Xavier sat in Lucas's sitting room, determined to find the masked woman, Evelyn. "I promise you, Lucas, I will find her," he vowed.Lucas frowned, cautioning him. "You need to wait. Let me start working on it. Rushing in won't help.""I can't wait any longer. I need my son," Xavier replied, his desperation palpable."What about your wife? She will feel terrible if she knows how desperate you are," Lucas warned, but Xavier's determination was unwavering. He almost ignored Lucas's words entirely.Driven by his need, Xavier began his own search for Evelyn. He spent countless hours researching, following leads, and setting traps. He scoured the city, questioning anyone who might have seen her. His obsession grew, and he became more reckless with each passing day.One night, Xavier thought he had finally cornered Evelyn. He set up an elaborate plan to capture her, but it failed spectacularly. Evelyn was always one step ahead, slipping through his fingers at the last moment. The frustration
"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 might be aware that his wife is not here," Evelyn said to one of her team members. "I have informed him. We need to make a secret search on how to hold him as well.""What do you think we should do right now to ensure Norah is out of my way permanently? I hate the thought of her still being alive. I need to have Evelyn, even though Lucas has planned to take me down. With Norah out of the way, I will definitely be in a good position," Evelyn sounded determined."I think I know what to do. I will go to the street and make a search for what is really lacking in his place," Leo added. Evelyn permitted him.Leo managed to secure a job at Lucas's office without Lucas knowing he was a spy for Evelyn. Lucas, a billionaire, had placed a job vacancy for an **Executive Assistant**. The position required someone with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to handle confidential information. Despite his background, Leo's qualifications fit the role perfectly. He
What is this deeper truth all about?" Lucas's heart pounded as he struggled to make sense of the situation. "Xavier, tell me the truth. I know you are behind this," Lucas demanded."I beg your pardon, Lucas. What do you mean by that? Don't you know me anymore? I can't do that to you," Xavier replied, bewildered."How did she get to know about this if you weren't the one who caused it?" Lucas asked, his curiosity piqued."Really, I have told you earlier that I am not the one. I don't know what you are talking about," Xavier answered."I am disappointed in you, Xavier, for revealing the truth. But rest assured, I will get you arrested," Lucas declared.Xavier, still confused and clueless about what Lucas was saying, turned to Vera, who was also shocked by the incident. "Darling, what did he just mean?" Xavier asked her."Did you...?" Vera began, but Xavier interrupted."Sorry, I did not do anything of such. I think he is being unnecessarily angry. I will speak with him in his office tom
"You wanted to repay good with evil after everything Lucas did for us. He treated us like his own," Vera said to Xavier, who was also in detention."I was deceived by the lawyer. I thought it would save me," Xavier replied. "I'm sorry for what I did. I felt disappointed when Lucas found out that Evelyn knew about Tnorsh and Anna's whereabouts. I thought you might be having an affair with her, but even after I forgave you and tried to clean up the mess, you continued with your ways," Vera added."You shouldn't have done that. You should have kept me safe. Why did you do this to me?" Xavier asked.Meanwhile, Liam and Dickson were shocked. They had expected Lucas to join them in prison. They were stunned when the judge gave Xavier 24 hours to find Evelyn's whereabouts."That man is always so lucky. He should have been in prison too," Liam said to Dickson."I don't know why he's so lucky. I wish someone would treat him as badly as he has treated us," Dickson replied. They both felt that L
Sam, unaware of what was going on, was dragged to the station. In the detention room, he was held down strictly. "Can someone explain to me what is going on here?" he asked one of the officers, who ignored him. Sam was still wondering when Lucas walked in with Norah."Lucas, thank goodness you're here. I don't know why I've been arrested by these men," Sam said."That's because you're a green snake in green grass," Lucas told him."I don't understand you. What makes me a green snake in green grass when it is strictly stated that I work for you?" Sam spoke, but Lucas could only look into his eyes with thorough pain."I regret trusting you at first. You should be the reason why Xavier has been in prison. You know Evelyn's whereabouts," Lucas said to him.Sam tried speaking out when Lucas shouted at him, "Come on, shut up, you liar! You think you can hide it from me? You can't, not even for a day."Sam wondered how Lucas got to know about it. "I overheard your call with her. I pretended
Lucas couldn't fool himself any longer. Evelyn had to be found and brought down, and it had to be done now. Determined, Lucas beat his chest and set his plan into motion. While he worked on his strategy, his team managed to trace Evelyn and capture her."How did you find me, even after I destroyed the phone that could reveal the truth?" Evelyn demanded."You can run, but you can't escape me when I'm ready for you," Lucas replied. "I decided to find you, and that's exactly what I did. Now that I've caught you, you have no choice but to come with me."Evelyn tried to resist, but Lucas's guards held her tightly, dragging her along.Lucas had used a clever trick to locate Evelyn. He had planted a hidden tracker in the phone she thought she had destroyed. The tracker transmitted a signal to Lucas's team, leading them straight to her hideout. As they moved to transport Evelyn, a sudden gunshot rang out. Both Evelyn's and Lucas's teams were engaged in a fierce firefight.Lucas ducked behind
Mr. Dickson was a man of few words, but when it came to his family, he was fiercely protective. The disappearance of his daughter, Renee, had left him in a state of turmoil. He had always been a man of action, and the helplessness he felt now was unbearable. He knew that Mr. Liam, Renee's father, held the key to finding her. Determined to get answers, Mr. Dickson decided to confront Mr. Liam directly.One evening, Mr. Dickson arrived at Mr. Liam's home, his face set in a grim expression. Mr. Liam opened the door, surprised to see him. "Mr. Dickson," he greeted, trying to mask his unease. "What brings you here?"Mr. Dickson wasted no time. "I want to know where Renee is," he demanded. "All I want is my grandchild. You need to tell me where she is."Mr. Liam's expression hardened. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dickson, but I can't help you," he replied firmly. "Renee's whereabouts are none of your concern."Mr. Dickson's eyes flashed with anger. "None of my concern? She's carrying my grandchild! I ha
Renee had always been a determined woman, and the mysterious death of Mr. Williams had only fueled her resolve. 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. She believed that the killer had to be someone within their inner circle, someone who had both the motive and the opportunity to commit such a heinous act. With this in mind, Renee devised a plan to get closer to Thomas, hoping to extract the information she needed.Thomas was a reserved man, always careful with his words and actions. He had a reputation for being trustworthy, but Renee couldn’t shake the feeling that he knew more than he was letting on. She decided to approach him directly, under the guise of seeking closure for Mr. Williams’ death.Their first meeting was at a quaint café, a place where they could talk without drawing too
Renee and Thomas were finally out of prison. Thomas, seeing all that had been taken from him, vowed to reclaim everything. “Son, you need to be careful. 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. We’ve suffered enough.”But Thomas was stubborn. He formed an alliance and vowed to eliminate the entire Williams family, including Lucas and Norah, if that would help him bounce back. While he was plotting, Lucas was preparing for his birthday party. None of the Dickson family attended the party. One of Thomas’s allies infiltrated the party as an invited guest and set his sights on Mr. Williams. Right there, he shot Mr. Williams
"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
