Morgan's current location and health status have not been confirmed but sources say she is in critical condition…"'Gbam!'The screen of the TV shattered into pieces as Xerxes threw a glass at it. His huge form was seething with rage.Angrily, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. When the line connected, he bawled out, "You said you'd get the job done! What am I seeing on the news now? Huh?!"Ivan also saw the news report. He was frustrated and ran his hand roughly through his hair. "My men did their job. It's her luck that she's alive.""Sure, luck," Xerxes snickered, deriding sarcasm thick in his ridicule. "It's also pure luck how that b

The commissioner has been briefed so everything should go smoothly."A drug transaction worth millions of dollars required intricate planning which was why the men were having this meeting. Outside, it was snowing."Lord Guillermo, do you find any leaks in this plan?"Xerxes had been preoccupied with thoughts of Veronica. His head was not in the meeting at all so he did not hear the man speak."Lord Guillermo?" The man called in a louder voice. It was crucial to get the support of everyone on this plan, especially Xerxes'. His approval mattered the most considering he was a very important figure in the organization.Breaking out of his thoughts, Xerxes glanced at him. From the expressions on everyone's face, he realized they were waiting for his answer."It's a good plan," he said even though he barely heard anything. "Ovechkin will come with you. Make sure this doesn't fail, else I'm ha

We have no idea if he's bringing any men with him," Ethan's voice was loud and strong.He came off as commanding, the men instinctively hollered out, "Yes sir!"Although the voice actor stated that Dizon could not bring any men to their meeting, mobsters could not be trusted. Thus, they had to be alert.A Cadillac Escalade appeared in the distance. One of Ethan's men spotted it. He radioed his superior immediately. "Target approaching."Not long after, they saw the vehicle speeding down the tarred road. It took a turn and arrived at t

47.A week passed swiftly.In a room filled with colorful balloons and beautiful plush toys, a nurse finished her morning round and left.After showing improvements in her health, Veronica did not need life support anymore so she was transferred to a private ward.Sitted on a sofa in one side of the room with her laptop placed on her lap, Evie was working.Her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, replying emails, sending instructions and messages. Just then, her phone rang.Quickly, she picked up, speaking with her usual bubbly tone. "Hey Tim. What's up?"As Veronica's secretary, Timothee Fangshire was handling the company's affairs on her behalf. He kept the personal assistant informed of every development."Have you seen the recent reports from the stock market?" His tone was hard "The price of our shares have dropped!

Morgan will have to undergo physical therapy so she can improve her motor skills and stimulate brain function.""The paralysis is temporary. With time, she will heal. But she'll need everyone's support and help on this journey. All of you should be here for her."Health was deeply connected with emotions. As such, a patient should feel loved and cared for and a speedy recovery would follow.Ethan glanced at Veronica. She was sleeping peacefully. After waking up, from her coma, she fell back to sleep."Okay, doctor. Thank you."The doctor quietly left and the ward was completely silent. Left alone with her, he gently brushed the hair from her forehead.A short rasp sounded on the door. Evie walked in after getting a, "come in".She stood respectfully by his side.
