The next day, after breakfast, Norah decides to give Thomas a surprise visit in his office.She drove into his company and headed to the secretary's office, but she wasn't sitting at the moment." Where has she gone to.?" Norah asked herself. " I will have to wait,it is better for things to be done properly." Norah said within herself, as she sat at the reception waiting. For about thirty minutes, Thomas' secretary hadn't arrived." She might have been sacked by the rude Thomas. Who would like to work with such an arrogant boss? " she asked herself. " I think he is the secretary himself." She concluded. " I can't wait any longer, I wanted to give him a surprise visit but the situation made me want to call him." She answered herself. Norah, about dialing Thomas' number when she had another thought to take him by surprise."Better to take him by surprise." Norah, sounded silently. And stood from her chair, walking towards Thomas office, she heard a cumming from his office." What am I h
Thomas drove into Norah house, and parked at the car park. " I pray she understands me." He said to himself, and waved hands to the domestic workers standing. Meanwhile, Norah was watching from the window. "What brought him to my house? I have nothing to do with his type." She said to herself, which was when Thomas had got into the room." I would like to see Norah." He said to the domestic worker, who was standing in the sitting room." She is relaxing inside. She has instructed me to tell you that she doesn't want to see you here nor have words with you." The chef who Norah had sent to Thomas delivered her assignments." If there is anyone to have words with Norah, it should be me." He answered her. " So go in there and tell her that I am waiting." He was cut short by Norah who was coming from her room." Young man, what are you doing in my house.; You womanizer.?" Norah asked him, standing upstairs as well." Can we have words please.?" He asked, Norah looking from the parlor. "
Norah, after about 9 hours with Lucas, Norah decided to return her father call, she " What nonsense was that, you have been ignoring my call. Not just that, you left the city without my notice." Mr William spoke to her daughter." Sorry for that father, I was so irritated with Thomas' actions, the man you always want me to spend the rest of my life with. I felt so tired and needed to take a flight back to Sengkang, where I would have some rest." She answered her father." If that be the case, I will retrieve you from managing the company over there. You will be replaced, and I mean my word. " He answered and ended the call on Norah.Norah was shocked, she knows what her father can do." No, it hasn't gotten like that, I can't be replaced simply because I have found more comfort in this place. Father can't do this to me." She said to herself, robbing her hands all around her head. I worked for this, so it can't sleep off my hands." She added, and sat back on thee bed. " What will I do
Mr William, holding a glass of wine, with his phone beside him, had a call." I know she must call." He has been expecting a Norah call. " You have finally seen the changes. Get ready to be dragged back to Serangoon, you are my daughter, that gives me the right to handle you the way I want it." Mr Williams, said and sipped from the glass of wine in his hand." You can't do this to me father, I am your favorite, the best you have gotten. Acting evil toward me is a sign that you have begun to hate me.what is my crime dad.?" Norah asked, still with the phone on her ear." You seem to have forgotten your crime." Mr William said and smiled." I have found you the joy you have ever wished for, but you choose to turn it down." " Look,here daughter,I would like to hear that you are still in sengkang. Else I will be force to drag you by myself." " I am going nowhere father, and for your so called joy giver, am not interested, sorry for ending this on you, buti have to, since you have decided
Norah felt pity on Mr Andrew. " I would have let you go without a penny, my gracious heart has decided to favor you with this little token, a cheque of 300 thousand dollars. That will help you." She handed it over to him." How can this sustain me? Please, I need my job back." Mr Andrew cried out." You acted so foolish. Please leave my office." She commanded him. Mr Andrew returns back to Serangoon while Norah maintains her office. On the other hand, Mr Dickson walked into his son's room." Good day father." Thomas greeted, with a sad look." There is nothing good about the day. You always ruin my plans." Mr Dickson replied to him." How, on what way did I contribute to that.?" Thomas asked curiously." I spoke with Mr Williams, where he told me about Norah." He was cut short by his son." She caught me having sex with my secretary in my office, isn't it.?" Thomas asked." What. Norah caught you making love with your secretary in your office.?" Mr Dickson asked with a surprised loo
was weekend, Norah and Lucas, sat watching the television, she lay her head oItn Lucas laps." Can I ask for a favor?" Lucas got Norah's attention." What favor is that my love? Whatever it is I will do to make you happy." She replied to him." I found a land where I would like to set up my business." He replied to her." You still love your chef business.?" Norah asked him." Yes, and when I inquired about its owner. I was told you own it." He replied to her." Which of the land in particular.?" Norah asked him. Lucas described the land location to her." Oh! She exclaimed. " I have something bigger to offer to you.The land you describe is yours, I purchased it with your name. But realized, you need a better life than going back with your formal business as a chef." She replied to him so darlingly." That is all I know how to do best." He answered." Alright. I have a surprise for you." She answered him. And stretched her hands, towards the table where she had kept her phone." Do yo
Mr Williams after a long hour waiting, decided to leave Norah compound." I will be leaving right now, while the two of you wait behind. Make sure, Norah and the bastard boy are found." Mr Williams, pointed at his two bodyguards he had chosen to wait behind.He left angrily back, in a hotel where he had a lodge for the night." I think my father has left. Come out." Norah, slowly said to Lucas. They both looked from the dog cage window." The old man guards are waiting. He must have asked them to do so." She said to Lucas, thinking about what to do." While you must risk your life for me. You have done more than what a lover could do to her partner. I think it is the right time to allow you to enjoy the decision made by your father. You can't keep taking such a risk on my behalf." Lucas replied to her.Norah, holding his hands, looked into Lucas eye and coldly said to him," I don't want to die with you, I don't care what the world would call this. Why I care must is you. I love you "
Mr Williams suddenly called on his bodyguards to return home, while he had taken the available flight back to Serangoon." Mr Williams.!" Mr Dickson visited Mr Williams in his office, with a smiling face." Wooo! Mr Williams exclamed with smile as well. " Please have a seat." Mr William offered him a seat." What going on, I am not seeing nor hearing positive outcome on your persistence in seeing that my son married your daughter. She seem to be hard on this,, isn't it.?" Mr Dickson asked, crossing his right leg on the left.Mr William breathed down and replied him." I think she need somet time. Remember it will be so difficult to convince her on this. But have my word as usual, I will do all I can to see that Shee accept your son." " Remember, the contract remains yiuurs once this is achieved. I need someone like Norah who can help my son in his unresisted behavior. " " I learnt the insult he gave to himself the day Norah paid him a surprise visit. What do you think about it.?" Mr
"Finally, we have won at last. I have made my revenge, and thus called for celebration," said Lucas as he looked at Norah and all he had achieved so far.The victory party was a grand affair. The hall was adorned with shimmering lights and vibrant decorations, reflecting the joy and triumph of the occasion. Friends and allies gathered, their faces beaming with pride and happiness. Music filled the air, a lively tune that had everyone tapping their feet and swaying to the rhythm.Lucas stood at the center, receiving congratulations and heartfelt words from those who had supported him. Norah, by his side, couldn't help but smile, her eyes shining with admiration and love. The tables were laden with a feast fit for royalty, with dishes from every corner of the land, each more delicious than the last.As the night progressed, stories of bravery and camaraderie were shared, laughter echoed through the hall, and the bond between the celebrants grew stronger. Lucas raised a toast, his voice f
Roxanne felt a deep sense of dread as she discussed leaving the country with Rebecca. "Our husbands have been held, and our children too," Rebecca said, her voice trembling. "And you want to flee the country?"Roxanne sighed, her eyes filled with tears. "What do you expect from Lucas, whom you and I have treated badly?" she replied. "He has to do something about it."Rebecca shook her head. "Lucas is our only hope now. We need to trust him."Days passed, and the situation grew more dire. The streets were filled with chaos, and the sound of gunfire echoed through the night. Roxanne knew she had to make a decision. One night, under the cover of darkness, she packed her belongings and left a note for Lucas. She couldn't bear to say goodbye in person.As she crossed the border, her heart ached with the weight of leaving her family behind. She knew Lucas would search for her, but she hoped he would understand why she had to go.Lucas, upon finding the note, felt a mix of anger and determin
---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. "You look amazing.""James," she replied, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of feelings inside her. "It's been a long time."He nodded, his eyes never leaving hers. "Too long. I...
"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. The judge and jury listened intently as Ms. Jessica laid out the facts, showing that Lucas had been wrongfully accused. Her arguments were clear and persuasive, l
"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. I have seen that you are stronger
“I don’t really get it. Lucas involved in fraud. Do you know what that means? The great shock it has caused me as well,” Lucas said to Mr. Williams. “We need to do something fast about it, unless we lose it all. But I still don’t believe you, Lucas,” Mr. Williams replied.“I don’t understand you, Mr. Williams,” Lucas said as Norah walked in.“Lucas, what is going on? I thought you had inherited all that your father made for you. Why are you involved in fraud?” she asked him.“Norah, are you the one saying this to me? The same Norah that promised to fight the challenge with me?” Lucas asked her.“I have made deep research on this. There is no difference from this. It all contains your signature and name, even the date and time. Everything you did illegally,” she paused and began to sob. “I thought you were responsible. That was why I had kids with you. I didn’t know you were a pretender.”“Norah, what has gotten into you? Do you know that it is your husband, Lucas, you are talking to i
"The battle is over," Xavier said to Lucas."Not yet, not until I have seen both Dickson and Mr. Liam end up in prison," Lucas replied. Unknown to Lucas, Roxanne had gone on with the most dangerous fight in him. He was surprised to hear from his lawyer, Ms. Jessica."What am I hearing from you? This should have come to you before now, but there's a lot going on in my head that I'm about to sort out," she said to him."Please, I don't really understand you. Did you call me to your office to tell me how busy you are?" he asked her."Not really, Mr. Lucas. Please, what is this?" she asked him, handing over a file.Lucas looked into the file. "I don't understand," he said."This was brought to my table. I was able to snatch it from the accusers. This is your signature on an illegal business deal with Mr. Francis," she said.Lucas stood up. "I don't understand you. Where and how did I get to know Mr. Francis? I don't know a name like that. I think there is a mistake somewhere," he answered
Bianca still felt love for Mark. "There is a birthday I would like you to attend with me," Mark said to her. "Really?" she asked him. "Yes," he answered with a smile. Bianca accepted the offer. Meanwhile, it was a setup with Xavier to get her down. The plan commenced. Bianca, who had felt uneasy, left the child with his new nanny and went to dine with Mark. As she walked into the birthday event, there was the sound of music playing. She asked, "Are you sure this is the birthday event?" Mark smiled and answered her, "Yes, this is the birthday event, and soon the celebrant will be out to have a handshake with me as well.""How would the celebrant have a handshake with you here outside when there are so many people to attend to?" she asked him. "You don't need to worry," Mark replied. Before Bianca could say another word, she was already surrounded by a group of police officers. "What is going on here?" she asked, raising her head to the other side of her right hand. "What is the meaning
