View MoreChapter 16Tension filled the courtroom as Selena was escorted to the defense table by a female police officer. Her lawyer, Antony Rock, sat beside her, flipping through a file. His expression radiated determination and resilience.Selena took a deep breath, silently praying that everything would work in her favor. She glanced around, noting the presence of Lucas, Josephine, and their legal team, all seated on the prosecution’s side.Due to their joint decision, not to reveal violet return, it had been agreed that neither Violet nor Sean would attend the trial. It was just Selena and Antony defending her case.The court clerk stood and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, this court will now proceed to hear arguments regarding the introduction of a new witness related to the case.”“Prosecution, the floor is yours,” the judge instructed.“Thank you, Your Honour,” said Lucas’s lawyer, rising to his feet. “The CCTV footage submitted into evidence clearly shows that Miss Selena Brook was th
Chapter 15"Are you sure it's the right time to see her?" Violet asked, feeling uneasy.They were currently at the station, about to see Selena."Violet, trust me. You've fulfilled your promise. It's only a matter of time before Selena is released," Sean said, noticing how tense she was."You're right. Every day, I wish to see my mom, and she's in there," Violet said, tears falling from her eyes.Although she couldn't remember all her memories clearly, Violet had been experiencing flashbacks. Some were painful—like seeing her mom cry—while others were happy moments. The scattered memories only made her miss her mother more."Let’s go in," she said, sucking in a generous amount of air."Let’s go," Sean repeated.Selena, who was still in shock that her case had been reopened, sat on a bench in the visitor's room, her back facing the door."This way," the police warden said, leading them.The moment Violet caught sight of her mom, her world seemed to stand still. Memories of her mother f
Chapter 14 “Mabel!” Lucas called out as he climbed down the stairs, his long legs making it easy for him to catch up to her. “Hey there,” he said, laughing as he finally reached her. “I’m so sorry about Josephine's attitude earlier. Please, let this not come in between the great revenue and deals both our companies are about to make,” Lucas said, carefully choosing his words to ensure the deal wasn’t called off. “Mr. Lucas, we will see,” Mabel replied curtly. “Now, if you may excuse me,” she added, clearly not in the mood for a conversation. Sensing the irritation in her voice, Lucas wasn’t entirely sure about the state of their business relationship. “Mabel, please, let’s go out for dinner tomorrow,” he suggested. “Mr. Lucas—” “It’s Lucas. Call me Lucas,” he interrupted, his voice calm and low. “Lucas, don’t you think that’s inappropriate?” she said, raising an eyebrow. “Not at all. My dinner request is only to ensure we’re still on good terms, both as friends and a
Chapter 13“You’re back late,” Sean said as Violet walked into the mansion.“I was actually on my way to have dinner. You should join me,” he added.“No, I’m sorry, I can’t. I just finished having dinner with someone special,” Violet said, smiling.“Who?” Sean asked, completely taken aback, curious about what could make Violet genuinely happy.“I met with Mr. Anthony Rocks,” Violet hinted.“Isn’t he the lawyer who was responsible for freeing that murder suspect?” Sean asked, his eyebrows raised.“Yes. I decided to formally introduce him to Mom’s case, and he’s interested,” Violet replied.“Well, you did a great job getting that lawyer. He will be so much help to our case—he’s good at what he does.”“I know,” Violet said as she was about to move past him.“I still have good news that can complement this wonderful news you just shared.”“What news?” Violet asked, taken aback.“The investigator I hired to investigate your grandfather’s death five years ago finally reached out to me.”“Wh
Chapter 12“Selena, a gift basket just arrived for you,” one of the prison wardens informed her as she handed over a basket with a small cake and a note attached.Happy birthday, Ma, with love – A.Selena smiled graciously, staring at the gift. She never thought she would spend her 40th birthday behind bars, with no contact from her daughter. Life was so unpredictable. For the past five years, Alex had sent her birthday cards and cakes. Even though he had left the country years ago, he still remembered her birthday, a gesture she would never forget.A little part of her wished she could get a note or even a glimpse of Violet, her daughter. How could she be genuinely happy when she didn’t even know if her daughter was dead or alive? She sighed and mumbled, “Thank you, Alex.”***“What is the cake for?” Riele asked as she walked into the breakfast room, where both Violet and Sean were present. The red cake decorated with a delicate white floral pattern caught her attention. “Take a sea
Chapter 11The next day..."Leo, let’s go," Lucas said to his driver as he stepped into his car. He was in the middle of a very important meeting that was meant to close his day’s work when he got an emergency call from one of the bodyguards he had assigned to trail Liam."Sir, the young master is in a frenzy at the casino. He’s drunk and causing a huge scene," the bodyguard had reportLucas had no choice but to postpone his meeting so he could go stop his foolish son from embarrassing the family and landing himself in the news."Gosh," he muttered, irritation coursing through him as the driver made his way to the casino.Upon arrival, the bodyguard was already at the entrance, waiting to receive Lucas."Sir, this way," the bodyguard said, leading him inside.Inside, Liam was a drunken mess, covered in liquor and yelling at the top of his voice."Do you know who I am? I’m the heir to the fucking Wells empire!" Liam bellowed."Liam!" Lucas roared, immediately capturing his son’s attent
Chapter 10"Thank you," Lucas said as he ended the board meeting. After exchanging pleasantries with the members of the board, he left the company."Sir, where to?" his driver asked as he opened the car door."Let's visit my ex-wife today," Lucas replied with a grin."Okay, sir," the driver said as he started the car.---"Ma'am, you have a visitor," Selena was informed by the warden.She had spent so many days locked away that she had lost count of time. Violet? Could it be Violet? Every day, her prayers were to set eyes on her daughter again. After the news of Wave's death hit her, Violet had been her only source of hope. But, unfortunately, it seemed her daughter had vanished into thin air.She was directed to the visiting ward, where she saw Lucas, dressed sharply in a black suit, seated and staring at her."What do you want, you bastard?" she hissed through clenched teeth, her voice hard. She avoided yelling to keep the police from paying attention. She didn’t want any trouble, a
Chapter 9"Violet, I’m Sean—your uncle," Sean said, his voice laced with distress."Doctor, what’s happening?" Sean asked, turning his attention to the man beside him.The doctor began to speak, but Violet’s voice interrupted."Sean," she called out, squinting her eyes as if trying to piece something together. "I remember... you were on the cliff with me."Sean nodded. "Yes, I was. I tripped and fell down the cliff."She paused, her face contorting as if she had just remembered something important. "Where is my mom? My brother?" she asked, trying to turn her head to look around."Mrs. Wells, please calm down," the doctor interjected gently."I can’t calm down!" she exclaimed. "Where are they? And why was I on that cliff in the first place?" Her voice was rising with confusion and distress.Sensing that she was becoming too agitated, the doctor instructed a nurse, "Administer a sedative, she’s overexerting herself.""I feel... lightheaded," Violet mumbled as her eyes began to close."I
Chapter 8Violet stood up and unconsciously walked to her brother's favorite place—a small mountain. She didn’t cry; she felt numb. All she could hear were the voices of her neighbor and the news anchor repeating the same devastating words: Wave is dead.The ex-wife of Lucas Wells had been arrested as the primary suspect.Reaching Wave's favorite place, which was close to a cliff, Violet fell to her knees.“Nooo!” she yelled, tears pouring down uncontrollably.“No, please,” she screamed repeatedly, her voice echoing in the emptiness. Her family was everything to her, and now, they were falling apart. She couldn’t believe the nightmare her life had become.Unable to bear the loss, she moved toward the edge of the cliff, despair clouding her mind. She wanted to end it all. Her mother was going to be locked away for the rest of her life, her brother and unborn child were gone, and her husband had ended their marriage. The crushing weight of her losses made death seem like the only escape
Chapter 1Violet Wells pushed open the heavy wooden door to her grandfather's office."Grandpa, if you wanted to know about the mother of your grandchildren and your grandson's well-being, you could have just called," Violet said, her voice filled with exasperation. "No need to give me a heart attack.""Violet, my girl, dramatic as always," her grandfather, Christopher, chuckled as he strode toward his chair. "I'm so glad you didn't have an actual heart attack.""Me too," Violet replied, rolling her eyes dramatically, prompting both of them to laugh."Violet," her grandfather began, his tone growing serious, "the reason I asked you to come to the office is that I’m getting old, and I need a successor."Violet nodded, the sudden shift in mood setting tension in the room."We both know that will never be your father," he added firmly."Well, your reasons are justifiable," Violet agreed."Grandpa, honestly, you’re not that old. You’re still healthy enough to run the company, so you shoul...
