It has been a few days since Darren started working for the family and finally the day of the party. He looked at himself through the mirror and sighed, adjusting his clothes. Hoping he wouldn’t cause a scene, and he would be able to get through it smoothly, he walked out of his room, his steps suddenly came to a halt when he saw Nora, who flared her nose and moved closer to him. “No mistake, grandma loves perfection, and you should be able to deliver that, we are not paying you a huge amount of money to mess up.” “I have heard you.” he replied curtly and walked away from her. He went inside the grand hall and was shocked at the massive number of people who had come for the party. The smile on their faces and how they chatted did nothing but anger him, wondering how no one cared about Mr. Reeve's death, not even his family. His hands were fisted beside him as he swore to exact his revenge and get to the root of the matter. “Is that your job?” he suddenly heard the voice of grandm
Darren stared at Grandma, even though he was boiling inside, he knew better than to cause a more deadly scene. He smiled and bent his head “I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you,” Darren pled and turned, walking away from the party. He stepped out of the hall, and he was slapped by cool air, his anger had faded, and he slowly rubbed his cheek, he knew he had to calm down and not let a slap like that get to him. He suddenly heard an echoing footstep that caused him to tilt his head, he saw Nora, and he gently bowed before her. “Grandma must have been in a good mood if she didn’t fire you,” Nora said and Darren was quiet, he didn’t know what to say, and he didn’t want to say anything that might lead to more complications for him. “You are not supposed to stand outside, you're being paid for your work so step back in and do what is necessary.” Nora added, this time around her voice stricter. Darren watched her walk back to the hall, but he wasn’t ready to go back in yet, so h
Nora stood up from the floor and moved closer to Darren, she raised her hand and landed a heavy slap on his face, Darren’s widened a bit as he was shocked by the sudden response of Nora to what he had said “Nora!” Grandma Lisa yelled, and she was busy fuming, Nora was beyond angry, and she wanted to tear Darren apart. Just when she thought they were going to fight against Grandma Lisa's ridiculous request he went ahead and accepted putting her in a terrible situation. She had never imagined herself getting married to a cleaner, she had always wanted a business tycoon that would be able to raise her standard more than it is now, and Darren is about to destroy all her plans. She squeezed her eyes shut as she regretted doing this with Eric, she shouldn’t have said yes to his plans, and now she is the one getting the backlash of it all. “How can you do that, Nora? You have to start respecting your soon-to-be husband!” Grandma Lisa spag and Nora’s eyes were clouded with hot tears. H

“This is so unfair!” Nora cried out over the phone. “You didn’t tell us it’s that serious, how can grandma get you engaged with him without informing us first, as your brothers we ought to be there!” Richard responded and Nora could feel how angry he was through the phone. “It’s not too late to stop this, you can come talk to grandma for me, I will be so happy if you can do that for me.” Nora responded. Greg, who had been quiet since the beginning of the call, let out a deep breath. “I am going to clear my schedules because of you, Richard, and I will be in the mansion soon.” Greg replied, and the call came to an end. Nora wiped her tears away, and she sniffed, trying to control her emotions. Her last hope was her brothers and she seriously hoped they could talk to Grandma Lisa and this engagement would become void since no one knew about it yet. She spent the next thirty minutes busy pacing about in her room, waiting for her brothers to come over. She sighed multiple times and
Darren let out a sigh as he adjusted his suit in front of the enormous mirror in his room. “I got this!” he muttered to himself and stepped out of his room, he met Hector standing at the doorway. Hector’s face fell immediately he glanced at Darren, knowing it was the final goodbye to Mr. Reeves. “I can’t believe Mr. Reeves is really dead.” Hector muttered in his sad tone and Darren placed his hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, everyone involved in his death will surely be put to justice. I will make sure I find them and hunt them down.” he murmured through gritted teeth and walked away from Hector, he suddenly halted his steps and tilted his head to look at Hector again as though he had something to tell him.“You know what to do at the burial, make sure you listen to everyone’s conversation and gather as much information as you can. I need your eyes everywhere and don’t come close to me, no one should know we know each other, okay?” Darren ordered and Hector nodded with a slight b
The hall was bustling as everyone who was invited to the wedding was busy chattering, even though the wedding was unplanned for most, they made time to come because of the Reeves family, some saw it as an avenue for business interests. Darren looked at himself in the mirror, he made sure his mask was well-fitted on his face and sighed, if anyone had told him he would suddenly get rich overnight and marry the daughter of one of the wealthiest families, he would have laughed at their face. It amazes him how life could change so easily. He walked out of the room and went to the hall, he met Grandma Lisa, exchanging some pleasantries with business tycoons. He suddenly heard footsteps halted next to him and he tilted his head. He saw Greg glaring at him and next to him was his brother Richard. Darren clasped his hands behind him, waiting for him to talk. “You still came after my warning, don’t say I didn’t warn you Darren, you are playing with fire!” Greg spat and Darren smirked. “You
"Where do you want to go for your honeymoon?" Grandma Lisa suddenly asked, Nora gasped and furrowed her brows while Damon was indifferent. "We will discuss that and get back to you grandma." Darren replied and Grandma Lisa noddedDarren and Nora returned to the room they were given. "I will sleep on the couch." Darren said and took one of the pillows walking away. He laid down on the coach and when he was sure Nora had fallen asleep, he took his phone and went to the restroom, dialing Hector's contact. "I thought you would be sleeping by now, due to the wedding stress." Hector said after picking the call. "I will go to bed, but I have a lot of things to sort out first." he replied and look at the time "I am coming to the mansion right now, you should get ready for me." he ended the call and placed his phone back in his pocket. He took a cab to the mansion and saw Hector waiting for him. "Good morning!" Hector greeted. "Good morning. I need to start operating the company immediat
