The house was meticulously searched, and Charlie Sr. had Daniel's butler brought before him, forcing the servant to kneel in front of him. The butler remained bowed, afraid to meet Charlie Sr.'s gaze. After a thorough search, Stones returned with an update."Chairman Charlie Sr., we couldn't find Daniel. He's not at home," Stones reported.Charlie Sr.'s expression turned grim as he fixed his gaze on Daniel's butler and demanded, "Where is he?"Trembling with fear, the butler hesitated before stammering out, "I don't know. He... he asked me to lie to you before he left. He didn't say where he was going."Charlie Sr.'s eyes narrowed as he spoke in a low, cold voice, "He asked you to lie to me? What else did he say?" The butler shook his head, unable to offer any further information.Charlie Sr. paused, his expression turning grim as he contemplated his next move. With a cold glance at Stones, he issued an order that made the butler's cries fill the living room: "Feed him to the sharks.
As Charlie Sr. observed the movement of his son's finger, hope flickered within him. He hurried out of the ward and came across Doctor Francis."Doctor Francis, did you see that? He moved his finger again. Is it a sign that he might wake up soon?" Charlie Sr. asked eagerly.The doctor let out a weary sigh, shook his head, and responded, "Charlie Sr., you mustn't get your hopes up too high. Although we do see occasional movements, we are still exploring every possible option to bring him back to consciousness."Charlie Sr. felt deflated upon hearing Doctor Francis's answer and left the hospital. He couldn't find solace in his thoughts and waited anxiously for Stones to provide an update on Daniel, but none came.Throughout the night, he chain-smoked and struggled to sleep. Eventually, he got up, took a shower, and prepared for work.Stones entered the office to report his findings to Charlie Sr. "The body double has been interrogated, and she claims that Daniel was the mastermind behi
The short man's lips twitched nervously as he contemplated how to explain the situation to the enraged Charlie Sr. He knew he had to tread carefully, or he would face the brunt of Charlie Sr.'s fury."Chairman Charlie, I'm afraid I cannot make any decisions regarding the arrangement without proper authorization. I was merely instructed to oversee the decoration process. Perhaps you could discuss your concerns with Madame Agnes, your grandmother," the short man suggested tentatively.Charlie Sr.'s eyes were bloodshot with anger, and the short man felt his anxiety mounting. He held his breath, waiting for Charlie Sr.'s response.To his surprise, Charlie Sr. burst out laughing maniacally, his entire body shaking with rage. The short man watched him warily, unsure of what to do next.As Charlie Sr. stormed out of the mansion and got into his car, the short man felt a sense of relief wash over him. However, his relief turned to panic as he watched Charlie Sr. recklessly break traffic laws
Chloe was aroused by his caresses and intense movements, and she couldn't help but gasp as a moan escaped from her lips. They shared a passionate kiss and rolled around on the floor together.They couldn't resist the heat of the moment, and they tore at their clothes before pressing their bare bodies together.Charlie Sr. parted Chloe's legs and drove in, passionately calling out for Margret as he exploded in an earth-shattering orgasm.As Charlie Sr.'s eyes grew heavy, he rolled off of Chloe's body and sank into a deep sleep. Chloe couldn't help but smirk as she looked at her sleeping ex-husband. Without bothering to get dressed, she strolled over to the bar and poured herself a drink, stealing another glance at Charlie Sr. as he slept."Charlie, you never saw this coming, did you?" she chuckled to herself.After finishing her drink, Chloe made her way to one of the rooms that had once been hers during their marriage. She quickly changed into a dress from the closet before leaving th
Chloe was seething with rage. She had never expected Charlie Sr. to despise her so much that he would hate the idea of having a child with her."Don't even think about it, Charlie," Chloe retorted through gritted teeth.Charlie Sr. glared at her and spoke icily, "I warned you not to try and use our unborn child as a bargaining chip. It's just wishful thinking if you believe it will make me change my mind."With that, Charlie Sr. turned on his heel and walked away, leaving Chloe fuming with anger as she watched him go."You'll never lay your eyes on Margaret again," Chloe seethed, her foot pounding the ground as she stormed off.***Charlie Sr. was unable to sleep and spent the entire night smoking. The following morning, he drove with his convoy to the seashore near the shanty town. When the car carrying Charlie Sr. stopped, he let out a rueful sigh and stepped out with a peculiar expression on his face.As he stood before the sea, he clenched his fist tightly and felt disappointed wi
Unexpectedly, Chloe called Daniel and made an outrageous demand for him to kill Margret. Daniel was taken aback by the request and felt that Chloe is delusional.Chloe attempted to persuade him, saying, "Daniel, please listen to me..."But Daniel interrupted her, firmly stating, "No, Chloe, you need to listen to me. I won't allow you or your husband to harm Margret. I'm ending this conversation now."He hung up the phone, his face filled with a sense of foreboding.Despite assuring himself that he wouldn't allow Chloe to harm Margaret, Daniel remained anxious due to Chloe's immense power. He decided to put the matter aside for the moment and address it later when he had time to think it through. As he pulled into the house he had recently purchased, he noticed the small courtyard and the limited parking space, which was already occupied by his car. Upon exiting the vehicle, Daniel observed the open front door, and Maggi appeared, running towards him with excitement."Uncle Daniel!" s
Margret weighed his words, pondering for a moment before looking up and responding, "I will marry you."Daniel's eyes opened wide in disbelief. He couldn't fathom what he was hearing, and the thought of Margret agreeing to it never crossed his mind."You're not kidding, are you?" he asked, blinking rapidly.Margret beamed and nodded her head. Before she could utter another word, Daniel wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace, overjoyed with the news. After releasing her, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.Margret appeared flustered as she announced, "The baby is awake." She then quickly retreated from Daniel's presence, seeming a bit bashful. However, Daniel simply chuckled at her reaction and gazed up at the sky with a contented smile.The following morning, Daniel rose from his slumber at an unusually early hour, feeling elated and humming a tune as he imagined a blissful future with Margret. While arranging breakfast on the dining table, his attention was briefly caug
Daniel's realization left him in a state of shock and anger. He discreetly balled his fists, seething with frustration. The diver noticed his demeanor and gave him a suspicious look. "Are you the one?" he asked. "There's a bounty of five hundred million dollars on your head. You better watch yourself."Daniel forced a smile and lied, denying any involvement. "No, you've got the wrong guy," he said.The diver nodded and motioned for Daniel to get in the car. Daniel complied and the driver pulled away. They eventually arrived at a supermarket, where the car came to a stop.Daniel strode towards his parked car and swiftly got in. He then drove back home. Meanwhile, Margret's anxiety was on the rise as she received a call informing her that Daniel had been taken to the police station.Unfortunately, the caller didn't disclose which station. Margret was about to go out to look for him when Daniel suddenly arrived home. Upon seeing him, she breathed a sigh of relief and inquired, "Are you
"Stop him!" Chloe commanded her men.Despite his valiant efforts in exchanging blows, Charlie Jr. was unable to force his way through and was kicked back. As Chloe's men continued to charge forward in overwhelming numbers, Charlie Jr. fought his way out of the room, growing increasingly fatigued.However, when Chloe's men grabbed hold of him, Charlie Jr. desperately struggled to break free, his chest rising and falling with exertion. Despite his fierce resistance, the grip on him proved too strong to overcome.Chloe looked at him condescendingly as she sneered, "Junior, amongst your brothers, you are the most foolish; who are you to make me work for you?""Boss, the helicopter has taken off," one of Chloe's underlinings informed her.A huge smile appeared on Chloe's face, and she said with a tone and gesture of generosity, "You may let him since he wants to watch his lover explode."As soon as Charlie Jr. was released, he appeared to lose his mind. He repeatedly muttered Stella's name
Stella's lips twitched at the sight of Celestine's dismissive attitude. She hadn't expected him to treat her like a nuisance. "That's hardly a welcome," she retorted, rolling her eyes.Realizing his mistake, Celestine tried to make amends. "I'm sorry," he said in a calmer tone. "Please, take a seat."Stella nodded and sat down, but Celestine remained silent, unsure of what to say to her.After five minutes of awkward silence, Stella grew impatient. "Are you going to say anything?" she asked.Celestine shook his head. "I don't know what to say," he admitted.Stella's frustration boiled over. "How can you be silent now?" she exclaimed. "You promised to be with me forever. You promised to marry me. And what about our vows in the field that day? Were they all meaningless to you?"As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and her anger turned to hurt.As soon as Celestine remembered who Stella was, his expression changed dramatically. He hung his head low and apologized, "I am sorry."St
Stella's mom initially thought that Charlie Jr. and Caleb wanting to marry her daughter would be good news. However, her joy turned into despair when she realized that Stella was caught in the middle of three brothers."Follow your heart, Stella," her mother said, shaking her head. "I cannot make any definitive statements about this matter because your partner is someone you will be spending the rest of your life with."Stella furrowed her eyebrows as she contemplated her options, deep in thought.****Charlie Jr. drove aimlessly around the city, his mind in turmoil after leaving the bar. Eventually, he found himself at the field where Stella had taken him before. As he sat alone, he gazed up at the moon, his heart heavy with longing for her."I wish you were here with me, Stella," he murmured, his voice soft. "I know you want me to move on, but I can't. I just can't."After a while, he stood up and made his way back to his car, his thoughts still consumed by his feelings for Stella.
Stella was torn. She knew that if she didn't act, the situation would only get worse, and she couldn't bear the thought of things spiralling out of control. Summoning up her courage, she took a deep breath and spoke firmly."Charlie Jr., I have to be honest with you. I'm in love with someone else, and I don't think I'm the right person for you," she said, her tone serious.Charlie Jr. shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter who he is. I love you, and I won't stop loving you. My feelings for you won't change."With that, he got up and walked away, leaving Stella to watch his departing figure with a complicated mix of emotions.As Charlie Jr. exited the bar, he spotted Caleb seated atop his car's bonnet, smoking. The two locked gazes, and Caleb extinguished his cigarette before standing up."Why do you persist when she's made it clear?" Caleb asked, his tone frosty."Her rejection doesn't change my feelings or my desire to pursue her," Charlie Jr. retorted, his own tone equally c
Celestine's expression turned grave, and he whispered, "Isn't that considered treason?"Madame Agnes affirmed, "Yes, but that's not our concern right now. Your task is to intercept the mercenaries and safely escort the X country minister to Houston.""When do we depart?" Celestine inquired, turning to Butler Mark."Right away. We need to set up an ambush," Butler Mark replied."I'm ready," Celestine declared, and Butler Mark turned to leave."Wait," Madame Agnes called out to Celestine, causing him to pause. She looked at him with a serious expression. "Your safety is of utmost importance."Celestine smiled reassuringly and answered, "Don't worry, Mother. Nothing will happen to me."Madame Agnes nodded, watching as Celestine followed Butler Mark out of the house.As they left, Madame Agnes felt a sense of unease. She knew those mercenaries were ruthless and willing to sacrifice themselves for little gain."He'll be alright," she murmured, trying to ease her worries.****After finishi
"Tell me about yourself and your brother, Celestine," Stella inquired of Caleb.Caleb let out a sigh, unsure of how to feel about the situation. He couldn't help but wonder if Stella had known the truth all along - that he and Celestine had been acting as one person while he was pursuing her. "Let's find someplace quiet," he suggested to Stella, who nodded in agreement. They left the mansion and got into Caleb's car.Meanwhile, Charlie Jr. stood outside, watching them drive away with a cold expression and clenched fists. He was infuriated by what had just transpired.Caleb drove them into the busy city, eventually pulling over at a peaceful location. They got out of the car and settled down."I'm sorry for deceiving you," Caleb said apologetically, "I know you must have found out everything. I was young and foolish."Stella's heart skipped a beat. She had suspected the truth, but hearing it from Caleb made her realize that she had never truly been in love with him. Instead, her feeli
The atmosphere was tranquil, and the soothing notes of the piano filled the air. All present were entranced by Celestine's performance, and not a single person dared to disrupt the spell he had cast. As he played the final note, the sound faded away, leaving fifteen seconds of absolute silence. The audience remained lost in the music's beauty, not wanting to shatter the enchantment.Suddenly, applause erupted, but no one knew who had started it. It quickly spread, and everyone joined in, clapping with enthusiasm. Stella glanced at Caleb, who was silently berating his luck. How could he compete with Charlie Jr. and Celestine for a woman's affections? The situation was a tragedy.Stella turned to Caleb and asked, "You know how to play, right?" His heart sank as he had used Celestine's musical talents to impress Stella before. Trying to maintain a serious expression, he responded, "Of course."Stella was surprised but pleased to hear this. She hadn't expected Caleb to know how to play th
Celestine paused his flute playing and turned to face the figure before him. He was momentarily stunned by Stella's beauty, feeling as though she was the most exquisite lady he had ever laid eyes upon. The fireflies dancing around her only added to her charm, making her utterly irresistible.Furrowing his eyebrows, Celestine tried to place where he had seen this face before. There was something familiar about it that he couldn't quite grasp.Similarly, Stella stood frozen, her heart racing as she felt a different kind of connection with this person who resembled Caleb but possessed a refined handsomeness that even surpassed that of his brothers. As she gazed at him, she couldn't help but wonder if he was one of the triplets. But why did she feel such a strong and unique attraction towards him? Her thoughts became muddled and chaotic.Celestine furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. "Who are you? Do we know each other?" he asked, feeling
Caleb approached Stella with a happy expression, but she was in a daze as she stared at him. To her surprise, they looked exactly alike. Suddenly, a painful memory came flooding back to her when she met Charlie Jr. at the hospital years ago, and he didn't remember her."Stella, do you still remember me?" Caleb asked eagerly as he approached her.Just then, Charlie Jr. coughed, interrupting them. "Hey bro, this is my wife Stella," he said.Caleb's expression darkened as he looked at Charlie Jr. and then turned back to Stella. "What happened? You promised to wait for me," he said, his tone full of confusion and hurt.Stella's heart trembled as she struggled to understand what was happening. She quickly asked the first question that came to mind. "And what is your name?" she asked Caleb.Caleb furrowed his eyebrows, taken aback by her question. He hesitated for a moment before responding, "It's me, Caleb. Don't you remember me?"Stella's face showed evident shock as she looked back and f
