Others’ attention quickly gathered towards Gary and the salesgirl, and they heard some murmurs around them, which made Gary smirk,

Why is he still acting headstrong when he can’t afford the jacket?”

Some woman mused as she stared at Gary, shaking her head in disapproval.

“Seriously, can’t he just take a hint? Why can’t he understand that it’s not good to act so arrogantly when he doesn’t have the money for any of these clothes?” A guy scoffed as he eyed the jacket in Gary’s hands.

Hardening his face, a fellow met Gary’s eyes, and then his face deepened into a scowl, his eyebrows furrowed over his blue eyes, and he mumbled, “You are that guy from that family in North Hill." He paused trying to remember the name of the family.

Then, he said, "The Larsons… You actually cheated and then you left without apologising. And now that the daughter is in a better place, you want a come back."

That and many other rumours kept going around, not until Ryan whispered and said. "Well, it seems like

    They went into another store. Upon their entry, along with his friends, he took a while to cast a glance around, but then, there were sharp eyes glued to them.It was as though the incidence of the former store had spread all around.However, for a while, Gary stared into this stranger’s eyes, both of them holding back their tongue. and their expression is unreadable as if they were having a standoff.“Wow, if I didn’t watch the news, I would have never believed a man of such aura and vital presence was the useless house-husband of Miss Sandra.” "Who at all let him into this country?" The stranger broke the silence by looking at Gary with interest as though he was examining a priceless gem.Yet, Gary felt disinterested in whatever this guy had to say, so he simply ignored him and kept on staring at the woman standing in front of them.So, about your manager…” Gary asked, looking at the woman in a composed manner. “When I thought you couldn’t get any intriguing, you prove me wrong

    A faint blush crept across Fallon’s cheekbones as she lowered her head, clearly embarrassed by what she was about to ask.Yes?” Gary prompted, sensing her unease."Could I work with you?” Fallon finally asked timidly. “I mean if you… Umm… after you establish your company…"It grew quiet for a moment until she couldn’t bear it anymore. She lifted her head, and her eyes unintentionally locked with Gary’s gaze before he focused on the road."I mean can I have a space in your company sir?""Just because we are getting a bit close, you think that is a way for you to take advantage of it and use me for your benefit,” Gary replied coldly, not bothering to hide the irritation and disgust in his voice.Feeling confused, Fallon chuckled out in surprise, tilting her head to the side, mumbling,” Wait, what?!”"Don’t act dumb and naive,” Gary retorted "That was uncalled for!”"Was it?!”Yes!”The tension in the car grew thicker as Fallon looked away from Gary in embarrassment, feeling a little hu

    Gary was still wondering what the whole drama was about. First of all, he wondered if Sandra came all the way from North Hill just to blackmail him and face Fallon?A girl he wasn't dating.His thoughts were suddenly broken by an interruption from Fallon's mom.Her weak voice projected and said. "My daughter isn't a whore. Please leave us alone.""I'll get back at you Gary." She immediately turned and left, closing the door with a huge hit.The hospital room was filled with silence once the doors to the room closed. Then Gary turned to look at Fallon, asking, “Are you okay?” “Yeah… Yeah, I am fine.” Fallon muttered, crossing her arms across her chest, lowering her eyes to the ground, and sighing softly. “I’m sorry…”“For what?” Gary asked, tilting his head slightly to the side.“For being like that… my mother's health issues. It seemed like I held you down with it.” Fallon murmured, clenching her teeth together and averting her eyes away from him. “When you start fighting for your r

    The sorrow of a mother’s desperate plea was something Gary had never experienced before, and he was not sure how to respond at this point.The look on her face showed pain and concern, as well as desperation, and Gary knew even though he wanted no burden of such responsibility since his entire focus was on his wife, rising to power and having his revenge, he couldn’t say no and be the bad guy when this woman, who had lost so much, was on her knees, begging him to save her daughter. ‘This mother and daughter know how to push every single nerve ending of mine.’ Gary thought as a tear rolled down her’s cheek. ‘But… I guess I will have to put all the hard feelings aside because Fallon does need help… and do everything in my power to make sure she stays safe, at least for now.’ Smiling weakly at her, he gently grabbed both her arms and said, “Please stand up first.Although she looked reluctant, she obeyed and stood up slowly.Once she managed to stand straight, Gary sighed and said, “I

    Looking at the worry in his men’s expressions, Gary felt a bit dumbfounded that they were staring at him like that, and he rubbed a hand across his face tiredly and mumbled, “What is it? Well… you just knock the shit outta some dude,” Ryan said hesitantly, eyeing the others to back him up. “How did you guys know about that?” Gary frowned, glancing between the four of them. Slowly, Ryan looked over at James, raising his brows with a curious look plastered across his face, making James sigh before facing Gary. “The clip is all over the internet.” He said calmly. “And we are confused because there’s no extra information about what led to the punch.” “Well, he insulted my mother, calling me a son of a bitch… My mom is no, bitch.” Gary snapped, clenching and unclenching his fists in anger, feeling his breathing quicken with rage. Staring in disbelief, Ryan muttered beneath his breath, “Shit, he had that one coming and deserved it… Well, more than a punch.” The room was quiet for a m

    Gradually the fun was becoming a bore for the trio, with the current occurrence. But then, they had checked out of the hotel, and James had taken everyone to his mansion.Including Fallon and her mom.However, he loved cooking, he thought of making a surprise meal for everyone, before they at least some up.James was in a nearby shopping mall a few blocks from the hotel, and as he was staring at the cabbages and vegetables that lined the shelves around him, he couldn’t help listening to the two ladies gossiping beside him. “Did you see this morning’s news?” A brunette woman asked excitedly. “Of course, I saw it. I thought news about their divorce was going to be the craziest thing we would get, but it just keeps getting worse! He and her cousin… like that’s just so messed up!” A blonde lady exclaimed, throwing her free hand in the air. Wondering what the heck they were talking about, he shook his head and put the cabbage into his basket before moving to the next shelf and grabbing a

    Outside the apartment was crowded with even more reporters and news crews as the seconds turned into minutes, and no one seemed willing to give up and leave. In the dining hall, Gary, Fallon, Ryan, Mrs Gilbert, and James sat around the table, in silence, eating their breakfast, and occasionally stealing glances at each other. When Fallon looked at her mother, she could tell that she was getting increasingly concerned, and she looked over at Gary, looking away from his eyes when he caught her stare. “Do you still have Sandra’s number?” Fallon said after a few moments had passed, her voice low. Raising his gaze, Gary fixed his eyes on her, but she refused to meet his stare. Taking a deep breath, Gary took a long look at her and asked, “Why do you need it?” “To end this nightmare,” Fallon muttered, her eyes glued to the table. Everyone’s gaze was now focused on her as her mother asked, her voice filled with uncertainty, “What are you talking about now?” Slowly, Fallon lifted her h

    “Get off the premises! Now! Get in your car and drive off!” A guy in a police uniform with a megaphone shouted at the reporters. Some of the news crew were still confused while others were already driving off because they were afraid to get arrested for trespassing or get removed by intense force. “Why is the chief constable here… Isn’t Gary just a nobody?” A journalist whispered as the cameraman packed up their equipment. “Maybe it’s Fallon. She's Hayes… after all, and her family name is quite powerful.” The cameraman said. “You think? I thought after her father got kicked out of the Hayes Family house, they lost the right to such power and influence.” “She shares a bloodline with Henry Hayes. Of course, the power and influence are still there… if she knows how to harvest it.” “Will her step-grandma even allow her to do that? I heard Mr. Hayes’s will has never been read, and his lawyer was never given the go-ahead from his mistress to read what his dying intentions were.” Afte

    The door to the lobby finally opened, and Mr. Bamford walked in with twelve police officers following closely behind him.Silence completely took over the lobby of the building and only the sound of their boots could be heard hitting the tiles as they walked over to where Gary was.The tears in Fallon’s eyes immediately stopped, and a sense of confusion flooded every part of her mind as her eyes followed the officers until they stood in front of her husband and the other five officers."Chief! What are you doing here?” One of the five officers asked with worry evident in his voice. The other four looked just as confused as him, and fear started creeping its way on their faces after the chief didn’t reply immediately.Meeting Gary’s eyes and his bloodstained nose, Mr. Bamford frowned, dragging his gaze down to Gary’s hands locked behind his back, and said, “Uncuff him now!”The firmness in his tone caused Fallon’s eyes to widen with a shocked expression, she opened her mouth, but no wo

    The anger that ate at Gary slowly faded, and he looked back to see his wife staring calmly at him, and yet, he couldn‘t stop caring for what she was thinking at that moment about him.Sighing, Gary looked back at Kyle and scoffed, letting go of his collar, causing his back to hit the tile, and a cry escaped his throat.Kyle lay on the floor, holding his chest, crying and moaning, shaking his head as he tried desperately to hold in his sobbing, the room became so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could‘ve been heard.Everyone was shocked by what was happening in the lobby, and Ciara‘s hands were trembling as she tried to remember the police number, her mind a mess.“Ciara! Have you called the police yet?!” Kyle cried in rage as the pain from his face intensified because of the volume of his voice, and he moaned out, “Ciara!”“Yes sir, I‘m sorry sir, um, I need help here...” Ciara stammered with a shaky tone.“What help?”“Umm… What‘s the police number?”“What the hell, Ciara!!”His sw

    As the security guards approached Gary and the others, Tom calmly took out a file from his briefcase and looked back at Kyle and the investors.“Well, I am a lawyer with a couple of degrees, including Doctor of Juridical Science degree, and this is a valid will that both Mr. Larsons and the law enforcement officials‘ signatures are on, which proves everything that Fallon has told you guys, that this company is now under her management,” Tom explained calmly, taking out the document and showing it to the investors.“I have worked with Morgan before, and that is definitely his signature on this paper. He‘s a man of honor, and so am I,” Mr. Walker immediately stated, glaring at Kyle.The security reached the scene but immediately stopped out of confusion, seeing that no one was attacking Kyle and just stood there looking at each other.“It could be a fraud! Who knows...” Kyle answered, shrugging nonchalantly.“But we do know. You just blurted out that you thought the will got destroyed a

    Gazing intensely into the bathroom mirror, Gary reached for his toothbrush but then paused as a memory of Lawyers Morgans‘ words kept replaying in his head, the looks on his face when he said those words, and the way his body reacted a bit nervously to question about the will.Immediately, he grabbed his phone off the sink and scrolled for Tom‘s number until he got to it, dialing it.After ringing his number, the call got answered and Tom‘s voice popped up through the speaker, “Good morning, Boss...”“I need us to discuss something important later on today," Gary said as he watched the bathroom door reflection in the mirror slowly pushed open, and Fallon popped her head inside. Thankfully, he was tying a towel around his waist.“I'll be on my way then."“Good, we will wait on you guys before we leave, so be here by nine.”Wondering who her he was talking to so seriously at seven in the morning, Fallon reached her hands around his waist and kissed his bare back, resting her head flat a

    A look of fear entered Morgan’ eyes, his expression twisting with anxiety, terror, and helplessness as he and Gary continued to stare at each other. “Which will?” Mr. Morgan finally questioned. “The will that Mr. Larson left Fallon,” Gary stated plainly, averting his gaze to stare straight into the old man’s eyes, daring him to try and lie.“Whi-cho-ne…?” Mr. Morgan murmured, barely audible for anyone to hear.Then he saw Gary’s brows furrowing, and he knew that he was getting impatient as his eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly in his chair.“Don’t act like a dummy with me… speak louder.” Gary uttered in a stiff tone.Immediately, Morgan’ face turned pale, his body tensing, and then his eyes widened as he blurted out, “Oooh! Oh!! Do you mean the will Alora gave Fallon the night of Mr. Larson’s death anniversary party?!”“Is there another will for Fallon?” Gary asked as he raised his eyebrows.“No! No… no… I was just scared and my mind took its time to process everything.”

    The words that Gary said to Jeremy never left Fallon’s thoughts, even though the morning was now evening, and Gary was sleeping.Adjusting her head on his warm chest, Fallon looked at him, just staring, allowing her thoughts to run wild in her head, as she listened to his heart beating, feeling his chest rise and falling, listening to his breathing.‘What package were you talking about?’ Fallon wondered as she bit her lower lip, thinking furiously.All of a sudden, she heard his phone go off, causing Garyto shift slightly on the bed, hugging onto her waist tightly, and burying his face deeper into her neck “Gary, your phone,” Fallon whispered, feeling reluctant to wake him and yet, also wanting an answer.“Hmm…” He mumbled sleepily, his voice barely audible.“Your phone…,” Fallon repeated, her tone a lot louder than a few minutes ago as she tried again to shake him awake.Finally, Gary opened his eyes, blinking slowly for several seconds. After a few more seconds he seemed to register

    Anger immediately started to rise inside of her as Fallon glared at Alora with a look of pure hatred, and without even realising it, she blurted. “Grandpa left that company for me, and you can’t just take what he gave to me away!” A faint chuckle escaped Alora’s throat as she gazed down at her granddaughter, before she replied. “Oh yes, I can… you know, I thought you were getting married to this… this human being because you want to own something in this family and be a part of us…” A pause followed her words as she watched Fallon’s eyes for a sign of fear and submission and when she saw a slight flicker of emotion in her step granddaughter’s eyes, she smiled, knowing that she managed to hit Fallon’s weak spot. “I will not tolerate the disrespect I am seeing from you, Fallon, and since that’s how you want to behave, I am taking this opportunity to let you know you aren’t fit to take over any of the family business. I don’t need an arrogant, selfish, and prideful woman who does not

    The dull morning light in her face with her body wrapped into Gary’s arms, Fallon just stared at him, his lashes, the details of his lips, unable to look away. Her hand rested on his cheek, and looked at his shut eyes, stroking his skin lightly as she felt her breathing become slow and steady. “I know it was just nonsense that she said, but I still can’t get her words out of my head…” Fallon whispered, leaning in closer until there were no more inches between them, their breaths mingling together. “What can’t you get out of your head?” Gary asked, his voice low and soothing as his eyelids slowly opened.Not expecting him to even be awake, Fallon froze, trying desperately to think of something, anything because she didn’t want to tell him about the conversation between Sandra and her.“Nothing,” Fallon quickly replied, pulling her face back, feeling a heat rise to her cheeks. “It’s nothing. You should go back to sleep. Yesterday was hectic, and my crying kept you up late.” “Fallon,
