As Rachel and her mother strolled down the road that led to their personal house, she noticed that Sophia's car was parked outside the gate. She was probably inside waiting for them to return.Her mother, Amanda pushed the door open and they walked into their apartment. Sophia rose to her feet and hugged both of them before Amanda strolled to her room to take a nap. "How did the meeting with your father go?""It went well, even though he tried so hard to be strong but anyone could see he was devastated and heartbroken by everything we revealed to him" Rachel answered. Sophia swept her gaze over Rachel as she moved to settle on a sofa. "Take a look at yourself, you look so lovesick. Anyone who catches a glimpse of you would think you just got a divorce."Rachel closed her eyes briefly. She hated the way she had been feeling lately, it was like her mind wanted to believe at all cost that George was innocent, that he didn't know anything about what his father did to her family. She miss
"Breakfast is ready, Mr George" A petite middle-aged maid called out and walked away. George quickly put on a dark blue t-shirt getting ready to head to the dining hall to eat breakfast with Rachel.Rachel….George sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. She was acting cold to him again, before he woke up, she was already dressed, heading downstairs. She was back to her 'new' self, giving him cold distant replies and avoiding his gaze.Was she trying to say that last night meant nothing to her? Did she really not like him anymore? He didn't know what to think anymore. She was not saying anything to him about what could be wrong. It seemed like she wanted to just handle everything all by herself. And here he was, not knowing if the cause of her anger was him or something else.Four months….They had four months left before their one year marriage contract came to an end. The thought of it made him weak. Did she really plan to end it with him? What would he do if she actually left? But
Morris Scott paced around for a moment, still unable to relax. His heart was beating so fast he was sure anyone beside could hear it. If his guess was right and the detective, Sophia, was the hacker from 'outside' this villa, didn't that also mean that George was the one from 'inside'?Morris shook his head and sighed, could it be Rachel? Does it mean that George didn't pay attention to the warning he gave? Would he really choose to destroy his own father over the father of his wife?It wasn't even a 'real' marriage, he was going to find a way to dissolve their union immediately the one year is over. But before then, he had to find a way to call George and Rachel to order…Surely, they probably had the evidence by now. He wondered what they would do with the 'truth' they had discovered.Morris glanced up at the sound of the door opening and caught sight of Judith as she walked over to where he stood."You look like you're about to be thrown inside a sea of whales" Judith muttered as s
Judith swallowed hard, her palms became sweaty as it dawned on her what just happened. She didn't mean to reveal that, she was so angry, her tongue had slipped.And now, she had to toughen up and take Morris's anger in its full force. She relaxed her body slowly, calming herself. No matter what Morris said, it wouldn't change anything.Her initial plan five years ago was to kill George and end him completely. Seeing him walk over to the podium to officially sign the 'new CEO' documents made her fume in rage, her chest tightening from jealousy….And not just that, but seeing the blissful smile on Patricia's face when he was announced as the new CEO of Imperial Hub Limited, hearing the crowd of investors and business associates applaud and congratulate him filled her with rage.After everything she had 'waited' for, after coming this far, all she had was a 'mistress' tag to her name, daily receiving scorn and malicious comments from other elite women in the company. She was never up to
…..Then what would be the point of getting rid of Arthur Reeves years ago?…Of getting this company from Patricia by pretending to love her?…..Yes, I did it! I am the one behind George's accident. I don't regret my actions!Patricia was sure her heart beat stopped as those words echoed out of the laptop in front of her. Nanny Juliet had planted the recorder in Morris's library just as she had instructed. She decided this morning to finally listen to what was going on in his office and here she was, shaking in shock from what she just discovered.Patricia clutched her chest as the tears of anguish fell from her eyes. Where did she even start from? To think that Morris was the one behind Arthur Reeves jail term all along….What a monster!! An innocent man was thrown in jail for ten years. Ten whole years!! Just because of his jealousy and greed. Going so far to fabricate a lie against a man who just wanted to take care of his family! Morris destroyed Arthur's family, his livelihood, ev
"It's good to see you again, sir" Rachel lifted her hand to shake Mr Anderson's hand as they stood in the main library of the villa. "Please, have a seat""How have you been, Patricia?" He asked as he adjusted comfortably on a chair."I have been fine, thanks for asking" Rachel leaned closer "What brings you here?""Concerning our last conversation, I wanted to know how far you have gone with your investigation. Personally, I have noticed some strange things recently""Strange? That definitely got my attention" Rachel muttered and they both laughed. "What have you noticed?""Do you remember when I told you that there was someone I suspected in this company regarding your father's case?""Yes, I remember it clearly" Rachel nodded in approval."To be honest, the person I was talking about back then is Morris Scott"Rachel gasped, almost choking on her saliva. She was sure her heart missed a beat, she didn't expect him to say that. She already knew the truth but it was surprising to know
Rachel stood up and watched as Mr Anderson walked away from the library. She had felt so nervous talking to him, how could she open her mouth to tell him that she didn't know what to do from this moment? Wouldn't it make her look unserious?It was so strange to be involved in a case like this. In the movies, they made it look so easy — like all you had to do was just find the guilty person, open a court case, win the court case and take the person to jail. But in real life, it was completely different. Sometimes it worked just like the movies but sometimes, just like her own case, it was completely different.What do you do when you are worth almost nothing and you're going against someone who was in charge of a multibillion dollar company? What do you do when you are married to the son of that person and you're not sure if that person would choose to save his family instead of doing the right thing? Who would want to destroy their own family?It really didn't always work like the mov
"So, are you trying to say that this evidence I have is not enough to open a court case against him?" Sophia asked the middle-aged female lawyer sitting in front of her, a small round table between them.She cast a short glance around the large restaurant where she was. She had purposely picked a table towards the hidden part of the restaurant so she wouldn't easily be noticed. As she turned her eyes back to her lawyer friend, she took note of the two strange looking muscular men sitting about six tables away from her.She had noticed them ever since they walked in, it was almost like they had been following her, stalking her. Sophia wasn't sure yet but her guts told her she was on to something."That's not what I mean, Sophia" the lawyer answered "I have heard about Morris Scott and I know the type of person he is. I have an affiliation with another lawyer who has handled some law cases for his company. I can tell you one thing; he is a ruthless man, ready to fight for what he wants
