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
The SSVIP box where Helen and Grey were, had three solid walls and a glass wall in front, providing a clear view of the podium where the auction items would be carefully displayed for everyone to see. Each SSVIP box was divided and had its own private room, so even though there were several similar
However, Gregor was suddenly reluctant when he checked the balance on his card. He felt that he had already bought Bella some expensive items at the auction and if he outbid Grey, he would have to spend money again on such a worthless item that they didn't need.When Bella noticed Gregor's reluctanc
As Helen continued to watch Grey bid, she remained calm and quiet. After all, the money was nothing to her. She was much richer than that and hundreds of thousands were just like a piece of cake to her, let alone a hundred thousand. Notwithstanding, Helen began to be sceptical about Grey. Before en
Gregor continued to bid. Now the price of the tambourine was $600,057 after Gregor had added one more dollar to it.Soon the price rose to 1,000,061 and by now every other customer was watching the dramatic show in awe. They wondered if these two were insane, otherwise, who would pay so much for a m
Bella and Gregor believed that it was Helen who was going to pay for the expensive tambourine; after all, Grey was an ordinary pauper who couldn't afford such an amount. She was the reason why Grey was so bold to keep on placing bids of such enormous amounts.Grey chuckled casually. "Oh no, Miss.
Gregor felt very helpless. He felt like a fool for paying for the tambourine; however, he knew that there was nothing he could have done to exempt himself from paying for it. According to the auction rules, participants who successfully won the items they bidded for were obligated to purchase them.
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
