While Tom drove the car in silence, he looked back at Gary, staring out the opened passenger window, and then he mumbled, “I know you don’t talk a lot about your marriage to Sandra, but I think your choice of leaving that family is very good…"

“You will think those words twice after being with a manipulative, twisted psychopath who is willing to do anything to get what she wants,” Gary mumbled, not taking his eyes off the scenery. “Women know the power that they have… They use it like a weapon. They know how to wield it, to control it. To get them what they want.”

Sighing, Tom turned around and looked at him for a second, seeing the pain reflected in his brown eyes as he said this before looking back at the road ahead, mumbling, “Not all of them are like that.”

“I know. And I am hoping for Laura to remain as Laura. And then Fallon herself… Hopefully she doesn't fuck up trying to sabotage my marriage, cause I wont think it twice…" Gary mumbled, pausing as he stared at a store and then

    Even though the atmosphere of the Larson mansion was calm, their expressions as the family sat around the table were anything but peaceful.Slowly, Alora set her glass down, then looked up from her plate at everyone else sitting with her, when she spotted Raphael's lady, she said.“Hey honey… It’s been a while since you have stopped by the mansion… I hope your father is not still mad at Raphael.” Alora said calmly.“Well,” she mumbled, holding back her words.“If he is, we can try to explain it to him and make amends. But in all honesty, Raphael really didn’t know that Gary was in a gang and had so many men to his name, you know? It wasn’t like Raphael knew what he did for a living… He didn’t know he was a thug.”“The thing is,”A nervous look crossed her face as she darted glances around the table and back to Alora letting out, “My dad is still upset… I tried talking to him, but he wouldn’t listen to anything that has Raphael’s name in it.”There was a brief pause as she remembered h

    With a scowl on her face, Sandra turned around to look at Fallon, and then she looked over at Tom, a few distances away from them, standing close to the wall, his back resting against the concrete, his arms crossed tightly over his chest.“Who is he?” Sandra asked her tone hard, making it evident that she wasn’t letting this go easily.Knowing that the only reason she and Gary were here was that that was what her mother wanted, Fallon tried not to show anything on her face, trying her best to keep her emotions hidden.“He’s Gary’s friend,” Fallon answered after taking a deep breath and calming her raging mind. “Gary has a friend?” Sandra scoffed in confusion, raising an eyebrow at Fallon before glaring at Tom.“What do you want, Sandra?”“Gary,” Silence fell over them, Fallon holding her gaze straight ahead as Sandra stared angrily at her, waiting for an answer, only finding it odd when Fallon kept silent with an unreadable expression.“I want Gary back… After all, I was married to h

    Gazing calmly at her reflection in the mirror, Fallon just stared, trying to find words to describe what she was feeling as she smiled softly, whispering, “I’m getting married…” she totally forgot it was a marriage with no root, but the fact that at least, she would be getting married to the man she long loved, she couldn't stop blushing.Many mixed emotions were running through her mind, and some of them seemed a little too loud for her to be silent, but she was happy, ecstatic even.For so long, it felt like this would be a day that would never come, marrying Gary was something she never really thought would happen, but here she was, about to wed him.“Why am I so shaky?” She giggled out nervously, not knowing how to handle the rush of emotions flowing through her as her heartbeat raised. “Fallon, honey,” Mrs Gilbert’s sudden voice echoed from outside her bedroom door, causing her to flinch slightly. “Can I come in?”“Yes, mom,” Fallon called out, looking back at her door frame.A

    As Fallon's hair was getting done, and her face touched up with makeup, Fallon kept telling herself to breathe, and knowing that Gary was waiting on her at the altar made her less afraid.“Mom, what time is it?'” Fallon asked, her eyes closed as the lady brushed a soft peach-coloured eyeshadow on her eyelids.“1 pm dear,” Mrs Gilbert said with a smile, and yet, tears stained her face, feeling overwhelmed by her daughter becoming a bride before her eyes, and every stage of Fallon growing up from an infant to a woman kept playing in her head. “The wedding starts at three… do you think we will be late?”“No, honey. The drive to the ceremony is not that long.”Pulling her hand away from Fallon’s face, the makeup artist smiled and said, “Well, the bride is ready to get dressed.”Slowly, Fallon opened her eyes to see her reflection staring back, and her lips pulled upward into a soft smile.“You look beautiful, honey.” Mrs Gilbert whispered as Fallon stood from the chair. “Thanks… can you

    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.

    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.”
