After talking with Jay, the man who was last seen with his wife, William decided to go home. He feels freaking tired. He just wanted to lay himself on bed, thinking about his wife and the kids. But then, he was very surprised to see his mother in their house!What the hell!The atmosphere in the house shifted as his mother, the source of much pain and discord, sat on the terrace, seemingly unperturbed by the tension she had ignited. His eyes bore the weight of unspoken anger as he entered, a silent tempest brewing within him. The way his mother sat, filled with air of entitlement, sat on the terrace as if she owned the place."Wow. I can't believe your audacity, mother," he spat out, his tone laced with a cold fury that mirrored the frosty atmosphere. "Where do you get the courage to come here? I didn't want to see you, to be honest."His mother, seemingly unfazed, chuckled condescendingly. "Oh, William, you can't shut me out! I'm still your mother, and I can visit my son whenever I p
William couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling that lingered in the air. His mother's sudden appearance, her knowledge of Tessa's supposed betrayal, and the persuasive tactics she employed left him questioning the motives behind her actions.He paced through the house, his thoughts a chaotic whirlwind. "How did Mother know about Tessa and this... affair? It's as if she had a front-row seat to the drama. But why? And why reveal it now?" he mumbled to himself, his frustration growing.His mind darted to the private investigator. "Could she have hired someone to follow me? Someone who feeds her information about my life?" The very idea left a sour taste in his mouth. The realization that his own mother might be involved in such a scheme disturbed him deeply.The threads of suspicion didn't end with his mother. His thoughts shifted to Cindy, another player in this twisted drama. "Cindy, why would she be so invested in convincing me that Tessa cheated? It doesn't add up. She's never bee
The next morning dawned with a negative energy as Cindy and William’s mother hastened their malevolent plan into action. They are going to meet a group of men, who will frame Tessa, unfolding in an abandoned warehouse.Mrs. Reign, with an air of authority, questioned the assembled group of men, a subtle threat underlying her words, "Are you sure you can do this job?"The apparent leader of the group nodded confidently, responding, "Madam, we're 100% sure! Our work is perfect and clean, no one will trace what happened. Trust us just like we trust you!"The old woman’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction at the assurance. "Perfect. Now, I want you to steal my son's money," she commanded, outlining the details of the sinister plot. She spoke in hushed tones, a dangerous pact forged between them.The men listened attentively, absorbing every word, while Cindy observed the proceedings with a mix of anxiety and determination. All the details were being laid out.Cindy, despite her reservation
The next morning, the syndicate didn’t waste any more time. Inside their white van, the hired men, under the employ of Mrs. Reign, huddled together, their eyes fixed on William's house. The atmosphere was tense as they discussed the intricate details of their mission."I'm sure William is going outside today. As usual, he will find a lead about his wife! So we should use that opportunity to get inside his house and rob it, and use any information to get all of his wealth in bank accounts. Those thing and such!" the leader declared, his tone calculated and cold.The members of the group exchanged glances, nodding in agreement with the plan. Each man was eager to execute the task at hand, fueled by the promise of a hefty reward."But how can we make it like Tessa did it? How can we prove to him that it was his wife who stole his money and wealth?" one of the men inquired, seeking clarity on the intricacies of their deceitful plot.The leader, a shrewd tactician, scoffed at what he perce
William, fresh from his meeting with the private investigator, was eager for updates on Tessa and his children. The investigator promised a photo of Mark, his eldest, later in his email. That’s the only update he got – someone saw a boy who looks like Mark. But not yet a hundred percent sure. However, the news about his mother and Cindy remained elusive, leaving him in a state of uncertainty.Entering his house, an unsettling feeling gnawed at him. The atmosphere seemed different—off-kilter. His eyes widened as he took in the disarray that awaited him. The once-orderly rooms now bore the unmistakable signs of intrusion. Drawers were pulled open, possessions scattered haphazardly, and the air hung heavy with violation.He was freaking shocked! William surveyed the wreckage of his home, realizing that someone had invaded his personal space. His heart raced as he assessed the damage, the magnitude of the intrusion sinking in. He wondered who would do such a thing, and why.The rooms, onc
Inside their master’s bedroom, William tossed and turned, his mind full of thoughts. Sleep eluded him, and the weight of the recent events pressed heavily on his shoulders. The room, once a paradise of love, now felt like a haunting reminder of the life he had known.The silence of the night was shattered by the echoes of distress reverberating within his mind. The robbery had stripped away not just his material possessions but also his sense of security and peace. He couldn't understand the audacity of those who did this evil plan, leaving him vulnerable and exposed.The images of their stolen wealth, the result of years of hard work and dedication, flashed before his eyes. The business ventures, the sacrifices—they were all reduced to ashes because of a fucking monster who steal everything from them!His gaze drifted to the empty side of the bed, where Tessa would usually be. The absence of his wife’s presence intensified the ache in his heart. The woman he loved was missing, and no
William clutched his phone tightly, the frustration evident in his voice. He dialed the number he knew by heart, praying for answers that could unravel the twisted web of betrayal surrounding him.The private investigator picked it up, a mix of concern and surprise coloring his voice. "William, what's going on? I can hear the distress in your voice?”He wasted no time. "I need updates, and I need them now. The police came, accusing Tessa of robbing our house. What the hell? They showed me CCTV footage, and, damn it, the woman looks like Tessa! But I can't believe she'd do such a thing. What do you have on my mother and Cindy? Are they behind this?"The private investigator took a moment to absorb the information. "I've been looking into your mother and Cindy, but so far, there's no concrete evidence of their involvement in any recent suspicious activity. As for Tessa... I'm sorry to hear that, William. I can't imagine what you're going through."William continued, "I need you to find
The private investigator discreetly trailed Mrs. Reign and Cindy to a local restaurant, keeping a safe distance while eavesdropping on their conversation. He listened intently, he couldn't believe the sinister plot unfolding before him.Inside the lavish restaurant, Mrs. Reign's anger was palpable as she spoke about William's unwavering trust in Tessa. The investigator strained to capture every word, understanding that this conversation might hold the key to unraveling the truth."What? Did your son believe that Tessa robbed him?" Cindy inquired with a sly grin, her eyes gleaming with mischief.Mrs. Reign, visibly irritated, responded, "My stupid son still loves his wife! He's head over heels in love with her! He doesn't believe that Tessa robbed him!""Maybe, because the woman who pretended as Tessa isn't so convincing?" Cindy suggested, raising an eyebrow."What? It looks exactly like Tessa! He even said it looks like his wife! He's just in denial! How stupid can he get?!" Mrs. Reig
So the two of them stepped out of the bar, he couldn't contain his excitement. He was determined to make Sarah his, consequences be damned. He led her to his newest sports car, a sleek and shiny machine that screamed luxury."Wow, is this your car, Lucas?" Sarah asked, her eyes wide with awe.Lucas smirked, loving the way she looked at him. "Of course. I have a collection of sports cars in my villa," he boasted, opening the car door for her.Sarah climbed into the passenger seat, impressed by Lucas's display of wealth and power. As they drove towards her place, Lucas couldn't help but try to impress her even more."So, Sarah, tell me about your family. What do they do in life?" Lucas asked, trying to steer the conversation away from his own deception.Sarah hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. "My parents are in marketing, and many more," she replied finally. "They are constantly moving from town to another town because of business.”Lucas raised an eyebrow, intrigued
"I couldn't help but notice you from across the room. You look absolutely stunning in that emerald dress. I’m not gonna lie, when I tell you that,”Sarah smiled politely, but there was a hint of skepticism in her eyes. "Thank you," she replied. "And let me just say, you have the most captivating smile I've ever seen." He said, extending his hands.Sarah chuckled softly. "You certainly know how to lay on the charm, don't you?"Lucas grinned, feeling emboldened by her response. "I like to think I have a way with words. So, what brings a beautiful woman like you to a place like this?"He couldn't resist the urge to show off. He casually mentioned his successful businesses, subtly hinting at his wealth and success. "I own a few businesses myself," he said casually. "Nothing too fancy, just a few million-dollar ventures here and there."Sarah raised an eyebrow, impressed despite herself. "That's quite impressive. It must keep you busy?”He shrugged nonchalantly. "It does, but I always mak
The luxury high-end bar was highly recommendable in the town, with its glittering chandeliers, plush velvet couches, and marble-topped tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, creating a sophisticated ambiance. The place was bustling with well-dressed patrons, sipping on expensive cocktails and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.And inside of the place, Lucas Davis sat at the bar, a glass of whiskey in hand, a smirk on his face. Despite being engaged, he was determined to enjoy his night out and relish in the attention of others. He was known as the "life of the party,". He took a sip of his drink, Lucas's eyes scanned the room, taking in the scene around him. He saw his "friends," the sons of wealthy businessmen, approaching him with smiles on their faces."Lucas! You're here too! What the hell, man!" one of them exclaimed, clapping him on the back."Of course, I'm here. I'm everywhere," He replied with a cocky grin, reveling in the attention."But I heard you were very busy
Lucas Davis was seething with anger. His face was red, and his hands trembled with frustration as he paced back and forth in his office. Harper watched him with a smirk, enjoying his display of rage."I can't believe that old man, mom! Imagine that? He wasted my time! My time is too precious just to be wasted! How dare he decline us? They're the ones who set up an appointment with us! They're the ones who need us!" He shouted, his voice echoing off the walls.His mother chuckled wickedly. "Yes, the nerve of him! I can't believe William declined us. Well, he hasn't declined yet, he told us he'll think twice.""The nerve of him! Doesn't that old guy know who we are? We're billionaires! Everyone wants to get a partnership with me!" Lucas roared, his fists clenched in fury.Harper stood up, her eyes flashing with malice. "Hey, calm down, Lucas. We need to be strategic about this. You can't let our emotions control you!”Lucas glared at her. "I am calm, Mom! I just can't stand it when some
Finally, after like the end of the world, William and his wife got back home. The heavy feeling of the day seemed to hang heavy on his shoulders. He sank onto the sofa, feeling drained and stressed from the encounter with Lucas Davis and his mother.“Ahh! So tired!” He complained while massaging his neck.His wife watched him closely, her expression unreadable. "So, have you decided, William?" she asked, her voice tense.He rubbed his temples, feeling the beginnings of a headache. "I can't decide yet, Cindy. We just got home, please, not now." he replied, his tone weary.Cindy's face tightened at his response. She, too, was exhausted, but she knew they needed to make a decision soon. "I'm exhausted too! It's Not just you! But you need to decide soon. If you manage to sign the deal with Lucas Davis, then your mother will let you support your long-lost children," she reminded him, pretending to care for his children."I know that, Cindy!" William snapped, his patience wearing thin. "But
He can't help but chuckle bitterly. Now, he finally understood. His mother and Harper Davis have the same evil personality.They would do everything just for their gain. They're just both evil."You hate Harper, but you aren't aware that you're just the same as her, mom.”"How dare you compare me to that woman?!" she seethed, her voice sharp with indignation. "I would never stoop to her level!"His own frustration bubbling to the surface. "You're both willing to manipulate and use anyone, even your own family, to get what you want. How is that any different? You may not see it, but your actions speak otherwise. Using my children as pawns in your games is just as ruthless as anything Harper Davis would do!”His mother's eyes flashed with fury. "I've only ever wanted what's best for you and your children! How can you accuse me of such things? Why can’t you understand me, huh? Are we going to fight forever, William?”"Because it's true, mom! You blackmailed me, you used my children as le
They left the meeting room and went inside the elevator. After the doors closed, the tension among them was palpable. His mother's face was flushed with anger, and his wife's expression was a mix of frustration and disappointment."William, this is madness! How could you let this opportunity slip away? We could have had a deal with the Davis family!" his mother berated him, her voice echoing in the confined space.His wife chimed in, her tone sharp with accusation. "Yeah, I can't believe you! You had the chance to secure a partnership with one of the most influential families in the business world, and you just let it go!"He tried to defend his decision. "I couldn't agree to the deal without knowing all the details. I need to be sure it's the right move for our company."His mother scoffed, clearly unimpressed. "Details? What details? Lucas Davis offered us a golden opportunity, and you threw it away because of your stubbornness!""You never listen to anyone, do you?" Cindy looks ver
Lucas Davis entered the room with a casual swagger, his eyes flickering with a hint of amusement. He was well aware of the tension in the air, but it didn't seem to faze him in the slightest."Ohh, we have guests today! Mr. Reign, my apologies for the delay. Business calls, you know how it is," Lucas said with a dismissive wave of his hand, as if being late was a minor inconvenience.William felt a surge of irritation. "I understand that, Mr. Davis. However, being punctual is a sign of respect. It shows that you value the other person's time," he replied, his tone firm.Lucas chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Respect, Mr. Reign? In the world of business, respect is earned, not given. And I'm sure you'll agree, I've earned my fair share."He gritted his teeth, struggling to maintain his composure. He could feel his wife’s hand on his arm, a silent reminder to stay calm."I'm here to discuss a potential partnership between our companies, Mr. Davis. However, I must insist on professi
He can feel the tension in the room was palpable. Cindy and his mother were fidgeting in their seats, exchanging excited whispers, while he sat back, trying to remain composed."Why are you both so excited?" He asked again, his tone more insistent this time.His wife gave him an exasperated look. "Dear, are you stupid or what? Don't you understand? This meeting could change everything for us. The Davis family is a huge opportunity for our business," she explained, her eyes shining with anticipation."But what if it's not what we expect? What if it's a trap?" He countered, his skepticism evident.His mother chimed in, her voice stern. "William, stop being so negative. I’m sick and tired of you, son! We have to be optimistic about this. Besides, Lucas Davis is a brilliant businessman. We could learn a lot from him!”He sighed, knowing he wouldn't win this argument. He leaned back in his chair, resigned to the fact that he would have to go through with the meeting, whether he liked it or
