Mark was drinking an exotic wine in his office with his girlfriend, pre-celebrating Laura's failure which was laughable but fun for him.

"So, we're both here having a pre-celebration of Laura's big failure which hasn't been really confirmed. It doesn't seem all right, you know," his girlfriend said, dropping her glass on the desk.

"It's right because I'm sure she failed. Just in a little while, one of my persons which I had sent to keep an eye on her would walk in," Mark said and his girlfriend nodded and took her glass.

Just like he had said, after a few minutes, both heard a knock on the door and a guy walked in.

"So, what happened?" Mark asked him.

"Sir, I went to the new company and saw your sister walking out with a low spirit," he said.

Mark's lip curled into a smirk and he dismissed the guy, bursting into laughter the next minute as he arose.

"I told you, babe, she failed."

"Yay, that's awesome," his girlfriend said and giggled, biting her lower lip.

"Now, I'll start arranging

    Ma'am Miguel and the rest of the family were greatly shocked and bewildered to hear the news.For a normal family, hearing such great news will lead to excitement and jubilation, especially gratitude to the one who struck the deal but for the Miguel's it was far from that. They were just astonished.For the first time in a long time, since Laura married Feran, her grandmother believed her without uttering doubtful words.Mark especially was mad by the news and jealousy webbed his heart for Laura. He never in his wildest imagination saw Laura winning the bet."Hey, Laura, how were you able to meet with the company, F.A-Globe's CEO?" Mark asked Laura, sarcastically.Laura smiled and answered calmly."Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't meet the CEO in person…""That's it! The contract documents are fake!" Mark claimed, banging the table with a fist."How dare you, Laura? How dare you present a fake contract to the entire family? I see you want to insult us all, huh?"Laura gnashed her t

    Mark couldn't bring himself to commend Laura for striking the deal but he unwillingly submitted to his grandmother's decision."You're right grandmother. Laura…I will give you the full respect you deserve onwards," Mark said, using every nerve he got in his body to hide his unhappiness and disappointment.He put on an eased look and forced a smile at Laura, seeming to become well-behaved and calm. But secretly, Mark despised Laura for her guts and he became determined to undermine her future at all cost. He swore not to let her go above him and stand on his head for he was the future heir to the family's business; the favorite grandson."That's better," Ma'am Miguel said, rising up. "Now this meeting has come to an end."Ma'am Miguel walked out and so did everyone left the room one by one excerpt from Mark who stood at a spot for a while, gnashing his teeth in fury."What's wrong, babe?"

    After having dinner, Feran washed the dishes and when he was done, he took out his phone from his pocket and sent a call across to someone."Yes, Cole…you did a good job. Thanks. We'll talk later and…""Talk later about what?" The voice of Mitchel Interrupted, causing Feran to hang up immediately and spun to face her."Mother-in-law…""Good job? Who did a good job? And who were you talking to?" Mitchel inquired with a stern expression."Nothing. Just talking to my friend and co-worker at the bar I used to work at before," Feran said."What's your business with that bar? You no longer work there, right?" Mitchel questioned, skeptically."Yeah. But I'm thinking of going to work there again. And my friend said there's a lack of waiters and he's doing almost everything and that's why I said 'you did a good job'."Mitchel nodded and sighed."Whatever. It's not like the penny you would be getting there as salary would help us in any way. Just find a good job,silly," Mitchel said. She rolled

    When the manager excused himself to answer an important call after Mark introduced himself, Mark proudly prepared his speeches in his head which he was planning to use to win the heart of the manager so he could completely forget about Laura.His mind flashed back to how Laura sounded cheesed off and frustrated when he called last night and he couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.The manager returned his gaze to him after ending the call and Mark gently cleared his throat, quitting his laughter."Mr Mark, so you're from the Miguel Mega Empire, right?" The manager asked as he gestured at Mark to follow him, walking down the hallway to his office."Yes. Mark Miguel," Mark proudly introduced, adjusting his tie and walking side-by-side with the manager."So, um, where's she?" The manager asked, glancing back in search of someone.Mark creases his forehead, oblivious of who he was asking about. "Sorry? Who Sir?" Mark asked."Laura. She was the one whom I signed the deal with. So, where

    After saying her final words, grandmother walked out of the study with a grimace.Everyone was anxious except for Frank.They all noticed the sudden change of power and presumably, status in the family. They have been kissing Mark's ass all this while only because they knew he might become the CEO and future head of the family but now he's standing on the edge, one step away from losing everything he has and they started having a second thought about their allegiance to him."I can't believe this happened. Did you clearly hear what grandmother said, Mark?" Clara asked, astonished and chuckled in disbelief when Mark didn't utter a word in response to her question."Grandmother is damn serious," Tasha said, cracking her knuckles as her eyes moved around the room."Hell yes, she is. Didn't you see the strong expression she had? I'm sure she's not going back on her word if the contract is eventually terminated," Phoenix said."I'm certain grandmother meant everything she said," Mark final

    Mark went insane in astonishment. He paced to and fro in his office, perplexed. He couldn't believe a seemingly loser like Feran could have the effrontery to just hang up on him. "Babe, how dare that worthless live-in son-in-law, Feran, be so bold to hang up on you?" His girlfriend asked, bewildered.She was also astonished when she walked into Mark talking to Feran and became speechless when she learnt from Mark that Feran hung up on him."I think he just gathered the audacity to hang up on you after talking nonsense because you weren't in front of him. I'm certain he wouldn't have dared to go against your wish if you were seeing him.""I will see to his brazenness later," Mark said and sent a text message to Damon, requesting he come to meet as soon as he could."You look worried, Mark. Let's go have a drink. I'm going to cheer you up," his girlfriend offered, caressing his face."Get your hands off me," Mark flinched."I'm in no mood for a drink. I need to solve my problem," Mark

    Mark regained himself and straightened up, acting like the blow he just received from Feran was nothing."Feran, I need to see Laura. Go inform her about our arrival," he said, staring straight into Feran's unwavering eyes.Seeing Feran didn't utter a word or made a move to go get Laura, Mark attempted to go in but Feran held up a hand, stopping him."Didn't you come here to beg for help?" Feran asked, making Damon's jaw drop.He was appalled that Mark could think of coming over to seek Laura's forgiveness.Starting to see the disappointing look which was expanding on Damon's face, Mark smirked at Feran."Beg? Me? You've got to be kidding me," Mark shrugged."There you go. You're damn egocentric," Mark spat. He hated the way Mark still puffed with pride even on the verge of sliding down the cliff if Laura didn't help him out. One thing was certain for him, he was going to make Mark so do the needful."Look, I know you badly need my wife, Laura's help, so you better start acting like o

    Laura didn't utter a word of objection nor did she affirm what her mother said for she didn't want to divorce Feran. She's been married to him for a few years now and he's been nothing but good to get despite her entire family treating him like a piece of garbage.If only she could tell her mother that she hit the deal because of Feran's involvement and was dependent on his help but she couldn't bring herself to do that. Feran already asked her not to."Mom, you think Feran is utterly useless?" She asked instead.Mitchel nodded and chuckled."Don't tell me you doubt that, Laura."Laura sighed, looking away without saying a word for a minute."Mom," she said, returning her gaze to her mother."Yes?""Give him a year, please. And you're going to see the changed him," Laura requested.Mitchel opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find any words to utter. She still had doubts that Feran was going to change but she silently agreed to her daughter's request."But, Laura. Why do as

    Laura couldn't believe what Elijah had asked for. His eyes were gloomy and filled with the intention to kill, and she knew that this was not going to end well. Having the kind of feeling of somewhat fear in her, her heart throbbed furiously, as the words sank deep and her head absorbed the thought of what he just said. How come he still wanted to kill Feran? She didn't understand what the hell he was talking about. Her eyes twitched as she heard the words, and her heart couldn't take it fully. "I'm not going to do what you say, Elijah. I can't believe you still want to take Feran down. What the hell are you doing? I know you don't know what you are doing, or maybe you don't know the repercussions of it. You should stop having those sinister thoughts in your head, Elijah, or you might end up killing your already black soul," she said. "You know, I only spent a year in jail and did you know what I was thinking all those while? Feran. I was thinking of how to destroy him. I think

    "Elijah has escaped. I'm sure he's going to think of hurting one of us," Zoey said, getting scared. "No, Aunt. He won't hurt any of us," Feran said. He quickly called Fernando, who had taken Lovisa and his son, Frazier, to the mall. He ordered him to get them back home safely and ended the call after telling him to tighten the security of the house when he returns. Zita eyed Laura. "I'm sure you know that he was going to escape, right?" "You can't be trusted, Laura. You're a sly woman!" Zoey's accused. "No, Mrs. Anderson. I had no idea. And you don't have to worry. Feran is here. I won't think of joining hands with Elijah to cause harm to any of you because you all are genuinely good," Laura said. "I know my presence is not that appreciated here so I would like to take my leave so you guys can celebrate the girl's birthday well." "Sorry about the accusations, Laura," Jeana said.

    Laura was speechless for a while after Mary revealed who sent the flowers. Unlike her mother who was obviously In a rage, Laura found it so nice of Feran and Jeana to send her flowers."Give me the card," Laura asked, stretching out her hand to Mary."Laura, you shouldn't…" Mitchel paused and glared at Mary as she gave the card to Laura.Laura smiled and read the message on the card.'Hello, Laura, we are saying a big congratulations on your safe delivery. Though it's a bit late, try to overlook the time you got these flowers and rather accept it with our sincere joy for you. Hope your child is doing well. Do take care of yourself. Our regards to your child. Your well-wishers….

This is really great.""What's wrong with you, Laura?" Mitchel asked, jerking up to her feet. "What's go

    A month later, Feran got a call from one of the companies manager. He received some bad news that one of the company workers had stolen an important journal. "What's wrong?" Jeana asked after they had breakfast. She saw the look on his face despite him telling her that all was well, she still didn't believe him."I'll go to work now." Feran arose from the couch and went to the bathroom to ease himself, when he came out, he saw Jeana dressed up."Are you going somewhere?" He asked. She gave him a strange look and nodded."Your sisters will be visiting soon. You don't need to go over there to see them." He thought she wanted to go pay her sisters a visit."I am not going to pay anyone a visit. I'm coming along with you, Feran," she said."Excuse me?""Yes?""What did you just say?""You heard me right, Feran. Let's go to work." Feran took.his office bag."No. You are going no where with me," Feran refused."What is wrong with you, Feran?""You are pregnant, Jeana. You shouldn't be work

    Silence filled the room after Laura had left. One after the other, they all came forward to apologize to Jeana."Jeana, dear. I'm sorry I didn't even utter a word when you left," Greg said. "Please forgive me.""No, Uncle Greg. You did nothing wrong." Jeana shook her head."We all didn't bother to check things from your perspective but kept quiet after Zita humiliated you and asked you to leave," Zoey said and sighed. "Jeana, I'm sorry. I'm the worst person to you.""Come on, Aunt. You're my best person," Jeana flattered."Laura had good timing but her future is ill-timed now. That sly woman should never have anyone to call 'love'. She doesn't deserve anyone's love," Anna said."You all don't need to apologize, please. I'm the one expected to apologize. I didn't even get to apologize properly to you all before leaving the house. I'm sorry I deceived you all. Honestly, I didn't want to do that before. I wasn't going to keep the truth from you all for long. I wanted to tell you all befo

    Laura couldn't bring herself to admonish herself nor could she believe that Feran had any evidence of her. She felt he was lying and was just trying to mess with her mind to force her to spill out the truth."What are you talking about, Feran?" She asked when she found her voice. She glanced at everyone and fixed her gaze on Zita whose stern look was pushing her to quiver but she clenched her fists, lifting up her chin and shaking her head. "F…Feran is saying something which I can't understand. Feran, stop it, okay?" She pointed at Feran. He held her finger and pulled it down.He took out a report from an envelope and held it up to her face. "This is your original pregnancy test." He gave the report to Zita."Laura is actually five months pregnant now. She lied that she was six months pregnant and brought a made-up pregnancy report."Zita went through the report and gave it to Zita who went through it and passed it onto the other family members."Lie! You're lying, Feran! You want to

    Feran was in his office when Fernando walked in to give him some new information."Sir, I've been keeping an eye on Jeana as you said," Fernando informed."How's she doing?""She and her sisters are struggling to live.""What?" Feran arose, mystified. "It's been two months since we parted ways and she hasn't bothered to call or come to me for help.""I know her well not to have another misconception about her. Sir, Jeana is a woman of self-respect and values. I'm sure she doesn't want to have anything to do with you again so as to not cause any problems."Feran sighed and sat down. "What has she been doing to sustain herself and her sisters?""She's been working in a cafe as a waitress for over a month now. Her immediate younger sister, Kayla, also started working a part-time job.""What else do you have about her?""I don't think she's in a good shape. She looks tired sometimes when I see her.""Maybe I'll pay her a visit soon.""Sir, you've got some businessmen to meet in the next t

    When Laura entered the car to head back to the Anderson house, her phone beeped. It was a message from an unknown number. She guessed who the sender was before opening the message.'Meet me now in the jailhouse,' that was the message. Laura tossed her phone to the seat and locked her fingers."Elijah," she muttered.The driver tilted his head and asked her."Ma'am, did you say something?""Hm, no. Start driving," Laura said. While he was driving back to the Anderson house, she thought of a way to get him to stop the car and leave so she could go to see Elijah. She didn't want the driver to take her there because she knows for sure that Feran was going to know about it and would find out that she came to visit Elijah, and if that happens, he might start thinking there's a connection between her and him and start doubting her.She didn't want any of that to happen. She thought harder when the driver was just ten minutes away from the house and finally sneered when she got an idea.She s

    Anita was surprised and so excited that she kept stealing glances at Feran while he was driving. She couldn't believe he was taking her out for the first time. She wondered if his mother had asked him to.When she got a hunch that Feran's mother, Zita, must have asked him to look after her well and make her happy, she smiled broadly at Feran who returned her smile with a fake half smile that seemed genuine to Anita.While Feran kept driving, then it hit Anita. She glanced at him and saw he had a smile on his face. She was amazed and wondered if he had any other intention. 'No, he wouldn't be thinking of dumping me elsewhere, would he?' she thought, and glancing at Feran, chills went down her spines. She recalled how her family treated him. The times he was maltreated by her family, all flashed in her mind and her lips parted when she recalled when he promised them that he was going to get revenge and make them pay."Feran, where are you taking me to?" She asked suddenly, panting. Fe
