A few days earlier, Piper received a call at her hideout.“Miss Henshaw, our men have been caught, and Michelle has been rescued from them by Mr. Gannon’s secret spies.”“What? Wasn’t Ezrah at the hospital?” Piper was confused and pained.Firstly, her plans had failed, and Ezrah had taken the stab meant for Michelle.This was a plan she had been plotting for a long time and only managed to execute when Rush provided her with the money.Michelle had promised not to take Ezrah back, but knowing her, Ezrah's act of heroism would likely win her heart back.“He is, but it seems he had already paid the men to watch over her before then, so the contract was still in progress.”“How is Michelle?” Piper asked through gritted teeth, expecting the worst.“She’s fine.”Piper was furious. She had known Ezrah before Michelle and felt entitled to him. How dare Michelle play the victim?Since she couldn't have Sebastian back, she wanted to eliminate Michelle and eventually make her way back to Ezrah.

Michelle stared at Ezrah. A lot happened at these parties, and aside from drinks, food, and interactions here and there, there was nothing really special, and she got tired of it all.Embarrassment filled her heart when she admitted to herself that Ezrah had really changed, and she was desirous of knowing more about her ex-husband, who now seemed like a different person.“No, let’s go home.”Ezrah was beyond amazed, and swiftly, he lifted her in his arms. “Ezrah…” Michelle buried her head in his chest shyly, as gazes pinned on her from shock.“You look so cute when you do that,” Ezrah teased. Michelle chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck, not caring about the paparazzi who kept taking pictures of them.If Ezrah, who loved to keep a low profile, did not, then why should Michelle, especially when they were not doing anything bad?During the drive to the Gannons mansion, she could not tell if the things she was feeling were all because of the wine, but the more she stared at Ezra

In a dimly lit room, Piper opened her eyes, her heart pounding with fear.“Help! Is anyone there? Please, get me out of here!” she cried out, but her pleas only echoed back to her from the empty room.The situation felt all too familiar, and she was desperate to reason with Rush.“Rush, please, let me explain. Just untie me and get me out of here.”She wished she had been blindfolded, as the darkness around her only heightened her fear.No one responded to her cries for help, leaving her feeling abandoned and alone.Surely, she couldn't be left like this, could she? Her hands were bound behind the chair, restricting her movement, and her legs were tied to the chair's front legs.“Please, Rush, I'm so sorry,” she continued to plead, but her words fell on deaf ears.Unable to gauge how much time had passed, the sudden flicker of lights blinded her momentarily as they turned on.The sound of footsteps approaching filled her with dread, and a familiar scent wafted through the air.No, it

Piper expected Michelle to be enraged, knowing that Michelle’s anger stemmed from the fact that she lost her unborn child, but her calm demeanor and words shocked Piper.“I was bitter before, but since I have Ezrah, we shall have as many kids as we want. But what about you? You will never get to see your daughter for the rest of your pathetic life in prison, and your daughter would grow up calling Madison Mom.”Michelle was already prepared for this, so when Madison called on her way here, telling her the good news that she was dating Sebastian, it was obvious that Madison was going to be Esther, Sebastian, and Piper’s daughter’s stepmother.This information was the last straw that destroyed Piper’s hopes.Michelle was smiling with no visible anger on her face.The best form of revenge was letting go of the hurts and pain.In the beginning, that was the trigger for her to work hard, and now that she got everything Piper held dear, which was wealth and Ezrah, it was the best revenge an

“Dad, where are the maids? Let’s sit,” Michelle tried to ease the tension in the atmosphere as her mother called for the maids.“Bring some fruit juice.”Nobody spoke until the drinks were served. Leonard's gaze on Ezrah made him so uncomfortable that he could not take a sip and dropped the glass.“Mr. Adams, I know that I hurt your daughter deeply, but all I need is the chance to make it up to her.”A sarcastic chuckle escaped Leonard. “Make it up to her,” he repeated the words as if it were the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard.“How are you going to do that?”Ezra was about to answer when he added, “She already has everything now, so she’s very good for your image.”Now Ezrah was getting upset. Though he found Michelle to be a threat in the beginning, he felt rather peaceful upon signing the marriage certificate.Michelle’s wealth never intimidated him nor made her any different. From the moment he signed those divorce papers, only regret filled his heart.Even if Michelle ha
