IAN'S POV."I mean..." I paused looking fluttered. "I don't understand why you're holding back grandma." I bit my lower lip to contain my anger. "This is our chance to usurp Saraya from the seat she is occupying."My grandmother sighed. "Ian, your uncle and Arlan jointly hold the bigger amount of shares as we speak, if they throw their weight round their shares, we stand no chance of winning.""After all is said and done, you will agree with me that things won't be the same with them again." I explained. "It's time to strike while the iron is still hot.""The problem is your uncle, you can tell from what you've seen tonight that he has no intention of punishing Saraya through her position, no matter what has happened, Saraya still have his support.""That is because he is only trying to make up for the lost time in Saraya's life, he handed her that position to feel less guilty but if he continue to tolerate Saraya's insolent, it would be the end of the Newman's empire." I pointed out.

MARY'S POV.It was dawn when I opened my eyes and saw Alex staring at blank space. I crawled out of our king-sized bed and walked up to him."Don't tell me you stood here all night?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.He turned his head slightly, his eyes clouded. “I’m fine,” he murmured, but his voice sounded far from convincing.“Fine?” I studied his face. His complexion was pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. “Alex, you don’t look fine. Your face is so pale. You need to rest.”He sighed, rubbing his temple. “I’m okay, Mary. Really.”“No, you’re not,” I said firmly, reaching for his arm. “Come on. Let’s get you back to bed.”I had barely turned to lead him when his knees buckled, and he collapsed into my arms.“Alex!” I screamed, lowering him to the floor as carefully as I could. “Alex, wake up! Please!”His eyes remained closed, his body limp. My heart pounded in my chest as panic surged through me."Someone, help me." I screamed out at the top of my voice.The

MATILDA'S POV.I walked into the living room with a cup of honeyed tea and stopped when I saw Arlan sprawled on the couch, fast asleep. For the first time in hours, his chest rose and fell steadily. I let out a small sigh of relief.“Finally closed those eyes of yours,” I muttered to myself. “Took you long enough after pacing and sighing all night.”As I moved closer, I spotted the bruise on his cheek. “Great, Matilda,” I whispered under my breath. “Guess I slapped him harder than I meant to.”Careful not to wake him, I set the cup of tea on the table and hurried to grab a bag of ice.When I returned, Arlan was sitting up, his eyes half-lidded but alert. He blinked at me, then at the tea."Hi," I said, walking up to him.He quickly sat upright like I would jump on him, well, he is right. I could."Hi." He replied, his voice husky. "Uh… thanks for letting me crash here." He said.“Don’t thank me. Thank the couch,” I replied. “Now drink that. I added plenty of honey, it’ll help with yo

ARLAN'S POV.I rushed into the reception of the hospital, panting. As I headed to the nurse in charge. I saw Mary standing by the pay fridge, struggling to get a bottle of water out.I didn’t hesitate, I went over and grabbed the bottle, and held it out to her. “Here,” I said, trying to catch my breath.Mary glanced at me and sighed lightly. She didn’t take it. Instead, she turned away, muttering, “What do you want, Arlan?”“Mary, please,” I started, sounding desperate. “Just give me a minute. Let me explain.”She spun around, her eyes filled with anger. “Explain? What’s left to explain? Just stay away from me. Stay away from my family.”Her words stung, but I refused to back down. “Just one chance, Mary. That’s all I’m asking. Please.”“No,” she snapped, her tone final. “I don’t want to hear it.”Before I could say another word, a familiar voice interrupted us. “Mary?”I turned to see Matilda walking toward us, her face was filled with worry.“Matilda?” I blinked, confused. “What ar

IAN'S POV.The house was dark and quiet when I walked in, the only light was coming from the chandelier lamp hanging from the roof of the living room.I dragged my tired feet and dropped my coat over the armrest of the couch and let out a heavy sigh.The faint scent of roses caught my attention. I rolled my eyes, following the scent of the flower only to come face to face with a bouquet of flowers.I could tell they were roses, bright red ones. Like the ones my dad used to gift my mom. I walked over, leaning in to take a closer look, and noticed a small card tucked between the stems.“Thinking of you. From Dominic.”I scoffed, tossing the card back to the table. "It's now Dominic, right? Who the hell is Dominic?" I untied the ribbon used to hold the roses together and slammed them hard on the ground and trampled on them."What are you doing, Ian?"Turning, I saw my randma walk into the room. Her face looked as tired as I felt, her shoulders slumped, and her lips pressed into a thin l

ISLA'S POV.I stopped at the hallway catching my breathe. "Ian is right, I am being passive with Saraya." I muttered.I truly understand how he feels but going head to head against another grandchild of mine when my child is on the sick bed is not something I want to do.I leaned back against the wall recalling how the relationship between Ian and Alex go so bad despite being inseparable years back.*10 years ago.*"Alex!" I screamed. "If you can't learn something from your brother, at least, stop making things more difficult." I spat."Comparing me to him again, right?" He asked. "That is all you're good at but you know what, I'm done." He raised his hand in the hand."No, you're not done until I say you're done." I retorted. "You've just failed to secure a bid that would have helped the financial state of the company and you think you're done? No, you're not." I repeated. "You must find a way of getting back the bid you lost or you can as well forget about being a member of the Newm

ARLAN'S POV."It's all my fault." I took another glass of wine. "I should've stayed away from saraya when I found out she is Alex's daughter. If I have, none of this would've happened."I recalled it was on a Christmas day when I had first heard about Saraya's existence.*TWO YEARS AGO.*I sat on the couch, a glass of mulled wine in my hand, watching Alex's family tear into their presents with reckless abandon and laughter filled the air.Wrapping paper flew in all directions as Evan unwrapped his gifts.Alex sat beside me, a satisfied grin on his face, looking every bit the proud father.“Evan is sure an happy child, isn't he?” I said, gesturing toward the mess he had made. Alex chuckled, taking a sip from his own glass. “He sure is. Nothing beats seeing seeing my family happy.” He said. "I can't wait for my daughter to join us here." He added."A daughter?"Alex nodded. "Yes, I got to find out I have a daughter." A small smile spread on his face. "I have a daughter, Arlan.""You k

SARAYA'S POV.I felt a soft touch on my shoulder. My heart raced and I opened my eyes in fear."Take it easy, it's me." Mary said, towering over me.“Good morning,” she said softly.“Good morning, Mom,” I replied, quickly sitting up and rubbing the sleep from my eyes.I glanced at my father, still motionless on the hospital bed. The rhythmic beeping of the life machine was the only assurance that life still clung to him with his doctor by his side.I sat up immediately. “I must have slept off.”“You need it,” Mary replied, her tone gentle yet firm. "The doctor is here, come."I stood up quickly, my legs wobbly beneath me, as I followed Mary toward the doctor.“Mrs. Newman, Ms. Newman,” he began. “Mr Newman's test results came out and I must say… his condition is critical. We’ve done everything we can, but I have to be honest with you. His health is deteriorating rapidly. You need to prepare yourselves for the worst.”I froze, "No," I whispered, shaking my head slowly. “You’re wrong. H

DOMINIC'S POVI was standing outside, adjusting the cuff of my vintage shirt when Saraya pulled up and parked. She stepped out of the car, looking effortlessly beautiful in her black short gown and I couldn’t help but smile.“I should be the one picking you up,” I said as she approached me.She grinned. “Remember, it’s my treat.”I shook my head. “Still, that doesn’t mean you have to drive.”“Well, I did.” She shrugged.We both laughed, and I pulled her into a hug. She smelled nice but I didn’t let myself linger too long so she doesn't get uncomfortable. When we pulled apart, I took a step back and gave her an approving look.I chuckled and held out my hand. “Keys.”She raised a brow. “Excuse me?”“You’ve been at work all day. Let me drive.”She hesitated for a second before dropping the keys into my palm. “Fine. But only because I’m too tired to argue.”I took the keys from Saraya and got into the driver’s seat while she settled beside me.“I’ll take what I can get,” I said, opening t

IAN'S POV.I turned to face her, my jaw tightening. “Grandmother, you have no idea...”She held up a hand, silencing me. “I heard enough, Ian.”Mary let out shaky whimpers but not without giving a quick mockery smile on seeing my grandmother's burst in and her reaction towards me.Somehow I felt like I had fell for her trick again with my impatience. Mary was a master manipulator, and my grandmother had walked in just in time to save her.I clenched my fists as I turned to face my grandmother. My pulse was pounding, I could barely contain my anger."Grandma, you don't understand," I said, forcing myself to stay calm.She looked at me sternly. "Oh, I understand plenty, Ian. I see exactly what's happening here. Even after talking to you, you still made your way down here to accuse. I overheard your conversation, despite her genuine plead for you to stop, you keep coming hard at her."Mary sniffled, wiping at her already tear-streaked face. "Mother, I don't know why he is doing this to

ISLA’S POVAs soon as Mary left, I reached for my phone and called Ian. “Come to my room now.”He didn’t ask why. Within minutes, he was standing in front of me, looking as confident as ever.I kept my hands folded behind my back, studying him carefully. “What do you think you’re doing, Ian?”His expression remained neutral. “I don’t understand what you mean, Grandmother.”I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t play games with me. What is this about bugging Mary’s phone and threatening her in the middle of the night?”He let out a short laugh. “Is that all she told you?” He asked.I took a step closer. “You're not even denying it? I guess it's true then.”Ian shrugged. “I did what I had to do. Mary’s been scheming behind everyone’s back. She’s manipulating things to her advantage. I just evened the playing field.”I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. “Let's assume you're right, do you think blackmail is the way to do that?” I asked. "What happens to coming to me?" I added."You've weakened grandma

MARY'S POVI didn't sleep a wink the entire night, I kept on thinking of what I could do to gain leverage over Ian.The alarm rang on my bedside interrupting my thoughts. I angrily pressed the off button. "Shut the fuck up!" I yelled at the bed clock.Taking a deep breath, I got up from bed and walked to the mirror and studied my reflection. I ruffled my hair, letting it fall messily around my face, then rubbed my pale eyes until they looked swollen. My nightgown was already slightly wrinkled, which worked in my favor. "This looks perfect." I said, taking in my disheveled look.Once I was satisfied with my appearance, I stepped out of my room and walked down the long hallway to Isla’s room. My footsteps were slow, hesitant, like a woman in labour.I needed to get in character and I was doing a great job. When I reached her door, I didn’t bother knocking. I turned the handle and pushed it open, letting the door slam against the wall.Isla jolted awake, her eyes wide with shock as she

SARAYA'S POV.I turned to my side when I noticed a figure hovering over me. I stirred and open my eyes and couldn't make sense of who it was so I screamed."Easy, it's me." Gabby held me."You scared me" I said breathing heavily. "What's going on?""You were sleeping longer than expected, it's already 10a.m in the morning so I came to check on you." She explained."What? 10a.m?"Gabby stood up and drew off the curtains and opened the window. "You believe me now?"I quickly grabbed my phone, there I saw Dominic has replied my message and he had also called severally.I sat up quickly, my heart racing as I unlocked my phone. I read his message and he had also sent another message about an hour ago.Dominic: Hey, how are you doing? I called a few times. Call me back when you see this.Guilt settled in my stomach. I had been so lost in sleep that I hadn’t heard my phone ring. I tapped on his contact and called him back, my fingers trembling slightly.Gabby sat on the edge of my bed, watch

MARY'S POV."That little rat, I wish I could just yank his neck off his body this instant. How dare he spy on me?" I asked breathing heavily at the realization that I was about to drag down.Arlan aside, if Isla gets to find out about this, she will never look at me the same way again."I've built my reputation to be a submissive wife, respectful daughter in law and dutiful mother and all of that is about to come crashing down because of that idiot! I can't stand that let that happen." I told myself.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I paced the room. "I have to do something very fast." I kept reminding myself as several thoughts ran through my mind but none of my ideas were good enough for the situation I had found myself.Ian thought he had me cornered, thought he had the upper hand? "That fool had no idea who he is dealing with, I will show him that I'm not to be disrespected.""But you have until tomorrow morning, what can you do before then?" A tiny voice ask

IAN'S POV."Awesome," I clapped my hands. "So Mary intends using Dominic to spy on Saraya. Guess I'm not the only one who is worked up about Saraya's existence." I said to myself."I've known she didn't care for Saraya like she claims to but I don't know Saraya made her so insecure she would go all the way.""Let's shake her up a little with this." I said staring at my phone before replaying the voice note."Isn't it too early to confront her? What if it goes down south?" A voice said in my head. "While it's still early, time is not on my side. With the way the company's shares have been plummeting since I took over, it's just a matter of time before those punch of greedy people start discussing my impeachment.""I'm in no position to consider the timing, even if it's just a straw, I have to grap it tightly with both hands and figure out a way to survive."I stood up and headed to her room with a victorious smile. "Let's see how she would react."I knocked twice on the door, taking a

SARAYA'S POV.I walked in feeling exhausted, at this point, there was no more tears coming out from my eyes.Gabby who had been waiting quickly rushed to me. "You gave me quite a scare, you wouldn't pick your phone..." She was saying when she finally looked up and saw my face. "Oh my, what happened?"I sank into her arms. "I hurt him, Gabby. I did."Gabby wrapped her arms around me, her grip firm and reassuring. "Who did you hurt?" she asked gently, stroking my hair."Dominic," I whispered, my voice hoarse. "He—he told me again he had feelings for me, and I... I couldn’t give him what he wanted."Gabby sighed, pulling back slightly to look me in the eyes. "Saraya, it’s not your fault. You can’t force yourself to love someone just because they love you.""But he’s been nothing but good to me," I said, my voice breaking. "He was there when I needed someone, when I was at my lowest. And instead of appreciating him the way he deserves, I—""You were honest," Gabby interrupted. "And that’s

SARAYA'S POV."Dominic, ever since I met you, you've been a good person and friend to me. I wouldn't want to jeopardize our friendship.""What are you scared of?" He asked."I'm scared of everything!" I snapped. "Letting someone new in and being vulnerable to them is something I don't want to do anytime soon.""I think it's time you let go.""What?" I asked like I didn't hear him the first time."I said it's time you let go of your obsession with Arlan." He said firmly, making me nervous. "He is never going to be yours, he is expecting a child with Matilda and if my memory serves me correctly, she should put to bed anytime from now."The realization in his words made my heart go cold. Dominic must've noticed how his words got to me but he didn't stop."Are you really going to stand between a father and a child because of your obsession?" He added.I felt the sting of his words like a slap across my face. Obsession? Is that what he thought this was?I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my
