A month later, an eye-catching couple who seemed to be in love appeared at Athenapolis International Airport. Both of them were wearing humongous sunglasses that covered up half their faces. Despite that, one could still tell that God had spent more time on them, having blessed them with striking good looks.The two of them stood out among the crowds, and at first glance, everyone had to agree they were made for each other. However, if they were to look closer, they could tell there was a different story.It had to do with the mismatched postures and the vibe they were radiating. The woman had her arm around the man's arm, but the man could not even straighten his back to stand upright, which was a waste for such a handsome face.Nancy noticed that too, and she quietly tugged on 'Yaacob's' sleeve to remind him to stand upright. Since they were back in Athenapolis, they had to be on guard because they ran the risk of being recognized by other people at any time.Alas! They could nev
"I don't know the specific details. All I knew was Randall was on an important mission, and he made a mistake. That offended a group of shady people. I was told these people were ruthless, and they launched several deadly pursuits against Randall. There came a time when he was exhausted and beaten, and finally, they got him when he was down. We lost track of him then," answered Lola with consternation."Losing track of him does not mean he was killed! Why did you assume he was killed?" questioned Nancy."That's because one of his men who made it back said the people after him had their heart set on killing him, no matter the cost! Randall lost all his men, except the one who came back. He died too, two days later with injuries too horrendous to describe. Not to mention Randall was shot amidst the chaos, and was in a critical condition.""How long had Randall gone missing?""Ten days. This is the tenth day we have not heard from him," replied Lola.Things were really bad. After all
In the end, Nancy decided to stay where Benjamin had prepared for her. That was because she felt something off about Yaacob. Nancy would be in grave danger if Yaacob had really escaped before the virus was removed from his system. After all, she had plotted against him, and he would definitely want to take revenge on her.Benjamin was thrilled that Nancy decided to stay with him. He was so happy that he even put off his work and canceled all of his meetings to spend time with her. They were spending time like any ordinary father and daughter would.At that moment, they were having tea while playing chess. Nancy was not very good at chess, and she lost almost every game."Nancy, the key to playing chess is to focus and keep your cool. Think three steps ahead and take three steps backward to see the bigger picture. If you are distracted and rush your choices without thinking them through, you'd end up being ensnared by traps, even the obvious ones."Hearing this, Nancy then realized
"You should ask Yaacob that, not me. How would I know?" replied Randall.Love was inherently a very subjective matter, and most times, the influence of hormones made it even more uncontrollable. Who could say for sure when it will decrease and eventually dissipate over time?Randall would have won over Rowena a long time ago if he could make a person fall in love or out of love through medical means. "However, I give you my assurance that it's safe for you to go back with him. I've already explained to him what happened, and he made it clear to me that he understood the circumstances," said Randall reassuringly.With Randall's pledge, Nancy went back with Yaacob.However, she was having all sorts of second thoughts when they were in the car. Suddenly, Yaacob reached for her hand and placed it on his thigh while he was driving. That managed to calm Nancy down.When they had reached home, Yaacob stopped the car. Suddenly, he reached over and kissed Nancy on the lips. It had been t
It was the time when the competition for the election was the most intense. At the moment, Benjamin had the most number of votes. If word got out that he had an illegitimate daughter, then, just as his opponents were worried that they did not have leverage against him, his image, which he had cultivated for so many years, would crumble.Benjamin was an incredibly popular figure among the voters. As he was viewed as equal to a god, there was no way his supporters would be able to stomach the news of him having a daughter as old as Nancy before he was even married.So, when Benjamin said that, Nancy's first reaction was disbelief. She could not believe that such a calm and collected man would do something that seemed completely reckless.She never expected that Benjamin would actually do it.He had brought her up on stage in the middle of the square. In front of the many supporters who adored him, he announced that Nancy was his long-lost daughter.A few key Getson Corporation figur
Rosa quickly found a secluded spot and called Nancy back."Hey, Nancy. Why did you send that photo to me? Are you trying to mess with me?""I got that photo in my email. If I wanted to mess with you, I wouldn't have bothered giving you a call.""Even though I never liked you, I've always taken Yaacob into account. If you dare leak that photo and ruin my reputation, be ready to be kicked out of the Getson family. Let's see if Yaacob will abandon his own sister for you."Nancy was quite impressed with how Rosa's mind worked. Why was she being threatened when she was just trying to help Rosa out?No wonder Rosa never managed to get popular after so many years of being in the industry. Not only did she lack the right temperament, she was too stupid to amount to anything. Who would waste their efforts on her?However, since Nancy was doing this for Yaaocb, she patiently explained, "I don't like you either, but we're still family. If something like this got out and ruined the reputatio
"When did I ask you to publish this?""You asked Ms. Meren to tell us to make it today's headline.""You said that Meren told you to?"Meren was Nancy's assistant and one of the ones who had helped her the most when she had taken over the company. Meren was also one of Spencer's old employees…Nancy was startled. "Where is she?""That's weird. I haven't seen her. Ms. Meren is usually the most hardworking of us, so why isn't she here today?""Give her a call. Make sure you find her.""Ms. Lawson, Ms. Meren's phone is off.""Then find her address."After that, Nancy went to Meren's home but found that she had moved.There was a note left on the table.'I'm sorry!' was all it read.It seemed like Meren was actually the one who had done it. She was the only one who could have gotten the photos from Nancy's email and the only one who could have released the news under Nancy's name.Why had she done that?When Yaacob had handed Nancy the company, he had told her that Meren was
The second day after Rosa's photos were exposed, Nancy finally managed to get through to Yaacob.It was still morning where he was. Yaacob had received the news when he woke and that was why he had answered the call."Yaacob, did you see the news?""Yes."Yaacob answered, but it was hard to tell if there was any emotion behind his voice."I'm sorry." Nancy had not even apologized to Rosa but she would to Yaacob.She felt like she had nothing wrong. She had deleted the photos, and the news had not been released by her. Nancy had never had any intention of harming Rosa.She apologized because Yaacob could not handle the matter while he was overseas. Nancy blamed herself for not handling their family matters well while he was gone!Rosa was still Yaacob's sister. Something like this happening would definitely not make him happy."It was Meren, right? I already have my men looking for her."It seemed like, even though Yaacob was overseas, he still knew everything about the situat
