AT THE KARDASHIAN VILLA

In the living room, Hannah sat on a tall chair in the center of the room, to her right seated Kingsley and his immediate family, on the couch to her left was Barnes with two men and a priest. While in front of her, just beside the door was Albert, Catherine and Sydney. They stood there excluded with no seats.

Hannah glanced at the clock and frowned, “This stubborn girl, how dare she waste so much time”.

When Albert noticed how annoyed and impatient her mother was getting, he took a few steps forward. “Mother you—”.

“I’m not your mother!” Hannah snapped cutting him off. “Unless I have the investment papers in my hand you are not family. Now step back and stand beside the door,” she scowled, exasperated.

Barnes chuckled smugly, leaned back, and promised, “Don’t worry, Grandma Hannah, once Kim divorces that trash and gets married to me, I’ll make the call and the deal will happen in a few hours,” he chuckled confidently.

Shortly afterwards, Kim hastily entered the

    Kim stared at the papers before her, devastation etched across her face. If only Grandma Hannah had believed her, things could have been so different. Instead of pushing her to divorce Ryan, Grandma would be popping champagne to celebrate the deal.Ryan stood beside his wife, visibly exasperated, battling the urge to grab the papers from Hannah and shred them to pieces. This naive woman wasn’t being fair.“What are you waiting for, Kim? Sign the divorce papers already! Or do you plan to defy Grandma again? Don’t you want us to be welcomed back into the family?” Sydney urged, her voice sharp with frustration.To Sydney, her sister divorcing Ryan would be killing two birds with one stone—being accepted back into the family and getting Ryan out of their lives for good. Just like her parents, Ryan was just a waste of space and time in her sister's life.Kim’s gaze flickered to her sidelined family, their expressions filled with the same expectation as Sydney’s—urging her to end the marria

It was surprising enough that she managed to finalize the agreement, but the real shock was the fact that Mr. Singh personally brought the documents to her.After Kim collected the documents, Halbert wasted no time. Without addressing anyone else, he turned on his heel and left the house with his secretary in tow. Just before exiting the room, he exchanged a discreet nod with Ryan.This was all Ryan’s doing.

    The next morning in the living room, Catherine hung up from a call and started screaming loudly.“Ryan, where are you? Come quickly! It hurts so badly, I’m about to die!” Her voice rang through the house, sharp and desperate.Ryan was in his bedroom preparing to leave for work when he heard the shells of her screams from downstairs. Without wasting a beat he quickly ran to her in the living room.“Mom?! I’m here, what’s wrong?” his face flushed with worry and concern as he approached her.As soon as she saw him, Catherine clutched her abdomen and wailed even louder. "Oh, my dear son-in-law, please save your poor mother-in-law! The pain is unbearable!"Ryan was dazed. Did he hear right? Catherine just called him ‘her dear son-in-law?’ He couldn’t even remember the last time she said a kind word to him. The sun must’ve risen from the West today for her to speak to him so politely.“Ryan, I’m in so much pain, my condition’s just worsened and I’m about to die. Only you can save me,” she g

    “What do you want?” Ryan frowned. “If it’s money you’re looking for, I don’t have any. You better step away, as you can see I’m in a hurry to deliver these herbs to my mother-in-law”.He said and tried to walk away, but Spaco, the gang leader took quicker steps blocking his path again.“Woah, not so fast man”.Spaco smirked and retrieved a small picture from his pocket. He stared at it intensely, then raised his eyes to Ryan, a smirk curled on his lips.He snapped his fingers, gesturing at his men. "That's him. We've got our guy." With a grin, he stepped back, letting his crew take over.The men moved fast, surrounding Ryan, cracking knuckles and tapping weapons in their palms.Ryan’s eyes darted, tracking each one. He didn’t know who they were, but they sure weren’t here to say good morning."Stay back. I don’t want trouble with any of you," he warned calmly."We don’t want trouble either," Spaco shot back sarcastically. His face hardened as he turned to his men. “What are you waitin

You know what to do,” she said curtly before hanging up.Without hesitation, she made another call. “Everything is going perfectly. I’ve sent that loser straight to his grim reapers. You can come over now—it’s time for plan number two,” she whispered, her voice dripping with malice. A sly chuckle escaped her lips as she ended the call.Once she finished the second call, she tossed the phone back to the table, leaned her back into the couch with a sigh of relief.

Mom, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”Catherine slowly wiped away her crocodile tears, her expression a picture of faux sorrow. “Kim, dear,” she began, her voice heavy with contrived emotion, “your husband has left you for a middle-aged millionaire widow who lives abroad. He admitted everything to me—he said she came into town months ago on a business deal, and he’s been cheating on you with her for the past two months.”Kim stared in stunned silence as Catherine continued her tale of deceit.“He confessed that he never truly loved you,” Catherine said, her voice trembling with exaggerated grief. “He’s been pretending all these years just to le

We're already running late, and you know how much Mom hates it when anyone’s late to her events."From the driver’s seat of the car, Albert, Kim’s father, drummed impatiently on the steering wheel.“One more minute, Dad. Ryan will be here soon,” Kim responded quickly, her eyes darting to her watch once more.“You’ve been saying that for the past ten minutes. If we leave now, it’ll save us all from the embarrassment of showing up with that loser”.Catherine snapped from the front seat, her tone sharp. She was Kim’s mother and never shied away from voicing her opinions, especially when it involved Ryan.“I don’t know why you keep insisting he comes. He’s just going to make a fool of himself again,” Sydney, Kim’s younger sister, chimed in from the backseat, crossing her arms in disdain.Ryan was Kim’s husband and the three

    After the call, Kim looked at her husband with a sad expression. “Ryan, what if Mom and Dad were right? What will happen if I fail to secure the deal?”Ryan smiled reassuringly and held her hand. “Don’t worry, dear. I trust you. You stayed up all night preparing the proposal; they’ll certainly accept it.”Kim sighed and forced an awkward smile before they walked into the building.“Good morning, ma’am, sir! Welcome to Pinnacle Investment. How may I assist you?” the young lady at the front desk greeted them warmly, her smile lighting up her face.The new receptionist appeared calm and kind, unlike her predecessor. Truth be told, Lucy had gotten what she deserved for being so ignorant and rude.The couple exchanged a glance, and Ryan nodded calmly. Kim stepped forward. “Good day, Miss. I’m here on behalf of KK Enterprises to present an investment request to the CEO.”As soon as she spoke, a man walking out of the building scoffed. “KK Enterprises? You must be joking!
