****Different kinds of smiles wreathed August's face as he relaxed comfortably on the couch in the living room, still thrilled by what had happened a few days ago. Not only had Mrs. Doe canceled Tina’s marriage to that scoundrel Boris, but she had also apologized for all her unfair treatment toward him. He had felt like a superhero in front of the Doe family since that day; the way he had kicked the door open and saved Tina from being assaulted by Boris had looked like a scene straight out of an action movie—it was incredibly exhilarating!Tina had promised to treat him to dinner that evening, but her new business partner had requested she go to his house for a welcoming dinner instead. He had been irritated when she phoned earlier to inform him that their dinner would be postponed until the next day. But what could he do other than wait?As his thoughts lingered, his phone buzzed with an incoming message—it was from Tina. His imagination quickly deceived him into thinking that her

Without wasting much time, August kicked the mansion’s door open and barged into the living room, his brows furrowed in frustration when he discovered the living room was empty. The television was left to play without anyone watching it.He looked up at the dining area and saw two half finish plates but no one in the space. August quickly scanned the mansion and discovered that only one room still had its light on, so he headed for it.Barging into the room, he saw James with his pants off and his shirt flying unbuttoned while Tina laid unconsciously on the bed.“Hey!” James yelped, puzzled as he reached for his pants to cover himself. “Who the hell are you? And how did you get in here?” August was too furious to answer his questions, he glared at him menacingly like he could actually shoot daggers with his eyes. “I’ll advise you get out of my house the same way you came in before I call my security on you”But August looked indifferent, his frown even deepened and his glare cold. O

The two annoyed men were Boris Harrington and James Anderson. They had known each other only a few months back and they were already buddies. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together— both of them were despicable in their own right!When August knocked down the door and saved Tina from Boris that day, the hotel manager invited the media and Boris was exposed before the whole city for who he truly was. It wasn't just Boris's reputation that crumbled; the entire Harrington family was dragged through the mud. As the heir to the Harrington legacy, Boris's disgrace became headline news, splashed across newspapers and broadcasted on every channel for days.His father, Mr. Harrington, had been locked in an endless battle with investors and shareholders ever since, desperately trying to convince them not to pull their money from the family business.Seeing all that was happening to the Harrington’s, James Anderson decided to help his friend in the only way he knew how—by seeking

“Come on Miss Doe, is there any need for that?” Jonathan smiled cheerily as he slipped the phone into his pocket, “I showed you the picture with this address clearly written at the back with your mom’s handwritten, which should be enough to convince you that I’m speaking the truth. I should take you home already, your mom mentioned that you skipped your breakfast, it’s already half past 12PM now, and we should get you home so that you can eat. Remember, food is the first medicine to any sickness, how are you going to recover if you don’t eat well?” he added with a confident smile on her face.Tina was mystified; why she had her suspicions about him, but the more Jonathan spoke the more he sounded like a professional Health Care aide and the more he was convincing. Though she wasn’t sure whether the handwritten at the back was her mother’s or not, the way he said it confidently was convincing enough."We should get going," Jonathan said, his voice steady. "Once we get home, you can as

Mrs. Doe was perplexed, darting her eyes between the nurse and August. August himself was equally stunned by the nurse's accusations. He hadn’t even seen Tina for days, and her mother had just called to inform him she was missing. Upon arriving at the hospital, the nurse quickly accused him of taking Tina away earlier. Was the nurse mistaking August for Jonathan, or was there more to her accusations?"Are you certain he's the one?" Mrs. Doe asked, her brows knitted in confusion. "You should take a closer look at him. You must have gotten it all confused; maybe the person just had a striking resemblance to him." “I’m not confused," the nurse said firmly, her expression stern. "I’m certain it’s him. He may have changed out of the black suit he was wearing, but I can still tell. I’d swear on my life that he’s the one who took Tina”."What nonsense!" August snapped, his brows knitted in indignation. "How can you claim I'm the one who took her away when I'm equally worried about her whe
