Madison pushed a food trolley over to them and said, “My job is done. See you at the wedding.”Although she was supposed to report to work the next day, she hoped that Ezrah would let her off since there were things she could still do from home.Zora did not have to ask what Madison was doing there.It was clear that she was the master planner in everything, but with the pending wedding, Zora couldn't help but ask.“Does this mean you've already started your leave?”“Exactly,” Madison said, staring at Ezrah as she desperately appealed to his conscience. She loved her job, but this time around, she needed a break.“It’s okay. Bring in that guy you talked about tomorrow, and you can begin your leave after,” Ezrah finally relented to Madison’s request for a break.That guy was supposed to be Madison’s assistant, and she chose a male because Ezrah had informed her about the prank Zora had played on him with her secretary.He also knew that within the next one or two years, she would no lo
At the old Gannon’s mansion, Ezrah’s father was watching the news, and his mother was in her room applying a facial mask when the security informed him.“Sir, it’s Mr. and Mrs. Henshaw. They said it’s urgent.”Mr. Gannon was upset, never expecting them to show their guilty faces.“Tell them I don’t want to see them.”Instead of the security ending the intercom, Jack’s voice was heard. “Mr. Gannon, I wanted to tell you something about Dr. Sam. I hope the name rings a bell?”He addressed Mr. Gannon formally to send the notion that he was aware things had changed, but Mr. Gannon froze instantly at the mention of that doctor’s name.Was he a scientist? Whatever he specialized in only brought disturbing memories to the middle-aged man’s mind.“Let me speak with my security.” As soon as he heard the familiar voice, he ordered. “Let them in.”“Let who in?” Mrs. Gannon, who was descending the stairs with her facial mask on, asked. Her husband swallowed bitterly but did not hide it from her.“I
Mr. Gannon considered a plan, but getting Piper out of prison was not something he desired.Piper had become dangerous and was now a threat to everyone.“I have to go get my phone,” he said, heading upstairs to strategize, but Jack seemed to have anticipated his thoughts.“There is a phone on the table. Use it.”Mr. Gannon's fingers clenched into fists, his teeth gritting together. “This belongs to my wife.”“Is she no longer Ezrah’s mother?” Jack asked sarcastically, upsetting Ezrah's parents.Mr. Gannon gritted his teeth and picked up the phone. “If we inform him and he doesn’t agree, then it’s no longer our responsibility.”It would be as if they had made an effort and would not be accountable for any further consequences.However, a desperate man like Jack would always exploit any situation.“If he doesn’t agree, you can compensate us to have it destroyed.”Jack was thinking of using the money to hire good lawyers if things went as planned, not to harm the clone. He might need it l
“What about the money? We can’t get to Ezrah’s parents for the money, so how do we pay Dr. Sam to keep silent about the whole thing?” Charity asked. Her husband thought for a while and smiled.“We shall get it from Ezrah’s brothers as well. They hate him and would love to get involved in anything that will bring him down.”***During the drive to the mansion, Ezrah made a call. “I told you to keep a close eye on the Henshaws, so what were they doing with my parents?” He asked in annoyance.Zora did not hear the response but only the anger resonating from his voice. Then he added,“I don’t want it to happen again, and I want Piper’s torture in the prison doubled. I don’t care if she dies.”If Piper died in prison, then her parents would have no reason to go around begging Ezrah’s parents for mercy.Zora was not moved to plead for Piper when she was the reason they lost their child. Sadly, Zora had not gotten pregnant again ever since then.If she had, then pity would have formed in her
“Guess who decided to show up?” Lucas snarled, rushing towards Zora as soon as he spotted her descending the stairs, only to be intercepted by butler Rudolf.If he could just get her out of the mansion, things would be much simpler for him.However, he never anticipated that someone like a butler would stand in his way.Ezrah had never allowed his brothers into his home before, so this was a first. The reason for their sudden appearance was unknown to both butler Rudolf and Zora.“You are not supposed to approach her. Leave now, or I will call Mr. Gannon,” butler Rudolph spoke sternly, shielding Zora with his body.However, Ethan chuckled. “Why don’t you give it a try?”Both brothers were determined not to make it easy for Zora.Having managed to bypass the bodyguards by using their identities as Ezrah’s brothers, they didn't think a butler could stop them.Ezrah had instructed the security not to let anyone in, but since his brothers had never brought the fight to his doorstep, he ha
“No woman has ever been able to make Ezrah do something so foolish. Did you bewitch him?” Lucas asked. Zora smirked, loving the shocked expressions on their faces.Ezrah was the only one qualified to get her out of his house, not his brothers.Since she had no idea where Ezrah was and what gave them the right to show their faces, she did not intend to make it easy for them.“With love, yes, but for now, I want you both out of here,” Zora said calmly, her expression stern, and butler Rudolf was liking her even more.She was the true Madam of the house, and the two men had nothing more to leverage, except to throw tantrums after dropping the drinking glasses.“Zora, you haven’t seen the last of us. We shall take back everything that belongs to us,” Lucas threatened.Then he paused and asked thoughtfully. “Has it ever occurred to you the reason why we hate Ezrah so much?”Zora frowned. She never thought about it, feeling it was just out of jealousy. “You tell me.”“Ezrah was the one who
Last night, Jack made a call after confirming with his wife how they wanted to get the money. They instantly called Lucas on the phone.Lucas was having an argument with his wife because of their inability to conceive when his phone rang.He quickly answered it. “Hello, who is this?”“Lucas, this is Jack. I’m sorry to call you this late,” the familiar voice sounded over the line. Lucas was curious as he glared at his wife, who was still trying to process all the nasty things her husband had just told her.Having pinned all the blame on her when he refused to accompany her to the hospital to check what was wrong with them, her thoughts were too occupied to care about who was calling her husband at this late hour.“You wouldn’t call me at this time if it wasn’t important.” Lucas sat on the large bed, but there was a gap between him and his wife, who was coiled on the bed with her back turned to him.“That is true, but it’s about your brother, Ezrah,” Jack said, piquing Lucas’s interest.
“Are you sure this clone can be controlled?” Lucas asked. The response was a swift “yes.”Satisfied, he decided to invest in it, especially when he would soon have the Gannon group at his beck and call.“Okay, text me the amount, and I will send it to you,” Lucas said, unaware that his wife had heard everything.When he received the cost involved, he could not foot it alone, as it was more than he perceived. So, he called Ethan to explain the situation.Pooling their resources together, they transferred the money to Jack, who called the doctor on the phone after receiving the transfer alert.Just by using his brains, he became a millionaire overnight. “Dr. Sam, I need Ezrah’s clone out,” he instructed.The doctor was uncomfortable with the request, feeling that things could go wrong and get him into trouble, so he asked,“What are you using him for?”Jack explained casually, “To impersonate his original. I will find a way to get Ezrah into your lab.”Dr. Sam was happy with that promis
