Janelle looked round her surrounding. Well there was no one around.

"Father, father am coming to you. I don't like it here any more. I just... I just want to see you again. Tell me my coming to you would mean something. And I wouldn't have to suffer like this when am with you?" Janelle asked no one in particular.

"Daddy, why didn't you protect me and why am I being wronged? I miss you so much. I miss you." Janelle sobbed.

"I guess we would finally be together."

She was about to jump when someone grabbed her hands.

"Don't!" Charles said sternly.

"Let me go, just let me go." Janelle yelled.

"Hey kid, you can't just go on killing yourself." Charles said.

"What do you care? Just let me go." Janelle said trying to get Charles' hands off of hers.

Charles pulled her from the edge. Janelle struggled to free herself but Charles' grip was tight.

Janelle passed out and Charles asked his men to take her to the hospital and he would be there when he was done with something.

    "Yeah, I wished you did too. Maybe then your mom would have believed you." Theodore said. "Don't even bother, my mom is so unreasonable these days. They'd all just claim since he wasn't paying attention to my advances I just wanted to kill him and be over it." Janelle said and Theodore touched her head. "Let's stop talking about them." Theodore said. "You're right." Janelle nodded. "So, other than the fact that you decide to be open with me I wanted to take you out today. Would you go on a date with me?"

    Theodore felt like slapping his friend from the other side of the phone. "Hey, I want to talk to you, it's very important." Theodore said seriously. "Oh, I didn't know this was an official call." Jasper said. "That's because you didn't let me speak. Anyway, I need you to check something for me." Theodore said. "What is it?" Jasper asked. "Dalia, she came to your bar to get something." Theodore said. "What is it?" "I think a temporary membership. I need you to check it out from your manager." Theodore said. "Okay, am on it." Jasper said soon he got the information Theodore requested. "So this temporary membership, she isn't exactly the person that would use it." Jasper said. "Then why go through... Okay, listen to me I need you to keep a close eye on that room. Or give me access to that room's security feeds I want to see what Dalia is up to." Theodore said. "Hey, just focus on your trip. I'll handle it and I promise when you get back you would see whatever it is you want to

    "Fine, do it your way. But hey, why are you so intent on keeping a close eye on Dalia? Okay, other than the fact that she poisoned Karina like you told me why else?" Jasper asked. He wanted to know why Theodore was suspicious of Dalia's movements. Other than what they already know."That witch killed my mother." Theodore said. "What?" Jasper asked confused."Yes, I have a hunch she has something to do with my mother's death. I know you'd say it just speculations and there's no proof of what am saying but I would find proof and I would send Dalia to jail for killing my mother and for poisoning Karina." Theodore said. "I would help however way I can." Jasper assured. "Thank you, but I still have to keep a close eye on Dalia, and probably Albert too." Theodore said. "Why Albert?" Jasper asked. "There's something about him, and I still haven't gotten my revenge yet." Theodore added. "Just be careful Theodore, the revenge path is... Terrifying sometimes." Jasper said. "I have to mak

And yes, he might have acted like he didn't care, or maybe he hadn't had the chance to be a father to her but why would she opt him from her invitation list?

    She couldn't believe Theodore bought it for her. Theodore saw her longing stare and he thought the dress would look good on her. She had given up on dressing up really pretty and was used to dressing up like the secretary she was. While she was living with her mom and step father they never let her dress up nice she was always on pants. And even at that Emilia was still jealous of her. She saw a smaller gift box and opened it. It was a beautiful necklace and there was also a card in it. 'Hey, I know you're going to say 'this is too much I can't accept it.' But don't, the necklace isn't a parting gift but of agreeing to be my friend.Let's just say it's a bribe. I'll see you at the office.' The card read and Janelle chuckled.~ The Next Day ~ Janelle arrived at the office with the necklace on her neck. Theodore saw it and smiled. He didn't think she'd really accept it but she did.

    "I guess you finally got revenge for me hitting your bitch of a daughter." Janelle said coldly. Holding her cheeks."Are you ready to leave?" Janelle asked. "You're such an ungrateful daughter.

    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.

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.

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.

    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
