When Diego informed Trey that Lisa was the one driving the car that just passed by, Trey's heart skipped a beat, his intuition told him something was terribly wrong, he immediately turned the steering wheel and made a sharp U-turn on the road deciding to go after Lisa.Diego, who was caught off guard in the passenger seat, had not gotten over what Trey was up to when the brake of the car was hit, sending him forward in reflex. "Dude, what the fuck?" Diego asked bewildered."Get out, I have to follow her," Trey answered impatiently. "Trey, this is the middle of nowhere. How am I supposed to go home from here?" Diego asked with a facial expression that said. โAre you joking?" Trey's eyes were spitting fire as he stared at Diego, if looks could kill, Diego would be dead by now."Figure that out on your own. Now stop delaying me." Trey answered impatiently, anger evident in his tone. Diego looked at this henpecked husband and got out unwillingly. He had not stabilized himself yet when
Trey arrived at the farmhouse 30 minutes later, when he got to the parlor he saw Brad and asked him, where Diego was,โWhere is Diego?โโHe is at the dining room, boss,โ Brad responded, and Trey made his way to the dining room. When Diego saw Trey enter the dining room, he asked casually.โYou didn't catch up with her?โ Ignoring Diego's remark, Trey sat down at the table, and the maid came to serve him. After taking a sip of water, Trey got straight to business. "The footage at the hotel was tampered with," he said, looking at Diego. "I need you to call all our IT experts at the base, and tell them to recover the actual footage at the hotel last night. I need the results before 24 hours.""Understood, boss," Diego replied, his expression serious. "I'll get right on it." As the dinner came to an end, Diego stood up from the dining table to leave the room when Trey's voice stopped him in his tracks. He said. "Before you go, I need you to send some men to watch over Lisa from a dista
Lisa made her way toward Valerie's ward, she couldn't leave the hospital without confronting her first. As she entered Valerie's ward, her eyes immediately fell on Valerie, who was scrolling through her phone while lounging on an armchair. Lisa's gaze then shifted to Valerie's neck and shoulders, where she noticed some bite marks and a hickey.A wave of confusion and anger washed over her. Had she been wrong about the video? Did Trey touch Valerie? But then she remembered after analyzing the video she received, that Trey had been unconscious in the video, which only added to her confusion.Valerie, who had heard the door open, turned her head and caught sight of Lisa standing at the entrance with a furious expression on her face. Despite Lisa's anger, Valerie couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The video had worked, and Lisa's expression confirmed it. Valerie's lips curled upwards, forming a smug and satisfied grin that hinted at a sense of superiority. She smiled gloating
Lisa emerged from her room and called out, "Angelo!" The sound of her voice drew Angelo's attention from his seat in the living room, and he stood up to face his boss."Madam?" Angelo replied respectfully."Where is Luis?โ She inquired, her tone betraying a hint of concern."He's in his room," Angelo responded promptly. "He went there after you retired to your room." Lisa frowned. "You mean to tell me that you didn't see him leaving? What were you doing? Weren't you paying attention?" she asked, her tone becoming more urgent. Angelo scratched the back of his head and replied, "I was working on the laptop." Lisa frowned, studying Angelo's apologetic expression before signing heavily and asking, "Where is Lucas?" It suddenly dawned on her that she hadn't seen Lucas since she returned from Trey's farmhouse. Angelo hesitated for a moment before answering, "Madam, he's in his room. He hasn't been feeling well since yesterday morning and has been holed up in there ever since. I sent hi
It was a few minutes past 7, when Lisa's car pulled up to the grand entrance of Trey's magnificent villa. The imposing gates were swiftly opened by the vigilant bodyguard, who confirmed Lisa's identity before ushering her through. As they drove up the driveway, Lisa couldn't help but notice that the entire house was shrouded in darkness. It wasn't until they reached the parking space that Lisa realized the reason for the gloom - all the lights were off. Despite the eerie silence, Lisa gathered her thoughts and stepped out of the car, making her way towards the house. The bodyguards were quick to follow, and they opened the door for her, allowing her to step into the house.As soon as Lisa crossed the threshold of the room, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her, pulling her into a warm embrace. When she smelled Trey's intoxicating scent and his hard muscular body pressed against her. She closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh, feeling all the tension in her body melt away a
- The Old Collins mansion - Nestled within the impressive Collins mansion lies a distinct residence that belongs solely to the reputable Old Master Collins. This abode serves as his personal retreat, where he spends most of his time engrossed in deep contemplation. His favorite spot in this exclusive sanctuary is his private study, a room filled with shelves of antique books and artifacts, where he often immerses himself in his work, surrounded by his treasured possessions. Old Master Collins sat behind his old, polished antique desk. The desk was adorned with a vintage lamp and a cherished photo frame, that stood as the centerpiece of the room, while stacks of important files lay neatly arranged in front of him. It was a space that exuded a sense of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the refined taste of its distinguished occupant. The master was absorbed in his work, writing calligraphy on a plain sheet that lay in front of him. He dipped his feather pen into a pot of ink o
After Trey calmed down and saw the obvious evidence in front of him, the anger and fury he felt towards Lucas reached its peak. How dare Lucas have such fantasies about his woman and to think that he was working with Valerie this whole time behind the scenes to create misunderstandings between Lisa and him. But he must admit, Lucas was quite good at erasing the videos and he could only think of one person who possessed such skills. His mind recalled that person from the past. Were they related in any way? Trey thought."Do you know his current location?" He asked Diego, who now sat in front of him."Yes our trackers found that apart from the Madam's place he frequents a warehouse that is out of town in an area where most of the petty thieves stay, the place looks like a slum but we suspect unlawful activities are going on there," Diego said and handed Trey a folder with pictures and documents of his recent findings about Lucas. "This contains all the information we gathered on Lucas,
After the interrogation, Diego entered the room to report a discovery,"Boss, after searching the warehouse we found this is the hideout of the Viper gang, what should we do with this information?" Trey looked at Diego with a puzzled look and asked, "Viper gang? Are they worth my attention?" Diego replied to Trey's question, "They have been committing crimes in the state ranging from robbing supermarkets, hijacking cars on the highway, and others. They've been on the police wanted list for years now." When Trey heard Diego's words, the smirk on his face broadened, and he stared at Lucas and said." You weren't useless after all. You have a gang. Since we are law-abiding citizens, we will deliver you to the police, just right after breaking your hands and legs, and making sure you are muted," Trey said, looking at Lucas meaningfully. However, Lucas, on hearing what Trey said, threw caution to the wind, โNo! he must kill Trey this instant, he cannot go to jail, that too when he was hal
Clara and Michelle, dressed in matching glistening white gowns with a bow adorning the back, gracefully made their way down the aisle. They clutched a wooden basket embellished with a delicate white ribbon, brimming with white rose petals that they gently scattered along the path. Following close behind them was Luis, dashing in his white elegant suit, holding a cushion bearing the wedding rings. Antonio and Susan, exquisitely dressed in their white outfits, walked arm in arm, radiating elegance. Mrs. Cooper joined the procession, cradling two weeks-old baby Miguel, as well as Diego and his fiancรฉe, Lucy, Trey's secretary, both resplendent in radiant white outfits. Then Mr. and Mrs. Collins, followed by the old Master Collins and Mrs. Lynn, their hands linked in a display of endearing unity creating an aura of elegance and refinement. As everyone took their seats, the air of anticipation filled the room. The moment finally arrived as the bride, escorted by her uncle, made her g
"Susan, oh, I'm very sorry, you had to give birth to your son prematurely because of me, I'm sorry.โ Lisa said as she sat in a wheelchair in front of Susan's hospital bed."Hey, hey, as you can see I'm fine. Thankfully, my son was not at risk, so he will be in the incubator for just a day. It wasn't your fault; you are also a victim like me," Susan explained with a smile."Thank you. Is the pain bearable?" Lisa asked,"Yes, it almost feels like my old self," Susan replied,"I'm glad. I was hoping to attend your baby shower, though." Lisa said and Susan responded with humor, "It's fine. To be frank with you, I was getting bored of the nine monthsโ journey," Susan said, and they both laughed."I'm glad I met you, Susan. You became the closest figure to a sister I never had." Lisa expressed her gratitude,"Same here, Lisa I'm very glad I met you," Susan replied. After spending a few minutes talking about unimportant but happy topics, the doctor accompanied by two nurses came and helped

Valerie's voice trembled as she spoke up, noticing the deadly aura emanating from Trey as he glared down at her with undisguised disgust. "Trey, please, I was forced into doing this," she pleaded, but Trey's expression remained cold and unyielding as he replied, "Don't worry, no one will be able to force you into doing anything anymore." With those words, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at Valerie's forehead. As he was about to pull the trigger, Valerie interrupted frantically, "No! Trey, please, I'm pregnant with his child. He will come after you if you kill me! He is listening to us as we speak." Trey's fierce resolve was unshaken as he smirked and he replied, "I won't fall for your fucking tricks again, t

"Diego, the madam has been taken," Brad's panicked voice came through the earpiece. He was trembling, the weight of responsibility heavy on his shoulders. How could he have allowed her to ride in a different car? If anything happens to the madam, the boss will kill him for sure. He couldn't believe that once again, he found himself in a dire situation. "What?!" Diego exclaimed, earning curious stares from everyone in the church. As he looked up from his seat, he was met with Trey's penetrating questioning gaze. He quickly pressed a button on his earpiece and relayed the message, "Boss, the madam has been taken." Without hesitation, Trey got off the altar and dashed out of the church with lightning speed. "What's go

He keyed the mic discreetly nestled in his ear and asked in a low, commanding voice, "All set?" And in a perfect unison, his men responded, "Yes boss." "Good.

The past six months have been filled with ups and downs, but their love and determination have seen them through every challenge and hardship. Additionally, Luis and Clara celebrated their five-year birthday, which Trey commemorated with a lavish party, introducing them to the corporate world. As a result, Luis's name was changed to Ryan Luis Collins and he was named as Trey's successor, Clara became Clarissa Collins, and they both took on new roles under Trey's wing. Lisa is two months into her pregnancy, she is still experiencing unusual cravings, morning sickness, strange needs, and other symptoms, though her stomach has yet to show any signs of her pregnancy.

After a long intense and passionate kiss, Trey and Lisa gently parted, both trying to catch their breath. Lisa leaned her forehead against Trey's chest as they sat there, the warmth of their embrace lingering in the air. "Jade, I had planned to propose to you tonight. I wanted to make things right. I want you to be legally mine," Trey confessed, his voice filled with emotion. Lisa looked at him, a quizzical expression on her face. "But you said you didn't sign the divorce papers," she said, her brow furrowed with confusion. "I didn't, but I found out I married someone who does not exist," Trey explained. Lisa looked at him, utterly perplexed by his words, and said, "I don't understand." "I'll explain everything, but I need you to trust me," Trey said softly, his gaze unwavering. He smiled, then stood up and offered his hand to her. As she took it, he helped her to her feet then placed a soft kiss on her forehead, took both of her hands in his, and his eyes locked with hers
Upon their arrival at the hotel, Diego ushered them into the elevator and they ascended to the penthouse. The elevator doors parted with a cheerful ding, and they proceeded down the extended corridor toward their destination. Lisa could feel her heart pounding with anticipation, knowing that Trey was planning to propose to her that evening. Despite being aware of the surprise, the excitement of the impending moment filled her with joy. Earlier, when Trey had called and asked her to get ready for the surprise he had in store for her, she couldn't contain her happiness. Upon reaching the door, one of the four vigilant bodyguards stationed there opened it for them.As Lisa entered the room, her eyes lit up at the sight of Mr. Collins, Mrs. Rosa, nanny Rose, and her husband, the one she had operated on before coming to country A. She had totally forgotten to even check on him. However, her smile quickly faded when she spotted her uncle, causing her expression to twist into a frown."Unc
Three days later, after Trey lovingly assisted Lisa with her breakfast and ensured she took her medication, he lay next to her and tenderly held her in his arms until she drifted off to sleep. After making sure she was comfortable, he quietly got out of bed and made his way to the closet to get ready for work. He emerged from the walk-in closet dressed in a meticulously pressed three-piece dark blue suit.The attire highlighted his muscular biceps and broad chest, with his hair neatly tied up. He reached for his luxurious gold Rolex watch, removing it from its case and diligently fastening it around his wrist to complete his polished look. Just as he finished, there was a sudden knock on the door. Interrupting the quiet atmosphere.Knock! Knock!Not wanting to disturb Lias's peaceful slumber, he reached for his two phones resting on the nightstand and quietly left the room after placing a tender kiss on Lisa's forehead.โAntonio?โ Trey said upon opening the door and was greeted by
