Lucas, with a look of pains, drove into Mr. Williams’ house. “What has this liar come to do in my house, after he cheated on my daughter with his ex-wife?” Mr. Williams muttered to himself, watching Lucas walk directly to the doorpost. “Stop him,” he ordered the guard.While this was happening, Norah walked downstairs. “Where do you think you are going?” Mr. Williams asked her.“I’m right here with you, Father, awaiting Lucas’s entrance. I can’t wait to pour insults on him after betraying the love we shared,” Norah answered.Lucas, at the doorpost, overheard Norah and shouted, “I didn’t betray our love, Norah! Whatever you heard from Renee is all lies. She wants to come between us. Why not believe me, my love?”“I hate you, Lucas! I don’t want to see you anywhere near my house. Please leave; you’re hurting me even more,” Norah shouted back.“No, I can’t leave without you. I love you, Norah. Believe me, I didn’t cheat on you. I can prove it,” Lucas pleaded.“Young man, you are making a
Mr. Dickson, looking deeply remorseful for his actions, approached Mr. Williams. “What do you choose as your punishment for wanting to end my life?” Mr. Williams asked him. Dickson nodded his head and replied, “I know I don’t deserve to live, and neither does my son, but we plead that you find a place in your heart to forgive us.”Mr. Williams sighed deeply, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and sorrow. “Dickson, your actions could have resulted in my death. Do you understand the gravity of what you’ve done? You put my life at risk, and for what? Your selfish desires?”Dickson fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face. “I am truly sorry, Mr. Williams. I was blinded by my own foolishness and greed. I beg for your mercy, not just for me, but for my son. We are willing to accept any punishment you deem fit.”Meanwhile, Thomas met with Renee, his face beaming with gratitude. “Renee, I can’t thank you enough for the lies you told about Norah. Because of you, Norah left Lucas’s hou
“All I want is for you to go and tell Norah, my wife, that I didn’t cheat on her with you,” Lucas said to Renee over the phone.“That can’t happen. Do you take me for a fool? You think I would do such a thing after I told you I want you back?” Renee retorted, her voice filled with anger.“Renee, this isn’t about us. It’s about clearing my name and saving my marriage,” Lucas pleaded, trying to keep his frustration in check.“And what about my feelings, Lucas? You think I can just walk up to Norah and tell her that? After everything we’ve been through?” Renee shot back, her voice trembling with emotion.Lucas sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I know it’s complicated, but I need your help. If you ever cared about me, you’ll do this.”Renee’s voice softened slightly, but her resolve remained firm. “I did care about you, Lucas. That’s why this hurts so much. But I can’t lie to Norah. She deserves the truth, and so do I.”“Renee, please,” Lucas begged, desperation creeping into his
Lucas was struggling to convince Norah that he had nothing to do with Renee. The more he tried, the more confused Norah became. “It’s true that you are the father of my son and my unborn baby, but I can’t stay with a man who has stabbed me in the back. I need some rest from your disturbance,” she said, her voice trembling with emotion.“My love, if only you would hear me out, I would be grateful. I have nothing to do with Renee. She is the last person on my mind,” Lucas pleaded, his eyes filled with desperation.Just then, Renee stormed into the room, her face flushed with anger. “Why did you cheat on me with her, Lucas?” she demanded, her voice shaking with fury. “I thought we had something special!”Lucas turned to Renee, his expression one of frustration and disbelief. “I didn’t cheat on Norah with you, Renee. I don’t know where you’re getting these ideas from, but they’re not true. I have always been faithful to Norah.”Renee scoffed, crossing her arms. “Oh, really? Then why did I
Renee ran back to her mother. “What is it again?” Isabella asked her.“I think I have failed this time again,” Renee replied.“What exactly are you talking about, my daughter? Have Norah and Lucas reconciled?” Isabella asked.“You will always be in shock when most of your plans against the innocent couples keep failing,” Mr. Liam said to Renee, as he stood behind them, unknown to them.Renee turned to face her mother, her eyes filled with frustration and disappointment. “Yes, they have reconciled. I saw them together, laughing and holding hands. It feels like all our efforts were for nothing. Every time I think we’ve succeeded, they find a way back to each other.”Isabella’s face grew tense with concern. “This is troubling, Renee. We can’t let them stay together. Their union threatens everything we’ve worked for. We need to come up with a new plan, and quickly.”Renee nodded, her mind racing with thoughts of their next move. “I know, Mother. But it’s getting harder. They seem to grow
“I will have to expose you to Renee, since you have decided to betray me with Evelyn,” Vera said, her voice trembling with anger. Xavier stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. “Don’t dare me, Vera. If you do, I will make the world burn for you,” he warned, his tone icy.Vera’s eyes flashed with defiance. “You think you can intimidate me, Xavier? I’ve faced worse than you.”Xavier’s jaw tightened. “You have no idea what I’m capable of. This isn’t a game, Vera. You’re playing with fire.”“Maybe I want to get burned,” Vera shot back, her voice rising. “At least then, I’ll know who you really are.”Xavier’s expression softened for a moment, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. “You already know who I am, Vera. It’s you who keeps pretending otherwise.”Vera took a step back, her resolve wavering. “I thought I knew you. But Evelyn… she changed everything.”“Evelyn means nothing to me,” Xavier said, his voice low. “It’s always been you, Vera. But if you can’t see that, then maybe we a
“Look, Lucas, this is where you’ll stay until I spend the rest of my life with Norah, the one you stole from me,” Thomas sneered.“Listen to me, even in my death, I will not allow you to have Norah,” Lucas retorted, his voice filled with defiance.Thomas’s eyes darkened with anger. He turned to the kidnappers. “Teach him a lesson,” he ordered before leaving the room. As Lucas endured the brutal beating, Thomas took the next available flight to Serangoon.Upon arriving, Thomas drove straight to Norah’s house. He was stopped by the guards at the gate, but Norah soon appeared, her face pale and drawn with worry.“What are you doing here, Thomas? Have you come to mock me?” Norah’s voice was sharp, her eyes filled with suspicion.Thomas put on his most sincere expression. “Norah, I’m here to help. I heard about Lucas, and I want to do everything I can to find him.”Norah’s eyes narrowed. “I don’t need your help, Thomas. Stay away from me.”Thomas raised his hands in a placating gesture. “I
Thomas was announced not guilty by the judge. Upon hearing this, Norah’s anger flared. This time, she planned to take matters into her own hands. “I suspected Thomas all along in the disappearance of my husband. Even though he claimed he wasn’t in town on that fateful day when my love, Lucas, was kidnapped, Thomas has to return to jail. He needs to be tortured until he tells the truth,” Norah said to Jessica, Lucas’s lawyer.“Yes, Mrs. Norah, I suspected him too. It’s time we confront him. Remember how he planned to kill your father? Thomas isn’t far from what happened to Lucas. We need to act fast before he gets home,” Jessica replied.Norah handed over her baby to the maid and called the police. They arrested Thomas right before his door as he was about to enter his home.Thomas was stunned. He had just been declared not guilty, and now he was being arrested again. “What is this? I was just released!” he exclaimed, struggling against the officers.His mother, Rebecca, watched in hor
