Karla's eyebrows creased as she stared into his eyes, trying to figure out what he meant but she couldn't. Seeing how confused she had appeared to be, Duncan chuckled. "It's you, right?" "Huh?" "The biker woman." Karla's eyes widened. She gulped before shaking her head vehemently and went on to deny it. "I wasn't the one. I…" Duncan pulled her into a hug before she could finish talking. She was astonished. "Thank you," he whispered to her. Her evolving tension declined and she smiled, restraining herself from wrapping her arm around him. Duncan inhaled as he broke the hug and straightened up. For the first time, she saw a smile on his face. He was unknowingly holding her hand until the door was pushed open, Abigail walked in, causing him to let go. "Um, I'm sorry for just walking in like that," Abigail apologized. Karla's jaw stiffened and she tilted her head and cast a bombastic side-eye at her. "The door was open and…" "It's okay." Duncan waved. Abigail smiled. "I heard y

As they dropped their glass after making the toast, Zinnia caught Duncan staring and barked. "Get lost, witless. Go and do the dishes!" Duncan nodded and they roared In laughter as he continued walking. Duncan got halfway down the hallway and stopped. He took out his phone and called Babbette. "Hello, sir?" "Babbette, I want to know something." "Alright, what is it, sir?" "Is Vast Group Company associated with Walton Group of Companies?" "Yes, Sir. The company is one of our under-companies." "Do you know Peterson Rogers?" "Yes, I do. He's for now the COO of VGC, but he'll be promoted by tomorrow to be the CEO." "He shouldn't get promoted." "Excuse me, sir?" "I need you to fire him." Babbette was shocked by Duncan's pronouncement. "Sir, is there…" Duncan heard footsteps approaching and he interrupted. "Let's talk later." He hung up. "Duncan," a familiar voice called him in a light tone and he turned to meet Lisa. "Hey, brother-in-law, I hope you don't feel bad because

It was Karla and Duncan's heart skipped a beat after he laid eyes on her. The transformation in her appearance was astonishing. Despite the impeccable makeup and luxurious attire that exuded wealth, he could still recognize her unmistakable features. "Karla?" The shock on his face mirrored the surprise he saw reflected in her widened eyes and the slight gulp she took in response to hearing her name.Confusion washed over Duncan as he tried to make sense of the stark contrast before him.This time, Karla wasn't looking a bit like the eyesore woman who had annoyed him in the past few days. She now radiated an aura of affluence and sophistication that seemed completely at odds with his previous encounters with her.Duncan's gaze shifted from her momentarily, turning to his mother, a small smile playing on her lips. He couldn't find the words to speak, his mind grappling with the unexpected turn of events.Just as his bewilderment reached its peak, a man walked into the room, catching Jo

Duncan decided to go and buy dinner for his mother after spending some time with her. When she awoke, he took permission from the doctor tending to her and he gave her the go-ahead to eat what he had bought. When they were done having dinner, Susan asked. "Son, are you okay?" "Yes, I am." "Great. But, the food." "What about the food?" "It looked like you got it from a five-star restaurant. It tasted so nice." "Really?" Susan nodded. He had actually ordered the food from one of the best restaurants in the city. "Believe me when I say that…I have never had such a meal for a long time. It was only once and that was when Zinnia's grandfather was alive. He had invited me to have dinner with them. Ma'am Luna didn't even let me have the meal in peace. She kept ogling at me." Susan let out a short laugh. "Where did you get the money to buy such food?" "Mother, I got it from my restaurant. The manager was impressed by my work these past few weeks." "That's great. Is anything going wr

Abigail was a bit surprised by Duncan's request and she tried not to show it in words but he understood her expression. "I know what you're thinking, but I'm sorry I don't care. I want to start punishing my enemies and bringing them down as I rise to the top." "What did he do?" "He hurt my mother." "Your mother?" "My adopted mother." "Oh. Okay, I'll do whatever you want. But, I need the company's account details." "Yes, I know. I'll send it to you later tonight." "Alright." "Thank you, Abigail." "Have dinner with me, please." "I'm sorry, I have to decline. I need to return quickly." "It's okay." "Maybe some other time." "Alright." When Duncan got to the Lennart Mansion, he walked into them having dinner. "Look who is here," Marcus said, forcing everyone to avert their attention to Duncan as he walked to the dining room. "Where the hell have you been since this morning?!" Ma'am Luna welcomed him with a bawl. "Good evening, grandmother…" "There's nothing great about th

When it displayed on his screen that his balance was zero, Marcus became speechless like one that had been struck by lightning. He couldn't believe his eyes. As everyone stared at him, taken aback by his exclamation, they wondered what was wrong with him, giving each other a surprised glance. When Ma'am Luna grew impatient, she asked. "Marcus, what's wrong?" "I…it's…g…gone," Marcus stammered, pointing at the screen, his eyes widened like one who had seen a ghost that had taken his ability to speak away. "What do you mean by it's gone?" Laila asked, not wanting to anticipate the worst. "It's the money. Everything in the account just v…vanished." "What do you mean?" Ma'am Luna asked, sounding angry. "This." Marcus turned the laptop screen to her and pointed at the zeros showing as the account balance. Ma'am Luna gasped. "What's this?" "I don't know, grandmother. I don't know if the money was revised but I've never seen a thing like this before." "You're talking nonsense!" Ma'a

Babette decided to confirm what Duncan was asking about, so she asked."Sir, are you talking about firing Peterson Rogers?""Exactly. Do that now. No questions.""Alright, sir. I'm on it."Duncan ended the call, washed his hands, and left the toilet. When he came to the hallway, he saw Peterson closing the door of Zinnia's office touching his wet lips.When he lifted his gaze and saw Duncan with the trash can, he walked up to him with a mocking expression."And, who do we have here? The great cleaner of the building. Hey worthless, how are you doing?""I'm not worthless. That should be your first name, Peterson," Duncan shot back, fixing at him a cold, intense, and menacing stare that startled Peterson a bit."I see you returned home the other day but you've not yet known your place, you lowlife.""I'm not a lowlife, Peterson. You should mind what you say.""What the audacity you've got. But, it's okay, I understand. You're a hopeless man. Any useless man who can't bring happiness to

When Zinnia finally found her voice, amidst Peterson mumbling curse words, she asked."What are you going to do?""I won't take this. I'm going to Walton business estate. I'll go and talk to Babette, she's the little wretch managing the Walton Group of Companies."Zinnia vaguely watched him disappear. Chill rose in her spine as she remembered the voicemail she had dropped for her grandmother earlier in excitement when she was on her way. Her fingers quivered like noodles when she took out her phone from her purse and her legs became as light as chopsticks when the thought hit her that her grandmother must have already listened to the voicemail.She quickly entered the car, Peterson's words repeated in her head, forcing her to slam the steering while intermittently until her phone rang."Ahh!" She gasped upon knowing who was calling, it was ma'am Luna. She threw the phone to the front seat and waited for a while before taking it."Gosh, she dropped a voicemail." She sighed, staring at

They had arrived earlier to see her off.Duncan, smiling warmly, said, "Hey, Abigail. We thought we'd come to say our goodbyes in person."Abigail was touched. "You didn't have to do that. I'm really grateful."Karla with sincerity, said, “Abigail, you've been a true friend to Duncan and you've helped me in some ways too. We can't thank you enough for helping us."“You're both welcome.” Abigail stared at Duncan as he spread his arms apart, asking for a hug.Abigail hugged Duncan one last time, and with a heartfel

The following morning, the Lennart family received the news that Gregg and Rhino would soon face trial. Ma'am Luna fretted about the implications, and Laila suggested a drastic measure."Mother, considering the situation, maybe we should leave the country. It might be the safest option for us and Zinnia."Ma'am Luna, pondering the idea, said, "Leaving the country might indeed be the best way to ensure Zinnia isn't exposed for Duncan's death. After all, his corpse hasn't been found."Meanwhile, Zinnia overheard their conversation and entered the room."Leave the country? Why? What's happening?"Laila, trying to calm her, explained, "Zinnia, dear, it's just a precaution. With Gregg and Rhino facing trial, it's better for us to avoid any unnecessary attention."Zinnia was skeptical. But what about Duncan?" Ma'am Luna, feigning concern: "Sweetheart, we're doing this for your safety. If we stay, people might start questioning Duncan's disappearance."Zinnia reluctantly agreed."Fine, bu

Abigail observed Duncan and Karla getting into Karla's car before driving off. A single tear slipped down her cheek, quickly wiped away as she elegantly adjusted her knee-length gown. Xia appeared behind her with her P.A., stating, “You shouldn't have held back and listened to the nonsense Karla spewed.”Abigail chuckled. “It's okay.”“Maybe it's time to wrap this up,” Abigail declared. “I will go alone.” She slung her bag over her shoulder and left.“She's so strong,” Linda remarked as they watched Abigail drive away.“You're right,” Xia concurred. “She's also a great person. Right?”Xia dropped her gaze to Linda, nodding in agreement. Meanwhile, Karla kept a watchful eye on Duncan as he drove, his demeanor almost reckless. She hesitated to stop him, not wanting to ruin his mood. However, as Duncan nearly lost control, endangering their lives, she forced him to pull over.“I am sorry,” Duncan apologized after stopping. It dawned on him that he should have been more careful, realiz

Duncan was surprised at what he heard and his expression turned stoic. “Duncan, I only learned about that tonight when I heard her and Karla talking about executing the plan.”Duncan looked away slowly, unable to believe his ears.Karla came closer and said, reluctantly, “Also, Abigail is Rhino's niece. I knew about it.”Duncan's gaze shifted to her in astonishment. “You learned about it today?”Karla shook her head. “It was during the last party.” Duncan's jaw dropped. “I'm sorry.”“You kept it from me for days?!”“I'm sorry, Duncan, I didn't intend to do that.”“Crap! How can you tell me that? Abigail is related to my father's killer and you kept such important information from me. Why?!”Karla sighed, remorse evident in her eyes. "Duncan, I didn't want to burden you with more pain. I was torn between revealing the truth and protecting you from the harsh reality. I thought it would be better to let you know at the right time."Duncan groaned, frustration and betrayal etched on hi

“Duncan!” Karla yelled, taking a step, but a smile on his face eased her worries. Gregg's men, stationed to take Duncan down, surfaced, awed by Duncan's calmness. Karla, surprised, rushed to him, checking his entire body in panic. “Duncan, are you okay?” Duncan nodded, taking off his suit jacket. Unbuttoning his sleeves, he revealed a bulletproof vest. Karla gasped and sighed. “You're wearing a bulletproof?” Duncan nodded, and she laughed softly before pulling him into a hug, panting. Amidst the chaos, Duncan embraced Karla. "I had to take precautions. I couldn't risk anything happening at this critical moment." Karla, relieved, whispered, "I was terrified. It looked so real." Duncan kissed her forehead. "I needed it to be convincing. Now, let's let them think they succeeded." Zinnia and Ma'am Luna, still amid the chaos, discreetly slipped away, realizing the plan had taken an unexpected turn. Lady Zelda, shocked, approached Duncan and Karla. "Duncan, are you alright?"

Ma'am Luna, losing her patience tightened her grip on Zinnia, urging her. “Answer me!” Unsure of how to respond, Zinnia hesitated before finally deciding to play along.“I didn't do anything, grandmother. Duncan just disappeared on his own, and I don't know where he is.” Zinnia maintained a facade of innocence, concealing the dark truth lurking beneath the surface. Ma'am Luna let go of Zinnia and she excused herself to use the bathroom. Confirming ma'am Luna wasn't watching her as she walked away, Zinnia signaled to Gregg who was standing some meters away from her, and headed out. Gregg followed her. He walked up to her as she paced back and forth outside.When he tapped her, she spun, startled and almond screamed.“Dear, relax. What's wrong?” Gregg asked.“Ma’am Luna, I mean my grandmother seems to be suspecting me. She just asked me about Duncan earlier.”Gregg frowned, concern etching his face. "What did you tell her?"Zinnia took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "I

After a brief silence, Karla pointed at Abigail, who strangely did nothing but stare at her in astonishment. “If you ever wish ill for Duncan again, then I won't think twice before giving you a dirty slap to get you thinking straight.”Abigail smirked and chuckled before rubbing her stinging cheek, which had turned red.“You know what, Karla? You're unbelievable. I had thought for once that you're different from those selfish women out there. I had empathy for you when you opened up to me, and that's why, to date, I have not told Duncan about your relationship with Rhino. You have turned against him and stabbed him in the back. Why? Because he rejected you?! You're so pathetic.”Abigail shrugged and straightened up, managing to smile. She simply said, “Enjoy the party, and… my regards to Duncan.” With that, she entered her car. Karla watched her drive off, engulfed in bitterness, then returned inside.Abigail pulled by the side of the main road later and called Xia.“You're at the pa
