Just as Grey walked up to the reception of the Weston High Court, he heard Bella's voice. "Hahaha... Look at the loser. He's here." Bella and Curt had been awaiting Grey's arrival at the reception, eager to make a fool of him. "Oh... Really? Don't tell me the shameless fool is bent on taking the
The next morning, Grey arrived at Lodswig Associates to assume his position as the company's executive. Lodswig Associates was a towering edifice of glass and steel that reached skyward. Its windows were like crystalline eyes, framing the beautiful and bustling city. The building's silhouette cut t
It was Kayla Smith, the junior secretary, who knocked. "Miss Buffet, the CEO of Belize Companies, Curt Jones, and his fiancée are here to see you," the young lady announced. "Kindly ask them to wait for me at the reception. I'll join them shortly," Jane replied. Grey smirked as soon as he heard Cu
Within a few seconds, Grey received the email, and his lips curved into a smirk soon after. It was said that heaven's sins may be forgivable, but man's sins could not be tolerated. And now look at what Curt had done. He used his privileges in the company to demand the finance department to evade t
Meanwhile, in Grey's office, he called for Jane Buffet, his secretary, to make a very important announcement. "Jane, I want you to announce that Lodswig Associates is seeking cooperation with other companies, and we will host a grand party to discuss potential collaborations next month." Jane nodd
The old man's silver hair glistened under the soft lighting, and the expression on his face was calm. However, as Grey moved closer to him, he couldn't help but notice the deep lines etched on the man's forehead, the subtle signs of fatigue and discomfort that belied his otherwise composed demeanou
Nora was now really angry. This man from nowhere was overstepping his boundaries right now. Just because he was allowed into their house, he thinks he could spew trash! How could he tell her that her grandfather needed medical attention when it was clear that he didn't? This man obviously did not
Nora still burning in anger at Grey's words picked up her phone and began to dial a number. It was her father, Jerrold Hordes. He was one of the most influential figures generals in Weston and had fought and won many wars. Now that Grey had overstepped his boundaries, she couldn't wait to ask her fa
Grey's reputation grew exponentially across Croatway and all over Weston. His success in business and his dramatic rescue of his wife and child had made him a household name. Newspapers, television channels, and social media platforms were abuzz with stories of his exploits and excellence. Grey bec
Grey paced his living room, waiting for any news on Nora. She had been missing for hours, and every minute felt like an eternity. He had already contacted the police, but they had found no trace of her. Desperate, Grey called his most trusted men and ordered them to start a thorough investigation al
Nora let out a gasp of terror as she was yanked backward. It was a fierce man looming over her with his grip like iron on her arm. "Thought you could get away, did you?" he snarled, dragging her back toward the house. Nora struggled, but her strength was no match for his. She held her baby even clo
The ropes binding Nora's wrists dug into her skin, but she ignored the pain. Her baby’s cries had long since faded, replaced by an eerie silence that filled her with dread. Outside the room, Bradley dialled a number with her face a mask of cold fury. “Where is Grey?” she demanded, her voice sharp a
Nora’s breath caught in her throat as she recognized them. Bradley, Carol, and Sandra—the wives of Jeff Hordes who had glared at her and her family with disdain during the reading of Jeff's will. The same women who had harbored resentment towards her and Grey for receiving the bulk of Jeff’s estate.
Nora was driving home from work one evening, the sky a soft orange as the sun set behind the hills. Her thoughts were a jumble of the day’s events and the upcoming plans she had for the weekend. In the back seat, her newborn baby slept peacefully in the car seat, while her carer, Emily, hummed a lul
Noah and Oliver, Bradley's sons, sat in the average living room of their mother's house with their expressions hard and their voices, heated. The fallout from Jeff Hordes' Will had left a bitter taste in their mouths, and they couldn’t let it go. “This is absurd,” Oliver said, pacing the floor, his
The sprawling Hordes mansion in Croatway was a hive of activity. Cars lined the long driveway, and people milled about, exchanging hushed greetings and speculative glances. It was a rare occasion that brought the entire Hordes family together, and the air was thick with anticipation and a touch of u
PART 2 (QUARTER TO THE END) The Hordes family hospital was a sprawling complex, renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities and expert medical staff. Inside one of the wards, Jeff Hordes lay critically ill in one of the private suites. He had been battling a severe illness for weeks, and despite
