People flocked to Juliette's side, their worry and concern evident on their faces, as she lay on the ground, seriously injured. The driver of the car hastily emerged, rushing towards her with a mix of panic and guilt in his eyes.

"Someone, please call for an ambulance!" he urgently pleaded, desperation lacing his voice. Just then, two sleek black cars swiftly pulled up at the chaotic scene, drawing everyone's attention.

Without wasting a moment, a man gently scooped Juliette into his arms, carefully placing her inside one of the waiting vehicles. Simultaneously, two other injured individuals were tenderly carried into the second black car.

"Hold on a minute! You can't just take them like that," a woman protested, her voice filled with disbelief and concern.

The man who had carried Juliette shot her a piercing gaze, his smirk dripping with arrogance.

"Should I let them suffer on the cold ground while you simply stand here crying and waiting for an ambulance?" he retorted, his word

    "I shouldn't be seen in a place like this," Doctor Brad remarked, deftly packing medical equipment into a sleek black briefcase. "For the exorbitant amount I pay you, I expect prompt answers whenever I call," Michael asserted, his tone dripping with entitlement. Doctor Brad's expression soured, his disappointment evident. "Juliette's condition has been temporarily stabilized, but she desperately requires immediate medical attention at a hospital for further assessment," Doctor Brad informed him. "It appears to be a case of Traumatic Brain Injury, requiring urgent care." "Traumatic Brain Injury? Who cares about that?" Michael dismissed nonchalantly, displaying an unsettling lack of concern. Shaking his head in dismay, Doctor Brad struggled to comprehend Michael's callousness. "Well, I suppose I appreciate your service regardless," Michael attempted to salvage the situation with a half-hearted gratitude. Ignoring the insincere thanks, Doctor Brad simply turned and walked out. Mi

    "His competitor? Daniel?" Renee asked, looking confused. "Ask him. He probably knows," Annabelle replied and folded her hands. "She isn't referring to Daniel. And what's with this Linc person? Or whatever you called him?" Ryan questioned Anna with a puzzled expression. "Your dad brought him to town. He's here," Anna responded, smirking triumphantly. "And so...?" "And so, he's coming here," Annabelle clarified. "Again, I ask... so?" Ryan retorted, still not understanding the significance. "You seriously don't see the bigger picture, do you?" Annabelle said, growing irritated by his nonchalant attitude. "What exactly is this about then?" Ryan inquired. "He's coming for your place in the family, in the Haven group, and for your heir position. And you're just acting so nonchalant about it?" Annabelle explained, her frustration evident. "Wait, who is this Linc person and why are they after Ryan's position?" Renee interjected, seeking clarification. "I couldn't care less about wha

    "What?" Michael's voice quivered. "That's right," Richard proclaimed, a twisted grin plastered across his face. "I am going to watch her kill you. We are going to revel in the satisfaction of witnessing the last breath leave your body." "Why? Why would you want me dead? I haven't done anything wrong," his eyes were filled with feigned innocence. Richard's expression darkened, his gaze burning holes into Michael's soul. "Oh, really? Well you'll find out soon enough," he cryptically responded. "It's time for you to accept the fact that she's lost. There's no way she'll ever remember what happened that day..." "Deep down in your heart, you know that's not true," Richard said, his voice trembling with certainty. "She's dating your son, she's friends with your daughter. Evelyn cares for Adrienne, and so does Brian. Despite your pretense and indifference, you're terrified because you know she's on the brink of recalling everything. She's inching closer to regaining her lost memory

    Richard entered his house and was taken aback by the dazzling brightness that filled the space. Normally cloaked in a dim, moody ambiance, today the windows and curtains were wide open, and the chandelier emitted a magnificent glow. The transformation left Richard feeling as if he had entered a completely different and airy world. "What on earth happened here? Did a spotlight convention just wrap up in my living room?" he questioned aloud. Just then, Juliette emerged from the kitchen, being assisted by a maid pushing her on a wheelchair. "Oh, you're awake already? I expected you to be out for at least three days. I guess you are pretty strong after all," Richard said, astonishment evident in his voice. Juliette smiled warmly. "Do you like the lighting? It felt so stifling in here, so I had them turn on the lights and open the windows and curtains," she explained. "It's as if the sun itself decided to take up residence in my home," he exclaimed, still marveling at the scene befor

    She arrived at his house after what felt like an eternity. As she stepped through the doorway, her gaze roamed the rooms, desperately searching for him. At last, she discovered him in his chaotic room, gripping his phone tightly while engrossed in conversation. Ryan appeared disheveled, sporting a haphazard combination of casual shorts and a crumpled tank top. His hair resembled a wild bird's nest, looking untouched by a comb for weeks. Adrienne's eyes widened in surprise as she caught sight of Ryan, interrupting his phone call. Putting the person on the other line on hold, he hastily muttered, "I'll call you back later," before diverting his attention to Adrienne. Confusion etched across his face, he queried, "What brings you here?" Adrienne scoffed, taken aback by his question. "What brings me here?" she retorted, her voice dripping with disbelief. "I wasn't expect—" "What happened to you? We haven't spoken in nearly two days. I texted and called you multiple times, but r

    Adrienne sat at the restaurant, savoring each mouthful of the delectable pasta dish she had ordered. She hadn't planned on dining alone, but an unexpected change in plans with Ryan led her to venture out to the hotel restaurant solo. "Food truly has its way of healing the soul," she remarked with a contented smile, raising her forkful of pasta to her lips. A voice, dripping with disdain, unexpectedly broke her reverie. "Well, that has to be the most absurd line I've ever heard." Startled, she glanced up to find a familiar figure occupying the seat across from her. Tapping into her memory banks, she gradually recognized those tall, broad shoulders, brown hair, and captivating brown eyes – it was none other than the arrogant jerk she had encountered at the restaurant two evenings ago. "Remember me?" he asked, his voice filled with disdain. Adrienne stared at him for a moment, trying to place the face. "You don't look like someone worth remembering. Who are you?" Linc grinned,

    "Richard?" Adrienne's voice held a tinge of surprise and caution as she spotted him approaching her. "Two cans of refreshing soda for my lady in red," he said, extending one of the cans towards her with a smile. Adrienne scoffed, her annoyance evident as he sauntered over to her. "What are you doing here? How did... I have so many questions right now." Richard chuckled, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "And I'll gladly answer all of your questions, one at a time." He winked at her before handing her the can. She accepted it, opened it, and took a generous sip, mirroring his actions. "Thank you," she murmured, her annoyance fading slightly. "So... what are you doing here?" she inquired, her tone a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Richard's smile grew wider. "I came to see my lady," he responded with a subtle flirtatiousness. Adrienne rolled her eyes, not completely convinced. "How did you know I was here or that I was coming here? Did you follow me?" "No, Adrienne, I di

    Adrienne's heart pounded in her chest as she stood frozen, her mind struggling to comprehend the horrifying scene unfolding before her. The deafening explosion echoed in her ears, drowning out all other sounds, as flames consumed her car and the valet trapped inside. The valet's desperate screams intertwined with the crackling of the inferno, piercing through Adrienne's consciousness. In that moment of shock and desperation, Adrienne's first instinct was to run towards the engulfed vehicle, tears streaming down her face. But before she could take a step, a strong arm reached out to hold her back. It was Richard, equally stunned by the sudden chaos, who shouted above the commotion with concern in his voice. "Adrienne, no! It's too dangerous!" Richard's grip tightened around her arm, desperation evident in his eyes. "We need to get you away from here!" Adrienne's frantic gaze searched the area, hoping to spot a fire extinguisher, anything that could help save the valet. As the secon

    "Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

    "Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

    "Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

    "Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

    Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

    Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

    She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his

    Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad

    Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
