He forced a smile in response, the weight of his unspoken plans pressing against his chest.His wife worked around the kitchen, the clatter of pans and the aroma of breakfast filling the air. He sat down at the table and couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. The breakfast made him remember a hollow life because of his no-closure past.His wife placed a plate before him, her smile radiant as she urged him to eat. "I made your favorite, dear.

Mrs. Reign asked, her tone tinged with curiosity. "And where is William?"Well, she’s not really going out with friends. She just made an alibi so she could go here.Cindy's facade of composure cracked, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "Your son," she began, her voice betraying her exasperation. "He's been acting strangely lately. I can't make sense of his behavior."The old woman’s eyebrow furrowed in concern, her gaze sharpening as she studied Cindy. "Strange? In what way?"Cindy hesitated, the weight of her suspicions pressing down on her. "He's been distant, secretive. I can feel that he's hiding something from me," sh

"Yes, darling. Business as usual," he replied smoothly, the practiced ease of his lies sending a shiver down Cindy's spine.Cindy bid her husband farewell, her mind already racing with plans of her own. She waited until he was safely out of sight before slippi

After a successful day for William, he entered their home, the pungent scent of alcohol hit him like a wave, his senses instantly alerting him to the fact that something was amiss. He followed the trail of the scent to the mini-bar, where he found his wife slumped over, a half-empty bottle of whiskey clutched in her hand."Where did you go, William?" Cindy slurred, her words thick with intoxication.William hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He knew that telling Cindy the truth about his meeting with the private investigator would only lead to more questions and arguments. And right now, he didn't have the patience for either."I had some business to attend to," he replied evasively, his tone guarded.Cindy's eyes narrowed in suspicion as she struggled to focus on him. "Business, huh? Again? Don’t you have another excuse, huh?" she scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Or were you out gallivanting with some other woman?"He felt a surge of irritation rise within him at Cindy's

He woke up with thrilling feelings coursing through his veins, buoyed by the news of Mark's whereabouts yesterday night. Despite the tension with his wife, he couldn't contain his excitement at the prospect of reconnecting with his eldest son, with his kids. He dressed quickly, his mind buzzing with thoughts of the possibilities that lay ahead."I can't believe it," William whispered to himself, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I finally have a chance to make things right with Mark, with them."His heart swelled with hope as he made his way downstairs, eager to start the day on a positive note. But as he entered the kitchen, the sight that greeted him dampened his spirits. Cindy sat at the table, her expression sour and her demeanor cold."You look very happy today, William," Cindy remarked, her tone laced with suspicion. "Tell me, what's happening?"His smile faltered at the edge of her sharp words, his excitement dimming in the face of her grumpiness. He knew that tellin

He paced the floor of his office, his mind consumed by a tumult of endless guilt. His failures as a father pressed down upon him, crushing his spirit beneath their heavy burden."If only I had been a better father," He muttered to himself, his voice thick with emotion. "If only I had been there for them when they needed me the most."He couldn't shake the feeling of regret that gnawed at him from within, the knowledge that his children had suffered because of his shortcomings as a parent weighing heavily on his conscience. He had been so focused on building his empire, on amassing wealth and success, that he had neglected the most important thing of all - his children, his flesh and blood."I'm a failure," William whispered, his voice choking with tears. "I'm a billionaire, but my money can't fix what I've done. It can't ease their pain, can't erase the scars of their suffering."Each word he spoke felt like a dagger to his heart, a painful reminder of the irreparable damage he had ca

It must keep you busy?”He shrugged nonchalantly. "It does, but I always mak

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.

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

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.
