Marcus stepped inside the house, his mind preoccupied with the task at hand: keeping an eye on Ivy. It was crucial now, more than ever, given the revelations about her powers, to keep them away from everyone, including Hazel. He will need to be vigilant; he must ensure her safety at all costs.It was the following, and Hazel insisted on personally taking Ivy to school.Ivy, on the other hand, was full of smiles seeing her mother wake up early today, not going to work but taking her to school. It was something she has always wanted, and she is getting it now. Ivy walked closer to Ivy and hugged her. “Mommy, thank you. I know you're worried, but everything will be fine that –.”Hazel immediately interrupted Ivy because she wanted to mention Marilyn, which she doesn't want Marcus to know Ivy told her or that she knows anything. It's a fight between ladies, and she can handle this herself.She didn't want Marcus to come into contact with Marilyn and for the few days she would be restin
After a rigorous training session with Tyler, Marcus felt an electrifying surge coursing through his veins, an inexplicable power bubbling up from within. As Tyler imparted his wisdom, Marcus absorbed it like a sponge, each word igniting a spark of newfound confidence within him without being told he now feels he can take care of everything himself; he doesn't need to be afraid of anything now, with a satisfactory look on his face he Utters.“Mr. Tyler, you're truly amazing. Just one training session, and I feel like I can do anything now. It's remarkable, and I love it. My body feels light, like a feather.”Marcus exclaimed, awe evident in his voice. He wasn't expecting it to be this quick and easy.Tyler's response was a simple smile, reflecting the pride with which he felt Marcus had progressed. He's a fast learner. “Young master, I didn't do much. You're a fast learner. That's how you were able to grasp all of this so quickly. All you need now is to control your breathing, and y
Penelope emerged from her hiding spot, her face a mask of frustration and disbelief. As she confronted David about Marcus's refusal to cooperate, her expression twisted with anger and disappointment, knowing David didn't do enough to support his stand; he just allowed the bastard to walk away freely. “This isn't acceptable.” She declared vehemently, her voice edged with urgency. “The little boy is becoming something else, and we need to break his wings; it can't continue like this anymore.”David, sensing Penelope's agitation, nodded in reluctant agreement. Deep down, he harbored his own thoughts about Marcus, unable to shake the feeling of unease that had settled over him when he was talking with Marcus, and for some time now, something had changed about Marcus. He seemed like a different person, despite his misleading appearance. Something isn't right about him.David was forced to say it out loud.“Something about Marcus has changed a lot; are you not noticing anything?”David
David's eyes widened in surprise at that moment. Penelope knows Hazel would be mad at them if they do this, but why would she think of such a thing? David immediately shakes his head and knows what Penelope can do to him if she knows he wasn't with her on this. “No.. no why should I interrogate you and not wanting to support you; you know I believe in you, just that I'm just worried about how Hazel would react to that.” Penelope's deadly gaze was still focused on David. “You better not back away because of Hazel. If that is your fear, then we'll have to create something that would make her not get mad, and Ivy can help us with that David. We can't afford to let this slip through our fingers. Our future depends on it.” David nods. He can't say no at this point, but to obey, he will just tell Hazel himself without allowing Penelope to know. “I'll do whatever it takes, Penelope. Even if it means playing dirty.” Penelope nods, but she doesn't believe David because she knows how usel
At that moment, Penelope's smile was a delicate dance of persuasion and anticipation painted across her face like a watercolor masterpiece. She knew Ivy wouldn't be difficult to convince. Her eyes, gleaming with excitement, locked onto Ivy's, searching for the slightest hint of agreement in Ivy's face. It seems both of them are on the same page. Children don't have emotions; they can easily forgive someone not like adults. However, beneath the surface, there was a flicker of calculation, a subtle shift in her demeanor as she leaned in closer, her expression morphing into ivy If she succeeds in changing her mind and she accepts to do it, what if she wasn't able to convince Hazel and Marcus? Penelope was lost in thought; however, she knew that can't help her; now she needs to first get Ivy to her side.With a voice soothing as a gentle breeze, Penelope spoke, each word carrying the weight of her clear intentions; she wanted Ivy to understand every bit of them. “Do you want Wesley to s
Penelope recoiled as if she was struck by a car, her face contorted with disbelief; she couldn't believe Ivy would say such words to her when she asked her to forgive Wesley, But now she had started attacking her. However, Penelope decided to correct Ivy so she wouldn't allow her to accuse her wrongly. She needs to defend herself against Ivy's damning words.“Ivy, why would you say such words towards your grandmother? Don't you know you just insulted me?” However, Ivy pressed on, her accusations relentless.“You think I don't know?” Ivy continued, her voice rising with each word. “I've seen it in your eyes, in the way you smile when you think no one is watching. You're wicked, and you've been lying to me; you think I wouldn't know about it.”Penelope's shock gave way to a desperate attempt to salvage the situation. She needs to deny Ivy's accusations and restore her own tarnished reputation. A little child can't read her correctly this easily. Could it be she knows she was lying
David's cheeks raised, almost covering his eyes as he saw the devastating look on Penelope's face. What Ivy said to her truly hit her, and she is having a rethink about her behavior recently, which is good. Ivy deserves something for saying the truth to her.However, David decided to walk away and allow Penelope to think about herself.Penelope at that moment shook her head again. She was disappointed in herself just because of the money. She forgot about everything Wesley did to Hazel and Ivy; he almost destroyed their lives, and she was busy looking down on that. She couldn't believe she had come back here again after she made her decision to allow Wesley to pay for his crimes. But she came back here, but this time it might cost her something if Ivy tell her mother she might take action, and she wouldn't blame her. Her grandmother is too selfish.She brought her phone out immediately, wanting to call Lady Charlotte. She can't do it anymore.*Kane's expression shifted abruptly, disb
Kane's expression contorted in shock and disbelief as the words tumbled from his mother's lips. He struggled to comprehend the enormity of what she had just revealed, that she had been aware of Hazel's affair all along, and she did nothing to contain her. The realization hit him like a sledgehammer, shattering his illusions and leaving him angry at her mother, whom he was disappointed in for keeping quiet about all of this because of the contract she managed to get.“Mother, how could you?” Kane's voice trembled with a mixture of anger and betrayal as he confronted Lady Charlotte, his eyes blazing with accusation. “You knew about Hazel's affair, and yet you chose to remain silent? You allowed her to manipulate us, thinking she got the contract herself, and you gave her some of the company shares because of that. You allowed her to use her illicit relationship against us. How could you stand by and watch as she played us for fools? Now look at what it has landed us.”Lady Charlotte,
