The loud blaring of the alarm woke him up the third time. This time, he angrily threw the clock on the floor, not bothered about the damage. He couldn't condone his precious sleep getting interrupted continuously.He tried to go back to sleep, but after a few minutes of no result, he groaned and sat up on his bed, yawning and stretching. Likewise, he had decided not to wake up as early as he used to due to how tired he had been from the previous night's charade and every other problem that he had been going through since the week. However, he couldn't. Not when his alarm disrupted the whole thing. After some time of reasoning, he pulled off his blankets from his legs, and stood up to walk to his window. He dragged the curtains open and the sharp, blinding ray of sunlight hit him so hard that he groaned immediately. “Oh, God. Has the morning gotten so bright already?” He groaned, and closed back the curtains. Even if the sunlight brightened his room, he didn't find it soothing enoug

The moment they both got in, the sight of the cleaners still fixing and cleaning the hall, stopped them from taking any further steps. “No press conference yet. Let's go into the restroom.” She dragged her colleague away. “Why? What do we have to do there? Why not wait somewhere else?” Cynthia asked.“I've got business to do.” Her colleague said. Soon enough, they got into the restroom, and she pulled out her makeup from her purse immediately. While Cynthia rolled her eyes as she watched her.“You should have just said this was what you wanted to do.” Cynthia hissed, but she ignored it. “ But come to think of it, I've never heard of anyone from Belcraft's holding a press conference. What do you think it might be for?” Cynthia asked her colleague who was still busy applying a touch up on her makeup. She had dragged her down to the ladies' restroom just so that she could complete her make — up. “I have no idea. However, I think it's being organized by Sir Lucas. Probably he read ou

It was just a few minutes since Denver had left his office, but his words couldn't get off Mr. Belcraft's head. He kept thinking of it as the words kept ringing in his ears. What he had said rhymed with Lucas recent attitude towards holding a new crowning event. But he found it difficult to believe it. Or, it was just him afraid of it all becoming true. Immediately, he picked up the telephone placed beside him on his table, and placed a call to his secretary. “Is Lucas in his office?” “Yes sir. He just arrived a few minutes ago.”“Good. Tell him I want him in my office right away.” He said and hung up immediately. He was beginning to get tired of all the drama that had been playing with his boys. One way or the other, he needed to sort the whole issue. He didn't plan to watch the second crowning event get ruined again. At least, not while he was still alive. Soon, he heard the door open. “Grandpa, you called for me.” He heard Lucas say, standing outside and peeping into his off

It's been about three hours since he had received the invitation to his own crowning event that his grandfather had adamantly organized. He had taken his bath and still requested to have dinner on time before anyone arrived. He couldn't stand facing his grandfather anymore. Not after what he had just done. With such an action, there was no way the old man was going to go back on his words. He was pretty sure almost everyone had gotten the invitation. Now, he was back in his room, roaming around every corner of his room thinking of his next steps. There was one thing Lucas was sure of. If he went ahead just like his grandfather wanted, with the crowning event, he won't get crowned as the heir because whoever might have made him sign the document would reveal himself. And that would be the end of it all. At that moment, he also wondered if the kidnappers had gotten wind of the news too, since they always knew about his movement.Frustrated at the whole situation, he sat down forcefully

“Do you know that your soon-to-be fiancé just stepped out to meet with another woman?” Denver began as he drew himself closer to Ann.“Excuse me?” She looked at him in irritation. “I understand that you might not believe me. But, why don't you go see for yourself?” He asked, and stood up to lead the way. Ann, on the other hand, hesitated to stand up. She was thinking for a while. What if he was trying to trick her? She had heard rumors of Denver and Lucas not being on good terms. So, it could be that he just wanted to lure her away from Lucas and create tension. “You know, for what it's worth, you shouldn't be hesitating. If you want your man to remain yours and not get snatched, you would stand up, follow me, and try to stop whatever impending danger you have coming your way.” He said, in a bid to convince her. And she turned to look at him. Ann knew that she had begun to fall in love with Lucas. After their first meeting, she felt a spark between the both of them. Just like she
