CHAPTER 31 - Broken

Spring, 1999Morris's head snapped instantly and his blood went cold. "Pregnant? What did you just say?" He chuckled loudly, he was sure he heard the wrong thing.Judith glared at him "I said I am pregnant Morris. I can't hide it any longer, our baby is growing inside of me. If you don't believe me, we can go for a checkup at the hospital."Morris froze, staring into the empty space. Patricia would be mortified, he had almost run her company down and was still trying to sort things out and now what? Judith was carrying his baby. What excuse would he give Patricia? He didn't want to lose control over her company just yet. He still wanted to grow Imperial Hub Limited to the highest level so he could show Patricia's parents and everyone around him who had treated him like 'dirt' that he was capable of great things too.But at the same time, he couldn't tell Judith to abort the baby. He had always wanted to have a child with the woman he loved, Judith. Not Patricia. Morris sighed…. What w

CHAPTER 32 - The Secret Code

"My friend, Sophia is coming over today" Rachel adjusted George's tie and reached for his cufflinks. "You know how hard it is for outsiders to enter into this villa, so —""You want me to talk to the bodyguards again?" George asked."Yes. And if it's possible, just tell them to always give her easy access anytime she comes by" Rachel fixed his cufflinks, stepped back and smirked at him. "Wow, you look so good this morning…""Really? I guess it's because of your kisses" George winked at her."I guess I should give you more of it, huh?" George chuckled. "Of course, give it to me anytime. I'm always ready"Rachel leaned forward on her toes and kissed him sweetly."Ah, I feel so refreshed right now" George grinned at her. He still couldn't believe that she was actually in love with him. It would take some time for him to adjust to that fact. "I have to get going now, I'm running late.""Alright. Don't forget to remind the guards" Rachel said, waving at him."Sure, I will"A few hours lat

CHAPTER 33 - Discomfort 

"How many years does Arthur Reeves have left in prison?" Morris glanced at his bodyguard, Raymond. He shifted his gaze back to the screen of the laptop on the table and scrolled through a file."Less than five years, sir," Raymond replied. "Precisely, about four years and six months""I see…" Morris scratched his head and laid back on his chair. Turning to Raymond, he asked "How far with the assignment I gave you?"Raymond bowed his head "The coding team is currently working on the encrypted file. According to them, it will take some time to detect if anyone has gained access to the file. By the end of this week, you will have an answer, sir."Morris huffed and whispered "I'm getting impatient, the weekend seems too far." He had been feeling so uncomfortable lately, he really didn't want to believe that George was investigating Arthur Reeves' case again. Was his own son trying to ruin him? For now, he would act like he didn't know anything but if he saw any proof of George reopening t

CHAPTER 34 - The Discovery

"Unbelievable!" Judith thundered, her eyes widening in shock "You mean, Rachel's friend is a detective and she brought her into our home?""I am serious about it." Morris responded before biting off a piece of roasted turkey. "Raymond confirmed everything. There was just something off about her the moment I laid my eyes on her""No way!!" Judith sighed as she tapped her fingers on the wooden table, thinking of what step to take next. "Do you actually believe it is a coincidence?""I can't be sure yet, I wanted to tell you about it yesterday but it slipped my mind by the time you woke up. The thing is I already told Raymond to keep an eye on Rachel and George bu—""What about the strange lady? Sophia?" Judith asked impatiently. She was a threat to her and Morris's plan. Detectives had strong intuition, they could suspect things from afar. It would be dangerous to keep on welcoming someone like that into this villa. "I don't want to act rashly. I want to first confirm that George is in

CHAPTER 35 - More Than She Expected

"The water is warm enough now" George muttered to Rachel as he reached for the basin of water beside him. He lifted her sore feet gently and dipped them in the basin.Rachel smiled lovingly and watched as he opened a bottle of sweet smelling oil and poured a few drops into the basin of water. "You make me feel like kissing you a hundred times whenever you do this""Really?" George raised an eyebrow and smirked "So what are you waiting for? I should probably do this everyday then"Rachel laughed "And you will get a hundred kisses in return every single day. Can you handle that?"George winked, "Trust me, I can."A few minutes passed and he reached for a soft towel and dabbed her feet, drying the excess water that dripped off her toes. He reached for the jar of oil and poured a small amount on his palm. Rubbing his palms together to spread the oil, he kneaded Rachel's toes gently, rubbing the oil evenly around her feet."We can't go shopping again today since your feet ache. We'll go an

CHAPTER 36 - Green With Envy

Winter, 2014"You are exceptional, Mr Arthur" A board member voiced out, moving closer to give Arthur Reeves a handshake."On a serious note, Morris is not supposed to be the main CEO" a member whispered to another board member "The bigger share of the company's stock should go to the man that does the real hardwork. Morris is a joke!""Truly, he is remarkable!" Some more board members exclaimed loud enough for him to hear, their adoration evident on their faces. "Taking a dying company from nowhere and making it the largest beauty company in the country is not an easy feat. You are outstanding, Mr Arthur!" They all hailed him more.Arthur Reeves bowed shyly in appreciation of their wonderful remarks. He never knew a day like this would come so fast, where did the time go? True to his words, he had pulled this company out of debt level and done above the deal he and Morris had. Imperial Hub Limited was a multibillion dollar company now, beyond his wildest imaginations. He felt so prou

CHAPTER 37 - Arthur's Downfall

Winter, 2014"Arthur's part in our plan is over…" Judith voiced out as she fixed her gaze on Morris. "If you want to get rid of a man like him, you have to catch him unawares, when he least expects it""Since you have said we don't have to kill him, what method do we use to get him out of here for good, without my personal board members following him?" Morris scratched his head, a confused look on his face.Judith smiled cynically "All you have to do is to put him in jail""What?" Morris snapped, glaring at her "What do you mean by that? We both know Arthur Reeves is a simple man, he would never commit a crime""Exactly…" Judith smirked and shifted closer to Morris "...Make him commit a crime. That's all you have to do"Understanding dawned on Morris as his eyes widened in shock. Glaring at Judith, he scowled at her "You want me to ruin the life of an innocent man by implicating him and throwing him in jail?""You've already started ruining Patricia's life slowly over the years, so wh

CHAPTER 38 - Crashing Down

Rachel settled on the sofa beside George and watched as he ate from a plate of fried turkey. Her mind drifted over to when she first showed up here, she couldn't believe six months had passed by already. George had been good to her, so good to her and she loved him dearly."Why are you smiling and looking at me like that?" George asked, staring at her in wonder.Rachel blinked and laughed "Well, I didn't know you were so appealing. Even when you are eating, you look very enticing"George paused as he felt his cheeks become warm. He chuckled softly."Are you blushing, Mr George Scott?" Rachel said, her words slightly muffled by her laughter."Of course not…" George denied instantly even though he felt his cheeks get warmer. He laughed and looked away, focusing on his food instead. After a minute, he asked, curiosity getting him "Ho—how appealing do I look?"Rachel grinned and winked at him "Very very very appealing. 110%"George felt like his head would blow up. He leaned down and kiss

CHAPTER 39 - Breaking Down

Rachel couldn't feel her toes. Her body felt stiff and she felt like she couldn't breathe anymore. Droplets of sweat gathered around her forehead and her vision blurred…."Wh—what did you just say?" Rachel asked, her voice coming out like a 'gasp' instead of a whisper. She was sure she didn't hear well. She was probably hallucinating about everything. There was no way she heard him correctly."I said his nickname is 'The Jaguar'. That's what I have heard some people call him in the past" George answered, unaware of the shock Rachel was dealing with at the moment. Rachel closed her eyes, fighting back the sudden tears that tried to spill. She had to hold herself back, she had to be strong. She couldn't let him know the gravity of what he just revealed just yet. She didn't want to believe any of it. There was no way his father was the one who ruined her father's life, right? It couldn't be. Her father had told back then that Morris Scott was a good man. Her father had to be right. How

CHAPTER 40 - Tears Of Betrayal

Rachel walked out of the villa and headed towards the house where she used to live. She had to see Sophia and her mother quickly unless she would lose her mind.She had finally recovered from the panic attack that hit her when George confirmed who his father really was. All thanks to Dr Andrew….She had been looking for an opportunity to see Sophia so she could confirm what the truth really was. Rachel wondered why Sophia suddenly refused to come over to the villa to see her. Instead, she had insisted that Rachel had to come over to see her. That was strange, it felt like Sophia was hiding from something or someone. Sighing, Rachel decided that she would ask her about it later….For now, the only thing on her mind was confirming if Morris was really the mastermind behind her father's downfall. Her heart still ached, but she had been trying really hard to control her emotions, her anger, her rage. Rachel felt so disgusted with herself. If all of this was true, it means she had married
