Mum, Dad," their voices cracked as they began crying. Both Bruce and Emma were confused, but in the next minute, their eyes widened in shock. They had just heard their children's voices after twenty long years! Emma slowly turned to face them, tears pouring from her eyes. The joy and happiness she felt in that moment knew no boundaries.

Laura asked herself, "Wait, what does he mean by 'I'm not his real sister?'" She was still staring at the phone, thinking, "He's just mad and saying rubbish." She laughed, assuring herself, before dropping her phone and walking to the bathroom.

"Now you really do need me after everything you have done, right?" the lady spoke. Mia found the voice familiar, but couldn't figure out who exactly was on the phone with her husband. "I'm sorry, Savarin, for cutting ties with you then, but please, I really do need your help with something," Kelvin begged. "Why would he be begging her?" Mia thought. She then understood when the next words came out of Savarin's

    Immediately Agnes heard what he had just said, she turned to the security with her eyes wide open while Kelvin also stared at him in shock. "Does someone else know about Bruce and Emma?" he thought before turning to the man, who just stared at them in confusion. "Let her in," he ordered and the security left afterwards. "What have you done this time?" she asked him and he just sighed. "How many people know about this? I'm really worried this might not end well for us," she spoke with concern. "Well, I don't know. Laura, Daniel, my personal assistant, you, and then..." just as he was about to complete his statement, Luna came in with a wide smile across her lips. She couldn't believe she was seeing the richest man in the world so easily when others would go as far as just to see him. "He's even so cute. Should I also get him for myself?" she thought shamelessly as she kept bowing to them. "Good day," she finally raised her head. "Wow! I can't believe I'm standing here and I have the

    "So who are you starting with first?" Agnes asked as Thames sat on the comfy couch."My secretary. He's been acting strangely these days," Kelvin told her."Daniel?" Agnes asked."Yes. Next is Thames. I haven't been paying him for weeks now and I think he's up to something," Kelvin said, facing his mother as she nodded.Mia packed her bags as she walked out of the room. "Ma'am, are you traveling?" Mona asked."No. I'll just be away for a while," Mia smiled and walked past her as Mona helped her with her luggage.Just as Mia was rushing out of the hallway, Laura came in with an angry look on her face. Mia walked past her without sparing her any glance, but Laura pulled her back by the arm. Mia faced Laura, who then slapped her hard across the face. Mona gasped as she watched."When I'm talking to you, you don't dare walk away from me," Laura yelled. Before she knew it, Mia had slapped her back. "You dare?" Laura exclaimed. She was about to charge towards Mia when Kelvin's voice made he

    "Who?" Gorya asked immediately. "That's the problem, I can't say his name," Lisa cried out. "Why?!" she asked him. "I don't know his name and I didn't see his face, but I think..." she was interrupted when her dad appeared. She immediately stood up and went inside. Gorya stared at him, although she disliked him when she noticed him as the secretary of the man who had kept her father for a long time. She walked up to him, staring at him as he spoke, "What's she telling you?" he asked her. She just breathed out and walked out of his premises. Kelvin rushed over immediately. "His family was in danger because of him!" Thyme walked into a big restaurant. A young man walked up to him instantly. "Are you Mr. Astrian?" he asked. Thyme nodded, although he wasn't used to that name. "Alright, our boss awaits you," he led him into a room afterwards. Thyme met an old man sitting on a red long couch. He immediately stood up after seeing him. "Are you Astrian Ranford?" he asked him. Thyme nodde

    Mia went in afterward as she picked up her phone, dialing a number. "Since I can't seem to find Bruce and Emma anywhere, I think I have to act fast in letting the company be fully mine, because it's not fully mine since it was all willed to his children," Kelvin explained to his mother. "Children?" she questioned as he nodded. "I was able to find out that fool had a daughter, but I wasn't and am not figuring out who she is." Kelvin shook his head as Agnes hit the table. "That bastard, wait, maybe he still hides some of his companies from you, who knows?" Agnes shrugged, and that was when it dawned on him. He walked to a corner and dialed a person's number. She picked up on the second ring. "Hello," he spoke first. "Hey, how are you doing?" she smiled over the phone. "You have to start your job, now! Find them and bring them back to me!" Kelvin yelled before ending the call and also placed a call to someone else. "I'm ready to give you the money you want," Kelvin told her as he could h

    “Why would your family be relocating down here?” Agnes asked as Laura stared at her in confusion. "Aren't you happy you would get to see your grandchildren after ten years?” Laura asked.“Grandchildren my foot,” Agnes thought as she faked a smile. “I was just surprised and angry. Why didn’t you think of bringing them all this while? I tried asking you, but since I realized you didn’t bring up the matter, I wanted to respect your decision by not asking,” Agnes explained as Laura nodded.“So when would they be here?” Agnes asked her. “Next month,” Laura smiled.“Okay then, I’d welcome them when they come,” Agnes told her. “Aren’t you going to prepare a welcoming party just like you did for Kelvin?” she asked.“Did I say I won’t do that?” Agnes rolled her eyes. “Thanks mum, I’d be off now. Bye!” she hugged her before leaving.“Things are really getting out of hand and I'm getting fed up,” Agnes massaged her temple before calling the people to continue their work.“Fine, we’d go, but we h

    Luna gulped and stared fearfully at the monster in front of her. "Please, just let me go. I'll return every penny you gave me," she begged. Kelvin smirked in response. "Since you're not ready to tell me the truth, I think you'd like to spend the rest of your week without eating," he said before standing up and walking out of the building, ignoring her pleas.Thyme entered his apartment quietly and stretched. "Today has been really stressful," he thought to himself as he headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. The doorbell rang, and he sighed before going to answer it. Gorya and Lady Rose were standing outside, Gorya carrying a large bag and Lady Rose holding a black handbag. "We knew you wouldn't have time for yourself, so we brought you this delicious meal, made by me," Gorya bragged, as Rose looked at her in disbelief. "And I taught you, remember?" Rose asked Gorya, and everyone chuckled. Thyme let them in and locked the door behind them. "I was about to make a video call wit

    "Who is he?" Zyan asked as his eyes darkened. "He's someone you can't tamper with easily, you need a great power to get to him," Thames said as he turned his back on the boy."Just tell me how to get it," the boy spoke impatiently. "You have to do some things and please stop being disrespectful and annoying," Denies finally spoke as he rolled his eyes."Can we go now?" Tessa asked Ryran, who kept pacing all around the room. "Please, could you just be patient? Just remember Rge's wedding is today," he snapped as Tessa rolled her eyes. "Then, we could use that opportunity to visit and stay hidden," Tessa suggested as Ryran couldn't help but sigh. "Why are you so desperate?" Ryran couldn't help but ask. Tessa faced him with an unbelievable look on her face. "Desperate to save our parents' marriage?" she asked as she stared at him. "See, I can save my parents' marriage myself without your help. You just make me feel like I'm the only one they gave birth to," she interrupted him before sta

    Luna was seen lying lifelessly on the floor as Tina cried for help. They had all run away after the cop's sirens were heard. "Mom, mom," she cried out loud. "Tina," someone called from behind as she turned back. Seeing who it was, she stood up and ran towards him. "I don't know, but my mom isn't breathing," she told Astrian, who hugged her tightly. "Don't worry, your mom will be fine," he told her as she watched people carry her mom into an ambulance car and drive off.Tina opened her eyes slowly as she was met with darkness. She tried speaking but discovered her mouth was sealed shut and she was tied up. She looked around as her heart began pounding in fear, remembering what happened before she fell and some hands carried her. "Help!" she screamed, but her voice only echoed as she began to cry. "Don't cry, and I'm not here to harm you," she heard someone's voice echo inside the room. "Who are you?" she shivered as the person chuckled before answering her question. "Well, I have a lit

    Shock was visibly seen in Kelvin’s eyes as he stared at the people kneeling in front of him in utter shock. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. "Mia," was the first word that came out of his mouth as he had a painful look on his face."Don’t be surprised. You don’t expect me to stay forever with you when I found out you are a murderer and a monster," she spat, immediately receiving a slap across the face. "Don’t you dare hit my mother, you crazy psycho of a father," Ryran yelled as Kelvin chuckled madly. "This wasn’t the picture I gave. I really didn’t think my own son and wife would go against me," he smiled as he gave him a punch in the stomach, causing him to groan really hard and spit out blood."And you, tell me, why are you really surprised why you’re here? So tell me, why are you here?" he asked, staring at Astrian. Astrian only laughed out loud, even though he was badly hurt. "Sweers, you are really going to kneel on day and beg me to spare your fucking life," Astrian star

    “Boss, Master just traveled out with his private jet,” someone informed Ryran through the phone as he scoffed out loud, “Trail him and send me his location immediately.” He told the person before ending the call.Ryran ruffled his hair afterwards, “Everything was true! His father was really a dubious man,” he thought as he sighed. He wasn’t going to sit back and watch this happen; he was going to expose his father to the media. That was the best thing to do.Astrian tried reaching his parents, but they weren’t picking up. He really got worried as he finally got to his apartment.“Where have you been?” Rose asked almost immediately, but that wasn’t what occupied his mind at the moment. “Have you tried reaching out to Max?” Daniel asked. “Yes, I did but he wasn’t picking up too,” Astrian said worriedly as he stared at them. “We all have to go now!” he yelled as they all nodded. “Except for you Gorya, I can’t allow you to risk this. You’ll be staying with one of my friends,” he told her

    “What did you say to me?” Laura asked, staring at Henry in rage. “Nothing, you’re just not seeing these things,” he sighed sadly as Cole immediately changed the conversation, seeing where it was heading. “Follow me now!” Cole said almost in a yelling tone, as Henry rolled his eyes before speaking.“I am famished and need to eat,” he simply told him. “Henry, would you please stop talking to Dad that way?” Mini finally spoke.Cole walked away while Henry reluctantly stood up, following behind. They both got to a corner and Cole pinned him to the wall. “What are you trying to prove?” his father asked sternly as he tried to free himself but couldn’t. “Do you think I don’t know about the dirty thing going on with you and that old hag?” he spat in anger. “You call your grandma an old hag, huh? Besides, I and your grandma have nothing to do with each other. You are just sixteen and won’t understand anything,” he told him calmly. Henry scoffed.“Do you take me for a fool?” he asked, staring

    Her hands were covered with a little blood as she immediately ended the call, “What’s wrong with me?” she couldn't help but ask herself as she rushed out. “How dare Jonathan!” Reed’s mother yelled when she saw her son, who was beaten next to her. “Call him Jonathan now!” she yelled, but none of the bodyguards around walked out, which made her angrier.“Son, are you okay?” she asked with concern in her voice, but all she could hear was him making a sound. She instantly got scared as she tried to release herself while the bodyguards walked up to her, pointing a gun at her. She chuckled repeatedly as she couldn't believe her eyes, but in the next minute, she flinched.The man who had pointed a gun at her was shot from behind. Looking up to take a glance at the person who did that, she fumed in anger. “How dare you, Jonathan?!” she yelled, but he just walked up to her with a serious face. “How dare you point a gun at my wife!” he yelled, which made her scoff. He walked up to her and rele

    “Young master, madam has been kidnapped,” the butler told Reed, who entered the building angrily. “How dare he claim to love her, but love is out of it when money comes into the picture,” he thought, and the thought of it made him burn in anger. He hated his father to the core. The butler, who understood what was going on, immediately eased the tension. Reed, who knew who kidnapped her, entered his car and zoomed off. “He’s out now, but I don’t know where he’s going,” the butler told Jonathan over the phone before ending the call. He was sweating profusely while ending the call. He had never betrayed the young master, but he did today because he was seriously threatened. Reed drove as fast as he could but immediately halted, making him hit his head on the wheel and bleed. He looked up carefully and observed what had happened. “Many black cars surrounded him!” he scoffed out loud.“Savarin? That name seemed familiar,” Ryran thought. “Oh, I know you must be trying to crack your brain ab

    Reed’s hand shook as he stared at his phone, “Don’t you dare hurt my mum,” he told his dad who had tied his mum to a chair and she seemed to be in a deep sleep. “Told you I’d do something and you dared me to and I did,” Jonathan told his son as Reed began fuming in anger. “If you dare hurt my mum, you’d be in great trouble,” he warned coldly as Jonathan laughed, ending the call. Reed hit the couch angrily as he rushed out. Just as he went out, Tina came out looking worried, “Did I do the right thing?” she couldn’t help but question herself. After some hours of waiting, Thyme was called in. Kelvin watched Thyme closely as he walked up to him, “Mr., my assistant has told me about you and you seem to have great qualities. Now you are my personal hacker and you have to find someone for me before tomorrow,” Kelvin spoke seriously as Thyme just stared at him. “His name is Bruce, while his wife’s name is Emma.

    Ryran listened to everything Mia had said with anger burning visibly in his eyes; he just realized Tessa wasn’t his real sister but could be considered as a stepsister. It really broke him. Tessa was thankful enough Mia hadn’t revealed the part of Kelvin being a murderer and a monster. “No matter what happens, Tessa is still my sister. How could the man hurt you, Mum, because of the Dad?” Ryran couldn’t help but ask the question that had been going through his mind. Mia swallowed hard before she could reply, “He’s…” “Kelvin’s business partner. They actually hate each other for a reason best known to them. It’s business, okay, so we shouldn’t interfere. He wanted revenge and had mistakenly hurt Mum, and he regrets it now. At least he is not like others,” Tessa interrupted, rolling her eyes.Ryran immediately felt confused as he stared at both his sister and mother. “Something doesn’t just feel right,” he said. “You call Dad Kelvin for the first time, and you talk like he really offended

    "What are you doing here?" she asked angrily, staring at Reed with malice in her eyes. "I'm really sorry, I have to explain something to you," he cooed. "Get out! Both of you," she yelled, her patience wearing thin. "I would come back to get the money your mother owed me and don't always forget..." he moved close to her. "You killed your mother," he smirked before leaving as she stood like a statue."Are you okay?" Reed asked as she faced him. "I told you to..." her voice cracked as she couldn't say any more words, tears rolling down her eyes. He helped her sit, and surprisingly, she allowed him. "Who's he?" he asked calmly. "How dare you act calm in front of her. But what could she do? She needed someone to comfort her right now," she thought before answering him. "My dad," she sighed as he nodded. "I'm really sorry," he bent his head, guilt covering him. "Can you please not talk about that now and kindly get me some water?" she asked. "Okay," he nodded as he stood up and walked into
