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. She ensured the patient received the appropriate medications and checked on them daily to monitor their progress. However, there was an unfortunate incident that interrupted her responsibilities—the time she was kidnapped."

Immediately, the accusing Lawyer rose and said. "Objection, my lord!"

    The courtroom buzzed with anticipation as Jeffrey, Laura's defence attorney, stood confidently before the judge."Your Honor, I would like to call someone of utmost importance to the witness box. 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. Finally, curiosity getting the better of him, he nodded his agreement."Very well, Mr. Jeffrey. Call in the witness, but make it quick. Time isn't a friend.""Yes, your honour." Jeferrey respond

    Gary stood amidst the commotion, his gaze fixed on Raphael, a notorious bully who had threatened to unleash his henchmen on him.Raphael sneered, his henchmen looming behind him like a dark cloud ready to burst. "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. Reluctantly, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing the strength beneath his taut skin. He had been ready to unleash

    Gary, still taken aback by the mysterious voice, he turned his head towards the sound and was surprised to see James, his old friend from college, sitting in the seat next to him. 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! It's been ages! I never thought I'd see you again, especially in the air. How have you been?""It's been ups and down, but you know, the usual corporate life. But right now, I'm heading to Mytopia for an important meeting. What about you? Where are you off to?"Smiles never cease to leave his lips, before he said. "Funny you should ask. I'm actually on my way to Mytopia too. My company is about to sign our first major contract, and

    Scratching the back of his hair, Gary walked towards the face basin, grabbed toothpaste and toothbrush, squeezing the paste onto the brush before beginning to scrape his teeth. His thoughts subconsciously drifted back to yesterday, the moment he and Fallon hugged, and he spat into the sink before rinsing his mouth out. “Maybe I have been going about this the wrong way,” Gary mumbled as he unbuttoned his shirt slowly. After getting to the last button, he scowled and muttered, “I need someone that knows South Hill … But can I trust Fallon?” Pulling his shirt off his shoulders, Gary took in a deep breath and eyed her reflection in the mirror."Since he entered South Hill , he never really had the chance to explore the country because he was busy trying to muddle up things in the company. "Many more responsibilities as you grow richer. He mumbled to himself before the mirror." But now, he really needed to start learning his way around the country, and his first option was Fallon, but

    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 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,
