REIGN

I arrived at my company with anger evident in my eyes because my plan of staying with Cora and making her feel better had been needlessly interrupted.

The company's stocks were plummeting but I was still the highest shareholder by eighty percent and I had the perfect plan to make them rise again after Cora's innocence had been proven. I didn't have to deal with things like this at such a time but my assistant had informed me that unpleasant rumors were flying around the company and to make matters worse, they were coming from the board members. What impudence!

I went into the company and headed straight for the boardroom. My assistant was waiting outside the room with an anxious expression on his face.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw me and he said, "Thank God you're here, sir. The board members are unhappy and Mr. Franklin seems to be the one stirring them and blowing things out of proportion."

I nodded, "interesting."

I opened the door and went inside while my assistant follo

    REIGNI quickly took the elevator down and got into my car. I opened my phone to view the CCTV which was already connected to my phone and the first place I checked was the panic room.I could see Cora, lying on the floor and I could tell that she wasn't conscious. I didn't know what had happened to her but my heart was racing uncontrollably."Calm down, Reign." I told myself as I tried to calm my nerves because I could not afford to act rashly. Cora was locked inside the panic room and the fact that the men were trying to get inside, meant that they were yet to get what they wanted.In order to save her, I had to take all those men out but I also needed to understand what had happened. I took the video back to the beginning and was shocked to see that while I was driving out of the street that led to my house, those men were driving inside.How could I have made such a mistake? I had been so preoccupied with dealing with the troublemakers at my company that I did not notice those men.

    REIGN Just as I ended the call with my dad, I heard footsteps and quickly turned my attention to Cora's bed. I saw her best friend, Emily, walking slowly towards the bed with tears in her eyes."Cora!" She cried as she sat by Cora's bedside and held her hands. "Are you okay?" I asked her.When she turned and saw me, she quickly got up and said, "Mr. Fletcher. I just woke up now and the doctor told me I could find Cora here. I was also told that you called an ambulance for me and Cora. Thank you so much.What happened to my friend? Did those evil men succeed in getting to her? Why is she unconscious?""You should get enough rest," I told her. "The doctor said you took a big blow to the head and as such there's clotting in your brain. Cora was forced to inhale toxic smoke but she's out of danger now. The doctor said she would be awake in no time so, you don't need to worry.There's also no need to thank me. I will always remember what you did for Cora. She is alive because you risked y

    REIGN As Mrs. Gilbert fell, she stared at me in surprise while I pointed a finger at her and warned, "If you ever try to hit Cora again, I will forget your relationship with her father and chop off your hands."The doctors came inside the room to prepare Cora's father for transfer at this point. I helped Emily up from the ground and said in a voice audible enough for everyone to hear, "Mr. Gilbert will be moved to a higher facility to speed up his recovery. Take good care of him until we see him again, Mrs. Gilbert."She nodded while pretending to have been frightened by me. Meanwhile, I held Cora's hand and took her away from her father's body. She reluctantly followed me and after he was transferred, I asked Emily to go back home, sending two men with her for protection and promising to have her car delivered to her.I decided to take Cora back to my main house as I worried that she would be afraid if we had to live on the outskirts again. All through the drive back home, she was q

    Paige took one look at Cora and sighed. She had been following the case involving Cora and it made her remember how someone tried to frame her with illegal drugs when she was young.She felt sorry for her son, who was doing everything possible to support the woman he loved but more than that, she felt sorry for Cora who was accused of a crime she did not commit.She felt like a terrible person each time she recalled how Cora was treated when she first came to her house and when her husband, Zach told her that someone tried to kill Cora, she was shocked to her bones.She was already thinking of a way to help Cora when her son, Reign called and asked her to visit with the family and encourage Cora who was feeling down.Her husband was busy trying to take care of the man who ordered a hit on Cora so she decided not to bother him and called her adopted sister, Paris, and her daughter.They were all happy to help and when they arrived at Reign's house, he disappeared from the living room a

    Lisa drove to the hospital with Olsen's words still ringing in her head. Why would her father try to kill Reign? It did not make any sense.She knew he had grievances toward Reign's parents because they sent him to prison for a crime he did not commit. For years, she struggled with what they did to him and it affected her relationship with Reign but she finally went past it.Why would her father want to take it out on Reign who did not hurt him in any way? She couldn't believe it. Olsen was definitely lying and all she needed was for her father to confirm it.She thought back to the elevator accident. Reign had said it wasn't so serious but after hearing from Olsen, she had asked the employees in the maintenance team about it and one of them said a grenade had been hidden beneath the elevator. It meant someone did try to kill Reign but it couldn't be her father because he was having surgery at the hospital on that day and she was with him.She stopped close to the hospital and turned

    CORAThe hours leading up to my trial day were very busy for me as I had meetings with Olsen and visited my father at the new hospital Reign moved him to.He improved a little and no longer had to be on oxygen which was a source of relief to me.The day of the trial finally came and as we arrived at the court, many cameras were flashed at me by reporters. No one was allowed to get close to me because Reign had hired more than enough men to keep all the reporters away.I walked into the court and the presence of Reign's family caught my attention. His dad, mum, sister and aunt were all present. They stared at me with looks that said, 'You got this' and I smiled gratefully at them.I noticed my best friend, Emily who waved at me as Reign led me to the front. Once I took my seat, Emily came from behind and sat at my back.I turned and smiled at her before turning my attention back to the front. I was optimistic because everything seemed to be in my favor, however, I could not stop rememb

    CORAWith tears in her eyes, Judith began, "Greg was my elder brother. He took care of all of us when our father died. He was just fifteen years old at the time and my younger brother and I didn't have much going for us.My mom's health wasn't good so Greg dropped out of school and funded our education until we graduated college. To us, Greg was everything. I know he wasn't a saint, I know he had his excesses, but he was the best brother and the best son anyone could ever ask for.That is who you took from this world, Cora." When she said the last sentence, her voice was louder and she turned her attention to me as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes."Why did you have to kill him? I want justice. You have to pay for the murder of my brother."She broke down in tears at this point and her mum began to cry loudly too. I could hear sympathetic noises from those in the audience but I did not look away from Judith. I kept staring at her as she cried.The prosecuting counsel reached ou

    CORAHearing the things the prosecuting counsel said about me made me feel very uncomfortable, even though I wasn't hearing them for the first time. I could feel Reign's anger as his muscles tensed and his gaze remained on the prosecutor even after the latter had taken his seat.The judge asked Olsen to proceed and he got up and said, "My client, Miss Cora Gilbert has been insulted, questioned, and even called an immoral woman. Are all of these allegations true? Let us find out.I would first of all like to call the man who is believed to be Cora's husband; Lucas Grey into the witness box."At this point, Lucas came in from outside and began making his way to the witness box. I could not help but wonder what he was going to say.Although there was a plan to expose him if he tried to lie, I genuinely hoped he would tell the truth. However, I knew he would face backlash afterward. He could even be sued by the marriage court if they decided to make an example of him.Once he got to the

    MIRANDA The expression on the faces of everyone turned into shock. Seeing that I looked serious, the lady at the counter said, "Calm down, Ma'am. I will call Mr. Duke right away and inform him."At this point, a man walked up to the counter. From the way he was dressed and the way all the employees at the counter greeted him respectfully, I could tell he was a prominent figure.One of the employees picked up a card from a bunch on the counter and handed it to the man, saying, "Here's an invitation to the boss' launch party tonight. It's mandatory to show up with the invitation, sir."The man smiled and accepted the invitation card, saying, "Thank you, I will surely be at the party."As the man turned and began to walk away, I stared at the heap of cards and thought, "So that arrogant man is throwing a party, huh? I wonder how he would react if I gate crashed it. Would he send me back home just as I want?"I suddenly became excited as I thought about what I could do at the party."I'm

    MIRANDA My so called husband stared at me in shock and scoffed, "What effrontery!""Sammy, what are you still doing?

You must be crazy upstairs, which explains why you can't speak without raising your voice, old man. Pick on someone your own size and news flash, I would be more than happy to leave this place."A few other domestic staff had arrived at this point and they were all staring in surprise. The man looked at me in shock as though he could not believe I was speaking to him.He began to approach me and at this point, one of the domestic staff ran and stood in front of me. She seemed a little older than me and was beautiful too.Sammy tried to speak to him but he pushed him away. I folded my arms, feeling so happy that he wanted me gone. When he got close to me, the girl in front refused to budge. The man stared at her in surprise and it made me wonder who she was."Who the

    MIRANDA I had no idea what was going on there but seeing the look on the faces of my family members, I got an uncomfortable feeling. The woman was about to speak, possibly to explain whatever the hell was going on, however, I did not give her the time to do so.I couldn't go through the back because my mum was right behind me, so, I passed the woman and bolted out the door. I stood outside briefly, and came up with an idea; rather than to Collins, I would run to my cousin's for the time being, until I understood what was going on. I heard footsteps behind me and began to run without looking back."Please, don't abandon us when we need you the most," I heard a familiar voice and stopped.My mom walked up to me and turned me so I could face her. Tears kept falling from her eyes as she cried, "Please, Mira. Go with the woman and do whatever she says. This is the only thing I have ever asked of you.""That's a lie, mom," I replied. "You've asked me to do a lot of things over the years. T

    MIRANDA I stared at Collins' departing figure and thought, "You'll change your mind once I get back, Collins."I continued running to the road to get a cab. I could not stop worrying that something had happened to my dad. My mom didn't seem like the patient when I heard her voice earlier. My elder brother, Sean, was strong and athletic so it could not be him also. This left me with my dad who had poor health from smoking when he was young and becoming hypertensive after we lost my sister. Once I got to the front of my house, I saw my mum pacing up and down. She stared at me in shock when she saw the way I was dressed. I had initially left through the back and planned to return through it because I wasn't allowed to wear such skimpy clothes and with good reason."Why are you dressed like a prostitute?" She asked angrily as she grabbed my arm and tried to wipe off the makeup on my face. She completely ruined it but that was the least of my problems."Mom, what happened?" I asked anxiou

    MIRANDAI stared at my reflection in the mirror and nodded in approval. I looked really sexy in the short, black dress I had on. There was no way Collins would not go crazy if he saw me looking so hot.He had been my boyfriend for three years in high school and now we were both in our first year in the same college. However, he sent a breakup text to me last night.I couldn't find him all day in school but I learned about the party that would take place in his house. Even though I wasn't invited, I intended to gatecrash the party and give him the one thing he had been asking for.My constant refusal over the years was the same reason why he broke up with me but I loved him too much to let him go. If having sex with him was what I had to do to keep him, then I was getting laid tonight. I arrived at Collins' house a few minutes past six and saw that the party was in full swing. His family was well-to-do, so hosting a party such as that was a piece of cake for him, especially when his pa

It was the only way I could convince her that I really loved her.In the days that followed, I was forced to get along with Clay, who also seemed to have become very sad. At some point, I wondered if he genuinely loved Lisa, or if he was just upset that he did not have something to use against me anymore.Thanks to our Granny, we were forced to eat breakfast, lunch, and even dinner together.

I thought I knew him. Even in the short time I met him, I didn't think he could be so selfish. I was so disappointed in him. But I was very happy, too, that Adam was not willing to give me up.For a moment there, I had been scared. As I listened to their conversation, I had thought that Adam would give in to his Granny's request, but he stood his ground. It meant he really loved me. His Granny soon arrived, and I smiled at her.She sat beside me and said, "Lisa, to be very honest, I have nothing against you.
