Theodore and Janelle arrived at Karina's house. Nanny Helen walked up to Theodore and he hugged her. "Hi nanny." He smiled brightly. "I missed you a lot my dear." Helen said. "Yeah, I feel your absence too. Where Rina?" Theodore asked. "She's in her room should I call her?" Helen asked. "No, I'll go upstairs and see her." Theodore said. "Who is she?" Helen asked."Oh nanny this is Janelle Ryder my secretary. Janelle this is nanny Helen she's like a mother to me." Theodore introduced. "It's nice to meet you Miss." Helen said. "Thank you ma'am, it's nice to meet you too." Janelle said with a smile. Theodore asked Janelle to wait down stairs and he would be there soon. He knocked on Karina's door and she asked him to come in. "Hey Rina." "You're here." Karina smiled getting up. She didn't think he would be here earlier than he said he would. "Yeah... But am not here alone." Theodore said unsure of what to say next. "What? Right you said you were with someone who was it?" Ka
"Yes, we know. Come on brother loosen up." Chloe said with a frown. "I have something important to do tomorrow, so I can't have my employees on a hangover phase." Theodore said. "Well the boss has spoken, we dare not challenge him." Ivan joked."Don't make me look like the devil. I have a lot on my plate tomorrow and guys you know what." Theodore glared. "Fine, we wouldn't drink alcohol happy?" Ivan asked."Yes, very." Theodore replied. "Okay, if chugging it down isn't our punishment for not answering a question or fulfilling a task what would be the punishment then?" Chloe asked. "Making out?" Jasper suggested. "Don't be absurd Jasper." Theodore glared. "I like the idea." Chloe said. "Guys seriously don't be such a tease and this isn't a joke. You guys should pick a calm punishment." Theodore said. "How about a flick on the head." Derrick suggested. "God Derrick are you trying to have someone killed? My beautiful face and head shouldn't be touched by anyone got it?" Chloe g
"Huh?" Janelle asked surprised. "Don't worry, I'll explained why I choose them both. My sister of course, her safety matters most to me. And Janelle..." Everyone anticipated why Theodore said he would save Janelle and he finally spoke."My dad might just kill me if he learns I had the opportunity to save two people and I couldn't save Janelle." Theodore replied. Janelle sighed in relief in her heart. Well he only said he would save her not because he likes her or anything. "So does that mean I get to ask a question?" Theodore asked. "Yeah." Chloe nodded. "Okay, Mary Truth or Dare?" Theodore asked. "Truth." Mary replied. "Weren't you the one complaining about why was everyone picking truth?" Theodore asked. "Just this once besides you wouldn't be able to say a nice dare so I'd rather pick truth." Mary said. "Okay, what's the wildest you've ever gotten?" Theodore asked."Sleeping with a stranger in his car, it was a one time fun." Mary replied. "My God, all this time I never
Theodore was about to head toward the couch but Janelle's words made him stop. He turned to face her but was surprised about how close they were. Janelle lost her footing and in the course of saving her they both fell on the bed with Theodore a top her. The duo kept staring at each other until Janelle got a grip of herself. "Get off of me." She said awkwardly. "Oh my God, am so sorry." Theodore said straightening himself up. "I'll sleep on the couch and that's final." Theodore said. Theodore wondered what had gotten into him and why he stayed in that awkward position with Janelle for more than a minute. But then again, he thought maybe he hadn't been touched by a woman in a while. And that kind of made him lose his focus for a little while. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves but Janelle's next words made his heart skip a beat. "Let's share the bed.""Huh?" Theodore asked with a surprised and confused expression. "Yeah, I mean... Mary had a point, if you don't have anyt
Karina opened her eyes as she heard what Theodore said. He chuckled when he saw her curious face and pecked both her cheeks."I mean it, throw a grand party for your official come back." Theodore said with a smile. "You really think so?" Karina asked."Mm." He nodded. "Would you be there?" Karina asked. "But of course, I'll be your greatest supporter even if I don't know a thing about women's clothing." Theodore said. "That's not true, I believe you have such great taste." Karina said. "Aw, thanks." Theodore chuckled. "I have to go now, I need to get ready for work." Theodore said. "Wouldn't you have breakfast with me?" Karina asked."I can't am on a clock, I love you." Theodore said pecking her cheeks. He left with Janelle after that. "Good morning guys." Karina greeted with a smile. "Morning, hope you slept well?" Chloe asked. "Yeah, I did." Karina replied. "How about you?" She asked. "Well I slept well, Ivan was just a bit uncomfortable with sleeping on the same bed
At the Brantley enterprise, Robert kept getting bad news. He was so upset and what ruined his mood more was the fact that a board meeting was immediately called. He was thinking of ways to solve his current predicament and the board of directors just made it worse. "What's the meaning of this?" Robert asked angrily as he walked into the room. "That very question should be directed back to you Robert." One of the board members said fearlessly. "Am very well aware that you know that our stocks are hitting rock bottom right? Or was this just my imagination?" Another asked. "Well it isn't, and I can't put my finger on how either." Robert half yelled. "Yelling at us wouldn't bring a solution, and all this is happening because of that second son of yours." Violet another board member added. "He is not my second son, he is my only son." Robert said."Of course, am not too surprised that that's all you could yield." Violet taunted."Violet!.." Robert yelled. "Yelling at her wouldn't d
Albert's head was spinning when he heard Robert say they didn't have proof that Theodore was the one attacking their company. "Dad are you really that dense? Trusting Theodore that he wouldn't take down the company?" Albert asked. "Am just saying we have no proof yet. And the person behind this should be your secondary worry. What you should be worried about right now is finding a way of getting us out of our current situation." Robert said."Fine I'll make some calls. And you shouldn't think that Theodore is still your son. Because from his threat at the party... He looks like someone ready to bury us." Albert said walking out of Robert's office. "I can't believe Albert made that deal without my permission and now look what it's costing us." Robert sighed and Dalia helped him sit. "Robert, Albert is right. And if Theodore is really the one trying to ruin us, then... Then there's no telling what he could do. Or how far he would go." Dalia said. "Honey, we need to find a way to so
Ivan sometimes wonders how Theodore's minds works. The smile on his face made his shudder. Although he was Theodore's friend for a few years now he sometimes doesn't get him. "Ah, also scheduled a meeting with Trey." Theodore said."What?" Ivan asked surprised. "Just do it will you? Tell him it's me and he mustn't see Albert first or the meeting is automatically cancelled." Theodore instructed. "Yes boss."Theodore continued his work till his secretary walked in. "Mr Wyatt." Janelle called out. "Ah, Miss Ryder what is it?" Theodore asked. "It's time to make reservations for lunch... Where..." Janelle was about asking where he wanted to have his dinner when he cut her. "Order something for two and send it to my office. Oh and after the delivery is made come in, I want to have a word." Theodore instructed. "Okay, Mr Wyatt. Ah what should I tell..." "Yes?" Theodore asked. "I mean what should I order?" Janelle asked. "Order according to your preference." Theodore said nonchala
~ Six Years Later ~ The estate was alive with the hum of conversation, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. Golden lights twinkled against the dark sky, and the melodic strains of a live orchestra filled the air. Theodore stood at the entrance, greeting guests with Janelle by his side, her smile as radiant as the diamond necklace she wore."Theodore, my man!" Jasper exclaimed, clasping his best friend’s shoulder. "Look at you. Hosting a party like this it’s like something out of a movie." Jasper said.Theodore chuckled. "It’s been a long time coming. But tonight isn't just about me. It’s about all of us." Theodore said. "You’ve earned it, Theo." Ivan added, shaking his hand firmly. "Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise." "Says the guy who eloped with his girlfriend. Got married to her and came back with their first child." Jasper glared. "Well what can I say." Ivan said. From the corner of his eye, Theodore spotted Nathalie and Miles walking in, hand in hand. Nathalie gave a

They faced hardships together, scraping by day by day. Despite their struggles, Leo’s mother always encouraged him to be kind, to work hard, and to never give up on the good in people.But life was cruel. His mother passed away when he was barely out of his teens, leaving him orphaned and lost. Those dark times forged Leo into a man of grit and determination. He vowed to never be the kind of person who abandoned those he loved.When the Wyatts entered his life, they gave him a purpose. Charles Wyatt saw potential in the young man and offered him a chance to rebuild his life. Leo trained hard, proving his loyalty time and again, becoming one of the most trusted members of the Wyatt family.

A year after Theodore and Janelle’s joyous wedding and the arrival of their triplets, Karina found herself reflecting on her own life. Her fashion company, K.B., had skyrocketed in popularity, and her latest brand was garnering critical acclaim. She had poured her heart into her career, but as she watched her brother thrive as a husband and father, a small longing began to grow in her heart.One evening, after a long day at work, Derrick surprised her with a quiet dinner at their favorite restaurant."You’ve been working so hard." Derrick said, pouring her a glass of wine. "I admire that about you, Karina. But don’t you think it’s time we talked about... us?" Derrick asked. Karina paused, looking up at him. "What do you mean?" Derrick smiled, taking her hand. "I love you, Karina. I’ve loved you since the day we met. I want us to start our own chapter. Settle down. Build something together." Derrick said. "Of course, I don't want to rush you I need you to think about it." Derrick
Leo found himself visiting Becky and Belle more frequently. While his duties as Theodore’s bodyguard remained a top priority, he carved out time to nurture this new connection. Becky was hesitant at first, unsure of how deeply she wanted Leo involved in her and Belle’s lives, but Leo’s genuine care and persistence began to break down her reservations.One sunny afternoon, Leo invited Becky and Belle to a nearby park. It was a rare day off for him, and he wanted to spend it with them.Belle was ecstatic, running ahead to the playground while Leo and Becky strolled behind her."She’s got so much energy." Leo remarked with a smile, watching Belle climb onto the swings."She always does." Becky replied, laughing. Then, more seriously, she added."You don’t have to do this, you know. Spending time with us. We’re fine on our own. We're not really your family you know." Leo stopped walking and turned to face her."I’m not doing this because I have to, Becky. I’m doing it because I want to.
Theodore Wyatt stood at the altar, his hands clasped tightly in front of him, the faintest sheen of nervous energy radiating from his otherwise calm demeanor. Today was the day he would marry Janelle, the woman who had transformed his life in ways he never imagined. Around him, the grand but understated chapel glowed with soft sunlight streaming through stained-glass windows, illuminating the tasteful floral arrangements of white lilies and blush roses.He glanced briefly at the first row, where their three children and their nanny sat. A son and two daughters. Fatherhood had come unexpectedly, but he wouldn't trade it for anything. It wasn't just that he loved Janelle with all his heart; it was the family they’d built together that gave his life its deepest meaning."You ready for this, Theo?" Jasper whispered from his side, smirking as he adjusted his tie. As Theodore’s best man, Jasper had spent the morning both calming Theodore’s nerves and cracking jokes at his expense."More tha
Meanwhile, The night was alive with soft music, sparkling lights, and laughter as Janelle celebrated her bachelorette party. Unlike Theodore’s slightly chaotic bachelor bash, Janelle’s evening was elegant and charming just like her. Held in a private room at a chic rooftop restaurant, the gathering was intimate, attended by her closest friends and, of course, Karina, Theodore’s mischievous little sister, who had taken it upon herself to ensure the night wasn't too serious."Oh my gosh, Janelle, this place is perfect." Chloe said, twirling her cocktail glass and admiring the skyline. "You really know how to keep it classy." "I didn't plan this!" Janelle laughed, motioning toward Karina. "This was all her doing. And her brother's." Karina beamed, raising her glass of sparkling water. "What can I say? I have a gift for aesthetics." She turned to Mary with a wink. "And a gift for causing just the right amount of trouble.""Uh-oh." Mary said, laughing. "What did you do?" She asked.
The private lounge buzzed with energy as Theodore Wyatt and his closest friends celebrated his bachelor party. The room, a sophisticated mix of dark leather and ambient lighting, was alive with laughter, banter, and just the right amount of mischief. Jasper and Kyle Theodore’s self-proclaimed “partners in crime” had commandeered the night’s agenda, ensuring there wouldn't ’t be a dull moment. Meanwhile, Ivan and Derrick played the role of slightly more responsible spectators, though they were just as invested in making the night memorable."Alright, Theo." Jasper said, sprawling in his chair and twirling a half-empty glass of whiskey. His grin was pure mischief. "This is it, man. Your last night of freedom. Any regrets?" Theodore raised an eyebrow, smirking as he sipped his drink. "Regrets? You sound like I’m walking into a life sentence." Kyle leaned forward, pointing dramatically at Theodore. "Because you are. No more late nights out with the boys, no more spontaneous road trip
Theodore could barely contain his excitement as the days passed. He and Janelle were on the brink of welcoming their first child or so they thought. What Janelle didn't ’t know was that Theodore was meticulously planning their wedding behind the scenes. He wanted the event to be perfect, yet stress-free for Janelle, knowing how much her health and the baby's safety meant to her."You’re glowing." Theodore whispered one evening, wrapping an arm around her as they sat on the couch.Janelle smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "I’m just happy. Everything feels so perfect right now. We've prepared the everything to welcome our baby." Janelle said. Theodore kissed her forehead, hiding his grin. If only she knew what he had in store."But of course, we need to make our baby happy. And I want us to be happy as well." On a crisp autumn morning, Janelle went into labor earlier than expected. Theodore was by her side throughout, holding her hand and reassuring her as the hours passed.F
Leo stood before Theodore in the study, his usual stoic demeanor slightly softened. "Sir, I’d like to request a day off." he said, his voice calm but carrying a note of urgency.Theodore arched a brow, intrigued. Leo rarely asked for time off unless it was absolutely necessary. "A day off? That’s not like you, Leo. What’s the occasion?" Theodore asked casually. Leo hesitated, then replied. "I want to visit my family. It’s been a while, and I need to check in on them." Theodore studied him for a moment. Something about Leo’s tone felt off, but Theodore decided not to push. "Alright, you’ve earned it. Take the day.""Thank you, sir." Leo said, bowing slightly before turning to leave.As soon as Leo exited, Theodore leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Leo wasn't the type to lie outright, but there was something peculiar about his request. Theodore picked up his phone and made a quick call to one of his trusted men."Follow him." Theodore instructed. "I want to know where he
