Kaylie trudged into the room. As she reached the bed, she fell her bottom onto it with a soft sigh. “Oh, my,” she muttered. “Listening to that woman drone on about what I’m not doing is exhausting,”

Her gaze drifted to Gage, who had only looked up from his phone when she entered. She shook her head, frustration etching on her face. “My mind was racing with anger. It’s a waste of my time.”

Gage dimmed his phone screen and shrugged his left shoulder, his expression empathetic. “Sorry you had to go through that,” he said, his voice infused with understanding.

A warm smile crept onto his lips as he tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon. It’s just a matter of time, right?”

She nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes.” She lifted her left hand, revealing a small pill vial. “Here.”

His brow furrowed in curiosity. "What's that?" he asked.

“Something Sadie gave me,” she replied flatly. “A sleeping pill she wants me to feed you tomorrow morning so you’ll be out unti

  • Through The Gate Of Love   031

    Kaylie emerged from her room, bleary-eyed from the early hour, and greeted Sadie with a warm “Good morning, ma.” Her smile faltered for a moment as she took in Sadie's polished appearance. Already dressed to impress, Sadie sparkled with elegance, the necklace and diamond bracelet she reserved for special occasions gleaming on her neck and wrist.As she arrived at the parlor, she painted a bright smile on her face. “You’re up early,” she remarked, her tone laced with surprise. “Where are you going early this morning?”Sadie’s gaze met Kaylie’s, her brow furrowed in confusion. “You’ve forgotten already?” “Of course not,” Kaylie's response was swift. “You think I’d forget something so significant? Today marks a long-overdue reckoning for Bryson.”Sadie let out a gentle sigh, her left hand resting over her heart. “I thought as much,” she said, her voice soft. “Your question seemed... uncertain.”“Okay, but you're all dressed up,” Kaylie observed, feigning curiosity. “Are you expecting so

    The conference room door swung open, and Sadie entered with Bryson trailing closely behind, both smiling brightly. As they approached the central table, fifteen of the seventeen directors in attendance promptly rose to their feet, offering respectful bows.“Good morning, ma’am.” The directors greeted, their faces lit up with welcoming smiles. Sadie halted, darting her gaze between those at her right and the left, beaming, excited, “good morning, amazing directors,” she responded. “The pillars of this Heritage Holdings,” She smiled warmly and curtsied slightly. “I extend my sincerest appreciation for your consistent support. Your commitment has been instrumental in achieving this milestone, and I’m delighted to be here today to express my gratitude,”“Please know that I value your contributions immensely and pledge that my son will uphold the trust you’ve placed in him. We’re eternally grateful and look forward to opportunities to return your favor,”The directors were the ones who h

    Chairman Paul shifted uncomfortably in his seat, avoiding direct eye contact with Director Rachel as much as possible. He gently cleared his throat and began. “Good morning,”He paused, expecting a remark from Director Rachel. However, she said nothing, and the silence hung for a moment before Chairman Paul proceeded. “Welcome, everyone. Are we ready to start?”“Yes, sir.” A collective response echoed through the room, with Johnson’s booming voice dominating the response. Rachel and Mason remained silent, their voices noticeably absent from the affirmation.Rachel chuckled softly. “Why wouldn’t they be ready?” She whispered. “The purpose of today’s meeting is hardly ambiguous…” As all eyes turned to her, she trailed off, and the chairman took over.“Is there anyone who wants to share an update on your business operations? Are there any issues, suggestions, or inquiries that we should consider before moving forward with the agenda?” He asked, his eyes scanned the room, lingering on mos

    Gage’s voice was firm with an edge of warning. “I’m back to stake my claim, to secure what's mine, and to correct the mistake of attempting to give it to someone else.”Chairman Paul let out a deep sigh. “If you’re here for the meeting, take a seat so we can proceed.”Gage looked back, and Richard promptly pushed his wheelchair around to the opposite side of the table, positioning him next to Rachel.Rachel turned to the director beside her. “Could you please move your seat?" She requested, and knowing the question that would come next, she immediately added. “Gage’s shares have surpassed ten percent, so he's entitled to sit at the chairman's right side.”The room fell silent as everyone's eyes widened in shock, including the chairman. “When did this happen?” The chairman asked, his curiosity getting the better of him. “How is that possible?”Rachel let out a sigh and explained, “since Mason and I contributed some of our shares to him,” she spoke with confidence, her chin slightly rai

    Chairman Paul cut in, his tone firm but controlled, “I think we’re getting off track. Let’s focus on the matter at hand, shall we?” He avoided eye contact, his gaze drifting elsewhere as he steered the conversation back on course.Rachel exhaled softly, her chin tilting upward as she turned her face away from Sadie in a silent rebuke.Chairman Paul turned to Freya. “Please, take a seat,” he instructed and Freya curtsied briefly before making her way to the table to find a seat. The chairman’s attention then shifted to Gage as he asked, “Are you heading back to your office? If so, is it this week or next?”Gage shifted in his seat, his gaze locking onto Chairman Paul’s face. “As everyone is aware, I am still recovering,” he said calmly, his words dripping with deliberate pauses that aimed to test the chairman’s patience. “I’m physically disabled, mentally unstable, emotionally damaged, and socially maladjusted, possibly even psychologically impaired. I-”Chairman Paul cut him off. “I’

    The room exploded into stunned silence, with Sadie’s disbelieving gasp hanging in the air. “What?!” She shot up from her seat, her voice a challenge. Bryson quickly followed, his eyes wide with incredulity. “That can’t be right! It can’t be Kaylie!” He exclaimed, his voice rising in protest.Rachel raised an eyebrow, her expression puzzled. “Why the surprise?” she asked, her arms spreading wide in a questioning gesture. “She’s his wife, after all. Why wouldn't it be possible?”“Kaylie is-” Bryson spoke Kaylie’s name, but his mother's sharp tone cut him off. “Bryson!” Sadie warned, her voice raised. Their eyes met, and she subtly winked, signaling him to hold back his thoughts.A silent understanding passed between Chairman Paul and Bryson as their eyes met. Bryson sat down without uttering a word, and his mother trailed behind him, taking her seat as well.‘This can’t be… Kaylie would never betray me. Not her.’Sadie’s eyes narrowed, her jaw clenched, and she grasped her gown tightly

    Bryson walked into the parlor, and his mother jumped up, rushing over to him. His expression was somber, and his mother's concern was palpable. She positioned herself in front of him, placing her hands on his shoulders and locking eyes with him. “How did it go?” she asked, her voice laced with worry. “What did your father say? He didn’t agree, did he?”“He did,” he answered in simplicity. “Kaylie will be taking over, so I can’t have the share anymore.”Sadie’s eyes widened in shock, still struggling to wrap her head around the announcement, despite not being entirely new to her. As a fellow director, she had strongly considered opposing Kaylie's involvement, but Chairman Paul had sent her home before the second emergency meeting even started, leaving her without a chance to voice her dissent.Sadie's hands flew to her chest as she stumbled backward, but Vera was quick to react, rushing to her side and catching her before she fell. “Calm down, Ma,” Vera soothed, holding her tightly as

    Clara grabbed Rebecca’s arm and shook her body. “You heard her, don’t you?” She asked, instructing. “Apologize this instant, Rebecca! This is your only opportunity and I bet you won’t want to trade it for anything,”Seeing Rebecca not making any move, tears clouded in Clara’s voice and she lowered her voice, saying, “I bet you know the wrath this stubbornness is about to bring upon you,”She took her hand off Rebecca and weakly nodded her head twice. “This is our only chance of surviving and if we lose it, I won’t forgive you,” she threatened, slightly hitting herself on the chest. “I’ll disown and never forgive you.”A drop of tear fell from Clara’s eyes as she proceeded. “Upon all my struggles on you, Rebecca, is this how you want to repay me? You want me to keep struggling until my old age, right? You want me to lose hope, right?” She tried manipulating her. “Is this how you treat your mother, Rebecca?”Rebecca sniffed and tears rushed out of her eyes. She didn’t want to apologize.
