Leah waited for the clerk to come back with the documents. She was gone for about ten minutes before reappearing. “Thank you for your patience, Miss Harrison. Would you like to take a new photo, or keep it the same?”“A new photo please.”“Okay, come around to the right and I’ll meet you at window 3.”“Thank you.” Denice went around the corner and to window 3. “Look into the camera for me and stand behind the white tape on the floor. I’ll count to 3 and if you want to smile, you may. Ready?“Ready.”“1,2,3.” Click. “Perfect. It’ll be printed in 10 minutes. You are welcome to have a seat while I get those printed out for you. Here are your documents for the title and the insurance.”“Thank you ma’am.” She couldn’t believe that she had finally changed her name! She had been a Jackson all her life; her great-grandfather was a Harrison and her mom was too, before she changed it, so it was only right that she took on their last name now. From there, she would make her way to the bank a

He then grabbed his appraisal glasses to look at the diamond, in order to inspect it further. The study remained quiet with Denice gazing intently at the way Hartley inspected the ring. Derreck watched her and couldn’t help but be in awe of how beautiful she looked. The way her beautiful blue eyes were focused on his grandfather’s movements, her jet black, long hair and rounded out nose. While Hartley spent his time looking at the ring, he thought to himself.‘Indeed, she has a bright future. Her abilities far outweigh Derreck’s, maybe even mine. However, if she can master it and learn it, she will become a force to be reckoned with. She should also be careful though; she has to learn how to protect it. Since she’s not fully aware of the power she holds, it’s not much of an issue, however, it’s only a matter of time before she does explore it. This ring proves that she is well underway to acknowledging and learning her power; it will no longer hold her back. She will rise like a Pho

They then attempted to leave the shop, but there were some security guards in the hotel informing the store manager of what had happened.The store manager then walked over after being informed of the commotion. He did his best to maintain his calm. After all, this hotel was owned by Derreck.The man straightened out his suit and walked over to Derreck outright. He didn’t even bother looking at Henry or in his direction.Clearing his throat, he then spoke to Derreck. “Mr. Gray. Is anything the matter?”“Get this man out of here and make sure he is BANNED from here and any other hotels that is in the name of Gray.”Dropping his body, he placed his mouth next to Henry’s ears, as he spoke in a whisper. “If you ever lay another hand on her, you’ll be penniless and a dead man Mr. Jordan. Don’t make me repeat myself and make you an example. You of all people know better than to offend me.”He then straightened his back and the store manager nodded in Derreck’s direction. “Right away, Mr. Gr

“This villa also belongs to you. When you decide to leave and that you have served your purpose here, making a name for yourself, this will always be your home.”“Thank you, Grandfather. Let’s go inside now. Shall we have a cup of tea?”“Of course! Let’s also let you meet your Grandmother.”They made their way into the Harrison family mansion. Walking in the door was the living room immediately in the center, while the study sat some ways down the hall on the left-hand side. Past the study were the stairs off to the left, leading to the rest of the mansion.To the right, was the kitchen and beside it, was the dining area. When they got to the kitchen, Denice stopped in her tracks! Just by looking at her, she knew that this was her mom’s mom. She stood frozen and the tears began to well up into her eyes. Her Grandmother, Nancy, made her way over to her; tears made their way into her eyes as she fixed her gaze on the young woman standing in front of her.“My dear, you’re finally home! Y

They decided to have lunch together and then Derreck made his departure. He would eventually tell his driver and bodyguards of his identity, but not yet. They are already sworn into secrecy and Derreck Gray was their primary responsibility. If anything happened to the Young Master, the Gray family would have their heads!When Derreck arrived back at the villa, he went over to his father and told him of the events that had transpired while he was away at the Gray mansion.Hartley nodded approvingly. “Sounds like you’ll progress quicker than originally anticipated; Apollo is doing well. I’m grateful to know your wolf takes on his role seriously.”“Indeed, father. These next few months, I will have to express balance. From the office, to the Old Family Mansion daily, at least for 3 months.”“Very well. Don’t overdo it, Derreck. Yes, you are training hard and we are on a tight schedule as we are nearing my retirement as Alpha, but you still have to maintain less stress. It becomes worse o
