttered and then Willow started crying all of a sudden.Alice wasn't really in the mood but she picked her baby up anyway and patted her on the back so as to make her stop.The crying didn't stop and Kayla decided to take Willow outside for some fresh air just as Catherine walked in.‘Are you—'.‘

Chapter: The Christmas dinnerIt probably wasn't a big deal but Alice still couldn't understand why Landon would hide the letter from his secret admirer—maybe she was overthinking it—maybe she wasn't—maybe she was having a hard time trusting the man she loved—maybe she was just scared of losing him.Well she why wouldn't she trust Landon.He did spend a lot of time redeeming himself and having fears over him cheating on her was beyond dumb.....it was also unacceptable as well.‘Don't ruin this Alice,don't f**king ruin this,you are finally with the man of your dreams and you are going to spend Christmas with him'.She whispered and took a deep breath before going outside.Landon was already asleep and she kissed him on the forehead right after she placed the card right back under his bed,he stirred a little bit but thankfully didn't wake up which was a relief.‘You know you could've

Chapter: The end The news spread like wildfire around the firm on Monday. Evelyn Warner had placed her resignation letter on her table early in the morning just as the other associates arrived and left without another word. It came as a shock and a blow to the community, no one leaves such a prestigious firm in such a manner without a forewarning whatsoever. She came in as quickly and took the firm by storm as she left, the buzz was too juicy and no one focused on their jobs– instead they formed little circles of their own trying to come up with theories as to why Evelyn Warner quit out of the blue. “I heard she was going back to study for a phd”. One of the associates said. “I heard she’s pregnant and quit to raise the baby”. Another added. “I heard she was fired for negligence”. Gretchen tried to fill her own fake rumor in but no one believed her, Evelyn was too important to the firm to be fired on such a whim. Aiden stepped out of the eleva
