Lotus sat in her office, staring at the computer screen in front of her. She had a lot of work to do, but her mind was elsewhere. Not wanting to think about it, she drowned herself more into work, signing new deals and contracts. Of course, Davis dropped by earlier to do the little he could before popping down on another company that needed his sweet deals. Honestly, Lotus was glad for him. A part of her felt jealous, though. She was thinking of employing him permanently in her own company, and seeing him share those brilliant ideas with other companies made her feel slightly on the edge.Another reason she wanted to keep him closer was the sweet fact that he made Peter angry. Lotus had noticed on various occasions that Peter lost his cool when she was around him and tended to be overprotective. Really, she felt a pang of guilt for wanting to use David as a pawn to strike a chord in Peter. Why was she thinking about this now that she had made a resolve to move on and act like he didn
The next morning, Peter awoke to the first rays of dawn peering through the curtains, casting a soft glow on his face. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock on his bedside table. It was early yet, but he knew he couldn't waste another moment.He couldn't face Lotus directly, not after what happened last night. He made a mental note to meet George. Peter knew he was up to no good, and Lotus would be set up sooner or later if nothing was done.He had to leave before Lotus woke up, hoping to avoid any unnecessary questions or confrontations. Not that he didn't want to answer them, but the fact that he had to pretend to be someone he was not.Quietly, he tiptoed towards his wardrobe and hastily slipped on his clothes. Peter's heart raced with sadness as he stole glances at her sleeping figure.He must leave, he thought, before his peaceful slumber beside Lotus turned into a storm of emotions that he couldn't hold back. As he neared the door, his heart plummeted, but he willed it to
The whole restaurant was a boozing mess, everyone with their own opinion and already throwing judgments. The internet was packed with posts on different opinions. Obliviously, none held the exact details of what happened. Seeing the scandal cashed by George and the reaction from the crowd, her face flushed with anger as she stood before George. With a swift motion, her hand collided with his cheek in a sharp slap.Gasps rose from those around them as George stumbled back, shocked by her sudden outburst."How dare you, George? How dare you kiss me when you know fully well that I am married, and now you asking me what's it to me?" She stalked closer angrily, unable to control the load of anger she hadn't been able to contain."Your marriage with Peter hasn't been real Lotus. Accept that fact and come back with me. I can clear this all up." He motioned to the watching crowd, a cocky grin that she wanted to wipe away from his face so badly."I can't believe you, George." She muttered lowl
Lotus woke up with a heavy heart, replaying the events that had happened the last few days. The unrelenting sadness consumed her as she took a moment to collect herself before facing the day ahead. Every day since the incident and her disgrace, not just with Peter but everyone in the States, she had always been feeling sad and unable to even think of anything.Her MD messaged, telling her that there was a serious crisis that would befall the company. She couldn't hold her sadness. She has been avoiding the decision for a very long time. Architecture was something she loved doing, and now she was not sure she was willing to give her dream up.She knew that today would be a turning point for her company and for her own future.As she arrived at the office, the once bustling halls were now eerily quiet. Glimpses of her employees could be seen scattered about, their faces etched with worry. Lotus felt a pang of guilt, realizing that not only her life had been destroyed but the lives of p
Peter stumbled into the mansion, his heart pounding in his chest. He had received a call from someone that Lotus had seen leaving the house the night before, he didn't want to believe it. The silence was deafening as he scanned the empty sitting room. his eyes searching desperately for any sign of Lotus. His steps grew heavier with each passing moment, and when he reached their bedroom, his worst fears were confirmed. The closet stood empty, and every trace of her presence had vanished. All bags and clothes belonging to her were also gone.He sank to the floor, his heart racing picking in his chest a growing pain resting there.. He had thought he was protecting her, shielding her from Sheila. But in doing so, he had destroyed the very relation he had a work to protect. The realization was agonizing, and tears welled up in his eyes as he clutched his phone in his trembling hands. Her number was not going through and he wouldn't blame her for doing so.Without hesitation, he dialed Dav
George couldn't believe his ears when he received the news that Lotus had left the state. His mind was still in a state of shock. Anger filled him, it was his fault. All his. It was as if his entire world had been flipped upside down, and all plans to ever get to Lotus broke into tiny pieces.23 How could she just abandon everything she had worked for like that?His mind swirled with thoughts of revenge. He couldn't let Lotus get away with the effort he had put in place he needed to win Lotus' heart and the only way was by tackling his rival. No, he needed to establish a company, a rival to Peter's, and prove to everyone that he was not to be messed with and maybe, Lotus would find her way back to him.Frustrated and seething with anger, George picked up his phone and dialed his head agent, John. "What do you mean Peter escaped?" George barked into the phone, his voice laced with fury.John gulped on the other end of the line. "I'm sorry, sir. Our team was not able to eliminate him. H
One month later.Lotus woke up as the first rays of sunlight peeked through her bedroom window. Stretching her arms, she stretched her body, feeling a rush of energy flowing through her veins.She was beginning to put her past behind her. All that remained in her mind was how to sail through her plans this time without the help of anyone. Not even a man who claimed to love her to the end. Today the day she would resume her work at one of the most influential modeling brands in New York, after her successful surgery, no one in her past life could recognize her. As she sat up on her bed, her gaze fell upon Sarah who was meticulously ironing her clothes, a frown formed on Lotus's lips. She wondered how Peter sacked such a beautiful soul who was always willing to help.Sarah turned, noticing that Lotus was awake. "Good morning, Lotus. I've prepared your clothes for the day. You don't want to be late for your interview, now do you?"Lotus furrowed her brows and said gently, "Thank you, S
The next day, Lotus arrived at work, ready to dive into another day of photo shoots, Despite her plans she was beginning to enjoy the process. She walked through the entrance of the company, just as a model angrily stomped out of Caleb's office. The woman looked frustrated and upon seeing her, she stopped Lotus in her tracks and warned her to be careful around Caleb, the head of the company. The model claimed there was something off about him.Lotus was taken aback by the sudden encounter. She had always admired Caleb from a distance, she loved his total ability to guide young models to be who they want to be. But it was just one woman's opinion, and she brushed it off as one of those things people say out of anger or spite. Shaking off the encounter, she made her way to the makeup room.All she wanted now was to climb the corporate ladder, reach the highest position in her field, and build her own architectural company once again. She had been through so much in her past, facing se
It has been four years since the Lotus came to a realization of what really happened in our marriage back then. It has been 4 years is Lotus reconciled with her husband Peter and children. It had been 4 years since Lotus made sure all her enemies were trampled under foot and she rose to a very long height in power. Despite the fact that she had reconciled with Peter they decided to start from scratch again from courtship and trying to get to know each other all over again and everyone acknowledged that as a very nice and wise decision to make. Bay boats begin to see things that they've never seen before in their lives and begin to see the flames of their relationship that were kindled by the cold fire that was poured on them but their enemies. Lotus now owns a mega model company and a mega architectural company in New York and all across the world. Everything was finally making sense to her and all our efforts also a lifetime were beginning to play and produce bigger fruit than s
The next few months have been very hectic word for Peter his plan to bring George and Caleb to Justice was halted by a strange woman who is suspected was Lotus but he didn't have evidence for it at the time but now he was filled with gladness as I saw the news that Lotus was going to make an appearance in a particular Hall. It was his time to correct all the things he had done in the past it was his time to make things right and reconcile with his wife and family now that all enemies were kept at bay never to rise again.And he hoped that Lotus could forgive him and listen to his explanations he really loved her and he wanted their relationship to work also he loved his children James and Jenny he missed them like hell and he hoped they forgive him for every harm and pain he caused their mother.She had been in touch with Lotus's father and explained everything that transpired between Sheila and him back then that resulted in his broken marriage with Lotus. The Lotus' father was angry
Life has been good to Lotus. Her surgery was off and she finally reconciled with James and Jenny they were both happy to see her and reconcile with their long-lost mother.All her life this was the reason why she was leaving to get her children to a place of happiness, that was all she wanted and she was beginning to set a revenge plan aside after the death of Sheila. She hadn't also heard anything about Caleb but she knew that something was definitely going on. An autopsy was done on Sheila's body and it was found that Sheila was shot to death not strangled by a suicide rope like it was claimed.The whole idea that Sheila committed suicide Sunday was so strange to her but notice decided to look into it and she found out that an anonymous paint on social media ad carried the news that influenced and Sheila had actually commit suicide something that Lotus knew Sheila would never do even in her wildest dreams and now she had to contact and expect or who helped her look into things. To
Peter sat in his dimly-lit ground office, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone when a headline caught his eye. It was about Lotus. With a mix of shock and relief, he read the article that confirmed her whereabouts. This time, he vowed to himself, he wouldn't let his past mistakes get in the way. He was genuinely concerned for her well-being, especially now that Sheila, the woman who had come between them, was dead.Later that day, as Peter strolled the halls of his opulent mansion, he received a phone call from one of his men named John. The urgency in John's voice piqued Peter's interest, as he listened intently to the news. Sheila's autopsy had revealed that she had not taken her own life, but had been killed by a gunshot instead. Peter's shock turned quickly to anger as he realized the severity of the situation. Despite all the wrongs Sheila had done to him, he still felt a sense of duty to bring her killers to justice.He wasted no time, making his way to his private office
One week later.Lotus slowly opened her eyes, blinking away the remnants of sleep as she found herself in the luxurious bedroom of her grand mansion. Rubbing her temples, she sat up and glanced at the clock on her bedside table. It was 7 a.m. She sighed deeply, realizing that the time had come to face her past and mend the broken bonds with her children.Just as she was about to swing her legs out of bed, the door creaked open, and her lifelong friend, Sarah, entered the room. Sarah's soft brown eyes were filled with concern as she asked, "Lotus, are you ready?"Lotus hesitated for a moment, gazing down at her hands. "I... I need just a minute, Sarah," she murmured, her voice filled with a mix of apprehension and hope.Sarah nodded understandingly and gave her a reassuring smile. "Take all the time you need, my dear. You've come so far, and now it's time for this important step towards reconciling with Jenny and James."Lotus sighed, the past week has been very very hectic for her she
Lotus Kent paced back and forth in her luxurious penthouse, her mind ablaze with a burning rage that threatened to consume her. She was ready to make the whole world pay for the pain they had caused her, for the countless sleepless nights spent plotting her revenge.After years of being used like a pawn and a chest in some people's game, she was ready to serve them revenge in a very cold dish. All her life she had always wanted to be at the top with her children and the man that she loved dearly but it turned out that Peter did not have the same vision as she had. Even with her fake identity as Linda, Peter still does not have an ounce of care or remorse and is still following Sheila around him every time. She was supposed to be enraged and angry at his obvious betrayal but there was nothing she could do because now she was willing herself to kill the little love she had for him.But another nagging question has been on her mind, why did he come to New York? Could it be that they had
Sheila's eyes fluttered open, and as her vision cleared, she realized she was tied to a chair. Panic surged through her veins as her gaze fell upon the lifeless bodies of popular models strewn across the room. It all suddenly made sense. George was a killer, and she was next on his list.Her heart rate picked up as fear welled up in her she didn't know she had been relating and being in contact with a killer and a criminal. She had always known that something was wrong with him and the way he does his things but now it all makes sense he was a killer and who knows maybe he wanted to get Lotto show also kill her.But why? Why does he have this sick obsession to kill why does he want to take the life of young models, her heart was racing and pummeling so fast against her chest that she didn't even know what to do. But despite the way she felt she felt a new sense of living and reality. She has been so down on her obsession with Peter that it has clouded her adjustment that she can't ev
Sheila stared out the window of her penthouse, her perfectly manicured nails tapping against the glass. She despised the mere thought of Linda being near Peter, the man she believed was rightfully hers. It made her blood boil with jealousy and anger. Something had to be done, and she knew just the person to take care of her little problem.All her life she had always wanted Peter and merely knowing the fact that Linda and Peter were kind of close made her blood boil with anger she couldn't believe that yet again another person was trying to take Peter away from her after all the stress she has gone through into removing notice from the picture. But sadly there was nothing to hold Linda on Sheila didn't even know her well but she knew that there was something about her that seemed very familiar and even the way she spoke and worked seemed like something that Sheila had seen once in a life but Sheila brought the talking me not even want you to think about the possibilities of Linda bein
The sun had just started its descent, casting golden rays over the sprawling grounds of Peter's mansion. Sheila stood at the entrance, a determined gleam in her eyes. Today was the day she would confront Peter, no matter the consequences. She was going to meet him and damn the consequences. She adjusted her blouse, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.Peter opened the door, surprise etching lines on his face. "Sheila, what are you doing here?" he demanded, his voice laced with a hint of annoyance.Sheila squared her shoulders, refusing to back down. "I'm here to tell you that I won't let you run away from me, Peter. I will follow you, no matter where you go or what you do."Peter's face hardened the warmth in his eyes disappearing. "If you try anything funny, I promise you, Sheila, I will make sure you are destroyed," he threatened coldly.Sheila refused to buckle under his intimidating gaze. She had made up her mind, come what may. "Fine," she said, her voice laced with determi
