Mr. Liam, who has been stroked down, could only keep weeping on the wheelchair."This is where I have ended." He spoke silently before Isabella, who was taking care of him."We have hope, my darling; you will surely get better." She answered."Where is Renee.?" He asked, curiosly.Renee has gone out for business but will be back soon. She answered him, acting to be fine.At the same time, Lucas and Norah were leaving one of his hotels, where he had been given to inspect himself."I think the manager is doing better; he is capable of the call." Norah spoke, walking with Lucas hand in hand, when they came across Renee."Finally, I have met with you face to face again." Renee paused, with her purse."Dadling, can I speak with her privately.?" Norah requested from Lucas."Alright, I will be waiting at the car park." Lucas answered Norah as he walked towards the car park.Renee tried to interrupt, but her mission then was just on Norah; she decided to hold to her peace."It is you and I."
Evelyn’s heart raced as she stumbled into her house. “I can’t believe I failed at this,” she muttered, berating herself for not considering Lucas’s security cameras. “Not even a thought about the CCTV!” But she knew that tomorrow was another day, a chance to try again.Meanwhile, Renee sat with her mother, Isabella. Their situation was dire—Isabella’s sick father needed urgent medical attention, and their bank account was nearly empty. Renee’s mind raced, replaying the events that led to this moment.“I have nothing to say at this junction,” Renee began, her voice serious. “But I need to tell you about Norah and my ex-husband.”Isabella raised an eyebrow. “Point of correction, he’s your ex-husband,” she corrected. “You willingly threw him to the dogs.”Renee bristled. “What’s that supposed to mean, Mother? Are you against my actions?”“This is where our problems started,” Isabella sighed. “If you had kept him with you, we wouldn’t be victims of his sudden rise.”“You’re blaming me now
As soon as Anna spotted the danger, Norah and Lucas started exchanging their wedding vows. Anna shouted."That can't happen; he is a cheat and won't have someone like you." Anna was speaking to Norah, who pretended, as well."Anna, what brought you here? I thought you had gone far from me.?" Lucas asked her, with Pretense as well."This is your son, with me." Anna answered, as everyone got astonished about that."Can someone tell me what is going on here.?" Norah asked the audience, who were equally surprised. Thomas immediately signals his gang not to attack."I said it; this is more reason why I divorce you, Lucas, but I have forgiven you and would like to spend the rest of my life with you." Renee spoke. "Is this a plan or what.?" Lucas, filled with surprise, asked."It is not a plan, but a reality. This is your baby." Anna answered. As Anna’s voice echoed through the grand hall, tension hung thick in the air. Norah and Lucas, their hands still entwined, turned to face her. The g
Thomas sat alone in the dimly lit sitting room, his thoughts swirling like autumn leaves caught in a gust of wind. The memory of Norah—the one who had slipped through his fingers—haunted him. Lucas, with his chest puffed out like a territorial wolf, had claimed her. But Thomas wouldn’t stand idly by. He’d rise from the ashes of humiliation and reclaim what was rightfully his. The path to success lay before him, and he’d follow it, even if it meant challenging Lucas and risking everything for love.Thomas’s heart swelled with determination as he confided in his mother. “I love Norah,” he declared, his voice unwavering. “I’m willing to sacrifice everything to win her back.” His mother’s eyes softened, and she nodded. “This is your moment,” she assured him. “Claim what rightfully belongs to you.” Thomas took a sip of the wine before continuing. “Anna, with her revelation of Lucas’s hidden secret, has paved the way for me. I’ll seize this opportunity and make Norah mine once more."Thomas
Mr. Dickson glared at Mr. Williams, who sat behind a mahogany desk, unruffled.“You’ve nearly ruined me,” Mr. Dickson spat. “All to please your daughter.”Mr. Williams leaned back, fingers steepled. “I didn’t make you poor. I merely ensured justice.”“But Lucas!” Mr. Dickson’s voice trembled. “You revealed him as the true heir. The same Lucas known as a cheat!”Mr. Williams met his gaze. “Past mistakes don’t define a man forever.”"That means you know what has gone wrong. Do you know I have planned filing a case against you in court.?" Mr Dickson asked him."I am not scared, Mr. Dickson; nevertheless, I won't conclude on Lucas until the DNa test is done successfully." "I see you have been serious with this; if this is a joke, kindly stop it before you get me upset the more." Mr. Dickson answered him."It is not a joke, but a truth that will be revealed. Remember, the world seeking a DNA test should be consulted by Lucas before coming to conclusions." Mr Williams answered.The garden
Renee stormed out of Edward’s office, Edward Lucas informat on land and properties on sell. Renee heart pounding. The restaurant—the place where she’d grown up, where her dreams had simmered over steaming pots and sizzling grills—was now in Lucas’s hands. She couldn’t accept it.Determined, she marched to Lucas’s penthouse, her knuckles rapping sharply on the door. When he opened it, his eyes widened at the sight of her.“Renee,” he said, his voice colder than the marble floor. “What do you want?”“The restaurant,” she spat out. “You sold it to Edward.”Lucas leaned against the doorframe, his jaw clenched. “And why should I care?”“It’s my birthright,” Renee said, her voice trembling. “My mother sacrificed it to save my father—the same man who’s lying in that hospital bed, fighting for his life.”Lucas’s eyes flickered with something she couldn’t decipher. “Your father was always more important to you than anything else.”“Because he’s family!” Renee’s anger surged. “And you? You were
"So this was all prank to know what exactly I will do." Mr. Williams said to Lucas and Norah."Yes, father, it is time the wedding began; this time, no one will stop us." Norah answered, which was the moment Mr. Liam recovered, but nothing was left to keep him more in the spotlight as usual."We have lost all while chasing after Lucas, yet we haven't gotten what we have." Mr. Liam spoke."Father, you have recoveted fully, and is it time you allow me to go for what I want?" Renee spoke, regretting what had happened. "If I had known that Lucas would go as far as this, I wouldn't have done what I did to him." She spoke, speaking in bitterness."It is not your fault but our. Meanwhile, this is time we think on how to bounce back, rather than fighting an innocent man." Mr. Liam spoke nicely."He is my man, and I have to be with him; it is time I go for a job in his company." Renee spoke.Two days later, Norah and Lucas had their wedding done peacefully; the both traveled out for their hone
Mr. Dickson, on hearing about Mr. Williams illness, decided to plot against him by colliding with the nurse."Look who will have here." Nurse Abigail humbly said to me Dickson the moment he paid her visit in her house."Please have a seat while I get you something to eat." She said to him, smiling."Hahahhaha, you remind me of those days when your late mother, my good friend, always served me something each time I paid her visit. Oh! I missed her good gesture." He said to her.Abigail smiled as well as she got along with his companionship."Thanks for the drink, but I don't think I have the appetite for this." Mr. Dickson answered her coldly."Oh, now I see why you turned a sad face at this moment; it is all about your friend, Mr. Williams. Well, he is getting better, and I promised you that he will be discharged tomorrow morning based on doctor instructions, just that Mr. Lucas advised he spend more than two days for a proper fit before being discharged." She told him."I don't care
