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

    When Feran stepped out of the bathroom later in the night, he met Laura awake. He seldom finds her awake by that time so seeing her lost in thoughts in the middle of the night threw him off."Uh, are you okay?" He asked, walking up to the bed with a concerned expression."Yeah. I'm good. I just woke up and I really don't feel sleepy right now," Laura said, sliding out her legs from beneath the blanket."You seem bothered. What's wrong?" He asked. Laura stared at him for a while and shook her head. She was actually thinking about what her mother had said earlier regarding Feran and her ( Mitchel's) wish for her to divorce him. "Nothing is wrong?" Feran asked again, expecting she could say something."Hm. Yeah. I've just been thinking lately, Feran,* she said."Thinking about what?""Your family," Laura muttered. Feran's jaw tightened hearing that. "Oh. So, what about them?" Feran asked dumbly."Where are they? Who are they?" Laura asked, wishing he could give answers to her questions

    The manager was totally dumbfounded by Feran's quest and didn't utter a word for some seconds."Sir, the money given by your family, the Anderson's to you was for running the company and business usage only," the manager reluctantly said after regaining his voice."And you've got no right to move it and buy assets for your own purpose. I'm sorry," he added. Expecting Feran to get a bit upset or try to find another way of achieving his aim, the manager was dazed when a smile appeared on Feran's face.Feran, seeing how stunned the manager was by not seeing him down in the mouth, he widened his smile and drew out a card from his pocket."I've always known a day like this would come. And for long, I've alway knew my brother, Vicentzo would someday be in charge of the family business so I had to prepare myself for times like this,"Feran said. His facial expression went sour as his mind flashed back to one certain day he loathed. **** **** ****Feran just got into highschool then an

    As presumed by Frank, Mark returned to the mansion the next day and told grandmother all that happened. She couldn't believe what he said."I'm saying nothing but the truth grandmother. That worthless piece of rag, Feran said you should come over yourself since you …" Mark went shut when ma'am Miguel raised up her hand when he tried to convince her to believe him."You know it's solely your fault. Things got messy all because of you, Mark," ma'am Miguel accused, trying not to flare up at him. "I'm sorry, grandmother. I actually went over to see Laura to resolve this issue but…" ma'am Miguel shunned him again by lifting up her hand and she sent him away. She was stunned after hearing what Mark told her that Feran said. She sat in the living room and slidded into deep thoughts.She felt a pang of hatred for Feran and regretted why she hadn't take a serious action to cast him away from the family since he became a part of the family. While she was still in dero thoughts, a maidservant

    Feran wasn't impressed by grandmother's threat. A grin exposed her set of white teeth knowing how affected Feran was by her words which sounded like a threat to him."Grandmother, I know the risk of riling you but I'm not bent on doing that. I know you could do what you just said. But it would also cause you a great loss to Miguel family, your family. So, I'm sure you wouldn't just throw the deal with F.A Globe company to get back at Laura's family. I just want you to take Laura seriously, that's all. And if I offended you in any way, I'll apologize," Feran said. Ma'am Miguel's sudden grin became deeper. She knew Laura's parents weren't capable of thinking of any way to piss her off for their mere gratification and neither would they dare to pull off this shit, so it must all be Feran's idea. He is the brain box behind it.She decided not to say anything much but simply smiled and asked:"Where's my granddaughter, Laura?"At that moment, Feran's phone rang. It was Laura calling. He p

    "So, grandmother really came here?" Laura asked Feran in great astonishment when they got into their room after Feran and her parents had told her everything that happened in her absence. She still couldn't believe it all."Yes, Laura. She did. You shouldn't be this surprised. Remember I told she was likely to, right?" Feran said with a smile.Laura grinned and clasped her hands. She rolled her eyes and slumped on the bed feeling so happy. She felt her stomach churn in felicity and she went silent for a while, leaving Feran to stare at her."Feran, all your overhope just came to pass. You said Mark was going to come shd he did. Then grandmother…she actually came today. Your plan is working," Laura commented.Feran blushed. He was happy to see her this happy."You don't need to worry much onwards. Things will go well, Laura," Feran assured.Laura nodded. She arose and was about to walk up to Feran standing a meter away from the door to hug him when her mother, Mitchel walked in without

    Ma'am Miguel was a little thrilled too when she thought about the secret heir. She couldn't start imagining how much wealth the person who got the grandeur mansion. "Do you know the person who really bought the grandeur mansion?" Ma'am Miguel asked her son, Frank after he walked up to her when he was fine making the announcement. "Um…no, mother. The person who called and gave me the results just said it was an anonymous person that bought the house," Frank said."Mother, that person who bought the house, the anonymous one must be a representative of the Anderson family that sent those expensive gifts on your birthday party," Frank's sister said as she walked up to ma'am Miguel's seat."Thar Anderson family," ma'am Miguel said and paused. She squinted and tilted her head. "I don't really know much about that company. Why haven't I been informed about their tremendous reputation all this while?" She asked, feigning annoyance. "Well they've just been on a low key all this while. But I

    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…. Jeana and Feran.'A drop of tears rolled down Laura's cheek and Mitchel was surprised when she lifted up her head, Laura chuckled and sniffed."I can't believe they would wish me well and send flowers to me. 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.

    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
