Gracia's car came to a halt, and after he emerged from it, he barged into the living room without any warning, his face contorting in an expression of panic. He stumbled as he walked and fell onto the couch next to his mother-in-law, breathing heavily.Charlotte jumped up because she was startled by his sudden appearance. "Gracia, what's wrong?" she asked, looking at him with concern.Gracia looked up at her and tried to speak, but he only stammered and gasped for air. "Ma..." he managed to say after a few exhausting seconds."Gracia, please calm down and tell us what's wrong," his wife urged.Gracia took a few deep breaths and tried to steady himself. "It's Dave," he said, his voice trembling. "We're in trouble."Amelia and Charlotte exchanged worried glances. "What kind of trouble?" Amelia asked, her voice laced with concern.Gracia looked at her, his eyes wild. "I never thought of it, And it hurt. Badly hurt," he said, panting as he spoke.Charlotte and Amelia were both alarmed by t
"The doctor walked out on me." Madam Charlotte muttered to herself in a confused way.She took a step and was about to call the doctor back when Amelia asked when the medicine was needed."He said anytime from now, or else he's going to lose his life."Madam Charlotte glanced at her wrist watch and blurted out"It's getting late; what should we do now?" She asked, and Emily answered with tears."I don't know where to get this money from. I lost my job because I couldn't be accepted by Dave in his company.""Don't mention that thing; he's just acting high. Concentrate on the money we are to pay now." Madam Charlotte screamed in annoyance."Mom,your company was being mishandled by Nelson, and you lost your chances to withdraw money from your bank account. What could we do next?Amelia asked her Mom with a hint of sadness and concern."Don't worry, Amelia; my other company is still on its knees. I will call and instruct my manager to transfer money to me now." She said this and took a dee
Dave was busy having a conversation with one of the workers when Amelia walked in. He looked up as she approached, and his face twisted into a sneer."Well, well, well. Look who's back," he said with a smirk.Amelia took a deep breath and pushed her pride aside. "Dave, I want to apologize for the way I treated you in the past. I was a terrible person, and I know that I hurt you. I'm here to make things right, if you'll let me."Dave raised an eyebrow and studied her for a moment before speaking. "You think an apology is going to make things right? Do you have any idea what you put me through?"Amelia shook her head. "I know I was wrong, Dave. I just want a chance to make amends."Dave laughed mockingly. "Make amends? like taking me out for dinner? Giving me a million bucks? Don't make me laugh. You think you can just stroll in here after all these years and make up for everything? You've got another thing coming, Amelia."Tears welled up in Amelia's eyes. She knew how hard it was for D
Emily's hand shook as she held the phone to her ear. She couldn't stop crying, and her breathing was ragged. She tried to force herself to speak, but every time she opened her mouth, sobs wracked her body.Amelia could hear the fear in Emily's voice through the phone, and she knew something was horribly wrong. She was about to start her car when she heard her sister's voice, and the tears in her eyes began to form."What's the problem, Emily?" Amelia asked, her heart beating fast in fear."Gra..." Emily couldn't complete her sentence when she started crying again. The line on the phone went silent, and Amelia could hear her sister's breathing up and down on the phone. She had never heard Emily so distraught before."What's wrong with Gracia, sis?" Amelia said it in a hurry."My husband is dead," Emily said, her voice barely audible above her sobs.Amelia was stunned and couldn't believe her ears. "What?" she yelled. She couldn't get over the thought of her sister's husband passing away
What happened when you went to the company? Amelia wiped her tears and asked impatiently."That's my end; it's such a shame to the family ?"Madam Charlotte spoke with a straight eye and kept shaking her thighs."Mom,what do you mean it's such a shame? Please talk to us." Emily said, looking at her Mom with her puffy eyes.Amelia sat nervously on the couch, watching her mother, who seemed lost in her thoughts. Concerned by her mom's distress, Amelia gathered the courage to inquire again: "Mom, please talk to me. What's wrong?"Madam Charlotte looked up, her eyes swollen from tears. "It's just... something terrible happened at my company today," she finally confessed.Worried, Amelia took her mom's hand in hers and said, "Whatever it is, we'll face it together. Please tell me what happened."Madam Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath."There has been a breach of company policy." Dave is now the owner of the company I once owed."Amelia's heart beats so fast. She kne
Alexander Cromwell walked into his luxurious office, his steps heavy as he made his way towards his leather chair. He fell into the seat and let out a deep sigh, his mind racing with thoughts and concerns."Shit, shit, Nelson too has been caught by Dave's inspectors." He muttered under his breath, slamming his hands onto the polished table.His guard, who had been standing in the corner of the room, flinched at the sudden outburst and looked at Cromwell with a mix of concern and fear. "Is everything okay, sir?" he asked hesitantly.Cromwell glared at him, his eyes burning with an intense fire. "No, everything is not okay! Do you have any idea what this means for us? We're on the brink of disaster."He stood up from his chair and began pacing back and forth, his mind racing with different ideas and strategies. "We need to do something, and we need to do it fast," he muttered to himself.His guard watched him silently, unsure of what to do or say. Cromwell was known to be a ruthless busi
Madam Veronica sat down beside her daughter, Issabella, who was busy using her phone in the living room. "Issabella, have you heard the latest news?" she asked.Issabella looked up from her phone and raised an eyebrow. "What news, Mom?""Well, I heard that Madam Charlotte's company has been taken away from her," Madam Veronica said, her voice hushed. "And to make matters worse, her bank has gone bankrupt."Issabella's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did that happen?" she asked."I'm not sure. All I know is that she's lost everything," Madam Veronica replied. "And that's not all. Her son-in-law has also been caught up in some scandal."Issabella frowned in concern. "That's terrible. I can't imagine how she must be feeling right now.""I know. It's heartbreaking," Madam Veronica agreed. "But you know what's even more concerning? The fact that this could happen to anyone It's a reminder that we always need to be diligent with our finances and make sure we're not putting all our eggs in
Dave groggily woke up from sleep, his mind slowly piecing together the fact that it was a new day. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and scanned the room, taking in the familiar surroundings of his bedroom. The sunlight trickled through the blinds, finally illuminating the coffee table where his phone lay. He picked it up and saw a missed call from his assistant, reminding him of his early morning appointment at the prison.He groaned, knowing it was going to be a long day. As he stretched, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee passed through the air, and he knew Jessica was already up, preparing his usual coffee.He went to the kitchen and with a smile, he greeted her."Thank you maiden," Dave said, a smile spreading across his face. Jessica excused herself and resumed her tasks, moving quietly around the room.Dave sat at the breakfast table, savoring the rich, bitter taste of his coffee. As he drank, he contemplated his meet
