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
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
Evelyn's heart was as heavy as a mountain as she watched Xavier keep loving Vera. "Why am I suspecting that Evelyn knows exactly where the child is? Why not ask the police to get her arrested? With that, she will confess," Vera suggested to Xavier. Xavier nodded after sipping from his glass of wine. "The truth is that Evelyn has to provide my son, wherever she has kept him. I don't mind how she will do it. I know that she has my son with her," Xavier answered. "Calling the police on her will definitely mount a lot on me, and I don't want to stress myself much on this," he added. Vera kept on persuading him, but the more she did, the more she received a "no" from him. "This is my child we are talking about here. Why do you act as if it's all about your involvement?" Xavier asked. "It is part of me. Whatever is yours is mine as well," she answered politely. "Darling, Evelyn doesn't deserve much good from you, but evil, and a little kindness if only she is worth it. So stop being disturb
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
