Hardy said standing at the strait case , looking at his dad , vehemently, “ no time is the best time don I really think we should talk about this , now !”

Hardy sighed !!, his father wasn’t the type to give up , neither will he give up easily

Will sat alone in the quiet kitchen, his fingers drumming gently against the smooth wooden table. The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the window, but it did little to ease the tension that weighed heavily on him.

This was a conversation he’d dreaded but had thought about for months. He took a deep breath, trying to prepare himself as he heard footsteps approaching.

Hardy stepped into the room, looking curious but cautious. His father had called him to sit down without explanation, and he could sense something was on his mind.

She thought resigning from her job would be best, but she knew this would impact her and her family.Now, with her mother needing every job that could support her until she recovered, everything seemed to worsen for Brenda.“Brenda, is that you?” her mother called as she sat, looking at the door to her room.“Yes, Mother!” Brenda replied happily as she stood to leave, though thoughts of her issues with Will continued to replay in her mind.With compassion in her eyes, her mother sensed something was wrong with her daughter, but she chose not to press further.“I’m thirsty. Could you get me some water, please?”Her mother’s request prompted Brenda to rush to the other side of the room to bring her water.“I’m glad you’re awake now.

    Chapter“What, Father? How could you take away her job just because you don’t want her in my life? This is my life, Dad! Can you please just let me be?”“I won’t condone these actions of yours any longer. It’s best you go back to work, and we’ll talk about this when we get home.”“No, Dad. Either you give her the job back, or I leave this office—and your life. Don’t expect to see me at home!”Will dropped the paperwork he was working on, smirking at his son. “And how do you intend to survive?”“I really don’t know what you expect me to do. She’s been off work way too much, and her job is slipping. Did you expect me to put sentiments over my company?”“Come on, Dad. You know she had a sick mother to care for. This isn’t like you. You really need to grow up!”“Watch your words, Hardy. This will be the last time I speak on this matter!”Will banged his hand on the desk, and Brenda whimpered outside, tears rolling down her face.“Fine, Dad. You’ve made up your mind, and so have I.

There are plenty of men who would do anything to have you. Why stay stuck with a man who clearly doesn’t want you?” Layla said.Cassandra shook her head repeatedly. “No, I won’t accept that, and I won’t sit back and watch it happen. Hardy is mine and mine alone!”She breathed heavily, sweat beading on her forehead. “Okay, then—tell me, what do you intend to do right now?”Layla asked, walking over to Cassandra as she sat down, starting to cry. Layla knew things weren’t likely to end well.“I don’t really know, but I do know I’m going after that woman who thinks she can take Hardy from me.”Layla sighed, fully aware that changing Cassandra’s mind would be difficult. “Are you sure about this?” she asked in a low, worried tone.“I couldn’

The cool night breeze ruffled her hair, and she pulled her shawl tighter around her shoulders.Her mind raced with a thousand thoughts.

Will’s love was constant, unyielding, but the memories of Hardy still tugged at her heart. The look in his eyes as he’d turned and walked away earlier had been so raw, so full of pain, and despite everything that had transpired, it left a mark on her soul.“Brenda?” Will’s voice called softly from behind her.She turned, her heart doing a little skip at the sight of him.
