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
"Hahaha..." Bella burst into profound laughter interrupting Mr Kent's words. It was obvious to Bella and Gregor that Mr Kent and the security men believed Grey, so they were now afraid of what would befall them if Ms Anderson found out about how Grey was being treated."You bastard! Why the hell are
Before Grey could take any further step, Gregor signalled to Mr Kent. Mr Kent however understood what Gregor meant. How could he not be smart enough to understand the signals of such an important personality as Gregor? He feared Gregor, so he was ready to do whatever Gregor wanted him to do. Upon
Without hesitation, Helen signalled to Mr Kent, "Call your boss, I need an explanation," she said. Then she turned to Grey. "I apologize again, but please don’t reject my invitation now, please accompany me," she said. Grey shrugged and agreed to follow her. Meanwhile, Mr Kent and the head of the
Just as Ms Anderson started to draw closer to where Gregor and Bella were standing, Gregor chuckled in excitement. This was an opportunity for him to meet with such a renowned beauty and celebrity! It was rare to come in close contact with such a personality in Croatway.So with his lecherous eyes,
Just when Helen was about to reach the entrance, a man in a crisp suit rushed forward with his heart pounding audibly and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He appeared very nervous with an aura of fear written all over him. He was Brian Rollins, the organizer of the auction, and he had just b
Since Mr Kent had apologized to Grey in sincerity and Grey hadn't suffered any loss in the process, he decided to accept Mr Kent's apologies. If it were the other way round, Grey would have made sure that Mr Kent paid for his misbehaviours, but since it wasn't, he didn't find it hard to forgive him
Helen believed that Gregor and Bella were a perfect match of fools, and she was determined not to keep wasting her precious time on them. So she shifted her gaze to Grey, gesturing to him. "Mr Grey, can we proceed to the event?" She asked. Grey nodded calmly as he moved with her to the event, still
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
