Michael had called Kathryn earlier that Saturday and invited her to come over to his house. His heart raced as he gazed at Kathryn. She looked more beautiful than ever, and he knew without a doubt that she was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath, mustering the courage to speak the words that had been on his mind for weeks."Kathryn, I have something very important to ask you," Michael said, his voice trembling with excitement.Kathryn looked up from her drink and met his gaze. "What is it?" She asked, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips."I know we've only been seeing each other for a short while, but I can't imagine my life without you," Michael said, his heart pounding in his chest. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"Kathryn's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't been expecting this. She had been enjoying Michael's company, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to commit to m
As soon as they left the park, Rose couldn't help but ask Taylor about Lena. She tried to keep her tone calm and inquisitive, but there was a hint of discomfort in her voice."Taylor, who was that woman?" Rose asked, turning to face him."That was Lena. She was a college classmate," Taylor responded, looking at Rose."College classmate? She seemed a bit too familiar with you. And why did she have to hug you like that?" Rose asked, feeling a little bit jealous.Taylor noticed the jealousy in her tone and smiled. "Relax, Rose. Lena is just a friend. Nothing is going on between us.""But it seemed like she was trying to get your attention," Rose said, still not convinced."Look, Rose. Lena has always been like that. She's just friendly. I know it might seem a little bit strange to you, but you have nothing to worry about," Taylor reassured her.Rose was not entirely convinced, but she trusted Taylor enough to believe him. After all, they had been through a lot together, and he had never
As the days passed, Paul Felix tried to reach out to Stephanie and Jakes but their phones were unreachable.

He had always been a difficult man, and his relationship with Stephanie had been strained for some time.Stephanie, on the other hand, was avoiding him.She had no interest in dealing with her father's demands for money. She knew that he was capable of doing anything to get what he wanted, and she didn't want to be a part of it. She had also heard about what he did to Mrs Allison and was scared that he might do something similar to her.Paul began to worry when he noticed that Jakes and Stephanie's numbers were not going through.

He prayed fervently that nothing bad ha
Michael sat at his desk, staring blankly at his computer screen. He couldn't concentrate on the project he was supposed to be working on. All he could think about was Kathryn and how she had chosen to go back to Mark. He felt helpless and defeated. He had put so much effort into his first plan, only for it to fall apart.After several days of moping around, Michael decided that he needed to come up with a new plan. He thought long and hard about what he could do to win Kathryn back, and eventually, an idea came to him.

Lena walked into Taylor's office on a Tuesday afternoon, her eyes scanning the room until they landed on Taylor, who was sitting behind his desk. He looked up and frowned when he saw her."Lena, what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice cold.Lena took a step forward, a small smile playing on her lips. "I just wanted to see you," she said, her eyes sparkling.Taylor's frown deepened. "We haven't spoken in years, Lena, until I met you recently. What makes you think it's okay to just show up at my office?"Lena's smile faltered, but she quickly recovered. "I just wanted to catch up, see how you're doing," she said, moving closer to Taylor's desk.Taylor leaned back in his chair, his arms folded across his chest. "I'm doing just fine, thanks. But I think it's time for you to leave now."Lena's eyes flickered with disappointment, but she didn't give up. "Taylor, don't you remember the good times we had together?" she asked, her voice taking on a sultry tone.Taylor's expression turned

"Michael, I've been impressed by your work here at the company. Your ideas have helped us to grow, and I see a bright future for you here. But I also want to know more about you as a person. Tell me about your family and your upbringing."Mi
Lena couldn't stop thinking about Taylor. The more she thought about him, the more she became desperate to get his attention. She knew he was married, but she didn't care. She wanted him for herself.She tried to get in touch with him several times after their encounter at his office. She called him, but he never picked up. She sent him text messages, but he never replied. She even tried to visit his office again, but she was told he was busy.Lena knew she had to do something drastic to get his attention. She thought about what she could do and came up with an idea. She decided to send Taylor a gift.Lena went to the mall and bought a designer suit and a pair of shoes.

He was surprised but didn't think too much of it. He thought it was just a friendly gesture from an old friend.However, Lena was not
Jakes sat at the kitchen table, staring at his phone. His heart raced as he read the threatening messages from Paul. He knew he had to do something before it was too late."Steph, you have to see these messages," Jakes said, standing up from the table and walking over to where Stephanie was sitting on the couch."What messages?" Stephanie asked, setting down the book she was reading."From your dad," Jakes replied, handing over his phone.Stephanie's face fell as she read the messages. "He can't do this," she said, her voice shaking with anger. "He can't just demand money from us and threaten us when we refuse."Jakes nodded in agreement. "I think we need to report him to the police," he said his voice firm.Stephanie hesitated. "But he's still my father, Jakes. We can't just go to the police without giving him a chance to talk to us first."Jakes sighed. "I know he's your father, Steph, but this isn't right. He can't just treat us like this and expect us to give him money. We have to
