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, βNo! he must kill Trey this instant, he cannot go to jail, that too when he was hal
As the sun made its way up into the sky, Trey was sound asleep with Lisa wrapped tightly in his embrace. Suddenly, as he lay there, he heard the sound of someone's low breathing. He sensed the presence of someone close to him and instinctively reached for the gun, which he always kept under his pillow for protection. As he opened his eyes, he pointed the gun at the intruder, ready to defend himself and Lisa. To his surprise, what he saw was not what he expected. Instead of an adult, he saw a child with innocent blue eyes staring back at him with a smile. The child's face was initially full of joy, But as soon as the child saw his gun, her expression changed to one of fear, and she buckled under his gaze. He was confused by the presence of a child in his room, especially one who seemed so familiar. Lisaβs eyes slowly fluttered open at that moment only to be met with the unsettling sight of Trey wielding a gun and pointing it at Clara, who looked as though she had just seen a ghost. I
Trey and Lisa savored the moment as they locked lips, feeling as though time had stood still. When they finally broke for air, Trey's face was adorned with a huge smile, as he gazed at her with an intense and unwavering gaze.He gazed intently at her face, his eyes carefully tracing the contours of her lips, nose, and chin. He wanted to commit every detail of her face to memory, to make sure he would never forget her again. Lisa looked back at him, a warm smile on her face, and asked,βWhy are you looking at me like that?β Trey took her hand and placed it on his chest. Lisa sighed as she felt the rapid beating of Trey's heart beneath her fingers."Jade, I miss you so much. I'm sorry I forgot about you, but I'm so glad you're here with me now." He said in a hoarse voice. Lisa's smile grew wider at his words, and she leaned in closer to him, her eyes shining with love and affection."I miss you too, Trey," she said softly. "But let me get you some water first, though, okay? Your voice s
When Diego and the Old Master arrived at the entrance of Trey's ward, they were met by two stern-looking bodyguards who stood at the door, arms crossed. The Old Master approached them with a confident stride, but as he tried to enter, one of the guards blocked his path with a firm hand. "I'm sorry, chairman," the bodyguard said, "the madam instructed us not to let anyone inside except Diego." Old Master Collins was taken aback. He had expected to be welcomed with open arms, given his status as the chairman. But it seemed that Lisa had given orders to the security team to deny everyone entry. Diego, who was standing beside him, tried to reason with the guards, reminding them of his relationship with the boss. βHey, he is the boss's grandfather. Are you forgetting something?β Diego asked. However, the guard remained steadfast. "I know, sir, but I'm just following the madam's instruction," he said, his face betraying no emotion. This surprisingly amused Old Master Collins, who had alw
As Lisa and Clara exited the elevator on Trey's floor, Lisa accidentally dropped her necklace. Clara bent over to pick it up and handed it to her mom with a smile. "Mommy, your necklace is beautiful. Who gave it to you?" Clara asked, admiring the glittering charm. "Your grandfather gave it to me when I was your age," Lisa replied, her voice tinged with emotion. "Wow, where is Grandfather now?" Clara inquired innocently. "Oh baby, grandfather and grandmother are in heaven watching over us, okay?" Lisa said, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. Clara nodded with a smile, and they started to walk away. As they walked past the older man waiting for the elevator, Clara glanced back and noticed that he was staring at her mother with a look of shock on his face.~~~Old Master Collins stood waiting for the elevator door to open, his mind lost in thought. Suddenly, the second elevator opened and out stepped a mother and her daughter. The mother, dressed in a lab coat, was most likely a d
Valerie was frantically packing her clothes, her fingers trembling as she stuffed the items into a bag. She was planning to sneak out of the hospital tonight. She had finally been able to get in touch with Fausto. They had made a plan that he would come and wait for her at the parking lot. Just as she was packing, she heard some faint voices at the door and quickly hid the bag of clothes under the bed, before lying down quietly.The doorknob turned, and she turned her gaze to the door. She saw Trey being wheeled in by Diego. He was seated in a wheelchair with a bandage wrapped around his head. She was genuinely concerned and asked him worriedly, βTrey, what happened to you? Are you okay?β However, Trey looked at her with a mixture of anger and disgust and said, "Mark, give her the discharge form. She has until tonight to clear herself and leave the hospital. If she doesn't, before 6 p.m., call the police to come and arrest her!β Valerie acted completely taken aback. "Trey, why are
Valerie was left at the entrance of the hospital by the bodyguards. Feeling abandoned and frustrated, she walked to the phone booth outside the hospital and dialed Fausto's number, asking him to come and pick her up. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, a car pulled up in front of her at the bus stop. It was a car she wasn't familiar with, but as the window rolled down, she realized it was Fausto. She got up from the bench and slid into the car, crossing her arms over her chest. Fausto looked at her and asked, "What's with the face? I thought we were meeting later in the evening?" Valerie rolled her eyes and spoke in a loathing voice, "That bastard threw me out of the hospital. And where were you? Why did you turn off your phone?" Fausto recounted the events of the past to Valerie, his voice low and urgent. "I told you I went into hiding. Your lover boy sent his men after me. Luckily for me, I had just left my suite and was heading in a different direction, when I saw th
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 fiancΓ©e, 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.β 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 monthsβ 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. Report any suspicious activities directly t
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. However, Trey remains unfazed by it all. He is overjoyed and is grateful for the opportunity to support his pregnant wife and experience this journey alongside her.Which brings us to the present day. Lisa sat gracefully in front of her exquisitely adorned elegant vanity in her dressing room, encircled by a team of skilled
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.βAntonio?β Trey said upon opening the door and was greeted by
