Godfather’s POV

I sat on my balcony, reading a newspaper, even though Alex had often pointed out that I could get any news I wanted on my phone. But I still enjoyed the old, musty scent of newspapers and wasn't ready to give up on them anytime soon.

Speaking of Alex, she had greatly disappointed me. She was always focused and dedicated towards any job I assigned to her. Why did she have to lose focus on the most important thing I desired?

My phone rang, and it was Bernice, Alex's mother. I sighed because I knew she was calling to complain about why I had sent her daughter abroad.

I answered, and I was met with a tearful voice. "Zach, what did I ever do to you for you to punish me like this? Do you hate me so much?"

I sighed, not prepared for her emotional manipulation. "Good day, Bernice."

"What's so good about the day? Tell me, what's good about it? You exiled my daughter abroad, and now I can't even see her anymore," Bernice cried out over the phone.

I am not sure it's ideal for the occasion."George was taking me out to a fancy place. Other than business parties, it had been a while since we had been on a date. I appreciated his effort to rekindle our love, and it made me feel special."The other dresses you chose are too conservative, and I genuinely love how you look in the green gown," George insisted as he helped me decide on an outfit for our outing."Alright, I will wear the green dress and take a jacket with me if I start to feel uncomfortable," I finally conceded and put on the gown.George had finally accepted Abigail as our live-in maid, which excited me.

    Patrick’s POVI got ready to meet Sebastain at the new bar he had invited me to. The board meeting had taken longer than expected, and I arrived home a bit late after another business meeting with some clients.If I hadn't promised Sebastain that I would come to the bar, I might have chosen to just stay home and rest. I drove to the bar and found Sebastain inside. It was a well-designed place, divided into different sections.The downstairs was lively, with people enjoying drinks and loud music, while the upstairs was the VIP section. Sebastain had invited me to the VIP section, knowing that this was more my style.Surprisingly, the VIP section was quiet, with no loud noise and soft background music playing. “How is this place so quiet while the downstairs looks like a club house?” I asked Sebastian immediately I arrived.He laughed and explained, "I think the door is soundproof or something. It's all part of the 'mystic' encounters."Curious, I asked, "So, what's unique about this p

I stood in between them, trying to understand the situation.Patrick, initially bewildered, quickly turned angry. "You! You ran away when they were looking for you to testify on the day Daniel died, didn't you?" He tried to move closer to the waitress, but I held him back, concerned about his anger."Patrick, calm down," I urged. "Is this the lady who was supposed to be with you the night Daniel died and was meant to be your alibi?"Patrick confirmed, "Yes, this is Rose."I asked Rose, "How could you do that? Where were you when the police were looking for you?"Rose replied, "I am sorry, but it was purely business, nothing more."Patrick was agitated, and Rose showed no remorse at all.I continued to question her, "Business? What business are you talking about?"But Rose looked at Patrick and responded, "Aren

Thanks, Big T, you really helped me.""What did you do to them?" he asked.I acted like I didn't know what he was talking about and replied, "Me? I didn't do anything. I just told you they tried to touch me inappropriately."Big T gave me a skeptical look and said, "I know you, Rose. Honestly, I think you did something to those guys. Was it about the phone they wanted to collect from you?"“Why won't you believe me, Big T? Would you rather trust those strangers over me?""Just because I defended you doesn't mean I don't know what you are capable of. I looked into those guys and I must say that you costed us some important customers this time, Rose.""Imagine what the boss will say when he finds out I kicked out the renowned billionaire, Patrick Gale, because of you. Do you realize what could have happened if he had decided to make us pay for the embarrassment?"

    Sebastian’s POVI was still in shock when I found out who had been waiting for me at my front door; it turned out to be Mason, my step brother.I asked him what he was doing here but he wouldn’t say a word and just kept crying silently. I brought him in, prepared a warm bath for him and gave him comfy clothes.Thankfully, the leftover home-made food Alice had prepared yesterday when she came by the house was still in the fridge and I quickly took it out and microwaved it for Mason to eat.Thank goodness Alice made this meal and insisted that we stored the leftover in the fridge rather than throwing it away as I had suggested. She still remained the best woman for me.I also went to my room to freshen up, and I noticed 53 missed calls from my mother. My phone had been on silent while I was at the bar with Patrick because I just wanted to relax and chill with him with no disturbance. Well, that eventually went in the opposite direction.I figured I should talk to Mason before calling m

    George’s POVI found myself working late in the office once again. The company had a busy day filled with business meetings, and I had been invited to a business dinner. I didn't want to go alone, so I would have to try to convince Susan to accompany me, even though I knew she wasn't a fan of business parties.My phone rang, and I saw 'Julius' on the caller ID. It was unusual for Julius to call me; usually, I was the one reaching out to him when I needed something. His call implied that he had something important to discuss or report.I asked, "What's going on, Julius? Do you have any updates on what we discussed?"He replied, "Not yet, boss, but there's something else I need to report.""What is it?""It's about Rose. My sources informed me that she returned to the city quietly a few months ago, but we couldn't pinpoint her exact location. Recently, we spotted her working as a waitress in a bar."I groaned immediately when I heard Rose’s name. She had been a pain in the ass over the

    Sebastian’s POVAnger and pain! That was exactly the two emotions I was feeling right now.“Who did this to you?” I asked Mason."Who's responsible for this, Mason?" I questioned again, my voice filled with concern.Mason hesitated and tried to hide and cover up his sleeves. My frustration boiled over, and I shouted, "Tell me, Mason! Who hurt you?"Driven by anger, I lifted him and ripped his pajama shirt to reveal his bruised body. Tears welled up in his eyes as I saw the painful beating marks on Mason's body. Some were recent, while others seemed older and partially healed."Mason, please, tell me who did this," I pleaded, my voice trembling as tears threatened to spill.The poor boy also started crying and explained, "This is why I ran away from home. I didn't want to tell you, to avoid causing a rift between you and her."I couldn't believe it. "Wait a second, are you saying Louisa did this to you?" I asked in disbelief."Not her, but the guys she brought home," Mason explained.

I tried to snatch the gun away from him, but he skillfully turned, preventing me from taking the gun.Unable to snatch the gun, I dropped to my knees in front of George and held his legs tightly, pleading and sobbing loudly, "Please, George, kill me instead!

Susan asked, bewildered.I chuckled at her confusion, patting George's head and telling him to stand up."Surprised to see me, Susan?" I teased."Can someone explain what's happening here, and why do you have my child?" Susan demanded, her voice rising."Shut up! Don't talk to my Mistress like that!" George snapped, defending me. His loyalty pleased me; he finally saw his wife for what she was, a trash."Wait, are you two lovers? Is that why George calls you Mistress? Have you been cheating on me with her?" Susan speculated.I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "No way! Why would I sleep with my own twin brother?""What? Did I hear you right?" Susan exclaimed, shocked."Yes, that's right. George is my twin brother," I confirmed."But how is that possible? You don't even have the same last name," Susan asked, still puzzled."My name is Georgina Grayson Grey.

Please, give her back!" Susan pleaded desperately."Hush, my dear wife. Aren't you too eager? You didn't even ask how I was doing, you are just concerned about your daughter," I taunted.Patrick held Susan, trying to calm her. His touch made me jealous, and I snapped at him, "Get your filthy hands off her! She's my wife, not yours anymore! Do you know the sacrifices I have made for her? You don't even love her as much as

    Susan's POV How could George do this to me? How could he mess up my life?I felt really mad and angry. George would have to face the consequences. He planned everything so well that I never suspected anything.He must have found out about my divorce with Patrick five years ago and followed me to the small town where I went to heal. He acted like he was meeting me for the first time and slowly became a part of my life.He must be probably feeling pleased with himself wherever he was, thinking he did a great job. But he would surely pay for all the pain he caused me.I wiped away my tears and asked Patrick, “Did you tell the police about this?”“Yes, they're still investigating. But for your safety and Isabella's, it's best if you stay away from him.”I agreed and quickly called the school.“I have to go pick up my daughter from school. George was supposed to get her, but I need to tell the school to stop him. My daughter can't be with that monster for another moment!”I called the sc

I’m not ready to listen to whatever she has to say."I started to leave, but Juliana stopped me, “Please Susan, just listen to what Sebastian and I have to say. You can choose to leave afterwards if you don't believe us.”“Keep your rotting mouth shut! You are the cause of all this nonsense going on! Haven't you done enough trying to ruin my marriage? To what extent are you willing to do to achieve your aim?” I retorted fiercely.Sebastian quickly intervened, "Please, listen to us. Everything is just a misunderstanding.

Why are the police after me?""I've received information that Mr. Stephen's attempted assassination yesterday failed, and you understand the implications of that, Sir."Darn it! Why couldn't they just take out one guy? Now that he was alive, he would want payback for sure.I immediately stood and hurried to my safe to retrieve my passport and important papers. After securing a lot of bundles of cash, I directed Clark, "Arrange for a flight to Africa immediately. It will be harder for the authorities to track me there. No, scratch that—I'll just use my private jet. And ensure Bernice is safe.""Sorry Godfather, but Madam Bernice's safety has been compromised. She met with Al

Mr. Stephen was almost assassinated last night?"Mr. Stephen, we have no idea what you're talking about. What happened to you?" Mr. Smith asked, feigning ignorance."You want to play dumb, right? Because you and your friends knew I had evidence of your embezzlement in the company, you tried to assassinate me.
