"Daddy, daddy, aunt Meg." Nancy and her sister ran and hugged their father and then greeted aunt Meg. As their hands intertwined and encircled their father's legs, everywhere went silent. Zach shut his eyes and breathed in and out heavily. He missed this. Heissed his kids. It had just been a few weeks, but Zach felt like he was away from his kids, his wife, for a long long time. No doubt Zach loved his family. Everyone knew this, even grandma Lois who stood there contemplating what was going on. Megan stared into Lois's eyes, but she quickly threw them away. She could not face her. When Meg was still very little, Lois always paid her mother a visit along with little Kristien. Overtime, the two girls grew strong bond and became the bests of friends. On the night before Kristien got married to Zach, Meg kept crying, telling her not to go away. Getting married would simply separate them. While Kristien tried consoling her friend with a hug, she percieved a farmilia
The last few days had been a living hell for Ethan. He had lost everything he held dear - his small job, his reputation, his freedom, and worst of all, his sweetheart Amanda. He hated the prison. Ethan was shocked. The only person who called him Buen hijo was…. Ethan turned back and gasped in bewilderment. "Mama?! Papa?!!!" He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating, but as the couple came closer, he realized that it was his parents. He had not seen them in years since they stayed in Mexico. He didn't even know how they knew where he was. His mother rushed towards him and hugged him, tears streaming down her face. "Hijo, we are here for you," she said in Spanish. Ethan was overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events. He had been so focused on clearing his name that he had forgotten about his parents. "What were you thinking hijo? What were you thinking?" His mother ranted. Ethan had eloped some muscles and beard and he he was looking more defined than before. It
Nancy called, but her mother did not respond.. She was probably busy with work. So, she dropped a message. "Hello mommy, it's me Nancy. Daddy's here with Aunt Meg an they want to take us to Chicago. Please come back home mom so we can all stay together. Call me when you see this." She said and hung up the call, then, she went to the garden to sit with her parrot. Smart girl huh? "Nancy come back here and open this door. C'mon sweetie. Daddy needs to leave now!" Zach said and banged on the door gently. Zach walked to and fro in the sitting room with his hands around his waist. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to face his wife. She was a tough woman and may end up disgracing him again. He wanted to just let her be for some time. He looked at Meg who was now sitting on a little stool besides the kitchen counter, then he walked up to Granny Lois. "Are the other doors locked? I must leave now mother!" "What is wrong with you Zach? What has gotten over you? Is there som
"Amanda, where are you? We need to see now!" ************* Amanda just got off the call after she had finished speaking with Kristien. It left her visibly shaken. Ethan immediately noticed the change in her demeanour. He could see the fear in her eyes, and he knew something was amiss. Ethan had promised that no more harm would come to her right in front of everyone. This was the first way he would be needing to prove it, so he asked, "What's wrong, Miss? Who was that?" Jameson stepped forward to be part of the conversation while Mr. Albert and his wife simply stood behind the scene waiting for Ethan's next move. They didn't really give a good proper home training to their kids, but to some extent, he was taught to obey. Yet, Ethan had just clearly said No to his parents' demand. Amanda paused for a moment, contemplating whether to share with Ethan or not. He had just ignored his parents'request because of her. If she tells him…... But Ethan's gaze was so sincere that she
Mr. Chester knelt down, kissed her forehead and used his hands to cover her eyes. "Sleep Bee. I'll tell you everything you need to know. For now, get some rest. Okay?" Beatrix nodded. She hoped that this man who identified himself as her father was really her father and was a good man. "Put me on a call with officer Don now! I want to see everything and make sure those culprits are caught and dealt with!" The governor said to his P.A walking out the room. While the man followed him along with the security guards trying to call officer Don, he stopped the governor. "Sir, this has something to do with the death of Mrs. Winston. Many secrets are unfolding!" Mr. Chester stopped working and turned his head to his P.A. "What?!" ****** Governor Chester had been sitting in the hospital room for hours, his daughter, Beatrix recovering from the traumatic events of her kidnapping and accident. The look on his face was one of utter defeat, yet a burning determination smoulde
Zach sat slumped on the kitchen counter, his head in his hands. He felt like everything had gone wrong in the blink of an eye. One moment he was cooking lunch with Meg, and the next, his daughter had caught him in the act of cheating on her mother with her mother's friend. The guilt and shame weighed heavily on Zach, and he knew that he had made a grave mistake. He had betrayed the trust of the people he loved the most, and he had no idea how to make things right.********** Zach had always prided himself on being a good father. He'd tried his best to be there for his daughters, supporting them through everything and being a constant presence in their life. But now, Nancy sat in the border of the swimming pool behind the pool, tears streaming down her face, as she had earlier seen her father pawing at another woman in the kitchen. And it was not just any other woman, it was Megan. The person she trusted so much. For Zach, it was like a switch had been flipped. He'd been caught
New Hilton City was the epitome of modernization. It was a city designed for the rich and famous, a place where only the most affluent members of society could call home. The buildings that lined the streets were tall and sleek, their polished facades reflecting the sunlight that shone down upon them. Beautifully designed parks and gardens were scattered throughout the city, where the rich could often be seen taking leisurely strolls, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. However, the city was not always what it is today. A few years ago, New Hilton City was rocked by a devastating earthquake that tore through the city, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. But instead of dwelling on the past, the city took it as an opportunity to rebuild and evolve, to become even better than it was before. Sounds farmiliar? With the help of the latest technology, the rebuilding process was swift and efficient. Within a few years, the city had become a marvel of modern engine
The Lynch Hotel was more than just a hotel. It was a symbol of wealth and luxury, a place where only the elite could afford to stay. It was the most expensive hotel in New Hilton City, and only millionaires like the governor, Amanda, Colton and Blake, and a few other exclusive affluent individuals could afford to stay there. Amanda preferred to stay there and while away time than to attend boring meetings with clients. But she knew she had to do it. Especially now that the company was under her name fully. As soon as you entered the hotel, you were greeted by a grand foyer with high ceilings and glittering chandeliers. The reception desk looked more like a boutique counter, with attentive staff dressed in smart suits waiting to cater to your every need. The hotel's interior decor was elegant, with a traditional yet modern design. The walls were made of polished marble, and the floors were covered with plush carpets. The artwork adorning the walls was priceless, with original paint
