It seemed like a new dawn for Jake and his allies after Dorothy had been imprisoned. Jake felt a huge sense of relief after everything that had happened and finally felt at peace. He was tired but couldn't help thinking back to the tough time he had with his stepmother. He even chuckled to himself thinking about her strong personality. Despite Dorothy's persistent efforts to challenge him, Jake stayed strong and committed to doing what he believed was right.As he reflected on his strength, Jake's thoughts turned to his father. He could almost hear his father's voice in his mind, proud and encouraging. Jake knew that if his father were alive to witness this moment, he would be overflowing with pride. The thought of his father brought a pang of longing; he missed him now more than ever. How he wished his father could see how things had unfolded—the darkness that had consumed his wife, and the light of resilience that had grown within his son."Jake, I was hoping you could partner with
Alex’s mind raced in a whirlwind of terror and disbelief as he stumbled upon Maya’s lifeless body at his doorpost. The sight was a harrowing nightmare made real—her once-vibrant form was now motionless and cold. The scary message written next to her, "You are next," made him feel scared, like something bad was going to happen. His heart was beating so fast as he ran to the police station, feeling like something terrible was about to happen. Despite the icy grip of fear, he was certain of the dark hand behind this atrocity: Dorothy. Though she was imprisoned, Alex knew her malevolent influence reached far beyond her cell. His usual bravado in the face of injustice seemed futile now; this threat was a monster beyond his previous battles. Desperation clawed at him as he burst through the station doors, his voice trembling with raw fear. “He begged the officer at the front desk, saying, "Please, I don't want to die!" His face showed a mix of fear and desperation.The policeman at the fron
The grand halls of the Wallace Grand mansion lay shrouded in an eerie silence, the absence of Enoch Wallace, the patriarch of the family, casting a heavy, somber atmosphere. Jake, the youngest heir of the Wallace dynasty, sat alone in the opulent parlor, his eyes fixed on the well-worn armchair that had once belonged to his father. He ran his fingers over the intricately carved wooden arms, and a rush of memories flooded his mind.Jake's gaze drifted to the nearby mini library, where he had spent countless evenings with his father, listening to stories from beloved books. He rose from his seat, his footsteps echoing through the cavernous room, and walked towards the library.

As he entered the library, the musty scent of old parchment and ink enveloped him, transporting him back to a time when life was simpler.Jake's fingers grazed the spines of the books, each one a
Tension hung heavy in the air, magnified by the echoing creak of the floorboards as Sam, the family head driver, made his entrance. Every step he took reverberated through the cavernous space, drawing all eyes to his purposeful stride toward Dorothy. With an unmistakable air of formality, he presented her with a sealed envelope, his urgency palpable in the way he delivered it."The documents from Mr. Grin, ma'am," he announced, his voice solemn and measured. Dorothy, the respected leader of the family, swiftly retrieved the envelope and skillfully broke the seal. As she examined the documents inside, a subtle smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing the astuteness hidden beneath her calm facade.Dorothy's voice carried a hint of satisfaction as she instructed Sam to convey her gratitude to Mr. Grin, her gaze never leaving the spread of papers before her. Sam acknowledged her instruction with a subtle nod, turned on his heel, and made his exit from the hall, leaving behind a
As Jake descended the semi-spiral stairs, each step echoing softly in the cavernous lobby, he spotted Dorothy ascending towards him. The dim light filtering through stained glass windows cast an eerie glow on their faces as they met on the stairs, their paths intersecting like fate's gentle nudge."Dorothy," Jake's voice cut through the quiet, his tone laced with concern and a hint of urgency. "The change in the company's signatory...it's been done without our knowledge or consent."He paused on the steps, his brow furrowing with worry lines. "Not even a whisper from the lawyer to guide us through this unexpected turn."His eyes, flickering with frustration and apprehension, searched Dorothy's face for any sign of reassurance or understanding amidst the uncertainty that now clouded their path.But her serene demeanor seemed untouched by the weight of his concerns. With a gentle yet commanding gesture, Dorothy raised a hand, halting Jake's words in their tracks."I now oversee everythi
After the usual family members meeting and Dorothy's post is now official, all heads of departments sat in the conference room in expectance of a very important meeting with some investors. Jake was seen going through some documents with a troubled facial expression, his brow furrowed in deep concentration as he meticulously sifted through the papers. The scent of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the hum of electronic devices and the soft rustle of papers being shuffled. The cool air-conditioned air seemed to vibrate with tension as the department heads awaited the arrival of the investors, their eyes flicking towards the door with anticipation.A group of investors was seen heading towards the conference room at the luxurious penthouse office, their polished leather shoes echoing off the marble floors.

Dorothy's heart raced as she rushed out of her office, into the chaos. What she saw made her blood run cold...A group of protesters, armed with signs and determination, had stormed the building, demanding justice for the families evicted from the Nirvana estate. They accused Wallace Investment and Properties of greed and corruption, and of prioritizing profits over people. Dorothy's eyes scanned the crowd, searching for a leader, a face to confront.

"Ah, Victor," Dorothy said, her voice laced with a mix of relief and wariness. "I wasn't expecting you so soon."Victor, a ruthless and cunning businessman, was Dorothy's secret partner and financier. He had a reputation for getting what he wanted, no matter the cost."I heard rumors of a little protest," Victor said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I thought it was time to... meditate."Dorothy's eyes narrowed, sensing the danger that lurked beneath Victor's polished exterior. She knew she had to tread carefully or risk losing everything she had worked for.As Victor strode into the building, the protesters parted, their eyes fixed on him with a mix of fear and suspicion. Alex, however, stood firm, his gaze locked on Victor with a fierce determination."You're not welcome here," Alex said, his voice firm.Victor chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, I think I am. You see, I have a... vested interest in this company. And I won't let anyone stand in my way."His words spla
