Margret Owen's expression soured as the stranger made a bold and forward proposal. She took a deep breath before responding firmly, "I'm sorry, but I cannot entertain you if that's your intention." With that, she turned to walk away.But before she could take more than a few steps, Brenda stormed out of the nearby building, her rage palpable. Ever since her plan against Margret had failed, she had been searching for her sons to exact revenge. She had even gone to Margret's old house, only to find that she had moved out.Brenda's face darkened at the sight of Margret, whom she had not expected to see so soon after leaving her office in disappointment.Brenda addressed Margret with a cold tone, gritting her teeth in anger as she called out her name. Margret responded with irritation, clearly not in the mood to entertain her."What do you want, Brenda?" Margret asked.Brenda's tone became even more aggressive as she snapped back, "If you don't bring those bastards here, I will ensure tha
Charlie Sr's expression turned grim as he listened to Stones' report about Chloe's recent suspicious behaviour. He had a sinking feeling in his gut as he realized that something was amiss."Let's head to my ward," he said through gritted teeth.Charlie Sr's ward was equipped with all the essentials he needed, but he rarely used the television that was mounted on the wall.When they arrived, Stones and Salvation stood guard outside while Charlie Sr walked in with measured steps. He switched on the TV and saw Chloe being interviewed, and his eyes narrowed."Chloe Wendel, can you explain to our viewers why you believe Charlie Sr isn't the man he appears to be?" the interviewer asked.Charlie Sr's forehead creased in anger. "The biggest mistake I ever made was marrying Charlie," Chloe said, her voice dripping with falsehood. "He doesn't know how to take care of his wife, and he's incredibly unfaithful. He's even gotten another woman pregnant and has forced over a hundred women to have abo
After making up his mind, Charlie Sr left the hospital with his entourage and got into their cars to head to Celestial Hotel. Upon arrival, Charlie Sr instructed Salvation and Stones before striding towards the entrance.As he approached, an average-height man with a pot belly and an unkempt moustache ran towards him, bowing his head in greeting. "Welcome, Sir Charlie Sr. I am the manager of Celestial Hotel and have been instructed by Peter to lead you to the private room," the manager said.Charlie Sr nodded and followed the manager to the private room, where he was presented with a menu. However, Charlie Sr waved it away, stating that he had no intention of ordering anything. He was wary of the possibility of his drink being spiked.Charlie Sr sat quietly in the private room, feeling frustrated and betrayed. He stood up abruptly, his anger mounting as he thought about how Chloe had fooled him.Before he could make it to the door, it swung open and Chloe and Peter walked in. Peter's
Charlie Sr jumped to his feet, a look of shock on his face. Without a word, he rushed out of his son's hospital room and made his way to the elevator. Impatiently, he waited for it to descend to the ground floor, his mind racing with worry and fear.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Charlie Sr bolted out and rushed to the emergency ward. However, the door was tightly locked, leaving him to pace nervously outside for what felt like an eternity.Finally, after three long hours, Doctor Francis emerged from the ward, his face etched with concern. Charlie Sr hurried over to him and asked, "Doctor Francis, how is my son?"The doctor managed a small smile and replied, "He's stable for now. But there's something I need to discuss with you. Come to my office."Charlie Sr nodded and followed the doctor to his office. As they settled in, Doctor Francis spoke up. "Sir, I'm afraid your son has post-traumatic amnesia."Charlie Sr felt his heart sink at the news. He clenched his fists and asked
As the Presiding judge pounded the gavel, the courtroom fell into a hush."Attorney Hart," the judge called upon Charlie Sr's lawyer to proceed.Advancing towards the bench, Attorney Hart handed over the title deeds to the judge.Charlie Sr swore an oath and took his place in the witness box."These are the only assets that I possess," he stated firmly.The judge gave him a scrutinizing glare, then directed the plaintiff to share a copy of the title deeds with Chloe's lawyer.As soon as Chloe's attorney received a copy of the title deeds, he leapt to his feet and raised an objection."My Lord, it is implausible for an individual of Charlie Sr's stature to possess assets worth only two million dollars. This is inconceivable," he spoke in a deep tone.Attorney Hart responded with another piece of evidence, "My client's mother had already taken everything he inherited from Charlie Sr a few weeks ago. Whatever my client currently possesses was given to him by his mother."Peter's expressi
As Stones floored the gas pedal, his car sped towards an attacker. The two vehicles collided, resulting in a deafening explosion. Stones lost control of his car, causing it to spin wildly.Margret Owen had noticed the car racing towards her from her rearview mirror. She had already formulated a plan to avoid it, but she was surprised when someone attempted to help her. She quickly applied the brakes and parked her car, then stepped out to investigate the commotion. A crowd had gathered around the two colliding cars.Margret pushed her way through the crowd and approached the car that had collided with the attacker. To her surprise, the driver who had risked his life to help her was the same man she had seen with Charlie on a previous occasion. She was filled with gratitude and her eyes widened in shock.After a few minutes, an ambulance arrived and took the injured parties away.Margret Owen got into her car and drove back home. As she stepped out of the car, the servants greeted her
After Peter made his statement, the door behind Charlie Sr creaked open, and eighteen menacing-looking men strode into the room.Charlie Sr remained composed as he sneered, "Do you think I would come here unprepared?"Peter had a bad feeling and his face darkened as he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"Charlie Sr shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "It's nothing."Peter narrowed his eyes, realizing that Charlie Sr was stalling for time after discovering the situation he was in.Peter burst out laughing hysterically before snorting coldly, "If you're counting on someone to rescue you, you're dreaming."Peter turned to his men standing behind Charlie Sr and ordered, "Tie him up."Charlie Sr ripped off his jacket, revealing an explosive device tightly wrapped around his body.Peter's face turned pale, and he frantically yelled, "Don't get too close! Don't touch him!"Upon seeing the explosive device strapped to Charlie Sr's body, Peter's men recoiled in fear and backed away.Peter r
After Charlie Sr had beaten up Peter, he went back to the hospital to check on his son, Charlie Jr. However, when he saw that his son was still in a coma, he got into his car and drove home. Despite the constant activity of the servants moving around the mansion, it felt empty to Charlie Sr. He let out a rueful sigh and went to his favourite spot to smoke and reflect on his life.Suddenly, his phone rang, and he quickly pulled it out of his pocket to answer the call. On the other end of the line, Salvation informed him that he had located where Margret lived and sent the information to his email."Um, thank you," Charlie Sr said, expressing his gratitude before ending the call. He then walked into his bedroom and turned on his laptop, checking his email to find the information Salvation had sent him.As a knock echoed through the door, Charlie Sr beckoned the person to enter.In walked a plump woman, the maid, who announced that his food was ready.Charlie Sr gestured dismissively, "N
"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
