In a cold moment, after Vera and Xavier have resolved their issue about Evelyn. Xavier had an appointment with Evelyn to meet in a hotel."Finally you have fallen for me."Evelyn with a smile on her face said to him."I pray Vera forgive me for this, but am secretly having feelings for you. Let's do it once, and after that you go."Xavier said to her, with his hands on the bed."Did I look like a prostitute to you that you will have sex once and after that leave.?""I am not a prostitute, and I wont be not even for a day. Alli want from you is to live the rest of my life with you, and when I fail to win your heart I will again focus on Lucas"she concluded. Xavier felt a shock hearing about Lucas Renee ex-husband."Do you also have feelings for him?"He asked her."That is not the matter on ground, just allow me to love you for the rest of my life."Evelyn said to him as she got his attention with her body. "Finally we had sex. "She said to Xavier who was so ashamed of himself after intimac
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
"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
“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
"The battle is over," Xavier said to Lucas."Not yet, not until I have seen both Dickson and Mr. Liam end up in prison," Lucas replied. Unknown to Lucas, Roxanne had gone on with the most dangerous fight in him. He was surprised to hear from his lawyer, Ms. Jessica."What am I hearing from you? 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. 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. "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. "I don't understand you. Where and how did I get to know Mr. Francis? I don't know a name like that. I think there is a mistake somewhere," he answered
Bianca still felt love for Mark. "There is a birthday I would like you to attend with me," Mark said to her. "Really?" she asked him. "Yes," he answered with a smile. Bianca accepted the offer. Meanwhile, it was a setup with Xavier to get her down. The plan commenced. Bianca, who had felt uneasy, left the child with his new nanny and went to dine with Mark. As she walked into the birthday event, there was the sound of music playing. She asked, "Are you sure this is the birthday event?" Mark smiled and answered her, "Yes, this is the birthday event, and soon the celebrant will be out to have a handshake with me as well.""How would the celebrant have a handshake with you here outside when there are so many people to attend to?" she asked him. "You don't need to worry," Mark replied. Before Bianca could say another word, she was already surrounded by a group of police officers. "What is going on here?" she asked, raising her head to the other side of her right hand. "What is the meaning
