Marcus approached Sandra, who was sitting alone, and cleared his throat to get her attention. She looked up at him with a smile. "Hey," she said, her voice warm."May I sit?" he asked, and she nodded, moving aside to make space for him. He sat down close to her."Thank you for saving me," he said, his voice sincere.She smiled. "It's nothing. You would have done the same if you were in my shoes."He murmured, "I was just being stubborn."Sandra's expression was understanding. "I know it's about your old man, so it's normal to be worried."He held her hands tightly, and she leaned into his shoulder, seeking comfort. Sandra was the one who had advised the team to disobey Marcus, knowing the risks involved. She had warned them about the tycoon lord's ruthless nature, and how only Marcus was unaware of the danger that lay ahead.She was relieved that they had arrived just in time, or else Marcus would have met his demise. Sandra still has feelings for Marcus, but she knew she could neve
The party was amazing! The hall was huge and beautifully decorated with flowers and lights. Many guests were dressed in fancy clothes and jewels, and they were all chatting and laughing. The room was filled with music and the smell of delicious food. There were cameras flashing everywhere as the press took pictures. A red carpet led to the entrance, and fancy cars kept arriving with more guests. Amayah stepped out of the car, her hands crossed over her chest as she walked inside with Owen by her side. She tried to keep a distance from him, her eyes scanning the room in hopes of catching the CEO's attention. A waiter served her a drink, and she sipped it slowly, her eyes darting around the room. Suddenly, she dropped her glass and whispered to Owen, "I'm coming," before standing up and walking away. She had only taken a few steps when she collided with someone, and a drink was spilled all over her chest. "Are you mad?" she exclaimed, looking up to see Marcus standing before her, a

How did the CEO, known for his ruthless business tactics and mysterious wealth, end up standing in front of her, was Marcus? She tried to replay the events leading up to this moment, but her thoughts were a jumbled mess.She rubbed her face, hoping to shake off the shock, but Marcus remained, his smile unwavering. Amayah felt like the floor should swallow her whole, sparing her from this humiliating moment.Amayah's gaze shifted to Owen, whose eyes were wide with shock, mirroring her own disbelief. She let out a weary sigh, rubbing the back of her neck, her mind reeling with questions. How did she not suspect Marcus's wealth after their encounter at the club? “Or did Owen lie to me about the fake tran
Amayah's eyes widened in horror as she stared at the notification on her phone, her heart racing with fear. Owen's message was clear: comply with his plan, or face the consequences of her nude photo being shared online. "You're wicked, Owen!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger and despair. Owen's chuckle was cold and calculating, his words dripping with malice. "I never said I was a saint." Amayah's world was crumbling around her. She felt trapped and betrayed, her mind reeling with the weight of Owen's blackmail. As she slumped to the floor, overcome with emotion, Owen slammed the door shut behind him, leaving her alone, she used her hands to cover her face. Her scream echoed through the room.Amayah's thoughts were consumed by regret and sorrow as she lamented her past choices. She wondered how she had been so blinded by Owen's charm and wealth, failing to see the true nature of his character. She thought about Marcus, the man she had left behind, and how he had promi
Her father knelt down, grasping Sandra's legs, and begged, "Please, Sandra, forgive me." But she scoffed, "I only beg when I'm wrong, and I'm not the one who made a mistake here." He pleaded, "Let's start all over again, Sandra. Let's fix this." But Sandra shook her head, her voice laced with bitterness. "You think it's that simple? Can I go back to being a baby and crawl again? Can you go back in time and be there for my birthday, which you missed?" Her father shook his head, defeated. "I know it's hard, but let it go. Let's start fresh," he begged once more. Sandra's response was a bitter laugh. "You're lucky I'm your daughter," she said, her words dripping with pain and resentment.Sandra's words cut deep, her pain and anger palpable. She continued, her voice laced with bitterness: "I would have thrown you out, but I'm stuck with you. I used to see other kids spending quality time with their fathers, learning valuable life lessons, but you... you were too busy chasing power
Marcus leaned against the doorframe, his body language exuding irritation. "What are you doing here?" he asked gruffly. Amayah immediately dropped to her knees, her eyes pleading for mercy. "Please, Marcus, I'm sorry. I know what I did was wrong. Forgive me," she begged, her voice cracking with emotion. But Marcus was unforgiving, his anger and hurt still fresh. "Can you even listen to yourself?" he snapped, his voice rising. "How did you have the audacity to show up here after what you've done?" He shook his head, his eyes blazing with anger. Amayah grasped his legs, her tears flowing uncontrollably. "Please, forgive me. I wasn't thinking." But Marcus's response was laced with pain and bitterness. "You weren't thinking when you aborted my child?" he asked, his voice heavy with accusation. "I was doing what I thought was best for us, Marcus," Amayah pleaded, her voice trembling. "We didn't have money, and I didn't want to bring a child into this world to suffer." But Marcus's e
"What's what?” Marcus asked, his tone nonchalant. "I only asked you to be my maid." Amayah shook her head, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Nothing, it's just..." She trailed off, hesitant to reveal her true thoughts. Marcus's expression turned stern. "Deal or no deal?" he asked, his voice firm. Amayah's heart raced as she nodded, swallowing hard. "Deal." She needed to go through with her plan. Marcus nodded curtly, his expression unyielding. "Good." He turned and walked away, leaving Amayah to follow him, her bag dragging on the floor. She stumbled, almost falling, but Marcus didn't offer a helping hand. He pushed open a door, revealing a stark, empty room. "This is your room," he said, his voice detached. Amayah's eyes widened in shock. "Is this where I will be sleeping?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The room was devoid of furniture. "That's what I said," Marcus repeated, his irritation evident. "There's no bed." Amayah stuttered, her eyes wide with d

How come you're telling me this now? Do you know what this means?" he thundered, his voice echoing off the walls.Emma Jones is from a powerful family. She's the heiress, and her family knew about Marcus's origin. They've been hiding it all these years.The man's anger turned to fury, his mind racing with the implications.

"What do we do, sir?" he asked, his voice laced with urgency.The man stopped pacing and turned to face him, his eyes cold and calc
