I sat in the police station waiting room, my hands shaking with anger and fear. I couldn't believe what had happened. My ex-husband Tiger had narrowly escaped being killed by his own cousin, Simon. The same Simon who had always seemed so friendly and harmless.But now, as I sat there waiting to file my complaint, I knew that Simon was neither friendly nor harmless. He had come after Tiger with a knife, and only through sheer luck had Tiger managed to escape with his life. I knew I had to do something to protect Tiger and myself.As I sat there, waiting for my turn to speak with the police, I replayed the events of the night over and over again in my mind. Tiger had come over to my apartment for dinner, and we had spent a pleasant evening catching up on old times. But as we were getting ready to leave, Simon had shown up at my door.At first, I had been happy to see him. After all, he was Tiger's cousin and had always been kind to me. But then, he had pulled out a knife and lunged at T
Simon paced nervously in his office, sweat dripping down his forehead as he tried to come up with a plan. He had orchestrated a horrific accident that had left his cousin Tiger in a coma, but he knew that he couldn't be tied to it. He needed a scapegoat, someone to take the blame for what he had done.As he pondered his options, his eyes fell on a framed photograph on his desk of Tiger and his ex-wife Christiana. A wicked grin spread across his face as an idea formed in his mind. Christiana was already hated by most of the family for her involvement in Tiger's previous divorce, so it wouldn't be too difficult to convince them that she was responsible for this latest tragedy.Simon quickly got to work, spreading rumors about Christiana's alleged involvement in the accident. He contacted the local media, anonymously tipping them off about a potential scandal involving Tiger's ex-wife. He even went as far as to plant false evidence at the scene of the accident, making it look like Christ
Christiana sat nervously in the courtroom, her heart racing with fear and uncertainty. She knew that she was innocent of the charges laid against her, but the weight of the false accusations still felt heavy on her shoulders. As the judge called for the proceedings to begin, Christiana tried to gather her composure and prepare for what was to come.The prosecutor started by painting a vivid picture of Christiana as a cold-hearted killer who had plotted to murder her own husband. He presented circumstantial evidence that seemed to implicate her in the crime, and he portrayed her as a cunning and manipulative woman who was capable of such a heinous act.Christiana knew that this was not the truth. She loved her husband deeply and had never even entertained the thought of harming him. But as she listened to the prosecutor's words, she realized that the burden of proving her innocence would be a difficult one.When it was her turn to speak, Christiana stood up and looked the jury directly
Christiana paced back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital, her heart racing with worry for Tiger. He had been in a terrible accident, and she didn't know if he was going to make it. As she looked around the room, she saw his family members gathered there, but there was one person who was notably absent - Simon.Simon was Tiger's cousin, and once upon a time, he was Christiana's boyfriend. But things had gone sour between them, and they had parted ways. Christiana had heard that Simon was the one who had caused Tiger's accident, and she couldn't believe that he could do something like that.As she sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room, Christiana's mind went back to the time she had spent with Simon. They had been in love once, but things had changed when he had become possessive and controlling. She had ended things with him, and it had been a painful experience for both of them.But now, with Tiger's life hanging in the balance, Christiana couldn't help but wond
Christiana had spent countless hours at the hospital, making sure that all of Tiger's paperwork was in order. She had been his ex-wife for a while now, but she couldn't bear to see him in such a helpless state. She had been there by his side through thick and thin, and this accident was no exception.As she stood in the hospital room, watching Tiger sleep peacefully, she made up her mind. She wasn't going to let him go back to his home, where he would be alone and vulnerable. Instead, she was going to take him back to her own home.It wasn't a decision that she had made lightly. Christiana knew that it would be difficult to have Tiger back in her life on a permanent basis, but she was willing to do whatever it took to make it work. She had missed him, missed the way he made her feel, and missed the life they had built together.When Tiger finally woke up, Christiana was there to greet him. She helped him out of bed and into a wheelchair, and they made their way out of the hospital. As
Christiana sat nervously in the plush waiting room of the hospital, fidgeting with the hem of her dress. She had been waiting for hours for news on Tiger's condition. Her heart ached for him, knowing that he was in pain and that she couldn't do anything to help him. But she couldn't deny the feeling of hope that was growing in her chest.It had been years since their divorce, and they had gone their separate ways. But seeing Tiger in the hospital bed had made her realize that she still loved him. And as she sat there, waiting for news, she couldn't help but think about all the good times they had shared.The accident had been a wake-up call for her. She realized that life was too short to hold grudges and that she wanted to be there for Tiger. She wanted to take care of him and make sure that he was okay. And most of all, she wanted to be his wife again.As the hours passed, Christiana's mind raced with thoughts of how to approach Tiger with her proposal. She knew that he might not be
Tiger stood at the altar, his heart beating wildly as he waited for Christiana to make her way down the aisle. It had been years since they had last been married, and the thought of being with her again made him feel like he was on top of the world.The setting was perfect, with only their closest friends and family in attendance. There were no paparazzi or media, just pure happiness and joy. The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow over the entire scene, and the scent of freshly cut flowers wafted through the air.As Christiana made her way down the aisle, Tiger couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful she looked. Her dress was simple, yet elegant, and her hair cascaded down her back in soft curls.When she reached him at the altar, he took her hand and looked deep into her eyes. "I love you," he whispered, and she smiled back at him.The ceremony was simple, yet meaningful, and as they exchanged their vows, Tiger knew in his heart that he would never let her go again. They had b
Christiana and Tiger walked into the grand entrance of The Kelvin, Tiger's office building, hand in hand. As they entered, they were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The employees of The Kelvin who were present in the lobby area immediately recognized the couple and greeted them with genuine happiness."Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Kelvin! It's so good to see you both," said the receptionist with a smile."Good morning!" replied Christiana, returning the smile.The couple made their way to the elevator, and as they rode up to Tiger's office on the top floor, they were greeted by more employees who were thrilled to see them. They exchanged pleasantries and even got a few hugs along the way.When they reached Tiger's office, Christiana was impressed by the grandeur of the space. The office was spacious and elegantly decorated. There were large windows that provided a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The furniture was made of rich wood, and there was a large, comfortable
The warm summer breeze rustled through the trees outside the porch, where Christiana and Tiger sat together on their favorite wooden swing. They watched as their daughter Stella, a recent college graduate, sat across from them, her eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. It was time for a heart-to-heart conversation about her future goals.Christiana gently clasped Tiger's hand and smiled at Stella. "My dear, we've been so proud of you for graduating alongside your brothers, Robert and Gabriel. Your journey has just begun, and we want to know what you're thinking for the near future."Stella's gaze shifted from her parents to the horizon, as if searching for answers in the distance. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Well, Mom, Dad, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. College has opened my eyes to countless possibilities, and I want to make the most of them."Tiger nodded, encouraging Stella to continue. "That's wonderful, Stella. You have so much po
Robert's heart raced as he watched Alena walk across the college campus. Her radiant smile lit up the surroundings, captivating everyone who caught a glimpse of her. They had been classmates from the very beginning, sharing countless moments of laughter and learning together. But now, as they stood on the precipice of graduation, Robert's feelings for Alena had taken an unexpected turn, blossoming into something more profound and intense.Every time he saw her, his heart skipped a beat. Her enchanting eyes, her infectious laughter, and her kind-hearted nature had woven themselves into the fabric of his existence. Yet, he couldn't find the courage to tell her how he felt. The fear of rejection and the potential loss of their friendship held him back, leaving him trapped in a bittersweet limbo.As the days passed, a heavy cloud of melancholy settled over Robert. The knowledge that Alena would be leaving for London soon, pursuing her dreams and carving her path in life, intensified his i
The sun shone brightly over the charming town of Meadowbrook, where the lives of Christiana, Tiger, Helen, Simon, Lucy, and Abraham had unfolded. The passing of time had woven new stories into the fabric of their lives, and now, 25 years later, their children had grown into remarkable individuals.Stella Kelvin, the daughter of Christiana and Tiger, had inherited her mother's grace and her father's determination. Her golden curls cascaded down her shoulders, framing a face that exuded both intelligence and kindness. Stella had always been curious about the world, constantly seeking new adventures to embark upon. At the age of 26, she had just returned from a research expedition to the Amazon rainforest, where she had been studying the diverse flora and fauna.Gabriel Kelvin, son of Helen and Simon, possessed his father's sharp intellect and his mother's warm heart. His deep-set hazel eyes mirrored the depths of his compassion and his fiery spirit. A talented artist, Gabriel had forged
Christiana sat on the couch, gazing out of the window with a wistful expression. Her fingers traced absentminded patterns on the armrest, her thoughts consumed by the absence of her brother-in-law Simon and his wife, Helen. The couple had recently moved into their new home across town, and though Christiana should have been happy for their new beginnings, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart.Beside her, Tiger, her loving husband, noticed her melancholy and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. They had always been a close-knit family, and the sudden void left by Simon and Helen's absence was hard to ignore. Christiana turned to meet Tiger's gaze, her eyes filled with longing."Tiger," she sighed, "I miss them so much. Our house feels incomplete without them."Tiger nodded understandingly. He too missed the lively presence of their beloved family members. The house seemed quieter, the laughter less frequent, and the familiar warmth that Simon and Helen brou
Christiana woke up with a sense of excitement tingling through her veins. It was the day she had been eagerly awaiting—the day she and her husband, Tiger, would take her brother, Abraham, shopping for his engagement. Abraham and his girlfriend, Lucy, had decided to take their relationship to the next level and were planning to get engaged in just a few weeks' time.As she prepared breakfast, Christiana's mind raced with ideas of what Abraham and Lucy's engagement could be like. She envisioned a beautiful garden party, adorned with twinkling lights and vibrant flowers, where family and friends would come together to celebrate their love. The thought brought a smile to her face as she poured steaming coffee into two mugs.Tiger joined her at the breakfast table, his eyes still heavy with sleep. But Christiana knew that beneath his grogginess, he shared her excitement. They had always been a team, supporting each other through life's ups and downs. Today was no different, as they would h
The soft glow of the fireplace cast a warm and inviting light throughout the cozy living room, where Christiana and Tiger sat together, sipping their evening tea. The crackling of the logs in the hearth provided a soothing background melody as they settled into their favorite armchairs. The events of the day had given rise to a topic of discussion that had been lingering in their minds, weighing on their hearts. Abraham and his recent marriage.Christiana's eyes were fixed on the dancing flames as she spoke, her voice laced with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "Tiger, have you ever thought about Abraham's marriage? It feels like such a sudden and unexpected turn of events. I can't help but wonder if he made the right decision."Tiger leaned back, his brow furrowing in contemplation. He took a deep breath before responding, his voice filled with empathy. "I've pondered the same, my love. Abraham has always been independent, following his own path, unyielding to the expectations of
Christiana stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her dress and smoothing down her hair. She couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her chest. Today was a special day—it was her brother Abraham's birthday, and she and Tiger had planned a surprise party for him. Abraham had come to stay with them for a few days, and Christiana wanted to make his visit memorable.In the living room, the sound of laughter and chatter filled the air as Tiger welcomed the guests. They had invited a small group of close friends and family to celebrate Abraham's special day. The room was adorned with colorful balloons and streamers, and a long table was set up with delicious snacks and treats.Christiana glanced at the clock and realized it was almost time to reveal the surprise. She took a deep breath and walked out of her room, making her way downstairs. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, the guests erupted into cheers and applause."Surprise!" they shouted in unison, and Christiana could
Tiger paced back and forth in the grand living room of the Kelvin palace, his mind racing with worry and frustration. Christiana, his wife, watched him with a heavy heart. They both knew that their family was on the verge of yet another painful split. Simon and Helen, Christiana's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, had made the difficult decision to leave the Kelvin business empire, driven by a deep sense of disappointment and resentment.The root of the problem lay in Tiger's denial of Simon's long-awaited promotion. Simon had dedicated six months of hard work and unwavering loyalty to the Kelvin business. He firmly believed that he deserved recognition for his efforts and a chance to prove himself in a higher position. However, despite his qualifications and capabilities, the higher authorities had refused to acknowledge his potential.Christiana reached out and gently touched Tiger's arm, attempting to calm his inner turmoil. "Tiger, I understand that family dynamics can be complica
Christiana sat in her favorite armchair in the living room, a cup of steaming tea in her hands. The sound of raindrops tapping against the windowpane provided a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. It had been a long day, and she was looking forward to a quiet evening at home.Her attention was momentarily interrupted by the distant sound of the front door closing. She recognized the voices of her sister-in-law, Helen, and her brother-in-law, Tiger. Curiosity piqued, Christiana put her cup down and discreetly positioned herself closer to the open doorway, hoping to catch snippets of their conversation.Tiger's voice was low, tinged with frustration. "I don't understand why Simon isn't happy. He's only been with us for a few months, and already he's expecting a higher position. It's not fair."Christiana's heart skipped a beat. Simon, Tiger's cousin, had joined Tiger's office after his own business had gone bankrupt. Initially, Christiana had been relieved to hear that Simon was finding
