“I am sorry to say but we are in a professional relationship. I have never considered him to be anything more because I know that he is a married man. “Heather replied.“I beg to differ but I find that hard to believe given the way you are holding on to his arms. Even a blind man can see that you two are sleeping together. Jack, how does it feel to betray your wife with her lookalike? “Isabel wouldn’t stop until she put those two in their places.“I am sorry but this interview should be about business because this is a celebration ceremony for the company. Making baseless accusations to destroy the company image seem to me like you have been sent by our competitor. “Heather answered with a smile on her face. Isabel turned the mic on Heather’s face and then stated “Dear viewers, I know that you are eager to hear something from the woman herself. Miss Heather, can you confirm that you are the mistress?”“Of course not. I am a highly respectable woman and I know my boundaries. Jack is
“Damn fucking idiot “Monica cursed loudly and left the hospital premises. “Wesley, we are not done here. I am coming back to deal with you. You better not try anything stupid on my friend. “She added powerlessly.Now that he was with Caroline, he started to relax a bit. He had instructed Luke to cancel all his appointments because he planned to take care of Caroline the whole of the night. Caroline was more precious to him than any other meetings or business deals.He caressed her face and kissed her slightly on the cheeks “As long as l am here, no one is ever going to hurt you again. But why are you so unlucky? why are all of us who are associated with you keeps on betraying you? “He asked holding her hands.Finally, he removed his coat and laid beside Caroline. He lifted her body and held her on his chest. Wesley didn’t care whether they were in the hospital or whether the doctor might come in any time and scold him.All that he wanted was for Caroline to feel his support even when
Caroline’s face became pale “were you spying on me? Just when I thought that you are beginning to seem like a reasonable person, you go and do this to me? You two have disappointed me. I would have appreciated it if you would have just told me the truth.”“I did it in good faith because I never trusted Jack from the day your father was killed. He has been behaving oddly for a person whose wife has faced two major tragedies. If I were in his place, I would have taken a bullet for you but instead he ran away leaving you alone. Don’t you think that is odd?” Wesley asked.“And I think that the two-shooting incidence are related. I have been investigating it secretly and the ballistic report show that the same type of guns was used. So, it must be the same person responsible for the two shooting. May be, he or she hired he same people. “Zoe explained.“I am sorry to say this but why would someone assassinate your father and then immediately Jack schemes to takes his company? I might not h
Wesley has been with her the whole night. Not even her very own husband cared to come and ask about her health. She wanted to snap at him but she just couldn’t forget that he came through for her over and over again.Even if he doesn’t want to admit it, she knows that he was the one who saved her on the day that she was about to be killed in the forest. she can never forget his familiar scent and voice“It is nice for you to support me but this is my problem. If you don’t mind, I would like to handle it on my own. You have already wasted enough of your time taking care of me when you really didn’t have to” she said as Monica helped her pack her bagsIt was just enough for him that she was no longer looking at him with hate.“Alright …I will leave you to it then but remember that if you have any problem, call me. I will just be a phone call away “he kissed her cheeks and then hurriedly left the hospital.A while later, she had been discharged and she headed straight away to the mansi
“But you said that you will wait for me and I was going to keep my word, Jack. A person cannot control how her heart feels or who her heart wants but I was willing to change that because I wanted a stable life for my child. It is a shame that you didn’t believe in me and took me as your enemy when I knew nothing of what my father did to you. ““My God …you could have approached me and we would have worked out this together, Jack. What went wrong?”“Don’t you dare pretend with me. Everything went wrong the moment you appeared back in to my life. I am tired of giving love that will never be reciprocated.” he snapped.“I loved you in my own way but what hurts me the most is that you have brought an innocent child in to this mess. Jack, I trusted you with her. why did you do this to me?”“I really love the kid and she honestly have nothing to do with this but I couldn’t accept that I didn’t have you by myside. Caroline, we have been married for a couple of months now and you haven’t tri
“Uncle Jack…you promised me that you won’t hurt my Mommy. I regret ever calling you my second dad. Don’t ever come near me or my Mommy again. You don’t deserve her. “Angel said as she held on to her mother’s hands tight.“Angel, sweetie. I have nothing against you. I swear that I have always loved you and I would have loved for us to get to know each other more. Please, don’t look at me like that. If you don’t believe me, you can still stay back with me. I will spoil you so much” Jack honestly liked Angel“I will never leave my mommy’s side. she is the only one who has ever loved me not you. If you did love me then you wouldn’t have done what you did. The moment that you hurt my mommy, you did the same to me. Good bye, my mother and I will just be fine. See you never. “Angel stated and then turned to her mother “let us go, I don’t want to stay in this house anymore. I don’t like this man, he is mean. ““Goodbye, Jack” Caroline said one last time.As Caroline hurried outside the door,
Jack started thinking seriously about the conversation that she just had with Caroline. There was someone trying to twist the situation and make him look like he was the murderer. Was there someone who hated the Morgan family?His eyes turned dark immediately as he asked coldly “Who could be behind Dismas’s death?”A thought came in to his head. Hurriedly, he took his coat and went outside only to see Caroline getting away in Wesley’s car. How conveniently for her? She couldn’t even wait for the dust to settle on their divorce before running back to Wesley .However, now he had an important issue to talk about with his mother. She was the one who convinced him that he should take his revenge on Dismas. Was she the one responsible for that man’s death? What he knew was that Agnes hated Dismas with passion.“Hello Son. You remembered me?” Agnes greeted as soon as Jack made his way into her house.” she hadn’t seen him for quite some time and she was eager for him to tell her what has
“Well…focus on your life now. I will search around and see who is trying to frame you, okay. I know some of my contacts who can help me with this matter. Cheer up, son. “Agnes said as she hugged his head just like she had done when he was little “I love you so much and I can never do something that will intentionally hurt you ““I know, mother. Please forgive me. You have always been there for me and I have no right to mistrust you. I guess seeing Caroline leaving with Wesley got in to my head. But why can’t things return to the way that they used to be? we used to live a simple life. No secrets, betrayals, revenge or anything similar. I miss those old good days.”“You will work hard to forget her. Please promise me. She will never be good for you. You have lived a very sad life and you deserve someone who will love you for who you are. You need someone who will compensate for all those years that you were alone. “Agnes stated.Jack only stared at her and then kissed the back of her h
Agnes wanted to run but the guards blocked her way. Heather stood dumbfounded when she recognized the faces standing before her.“You fucking bitch, you betrayed us?” Heather screamed at the top of her voice, her body shaking with anger.Paula stood there bringing out an air of arrogance.“What if I did? I am only interested in money and not useless monkeys who have no life. Isn’t it better for the two of you to die? Did you even believe that I was going to hand over my money to you guys? ” Uh… Don’t make me laugh.” Paula continued to say sarcastically.“Shut up, Paula. You promised. I can give you money. I can even give you the whole of Baron corporation if you help me convince them to let me go.” Agnes was desperate as her chest moved up and down with nervousness. she has never been in a tight corner like today. she was doomed.“So, who laid her fingers on my grandson?” Grand ma Grace asked, eyes blazing with fire. Agnes started shivering. She has heard about Jane’s mother and she
“You will stay here for tonight. Paula will go and negotiate with my mother. “Sophia instructed as she entered inside the house with the three of them.Inside was pitch black, the smell of dust waffled on their noses as each one of them started sneezing at the dump smell coming from the house. It has been a while since she had been here and Sophia knew that it would be in a terrible state. It didn’t matter anyway, her current state of life was even worse.“I am sorry, you guys will have to just bear with the situation. It will only be for a short time. We will help each other clean up a bit. Thanks. “She said not bothered if any of them was willing.Afterwards, Paula left to go back home while Sophia remained with Heather and Agnes. They knew that the two could not be trusted. For the plan to work, they had to think outside the box.First thing in the morning, Paula went directly to her grandmother’s hotel and knocked on the door. She proceeded inside and found Grace reading a news
In just another one hour, they stopped at the parking of a small dispensary.“We are here, mum. Just follow me inside. I have a surprise waiting for you “Paula was usually happy today and she couldn’t put her fingers on what exactly she was up to.When an idea gets in to her tough headed mind, she will never let go. Either way she followed her in to the room only to come face to face with the two women sleeping on a bed with IV drops on their arms. She looked at Heather closely and realized that she resembled Caroline so much, she could mistake them for twins. The only difference between them was their eye and hair color.But she was clearheaded, she knew that she gave birth to a single baby and so Heather must be a fake.On the other hand, Agnes was a bit older with a short-disheveled air. Even in her sleep, she still seemed like a dubious person. Sophia just knew it by looking because she belonged in the same basket.“How did you find them this fast “Paula smiled not giving away
When that man took her daughter from her, she felt relieved. The only thing that she wanted was to forget the experience and move on with her life as if nothing happened.When he offered her money, it was her easiest escape from everything. She understood that he also didn’t want anything to do with her. She didn’t foresee that abandoning her baby will still affect her. Her life wasn’t the same anymore. she started behaving reckless in order to make the pain go away. Her life drastically changed.At the back of her mind, she knew that she will never see her baby again. After all she was taken by a mysterious wealthy man who didn’t want his identity to be known. He left no clues about where he took her baby. How could she have known that she will one day meet her daughter and the worst part of it was that she had been close to her all these years.How could she be this stupid?Well…...she never looked at her when she was born. She couldn’t even remember a single feature that she ha
“Don’t worry, I will tell you everything that you need to know, sweetie. You are mine and who else can accept you as family apart from me? When I am done seeing you, I am going to kick those two asses who tried to kill you. They will pay with blood. “Grand ma Grace said and then stood up before looked at Monica with gentleness “Darling, thank you for taking care of him. You are truly a goodhearted girl. “Monica knew that Caroline was keeping a secret but she never imagined that it would be this life changing. out from nowhere, Jack now has family and a grandmother who adores him like something so precious in her life. Finally, things were looking bright in his life and she could only wish the very best for him.“It was nothing. When you love someone, you are capable of doing anything for them.” Monica simply said and Caroline finally understood it all.Monica had sacrificed her love for Jack for her sake. She was really lucky to have her as a friend.“Sweetie, why didn’t you say som
It wasn’t funny at all. There were a lot of people who were going to lose their livelihoods, people afraid of losing their careers that they have worked so hard for. Not mentioning the patients who depended on them.Now that he was awake, they could all breathe a sigh of relief.“You said that you love me. Have you been in love with me all these years? “Jack asked looking utterly astonishedTears instantly rolled on her cheeks like a river refusing to stop” You never noticed me, bastard. All your thoughts and body were for Caroline, I was like a distant buzzing of a bee on your ears. How can I say something when she was my closest friend? Even after you two were no longer together, you still didn’t look my way and went for another woman. I must be so despicable to you, right?”Jack felt his heart tighten. He was shocked beyond words. It is said that love was unconditional and it comes in the most unusual way.Monica has shown him the truth about the complicated theory. More than anyon
Just typical of Sophia.“Honey, I thought that you have changed. How could you do this to me? I have given you chances over and over again yet you keep on disappointing me. what did I ever do wrong with you? I Wasn’t going to leave you two empty handed. I am still your mother, and I wouldn’t leave you unprotected. ““Mother, I just wanted to make sure that you didn’t leave me penniless. You have never favored me in any way. What was I supposed to do? ““So, what if she is not my sister? If not her stupidity, we would have pulled this off.” Paula added with arrogance.“Shut up, little brat.” Grand ma Grace shouted.“Please …don’t send me to jail. I can’t stand the thought of being locked again “Jessica was crying hysterically while kneeling in front of Grace, but she had no room for pity. She didn’t pity her when she wanted to take her hard-earned fortune. She was going to deal with her accordingly.“Guards, take her straight away to jail and make sure that she gets a life sentence
Grand ma Grace smiled sweetly, her sincerity unmistakable.“Of course, but just know that I am not doing this for you. It is for the sake of my granddaughter. I have missed her for so many years and this is my way of making it up to all the hardships that she had to face. ““That is right, Grand ma. Go ahead and sign the document “Paula added looking anxious.Grand ma Grace took the document and was about to sign the document when Caroline found her voice and announced “She is fake. Grand ma, I am your real granddaughter. Don’t sign anything. “Everyone’s one’s eyes turned to Caroline as tears was streaming down on her cheeks.Sophia looked at Caroline disgustedly as she sneered “What is wrong with you? You are my sister’s daughter. Gosh…...I hate you and someone like you will never come out of me. Please don’t disturb us anymore.”“Caroline, you weren’t invited here. Why are you here, anyway? Are you here to manipulate my grandmother in to giving you her wealth?”” Paula asked, eyes b
This town was his life, it shaped him to who he was today and stepping his foot on its soil felt like home. In this town, he got a second chance at life when no one wanted him. He will always hold it dear to his heart.“We are here “Wesley announced as he parked the car in front of the Owen’s mansion.Other luxurious cars were already parked, arranged in a neat line— having different colors, shape and make. With no doubt, it signaled that the event was for only the upper elites.Caroline climbed down the car, she didn’t even wait for Wesley to open her door. For her, she felt that every second that she waited meant that her grandmother will make the worst decision of her life.She had to save her somehow. She was her last hope or the Owen’s family heritage will be turned to dust never to be remembered.Inside the mansion, in a secluded corner, stood Sophia, Paula and Jessica. Jessica’s eyes scanned through the crowd, sharp like a hawk, nervousness edged behind her calm façade. T
