last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

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

    Lucas believed that as long as he possessed those documents, he could confront Ezrah. He thought that the documents rightfully belonged to him.“He’s my younger brother. I can handle him, and those documents should legally belong to us. Ezrah has been hoarding all the money and giving us peanuts. It’s time to take everything and leave him destitute.”Dr. Sam was unaware of the family drama's details and did not want to get involved.He had already received his payment and was only responsible for keeping an eye on Ezrah until the documents reached the two brothers.“Alright,” he said, and Jack smiled. He had enough money and began contacting people to help him get Piper out of prison.The clone went to the house with only one goal in mind: to obtain the documents his sponsor had mentioned, not to talk to a man named Lake whom this woman was trying to force him to communicate with.He had already identified this woman as Ezrah’s wife from the pictures and videos shown to him but knew n

    Zora had a subtle understanding of what was going on. Her senses heightened. Perhaps the Henshaws were the reason Ezrah lingered in the neighborhood, but what in God’s name did he need those documents for?Then again, was Ezrah aware that Jack was trying to get Piper out of prison?Zora knew that news about Piper would bring Ezrah to his senses, but for now, she responded to the lawyer.“You must be Ezrah’s lawyer. This is Zora.”“How are you, Zora?” The lawyer asked.“I don’t know. Ezrah is acting strange, but please don’t take up any case. I will call you back.”She ended the call and yelled for him to hear. “Ezrah, the Henshaws are causing trouble.”“What are you talking about?” The clone asked, descending the stairs with a pile of documents in his hands.Zora quickly met him and took a peek, her eyes widening.“Where are you going with those documents? They are mine.”The clone stared at her with a mixed expression, confusion evident on his face.“These are the house and company

    “I enjoyed it,” the clone responded with a cold expression. Lake wanted to punch him in the face when he realized that Ezrah’s brothers hated him for something he had no knowledge of.He suddenly began to wonder since when the clone had been in their lives.He would have told Zora to get in touch with Ezrah’s parents to find out the depth of the problem, but since they had a hint as to where Ezrah was, there was no need to do so.“Why?” Zora asked, feeling depressed about the whole thing as the understanding settled that Ezrah had been suffering and at loggerheads with his brothers because of this inhuman creature.“They had the life I wanted, so I figured that if I killed them, then I wouldn’t be sent away, but…” he stopped talking, as if he had said too much, but Zora had heard enough.“But your parents loved you all equally,” she pointed out, hurt by the whole thing.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” the clone said, afraid that he had already said too much.This was not a

    Ezrah recalled everything vividly, from the way his elder brothers lied to him, making him leave the house.They must want something, but he only hoped that Zora was fine. The doctor’s voice cut through his thoughts.“Well, I will tell you because I’m leaving the country in an hour.”Ezrah was hitting the glass to break it, just so he could see himself out.The doctor was nothing he could not take care of, but as much as he hit the glass, it wouldn’t break.“Get me out of here,” he snarled, the doctor forced a smile.After doing a few findings on Ezrah, he knew that the guy was quite powerful and dangerous.As such, he could not feel guilty for putting in measures to protect himself.“It would open on its own after I’m out of here, but don’t blame me. Your parents paid me to clone you as a baby when they found out you had a heart problem.”The news caused Ezrah to halt his actions, as he tried to remember anything about a heart condition, but everything came to zero.He must have been

    “Will you keep to your word?” The doctor asked after careful thought.The Henshaws kept their promises, but Ezrah was powerful and could be cunning.What if it was just a trick for him to get out before getting Dr. Sam arrested?Ezrah would have indeed loved to exact revenge, but as long as he gave his word, he was not thinking about going against it.“When I make a promise, I don’t go back on it.”Something inside Dr. Sam made him feel safe to trust Ezrah. Besides, his parents were trustworthy.Only his brothers carried themselves as if they weren’t of the Gannons’ blood, so he gave in.“Alright.” He entered some passcodes and sighed. “It will open in five minutes.”“Where are you going?” Ezrah asked when he saw the doctor packing some luggage.Dr. Sam felt that Ezrah would keep his word, but now he was afraid of what he owed the Henshaws for not keeping his part of the deal.Even if Ezrah gave him a chance, what about them? He could not risk it.“The Henshaws might sue me, and so mi

    Three minutes to Ezrah seemed like three days. That annoying beeping sound he eagerly waited for until that small red light changed to red.As soon as the door opened automatically, he rushed out the same way he saw the doctor go.The house turned out to be underground, but most of the rooms had been uninhabited for a while.It took a while for Ezrah to finally make his way out, surprised there were no security personnel whatsoever.After crossing the gate, he saw the familiar street.This was a very high-earning location, meaning the Henshaws indeed paid the doctor a lot of money to keep the clone hidden for the doctor to afford such a house in such a place.It was late, and Ezrah had no phone or money.Everything was left in the car, so with all the energy he had left, he sprinted to the closest house he knew in the neighborhood, in the pajamas he was so ashamed of.He needed not ask why he was in pajamas as it was clear that the clone had worn Ezrah’s clothes to appear as him.It w

    Zora chuckled, her arms wrapped safely around Ezrah. The feeling was different, and she cursed herself internally for not knowing the clone was not Ezrah.There was a unique warmth, a unique connection. Something erotic, peaceful, exciting, just at the sight of each other.These blends of emotions were something that existed between only the two, but how could Zora have thought of a clone?The worst would be that perhaps Ezrah lost his mind or was drugged.Now that everything was made clear, she was thrilled. “Oh Ezrah, you take my breath away.”Ezrah pulled away and stared at her worriedly, knowing she was happy. Then he asked directly.“Was there another me in the house? Trust me, I haven’t been there since I left this morning.”He was worried that the clone did something to her.He won’t blame her, though, but that would affect whatever action he had to take against his brothers and the Henshaws.“I know about your clone, Ezrah. We got him arrested,” Zora said directly, unknowingly

    Congratulations, Mr. Newman. Your wife is one month pregnant," the doctor declared, the atmosphere filled with excitement. The bond they shared brought them unparalleled happiness, each genuinely happy for their friends, including little Esther. Zora and Madison spent time with Coco, leaving Esther with the men. The triplets were adorable, the boys taking after their father and the girl after her mother. "I swear, Zora, this is my first and last time. It hurts like a bitch," Coco said, as Zora and Madison laughed. "I heard women were designed for this. You did amazing, mama. Congratulations," Zora kissed her on the forehead and said. Months later, Zora and Ezrah welcomed their twins, Eugene and Eugenia Gannon, and five months after, Madison had a baby boy, Justin. Esther was the best big sister anyone could ask for. Ethan and Ethel welcomed a daughter, and a year later, they had twins, two girls. Lucas never remarried, unable to get over his ex-wife. One day, he received a messa

    The day before, Rush had called to inform Ezrah and Zora that he and Odette had a son. Due to the distance, they had not yet visited, and now, he was meeting Lake at the hospital without Coco by his side.“Ezrah, what are you doing here?” Lake asked, his joy radiating on his face, but Ezrah was surprised to see him so happy at the hospital.“My wife fainted, and what are you doing here? I don’t remember the hospital being a place for happy people.”Lake laughed and made a joyful revelation. “My wife had triplets. Two boys and one girl. I was just about to call you.”Ezrah recalled Lake wishing for triplets; it seemed he got his heart's desire and something to keep his parents busy.“Congratulations, Lake, you got what you always wanted.”“Yeah, we found happiness. Congratulations to us, but what’s wrong with Zora?” Lake asked again, his joy fading due to the news about Zora, but Ezrah’s explanation lifted his spirits.“I suspect she’s pregnant. She refused to take the pregnancy test, a

    “Lucas, you are insane. I will never choose you over Ethan, and I will never have anything to do with you again,” Ethel said through gritted teeth. Lucas was furious.“Then you leave me no choice,” he yelled and pulled the towel from her.She ran to seek cover in the closet, but he caught her and pulled her to his chest.Ethel felt ashamed and furious as her naked body pressed against his.She tried to free herself, but he was stronger and also drunk.“Why do you want to hide from me? We’ve had each other many times,” he cooed in her ear, but all she felt was disgust and anger.“We were married then, but not anymore. Just let me go,” she tried to push him away to no avail as he tried to force some alcohol down her throat.“I was ready to be kept on the side, but you refused.”After successfully getting the alcohol down her throat and watching her frown as he forced her to swallow it, his lips were closing in on hers.Ethel felt a burning sensation down her throat, and as a woman who n

    Chapter 318 – I loved you before, but not anymoreA week ago, Ethel arrived home with Ethan, but he was called away to take care of a few things because Ezrah was still on his honeymoon.The past month and a few weeks had been peaceful, and with Ethel moving in with Ethan, she had no need for a bodyguard. However, on this particular night, things did not seem the same after Ethan left.Unlike his brothers, Ethan never had his domestic staff live with him, but after his mansion is ready, that will change.They were not only planning their wedding but also their future together. All that they wanted for their kids, they wanted to ensure they had it in the mansion.Ethel had gone to shower after a tiring day at work only to find Lucas seated on her and Ethan’s bed.“Jesus, what are you doing here?” She halted in her steps, right in front of the shower room door.Lucas looked drunk, which made Ethel scared. Before she could reach for her phone to call Ethan, Lucas took it from her and inst

    “Why? Don’t you like it?” Ezrah asked teasingly. Zora screamed, “Like it? I love it, Ezrah. I’m a lover of pools, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.”She couldn’t take her eyes off her room. Everything was natural, with multiple pools scattered around.For the first time, words failed her when she tried to describe the aesthetics of the room.It looked as if it were carved out of natural rocks.Even the footsteps around were made of natural black stones, and the water was crystal clear. She could also see the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.“To clear up your confusion, we are at Papa’s beach, and this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. I thought you would love this as a honeymoon location.”Zora, though rich, had been too focused on business and revenge before. Honestly, she had never heard of this place.“I’m fascinated to be here.”“Great. Let me explain further. This is Calilo on the Greek Island of IOS. There are only 35 suites in this hotel, and each r

    The silence was thick in the air as everybody waited for Ethel’s response, which was not forthcoming.Feeling like he was just being used, Ethan had the understanding that she could not bring herself to trust him.“Dad, she doesn’t love me,” he said on behalf of Ethel. Lucas smiled, but his smile soon went stiff when Ethel responded.“I do, Ethan.”She saw Ethan freeze with a shocked look in his eyes and explained.“I mean, I never imagined having anything to do with my ex-husband’s kid brother, but I’m ready to give it a try.”“You do?” Ethan was so shocked that he lifted her in the air by the waist. “I love you so much, Ethel. I will prove it to you.”Their lips met once again, but they were rudely interrupted by Lucas. “Dad, how can you condone this? It’s shameful.”He could not believe how his submissive housewife could take an interest in his kid brother. This was unexpected.Ethel should have rejected Ethan and not this. However, his mother spoke this time.“You know what, Lucas

    “Kate?” Lucas turned in the direction of Ethel’s gaze, calling out accusingly, but Kate made a 180-degree turn and was headed to the exit when the man she came with blocked her.It was obvious that she was trying to escape the accusation, but everyone was interested in hearing what she had to say.Homewreckers were not exactly welcome at occasions like this, as every woman with a man of her own began to get protective.“You seem to be running away,” the man she came with said, not pleased by the revelation.Lucas walked towards her and questioned, “Did you kick her in the stomach?”Kate was covered in so much shame that her lips trembled because of all the gazes on her and replied, “It was an accident.”“No, it wasn’t,” Ethel interrupted, not upset but wanting to prove a point.“You said I didn’t deserve to carry his child because he didn’t love me. You were right because he divorced me,” Ethel smiled, no longer feeling the pain of losing her scum husband.Only Lucas had a pained expr

    From a distance, Ezrah and Zora watched everything unfold.“Lucas, I need to put him in his place. Can you give me a moment?” Ezrah was about to go to the scene of the incident when Zora held him back.“No. Didn't you say that Ethan seemed genuine with his feelings? Let’s see how he handles this situation.”Ezrah was unsure if Ethan could come out of this cleanly, reminding Zora,“You told me to protect Ethel or better still, let me get her bodyguard.”Zora shook her head. “Sometimes, the heart doesn’t know what it wants until the opportunity presents itself. Let Ethan deal with it.”Ezrah smiled and relented. “Alright. If you say so.”They heard Lucas mocking Ethan and Ethel. “Why? Can’t you kiss your woman? Sebastian has kissed Madison like three times already, even though they aren’t the bride and groom.”Indirectly, he was taking away the opportunity for Ethan to use the event as an excuse for his inability to kiss Ethel.“Lucas, how we choose to define our relationship is none of

    Everyone was excited for Ezrah and Zora, and right after the cake cutting, the couple's dance was announced.Ezrah and Zora had just left the dance floor and were speaking to some guests when other couples took over.Ethan saw it as the perfect opportunity to dance with Ethel, but there were other men eyeing her as well, and they were not afraid to show it.To make matters worse, they reached her before him.“Hi, I’m Rick,” one of them said. Ethan didn't recognize him from their company, which could mean he might be one of Zora’s co-stars.Ethan didn't like this but knew he had to be a gentleman to win Ethel's favor.“Ethel,” she responded with a forced smile, trying to be polite, and somehow, she was glad to see Ethan nearby.It was Ezrah’s birthday, and his focus would only be on his wife. Her bodyguard was there to protect her from danger, not lovers, so he was with the other bodyguards.The only man she had loved all her life was Lucas, and she had never had the chance to mingle b
