The thought weighed heavy on her, causing her face to pale.“he would make a good husband and father” In an attempt to shift the conversation away from Perry's concerns, Mia offered a smile and spoke’Perry was taken aback by Mia's unsolicited comment and retorted, "And how is that any of your business? Did I ask for your opinion?" The rebuke erased Mia's smile, and she retreated to her laptop, which rested on her lap, exposed due to the short skirt she wore."Please schedule a meeting for Love Bridals next Wednesday," Perry instructed Mia, who silently grinned in response. Love Bridals was the most sought-after bridal house in the city, but its services were only accessible to the affluent.Despite the board members' disapproval of her marriage to a man of lower status, Perry remained optimistic that they would come a

Upon arriving at the hospital, Perry was met with devastating news: her father had collapsed and suffered a heart attack. Just the morning prior, he was in good health. Fearing foul play, Perry refused to leave his side and insisted on spending the night at the hospital until he regained consciousness.General glanced at his gold watch, noting the late hour. “Madam is likely to be worried or upset that we’re returning home now,” he remarked as they pulled into the Montillo estate.Alonso scoffed at the suggestion. “Perry won’t even notice our absence. She can be so cold sometimes, it’s irritating,” he grumbled.Despite the late hour, General felt a sense of unease. “Something feels off,” he remarked to Alonso as they stepped out of the car. When Alonso inquired further, General struggled to put his finger on what exactly was causing his discomfort.“The atmosphere is familiar, and I despise it,” he explained, but Alonso failed to grasp the meaning behind his words. “Is it the quietnes

Alonso had been privy to rumours concerning Frederick, who served as Philip's right-hand man. However, most referred to him as Philip's puppet, given that he was responsible for all of Philip's unsavoury deeds.Initially, Alonso had dismissed these rumours as baseless chatter. Yet, what he had recently witnessed had confirmed their validity. Some even speculated that Frederick was the mastermind behind the Castle family's vanishing and deaths. Could it be that Frederick was his true adversary?He pondered this question as he staggered back to the room, his mind in turmoil, causing him to stop periodically.Eventually, he arrived at Perry's room and was relieved to see that she was awake and under the care of a nurse."She requested solitude," Mia informed him, halting his attempt to enter the room. Although he yearned to remedy the situation or at least bring a smile to Perry's face, he was unable to conjure up a solution.*****One week ago***** "Orlando, your..." Mr Arnold began"I

With a smug smile, Alonso addressed the boardroom filled with murmurs of confusion and shock. "I find it necessary to inform you all that I now possess thirty-five percent of the company's shares. Therefore, none of you has the right to prevent me from attending this meeting or marrying Perry," he proclaimed, turning to his fiancé, who was still in a state of disbelief.The room erupted into a state of chaos as board members muttered amongst themselves, attempting to make sense of the situation. However, Alonso remained composed, relishing in the confusion he had caused.One member of the board could not contain his disbelief and lashed out at Alonso, calling him a "gold digger." Unfazed, Alonso warned him with a smile,"Watch your tone, sir, or you may end up causing your own downfall." The air in the room grew thick and oppressive, as tension continued to mount.“So tell me Alonso, which high school did you attend?” Philip mocked Alonso's high school background, and the noise in the

Philip's spine tingled with a shiver as he gazed upon Alonso's eyes. He couldn't fathom how a person without any connections could climb the ranks of the Castillo empire in less than a month, a feat he had been struggling with for years.As he sat there, listening to Alonso speak, Philip's mind raced with questions. Who could this man be?"You mentioned earlier that I threatened people," Alonso began, his tone laced with authority. "Care to explain why Fredrick was seen in the doctor's office during his last visit?"Philip froze, his disappointment in Fredrick evident in his gaze. He had warned him to be discreet.Perry, who had been previously content, now looked bewildered. "What are you talking about?" he asked."It may interest you all to know that Fredrick here was pressuring the doctor to change the cause of our beloved Chairman's death, your father" Alonso revealed, causing the room to fall silent."At first, I couldn't fathom why he would do such a thing. But knowing who he wo

Upon arriving home, they were welcomed by Philip's mother, who had been anxiously waiting for them. On Philip's instructions, Fredrick informed her about the situation.To Philip's surprise, his mother had prepared an elaborate feast for him, with a variety of foods. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Despite having lost her husband, his mother was wearing bright colours and a smile that seemed out of place.Before they sat down to eat, his mother gave him a smile that was almost too good to be true. that his life was about to go back to what it used to be. When the door creaked open, he looked up to see an old friend standing before him. It was someone he never thought he would see again, and the shock made his food turn sour in his mouth. He spat it out and looked to his mother for comfort, but all she could offer was a smile and a signal to remain calm.However, calm was the last thing Philip felt when he stormed out of the room in a fit of rage. He couldn't sit still a

*****Returning to the moment when Perry unexpectedly encountered Philip, Betty, and Gray.*****"Why do both of you appear as though you have just encountered a supernatural apparition? Additionally, why are there peculiar-looking men loitering within the confines of my father's residence?" she inquired in bewilderment "Moreover, what is the significance of this lavish arrangement? Is there a festivity transpiring that has eluded my knowledge?" she added, while approaching the table adorned with an array of delectable cuisine.To this, Perry bemoaned, "Ironically, following your downfall at the workplace today, you should have sought refuge somewhere in shame, rather than squandering food."Subsequently, he hurled insults, "And you, conniving with your illegitimate son to murder my father, have the audacity to usher in a new man to his abode, within a mere few hours of his demise? You are a devil incarnate." However, Philip warned him sternly never to demean his mother with derogatory

The fear of calling him and hearing the truth terrified her.Earlier, she had contacted the General and relayed everything Gray had told her. Surprisingly, the General had managed to calm her nerves, assuring her that Gray's accusations were nothing more than a pack of lies meant to upset her.Despite her desire to believe the General's words, Perry's mind still raced with doubt. It wasn't until she stumbled upon a photograph that her suspicions began to take shape once more.She found herself struggling to fall asleep, her mind a chaotic jumble of thoughts. Her father's sudden death, Alonso's hostile takeover of the company, and Gray's accusations of her involvement in the downfall of her family all raced through her head, making it impossible to find peace.
