After the intimacy, both Gary and Laura lay tangled in each other's arms, their breathing slowly returning to normal.

The sheets were ruffled, evidence of their passionate lovemaking. Laura, still catching her breath, smiled at Gary.

After which she whispered and said to him, "That was amazing, babe."

He in turn smiled and said. "You're incredible, Laura."

Laura untangled herself from his embrace and sat up, her naked form highlighted by the soft glow of the bedside lamp.

"I'm going to freshen up in the restroom. I'll be back in a minute." Laura said.

Gary watched her lovingly as she gracefully got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. Just as she reached the door, Gary's phone rang, startling him. He quickly reached for it on the nightstand.

With an unknown number displayed, he picked and said. "Hello?"

"Mr. Carter, please, can we meet urgently?" The voice turned out to be Mr Taylor's voice.

Gary's brows furrowed, sensing the urgency in his tone.

He felt slightly concerned an

She reached the door marked "Dr. Collins" and gently knocked before entering.As Laura stepped into the spacious office, she noticed Dr. Collins sitting behind his desk, engrossed in scribbling on a sheet of paper. He looked up and met her gaze with a warm smile."Ah, Laura, please come in," Dr. Collins said, gesturing towards a chair on the other side of his desk. "Have a seat, won't you?"Laura gratefully accepted the offer, settling into the chair, but her nerves intensified as she realised that this meeting held a more serious purpose than she had initially assumed.Taking a deep breath, Laura finally broke the silence. "Dr. Collins, may I ask why you requested to see me? Is there something wrong?"Dr. Collins immediately ceased his scribbling and placed the pen down, his expression turning serious. "I'm afraid an allegation has been raised against you, Laura," he sa

    The office was tensed with an air of uncertainty. Laura sats on the edge of her seat, her face etched with worry, while Dr. Collins tried to maintain his composure behind his desk.Then suddenly, she spoke and said. "Dr Collins, there must be something we can do. I can't just let this court case ruin everything I've worked for. Tell me there's a way out of this."With a resolute tone, he responded. "Laura, I wish there was, but the evidence against you is damning. We have to face the reality of the situation. The only option is to proceed with legal measures and prepare for the worst-case scenario."Laura's eyes welled up with tears as she struggled to comprehend the magnitude of her situation."You know me, Dr Collins. You know the kind of person I am, the dedication I've shown to my research. There has to be something we can do to help me through this." she sounded barely audible."Laura, I understand your desperation, but we're dealing with legal matters now. It's beyond our contr

    Engrossed in the pain of having to face the law court for what she never did, Laura felt totally restless.From the bed, she moved to the couch, her brows furrowed with worry, as Gary stood before her, trying to ease her fears.Softly, he said. "Laura, I promise you'll win this case. Moreover, I'm prepared to have you win at all costs."Laura looked up at Gary, her expression still sour, her eyes filled with anxiety.Nervously, she said. "I know you've done everything you can, Gary. But what if something goes wrong? What if they find a loophole? I can't bear the thought of losing everything."Gary walked closer to Laura and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a comforting embrace. He gazed into her eyes, his voice steady and resolute."Do you trust me, Laura?" he said with a firm tone.Laura hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly."Yes, I trust you, Gary. I believe in you." Laura said.Gary in turn smiled warmly, a glimmer of determination in his eyes."Then leave it to

    The courtroom was abuzz with anticipation as Jeffrey prepared to defend her against the accusations. He stood tall, exuding confidence, and adjusted his suit before addressing the judge."Your Honor, esteemed members of the court, ladies and gentlemen, I rise today to defend my client, Laura, against these baseless accusations. It is my duty to present the truth and shed light on the events that transpired during the patient's treatment." Jeffery said" Proceed, Mr. Jeffrey." " Thank you, Your Honor. My client has been a dedicated and compassionate doctor throughout her career. She stayed by the patient's side throughout their recovery process, diligently attending to their needs.

Someone whose testimony could potentially change the course of this trial." Jeffrey said with confidence."And who might that be, Mr. Jeffrey?" The judge was quite inquisitive.With a raised eyebrow, he said. "I'll appreciate it, if the witness could be called in, your honour. It's a great impact on my client."The courtroom fell into a stunned silence. Laura, stood nervously at the defence table, looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. She never expected a witness, likewise, she wondered who the witness might be.The judge, a stern and impartial figure, contemplated Jeffrey's request for a moment.

"You think you can defy me, Gary? I've got men who would enjoy nothing more than beating you to a pulp."Already, several people from the courthouse were beginning to find interest in the feud which of course didn't go well with Laura.Gary's jaw clenched, and his muscles tightened. He took a step forward, ready to take on the bullies, but Laura reached out and grabbed his arm. Her voice quivered with desperation as she pleaded, "Gary, please! We can't afford to make a scene. The last thing we need is to end up on the news, and then my father will find out about the court issue."Gary's eyes flickered with fury, but he looked into Laura's pleading eyes and sighed.

Without thinking, Gary leaned forward and enthusiastically shook his hand, despite the fact that they were on a plane.With enthusiasm, Gary excitedly said. "James! I can't believe it's you! What are the odds of running into you here? I heard the voice, then I wondered who could possibly know my face."James immediately laughed and said. "Well, you do not cease being funny, Gary!

    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

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,
