“There's someone at the door, Knaver. Why not go answer that before you come sit with your mum who has taught you nothing than settling for the less!" Knaver's Dad barked and she hurried to the door. Just as she slid open the door slowly, her eyes widened to a man she never expected to see. Her heart throbbed slowly, then it heaved harder. That wasn't the right time to have him around, but there was no way she would push him off, not now. She feigned a smile and cleared her throat. “Hey, Knaver! I thought I’d check in,” Sham said, his eyes glinting as they darted from Knaver to Kendrick. He stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, brushing past Sheila like she was invisible. “And who’s this?”Knaver’s expression hardened, the warmth in her demeanor extinguished by Sham’s arrival. “What are you doing here, Sham? I didn’t ask for a visit.”Sham’s smirk widened, revealing his sense of entitlement. “Just came to see how you’re doing. But clearly, I’m interrupting something.” H

Two hours later, the car had not arrived and Emily paced in the living room, her excitement bubbling over. She couldn’t stop thinking about the car Kendrick had promised her. Her heart raced at the thought of it, “what color would it be? What kind of car is he getting me?” questions flowed through her mind unanswered. Inside, Kendrick had just finished discussing plans with Xavier about the best driving school in Texas when a sharp honk echoed outside. Emily darted to the window, her pulse quickening. A sleek, red sports car was pulling into the driveway, gleaming in the fading light. “It’s here! It’s here!” she shouted, her voice a mixture of disbelief and joy. She rushed to the door, flinging it open just as the car came to a stop.The car dealer stepped out with a wide smile as he approached her. “Miss Emily, I presume?” he said, holding up a shiny key.Emily’s eyes sparkled as she saw the exquisite Ferrari, its cherry-red paint gleaming like a freshly polished gem. She felt as if

While Kendrick was up in his room, he paced back and forth, his hands plastered on his waist as he pondered, could Prince have gone to the extent of beating up my sister? That’s so bad of him, I would have to ensure that he pays for this.” he muttered to himself. He slowly picked up his phone and dialled Methot’s number, only to see several message notifications popping up on the screen. He held his breath and swiped through each of them. “Kendrick, I know that my dad had done the worst in looking down on you, but please this is the time, the moment that we need you the most.” his lips dropped in surprise, it was a message from Knaver. He swiped through it and went into reading the others. After he was done with the rest, he sat slowly on the edge of his bed, “So, all Methot ever cares about is that I settled with a girl who was already dating my late brother? Just so I could win her father’s heart and promised wealth?” he shouldn’t be serious to think of me in that manner.” He sw

Immediately they arrived at the hospital, Xavier hurried to his usual duty and Kendrick emerged from the car, he leaned against the sleek door of his luxury ride, glancing at the commotion that erupted there. The speed of the nurses who hurriedly rolled in the carriage, the continuous yelling of the round faced man. Just as he decided to join them, Xavier hurried to his side, his voice laced with concern. “Boss, are you okay? I believe that the young lady would be fine.” he said, trying to sound positive amidst the tension that filled the air. “That’s okay, Xavier… hope is not a grain of sand, but I hope she gets well.” staring at the man who kept pacing back and forth. Kendrick whispered, “Do you know who that man is?” Xavier stared at him for some minutes, then he whispered back. “That’s Mr. Carson, he works onshore in Germany, he also has a long standing automobile manufacturing company.” Kendrick nodded, “No wonder he talks so hard, he seems not to be a calm person, but then I

Kendrick’s heart raced as he stood in the sterile room, the smell of antiseptic clinging to the air like a thick fog. He could feel the weight of Bridget’s gaze upon him, filled with confusion and pain. He wished he could erase the accident that had landed her here, wishing for a time machine to go back just a few hours, before everything turned out of control. But reality wasn’t that forgiving.Bridget’s voice, tinged with fear, cut through his thoughts. “I need time to heal, Mum and Dad, not to make decisions about marriage… are you both giving me out to a strange man right now?”Kendrick shifted uncomfortably. The idea of marriage felt grotesque in this context, as if it was being proposed as a solution to a problem he never wanted to be a part of. He had to find a way to navigate this minefield, but the tension was suffocating.Marissa’s voice rose again, a sharp edge to it. “You don’t understand, Bridget. This isn’t just about you; it’s about accountability. This man,” she gestur
