Battle for legitimacy

Mira stepped forward, her chin lifted high, her arms crossed as she fixed Finn with a sharp glare. "You're acting like the chairman's seat already has your name engraved on it," she said coolly. "But there's just one little problem with your plan—well, several, actually."Finn rolled his eyes, slouching back in his chair. "Oh, this should be good. Do enlighten me, Mira."She smirked. "First, let’s talk about the bylaws of this hospital and the Carter Corporation. You’re pushing for a vote today, but according to section 4B of the hospital’s governing rules, a vote for chairman can only be conducted if all eligible heirs are given a chance to claim their right." She tilted her head mockingly. "And since Liam Carter is still alive, last I checked, you’re violating the very rules you’re trying to use."The board members began murmuring again, some nodding in agreement. Finn's jaw clenched."Rules can be adjusted," Finn shot back. "And as the only legitimate heir, my vote carries the most

The truth surfaces

The room fell into stunned silence.Mira's eyes widened. "He knows?" she whispered, almost in disbelief.Liam chuckled darkly, his gaze locked onto Finn. "Oh, Mira… our dear brother knew all along he wasn't our father’s son. That’s why he’s been so desperate to take over everything."A heavy tension settled over the room as Liam strode forward, his presence commanding. He reached for his mother's hand, then turned his piercing gaze to Dr. Chris Murphy."Get your filthy self off that seat, you murderer." His voice was low, but the accusation hit like a thunderclap.Chris stiffened, his face draining of color. He opened his mouth, but no words came. Under Liam's scorching glare, he stumbled back from the chair, retreating to the far side of the room like a scolded dog. The board members exchanged nervous glances, whispering among themselves, but none dared to speak.Eloise sat gracefully in the now-vacant seat. She smiled at her son. "Thank you, Liam."Liam returned the smile briefly be

High Court

Three days later.The news of Finn Carter's downfall had made headlines everywhere."Finn Carter, the illegitimate son of Chairman Leo Carter, has been found guilty of orchestrating his father's murder and attempting to kill his biological father in a desperate bid to seize control of Carter Corporation and Carter Specialist Hospital. His co-conspirators have been sentenced to life imprisonment, with their medical licenses permanently revoked.In a surprising turn, Dr. Liam Carter—despite being the rightful heir—declined the chairman's seat, instead entrusting the position to a more capable leader in the industry. Following the trial, numerous individuals and organizations have publicly apologized to Liam for falsely accusing him of involvement in his father's death."The article buzzed in the background, but none of it seemed to matter at that moment.Liam turned to Suzanne, his voice suddenly serious. "Let's get married."Suzanne almost choked on her wine, wide-eyed. "Really?""Yes,

The bargain

Sarah walked into the dimly lit bar, her sharp eyes scanning the room. She had expected to find Suzanne drowning in stress, but instead, there she was—sitting at the far end of the restaurant, swirling a glass of wine, looking completely at ease.Typical.Suzanne, lost in thought, watched the rain splatter against the window. The rhythmic patter against the glass was oddly soothing. But as her gaze drifted, she spotted Sarah approaching. She raised a hand, signaling her over.Sarah hesitated for a split second before striding forward, taking the seat across from her."Long time, Suzanne." Her tone was neutral, but the smirk on her lips said otherwise.Suzanne smiled, unfazed. "What would you like to drink?""Just water."Suzanne turned to the waiter standing nearby. "Get her a glass of water." The waiter gave a curt nod and disappeared.Sarah leaned back in her chair, folding her arms. "You called, said it was urgent. So, what is it? Or did you just want to flaunt your success in my f

Staged death

Eloise Carter stepped out of the car, tilting her head as she took in the stunning glass house before her. The morning sun reflected off its sleek exterior, making it shimmer like a diamond nestled in a sea of lush greenery."Is this place your new home?" she asked, her voice laced with curiosity.Liam smiled, slipping his hands into his pockets. "I bought this place a long time ago, Mom. It’s not just a house—it’s a retreat. A place to unwind, away from the chaos."A soft click interrupted them.They turned to see Mira, holding up her phone, snapping pictures at different angles."This place is insane," she muttered in awe.And it was.The house sat elegantly amidst a breathtaking landscape. Vibrant flowers—roses, jasmine, and lilies—lined the stone pathway leading to the entrance, their sweet fragrance filling the air. Towering oak and maple trees framed the estate, providing both shade and a touch of mystery. A pristine koi pond shimmered nearby, tiny ripples forming as golden and

Chaos evaded

Three weeks ago.And then, just like before, he took what was his.His lips crashed against hers, claiming her, stealing the breath from her lungs. Suzanne melted into him, her fingers fisting into his shirt as she let herself forget—just for a moment—that there was still a war to fight."Let's take this to the bedroom."Before she could respond, Liam swept her off her feet. She gasped, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck, her legs tightening around his waist as he carried her effortlessly toward his bedroom.The door slammed open with a forceful kick of his boot, and in one swift motion, he dropped her onto the bed, his body hovering over hers as he began to peel off his shirt. Suzanne’s breath hitched, anticipation building, but just as things were about to escalate, his phone rang.“Wrong timing, Wil,” Liam muttered, glancing at the screen. He was about to end the call when the urgency in Will’s voice stopped him."Finn has made his move," Will said urgently.Liam’s fac

Court war

Supreme Court of OntarioCase: Suzanne Smith vs. Charles LangfordProceedings – Divorce and Domestic Abuse AllegationsAs the courtroom settled into its tense quiet, Judge Hansel adjusted his glasses, eyes scanning the papers before him. He looked up, a sharp command in his voice.“Let us proceed,” he announced, his gaze flicking between the two parties. “Call your first witness, Attorney Barnes.”Gregory Barnes stood, nodding respectfully to the judge. He turned to Suzanne, who was seated beside him, her posture rigid, but her eyes determined. She’d come too far to let this fall apart now.Greg walked toward the witness stand, and everyone in the room shifted their attention. The door creaked open, and Sarah Thompson entered, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor. She made her way toward the stand, looking calm but a little too composed for Suzanne’s liking. Sarah swore her oath, raising her right hand, her voice steady but with an edge that made Suzanne's blood run c

Finalized divorce

Judge Hansel studied Attorney Barnes carefully, his fingers tapping against the bench. “How do you know that, when the first witness was lying when she stated she had no relationship with Charles Langford?”Barnes adjusted his glasses and stepped forward. “I have multiple pieces of evidence to prove she is lying. If I may, Your Honor.”The judge gave a firm nod. “Proceed.”Barnes walked over to his table and retrieved a small recording device. Turning to face the courtroom, he held it up.“This,” he announced, his voice strong and deliberate, “is an audio recording of Charles Langford and Sarah Thompson.”The room fell into an eerie silence.Charles’ smirk vanished instantly.Barnes pressed play. The courtroom filled with Charles’ voice—low, menacing, unmistakable.“You think you can defy me, Sarah?”A loud slap. A muffled cry."You whore," he spat, "Do you think I’m asking you?" "Have you forgotten all the times I covered for you? Your drunk driving—or should we talk about the time

Remorse and Reunion

She turned her gaze to her lawyer."Thank you, Atty. Greg." She extended her hand, and he shook it firmly."It was a pleasure, Ms. Smith," he said with a proud nod.Before she could say more, warm hands touched her shoulders. Liam.He leaned down, kissing her forehead softly. “Considering I wasn’t around when you were fighting this, you still pulled it off. Congratulations to us, my love.”Suzanne nudged him playfully. “Oh, come on. You helped me—without William getting that recording, I wouldn’t have stood a chance.”Liam chuckled, pressing a small kiss to the top of her head. Their moment was interrupted by a quiet but deliberate clearing of a throat.They turned to see Anna standing before them, holding the child in her arms."Anna." Suzanne stepped forward, her expression softening as she greeted her.Meanwhile, Liam’s gaze flickered past them, landing on Judge Hansel. He straightened, excusing himself before walking toward the judge.Suzanne stepped forward with a small smile. "

Things taken from her

The tension in the boardroom was suffocating. The long, polished mahogany table gleamed under the overhead lights, but all eyes were locked on the man at the head of the table—Armstrong Smith.Suzanne sat opposite him, poised and unwavering. She was dressed for war, her black blazer crisp, her expression unreadable. Next to her, Nina leaned back lazily, one leg crossed over the other, exuding quiet confidence.Armstrong, however, looked anything but confident. His fingers tapped impatiently against the table, his jaw tight. He had built this company, shaped it, controlled it. And now, his own daughter was challenging him in front of the entire board.One of the directors, an older man with silver hair, cleared his throat. “Ms. Smith, you’ve called this emergency meeting with serious allegations against your father. We need to know exactly what you’re claiming.”Suzanne didn’t hesitate. She slid a folder onto the table and met every board member’s gaze before speaking. “I am claiming t
