"Life has become hell for us ever since they decided to end us right in this prison. Don't you think we're finished? We might not have any chances to avenge anymore," Renee said to Thomas during their break.Thomas sighed, his eyes filled with determination. "I am not giving up on Lucas. He should hold my father down; I don't care. What I know and will always do is keep my eye focused on what I know most about him."Renee nodded, her resolve hardening. "You're right. We can't give up now. We've come too far to let them win."As they continued their conversation, the little time they had together became a moment of solidarity. They shared stories of their past, their hopes, and their fears. Despite the dire situation, they found strength in each other's company."We have to stay strong, Thomas," Renee said, her voice steady. "Lucas may be a billionaire, but he's not invincible. We need to find his weaknesses and use them to our advantage."Thomas agreed, a spark of hope igniting in his
Mr. Liam and Dickson were released, and upon that, Dickson visited his son. "I am just tired of what is happening. I think there is a lot more to this. Lucas seems to have more power than everyone. The worst part is that the company has been seized by him," Dickson said to his son."What? Father, what do you mean by that? You should know how much we have contributed to the company's growth," Thomas asked."You don't need to explain that to me. I know what we have gone through, but someone greater than us has decided to seize it all," Dickson answered."That would be horrible. I won't allow Lucas to have the company. It's the only thing I can boast of as my inheritance," Thomas replied with strong feelings."Your freedom is the first priority here. Let's get you out of this place; that's the only way you can fight back," Dickson spoke firmly.They continued to argue passionately until Dickson reminded Thomas of the duration he had to spend in prison. The reminder brought a heavy silenc
Lucas and Renee, his wife, were to attend Renee's father's 50th birthday that's to take place in a month's interval, and its preparation was ongoing. Now Lucas and Renee sat down to discuss it."It will be my dad's 50th birthday soon. What exactly do you have for him.?" She asked Lucas, expecting to hear from him.Lucas scratched his cheek and answered."The little I can do is what I will present." He said to her,Renee became so angry that she had to remind him of his situation."What have you ever contributed to the family and been appreciated for? Nothing, due to your poor state of life." She paused and continued."I regretted making you my husband, and so did the family regret making you their son-in-law." She scolded him.Lucas shocked his head as he felt the pain. "Why, then, do you fall in love with me? You were so desperate to be my wife even when you knew that I was your parents' cook, and yet you found me worthy of being your husband." He replied to her."Listen, Lucas, I do
While Lucas was carried away with the action displayed in the sitting room by Renee and Xavier, he forgot that he was preparing a meal. And when it occurred to his memory, Lucas opened his mouth widely."My God!" Lucas alerts himself bitterly, with tears almost dropping from his eyes. Lucas ran into the kitchen upon getting the food opened."It is burnt food," Lucas said to himself as soon as he turned off the gas cooker."Did you let the food burn?" Joycelyn and co-workers who had smelled the burning meal told him. Meanwhile, Xavier and Renee had been taking away the romantic touch at Renee's private restroom, which was far from the main sitting room."What exactly were you thinking when you let the food get burned?" Lina Renee, the chief domestic worker, asked.Lucas remained silent and kept staring at the meal."You should think of what to offer the moment she demands it." Lina said to him, disrespectfully."You know what to do." She said that to him and left. Unfortunately, as Lin
Lucas waited aggressively until the end of the day."You were supposed at the restaurant cooking, what then are you doing here ?" You are relaxing, thinking that restaurant is for fashion."Renee scolded Lucas again as she combed her hair. Lucas, on the other hand, stood, and with his hands crossed on each other, he replied to her."My heart has been bleeding; I have been in pain all through the night." He replied."Then call for the family doctor, perhaps use the clinic, and make sure there are many records of sale today." Renee answered him disrespectfully."You actually cheated on me." He said this to her with tears in his eyes."Are you being serious? It hurts you.?" She asked him, smiling. Lucas focused on her, butting his lips."My darling, if you don't want the marriage, I will serve you divorce papers." She threatened Lucas with that."Is it a promise or threat.?" He asked her."When have I started threatening you? This is a promise. You aren't worth a beautiful and wealthy la
Mr. Liam, still in the car, kept murmuring."What a lazy son-in-law he is.? I will deal with him; I will make sure he gets to know where he belongs in the family." Mr. Liam concluded that he kept watching his cell phone, expecting Lucas to call.However, Mr. Liam got home in such a mood that, while entering the sitting room, Isabella, his beautiful wife, observed his mood."Not even a kiss." She said to him,"That son-in-law of yours has been a bone in my neck." He replied to Isabella, who drew closer to him.Mr. Liam demanded a glass of juice from the house keeper.which was served to him, he sipped and dropped it on the table."I decided to check on the newly renovated restaurant of ours, only to be told by the manager that Lucas hasn't resumed work due to a shortage of food." He complained."What exactly is wrong with that boy? Have you been told that he is not met or relaxed, not even once?" Isabella said. "He has to be cautious, and I will do that myself." She added."If he had k
After the business of the day, the weather started becoming dark, and the stars shines on the sky. It was Lucas time to return home."I am done with the business for the day." He said this to Sherman as he got his phone ready to leave. Sherman stared at him and said, "I have to leave before you.""You were supposed to leave before now, but you chose to stay; how does that concern me.?" Lucas asked so desperately."I have to leave before you; that's the rule." Sherman pointed at him.Lucas tried ignoring him, so he made a step to leave. "Consider yourself sacked from work if you dare leave before me." Sherman added.Lucas returned back, looking so sad, and said to him, "Really, you have decided to use this as a threat to me. This isn't the first time you made mention of "I will be fired." "What exactly do you gain from that.?"Sherman stood from his seat, and without saying much, he replied to Lucas. "Come along with my briefcase." Sherman, after this, wore his cot and had his hat on h
Lucas was still nursing his pain when Renee came out."You are still sitting here?" Renee asked him aggressively. "Get us two glasses of wine, and do that quickly." She instructed him. Lucas, lifting his eye on her, said:."You have turned me into a messenger.""You don't have a specific job in this house." She pointed at him. "You expect me to ask Lina to do so, or who, while I have you around. Do just as you have been instructed." She added, and she lifted even after hissing at him. She got to the room and leaned her head on Xavier's lap."Has he got to get it.?" He asked Renee."It will soon be served." She answered him.Five minutes later, Lucas knocked at the door."Come in, please; the door is open." Renee answered. Lucas has the glass of wine on the wine carrier. Renee said. "Bring it here."Lucas reluctantly brought it closer to them.Renee stretches her thumb as a lever and anchors the base to her folded index finger, as does Lucas, as they lift the glass each at once."You c
