Chapter 102Owen stepped out of the car and let out a huge breath, hoping that Mr Reynold hadn’t started the meeting, he wondered what the meeting was all about and he didn’t bother to call him, perhaps he doesn’t regard him as family anymore, he closed his car with a thud and hurried through the ornate corridors of the family mansion, his heart pounding with anticipation. He knew that the meeting with the rest of the family was about to begin, and he couldn't afford to be late. As he entered the grand meeting room, he scanned the faces of his relatives, noting the tension that hung in the air like a heavy fog.Mr. Reynold sat at the head of the long mahogany table, his steely gaze fixed upon Owen as he took his seat next to Hayden. Owen couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of his stomach as Mr. Reynold's lips curled into a smug smirk.“Oh! You were fast” Hayden muttered as he saw Owen. “I couldn’t afford to be late” he replied and settled down on this seat.

Chapter 104Owen's heart pounded in his chest as he followed Maya down the corridors of the house, his footsteps echoing in the silence like a drumbeat of uncertainty. He couldn't shake the feeling of dread that gnawed at his insides and couldn't understand why Maya had suddenly decided to leave without so much as a word of explanation."Maya, wait," he called out, his voice barely above a whisper as he reached out to grab her hand. "Please, talk to me."But Maya jerked her hand away, her movements stiff and guarded as she continued on her path, her eyes fixed on some distant point ahead. "There's nothing to talk about," she muttered, her voice hollow and empty.Owen felt a surge of frustration rises within him, a burning need to understand the reasons behind Maya's sudden departure. "That's not true," he insisted, his voice tinged with desperation. "You can't just leave without giving me a reason."Maya stopped in her tracks, her shoulders slumping with defeat as she turned to face h

Chapter 106Megan's heart raced with anticipation as her gaze traveled between both men, waiting for them to say something more than what they had said. She knew this wasn’t an easy one but nothing mattered more than after several months of trying endlessly she was able to bring Owen to her side and she was not going to mess up with this opportunity. "What's the plan?" she asked her voice barely above a whisper, her nerves tingling with anticipation.Owen's expression grew serious as he outlined their strategy. "We're going to give you the money," he explained, his voice steady despite the gravity of their situation. "You'll call Martin and tell him you have the money to pay off your debts. Then, we'll involve the cops to arrest him. All you have to do is to make sure he doesn’t suspect a thing, hold him down as long as you can and we soon get there as soon as possible, you don’t have to fear. I am sure when the cops get him this time around, he won’t be able to hurt anyone again or

Chapter 108As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the city, Owen stood alone in the alley close to his house, his heart heavy with the weight of recent events. He had just watched as Martin was led away in handcuffs, the consequences of his greed finally catching up to him. Turning away from the scene he was once concentrated on, he let out a deep breath, everything was just overwhelming and he couldn’t help but think about the life he had lived to this extent, everything he needed to tolerate and let go, his thoughts led him to Megan, the woman he had once loved, and the tangled web of deceit and betrayal that had torn them apart, he still remembered how happy he was when she decided to date him when they decided to start their own family and how much he had anticipated holding his child in his hand but everything turns out not to be what he had wanted. Lost in his thoughts, Owen didn't notice Megan's approach until she stood before him, her expression a

Chapter 110Maya stepped out of the hospital, her body weary from a long day of performing a major surgery. The weight of exhaustion settled upon her shoulders and she let out a deep sigh looking at the ceiling. “Are you going home now?” she suddenly heard and tilted her head to see one of the matrons in the hospital, she smiled gently.“Yes. I am very tired and I would love to leave now” she replied and the matron nodded before walking away, Maya let out another sigh before walking towards the door, she stepped out and squeezed her eyes shut embracing the evening breeze, just then she heard a sound that made her open her eyes, a flicker of surprise danced in her eyes as she spotted Hayden waiting for her outside. She hadn't expected to see him there, and the sight of him brought a warmth to her heart that chased away some of her fatigue."Hey," Hayden greeted with a gentle smile as Maya approached. "Rough day?"Maya nodded, a tired but grateful smile gracing her lips. “You could say
