—A day before…—Bianca stormed into Gerald’s office, tossing her bag on the couch and pacing anxiously. She was certain – absolutely certain – that the person she had seen at the grocery mall was Diane, and it left her deeply unsettled.Gerald, engrossed in his calculations, grew irritated by her agitated behavior. He continued to jot down notes while glancing at his computer screen.Frustrated by her pacing, he quipped, “What's gotten your panties all tied up in a bunch, Bianca? You’re distracting my calculations with all this commotion.”Bianca gulped, then she paused and turned to face him. “I think I saw someone familiar today, Gerald. I'm so sure she was the one. Her name was Diane Monez, a maid to the Danforths then when Leon’s wife, Caroline was alive.”Gerald looked up at her with furrowed brows. “And how is that a problem, Bianca? I fail to understand where you’re going with this.”Bianca looked away, thinking thoughtfully. “There was something wrong involving how she suddenl

It was a new day, and as Travis entered the living room, he was surprised to find Joanna busy in the kitchen, humming along to a song while preparing breakfast. Leaning against the door frame, he observed her with curiosity.“What are you up to?” he inquired, intrigued by this unusual sight.Could it be that she remembered our anniversary?Joanna turned to face him. “Oh, you’re awake, Travis! I just felt like doing something special today, so I thought I’d cook.”Travis nodded slowly, still quite amused. “Hmm, you must be in a really good mood, Joanna. Tell me, is work going to be demanding today?”Joanna glanced at him and asked, “Why do you want to know?”“Just wondering if I could take you out for a date. It’s been a while. Every couple needs that at least every once in a while, don't you think?” he proposed, eager to see her next reaction or an answer to his proposal.Joanna felt a lump in her throat as Travis's question put her in a tricky situation. She had a full day planned wi

While grappling with the challenge of explaining things to Joanna, a brilliant idea suddenly dawned on him.He made a U-turn when he spotted a roadside car repair shop, pulled in, and handed $20 to the owner. In exchange, he asked the owner to replace the BMW 760 badge with a BMW 520 badge.The BMW 5 Series bore a striking resemblance to the 7 Series, with the most noticeable differences lying beneath the hood and within the interiors. Most people found it challenging to differentiate them from the outside, often relying on the badge at the rear.The 520, belonging to the lower tier of the 5 Series, offered decent performance and handling characteristics across the board. In stark contrast, the 760, positioned as the pinnacle of the 7 Series, boasted formidable power, exceptional control, and excellence in various aspects.As Travis cruised in the BMW 760, now adorned with a 520 badge, he pondered Joanna’s limited knowledge of cars. She had never delved into the nuances of different a

Travis fetched Maya in his new car after Joanna informed him that she would be running late. He drove her back home, and upon arriving, he noticed preparations were already underway. Isabella was in the final stages of setting up the surprise, and when she spotted Travis's arrival, she approached him with enthusiasm."Hello, Master Travis! We're nearly finished," she informed him.Travis raised an eyebrow and inquired, "You're sure no one followed you here? Many people have been curious about who hired you; they might have tracked you."Isabella shook her head confidently and reassured him, "No need to worry, Master Travis. I took thorough precautions for this. Your wife will be delighted when she arrives."Travis nodded, content with her response.Daddy, what’s happening?” Maya asked from his arms, her curious gaze scanning the unfamiliar faces and activities inside their home. “There are people in our house, Daddy,” she observed, looking up at him for an explanation.Travis nodded,

The following morning, Travis sat rigidly on the dining chairs, his anger showing no signs of subsiding. He glared at the photographs spread out on the table in front of him. Deciding he no longer needed Isabella’s presence, he had instructed her to leave. Now, it was just him and his daughter, who had fallen asleep in her room.He couldn't sleep. His mind was consumed by the images in those photographs. Anger pulsed through his entire being as he impatiently waited for Joanna to walk through that door.How could she do this? How could she cheat on him? Travis believed she was capable of better than this. If she held any resentment towards him, there were far more reasonable ways to express it than this painful betrayal.His hands clenched tight on the table as he fought hard to contain his seething anger. His breathing came in harsh, uneven gasps, and his eyes burned red.“Arghhh!” He bellowed in fury, abruptly rising from his chair and sending the table crashing to the floor. The pi

Sophia trailed Travis as he arrived at a bar surprisingly early, watching as he ordered a beer and lost himself in deep contemplation at the bar table. She was keenly aware that their scheme had taken a toll on him. He must be seething with anger.She dialed Edwin to provide an update. “Hello, Ed.”“Hey, babe,” Edwin responded casually.Sophia’s mouth twitched in annoyance at the word ‘babe’ and continued, “Well, Travis is drinking at a bar, Edwin, which means he’s furious. He certainly got the pictures about what his wife did to him.”“Oh. Is that so? Just imagine him discovering that I’m the mastermind behind it all. Travis is a real bastard when angry, he must have done something to his wife or maybe do something to her as payback,” Edwin mused over the phone.“Hmm, perhaps the best course of action for Travis is to divorce her and find someone else good enough for him,” she commented, her gaze fixed on Travis from her seat with a seductive, dreamy expression.“What?” Edwin blurted

The security guard remained skeptical of Travis.Travis’s demeanor and tone gave the impression that he harbored a personal grudge against Mr. Sinclair. Moreover, he didn’t appear to match the caliber of individuals who usually met with the boss.Travis, observing the guard’s uncertainty, tilted his head and let out a light chuckle. He nodded as if acknowledging the skepticism. “I guess your boss is too big for the likes of me to meet, huh? Well, guess what, he's way out of my league. Now, do me a favor, tell him that Travis Danforth has requested an audience, if he knows what’s best.”The security guard chuckled too, shaking his head. “I see. You’ve got some nerve, Mr. Danforth, claiming that my boss is beneath you. You?” He laughed, still finding Travis’s audacity rather intriguing.“I’ve met plenty of people in my time, but none quite like you. You’re something else.”Travis observed the guard’s laughter and let out a resigned sigh.“I'm not in the mood for any humiliation or insult

What?Could this really be the real Travis Danforth?Ezekiel's knees trembled as fear and trepidation consumed him. He continued to scrutinize Travis, struggling to accept the possibility that this man before him could indeed be the chairman of the Danforth Group.No way!! It couldn't be true, could it?"Give me back my phone," Travis demanded, his anger unwavering as he locked eyes with Ezekiel. "Since you believe I'm an impostor, why not put it to the test? Or do you have reservations about confirming my identity?" Travis challenged.Ezekiel gulped, still grappling with disbelief. "Are — are you truly Travis Danforth? Is this for real?""I've said it, let's try it out. I'm more than willing to prove my authenticity. Hand me my phone," Travis pressed on, his annoyance palpable.Ezekiel shook his head in desperation and dropped to his knees. "No, no, if you truly are Travis Danforth, you must understand that I didn't intend for any of this to happen. I swear, it was never my intention

Travis’s sneer deepened as he cocked his head, scrutinizing the expression etched across Larry Roberts’ face. “Ah, I see the wheels turning in your head. Planning your revenge, are you? Plotting how you’ll come back and wreak havoc on my family once you're released from jail for causing public disturbances.”Larry's shock was evident as he looked up at Travis, his eyes widened in horror, yet he vehemently denied any such thoughts. “What?! No, no, I wouldn’t dream of such a thing…”With a disdainful scoff, Travis fixed him with a piercing glare. “Whether you admit it or not is inconsequential. But rest assured, any such notions are futile. You won't have the opportunity.”Larry Roberts trembled at Travis's words, a chill running down his spine. Glancing at his brother, Vince, he began to realize that Travis was more than just a man with a formidable force at his beck and call. “I… I can see now that you're wealthy and influential. I was naive not to recognize it earlier. But to exact p

Colonel Richard Wayne stood before Travis, his posture rigid and his salute precise, a testament to his military training and discipline. With an air of seriousness, he addressed Travis, “Sir, Colonel Richard Wayne of the esteemed Storm Reapers Special Forces, reporting for duty. We stand prepared with a thousand elite fighters at your command. Your orders, Sir!”Travis regarded the colonel with a mixture of bewilderment and uncertainty. The level of deference and respect being shown to him left him feeling perplexed and out of his depth. He couldn’t fathom why the colonel regarded him with such importance or how he possessed the authority to issue orders to a military unit of such caliber. It left him pondering the extent of his influence and connections, a realm he hadn’t fully explored or understood.As Travis grappled with these thoughts, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye. Perhaps his Uncle Marshall or his father could shed some

In a sudden flurry of commotion, a voice rang out, exclaiming, “Yes, yes, boss is here! Larry, the big boss, has arrived! You’re done for now, you bastard!”The gang members erupted into a unified cheer, delighted by the presence of Larry Roberts, while Travis could only sneer in response.They quickly cleared a path through the middle, forming an aisle to ensure no hindrance to Larry’s entrance.Amidst the anticipation, a sleek black Mercedes Benz S550 glided into view before the crowd, its license plate bearing Larry’s name, unmistakably signaling his arrival.With a disdainful glare at Travis, Vince strode toward the car and swiftly opened the door, offering a greeting to his brother. "Welcome, big brother. It's fortunate that you're here."A robust figure clad in all black emerged from the Mercedes. As customary, two buttons of his shirt remained undone, revealing a wolf tattoo emblazoned across his chest, a clear indication to all present of his status as the Alpha of the North,

Unfazed by Jinx’s menacing tone, Travis interjected with a stern gaze, “Did you just threaten us?”Jinx, fixing his scrutinizing gaze on Travis, retorted with a dismissive frown, “I wasn’t talking to you, so keep your filthy mouth shut.”A low chuckle escaped Travis, a manifestation of his composed demeanor, as he nonchalantly looked away, his anger simmering by the second he stood there.Joanna cast a troubled glance at Travis, her discomfort palpable as the tension in the air thickened. Struggling with the weight of the situation, she paused, gathering her thoughts to formulate a compelling argument.Sensing Joanna’s unease, Travis stepped in to lend his support, “You profess to be residents, yet a majority have already willingly signed the contracts. Do you genuinely reside here?”Aligning with Travis’s suspicion, Joanna interjected, “Exactly! Allow me to register your IDs. I can act as an intermediary with the Demolition Office, negotiating on your behalf. What do you think of tha
