Norah felt pity on Mr Andrew. " I would have let you go without a penny, my gracious heart has decided to favor you with this little token, a cheque of 300 thousand dollars. That will help you." She handed it over to him." How can this sustain me? Please, I need my job back." Mr Andrew cried out." You acted so foolish. Please leave my office." She commanded him. Mr Andrew returns back to Serangoon while Norah maintains her office. On the other hand, Mr Dickson walked into his son's room." Good day father." Thomas greeted, with a sad look." There is nothing good about the day. You always ruin my plans." Mr Dickson replied to him." How, on what way did I contribute to that.?" Thomas asked curiously." I spoke with Mr Williams, where he told me about Norah." He was cut short by his son." She caught me having sex with my secretary in my office, isn't it.?" Thomas asked." What. Norah caught you making love with your secretary in your office.?" Mr Dickson asked with a surprised loo

Whatever it is I will do to make you happy." She replied to him." I found a land where I would like to set up my business." He replied to her." You still love your chef business.?" Norah asked him." Yes, and when I inquired about its owner. I was told you own it." He replied to her." Which of the land in particular.?" Norah asked him. Lucas described the land location to her." Oh! She exclaimed. " I have something bigger to offer to you.The land you describe is yours, I purchased it with your name. But realized, you need a better life than going back with your formal business as a chef." She replied to him so darlingly." That is all I know how to do best." He answered." Alright. I have a surprise for you." She answered him. And stretched her hands, towards the table where she had kept her phone." Do yo
Mr Williams after a long hour waiting, decided to leave Norah compound." I will be leaving right now, while the two of you wait behind. Make sure, Norah and the bastard boy are found." Mr Williams, pointed at his two bodyguards he had chosen to wait behind.He left angrily back, in a hotel where he had a lodge for the night." I think my father has left. Come out." Norah, slowly said to Lucas. They both looked from the dog cage window." The old man guards are waiting. He must have asked them to do so." She said to Lucas, thinking about what to do." While you must risk your life for me. You have done more than what a lover could do to her partner. I think it is the right time to allow you to enjoy the decision made by your father. You can't keep taking such a risk on my behalf." Lucas replied to her.Norah, holding his hands, looked into Lucas eye and coldly said to him," I don't want to die with you, I don't care what the world would call this. Why I care must is you. I love you "
Mr Williams suddenly called on his bodyguards to return home, while he had taken the available flight back to Serangoon." Mr Williams.!" Mr Dickson visited Mr Williams in his office, with a smiling face." Wooo! Mr Williams exclamed with smile as well. " Please have a seat." Mr William offered him a seat." What going on, I am not seeing nor hearing positive outcome on your persistence in seeing that my son married your daughter. She seem to be hard on this,, isn't it.?" Mr Dickson asked, crossing his right leg on the left.Mr William breathed down and replied him." I think she need somet time. Remember it will be so difficult to convince her on this. But have my word as usual, I will do all I can to see that Shee accept your son." " Remember, the contract remains yiuurs once this is achieved. I need someone like Norah who can help my son in his unresisted behavior. " " I learnt the insult he gave to himself the day Norah paid him a surprise visit. What do you think about it.?" Mr

Babe, would you like me to take you to the other part of life, where we both will get to enjoy the most.?" Xavier speaking so romantic." As long as it makes you happy and will give me the confident that I have met with the love of my life. I have no choice than to accept it." She accepted. Going through her message which comes from well wishes, who have be sending lot of messages congratulating her for Renee for her concluded wedding."

" What exactly does my sees in him that have prompted him into this?" " I can't wait to make rubbishes of Thomas. '' Norah, spoke wisely, as she watched her father and Thomas walking into the sitting room.Thomas walked in with Mr Williams." Wooo! " You are right. Mr Williams." Thomas exclaimed as he got sure of Norah's present." What are you doing here.?" Norah pointed at Thomas." Calm down daughter, he is just entering the sitting room, while not offering him a chair and something to eat, before going that long way in asking him such a question.?" Mr Williams asked Norah with a smile on his face." Father, you are not after my happiness, but my sadness. How do you expec
"Please don't arm me. I will show you were he is." Jessica pleaded with Thomas. And led him to Lucas room, on opening the door, they were both surprised." He was here." Jessica pointed around the room." Don't take me for a child. If you do I will make nonsense of you." Thomas Replied her." I am sure, this was where I met with him this morning, we mistakenly hit each other. I can't believe that he is not here." Jessica, speaking aloud." Don't joke with me, get me Lucas now." Thomas shouted at her. Jessica screamed aloud that drew the security man's attention." Eh! Thomas called him, as he was about to run back to his position." Where is Lucas.?" Thomas asked the security man aggressively." I saw him leaving with his bag, about an hour ago." He replied." What, get him, go after him."

By then, Vera had gone to work and her little baby to school." Babe, can we talk later.?" Xavier replied to her." Why my love, this is two days now you have spoken to each other. What is really wrong." She asked him." Alright, how is home and everyone there." He reluctantly asked." Everyone is fine. Are you not missing me.?" She asked him." Babe, I am missing you a lot, I can't do without you, I love you with all my heart, just that I am occupied at work this time." He lied." Babe you can't be busy with the woman you claimed to love. What is really the problem, you have been avoiding me for days. What is wrong.?" She asked him more deeply." You know how busy I can be at work, that's why I haven't called or replied to your messages. Nevertheless, I will be returning home tomorrow." He answered her." Wooo tha
"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
