As he sat there, alone, he began to reflect on everything that had happened. He realized that he had been blinded by his love for Sarah and he had ignored the warning signs.He couldn't help but feel like he had wasted so much time and energy on something that was never going to work out. He regretted not listening to his parents and others who warned him about Sarah.The more he thought about it, the more he knew that ending things with her was the right decision. He deserved better than this, and he couldn't let himself be dragged down by Sarah's problems.As the night passed, Anthony started to feel a sense of relief. He realized that he no longer had to deal with the constant drama and danger that came with being involved with Sarah.He resolved to move on with his life and focus on himself. He knew that it wasn't going to be easy, but he was ready to face the challenge.Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Anthony threw himself into work, focusing on building h
Alex Lafayette and his friend Simon had arrived at the Lafayette Estate in style. They'd come in Alex's shiny, black, four-wheeled Maserati Granturismo, and were greeted at the gates with a hearty welcome by the estate manager, Daniel."Good morning, sir," said Daniel with a polite bow. "Welcome to the Lafayette Estate.""Good morning, Daniel," replied Alex with a smile. "It's good to be back."The two of them had known each other for years, ever since Alex had inherited the estate from his grandfather, Marcel Lafayette. Daniel had been the estate manager for as long as Alex could remember, and had always been a reliable and trustworthy asset to the family. Alex didn't think twice about talking to Daniel directly when he had news to share."Daniel, I'm interested in buying a house here in the estate," said Alex, getting straight to the point.The estate manager's brows knitted together in surprise. "Really, sir? Would this be in addition to the main house or…?""No, no," said Alex,
*Flashback Of Roland's Visit To Katherine's Grave*Roland stood before the grave of Katherine, his high school classmate and best friend who he always had feelings for. It was a beautiful sunny day, but he felt only sorrow and pain. He placed a bouquet of beautiful purple roses that he had brought for her close to her stone. As he sat down, he felt like he was in a different world, a world where all his hopes and dreams were crushed.The cemetery was located on the outskirts of the city, and it was surrounded by beautiful trees. Roland had never been there before but he felt drawn to it as soon as he heard about Katherine's passing. The grave was located near the edge of the cemetery, where the trees created a nice shade. Roland had chosen the spot to place the bouquet because he knew Katherine loved roses and purple was her favorite color.Roland wore a black suit, a white shirt, and a black tie. He had always heard that one should dress properly for a funeral or a visit to the c
Simon dragged his feet as he entered the apartment. All he wanted to do was take a hot shower and get some rest after a long day with Alex. However, his plans were put on hold when he found Debbie furiously shuffling through papers at the kitchen table.“What's going on?” Simon asked, leaning over Debbie's shoulder to see what she was looking at.“These are documents concerning my bar, Simon,” Debbie snapped, pushing the papers towards him. “But I can't find the main ones. I need them to fight Roland.”“Fight Roland?” Simon repeated, taking a step back. “Wait, what's going on with Roland?”The moron had just forgotten the fact that Roland was trying to take revenge, or did he pretend to forget?Debbie let out a sob, covering her face with her hands. “He's trying to demolish the shopping mall where my bar is located, Simon. He wants revenge on me for what I did to him in the past.”Simon shook his head in disbelief. “Debbie, I had no idea this was even happening. Why didn't you tell
Roland stood at the edge of the demolition site, the sound of machinery and destruction echoing all around him. His eyes scanned the area, taking in the rubble and debris that littered the ground.It was a horrible sight, but to Roland, it was also a beautiful sight. He was finally taking revenge on Debbie, the woman who had broken his heart and destroyed his life.For years, he had planned this moment, waiting patiently for his chance to strike back. And now, he was finally making his move.“Move that bulldozer over there,” he barked, pointing to a pile of rubble in the distance. “And make sure you clear out all the debris from that corner.”The construction workers nodded, afraid to disobey their boss. Roland had always been a stern supervisor, but today he was even more ruthless than usual. His eyes were cold and unfeeling, his voice harsh and unforgiving.He didn't care. All that mattered was the revenge he was exacting on Debbie.As the workers moved the heavy machinery, Roland
As Roland stepped out of the office building, he felt a surge of anger building inside of him. He couldn't believe that someone was trying to sabotage his efforts, especially now that he was finally on the brink of exacting his revenge on Debbie.He was so lost in thought that he didn't notice the sound of footsteps approaching him until someone spoke up."Mr. Lafayette?"Roland turned to look at the man who had addressed him, feeling slightly irritated. He didn't have time to deal with anyone else's problems right now."What is it?" he snapped. "I'm in the middle of something."The man hesitated, looking slightly intimidated by Roland's cold tone. But he seemed to steel himself and stepped forward."I'm sorry to bother you, sir," he said. "But I work for the local newspaper, and I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about the demolition."Roland frowned, feeling slightly skeptical. He didn't trust the media, and he had a feeling that this newspaper reporter was up to so
Roland Lafayette stood atop the rubble pile, watching as the excavators tore through the last of the old shopping mall. He had been looking forward to this moment for days, ever since he had taken charge of the demolition project and it was also an opportunity for him.The mall had been a blight on the community for years, and he was determined to raze it to the ground."Bring those walls down!" he shouted over the roar of the machinery.The excavator operators nodded, revving their engines and pulling back on their controls. The metal jaws of the machines bit into the last of the walls, sending clouds of dust and debris spraying into the air. The work crew cheered as the walls crumbled, revealing the interior of the building.Roland rubbed his hands together with glee. This had been his dream job, and he had poured every ounce of his energy into it. He had spent countless hours planning and preparing for the demolition, and now it was finally happening."Mr. Lafayette!"Roland tu
Roland pulled up to the Lafayette Mansion, the tires of his car crunching against the gravel driveway as he made his way to the entrance. He was exhausted, having spent the entire day at the demolition site overseeing the destruction of the old shopping mall, but his mind was still racing with thoughts of revenge against Debbie for what she had done to him in the past.As he stepped out of his car, he handed his keys over to the manservant waiting for him and made his way inside the towering mansion, his footsteps heavy with fatigue. With barely enough energy to make it to his room, he started weaving through the corridors before coming to a sudden stop.There, standing in front of him, was Seraphina, his maid, dressed in a revealing black dress that hugged her curves. She stood there, her red lips slightly parted as she looked up at him with twinkling eyes."Good evening, sir," she said softly.Roland looked at her, feeling a twitch in his pants as he saw the way her body stretche

Months passed since Roland and Seraphina's enchanting wedding, marking the start of a new chapter in their lives. The Lafayette mansion, once again filled with joy and laughter, became a haven of love and harmony.Roland, now fully committed to being a devoted husband, made it his mission to create a life of happiness and fulfillment for Seraphina. Their days were filled with shared adventures, passionate conversations, and a deepening bond that seemed to grow stronger with each passing moment.As they strolled through the mansion's magnificent garden, hand in hand, Roland turned to Seraphina with a mischievous grin. "My love, how would you feel about embarking on a journey together? A journey beyond these walls, where we can explore the world and create unforgettable memories?"Seraphina's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Oh, Roland, that sounds absolutely incredible! I've always dreamed of experiencing new places, cultures, and adventures with you by my side."With their hearts set o
Two months had passed since the Lafayette brothers, Roland and Alex, had reconciled their differences. The tension that had once loomed over their relationship had dissipated, and a newfound bond had formed between them. Roland, now aware of the importance of love and family, had decided to take a significant step in his life by proposing to Seraphina, his devoted maid turned love interest.It was a sunny afternoon when Roland finalized his plans to surprise Seraphina. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, he sought the help of his brother Alex, who was more than willing to assist him in his endeavor. The brothers had grown close over the past two months, and Alex had become a confidant and a source of wisdom for Roland."Alex, I need your help," Roland said, pacing back and forth in his study. "I want to propose to Seraphina, but I want it to be special. I want her to remember this moment for the rest of our lives."Alex leaned back in his chair, pondering the situation. "Brother, y
Seraphina's words lingered in Roland's mind, her plea for him to make peace with Alex echoing in his thoughts. As he sat in his study, contemplating the path forward, he realized that her words held a profound truth. The pursuit of the will had consumed him, clouding his judgment and overshadowing the importance of family.He took a deep breath, his decision crystallizing within him. Seraphina was right. Blood ran deep, and no matter the past, Alex was still his brother. It was time to put aside the bitter rivalry and find a way to coexist, if not as allies, then at least as family.With a renewed sense of purpose, Roland reached for his phone and dialed Alex's number. The line rang for a moment before Alex's voice came through, tinged with a hint of indifference."What do you want, brother?" Alex's tone carried a mix of annoyance and curiosity.Roland took a steadying breath. "Alex, I want to meet with you," he said, his voice firm but calm. "I think it's time we put our differences
As Roland approached his room, a sense of unease washed over him. The air felt heavy, charged with anticipation. Seraphina's words echoed in his mind, reminding him that there might be more to Alex than met the eye. Could it be possible that Alex's true heritage held the answers to his behavior?With a mix of reluctance and curiosity, Roland entered his room to find Seraphina still waiting there. Her eyes were puffy, hinting at tears she had shed in his absence. She looked up, her gaze filled with concern and compassion."Roland, I'm so sorry for everything," Seraphina said softly, her voice trembling. "I never wanted this to happen. I never meant to hurt you."Roland sighed, the turmoil within him evident in his weary expression. "Seraphina, I... I don't know what to believe anymore," he admitted, his voice laced with a tinge of vulnerability. "Butler Lucas told me the truth about Alex, about his origins. It's hard to fathom."Seraphina reached out, her hand gently touching Roland's
Roland paced back and forth in his room, his anger simmering beneath the surface. The revelation of the will had shaken him to the core, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal. Seraphina, sensing his distress, approached him cautiously."Roland, please," she implored, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "There's more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there's a reason why Alex was named as the heir. We should consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions."Her words only fueled Roland's frustration. "How can you say that, Seraphina?" he snapped, pulling away from her touch. "After everything we've been through, all the evidence of his true nature, you expect me to believe he's the rightful heir? It's preposterous!"Seraphina's eyes filled with concern as she watched Roland struggle with his emotions. She knew the depths of his convictions, but she also believed in looking at the situation from all angles."Roland, I understand your anger, but we must keep an o
A stunned silence engulfed the room, the weight of the words hanging in the air like a dark cloud. Roland's world seemed to collapse around him, the walls of the study closing in. It was as if everything he had fought for, everything he had hoped to achieve, had been cruelly snatched away in an instant."No," Roland gasped, his voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and devastation. The room spun around him, his vision blurred by unshed tears. It felt like a nightmare, an unfathomable twist of fate that threatened to suffocate him.Alex, his face contorted with a mix of triumph and malice, stepped forward, relishing in Roland's anguish. "You see, dear brother," he hissed, "I always knew I would inherit what was rightfully mine. This empire was built for me, and now it shall finally be mine to command."Butler Lucas, his usually composed demeanor cracking, shot a disapproving glare at Alex. "This is not the time for gloating, Mr. Lafayette," he snapped, his voice edged with barely con
The lawyer cleared his throat, his hands trembling ever so slightly as he held the sealed envelope containing Chairman Lafayette's will. The weight of the moment hung heavily in the air, as everyone in the study held their breath, their eyes fixed on the lawyer, waiting for the revelations that would shape their futures."Can you read out the will, now!?" Alex ordered with a commanding tone.The lawyer nodded in response as fear gripped him. With a steady hand, the lawyer carefully opened the envelope and extracted the document within. He unfolded it slowly, deliberately, as if prolonging the suspense. His gaze flickered across the words before him, ensuring that he had a firm grasp of its contents before he began."Before I proceed," the lawyer began, his voice resonating with a mix of formality and gravity, "I must emphasize that the final will of Chairman Lafayette contains several clauses, each pertaining to different aspects of the estate and its businesses."Roland's heart rac
