"All I need is Norah, mother. I won't give up on her," Thomas said firmly, looking into his mother's eyes.

Rebecca sighed deeply, her eyes filled with concern. "So, she is the reason you're enduring all this in prison? I suggest we put an end to this and seek Lucas's help. He's the only one who can get you out of here," she urged.

"No, I can't. Doing that would be putting myself down and showing Lucas that I am too common," Thomas replied, his voice resolute.

Rebecca shook her head, frustration evident in her expression. "Thomas, you are being stubborn. Lucas has the influence to help you. Why won't you let him?"

"Because, mother, I have my pride. I won't let Lucas think he has power over me," Thomas insisted.

Rebecca's eyes softened, but her determination didn't waver. "Thomas, sometimes pride can be our downfall. Please, reconsider."

"No, mother. My decision is final," Thomas said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Rebecca sighed again, her heart heavy. "If you won't ask for h

    Mr. Dickson stormed into Amos's office, files clutched in his hands. "Can you see what that son of a bitch just did? He stood against my son's inheritance and stopped me from transacting with others. I'm finished," he said to Barrister Amos.Amos took the file from his hands and nodded after reviewing them. "I'm just short of words. I didn't expect Lucas to go this far. He has your son in prison while doing this?" Amos asked."Please, is there anything we can do to put an end to this nonsense? I'm just weak on this, almost given up," Mr. Dickson said, his voice filled with confusion."I warned you at first, fighting a billionaire like him is not just a little problem but something you can't handle. You failed to understand that he wasn't joking with your family, yet you both went on fighting him. What do you expect?" Amos asked him."Is this all you can say, that I have trespassed? Isn't that what you mean?" Mr. Dickson asked him."I will see what I can do about this," Amos answered h

    “So, you have finally decided to fight me, Lucas, even after I have loved you in the past and might have feelings for you in the future?” Evelyn asked him, her voice steady but filled with emotion.“You must be out of your mind. What makes you think that I, Lucas, would ever consider you? Listen carefully, Evelyn. The sooner you give Xavier peace of mind, the sooner you will have your own peace as well,” he scolded her, his tone harsh and unyielding.But Evelyn, a no-nonsense lady, stood firm. “Now I see, Lucas. You want to step into another man’s battle, forgetting that I am not Renee,” she said, her eyes blazing with determination. “Listen to me, Lucas.

But get this inside your head: I will not allow you to destroy my peace with Xavier.”Lucas smirked, his eyes narrowing. “You think you’re strong, Evelyn? You’re just a baby, someone I can handle however I want,” he taunted, stepping closer to her. “You

    "You should have at least listened to him more instead of coming here and making all kinds of noise, Evelyn. You thought you could just take my child, didn't you?" Xavier asked as she walked into his house."Xavier, whatever came over you should have reminded you that I am not a woman to play with. What I hate most in life is your cheating and unfaithfulness," she retorted."If anyone has been cheated on, it should be me, not you, you ungrateful husband-snatcher. I expected this, knowing you would come here speaking like a fool, as you always do. But let me assure you, the more you involve me in your untrained attitude, the worse your life will get," Vera interjected.Evelyn turned to Vera, her eyes blazing. "You were lucky the day we had that fight, Vera. If it weren't for Xavier stepping in, you would have seen what I'm capable of."Vera smirked, stepping closer. "Oh, I wanted to deal with you, Evelyn.

Please forgive me and let the past be the past," he pleaded.Vera, with a smile on her face, added, "He's right, Evelyn.

    “What is really happening, son? Where is my daughter?” Mr. Williams asked Lucas with a trace of curiosity.“That’s what I can’t explain. Not even her contact is reachable. Why exactly has this happened to us?” Lucas asked Mr. Williams.“You don’t have to ask me such things. You should understand that you are surrounded by multiple enemies, same with my daughter. She shouldn’t have gone out unprotected. I’m just finished,” Mr. Williams said, with his hands on the desk.“One thing I believe is that Norah won’t be hurt. Whoever has done this will face the consequences,” Lucas assured Mr. Williams.“I am not after the consequences, as you have said. What I need now is my daughter. Lucas, make an urgent trace of where my daughter is,” Mr. Williams said with a worried face.“Don’t worry, Mr. Williams. I know she is your daughter, but as her husband, I feel her disappearance more than you. I am doing my best to get information on where she is,” Lucas added.“Norah can’t act so stupidly. What

    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.

    "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.

    “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

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.
