“You gotta be joking. Micheal can never be ..”Slap!Mark hastily slapped his son to stop him from saying anything further.If only he knows how scared he was when he got the news.And also the message about his son losing his life if Mark doesn’t take any action.He would have never worried about such a threat if this was from any other person, but this is right from the president of BYC company who no one has ever heard from.It seems his stupid son has pissed someone he should have.This is the only way not only to save his son but also his whole family.Guess he has to move out of the city as soon as possible.Who knows… Maybe the president wouldn’t just let them off.With this thought in mind, he held Clayton’s ear,“You are coming with me and there is nothing you can do about it”“Ouch… dad… You can not do this to me before Mic… ouch”Clayton's scream could still be heard even after he was dragged out of the company.The receptionist smiled proudly and was just about to speak t

Present time … The hallway had become so silent that one can hear the sound of each other breath. The only sound one could hear was Rita talking. “I had no idea what was going on. I just phoned the first number that came to mind and that was 911. After that, I… I called you” Rita recounted all that happened between her and Emily before the unfortunate happening. Micheal frowned. He knew deep within his heart that there was no way Rita would hurt Emily. Emily means more than anything to her in this world. But he also couldn’t forget the fact that Emily is only in this state because of the box given by Rita. There are only two possible. It’s either Rita wanted to poison Emily so she can have a miscarriage or someone is behind this, and Rita is just being the scapegoat without even realizing it. Micheal wanted to believe the first idea but his instincts were rather believing the latter. The love Rita has for Emily is far beyond anything else. It even exceeded the love she ha

I will. Venice turned to the one who spoke up and frowned. Just as she expected, Micheal again. But this can also be a blessing in disguise. She can kill two birds with one stone, “You want to tell me you believe this snake person here? Then you are but worthy of Emily. I will make sure you guys are divorced before the month ends” she said with a determined look. “A divorce at a time like this? Mother, are you still thinking about your daughter and grandchild or yourself” Micheal rebuked without mercy. Aaron moved forward with an annoyed look. “Micheal, you better watch your words. Are you trying to create a wedge between a mother and her daughter?” he said. Micheal stared at the two hypocrite couples and wasn’t surprised. This is their gear colours, but maybe he was too stupid to notice it earlier. But now, everything is as clear as water. Even when they have made their intentions clear, they will try and pin the blame on another person. What is happening now is a clear

“Now can you explain” ? How are they going to explain themselves .The person in the video is someone they know very well.“This… This… why should we explain? It can’t be that you are trying to pin this on us right” Venice said with nervousness written all over her face .“Trying to pin this matter on your head ? Do you think I will want to waste time on something like that ? I have always treated you people as family but how have I been treated all these years? Tell me how? And the only person who actually , genuinely care about me is now lying there . And despite the evidence right in front of your eyes , you still think I want to pin the blame on you ? Of course yes I do” Michaels outburst was something which shocked not only the Kincaid couple , but Rita as well.“This.. this …” Venice stammered trying to find the right words .Aaron on the other hand had a frown on his face as this is the first time someone has made him tongue tighed .Micheal has never been like this before ,

“Young master, there is something you should know,” Steph said over the phone in a binding tone.Micheal said nothing as he didn't want to disturb his sleeping wife.Steph is also not in a hurry as he knows his young master might be with the resting young mistress by now.“What is it?” Micheal asked as soon as he walked to stand close to the window, out of his wife's reach.“The Kincaids had already left the hospital and it seems that Aaron doesn't look happy” Steph reported.Micheal chuckled, “Why am I not surprised? Just leave those two for now and focus on more pressing matters. I need everything about the auction next week”“Sure Sir,” Steph said and hung up. Micheal smiled coldly as he looked at the dark city, “Wanted to keep the peace but it seems I have to take action very quickly”Kincaid mansion…“Will you take your time? I have already structured Marcus on what's to do while coming” Venice said as she walked very fast after the angry Aaron.He entered the house walked stra

At the hospital… Emily has already wakened and can now differentiate between reality and dreams. “Had my husband arrived?” she asked the nurse on duty. “No ma’am, your husband left some minutes before you woke up. But he specially instructed this nurse to take care of madam as my life depended on it. Do not worry ma’am, I will make sure you feel comfortable and not in need of anything” Seeing the nurse react in such a manner, Emily might be from a rich and influential family but she is still a bit not used to stuff like this. How many years has it been since one called her “madam”? Thinking of the person who had made this happen, a happy smile appeared on her face as she tried not to let the nurse see. But the nurse could already see through her. “Seeing madam like this, she might be thinking of the master. It’s truly a heavenly blessing to be married to such a fine and considerate man” Hearing the nurse’s words, Emily could hear the jealousy as well as the appreciation in he

“You are always trying to speak up for that Bryce person, but you do not see things from your family’s perspective. You always wanted to have your way since you were a child and at first, I thought it was okay. After all, it will make you a strong person before others . You have always been smart and understand what to do at the right time. But now I am beginning to wonder if that is a blessing in disguise or a curse” Venice said in one breath. “You should know I have the family’s best interest at hand. You can’t simply expect me to do things that I know are way out of line. Mother please …” Emily tried to reason with her mother again, but that only seemed to fuel her anger. “You have the family’s best interest at hand? You think, that getting married without anyone knowing is having the family’s best interest at heart. Running away with him to the court to sign your marriage certificate, is something I know a smart person like you will never do. But hell no, you did exactly that.

Kincaid had just finished with Shine and was walking back to the hotel. He walked towards the elevator and saw a figure he knew very well standing inside. After giving a nod, he entered the elevator and the person did the same. He pressed his floor button and stood there quietly."It's very nice to see you again. Coming back from the bat, I suppose?" Alec asked with a smile.Kim didn't even look at him but smiled as he replied, "Yeah."Alec nodded his head and continued, "Guess your night has been quite eventful. I saw you hitting it off with Maria earlier today. And believe me, she might feel the same."Kim didn't rush to reply or look at him, instead choosing to remain quiet.He felt that Alec often had one interest in mind but always tried to find something to pin on others, and that's exactly what he was doing right now."It's surprising that you, venturing into public political business and being the president and heir to the Crowns family empire, are so interested in other pe

Kincaid walked into his suite and immediately sensed that something was off. With an alert look, he didn't even turn on the lights in the room before he sensed a hand about to attack him. He swiftly dodged to the side and prepared to counterattack.The person attacking him seemed surprised, not expecting him to counter with such strength. Kincaid quickly grabbed the person's hand and swiftly threw them overboard."Ouch," the person groaned in pain as he lay on the floor."Is it over already? I was hoping for more. This is so boring," Jayden's voice echoed in the darkness.Kincaid calmly walked to the switch and turned on the lights, revealing Cole lying on the floor."What are both of you still doing here? I thought you guys might be in your room by now," Kincaid asked, crossing both his hands on his chest."Can you be less serious next time? I may look like a young man, but I'm old in spirit. Have some mercy," Cole said as he struggled to stand up.Kincaid casually glanced at him an

Kincaid walked away into his closet to get something to put on."You can leave the same way you came if there is nothing else. I need to get my beauty sleep as I have some work tomorrow," he said.With that, she felt a surge of pain in her heart and didn't know how to react to this."And I guess it's with Maira, right? You guys have become really close in this short time. Very interesting," Shine said.Kincaid, who had already put on some pants and was about to put on a shirt, smiled."And how is that any of your business? Last I remember, you allowed your friend into your house and even went to the club with him. You can do whatever you want with your life, and I can't do the same? Interesting."Shine was beyond herself in rage. She walked towards the window, about to leave the same way she came, without bothering to answer when he spoke."Oh, and also, I think we've done enough with this fake relationship. I think it's time we let go of this charade so we can both do whatever we wan

The next day, Kincaid arrived at the Pierre mansion, his eyes filled with admiration as he took in the grandeur of the estate. “I'm already there, don't worry I will be with you soon okay” he said with a tender smile .“You sure? I don't want that Maria cockroach to punch on you as soon as you arrive there, "Shine said with gritted teeth. “I knew I to follow you there” “You are cute,” he said and that was enough to shut her up.He couldn't see her but he could sense that she was blusing.“Okay I will coke right to you after this meeting okay” he said and before he could say something else, she hung up.He smiled widely but it soon disappeared when he git down from his car. The mansion stood majestically amidst sprawling gardens, its architecture exuding a timeless elegance. The air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds added a serene melody to the surroundings.A butler, impeccably dressed in a formal suit, stepped forward to greet Kin

As the lingering silence filled the room, Mr. Pierre shifted gears smoothly, changing the subject to business matters. "Now, let's talk about the collaboration for the new hotel project. I've heard remarkable things about your management skills, Kincaid, and I believe your expertise will be invaluable in this endeavor."Kincaid nodded, appreciating the shift in conversation. "Thank you, Mr. Pierre. I've had successful experiences with hotel projects in the past, and I'm eager to explore this opportunity further. With your support and resources, we can create something truly extraordinary."Over the next couple of hours, Kincaid and Mr. Pierre delved into the details of the new hotel venture. They discussed location possibilities, design concepts, target demographics, and potential challenges they might face. Kincaid's passion for the industry was evident, and Mr. Pierre was impressed with his strategic thinking and attention to detail.After their fruitful discussion, Kincaid stood

After Kincaid left, the warm glow of the evening sun painted the mansion's walls in shades of gold. Mr. Pierre and Maria found themselves sitting in the elegant living room, a gentle breeze rustling the curtains.Mr. Pierre studied his granddaughter's face, noticing the wistful look in her eyes. "Maria, my dear, what are you hoping for with Kincaid?" he asked gently.Maria's calm façade vanished into thin air, replaced by a flicker of arrogance. "Well, Grandfather," she began, "I might not know exactly what I'm hoping for, but there's something about Kincaid that intrigues me. He doesn't appear to be someone who's interested in me, but I can't help but feel drawn to him."Mr. Pierre smiled knowingly, reaching out to hold Maria's hands warmly. "My dearest girl, the heart can be a complex thing. It may not always align with what our eyes see. Kincaid is a remarkable man, and I understand why you find him intriguing. If there's something you desire, I support you wholeheartedly."Maria's

“This feels like heaven”Shine walked into the glamourous mall, its rich decorations and luxurious stores making her feel like she had stepped into a world of glamour and extravagance. The marble floors reflected the shimmering lights of chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, and the sound of soft music filled the air, adding to the aura of luxury.Cole followed her closely, carrying a plethora of shopping bags from their previous mall visits. “This… This is like the third mall already”. He seemed a bit overwhelmed and exhausted, but Shine was in high spirits. This was the third mall they had visited that day, and she didn't seem worried about the time or money spent. “Cole hurries we need to get more,” she said and run away excitedly, looking nothing like the cold detective Shine. For her, it was the first time she could indulge in something purely for her pleasure, free from work-related stress and responsibilities.Her eyes sparkled like a child in a candy shop as she sca

Shine felt a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she found herself held in an intimate position by Alec. “Ermm, thank you”She quickly tried to pull herself away from him, putting on an angry and disgusted look.Cole, who had placed the shopping bags away, hurriedly stood before Shine protectively, his fists clenched. "Stay away from her! She's my boss, Kincaid's woman," Cole warned Alec with a fierce glare.Alec smirked, raising his hands in a mock surrender. "No need to act alarmed, my friend. I come in peace," he said, his voice oozing with charm. "I never said I'm interested in your boss lady here," he added, looking at Shine with a playful glint in his eyes. "But I have to admit, the detective is quite the beauty. Wouldn't mind having her as my woman."Cole's protective instincts flared up, and he took a step closer, ready to defend Shine's honor. "Back off! She's not interested in you. It's a shams she is only interested in Kincaid “Cole retorted, his voice laced with a war
