I will tell her when the right time comes," Lucas said, leaving a reassuring smile."I guess he's right, and I also think you should place strict warnings on her teachers. They shouldn't allow strangers to see her. She might trace her school," Kingsley said, and they both nodded."Thanks, Kingsley, I was busy getting ready for everything ahead, but I didn't even think about that. I was so stupid. I will call her school right now," Lucas said, and they nodded in agreement. Sophia looks worried. After passing a call across to Ava's school, he took a deep breath."We can go now," he said, and they all headed to the garage."I think I should get going, I can find my way," Kingsley said, but Lucas hesitated."I will drop you off, so you've got to come with us." He said this and gave Sophia a look, indirectly telling her to convince him. She smiled and fa

We needed to stay one step ahead of those people and keep running. "I thought you were smart, but all you know how to do is open your big mouth with your empty brain. Do you think I'll risk her life for anything?" I retorted, clearing my throat. "What's your plan? Let me hear it," he asked. Thank God he was willing to listen, though he was still a fool. "Do you think they wouldn't find another way to catch up with us if we didn't show up? But they can't harm Sophia. We can stand out and attack them unknowingly. You can finally get rid of Emma without killing her. I know you really wanted to kill her, so we can turn this back on her, and she’ll be sent to jail. Mrs. Logan can still go with her. But if she doesn't, we can deal with her later," I said, scoffing. "That sucks. It seems l

And if you have any doubts or questions, I'm always available to answer them," Leon continued, trying to reassure the shareholders. The shareholders seemed to be collectively taken aback by the sudden change in Lucas's demeanor. However, they didn't bring up the topic of Lucas's supposed hospitalization again. Instead, they went straight into discussing the company's future plans. Leon quickly realized that the shareholders' concerns weren't entirely unfounded. There were a few areas where the company was lacking, and some crucial partnerships were on the verge of collapsing. But Leon was determined to turn things around. He used his vast knowledge of the industry and his expertise in strategic planning to convince the shareholders that the company was on track for long-term success. He also assured them that despite his recent health scare, he was fully committed to th
At the hospitalElena stood up from her seat and took a deep breath. The dimly lit hospital waiting room felt eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of a nurse's footsteps or the distant beep of a heart monitor filling the air. The scent of antiseptic lingered, adding to the somber atmosphere. As she headed towards the doctor's office, her nerves began to fray. Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was racing with anxiety. She couldn't believe she was about to do this, but she knew it was the only way. When she entered the doctor's office, she didn't bother with greeting pleasantries. She simply sat down in the chair across from him and placed her bag on the table. She pulled out a check and slid it towards him. The doctor's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he read the amount. It was a substantial sum, and he couldn't understand why Elena would offer it to him. "Please, what is this check for?" he asked, his gaze meeting hers. Elena took a deep breath before answering, determina

She observed the group's movements and body language, the tension between Leon and Adam causing a palpable discomfort in the cramped emergency ward. The hospital's harsh lighting glared off the walls, casting shadows on the faces of the people in the room, accentuating the weight of their expressions. The smell of disinfectant lingered in the air, almost suffocating at times, as hospital personnel moved around them, working to save lives. Sophia's heart tumbled in her chest as she watched the actions of her friends. She wished she could intervene and alleviate the situation, to restore the peace that they all needed. But she kept quiet, knowing that one wrong move could spark further tension. Though she remained silent, her gaze flitted from person to person, studying their body language and facial expressions. She took in each detail, trying to understand the weight of the situation. "Because I am t
