Chapter 18 Lucas leaned back in his chair, one hand gripping the armrest as he slowly spun himself in circles. His gaze flicked toward John, who stood across from him, hands clasped behind his back. "John," Lucas said, halting the chair’s movement. He stood, walking toward the window. "I need you to hire a private investigator." John hesitated. "Why, sir? I thought you believed Selena was guilty." Lucas let out a dry chuckle. "Let’s not waste time with that nonsense. We both know she’s innocent." John frowned. "Then… do you want her out?" Lucas turned, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Of course not," he said, his voice as sharp as a blade. "That woman will rot in jail no matter what. But my father always said, 'Know your enemies.' And that’s exactly what I intend to do." John swallowed hard. "Understood, sir. I’ll get on it right away." Lucas waved a dismissive hand. "That will be all." John nodded and left, but the moment he stepped into the elevator, he pulled out his phone

Chapter 19"Josephine, please come back!" John said as Josephine pushed him aside and left the office.***Lucas's car stopped at the entrance of a magnificent building standing firm and proud, with a golden-colored sign stating Crystal Hotel."Incredible," Lucas said in awe of the building. Truly, it was a sight to behold."Isn't it?" Mabel said as she appeared before him."Thank you for making it.""No, thank you for inviting me," he replied as he took in her beauty.Mabel was wearing a red, body-hugging gown that accentuated her perfectly curved figure. Her lips were painted with a dark shade of red, and her hair was tied in a messy yet elegant bun."Gosh, you are beautiful," Lucas uttered, completely in a trance."Thank you, Mr. Lucas."Instantly, as if being shaken to reality, he frowned. "Can you not talk to me so formally? We are friends, so…""You are married," Mabel said, blinking her eyes."Let's pretend I'm not for tonight. I just want to have a good time without being remi

Chapter 20The ray of sunlight touched Lucas, making him squint before finally opening his eyes.“Gosh,” he groaned in pain as he tried to remember the events of the previous night.“Damn this hangover,” he muttered, then paused as if remembering something important.“Mabel,” he said with a smile, his gaze shifting to the scattered bed.He frowned. Is she here? he wondered, calling out her name.Silence.He called again as he moved around the room, searching for any sign of her, but there was none.“Where the hell is she?” he muttered, quickly picking up his clothes from the floor and dressing up.As he stepped out of the room, confusion clouded his mind. He couldn’t remember anything from the previous night, so he dialed Mabel’s number. At least she would have an idea of what happened last night, he thought, smiling slightly as a new thought entered his mind.Were we intimate? he whispered to no one in particular.“Gosh, Mabel, pick up,” he uttered in frustration after trying her num

Chapter 21"Mom! Mom!" Liam called out as he headed toward her room.He had just seen the disturbing video of his father and couldn’t imagine what his mother was going through. As he stepped inside, he was met with a sight that took him aback—a woman he could barely recognize. Josephine sat there, her makeup ruined, her expression hollow with sorrow."Mom," he said softly, pulling her into a hug."Liam," she murmured, clinging to him.She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by her own choked sob. Though Josephine had put on a strong front in front of Lucas, deep down, she was shattered."Do you think this is karma?" she asked suddenly, shocking both herself and Liam.After the death of Christopher Wells—Lucas’s father, she and Lucas had grown distant, each consumed by their own thirst for power."Hey, look at me," Liam said gently, wiping away her tears. "It’s not karma, okay?"He paused, staring at her for a long moment before adding in a low tone, "It’s Lucas. His selfish

Chapter 22"Violet," Josephine mouthed, her eyes trembling, her stomach sinking. "No… this is impossible," she whispered, as Violet's heels clicked against the marble floor, she sat down at the edge of the table."Tell me, Josephine, why is it so impossible?" Violet asked, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips, though her eyes remained dead cold and serious.The aura in the room shifted instantly, her presence alone commanding.Josephine felt as though the air in the room was being sucked out. Lucas, on the other hand, felt his world crumbling. What is she doing here? Why now? he thought. Why reveal that she’s alive now?He quickly snapped out of his shock, realizing he needed to refute her claim."How can she stake a claim?" Lucas asked, still standing, trying to assert his authority.Josephine, however, couldn't process anything. She instantly sat back down, trying to digest the fact that Violet was sitting before her."Mr. Lucas," the spokesperson began, but Lucas immediately i

Chapter 23Josephine hurriedly walked out of the company building as though her life depended on it. She had initially thought of having a conversation with Lucas on the way to control the ongoing situation, but after receiving the latest information, nothing seemed more important.***"Good day, ma'am. How may I help you?" the receptionist asked as Josephine stood in front of the counter.Presently, Josephine was at the Royal Suite Restaurant, one of the most prominent restaurants in the city. It was known not only for hosting elite customers but also for its high level of security. The restaurant provided a secured place to talk freely, with soundproof rooms and tight security measures ensuring privacy."Ah, yes.

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

Chapter 2Stepping out of his 2024 Maybach, Alex made his way into the restaurant. Earlier, he had received a call from Violet asking him to meet her there."Good afternoon, someone by the name of Violet reserved a table?" he asked the receptionist."Oh yes, sir," the receptionist replied, beckoning to his assistant to show Alex the table."Glad you considered my offer," Alex said as he sat across from Violet. "Thank you," he added to the assistant receptionist."Glad you could make it on such short notice," Violet said, stretching her hand to shake his."Uhmm, I think before we get down to business, we should order. Don’t you think?" Alex said, trying to ease the atmosphere."Okay," Violet said, picking up the menu, while Alex signaled the waitress.After placing their orders and receiving their meals, Violet decided to address the elephant in the room."You said we could help each other?" Violet asked, adjusting herself in her chair."I did. Last I heard, you need a husband, and I n

Chapter 17 The Next Morning Mabel woke up before Liam. Quietly grabbing her things, she glanced at Liam, who was still asleep on the floor. Slipping out of the apartment, she winced, holding her head. “Damn this hangover,” she mumbled as she hailed a cab. --- In the breakfast room, Violet walked in, her presence commanding. “Good morning,” she greeted. “Good morning,” Sean replied, looking up from the newspaper he was reading. “I just spoke to Mr. Rock on the phone,” Sean began. “The court hearing seems to be favoring us.” “I know,” Violet said as she took her seat. “I visited Mom this morning.” “Where is everyone?” Violet asked. Sean set the newspaper down “Well, Riele is out of the country handling some business matters,” Sean explained. “That leaves us with Mabel.” “Lewis!” Violet called out to the butler. “Yes, ma’am?” “Go get Mabel.” The butler hesitated. “Ma’am, if I may, Mabel did not return home last night.” Just as he spoke, Mabel walked in. “Good morning,”

Chapter 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.
