Jerome pulled Eleanor close, then stepped back and took a deep breath. He was just about to speak when the old couple walked into the room. The old lady saw Jerome's mouth open, about to say something, and she shook her head, signaling him to stay silent. But Jerome only returned her look with a reassuring gaze as if to tell her, everything was under his control.Holding Eleanor's hand in a reassuring grip, Jerome spoke in a gentle voice. "It's not a big deal. Just tell me what you remember, and I'll fill in the rest from there." He wanted her to feel safe and supported, no matter what she remembered.Eleanor tried hard to remember something, anything, but all she could see was a blur. She gave up trying to force the memories to surface, and instead said, "The only thing I can remember is that I got pregnant not long after Mia set us up." Even though the memories were hazy, she knew that much to be true.As she tried to remember, a headache began to build, getting more and more severe
Six months had passed since the events of that fateful day, and James had been quiet throughout. He felt like he was just a decoration in the company, merely occupying space but not contributing anything. He had been given a six-month suspension as punishment for his actions, and now that time was up, he was entitled to receive his salary once again. His butt was itching him. Finally, he decided to take action. He wanted to fight this battle alone but he realized he couldn't fight alone. He needs to fight an opponent to defeat Jerome. Taking a deep breath, James picked up his phone and dialed Annika's number. When she answered, he said, "Let's meet at the cafe. There's something important I need to tell you." Then he hung up, not giving her a chance to respond. Annika chuckled. She knew her uncle wouldn't be able to fight Jerome alone. Annika arrived at the cafe, finding James sitting at a corner table, his expression a mix of determination and uncertainty. She slid into the seat
After Annika and James hashed out a plan to take down Jerome, they realized that it had not been as successful as they had hoped. Annika called James and asked him to meet her at the restaurant. When James arrived, he wasn't surprised to see the look of disappointment on Annika's face. He tried to put on a brave face, entering the restaurant with a smile.James already knew why Annika looked so glum, so he decided not to press the issue. He took a seat at the table and ordered a drink, trying to stay calm. He knew that Annika was upset about their failed plan, and he was determined to stay strong for her. But underneath the surface, he was just as worried as she was."Look," James replied, "whether I smile or not, the fact remains that we lost this time. Nothing can change that. What we can do is learn from this experience and plan something better for next time. Something that Jerome won't be able to get away from so easily." He was trying to stay positive and focus on the future, bu
Dressed in their finest clothes, Eleanor and Jerome drove straight to Rosca's mansion. As they pulled up, they could see Rosca's family gathered outside, all looking somewhat bewildered. Eleanor, in particular, seemed to take them by surprise. They had clearly not expected her to be there, or to see Eleanor awake and well."Eleanor, are you okay?" Mrs. Rogan rushed over and asked with a worried look on her face. She examined Eleanor from head to toe, checking for any sign of injury or illness. When she saw that Eleanor seemed to be perfectly fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her into a warm embrace. "Thank God you've woken up," she said, holding Eleanor close.Tears welled up in Mrs. Regan's eyes as she held Eleanor close. She had been so worried about her, and was so relieved to see her awake and well. She couldn't imagine how difficult it must have been for Eleanor to wake up from her coma, and she was grateful that she had made it through. If she were in Eleanor's shoe
Jerome and the Regan's couldn't believe it - Rosca had forgotten what had happened, just like Eleanor. It was like something out of a novel, or a miracle. After the doctor finished checking on Rosca, he confirmed that she was fine, just like Eleanor. They were all in a state of disbelief and wonderment."Eleanor, you should spend some time with Rosca," Old Master Regan said, and then he left the room. He was completely blown away by the events of the day. He needed some time to process everything that had happened.Mr. and Mrs. Regan followed Old Master Regan out of the room. Jerome leaned down and kissed Eleanor on the forehead. "I'll be waiting for you," he said softly, a gentle smile on his face. He didn't want to leave her side, but he knew she needed time with Rosca.As the Regan's stepped outside, Mrs. Regan let out a long, deep breath. "This is truly a miracle," she said, the relief evident in her voice. "Since only the family knows, it won't be a problem to keep this quiet.""
In a far-off place, the mysterious figure stood in front of a collection of photographs, his gaze fixed on them. A wicked grin spread across his face as he said to himself, "If they want to destroy him so badly, I guess I should lend them a hand."A man approached the mysterious figure and stood in front of him with a respectful demeanor. "Boss, should I get in touch with them?" he asked."Yes, of course," the man said, his voice filled with determination. "The more, the better. Jerome is a tough opponent, and we need to act quickly before he gathers more resources. We need to hit him hard and fast before he has a chance to recover.""Alright, boss," the man said, ready to leave and carry out his orders. But as he turned to go, the mysterious figure called out to him again."And what about Mia?" the mysterious figure asked, his voice suddenly cold and calculating. "Do you have any news on her?"The tone of the man's voice shifted, from deferential to icy in an instant. It was clear th
James made arrangements to meet this anonymous person who was ready to help out of nowhere. As he got into his car and made his way out, a lot flooded his head. "Should I call Annika and tell her about this person?" James murmured to himself. He took his phone, ready to call her, but stopped on second thought. "Let me find out who he is first, then I can bring her into it," he concluded, putting his phone away and concentrating on the road. Meanwhile, Annika had also made plans to meet this stranger. Unlike James, Annika never considered adding him to her plans. "Why should I involve that old fool? Besides, he will drag the CEO position with me when everything is over. I already have plans to get rid of him when I'm done with Jerome," Annika said with an evil smirk, adding more speed to her normal driving, screaming with excitement like a crazy woman. It seemed wild imagination had already gotten into her head.VB ClubJames could be seen sitting restlessly in a dark corner, waiting p
Rosca was resting on her couch, watching a movie on her huge flat-screen television. For the past few days, this is all she has been doing ever since she woke up: resting the whole day and catching fun with Eleanor. Just as expected, Eleanor was in the kitchen trying to fix something for them to eat since it was already afternoon. For these past few days, the two friends had been spending quality time together. Surprisingly, Jerome allowed this because he knew the two ladies deserved some time alone to catch up, not without security though. The little noise from inside the house did not cease to attract the attention of these able-bodied men. The girls had fun and chilled until, of course, like every day, they heard a knock on the door. Rosca would always roll her eyes when the knock came in, while Eleanor, on the other hand, chuckled at the sudden change of mood. As expected, Eleanor would greet and, behold, the almighty Bright was the expected person she would always meet."Good da
