That night, Leah received a call from Lorenzo, the private investigator Richard had hired."Hello Mr. Richard, I have some updates on the accident investigation," Lorenzo said.Leah’s heart raced. "What did you find?""Ooh, Mrs. Leah. There’s a lead we need to follow up on. It’s not conclusive, but it’s a start. I think it’s best if we meet in person to discuss the details along with Mr. Richard," Lorenzo explained."Alright. When can we meet?" Leah asked."How about tomorrow morning? My office, 10: 00 AM?" Lorenzo suggested."Sounds good. We'll be there tomorrow," Leah agreed.After hanging up, Leah felt a mix of apprehension and hope. She shared the news with Richard, who agreed to go with her to Lorenzo's office tomorrow.The next morning, they arrived at Lorenzo’s office, a small but professional space in the heart of the city. Lorenzo greeted them warmly and ushered them into his office."Thank you for coming," Lorenzo said, sitting down behind his desk. "I’ve been looking into t
Richie was fully recovered and had been going to the office for a few days. Waking up that morning, there had been rumors about him everywhere. It's been going on for a few days but today it became a worst-case scenario. The initial meeting with the clients was postponed to two weeks later..Meanwhile Richie sat in his office, staring at the array of papers scattered across his desk. His mind was a million miles away, lost in thoughts of Leah and their relationship so far. It had been a whirlwind, since the accident, and despite the challenges, he felt happier than he had in years. But today was not about work; it was about facing a conversation he had been dreading.His phone buzzed, pulling him back to reality. It was a reminder of the family video call scheduled in fifteen minutes. Richie sighed, leaning back in his chair. He knew this conversation was inevitable, but that didn’t make it any easier. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leo, had been pushing for this call ever since word go
The next few days were beaming with activities. Lorenzo worked tirelessly with law enforcement, providing them with the evidence needed to build a case against Williams. Leah and Richard gave their statements, recounting everything they had learned.One evening, Richard received a call from a detective, the officer in charge of the case. “Mr. Richard, we’ve made an arrest. Mr. Williams is in custody, thanks to the evidence you and Lorenzo provided.”“That’s incredible news, Detective. Thank you”.Mr. Williams' schemes were exposed and caught up. His family is in tears, especially Gracy. Gracy had to go on her knees to beg Richard for her father's mistake. Reminding him of their relationship although it wasn't that affectionate or sweet but they shared a ring and promised to leave him alone. "Show mercy to her father".. Gracy begged."It was all my fault that he went too far. I am sure he regrets it now, please. I promised to move on, my family will move on and never disturb you or y
Dazzle sits on the couch, running his hands through his hair, staring at the wall in front of him. The room is dimly lit, and the atmosphere is tense. One of his numerous girlfriends, Kimberly, enters the room, looking pale and uneasy.He had been spending numerous nights with Kimberly, always protected but a night during their make out, unknowingly the condom had burst. They arrived at the hospital and ran multiple tests.Kimberly had collected the result and found out she was pregnant.Kimberly(softly) "Dazzle, we need to talk".Dazzle(sighing) "Yeah, I know. Sit down. What did the doctor say?"Kimberly sits down next to him, her hands trembling slightly."I’m pregnant, Dazzle"... she replied. Dazzle's face goes pale. He looks at Kimberly in shock. Her case is a bit different because she was liked by Dazzle.Dazzle: Pregnant? But... but we’ve always used protection. How is this possible?Kimberly (nodding) I know, but the doctor said the condom must have burst. It only takes one t
Dazzle drifted off to sleep just immediately lying down on the couch. With a slight shallow snore due to cold and alcohol influence.The next day was the weekend…As he woke up, he knew his brother was still sleeping or probably busy. He told one of the maids he was going and to let Richie and Leah know when they woke up.His mother's call had woken him up to tell him about a meeting with his dad including herself and he should be ready by 7:00pm. "It's about you and your future, Dazzle. Don't miss it".. she warned.Dazzle had spent the day in a haze, nervously anticipating the evening call from his parents. He hadn't yet found the courage to tell them about Kimberly's pregnancy, and now they wanted to discuss his future. He paced back and forth in his apartment, glancing occasionally at the clock. The second hand seemed to mock him, moving slowly yet too quickly at the same time.As the clock struck 7 PM, his phone rang, the familiar ringtone adding to his anxiety. He took a deep br
That night, Dazzle had called Kimberly to inform her about going for a DNA test. Which she accepted to go with him.The following day, Dazzle sat in the sterile, white waiting room of the clinic, his leg bouncing with nervous energy. Kimberly was beside him, her face a mask of calm, though he knew she was just as anxious as he was. The results of the DNA test were supposed to be ready soon, and the weight of the impending news sat heavy on both of them."You okay?" Dazzle asked."As okay as I can be, given the circumstances."... Kimberly replied.Dazzle reached out, taking her hand in his. She squeezed it, a silent acknowledgment of their shared tension."Mr. Dazzle, Ms. Kim, the doctor will see you now.".. the nurse said.They stood and followed the receptionist down a hallway lined with motivational posters about health and wellness. Dazzle couldn’t help but feel the irony of it all. Here he was, waiting to find out if he was about to become a father, walking past posters that chee
Emily sat at the kitchen table, her hands wrapped around a mug of tea that had long gone cold. She stared at the empty space, gathering her thoughts. The house was quiet, the calm after the storm of yet another argument with Alex. She knew things couldn’t go on like this. She needed to talk to him, really talk, and find a way to make things right.As if on cue, Alex walked into the kitchen, rubbing his temples. He looked as tired as she felt."Hey."...Alex said to her, walking towards the fridge."Hey. Can we talk?"Alex sighed, but he pulled out a chair and sat down across from her."Yeah, we need to."Emily took a deep breath, her heart pounding. She had rehearsed this conversation in her head a hundred times, but now that it was happening, she felt unprepared."Alex, I’m tired of all the quarrels. I know we’ve been through a lot, and I’ve made mistakes. I just want us to live peacefully. The silent treatments are really getting worse. I am truly tired."Alex raised an eyebrow, lean
Lucian's wife had gone into labour.He paced the hallway outside the delivery room, his heart racing with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Every few minutes, he glanced at his watch, willing time to move faster. He had been waiting for this moment for months, and now it was finally here. The door to the delivery room opened, and a nurse stepped out, smiling warmly."Congratulations, Mr. Lucian. You have a healthy baby girl."... Nurse, smiling at him.Lucian felt his heart swell with joy and relief. He followed the nurse into the room, where his wife, Gemini, lay holding their newborn daughter. The sight of them filled him with an overwhelming sense of love and pride."Gemini, she's perfect."Gemini looked up, her eyes shining with tears of happiness."She really is, isn’t she? Meet your daughter, Lucian."Lucian gently took the baby into his arms, gazing down at her tiny face. She had Gemini's eyes and a tuft of dark hair that promised to be just like his."Hello, my little princess.
