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
Thomas, who is so curious and ready to hear the bad breaking news. He visited Mr. Williams at the hospital."Hi, Norah." Thomas waved to Norah as she sat beside her dad as Lucas had gone to work."How is your father.?" He asked with surprise as he saw Mr. Williams open his eye."He is fine, as you can see." She answered him with a smile on her face, looking at Mr. Williams."I see he is fine." Thomas answered and drew closer to Mr. Williams."I wished you a quick recovery." He said to Mr. Williams, in a hurry, and leave for the Abigail office."What did you just do? You allowed him to live even after what my father has promised you; did you know what that man has caused us? Am about to lose my inheritance if he fails to die." "Thomas, it wasn't an easy tax; moreover, I was almost caught in the act by Lucas, whom I believe must have been thinking about it." She answered him."Oh, forget about him; he shouldn't be the reason why you were unable to carry on your mission." He answered he
"Father, I'm getting tired of all this about hidden Mr. Dickson plans against you; don't you think the right time will let the cat out of the bag?" "We need to do something about this father." Norah said to her father with a deep thought."Don't be faster than your shadow; since he wants to take my life through someone he never knew would betray him, I will do the worse on him gradually until I get him dry." Mr. Williams answered.Norah was so eager to see her father work with her words.Two months later, Renee seeks to work with Lucas Company; at this time, Norah was already two months pregnant with Lucas. Lucas, on his part, still insisted that Renee wouldn't work in his company, not even as a cleaner. Renee kept doing all she could, not until she spoke out to the world."This is my desire from my ex-husband, but he has denied it. I desire working in his company." She wrote. Thomas, seeing this, smiled and replied to her."Why not tell the world that you are so desperate to have him
Now Xavier and Vera in their location had been enjoying the stolen money from Renee. Meanwhile life became more terrible to Xavier after Vera had an accident that almost take her life." I have lost everything including my job. Where do I think I will start." Xavier asking himself as he stands on the tears." I Robbed Paul to pay Peter. Now the consequences is on me. How will I turn a new life." He kept asking himself when he was cought up with Vera. " I see you are carried away by thought. What exactly is disturbing you.?" She asked him." Well, I have watched my life scattered on daily basis and all I could do is to think on how to Amend this. Am just confused, what will I do.?" Xavier asked in pain. " You are not the only one going through this. Am also part of it. And I know that soon we will get rid of this. Believe me things will turned good soon. Pray I recover on time so I can help the little I can." She said to him." My love you are the best that have happened to me, and I
