Helen continued to watch Grey in awe. She was not too surprised at what Grey had just told her about himself. She could tell from the first time that she met Grey that he was uncommon. Helen could perceive a mysterious aura which he exuded, giving her the impression that he was a powerful and reclu
"Okay, then," Helen replied her father's assistant briefly and ended the call. This was not the first time that such would happen. If a meeting had to take place in her absence, she simply connected while in her car.She glanced at Grey who was still sitting beside her at the passenger's seat. Grey
When the Dawson family found out about the auction, they saw it as an opportunity for them to rise again without having to seek cooperation with other top companies. They believed that if they could successfully buy a certain meteorite which contained special minerals at the auction, they would use
At Grey's words, Bella became furious. Her eyes and cheeks turned red, and she felt like she had been put on hot flames, and was burning. Grey's words were too painful for her to bear. He had indirectly just called her a slut. This was enough to make her collapse! She found it difficult to reply to
No longer able to contain his emotions, Gregor burst out loudly so that Grey could hear him. "You had better open up right now before you're caught! I'm sure you stole that invitation card. It does not belong to you but to someone else!" Upon hearing this, Grey casually ignored him and walked away
Being asked to off one's clothes in public was enough insult and embarrassment. It was proof of gross distrust of whoever was involved. And Grey didn't see any reason to agree to such a humiliating order. However, he didn't want to cause any trouble. Grey knew that if he blatantly refused the secur
As soon as the manager arrived at the entrance, he saw Grey standing with the security guards.However, as soon as the security men saw the manager approaching them, they bowed and saluted him in subjection with the manager simply nodding in response.Almost immediately, Mr Kent noticed the presence
Grey was surprised at the manager's sudden reaction towards him. This so-called manager was not even sure of who he was, neither had he weighed the authenticity of the information spelt out to him, yet he was quick at addressing him very rashly. Grey wondered if the manager received any training on
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
