“Have you seen what you’ve turned me into, Father? A ridicule before Lucas, whom I’m supposed to hold down as my man,” Renee demanded, her voice trembling with frustration.

Her father, his face flushed with anger, retorted, “Haven’t I told you before that you’ve lost your senses? How dare you barge into my sitting room like that! And is Lucas the only man on Earth?”

Renee’s eyes blazed with defiance. “You don’t understand, do you? Lucas is not just any man. He’s the one I love, the one I want to be with. But you, with your stubborn pride, have made me a laughingstock!”

Her father’s fists clenched at his sides. “Love? You call this love? It’s nothing but infatuation. You think you know what’s best for you, but you’re just a child, Renee!”

“I’m not a child!” Renee shouted, her voice echoing through the room. “I’m a grown woman, capable of making my own decisions. And I choose Lucas!”

“Over my dead body!” her father roared, stepping closer. “As long as you live under my roof, you will fo

    One day, during one of her visits, Xavier shared a new plan with Evelyn. “Evelyn, I need you to help me prove that I am a fit father. We need to gather evidence that shows I can provide a stable and loving home for my son.”Evelyn nodded, her resolve strengthening. “I will do whatever it takes, Xavier. We will fight this together.”They began working tirelessly, gathering character references, improving their home environment, and documenting every positive aspect of Xavier’s life. Evelyn even reached out to a lawyer who specialized in family law, hoping to build a strong case for Xavier.Meanwhile, Vera, who had initially been wary of Xavier’s intentions, began to see the genuine effort he was putting into proving himself. She started to reconsider her stance, realizing that perhaps Xavier truly wanted the best for their son.As the court date approached, tensions were high. Evelyn and Xavier stood side by side, ready to present their case. The courtroom was filled with anticipation

  • My Billionaire ex-husband   Justice and betrayal

    While Xavier and Renee remained in jail, Xavier demanded to speak with Renee during their break hour, but his request was ignored. Meanwhile, Vera’s heart grew heavier as she thought about how to help Xavier. “Yes, he was my husband, the same man I have this son with. But I began to hate him the very day he betrayed me,” she confided in Jessica, Lucas’s lawyer.“Do you still love him?” Jessica asked.Vera reluctantly smiled. “The question is tempting. Though I still love him for the sake of my child,” she replied.“I can help you, even though the case seems unattended to,” Jessica assured her.“Norah was the one who orchestrated this. She wanted to use this opportunity to pin Renee in jail so she wouldn’t disturb her marriage with Lucas,” Jessica explained.“The evidence that Xavier and I stole from Renee is real, unless you have other means to help out,” Vera admitted.“Don’t worry, I will convince the judge when we next meet in court,” Jessica promised.The next day, Vera decided to

    Ms. Jessica had a talk with Lucas. “Lucas, you don’t need to worry. I believe my next move with the judge will leave him no option but to declare Xavier free,” Ms. Jessica said confidently.“You know why I want Renee to remain in jail. I don’t mind if she rots there,” Lucas replied coldly. They continued their conversation, plotting their next steps.Meanwhile, at Vera’s house, Vera confronted Evelyn. “I advise you to find another place to stay. This is my house, and I can’t share it with someone who has snatched my husband,” Vera said firmly. As they were talking, there was a knock at the door.“Come in,” Vera said after peeking through the peephole. “Good morning, Mrs. Norah,” Vera greeted as Norah entered. When Norah saw Evelyn, she felt a surge of anger.“What are you doing here, Evelyn? You homewrecker! Do you think I’m doing this for you? No, it’s all for Vera and the child she has with Xavier. Even though I wanted Renee to end up in jail, Evelyn, I won’t take it…” Norah was cut

    Norah, hearing what Vera has done and her good heart towards Evelyn's, then called on Vera. "I have seen that you have decided to pay good for evil, but get this at the back of your mind: Evelyn won't in any way allow you to have Xavier back, not when he is strongly in love with her." She said it with a moody face. "I have taken off my mind from Xavier; what I did was to secure the child and his mother, especially the child. I know Xavier might have gotten children from different women, which happens to me and Evelyn, but in other words, I will allow him to do that which is in his mind, and for Evelyn he can go on getting married with her." Vera said to Norah, who was already pitying her."I know you must be thinking about me and my son." Vera asked her. "Yes, what about him?" "I will protect my son the way I want; Xavier won't set his eye on him." She replied, Norah. A few minutes later, Mr. Liam at his house met with Amos. "Has this become a tax you can't handle? This is my only

  • My Billionaire ex-husband   Xavier and vera reconciled

    In the courtroom, Ms. Jessica stood confidently before the judge. “Your Honor, my client, Xavier, did not steal from Renee. Renee willingly handed him the money under the influence of love. They were in a relationship, and it is not uncommon for partners to share financial resources.”Amos, the opposing lawyer, rose to his feet. “Your Honor, this is a clear case of theft. Renee did not give Xavier the money willingly. He manipulated her emotions and took advantage of her trust. We have evidence of text messages where Xavier coerced Renee into giving him the money.”Ms. Jessica countered, “Those messages do not prove coercion, Your Honor. They show a couple discussing their finances. Moreover, Renee never reported the money as stolen until after their relationship ended. This indicates that the money was given freely during the course of their relationship.”Amos responded, “Your Honor, the timing of the report is irrelevant. The fact remains that Xavier took the money under false pret

    "Evelyn, you better understand that no one will tolerate your foolishness. I treated you like a sister, but you ended up betraying me, thinking you could surpass me," Norah said, her voice dripping with disdain.Evelyn remained unfazed and replied, "I don't care what you think about this. But get it into your head that I, Evelyn, don't give up easily. Xavier can't leave me, not after I have a child with him."Norah laughed mockingly, "Oh, Evelyn, you're delusional. Do you really think a child will keep him with you? You're just a phase he will soon forget."Despite Norah's taunts, Evelyn was determined. She met with Xavier later that day, her resolve unshaken. "Xavier, we need to talk," she said firmly.Xavier looked at her, a mix of confusion and concern on his face. "What is it, Evelyn?""It's about our child," she began, her voice steady. "You can't just walk away from us. You have a responsibility."Xavier sighed, "I know, Evelyn. I promise to take responsibility for the child."B

    “Vera, it has always been you, my darling. You and only you in my life,” Xavier said softly as he found Vera at home, looking sad.“You claim to love me, yet you still give Evelyn attention,” she complained, her voice tinged with hurt.“No, darling, I have been her worst nightmare since she decided to be the trouble I face,” Xavier replied, trying to reassure her.“Who kidnapped her child?” she asked, her eyes searching his for answers.Xavier took a deep breath. “Vera, I don’t know anything about the boy’s kidnapping,” he said, his voice steady. But deep inside, he knew everything about it. Whenever he had private time at the office, he would call the child’s nanny to check on the boy’s well-being.Meanwhile, Evelyn stormed in, her face flushed with anger. “Vera, you kidnapped my child!” she accused, pointing a finger at her.Vera stood her ground, her eyes blazing. “I did no such thing, Evelyn. I would never harm a child, let alone kidnap one. You have no right to accuse me without

    Isabella’s eyes filled with tears as she clasped her hands together. “Lucas, please, I’m begging you. Think about the good times we shared, the moments of laughter and joy. Surely, that counts for something?”Lucas smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Good times? Moments of laughter? You must be joking, Isabella. Those moments were nothing but a facade, a mask to hide your true nature.”“Lucas, please,” Isabella’s voice cracked. “I’m not asking for myself. Think about Renee. She made mistakes, yes, but she’s still a human being. She doesn’t deserve to rot in prison.”Lucas’s expression hardened. “Renee made her bed, and now she must lie in it. You think a few crocodile tears will change my mind? You must think I’m as naive as I once was.”Isabella’s desperation grew. “Lucas, I’m willing to give up everything. The restaurant, the house, anything you want. Just please, show some mercy.”Lucas laughed coldly. “Mercy? That’s rich coming from you. You and your family showed me none. Why sh

She knew that uncovering the truth behind his murder was crucial, not just for justice, but for her own personal reasons. Renee’s suspicions were primarily focused on two individuals Mr Dickson family and Mr. Williams’ business partner.

Remember, this is what led to your imprisonment, and I don’t want that to happen again,” Mr. Dickson warned him.“Father, how can you watch Mr. Williams take what has been mine for so long? He made us poor, and all you can say is to let him go with that?” Thomas retorted.Rebecca, Thomas’s mother, also warned him, “Thomas, don’t make any attempts that will cause more harm and lead to your imprisonment again.

    ---Anna stood in the bustling airport, her heart pounding in her chest. She had come to pick up her friend Norah, but fate had other plans. As she scanned the crowd, her eyes locked onto a familiar face. It was him—James, the father of her child, the man who had left her years ago.James looked different, more mature, but there was no mistaking those eyes. He seemed equally stunned, his gaze fixed on Anna. She had changed too. She was no longer the young, uncertain girl he had left behind. She was a confident, beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but admire her.As they walked towards each other, the noise of the airport faded into the background. They stopped a few feet apart, the air thick with unspoken words. James was the first to break the silence."Anna," he said, his voice filled with emotion.

    "I don't think it will be necessary if we keep going in this manner. This group of individuals has a high reputation and will do anything in their power to hold you down, Lucas. Meanwhile, the only thing to consider is your sincerity. You can't continue to be hurt daily. I suggest you look for a solution quickly," Xavier spoke to him."Whatever has made them regard me this way must have come from their collective idea and nothing more than that. I think that's where it should be considered necessary as well," Lucas replied."Yes, that's where we should focus more," Xavier agreed.Lucas met with his lawyer, Ms. Jessica, over the case against him. This time, she approached the courtroom with compelling reasons that proved Lucas's innocence. She presented new evidence and testimonies that dismantled the accusations against him.

    "All I see in this is the act of jealousy," Lucas said to Ms. Jessica, his lawyer, as he sat with Xavier, speaking right in front of her. "I think what you need to know is that we are fighting multiple wars, and this could be the last. How they came to team up against you is something I can't really comprehend, but I think there's much more to this as well.""Yes, there is much more to this, as you have said, which is why I need to be careful. I have done that with everything in me. We need to confront one of the business partners," she said to him."Who on earth among them will give me the actual reason for fighting me? Is it the association or the IT head as well? I'm just confused, Ms. Jessica," Lucas breathed out.Ms. Jessica nodded thoughtfully. "We need to approach this strategically. Let's start by meeting with the association head. He might have some answers."Xavier, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "I agree with Jessica. We need to get to the bottom of this.

    "Deniel, who must have paid you to hurt me and cause me tears?" Lucas asked, catching the vibe of the situation."No one paid me, Lucas. The truth remains that we had a deal," Deniel replied."What deal is that? When on Earth did I know you? I have no business with you. Why must you go this far to blaspheme me?" Lucas added.Deniel laughed. "Hahahahaha. You think you are the most intelligent businessman. The same man who treated me, Liam, and the Dickson family like a mess. You think you won't have to share what you have done?" he asked Lucas.Lucas stood looking at him, even as the whole world started believing Deniel. Unknown to Deniel, Lucas had a little recorder in his pocket connected to the officer outside. The conversation was ongoing."Now listen to me. You can only be free from this if you release the one under your custody. That's the only way I will release you," Deniel said."Please, I am ready to do everything in my power to release them.
