The two friends hugged each other excitedly. It had been ages since they last met. It turned out Rodriguez's car was parked in the opposite direction from his men; that was why Justin hadn't seen him upon arrival. When he noticed Justin interacting with one of his men, he decided to pull the surprise on him.

Justin was still stunned, he hadn't yet recovered from the shock of seeing him. Gazing at him with affectionate eyes, he said, "You didn't have to come; I am pretty sure you have other engagements that should keep you busy right now."

Rodriguez nudged him on the shoulder, "There was no way I was going to miss an opportunity to meet you again." He tilted back and beckoned to one of his bodyguards, who came immediately and placed a cigarette between his fingers and also lit it for him.

Rodriguez offered Justin a cigarette but received a wry look from Justin in return, "Come on, Rodriguez! You know I don't smoke."

"I do know you don't smoke; three years is enough time to change, th

    The frightened man gulped as he glanced at the angry man before him, then averted his gaze to Kelvin, who was standing right behind Justin.He took a deep breath and spoke incoherently, as if he had lost his ability to speak soundly."I…I, the ac..acc..accident," he stammered and swallowed hard, looking frantically at Justin.Justin sighed and turned towards Kelvin, "I think he would rather die than speak. Get me a rope; I would do it quickly," he said, his deep voice sharpening towards the end of his statement. Kelvin immediately left to do as he was told."No!...please, I will speak! I will say everything that happened!" the man pleaded in fright.Justin turned around and looked down at him, taking a few steps towards him and urging coldly, "Then speak now and make it quick; I don't have all the time." He glanced at his wristwatch, then at the man.Suddenly, it seemed like the man's train of thoughts aligned. He inhaled sharply and exhaled in labored breaths.His scared eyes wandere

    Jessica was utterly shocked at Justin's statement. She shot him a glare, her mind filled with many thoughts.She pursed her lips and asked fiercely, "Why shouldn't I do that?" She moved a bit farther from Justin and continued, "Do you expect me to let her walk free after what she did?"Justin scooted closer to her and placed his hand right where it was previously, over her shoulder, before speaking softly, "I understand how hurt you are right now, but I do not support the idea of making rash decisions." Jessica threw him a vicious glare."Rash decisions?" she questioned angrily.Justin sighed; he was already getting weary. How was he going to let her know that he was not her enemy, he was only trying to help? He knew it wasn't wise to go after Sonia right now. The time to do that would come. He just needed to convince Jessica about that.He stood up and reached out his hand to Jessica; she reluctantly placed her hand in his. Justin held both of her hands and gazed down at her. "I ne

    Jessica raised an eyebrow at Nicholas' words, contemplating how best to respond. For some reason, she suspected Nicholas was up to something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it yet.Recalling that when he had approached her earlier, he claimed to be in trouble and needed her help, she wondered if this was the reason. Did he want her to reveal Justin's sickness so that he could exploit it as a weakness against Justin? Perhaps to threaten or blackmail him?Curling her lips, Jessica gave Nicholas, who seemed convinced his plan was about to succeed, a sinister smile and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. My husband is hale and hearty. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him," she spoke in a relaxed tone.Nicholas' face immediately etched into a frown, his eyes narrowing like a sly fox as he snickered, "I saw it with my own two eyes! He was lying on the floor, looking lifeless! Are you trying to protect him? Would you rather have him keep suffering in silence?"Jess

    Mr. Hemsworth was on his way to a very important meeting at the time of the call. He wouldn't have picked it if it were some other person, but it was his mother. She was one person he would always make exceptions for.As soon as his mother asked him why he had demoted Nicholas, his eyes darkened, and he spoke rashly into the phone, "Nicholas is my son, Mum. It is my duty to train him the way I see fit! I am so sorry, but I would have to go against you on this one. He would have to do as I say or quit working in the company, the choice is his!" he asserted strongly.Old Mrs. Hemsworth was taken aback by her son's words. Even the tone of his voice was off-putting. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a high-pitched tone. He has always been soft-spoken whenever it came to her.Old Mrs. Hemsworth swallowed hard and said in a surprised tone, "Are you talking to your mother like that?"Mr. Hemsworth asserted seriously, "Mum, Nicholas needs to learn a valid lesson, and that h

    Everyone in the room threw surprised glances at each other before their eyes all fell on Sonia, who wore a pitiful expression on her face.Nora, still by her side on the bed, placed her hands on her shoulders and asked, "Who are these three witnesses? We would like to see them. If Jessica truly pushed you down, she will have to pay. I will make sure of that!" She sneered angrily.Old Mrs. Hemsworth was beside herself with a mix of anger and pain. Had Jessica really pushed Sonia down the stairs? She wondered. No, Jessica is not capable of that. She is such a sweet and kind-hearted girl; she would never go to that far length to cause harm to another person. Besides, she is happy with Justin. Their relationship is just perfect.As Old Mrs. Hemsworth was still battling with her inner thoughts, friends of Sonia who also worked at the hospital walked in. Sonia had paid them heavily to support her claims.They had been camping outside just a few meters from Jessica and Sonia when Sonia had f

    Jessica, latched against the back of the door with her heart thumping sporadically, heard the door click open. She froze, holding her breath, afraid to breathe too loudly and attract the attention of the predator. Gripping firmly onto the knife, she paid rapt attention as she steadied herself for an imminent attack.Suddenly, the light switch flickered on, and a man walked in frantically, scanning the area with his eyes. His back was turned to Jessica, but that was all she needed to know who it was."Justin!"Relief flooded Jessica as she lost grip of the knife, which fell to the floor in a loud bang, attracting Justin's attention. Immediately, he turned, their eyes met, and for a millisecond, they stared at each other without moving.Justin slowly approached Jessica, his caring eyes never leaving hers. Jessica bit down on her bottom lip, her vision clouding with the tears that were beginning to form.He knows what happened! Justin knows that she had allegedly pushed Sonia down the st

    All eyes fell on Justin as everyone wondered just what more there could be. Justin brought out two papers from his pocket and handed them to one of the doctors, saying calmly, "Please explain to everyone what this is all about."Sonia's eyes widened as she glared at the papers in the doctor's hand; they were the same result papers that had been shown to her after she came for a pregnancy test. With the speed of light, she immediately rushed to the doctor and snatched the paper away from her, tearing it to shreds with shaking hands in front of everyone.She didn't want the content of the paper to be made public; she would be done for if it were. Justin could have stopped her when she went for the papers, but he ignored her, wanting her to make a fool of herself.Did she actually think before she acted? Did tearing the papers not make her even more suspicious of her? Justin wondered just how gullible and dull Sonia was to have done what she just did.While everyone was still observing

    Jessica stared at the result for a long time, she picked it up, blinked her eyes, and gazed at it incredulously.She was really pregnant! She rubbed her hand on her belly. The fact that she hadn't seen her menstrual flow in two months meant she was at least 6 weeks pregnant. Jessica felt a mix of joy and anxiety.She questioned her own ability to take care of a child. What if she failed as a mother? What if Justin decided one day that he wasn't interested in the contract marriage anymore? Wouldn't that mean she would become a single mother? Could she handle all the pressure that was bound to come if that happened?Jessica sighed and shoved the thoughts to the back of her mind. She decided it was best not to dwell on things that hadn't happened yet but to focus on the present.When Jessica got home, she waited up for Justin so she could deliver the news to him. He came home quite late, wearing a tired look on his face. Jessica waited until he was done eating before breaking the news t

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.

    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.
