After three days of staying at the hospital, and staying under extensive care. Gary was finally getting back in shape.He was still in bed, but then, he was suddenly awoken by the doctor's entry into his ward.His stethoscope was seen hanging around his neck and clipboard in his hand. However, Gary still lay in his bed as he watched the doctor check his pulse and then his temperature, writing down the readings on his clipboard."I believe you feel much better than before?" The doctor said after acknowledging that Gary was awake and greeting him."Well, I feel terribly weak, and it's as though my head pounds harder than before." Gary responded to the doctor honestly, and then the doctor said. "That's understandable. Mr Carter, you had a rough time some days ago, and your body finally needs to adjust to the new state of things," he dipped his hands into his pocket with a slight smile and then he said further."You need not worry much since there are signs of improvement aside from th
Gary couldn't hold his anger, he paced the room back and forth. Reading through the autopsy report of his beloved grandfather. The moment he finished reading the report, he felt a wave of anger and sadness wash over him. Someone had poisoned his grandfather, and Gary was determined to find out who was responsible."Steve," Gary called out to his butler. "I need you to do something for me.""Of course, sir," Steve replied, with all attention."I want you to find out who poisoned my grandfather and bring them to justice," Gary said firmly.Steve nodded without hesitation. "Consider it done, sir. I'll start investigating right away."With that, Steve left the room and immediately began his search. His first stop was the hospital where Gary's grandfather had passed away. He knew that if someone had poisoned the old man, it was likely that they had done it while he was in the hospital.The moment Steve arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the doctor who had overseen Gary's grandfat
Ariel was excited to see her friend, Sarah, who was also a nurse, as they had not seen each other in a while, hence she went to Gracefield hospital where Sarah served as a nurse.Upon her entry and sighting her friend, Sarah jolted In joy, then they hugged each other tightly before going towards the lunch area. Thankfully, Sarah was off duty already for the afternoon.However, while they ordered meals and were catching up on their lives and discussing work.However, a few minutes into their chats, Ariel's phone rang, and she quickly glanced at the caller ID before answering. However, she couldn't recognise who the number holder was.Instead, she naively picked the call, only to hear the voice on the other end which was not one she was expecting to hear. "I have another job for you," said a man's voice.Ariel was scared and dumbfounded, unsure of what to do. She quickly cut the call, hoping that the person would not call again. Her eyeballs constricted, flushed red while shrugging in
The next day, Ariel arrived at the restaurant with a small vial of poison in her pocket. She discreetly handed it to Sarah and gave her instructions on how to use it.However, Tom, the person Steve had put to watch over Ariel, suddenly sensed that something was wrong. He overheard all that was said and then he quickly called Steve."Steve, something is about to go down. There are more conspiracies against the young master." Tom urgently said.Meanwhile, Sarah and Ariel were completely unaware of what was happening. They finished their lunch and left the restaurant, still feeling pleased with themselves for successfully planning, while Sarah went to the hospital.Tom's call to Steve had sent a wave of panic through Steve's body. He had instructed Tom to keep an eye on Ariel and Sarah, but he had not expected things to go wrong so quickly. He had tried calling the hospital reception desk, but nobody was picking up. His fear had only escalated when he called Gary's phone, and he did not
Earlier before Steve's arrival, Gary felt a bit pressed and decided to make use of the restroom. However, since it was a VIP ward, the restroom was built right at the same spot with the room, even though it was a less popular hospital.He had gone into the toilet, only to spend more than usual moments due to a sudden throbbing headache.His phone had chimed severally from where it lay due to Steve's call, but then he couldn't get a hang of it while trying to make himself fit, by drowning his head in water.Nevertheless, the headache persisted, even after the numerous amounts of water.Only to get a hold of himself, leap to the ward and then find Steve with a worried look overshadowing his main look.Steve was about to explain how he had called severally, likewise Gary was about to tell how worse he felt, but just then, his vision went blurry.He felt dizzy and before he could vice out the next, he slumped straight to the ground without a second chance."Gary!" Steve exclaimed, rushing
EARLIER ON….After several discoveries made out of the lady who was involved with poisoning Gary's grandfather and also involved in poisoning Gary, Steve decided to take a new step.Arresting Ariel without concrete evidence isn't going to be good, but then he had to do something to find a way of showcasing evidence, and the only way by which he could do that was getting Ariel's phone.In the last few days, Tom had reported that it seemed Ariel was being blackmailed, hence Steve had therefore thought that he could a tislly get that with the aid of her phone.The only way he could legally do that was asking for help from the doctor, any other way would be counted as illegal acts.Hence, as early and quickly as possible, he visited the hospital. "Goodday, " Doctor Phillips." Steve said with a time that seemed to be anxious and sought for answers."It's nice having you once again here Mr Steve," Doctor Philips leaned back into his chair, left the work he was doing, crossed his hand agains
The moment Tom arrived with the phone, handed it over to Steve in his black SUV, parked at a restaurant close to the hospital.He disclosed to Steve that the doctor already said that Ariel has just an hour away from her phone, therefore anything that would. Be carried out on the phone should be between the spade of an hour."That's fair enough. One hour is enough to get whatever fact should be gotten from this phone." Steve said while flipping the phone."Yes boss, one hour is definately enough with the capacity of the IT teams. We could use that of the hospital."However, Steve sighed and said. "Good, I've already contacted the IT teams, but they're too busy to help us. Moreover, it isn't too safe to do something like this within the hospital. We can't tell that the information wouldn't travel wide."Tom nodded in assertion and then said. "What then do we do, Mr Steve? We've got less than an hour to go.""There's no need to panic. I've called a friend, Marcus, who is an expert in this
Meanwhile, Gary had been discharged from the hospital three days ago, but he was still weak and needed assistance with some of his daily activities. Hence Steve had moved in with him temporarily to help out with house chores and make sure Gary had everything he needed while he recovered.On this particular day, Gary was sitting in his living room, scrolling through his phone. He had already checked his emails, caught up on the news, and scrolled through social media, but nothing was holding his attention. He sighed, feeling bored and restless.He looked up and noticed Steve walking by. "Hey Steve," he called out.Immediately, Steve turned around and walked back to the living room. "Yes, sir?"Still gawking into his phone, he said with squinted brows, "How far have you gone with the case? I hope you know that my grandfather's death needs to be avenged as soon as possible."With his hands crossed behind, Steve raised and said. "I'll get it sorted out as soon as possible. Bur then, there

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,
