Almost immediately, she heard another provocative comment. "I'll make sure I personally deal with the foolish and God-forsaken cleaner!" "What?" These insults were getting out of hand, and Jane was running impatient. How could these people continue to insult her boss for crying out loud?! She neede
While Gregor continued to be congratulated, Jane finally began to call the names on the list. Dawson Group was obviously not the first on the list as Gregor had predicted. Even at that, Gregor was still very much hopeful. He was sure that his company name would soon be called. Not too long after, J
"Now, listen to me you, idiot. If you don't keep quiet and accept your bad luck as you call it, you'll be the one to cry instead. Now, cover your face in shame and walk out of this room at once!" Grey maintained a cold stare as he spoke with authority. This made the other attendees glance at him in
At the end of the meeting at Lodswigs Associates, Grey stepped out into the cool evening breeze after clinking glasses and celebrating success with some of his subordinates. Gregor and the Pitts had left the meeting feeling so broken and disappointed.Just after he had taken a few steps out of his o
The atmosphere in the mansion's pharmacy shifted as Grey meticulously inspected the medicinal herbs laid out before him. As he examined the herbs, a frown creased his forehead, and a shadow of concern crossed his face. Could this be real? he muttered quietly, staring at the herbs in shock.Nora who
As Jay's insinuations took root in Nora's mind, doubt crept in, casting a greater shadow over the trust Nora had placed in Grey. "My cousin is right. Why do you fabricate issues about the herbs when you know that you're not sure of what to do about my Grandfather's health?" Nora asked, with a stern
Amidst the brewing tension between Grey, Jay, and Nora, Mr. Davis Hordes, Jay's father, arrived at the mansion and heard arguments from the mansion's pharmacy, so he went to check the pharmacy to see what was going on. "What's going on here?" Mr Davis asked, as soon as he walked into the pharmacy a
Even though, Jay knew inwardly that the poisonous herbs were not a mere accident, but a plan to kill his grandfather slowly, he continued to make mockery of Grey, at least to make Nora belief that Grey didn't know what he was doing. It would be easier to achieve their plans, if he made Grey look so
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
