While the competition commenced, with the horses galloping at the starting signal, Grey's horse lagged significantly, positioned at the rear of the pack.The competition became more fierce, and Grey's horse was still at the very rear."Hahaha... The poor bugger is already losing out!""What a shame!
Now, Erin ended up as one of the last three losers in the competition. "No going back on the deal! Anyone who goes back on this deal will have his whole family dead!" One of the classmates reminded.Right now, Erin found $100,000 too outrageous!Even though he posed to be rich before his old classm
But since the guests were already carried away by how cheap the painting was, they continued to pass negative remarks, scoffing at Grey.Laurel, John's wife, continued to stare at the painting with disgust. "What a poor loser he is, no wonder his wife divorced him," she thought. Laurel knew about
While the guests at the party continued to stare at Grey in bewilderment, he gallantly walked back to his seat.After sitting for a while, he heard the beeping sound of his phone, so he picked it up. "Hello, sir. I'm calling to inform you that the car you requested has just arrived," a male voice w
Sam had once met Grey at Spinfluence Inc. working as a delivery man, so he looked down on Grey. In fact, seeing Grey at such an exquisite party like the birthday party was a surprise to him. He wondered how such a low-life as Grey would be invited to such an extravagant party. He had also been sho
"If you end up buying that car, then I'll drop every valuable material thing I brought along to this shop, including the new car I just bought!" Sam bragged."I think you're delaying so much, Miss. Why don't you just call security to kick the bloody liar out of here!" Laurel added. Both Sam and Lau
From the look of things, the other customers believed that Grey couldn't afford the car but he was ashamed to accept defeat and leave the shop because of Sam and Laurel's confrontation and because of those watching them. "This guy is such a jerk! How could he be so stupid not to back out now?""I w
Grey grinned in satisfaction as he dialled a number on his phone. "Thompson, come right away to Brawlings Motors on Deloit Street," he instructed, and then he ended the call.Within a few minutes, a tall gentleman walked into the car shop and Grey instructed him to drive Laurel's new car to his hou
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
