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
Jerome sat in his chair, his fingers massaging his forehead. He had been overworking himself lately, trying to clear his head. Deep down, he felt a sense of impending danger looming over his family, himself in particular, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. All he could do was to keep increasing his security measures.His solitary moment was interrupted when Bright entered his office, studying him as he approached the desk. Bright could tell that Jerome was truly disturbed, but he hesitated to ask what was wrong."Boss!" Bright called out, but it seemed Jerome was lost in his thoughts."Boss," Bright moved closer and tapped him gently on his shoulder, jolting him out of his thoughts."Bright?" Jerome came back to his senses and called out to him."Good day, Boss. You sent for me," Bright said, hesitant to ask the question he had in mind."Yes, I'll be meeting with a company concerning our business deal. Since Eleanor isn't returning to work anytime soon, I need you to come wit
Rosca and Eleanor was still having a good time in Rosca's house when Eleanor felt a strange sensation in her, it felt as if something bad just happened.She picked up her phone to check for any message or call from Jerome but there was none. She grew worried and called him but his number was not going through."What is wrong Eleanor? Your mood suddenly changed," Rosca asked when she noticed her friend's change of mood."Something is just not right, I can feel it in me and it has been almost an hour since Bright left but Jerome has not called me and that is so unlike him. I just pray everything is alright," Eleanor complained"You think too much bestie. I am sure he is in the middle of a meeting or something, he get back to you when he has time. We were all here when he called Bright for work remember, so just chill ," Rosca assured her"His line is not going through at all that is what makes me worried. I just hope he is fine like you said," Eleanor said restlessly"I know he is, here
