“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

    Tessa dialed her mum’s number immediately but she didn’t pick up. Trying again, she did. “Hey Tessa, how are you doing?” her mum asked as she just burst into tears. Hot tears began rolling down her cheeks. “Is Kelvin my real dad?” she asked first. Silence erupted. Tessa could just wish her mum had said “Yes,” but what she heard next from her mum shocked her. “He isn’t your real dad. Where did you hear that from?” she asked frankly, but all Tessa could do was let out a scoff.“Are you my real mum too, or did you adopt me as well?” Tessa asked in a straight tone. “I'm sorry Tessa, I am your real mum. It was just a mistake. I got pregnant, I thought it was for your father but I was wrong. Five years later, when he came and claimed the child was his with evidence, I wanted to get rid of you, but I couldn’t because I felt a strong connection between you and I,” Mia cooed as she spoke.“Does Kelvin really know about this?” Tessa asked still in tears. “Your father…” she was interrupted and s

    "But what?" Astrian asked her as she sighed before proceeding to speak, "But, he did the worst by almost killing my children. I was a weak person and had begged him, so I kept quiet, but knowing the truth now, I couldn’t keep it again; it eats me up." She sighed as Astrian just watched her. "What if she was putting on an act so he could believe her and then inform her husband?" he thought as he cleared his throat. "I'm sorry, but in this situation, I am right now, I can’t trust anyone," he told her as she smiled sadly before standing up. "I get it. If I were in your shoes too, I wouldn't trust a single person," she told him before walking out. "Wait, you look like someone on TV," she told him as Astrian frowned. "TV, no I don’t," he immediately denied as she nodded. "If you need my help, you can call my number. I’m willing to help you bring down that monster," Mia told him before finally getting out of his apartment.Just as Mia was about to walk towards her car, she spotted a familia

    Then make sure you find them, never come here without them," Kelvin told the person through the phone before cutting the call. "Gorya, you would apply for a cleaner while Astrian would apply for one of the programmers, since you are good in computing stuff," Rose told him. "What about my companies? This would make Kelvin more suspicious and I really have to be careful so he won't trail me home," Astrian told her as Rose sighed. "Please, do we all forget about Kelvin threatening my daughter? She must have hated me now," Daniel sighed sadly as his eyes burned in malice. "I tried talking to her, she says she would think about it. I am still guilty of not telling her what's going on," Gorya told everyone as Astrian pulled her close to him, hugging her as she reciprocated.Reed stared at his phone, and afterwards threw it on his bed as he ruffled his hair. "I think I should see her," he thought before standing on his feet, going outside and walking towards his car. He was abducted, trying

    The black mask on Reed's head was opened as his eyes were blurry, he tried opening his eyes but all he could see was darkness. He tried standing but realized he was being tied to the chair, he started to free himself but all to no avail."It's useless doing that," he heard a calm voice in darkness as the lights in the room turned on. Reed's eyes met with his father's as he stared at him in malice."I warned you, didn't I?" His father's voice echoed in the room as Reed gulped down his saliva. He hated this man in front of him with passion but what could he do? No matter how he tried to deny the fact that it was his father standing in front of him, the harder the pain that spread through his chest."You're going to marry that woman or else your mother will have to pay for your disobedience," his father's voice came out dangerous as Reed's eyes almost popped out from his sockets. "Why do you have to threaten me with mum? I thought you loved her but now all I can see is a greedy man who c

    "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

    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.

    “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
