HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME FINDING THOMAS 2
With a steady hand, Gwen gestured towards the array of photos, her voice calm yet determined. "I need you to identify them, Nathan. We need to find out who Thomas is, who could be behind the attack."Nathan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the images as he searched for a familiar face. Each photograph held its own story, its own secrets waiting to be revealed.And then, amidst the sea of faces, Nathan's eyes alighted upon a figure he knew all too well—Thomas Downs. The memory of his encounter with him flooded back into his mind. He remembered how he beat him up during the taxi accident he was in. But Nathan had no idea that his name was Thomas."I know him." Nathan's voice was tinged with a mix of surprise and shock."We've crossed paths before."Gwen's brow furrowed in concern, her gaze probing as she sought to unravel the tangled web of Nathan's past."Could he be the one behind the attack?" she asked, her voice weighted with uncertainty.Nathan hesitated, his thoughts racing as he gr
HEIRS OF THE HIDDEN FLAME NEW MAID
***The morning sun cast a golden hue over the sprawling grounds of the Smith family mansion, where Gwen woke up to another day of luxury and responsibility. As she sipped her morning coffee in the grand dining hall, her phone rang, shattering the tranquil atmosphere.Gwen glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number, but something about it felt weird. With a sense of foreboding, she answered."Hello?" Gwen's voice was tentative; she had no idea who the caller was or what she was to expect."Gwen, it's Martha from the mansion staff," a somber voice replied on the other end. "I'm afraid I have some terrible news. One of our maids, Maria, she... she was found suffocated on the street this morning."Gwen's heart skipped a beat. Suffocated? On the street? The words echoed in her mind, refusing to make sense. Maria, a kind and diligent member of their household staff, was now gone, leaving behind a void that seemed impossible to fill. Because she has worked in their mansion for mo

"I thought I'd check in and make sure you were okay. You seem a bit... out of sorts."Karina's brow furrowed in confusion as she processed Alex's words, her mind racing to make sense of the situation. She knew that his explanation was plausible, that he could have stumbled upon her by chance in a city as bustling and chaotic as this. And yet, a part of her couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this than met the eye—more to Alex's intentions than he was letting on. But she was tipsy and couldn’t think properly.Before she could respond, however, Alex spoke again, his voice soft and reassuring. "Why don't you let me take you ho

"I... I don't remember," she admitted, her voice barely a whisper. "But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I need to know the truth, Alex. I need to know what really happened."Alex's heart sank as he watched the anguish etched on Karina's face, his own turmoil mirrored in her eyes. He reached out to her, his hand trembling with unspoken regret."Karina, please, believe me," he implored, his voice thick with emotion. "I would never hurt you. I would never do anything to make you feel violated or betrayed."

***Meanwhile, Alex and Karina were at a five-star restaurant; they were sitting behind a round table across from each other. Alex made sure to set the tone as he asked Karina to order anything she wanted to eat, which she did.Alex wanted to make his move any moment from now, and he hoped that Karina would take the bait and give him what he wanted. “Karina, you know I have been thinking of what we would use to win the bet against Nathan and Gwen Smith, and an idea came to mind. It might be an extreme idea, but I would like to know what you think about it."“Go ahead, tell me, what is the idea?”Alex knew that this was the right time to strike as he spoke. “The best is to see who would be able to achieve the most things in one month, so my idea is that you should hand over the ownership of your company to me, and that would enable me to win the bet once and for all. It would be impossible for Nathan and Gwen to catch up to that."Karina spat the drink in her mouth as she yelled. “What

"I just got a new one today."There was a moment of silence on the other end, the weight of Nathan's unspoken questions hanging in the air like a heavy fog."Did you... do you remember the conversation we had a few nights ago?" Nathan's voice was hesitant, almost cautious.Karina's breath caught in her throat as she now remembers everything, she spoke with Nathan on the phone that night. "Yes, but I was drunk that night," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I couldn't remember anything until I listened to the phone records today."A heavy silence settled between them, the weight of their unspoken words echoing in the space between them."And... did you mean everything you s
