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.

    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

    "There is one thing I am sure of, which is not giving Evelyn space to see the sky anymore, even though she is in prison. There are ways to trap her down," Lucas said to Norah, who had reported everything to him."I have asked the team to keep searching for the nanny. This will be the last battle to fight, and when we are done, we will relocate to a new city and have the best of what we want on earth," Lucas said to Norah."I believe you, Lucas. There is a lot to fight for. Nevertheless, let's watch and see what it looks like," Norah replied."I think I have an idea," Lucas said to Norah."What idea is that, and how does it help Xavier in this situation?" Norah asked him."This is what we will do about this," he answered. "I will have to do this myself. I will search for the nanny on my own rather than doing it with the team's notice," Lucas answered."That won't be possible. You need to work with the team," Norah insisted.---After much discussion, Norah and Lucas came to a conclusio

    "We don't need to delay anymore," Renee said to Thomas, who was with her. "It's already trending on social media that Lucas has finally caught up with Evelyn and brought her to justice. At the same time, our little communication here has also been exposed. I think we have become the talk of everyone.""Do you think they would believe we have something in common or have developed feelings for each other here in prison?" Thomas asked her."You don't need to tell me that. I have all the information at hand," Renee answered confidently."Do you think we could ever give up our dreams?" Renee asked him."That's for you to decide. But for me, Norah must be mine," Thomas replied with determination."I think I have realized that fighting Lucas is a waste of time. Despite that, I will keep trying my best until I get what I want," Renee said resolutely.Meanwhile, Mark continued his secret investigation.

    Anna's wedding

    ---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.

    "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.

    The wrong report

    “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

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.

"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.
