"Where is my wife?" Ezrah asked, addressing no one in particular, trying to avoid the scrutinizing gazes. It was a shame that his parents and brothers had arrived at the hospital before him, but how could he have known? Zora had only mentioned leaving a parcel for him at home.

How could he have known it was going to be a suicide note? The victorious glint in his elder brothers' eyes annoyed him the most. Even as the youngest of the three brothers, Ezrah excelled in everything. Undoubtedly, his brothers envied him as he was also the apple of his parents' eyes.

The disappointed look in his father's eyes caused unease in his heart. Even his mother's gaze lost the usual warmth she always welcomed him with.

"You should have been the first to arrive, but I even got here before you," his elder brother, Ethan Gannon, sneered. As if that wasn't enough, Ezrah's second elder brother, Lucas Gannon, added salt to the injury.

"I just saw it from here. He must have been with that woman, and they wer

    “Were your parents aware of everything?” Coco asked as they arrived at her two-bedroom apartment. Being old friends, they had a lot to catch up on as she hadn’t seen Zora in a long time.Talking on the phone once in a while was not enough for them to share all that was happening in their lives. Zora removed her shoes at the entrance, noticing how well Coco kept her small apartment neat with everything well arranged.Zora loved having things organized as well, and this was the first time they were going to live together, so she was sure she wasn’t going to inconvenience her best friend.“Dad sent the car with two dead bodies from the morgue. He also arranged for the jet and a hacker to cover the CCTVs somehow after I got down from the cab and walked towards the car he sent,” Zora revealed.The moment she was discharged from the hospital, she began planning everything but could not execute it without her parents' help.Being an only child, her happiness, more than anything else, mattere

    Zora had no intention of taking that path. Her goal was to learn new skills to help develop the business she wanted to set up. Having honed her skills with the Gannons, it lifted her spirits, making her realize how profitable she could be in that field.“My mom moved in circles in the movie industry. It just doesn’t appeal to me.”She didn’t want to mention Coco either and instead added, “I’d rather explore something different. I want to learn ethical hacking, clothing design, and modeling. Anything related to fashion is what I want to pursue,” she said thoughtfully.The best revenge would be to develop herself to be better than she was before, and when she succeeds, she would ensure that nobody could help Piper for what she did to her unborn child.Although Coco knew that Zora could still achieve all the aforementioned with help from her parents, she still couldn't allow her to stay alone at the apartment.“While you're at it, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. I just don’t want

    “I’m sorry, Piper, but let’s break up for now,” Ezrah's expression was aloof as he delivered those words as if they were inconsequential. Piper was dumbfounded, shock registering on her face.After carefully orchestrating that accident to leave no traces behind, she was relieved that even though Zora had escaped, another accident claimed her life, indicating that fate had intervened.Just when Piper thought everything was finally falling into place as it should have been, Ezrah dropped this heartbreaking news.“Ezrah, what are you talking about?” Her expression was so glum that not even all the makeup could brighten it. It was as if she had just risen from the grave.Ezrah remained aloof. At that moment, all he could think about was the Company and his image in front of the media.He may not have been a good husband to Zora, but she had still protected him. How could he let her sacrifices be in vain? Being with Piper would only disrespect those sacrifices.“You heard me, Piper. My wif

    “Well, that is my condition. If you break up with me, I will tell my father to withdraw everything. So, what do you think? Do you still want to break up with me?”Piper was certain that Ezrah would change his mind. After all, he prioritized money more than anything in the world.Ezrah thought carefully. That partnership would boost the Gannons’ finances by twenty percent, but if he moved on so fast, then it would only confirm Ethan’s accusation that Piper was the reason for Zora’s death.In the worst case, he would lose his position to either of his elder brothers, and that would also mean disaster for the company, which has thrived over the years under Ezrah’s leadership. After coming to a conclusion, he pushed the file he was scrutinizing before back to her.“You should know by now that I’m not one who flinches at threats. Goodbye, Piper.”Piper was so shocked, a tear dropped down her cheek. Was Ezrah planning to remarry Zora’s dead body? How could he let go of such an opportunity b

    Coco had forgotten to warn Zora about the Queen of the movie industry, Bianca Davis. Anyone who wanted to climb higher would have to kowtow to her as she was the fiancée of the producer, Zane Green himself. The actresses patronized her as her recommendations were always final, and no one dared to cross Bianca. Sadly, Coco was not in Bianca’s good books as a result of continuously refusing to dance to her tune. She ended up not only with minor roles but also with bullying like this during auditions or the main shoot. “It's alright, Zora. Please don’t get into trouble,” Coco whispered in her ears, but Zora was too upset to be reasoned with. Having dealt with Ezrah’s brothers, she hated the likes of Bianca, who felt like the world revolved around them. Director Sonny saw everything unfold and did not utter a word. It seemed like Bianca met her match this time or Coco got the right person to stand in her defense. “No. She stepped on your foot. I saw it, and she has to apologize,” Zora

    Zora felt at a loss. If the producer sacked her, then who was this man to tell her otherwise? Perhaps it was because he hadn’t seen what had transpired earlier. She tried to explain it to him. “But…” “He’s Mr. Newman,” Coco took the words out of her mouth. Zora stared at her with confusion on her face, not knowing who Mr. Newman was. Coco understood the confusion on her face, going on to explain. “The biggest investor of the production. He must have seen everything through the CCTV.” It was one of Mr. Newman’s hobbies to casually check if his money was being put to good use. One of his clauses was also to bring up new faces in the movie industry, as viewers tend to get tired of the old ones unless they are extremely good. It was better for him to weigh his options the right way. Zora was glad the studio had cameras. At least there was someone higher than Zane to give justice to someone like her. She stole a glance at him, seeing how the man had paled, and even Bianca had moved away

    Mr. Newman’s expression was slightly sorrowful as he revealed, “As a babysitter.” Zora scoffed and was about to refuse when he made the greatest revelation. “But you would have to marry him. It’s simple. I want you to marry my son for one year. I will pay you handsomely for it.” Zora didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. After experiencing a loveless marriage firsthand, she was not willing to make that mistake again. Not even someone as powerful as Mr. Newman could make her consider it. “Mr. Newman, I think you have the wrong person. I’m neither ready to be a babysitter nor get married. I’m sorry, but you just wasted your time.” She opened the car door, about to step out when he explained calmly, “My son had an accident and is in a vegetative state. Before that, a girl was pregnant for him but died giving birth to his child on the same day he had the accident.” Zora paused, puzzled by the revelation. This situation seemed more

    Coco weighed the options. Zora had married Ezrah with a prenup, but in this situation, she would walk away as a billionaire. She only wanted the best for her best friend, telling her exactly what she would have done under the same circumstances, given the same situation. “It’s not a bad idea since he’s in a vegetative state. You can check his health records and make sure he isn’t waking up anytime soon. Also, make sure you put everything into writing. Have the contract signed in your interest.” “Trust me, that money would be a great start-up for whatever business you want to venture into. Minor roles would never give you that amount even in twenty years.” Zora thought through Coco’s suggestions. Her family’s net worth was worth millions, and after a few years, she could return to New York after her companies were flourishing and begin to avenge her dead child. “I think you have a point, but I will still think about it a little. Let’s eat first. I need a lot of rest.” Back in New Y

    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
