“Mom, you have been strong since I started this; please don't show any kind of negative feelings. Getting James would be an easier thing to do. Mandy's boss Mr. Rubben is holding a banquet tomorrow for James to strengthen their business relationship.” she explained “You would have been beside him as his wife.” her mother interjected with regret“Yes, but not too late. I know James loves me. I will make sure he takes me back. Grandma wanted us together for life, but I messed up,” her voice was laced with regret. Melissa was afraid of James, she knew she had an unfinished score to settle with James, with that she knew appearing before him would ruin their meeting and Jamws would never accept her because of Melissa and she encouraged, “It is well, dear. Since you know where to get him, I think you should go. I don't have to go with you in order not to escalate the matter. James would not like to see me with what I have done to Maureen on her birthday. I should have known that he was ri
Many prominent people were coming to greet him, and Mr. Rubben did the work of introducing them to him. Alice was stiff where she was; she was feeling ashamed of himself; she could not move her legs forward to greet James; the fear engulfed her to the extent that she hid her face. How would she be able to meet James in that state? Mandy walked to her and encouraged her to use the opportunity, or else one of these big men would link up their daughters who were still single. “Alice, hope you take my word and work to him, as you can see from the status of the people here, they are rich and the ladies are beautiful. Take the chance now, or you will forget James for life,” She whispered Alice breathed heavily, took a glass of water and gulped. She maintained a calm demeanour even though her life was turbulent like the ocean. Her face was plastered with an ungneniue smile, and she started walking to meet James. After taking two steps, a beautiful, charming young lady dazzling in her gow
As Mandy's car pulled up to Martinez's mansion, she hesitated for a moment. Alice had intended to follow James home after their heart-wrenching conversation, but his rejection had left her shattered.Tears streamed silently down Alice's cheeks, her grief palpable despite her attempts to conceal it. Mandy stole glances at her friend, her heart aching with empathy. She couldn't shake the feeling of guilt for leaving Darren, knowing now the pain Alice was enduring from losing in two ways. With a heavy heart, Mandy called Melissa, her voice betraying her own. "Hello, Mandy, your friend told me how you helped her." Melissa's voice crackled with gratitude.Mandy forced a strained smile. "Don't mention it, ma."But Melissa persisted, her words laden with sincerity. "Let me, Mandy. I will make sure she does something good for you when she begins to spend Winslow's money. I'm so grateful for making me a proud mother-in-law. I'm sure Alice and James would be at Winslow Mansion now." She grinne
James prepared to leave for Asia the next day but Maureen was worried, he didn't want to go with security or a bodyguard. “Let’s Lucas follow you,” Mauren said worriedly James retorted, “I need fresh air, no one knows me in Asia”“Are you telling me no one knows James in Asia? Then why are you going there for business?” she asked squinting “I don't mean it that way, what I mean is, no one identifies me as James Winslow, I have told the media not to publish my picture on their media page, and that is the reason you have been seeing company release without my picture,” he explained “I'm scared, your face was shown on national TV during the annual event” she retorted “Don't be, no one knows I'm travelling, except people that are close to me and nobody dare reveal my whereabouts among them,” James cleared her doubt and assured her of his safety. “If that is the case, safe journey dear,” Maureen surrendered and wished him a safe trip“Thank ma, Brian will help James back to school t
James brought out a lot of money and handed it to the driver, the driver was stunned seeing the money he prostrated and told James to guide what the woman gave to her because many people were looking for it James was not surprised because he had glanced through it before he put it in his box. He knew the scroll was very important and powerful. The driver zoomed off, he prayed silently as he drove that James should give him the kind of money he gave the old woman. He glanced through the mirror and their eyes met again, the driver instantly bowed and took his eyes away from him. He wishes he could take a picture of him and be proud of it. To his understanding, James was too simple and generous; if he could ask him for a picture, he might agree to his demand. James knew that the man knew him as James Winslow, he knew for him to know him, he might be conversant with the news or probably be educated. The driver parked in front of the address given to him by James. James brought out
James said what he said to make Lord Asia fear him. Lord Asia instantly told one of the bodyguards to go out and get his second phone; he wanted to inform Alberto of what he heard, and he wanted him to be on alert. “Tell another lie; that one can't save your skin; this won't help you.” Lord Asia If that's what you think, let’s wait and see.” James could see that he was scared. He thought that he could at least do something. Now that one of them had left, he remembered the skill he had learned from the scroll: ‘Could that be enough to take these two down?’ to the remaining two by holding them captive. He glanced at the other man and thought of how to hit him at a vital point. Then he remembered what he had read about instant sleep on the scroll. While Lord Asia was busy rebuking him, he was practising how to attack the other man in his mind. Heaven heard his prayer when Lord Asia told the other man to watch over him. “I want to use the toilet; watch him,” he commanded.“Yes,
“Call Pyun,” Lord Asia said.James searched his contact list and looked for the name mentioned. He squatted in front of Lord Asia before dialling the number and threatened,” See,” showing him Lucas's number,I have called the embassy; I used Google to locate you here, and they are finding you underground; I know you impersonated Lord Asia that is not your real identity; think of what will happen to your wife and your child if you mess up with me.”Fear etched on his face as James threatened, and he responded sharply, “I won't, I promised.” “Speak English that I understand,” James commanded; he knew he could say something he didn't understand if he should speak in Korean. He dialled the phone and put it on loudspeaker.James didn't trust him and walked away from him as he dialled the call and told Lord Asia to speak louder in a way that the person on the other end would hear his voice. “Talk,” James ordered. “Bring the phone we took from James Wonslow up; I want to see something t
James felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wondered what kind of excruciating pain the child must have suffered for her to be smelling like that. He pitied the child and went back inside. He checked the pulse of the child and noticed she was still breathing. “What is her name?” James asked. “Wulan,“ both parents chorused.James swallowed hard, held his breath, and sent them out. “You should go out and let me do my work.”Lord Asia's wife gazed at her husband, and he nodded. The husband and wife walked side by side out of the room; Min-ji's eyes didn't leave her child. Lord Asia told her to trust the doctor he brought. As they left, James called out her name, “Wulan.” “Can you help me to die?” She requested death by stuttering. “Is that your choice?” James asked “I'm tired of fighting; the pain is unbearable for me. Please help me,” she responded with teary eyes.“This is your last fight, and let's fight it together. I will cure you, and you will walk out of this room soon. D
