Hello, Lovely readers. Do we think Harriet handled the matter properly?
“You can’t fire me, Miss Edward. You have no proof against me. All you have been doing is laying false accusations on me. You can’t prove that I am responsible for that article.” Alexa said with a confident look on her face. She expected Harriet to suspect her but what she didn’t expect was for her to actually fire her. As far as she was concerned, Harriet had no power to do that. Especially since she works for the chairman directly.“I figured you’d say that.” Harriet smirked and pulled out her hands to Collin, who immediately gave her his own tablet.“I must commend your efforts, Alexa. You did an excellent job at hiding your tracks. But, it wasn’t good enough,” Harriet said, and showed everyone the evidence. They had tracked down the IP address and, as expected, it corresponded with hers.“Leave, Alexa.” Harriet said and stood to her feet. “The next person who tries this will be faced with a bigger punishment. That’s all for today’s meeting.” She said as she walked out of the mee
Damien arrived at the hospital only to see his mother sitting outside Adrian’s room, soaked in her own tears. Even though he was furious with her, he couldn’t ignore the ache in his heart as he saw her in such a state.“D-damien?” Stacy called out as soon as she saw him. To say that she was ashamed of herself would be an understatement. Not only had she supported Adrian’s wrongdoings, she also neglected her elder son. She felt responsible for Adrian’s behavior. Maybe if she hadn’t pampered him so much, he wouldn’t have come out that way. “God! I can’t even look at you.” She whispered, lowering her head into her palm as she continued crying.“Why aren’t you inside, Mum? Is everything okay?” Damien asks in a cold tone. He didn’t want to forgive her so easily because she had deeply hurt him with her actions.Stacy sensed his distant behavior and she ached even more.“Can you ever forgive me, my boy?” She finally summoned the courage to ask, looking at him with teary eyes. “I never knew
It took Damien less than three hours to find Adrian’s lawyer. The man had fled to his vacation home, leaving his wife and children in New York. He must have known that Adrian was in trouble, seeing as he took every single document from the house before fleeing. But, he wasn’t smart enough to clean his tracks properly.Damien didn’t want to fly out to get him since his vacation home was in Mexico. He didn’t want to leave the country with everything that was happening. Even though Adrian had been arrested, he didn’t want to take his chances and leave his family alone. So, he sent Dante and his men instead. Damien was still at the hospital when he made the calls. He had sent his mother home a few minutes ago but couldn’t leave himself as he needed to make sure that he was making some progress.When he finally decided to leave, he checked his time, only to realize that it was already a few minutes to nine. Immediately, his phone rang. It was a call from Harriet.“Hey.” Her soft voice h
After Damien’s threat, Mr. Devon immediately started spilling information from his mouth. But, his important files and recordings were at his house in New York, so Damien had to go with him.“This is everything I have. This should help you prove your father’s innocence and get your company back.” He said, still shivering with fear. His wife and children were in their rooms upstairs, so he feared that Damien would change his mind and expose him.One thing about Damien was that he was a lover of the truth and justice. Mr. Devon was a corrupt lawyer who had no business in the practice. So, he was going to expose him after he was done with everything.“You picked the right side, Devon. Thanks for this.” Damien said with a smile and walked out of his house, but not before saying one last thing.“We’ll meet again, Devon. I am looking forward to it.”Damien immediately took the documents and recordings to the prosecution and in no time, his father was proved innocent and free to go. All art
“Is everything alright, my love?” Ha Young said with a worried voice, patting her back as she helped her get her hair out of her face. Stacy and Damien had also come into the room with her as they were worried for her. “I think it’s the pancakes. The smell did something to my stomach,” Harriet said while rinsing her mouth. Ha Young turned to Stacy and raised her brows, wondering if she was thinking the same thing.“She needs to get changed son. Give us a few minutes.” Stacy said, pushing Damien out of the room.“Are you even being serious, mother? I have definitely seen her naked countless times.” Damien said while holding his laugh in and Harriet choked on her spit.“Damien! You shouldn’t be saying things like that with your mother around!” Stacy slapped his arm and pushed him out completely before shutting the door.“He’s not wrong, you know?” Harriet laughed as soon as Damien was out of the room. “Oh, please.” Stacy rolled her eyes playfully. She and Ha young waited until Harrie
“I love you more than you can imagine, Harriet. Please, marry me again.” Damien said as he pulled out a shiny diamond ring from his pocket that had everyone in the room ogling. “Damien.” Harriet struggled to control her emotions. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes as she stared at him. She had no idea that he had been planning a proposal and got impatient. She couldn’t even believe that he said anything when she was threatening to leave him with her children. “Don’t make him kneel for so long, darling.” Ha Young joked, causing all of them to laugh loudly. “God, yes. Yes, I’ll marry you, Damien.” She cried, bringing out her hands for him to place the ring in. As she said those words, Damien felt a weight leave his chest. One of the reasons why he had taken so much time to propose was because he wasn’t sure if she’d still want to get married to him after their last marriage ended. He thought that she might have bad thoughts about marriage because of him. But, as she said t
Six Months Later.“Can you not run around, Addy? Mummy is too heavy to chase you around.” Harriet said, finding it hard to breathe. She had been trying to give Addison her medicines since she caught a cold but, the little trouble decided to turn it into a game of chase.“You have to catch me, mummy! It’ll make Aliya strong!” Addison said with a giggle, referring to the baby which was still inside Harriet. As soon as it was confirmed that they were expecting a girl, Addison took it upon herself to come up with a name. One week later, she announced that the new baby would be called Aliyah and no one dated object.“Is Addy refusing to take her meds again?” Damien chuckled as he walked down the stairs with Aiden.“Yeah, she…” Harriet started but suddenly felt liquid pour out of her. She stood shocked for a few seconds, as reality hadn’t dawned on her yet. “D-damien. I think the baby is coming.” As soon as she said those words, she was hit with an unbearable pain that had her shutting her

Final Chapter… Before Louis could utter another word to plead with her, the sounds of sirens were heard, signifying that the police had arrived. “You bitch! You already called the police!” He screamed and angrily pulled out a gun from his pocket and pointed at Lily causing Rachael to scream. “You think I wouldn’t come here prepared?” He asked and laughed maniacally. “I knew that I couldn’t trust this doctor and guess what, I was right!” He said, moving the gun from Lily to Tony. “How dare you try to trick me?!” He yelled at Tony who now had his hands up in surrender. “Put the gun down and we can talk, Louis. Put it down.” Tony said calmly, slowly moving towards Lily. “Stop right there!” Louis screamed and cocked the gun, scaring everyone in the room. “I told you, Lily. I told you that nothing can separate us. If I die, you die. We go down together, Lily. Do you hear me?!” He said, grinning eerily. “Please, stop. Please, Louis. You need to stop!” Lily cried, rubbing her hands to
“It's Louis. He just arrived at the house. Come on, Lily. You'll finally get that apology.” Tony said and grabbed her hand. “I’ll take him to the guest quarters first and then, you can come in ten minutes later.” He said and kissed her lips before leaving the house. “Oh my God,” Lily exclaimed as soon as he left. Her palms were sweaty and her heart was racing. After so many weeks, she was going to see Louis and it was possibly going to be the last time. “I can't believe this is happening.” She beamed, pacing. Tony, on the other hand, had met up with Louis who was waiting at the front door and was now leading him to the guest house. When they arrived, Louis sighed in relief as he saw the luxurious room that had been prepared for him to stay until he was able to leave the country by sea. “Thank you so much for this, Tony. I swear I won't cause you any trouble until I leave. You won't even know I’m here.” He thanked, breathing like he had just completed a marathon. Tony nodded and
Louis noticed that a few minutes after his call, the policemen behind him slowed down and turned around, abandoning their chase. A sigh of relief left his lips and he finally stopped his car. It was obvious that Tony had made some calls.He then realized that as long as he stayed loyal to Tony he would be safe. As for Mehdi, he was history and would now be punished by the law.His phone dinged and when he checked, it was a text from Tony.Tony: [Come over to my house. That’s the only safe place for you. You can leave when things settle down. I’d send the address to you but I know you already know that.]He nodded as if Tony was in front of him and hit the accelerator, driving to Tony’s house.**“Lily! Lily!” Rachael screamed from the living room to Lily who was in the kitchen with the chef. “You need to see this!”Lily appeared in no time with an apron around her. She had been trying to distract herself from the fight with Tony by helping the chefs out while Rachael kept herself bus
“You’re being recorded, boss! It's on live stream!” Mehdi’s secretary screamed with a look of horror on his face. Mehdi on the other hand looked like he had just been punched in the face. “It's all over the news. You need to stop!” His secretary yelled.The blood in Mehdiface dried out immediately and the smile on his face vanished. Scrambling around like a madman, he looked for the TV remote and switched on the television. Just as his secretary had said, the first thing Mehdi saw on the news was a video of himself and his secretary staring into his TV which was happening in real-time. That could only mean that they were being recorded by a hidden camera. He looked at the TV one last time, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. That was when he realized that the hidden camera was in Tony’s direction. When he turned, there was a smirk on Tony’s lips as he watched Mehdi panic, knowing that he had just told the whole world about his crimes.“You…” He growled and launched at Tony, det
“What just happened?” Rachael said as soon as he walked out. She had been eavesdropping on their conversation for a while. Not that you could blame her. They were being extremely loud so she didn’t even have to try. “Not now, Rachael.” He groaned, dragging his feet to the minibar. “Don’t walk away from me, Tony. Not after what just happened!” She scolded, pulling him back by his arms. She stepped in front of him and let out a frustrated sigh, running her hand through her hair. “I swear, you both stress the fuck out of me.” She hissed. “Listen, I don’t care what she did to you, all I know is that she’s not leaving this house. You’re acting rashly because you’re angry. When you calm down, you’re going to hate yourself so, you’re going to take a break in my room and have a long nap while I speak to Lily. When you wake up, you can speak to her again. At least you’ll be a lot calmer then.” She said, rubbing the side of his arms assuringly. Tony groaned but succumbed and walked away, st
After his conversation with Rachael, Tony returned to Lily but she was nowhere to be found. The sound of running water in the bathroom informed him that she was having a shower. He then decided to leave so that she could have some privacy but, as he was about to leave, his phone rang.Looking at the caller, his jaw tightened in anger.It was Louis.After a few rings, he picked up but said nothing, waiting for him to speak.“Tony! I have great news.” He started and Tony hummed, walking out of Lily’s room as he didn’t want her knowing he was involved with Louis.“I just had a meeting with Mehdi.” Tony paused in his tracks and he wondered if he had judged Louis wrongly.Was he really going to tell him about his conversation with Mehdi? If that was the case then, Louis might not be as bad as he thought.“Really? What was it about?” He asked, now in his room. He shut the door and sat at the edge of the bed, listening attentively to Louis.“Well, I managed to get on his good books once aga
Tony sat on his bed, his AirPods plugged in and Lily sleeping peacefully on his lap. He had been making plans on how to bring Mehdi to justice with the help of Louis when his phone beeped, telling him that Louis was on the move. He initially ignored it as Louis was always on the move but when he saw where his location was, he took out his AirPods and listened in on their conversation.At first, he thought it was a part of Louis’s plan to help him out and probably get something on Mehdi but, as he listened in, he realized that he was wrong.Louis was betraying him a few hours after their conversation.Not that he didn’t expect it. Men like Louis weren’t to be trusted and he knew that. The only reason he was too bothered initially was because he knew he had Louis’s phone tapped so if he tried to deceive him, he would already be aware.“Well, that was quicker than expected.” He whispered and chuckled lightly before carefully taking Lily’s head to a pillow and leaving the room.“Rachael!”
“It’s the fucking Snakers, man.” Immediately the words left Raphael’s mouth, Tony's shoulders fell and his head dropped to the headboard.“And I hired him into my company without knowing about this.” He hissed, ruffling his hair out of anger and annoyance.“I should have been more careful for fuck’s sake. I put her life in danger by not being careful enough.”“That’s in the past now though, man. She’s out of danger and now we know not to be careless with things like this.” Raphael cut him off, to stop Tony from blaming himself.Tony nodded and returned his hands to the steering wheel. “You’re right. What I have to do now is find him and make sure he apologizes to her. Knowing Lily, she’s probably losing her mind right now thinking something bad has happened to him.” He said with a stressed sigh.“I can imagine how betrayed she’d feel when she learns the truth.” He added. “Anyway, thank you for your help, Raphael. I really appreciate it.” He thanked him and ended the call.**“I swear
Later that day….Tony walked into the private booth of a famous club a few minutes away from his house, where he had agreed to meet with his guest. He was ushered in by a waiter who pointed to the guest who had been waiting, his back to Tony.Tony thanked the waiter and headed to the couch where his guest was seated. As soon as he got there, the face of the guest lighted up and he leaned forward.“I was shocked to learn that you wanted us to meet. I was convinced it was a prank but, seeing you here, It’s obvious I was wrong.” He said with a smirk on his lips.“Like I said, this meeting is overdue. It has been on my mind for a while now.” Tony replied, his face as hard as stone. He then exhaled and leaned forward.“I have an offer for you, Louis.” He said calmly and Louis’s eyes widened but he quickly composed himself and crossed his legs.“You’re not going to give me money and tell me to stay away from Lily, are you? You should know that’s not going to work by now.” He laughed, his to
