Grey sighed and said, "Now the plate is broken. How about you consider me a garbage collector and give me the trash? I'll play with it myself, alright?"The shop owner, initially dismissive of Grey's proposal to restore the antique plate, found himself intrigued by Grey's confidence and persistence.
Grey kept silent at the shop owner's inquiry. He wasn't going to tell him the techniques he used, so he maintained a smile. The shop owner who was still captivated by what he witnessed, believed that Grey had employed lost techniques to bring the antique plate back to life. After all, he saw the m
Grey was intrigued by the woman's beauty as she walked in. Her silhouette commanded attention effortlessly. She had an hourglass figure, and a radiant smile adorned her lips. Of course, compared to such beauty, his ex-wife Bella paled in comparison!Even though Grey was not the type that was usuall
Ms. Anderson was determined not to allow this opportunity to slip off her hands. Grey's exceptional abilities would be very useful in moving her business forward. She wasted no time expressing her intentions."Mr. Grey, your skills are truly remarkable. I represent my family's business, and we woul
As Grey walked towards the meeting venue, he suddenly caught sight of Van, Bella's brother, at the entrance."What is he doing here?" Grey wondered as he approached the entrance. Van had come to seek cooperation with Lodswigs Associates because he wanted to compensate for what his sister, Bella had
Apart from Van and Gregor, Richard and Charles, Van's cousins, had also come to seek cooperation with Lodswigs Associates.Richard and Charles were from different families; their fathers were younger brothers to Bella's father, Frank Pitts.Since Pitts Empire was on the verge of collapsing, whicheve
Gregor who had just been looking for an opportunity to taunt Grey also spoke up with a twisted smile on his face. "You know what?" he began in a tone laden with sarcasm, "I must thank you for divorcing Bella. It has given me the golden opportunity to step in and claim what an idiot like yourself ev
"Hahaha...." Gregor was amused at Grey's words. How could he even think that he would believe his fabricated lies about Bella, just like he made everyone believe, making Bella appear like a slut and cheat?"Look here, loser, don't think I will fall for that stupid talk of yours just like some fools.
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
