Nicholas waited a few more seconds until they were totally out of sight; then, he went back into the elevator he had come out of. As soon as he got downstairs, he glanced around, scanning the area with his eyes. He spotted Sonia sitting patiently, waiting for him.

A few other people were there; it was one of the waiting areas where people relaxed while waiting for someone or to be called upon.

He was about to take a step towards her when he spotted Justin and his personal assistant walking towards the exit of the building. He instinctively wanted to dodge.

He had become quite good at dodging that day; it was almost second nature to him. Unfortunately, Sonia, who was now looking at her watch exasperated, glanced around and spotted him.

With a voice filled with excitement, she stood up and called out loud to him.

"Nicholas, I am here." Her action drew the attention of almost everyone on the section of the ground floor they were on, including Justin.

Sonia, being a drama queen, only did

    Sonia was momentarily in a state of denial. Her eyes flickered shut as she lowered her head, holding it up with her hands. Had all those things really been said about her? Was that what they really thought of her? She wondered, a feeling of profound shame washing over her.Sonia wanted nothing more than to get out of that hospital building, but how was she going to do it? Everyone would be gloating at her, and now that she knew what would be going through their minds, she wasn't sure she was ready to face them.Luckily for her, the two doctors in the restroom left, shutting the door behind them. She immediately thought of a way to escape. She decided to call Nicholas and tell him that she would meet him in the car.She didn't want to be seen with Nicholas right now. After all, that was what initiated the rumors that had spread like wildfire all over the hospital. Maybe if she wasn't with him and disguised herself a bit, fewer people would recognize her, she thought.When she rang Nich

    Nicholas glared at him with icy cold blue eyes. Was he refusing him? Was he trying to protect the CCTV footage because it belongs to Justin? The thoughts going through his mind made him more infuriated."Do you want to lose your job?" he asked in a frosty voice. The operator immediately got up from his chair, his body shaking visibly as he said in a trembling voice, "N…no sir, this job is all I have. I am the breadwinner of my family; I can't afford to lose my job."Nicholas raised a brow, as if asking, "If you know all that, then how dare you refuse me?"Frankly, Nicholas could make him lose his job with a snap of a finger. All he needed to do was give any flimsy reason at all. He could probably say the guy had insulted him or had been reckless on the job. Anything at all he said would be a justifiable reason to get the guy sacked. Nobody would want to hear what the operator had to say; nobody would believe him over Nicholas. Anybody who did would probably be at the risk of losing t

    Jessica sat on the cushion in the lounge just close to the door of Justin's mansion, waiting for him to come back home. It had been about an hour since Kelvin dropped her off at home after they had helped Dr. Richard get settled in his suite at the resort.Kelvin had told her he needed to go back to the office in case Justin needed him. Jessica had wanted to tell Kelvin to let Justin know that she wanted him to be back as soon as he could, but on second thought, she decided to swallow her words. He should know better! If he cared for her as much as she did for him, he should already be here with her! Those were Jessica's selfish thoughts.She wore a gloomy look on her face as she tossed and turned uncomfortably on the sofa. She glared at the ceiling with sad eyes. She was missing Justin so much; it actually hurt.Jessica glanced at the clock; it was 8 pm! She had been back home since 5 pm! 5 pm! and Justin was still not back home? She had even managed to prepare a light dinner for th

    Jessica's anger immediately dissipated. She shut her eyes and wrapped her arms around Justin's neck, enjoying the kiss. Jessica was right where she wanted to be, enveloped in the throes of passion with the man whom she loved so dearly. When Justin slowly released her, his passionate blue eyes swept through her body, carving a hot path down the front of her chest.He smiled at the reaction he elicited from her. He knew she wanted him, just as much as he wanted her, but he would let that wait for later. Right now, what he wanted to do was have a nice hot meal with his wife, after that, he could proceed to have the best meal in the world.Her.Jessica wrapped her arms around his body, clinging tightly unto him as if he would disappear into thin air if she loosened her grip."I missed you," she muttered, sincerity evident in her voice.Justin chuckled as he caressed her lush hair, "I missed you more," he planted a kiss on her forehead."Every day without you was torture," he added with

    Jessica finally understood why he was angry. She kept mute as she pondered. Was that reason enough for him to have snubbed her and given her an attitude?Why was it difficult for him to communicate properly with her? This wasn't the first time Justin was acting in such a manner with Jessica; he had done it before. For that reason, Jessica was not about to let it slide this time. If he had an issue with expressing with words how he felt, it was about time he did something about it because this attitude if left unchecked will keep on manifesting in more ugly ways.Jessica carried the food that had been microwaved and stormed out of the kitchen, went straight to the dining, and started eating.About a minute later, Justin walked out with his own plate and went to the dining as well. There was absolute pin-drop silence in the room. Only the sound of forks clanking on plates could be heard. The atmosphere was quite awkward. Justin wondered just why Jessica hadn't replied him but walked o

    Jessica had just come back home from her hand therapy session, exhausted from the day's events. She glanced around the room and dropped her bag on the coffee table. She was about to call out for Annabella, their housekeeper, when she remembered that she had called her earlier and told her she was going to the supermarket to fetch some groceries.Jessica let out a tired sigh and, with her phone in hand, went to the kitchen to fetch herself a glass of warm water. She had fetched the water and was about to drink it when her phone beeped. She immediately glanced at it and saw a message notification on the home page. She opened the message, and what she saw caused her eyes to grow wide. The glass of water she held in her hand fell, its contents spilling as its pieces shattered onto the tiled floor. The message read:"Your car accident was orchestrated by someone. If you want to know who it is, wire $100,000 to this account, and I will tell you who it is."Jessica looked at the text messag

    Jessica was still looking at Justin incredulously. She couldn't believe he had taken less than 20 minutes to get the information they needed to apprehend whoever it was that had sent that message. She was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of pride. Just who is this man, and what other tricks does he have up his sleeves, she wondered. Justin's eyes fell on her after he instructed Kelvin on what to do, as he wondered what was wrong with her. She had been staring at him like he had a mole on his face ever since he came down. He couldn't place what was going on in her mind. Just then, sensing Justin's worry, Jessica averted her gaze from him and rose up, appreciating him for his desire to help her get to the root of the matter."Thank you so much for helping me," she said seriously, giving him a look of "I will never forget this."Justin smiled and nodded. He walked straight to her, placed both hands on her shoulders, with his blue eyes fixated on her brown ones, he assured, "I will ge

    The members of the board were all still stunned by what had happened. Every one of them was seated. No one dared to get up and leave while the CEO was still there.Justin, on the other hand had his eyes fixed on Nicholas, but the look he gave him remained expressionless; it was impossible to read his thoughts. He then glanced around the room at everyone before saying calmly, "This meeting has been adjourned. I will send out a memo regarding when the next one will be held." With that, he walked stealthily out of the boardroom with an aura of nobility around him.Everyone then turned their gazes towards Nicholas. Even though he had just been reprimanded by his dad, he was still the CFO of the company, the next in command after Justin, so they all thought it wise to accord him the respect due to him by waiting until he left before leaving."How long was he going to stand there anyway?" they thought.Suddenly, Nicholas left the room, dragging his feet. Everyone let out a sigh of relief a

    A month later, at the Hemsworth family mansion, everyone is seated at the round dining table, having a family dinner. Nicholas's health was totally restored. He had also helped the police in apprehending Kennedy and his men, who were already behind bars. Sonia had also been prosecuted, and her license was revoked due to her crimes.Nicholas's last request before being prosecuted for his own crimes was to have dinner with everyone in the family, a request they all had granted. Everyone tried to put on a smiling face, even though their hearts ached on the inside.The energy in the room was really low. Nicholas, noticing this, raised a glass and clanked it with a spoon to get everyone's attention as he cleared his throat. All sets of eyes were averted towards him as everyone eagerly waited to hear what he would say.Nicholas smiled brightly as his eyes swept across the faces at the dining table, acknowledging each of them in an endearing manner.

    Deep in thought, Justin drove to Jessica's mother's apartment. It had been two weeks since his discharge from the hospital.Two days after leaving the hospital, under persistent pressure from his grandmother and stepmother concerning Nicholas, Justin reached a decision. He chose to implore Jessica to perform the surgery on Nicholas, solely to prevent him from dyinf.This decision didn't signify forgiveness. In fact, he adamantly declined to visit Nicholas in the hospital. Fearful of what he might do to him as he remained vengeful and resentful, harboring deep anger for all he had endured at Nicholas' hands.The problem, however, was that Jessica had refused to treat Nicholas. In fact, they had engaged in an argument that led to her moving out of his apartment. All attempts to persuade her to reconsider proved fruitless. Since then, he had been trying to reach Jessica through her mother, with whom she had sought refuge.Surprisingly, when he called her mother that morning to inquire a

    Having recovered from the shock of Jessica's stern attitude, Nicholas looked at her with pleading eyes. Determined to make it work, he ensured everything he said seemed to come directly from his heart. Although he had mentally rehearsed this moment repeatedly, he didn't anticipate the scene playing out so soon.When he asked his father to help him plead with Jessica the previous day, he hadn't expected his wish to be granted. However, knowing he would see Jessica one day, he prepared ahead of time. Now, she stood before him. This was his opportunity, and he promised himself to make the most of it.Rising from the bed, his gaze fixed on Jessica, Nicholas's hand was cuffed to the bed, limiting his movement. Despite the constraint, he had enough room to do what he wanted. Jessica's eyes narrowed with hatred as she witnessed his eyes clouding with tears.Scoffing, she remarked, "I am listening. Say what you want to say; I need to be on my way soon." She eagerly waited for him to beg her

    Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward. He had informed the hospital earlier that day to update him once his son woke up. The hospital was heavily guarded, as two sons of the most powerful and influential man in London, whose lives were still in imminent danger, were in different wards.For all Mr. Hemsworth knew, the culprit who had shot his second son was still at large. Until apprehended, Nicholas and even Justin were not safe. Who knows, the person trying to kill Nicholas might be attempting to cover up a dark past. Justin had mentioned that Nicholas was working with a cult. Could it be they wanted to silence Nicholas for good to prevent him from confessing to his crimes and thereby mention their involvement in money laundering and the attempt on Justin's life?Whatever it was, he would hear it now that his son was awake.As soon as they entered Nicholas' ward, Mr. Hemsworth motioned for the gua

    The doctor suddenly remembered he had given the nurse a task earlier and asked her to inform him as soon as it was completed. That had to be what she had come to tell him about.He corked a brow up and asked curiously, "Are the test results out?" Laura nodded in response to his question. She wore a grave expression on her face, which was really unsettling to Mr. Hemsworth, who was clueless about what was going on."What test results? Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?" he snapped in frustration.The doctor immediately felt the need to explain before things escalated any further. "I am sorry, Mr. Hemsworth, for keeping you in the dark. The thing is, in this hospital, it is standard procedure to conduct a full check-up on our patients to ensure they are medically fit," he exchanged glances with the nurse and continued, "we ran some tests on Nicholas, and it appears the results are out," he concluded.Mr. Hemsworth was a little tense. The girl's reaction hinted t

    Mr. Hemsworth stormed into the hospital an hour later with his bodyguards, looking as ferocious and angry as ever. No one dared to stop him; just the sight of him alone was very intimidating. The security stationed at the entrance had to make way for him after seeing how he had been greeted by the policemen. They already knew who he was; if the police, sent to protect the hospital, had allowed him to gain entrance at this crucial time when security was heightened, then they felt they had no choice but to do the same.Nicholas had been brought to the hospital in his disguised state, so the security men had no clue who the person being protected in the ward was. The hospital kept his identity a secret, and only people who had the right to know due to a role they had to play were informed. Seeing Mr. Hemsworth storm in, the security men gave each other a knowing look; whoever was being protected must be related to him in some way.Once inside, Mr. Hemsworth stood still as his ferociou

    The man who had accidentally knocked Nicholas down immediately alighted from his car. Upon reaching where Nicholas lay in a pool of his blood, being washed away by the soft patter of rain falling, he gasped in shock but immediately recollected himself. "Is he dead?" he thought in fright as he fell to his knees beside Nicholas."Hello? Hello?" he said as he shoved Nicholas lightly.No response!"Oh my God! What have I done?" the man cried in fear. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest. With trembling hands, he brought out his phone and dialed 999, London's emergency contact."I knocked down a man; he needs help!" he cried as soon as the call connected, staring down nervously at Nicholas.The road was a lonely one. He contemplated carrying Nicholas into his car and taking him to a nearby hospital. He glanced at Nicholas' unconscious body again, and a thought crossed his mind, one that chilled him to the bone, causing his jaw to drop as his eyes widened."What if he is dead?

    As soon as Jessica turned, a slight frown etched her face. Standing behind her was Dr. Martins, the same man she had heard from Nicholas, accused her of having a hand in the attack on her husband.When Dr. Martins found out few days ago, just like everyone else, that Jessica was Dr. Alexandra, he was absolutely gobsmacked. He wondered how that could be and thought back to the day Jessica was acting a little nonchalant in his office, realizing it was because she already had a solution to her husband's predicament.He had been scared to approach her due to the way he had treated her in the past—all the snide and sarcastic remarks he made in her presence hadn't gone unnoticed. From the beginning, he had made it clear he really didn't like her, but Jessica always responded to his ill treatment with kindness. To him, she was just acting, being the badass actress she was, which even infuriated him more.Pondering on the next steps to take, he had summoned the courage to meet Dr. Alexandra,

    Sonia was petrified, visibly shaken. Just who is this man, she wondered? The seconds it took for the man to respond felt like a million years to her. Her heart kept thumping against her ribcage."Who am I?" the man asked mockingly as he snorted a laugh. Sonia's eyes widened.Hearing the man speak again intensified her fear. She knew she had heard that voice before, but to whom did it belong?She cried pleadingly, "Please don't hurt me. Whoever you are, please don't harm me.""Hahaha, you should have thought of that when you decided not to keep to your own end of the bargain. Now move, slowly," he snapped angrily, pointing the gun more aggressively towards her as he motioned for her to go in the direction he wanted.That was when it hit her!"Is it you? What are you...wait, how did you know where I live?" she asked, trying to mask her fear."How the tables have turned. It wasn't difficult to find you at all.
