MAX POVThe officer froze, his expression darkening. “Hand it over.”I shook my head, clutching the papers tightly. “It’s personal. You wouldn’t understand.”His jaw tightened. “If it’s personal, then why are you acting so suspicious?”“I’m not giving it to you, it's a Will that my grandmother left for me and it's a secret. ” I lied as I insisted, taking a step back.'' oh my goodness, your grandmother just died? So sorry about that and I also lost my grandmother two days ago. She's such a sweet soul. '' The police officer said in a cracked voice as if he wanted to cry.The officer’s eyes burned with suspicion, and I knew I was running out of time.From the corner of my eye, I saw Mr. Kenneth’s eyelids flutter slightly. My heart skipped a beat. Was he waking up?“Fine,” the officer said suddenly, his tone cold. “ You can go. ''I nodded then left with the contract in my hands as I couldn't believe that he believed such a simple lie.Without saying anything further, I started walking t

Chapter 62

NADIA'S POVI closed my eyes and could see it so clearly, Richard standing at the altar, waiting for me. The white flowers around us shimmered in the soft light, their fragrance intoxicating.I was there, in a gown so perfect it felt like it was made just for me. The delicate lace clung to my figure, and the long train flowed behind me like a river of dreams.In my mind, Richard’s eyes met mine, and the world seemed to stand still. He smiled, that charming, disarming smile that had once made me believe in love.I imagined myself walking down the aisle toward him, every step a declaration that he was mine, not Tammie’s.When I reached him, he took my hand, his touch warm and steady. His voice echoed in my mind, deep and tender. “I’ve always loved you, Nadia.”And then, we kissed. A kiss so passionate, so full of promise, that it felt like the culmination of everything I’d ever wanted. The crowd around us faded into the background; it was just us, together, as it should’ve been from the

NADIA POVPressing the call button, I listened to the dial tone, tapping my fingers impatiently on the armrest.“Hello?” a gruff voice answered.“It’s Nadia,” I said sharply. “Just calling to remind you about tomorrow.”“Oh, I remember,” he said confidently. “Don’t worry, I’m ready.”“You better be,” I replied, my tone stern. “Because without you, the whole thing falls apart. This has to be seamless.”“It will be,” he assured me. “I’ve got everything lined up on my end. You just tell me where and when, and I’ll be there.”“Good,” I said, a slight edge of satisfaction creeping into my voice. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll send you the exact coordinates. Just make sure you’re ready.”“You’ve got it, Nadia,” he said, his voice firm. “I’ve been waiting for this day. Everything’s going to go as planned.”“You’d better hope so,” I said, my voice low and full of warning.As I hung up, a sense of unease ran through me. Everything was set, yet the stakes felt higher than ever. My phone sat heavy in m

Chapter 64

NADIA'S POV“Nadia? Are you okay?” Stanley’s voice broke through my thoughts.I blinked, forcing a smile. “Yeah, I’m fine,” I said quickly, turning my attention back to my brother.But curiosity got the better of me, and I glanced back toward where Mr. Jacob had been standing.He was gone.My stomach churned uneasily as I scanned the area. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. Had I imagined it? Or was he really here, watching us?I shook my head, trying to dismiss the thought, but a gnawing feeling of unease rests in my chest.Something wasn’t right, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that Mr. Jacob’s presence…or absence…was no coincidence.Finally when we were at the dining table eating and drinking till the sudden question came up.'' Kid sister, I can see a ring on your engagement finger. '' My elder brother asked with a smiling face as he waited eagerly to hear my response.As usual I know my mother very well as she waited for me to explain to my father and elder brother that

Chapter 65

NADIA POV.“I don’t understand why you’re so eager to hear Dad’s decision,” Stanley said, his voice heavy with frustration as he leaned back in his chair. “It’s not like he ever agrees to go to anything.”I shot him a sharp look. “Because it’s important, Stanley. I need him there…it’s not just about me.” only God knew the new plan I had in my heart.If my dad could be present at the party…I will make sure I cause chaos between my family and that of Mr Johnson's families, or do my dad think I don't know that there's a big beef between my dad and Mr Johnson?He may fool my mother and brother but not me. I remembered ever since we were little my father always tells my brother and I to stay away from the Johnson's families and any time my brother and I asked why…he always flipped into anger.Stanley sighed, shrugging. “If it’s not about you, then who?”I paused, my hands clenched into fists under the table. My heart raced as I glanced at our father, Mr. Morales, who sat silently, lost in

Chapter 66

JACOB POV“Dad, why do you look so tense?” Daniel asked, sitting beside me in the car. His voice was calm, but his eyes held concern.Actually I had gone to the mansion of the Morales not just me but with my son, the letter i had seen in the email box when I had gone to collect my emails from my box that was placed in front of my house.I couldn't stop thinking about who had written the letter by telling me that it was one of the Morales families that had placed the exact necklace we had at the spot where my son had stayed on the rooftop.I leaned back in the driver’s seat, staring at the dusty windshield. “Tense? No, Daniel, I’m thinking. There’s a difference,” I replied, my tone sharp. I didn’t mean to snap, but my mind was swirling with too many questions, too many possibilities.He didn’t respond immediately. I glanced at him and saw his jaw tighten, his fists clenched. I sighed, softening my voice.“Daniel, tell me something. Did you see anyone near the spot where you left your g

Chapter 67

JACOB POV“Let’s find out,” I said, answering the call. “This is Jacob.”“Mr. Jacob,” a voice said, smooth and confident. “I’ve got the contract file you requested.”I froze, my mind racing. The contract file. The missing piece. The one thing that could tie everything together.“Where is the contract file?” I demanded.The voice chuckled. “Let’s just say it wasn't easy to sneak the file out of the office but I did it. You’ll get the file soon enough. Consider it… a Christmas gift.”The line went dead.I stared at the phone, a slow, wicked smile spreading across my face. “Well, well,” I murmured. “It seems the game just got a lot more interesting.”Daniel looked at me, confused. “What happened? Who was it?”“One of my men who knows more than they’re letting on,” I said, slipping the phone back into my pocket. “But don’t worry, Daniel. We’ll figure this out. And when we do…”I didn’t finish the sentence. I didn’t have to. The look in my eyes said it all.The Morales family thought they

MAX POV"Max," the voice on the other end said, a note of urgency in his tone. "We’ve got a problem. Mr. Jacob got his hands on another copy of the contract file."My stomach tightened, but I kept my voice steady. "Don’t worry about it," I said. "I already signed the contract and collected the money. Jacob’s too late.""Are you sure about this?""Positive," I replied, a smirk forming on my lips. "I made my move before he even knew what was happening."As I ended the call, I couldn’t help but smile to myself. "Outsmarted you again, Jacob," I muttered.I walked back into the living room, my confidence radiating. My mother and Anya looked at me expectantly, their curiosity still burning.I didn’t say a word, letting the happiness of the moment hang in the air.Inside, though, my mind was already racing. If Jacob had another copy of the contract, things could get complicated when he tries to get the money and find out that it is all gone.NADIA'S POINT OF VIEWIt was already in the early

Chapter 69

MAFIA POVI exhaled slowly, trying to regain my composure. This had to work. It had to.The expressway remained very quiet, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze. I kept my eyes on the road, scanning for any sign of Richard’s car."Still nothing," Alisha muttered, her voice laced with frustration.I ignored her, pulling out my phone instead. Max had promised to keep me updated on Richard’s movements, but I hadn’t heard from him.I dialed his number, pressing the phone to my ear. He picked up on the second ring."Nadia," he said, his voice groggy. "What’s going on?""I’m still here," I said, glancing at the road again. "Still waiting for Richard. I haven’t seen a car that looks like his yet."There was a pause on the other end. "You sure he’s taking that route?""Yes," I said, trying to keep the frustration out of my voice. "I’m sure. But it’s taking longer than I expected.""Just hang tight," Max said. "He’ll show up. I already gave one of my men your number so he cou

Chapter 70

NADIA'S POVShe quickly poured it over her arms and face, smearing it to look like blood. Then, she collapsed onto the ground, moaning as if in pain."Perfect," I muttered under my breath, impressed by her performance.Carl’s truck roared to life, and he drove it straight toward Alisha’s car. The massive vehicle hit the red car with a deafening crash, sending it tumbling down the hill. The sound of metal crunching against rocks echoed through the air.Carl didn’t wait to admire his handiwork. He hit the gas, speeding away from the scene.I turned my attention back to Richard’s car. The fallen branch had dislodged from his windshield, but the damage was done. His car was stationary now, the engine still running but the front hood crumpled.Through the cracked glass, I saw him moving, as he was unhurt. He opened the door and stepped out, his face was full of confusion and concern.His eyes scanned the scene, landing on the empty road where the red car had been earlier before stumbling d
