As the days passed and Anderson reflected on his actions, a sense of remorse gnawed at his conscience. He couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that weighed heavily on his heart, knowing that his jealousy and ambition had driven him to hurt those he cared about most."I need to make things right," Anderson muttered to himself, his voice tinged with determination as he made his way to Jace's doorstep. "I can't let my pride stand in the way of what's truly important."With a deep breath, Anderson knocked on the door, his heart pounding in his chest as he waited for a response. When Jace opened the door, his eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Anderson standing before him."Anderson?" Jace exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. "What are you doing here?"Anderson took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly as he met Jace's gaze. "I... I came to apologize," he replied earnestly, his voice filled with sincerity. "I know I've made mistakes, and I want to make things right."Jac
As news of the newfound resolution between Jace and Anderson reached Grandpa Liam, a sense of relief washed over him. For too long, he had watched with a heavy heart as the rift between his grandsons threatened to tear their family apart. Now, with reconciliation on the horizon, he felt a glimmer of hope for the future."I'm so proud of both of you," Grandpa Liam remarked one evening, his voice filled with emotion as he looked at Jace and Anderson. "It takes courage to admit when you've made mistakes, and even more courage to make amends."Jace and Anderson exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Grandpa," Jace replied earnestly, his voice tinged with humility. "Your support means everything to us."Anderson nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with sincerity. "We couldn't have done it without you," he admitted, his voice filled with gratitude. "You've always been there for us, even when we didn't deserve it."Grandpa Liam smiled warmly, his heart swe
The bride to be was beaming with smiles. She looked very radient in her wedding dress. Her name is Tracey. She was very happy to be getting married to the biggest and most famous CEO in the country. She was getting married to Jace Sullivan, who was the heir to the Sullivan companies and also every woman's dream. "Congratulations! Tracey. You look very beautiful," complimented her friend, Emma, who had accompanied her to the designer store to pick a wedding dress. Her wedding was in two days. " Thanks," Tracey replied, broadening her smile. It was like a dream come true. She had always dreamt of being the wife of a famous, powerful and rich man. Jace had all these qualities and above all, he was very handsome. It didn't matter to her that he doesn't like her. In fact, that was the least of her worries. All she wanted was to lay her hands on wealth, power and social status. "Grandfather Liam," Jace called out quietly. Liam Sullivan turned and glared at him. His old, yet sharp eyes see
Beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. She couldn't be trapped in here, could she? Jace too had also heard the sharp click. His frown deepened and his face twisted in contempt. "Is locking yourself in here with me one of your dirty tricks to seduce me?"Marvis was taken aback."Seduce him? Why will she ever think of doing such?" She mused sardonically."If that is what you are after, let me tell you now, you have failed. How much did my grandfather give you that made you still marry a handicapped man like me?" Jace probed further. Marvis was still silent. She only knew about the one million dollars her father had given her and nothing about her father and his grandfather. " Have you gone deaf and dumb as well, you disgusting gold digger," he bellowed. "I don't know anything about that," Marvis answered calmly. "Huh? You are not Tracey. It's you, Marvis?" Jace asked, recognizing the voice. "Yes. It is me", she responded calmly. Jace was surprised to know that Marvis was the one
Jace turned to the other side and covered himself properly. It was a silent indication for her to get lost. "Master Jace, I might break my neck on that sofa. I won't do anything, I will sleep at the farthest end. I promise", she pleaded further. " Don't bother me", the man on the bed responded nonchalantly. Everyone had slept but Marvis was wide awake. She had to abandon her difficult life, to a more difficult one. Having stayed awake half of the night, coupled with the cold and uncomfortable sofa, Marvis woke up late. Jace was still lying on his bed. She couldn't say if he was asleep or awake. "Good morning Master Jace", she greeted but there was no response. He either didn't hear her, maybe he was still sleeping, or pretended not to hear her as usual. She stretched herself and went into the bathroom. She was done some minutes later. " Master Jace, let me head downstairs for breakfast "." Mmm", he hummed a response to her surprise. She opened the door and went downstairs. "G
Marvis heard it all. She quickly tiptoed away to avoid being noticed. She took the foodstuffs from Madam Esther and went to the kitchen on the second floor where she stayed with Jace. The smell of a delicious dish wafted into his nostrils. "Your food is ready, Master Jace", Marvis announced. The aroma was heavenly and certainly irresistible. It had been a long time since he last ate such a sumptuous dish. His stepmother had always hated him and his accident was a good chance for her to revenge. He took the fork from her and started eating. It even tasted better than he imagined. He suppressed the urge to say 'thank you'. He didn't want her to feel proud or special. Even his girlfriend had never been this nice. She disappeared from his side immediately after the accident. Marvis opened the windows and looked out. It was raining, so going to her parent's place was out of the way today. She scrutinized the room. She took in the new room, in her new house, owned by her husband. Nothin
Marvis opened her eyes the following morning when the sun rays from the window hit her eyes. She realized she was wrapped up in Jace's strong arms and was also naked. What! She then remembered what happened the previous night and couldn't help but smile. He had taken her innocence, and it was worth it. She carefully disentangled herself from him and sneaked out of bed. He was in a deep sleep and didn't notice her leave.As Marvis tip-toed down the stairs, the events of last night played over and over again in her mind. She never thought she would find herself in such a vulnerable position, giving herself to a man she barely knew. But there was something about Jace that made her feel safe, loved even. He had promised to take care of her, to provide for her financially, and she had agreed to marry him for that security. But her parents had refused to fulfill their end of the deal, leaving her feeling betrayed and hurt.When Marvis returned after having breakfast downstairs, she found Ja
Marvis was very happy, she couldn't believe her luck. Her father had sent the money, just as Jace had demanded. She felt a mix of relief, gratitude, and curiosity. How was it possible that Jace, a man she barely knew, had such power over her father? And why did he even care about her situation?As the day went on, Marvis couldn't help but wonder about Jace's true intentions. It was clear he had a significant amount of influence and wealth, but what did he expect in return? Did he truly love her, or was there something else at play?Unable to contain her thoughts any longer, Marvis decided to confront Jace later that day. She found him in the study, engrossed in listening to some audio documents. He perceived her smell as she entered, flashing her a warm smile."What's on your mind, my dear?" he asked, setting the documents aside.Marvis took a deep breath, gathering her courage. "Jace, I can't help but wonder why you helped me. I mean, I know you don't love me, but... why go through al

Instead, their love for each other and their daughter fueled their determination to resist and overcome the opposition against them."We can't let them win, Marvis," Jace declared, his voice firm with resolve as he surveyed their surroundings for any sign of danger.
