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
Deep inside, Jay and Dr Mark were still surprised that the medicine was working well on Jeff Hordes; however, they didn't think much about it. Not too long after, Mr Davis walked into the room, surprised to see his father in good condition, sitting still on the bed. "I told you that you'd finally b
Nora's piercing scream echoed through the room as her grandfather, Jeff Hordes, collapsed before her eyes. Shock and fear gripped everyone in the room. Jay, Mr. Davis, and Dr. Mark stood frozen by the sudden turn of events."I should have listened to him, he was right!" Nora lamented, shifting her g
Grey maintained his composed demeanour and turned to everyone in the room, asking them if he could proceed with the treatment. However, a heavy silence enveloped the room as both Jay and Mr. Davis remained silent. They couldn't take responsibility for their decisions. And how could they ask Grey n
Grey ignored the doctor and continued to treat Jeff Hordes while the doctor gave Jeff the glucose. The glucose had earlier been prepared, and if Jeff Hordes recovered, they would attribute it to Dr Mark's medicine. However, if Jeff Hordes didn't recover, the doctor wouldn't be at a loss. "I'm sure
Grey also widened his eyes for the first time today at Jeff’s words. And something struck him. He soon realized the reason his grandfather asked him to visit Jeff in the first place. If he hadn’t guessed wrong, it was to make him meet Nora.Caught off guard by the revelation that Grey is Nora's fia
After Jeff Hordes introduced Nora to Grey, Nora began to make more findings about Grey. Even though she was sure of Grey's exceptional medical skills, she couldn't ignore her growing doubts about their compatibility.She concluded that Grey was not as ambitious or accomplished in other aspects of l
Nora continued to think about Cynthia's advice. Albert truly possessed all that she wanted in a man. Aside from all that Cynthia had said, Albert had business dealings with "Exquisite Chapters", the Hordes' major family business, and he also had good relations with her family. Exquisite Chapters an
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.

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
