The man approached them and was soon standing before Valerie and Anaya.Anaya pointed at a seat for the man and went ahead to do an introduction.It was her who suggested the lawyer to Valerie.“Mr. Arnold, this is my friend, Valerie Carter. Although you guys have already spoken on the phone, I still have to introduce you two.”"She's in need of a good lawyer to legally battle with her ex-husband. You see, the man has refused to give her her own share of his assets after their divorce.”Turning to Valerie, Anaya continued. “This is Mr. Arnold, the lawyer I told you about. And don't worry about losing the case because he's never lost any in the past.”"He's very good at what he does and I believe that he'd help you with this case. Maxwell's lawyer will have nothing on him.”Valerie pursed her lips and nodded at the man before shaking hands with him. "It's nice to meet you, Sir." “The pleasure is mine. And I look forward to working with you and achieving victory. Mrs Carter.” Mr. Arnol

As soon as the messenger left, Maxwell tore open the letter and browsed through it with his eyes. He didn't need to read every word written on the letter to realize what it was about.Valerie was fulfilling her promise to him and he was ready for her.Since she wanted to drag him to court, then it would be so.All he knows is that Valerie would not get a dime from him.Her family were losers and that's what they'd continue to be.Maxwell chuckled dryly as he stared at the content of the letter. After that, he took his eyes off it, folded it and stuffed it into his trousers pocket.He took out his phone and put a call across to Pablo.The latter picked up as soon as the call came in.“Hello, Maxwell. What is going on over there?" “We have a court case and I hope you're ready and equal to the task this time.” Maxwell said to him.Pablo laughed before replying. "When have I not been ready? I'm ready to defend your case and give you victory anytime you call on me.”“Did we not win the la

Victor and his wife exchanged glances but did not say anything.Patricia quickly excused herself. “I'll go ahead and get the groceries from the car. Thank you so much, my dear." While Patricia went to get the things Valerie bought for them, Valerie handed the money to her father.She was sure that he'd hand over almost all the money back to his wife after taking a little out of it.That was how much Victor loved and trusted his wife.He believed that Patricia would be able to manage the money well, just as she's been doing since they moved into their old villa.He counted the money and saw that it was a total sum of forty thousand dollars. It was the remaining amount from the hundred thousand dollars she got from her husband a while ago.Valerie believed that she'd be able to get more money from her husband because she truly needed those supplements for pregnant women.“Thank you so much, dear." Victor placed the money on the table and called out to Patricia.“Honey, come and see wha

“I understand what you mean, honey. But you know that we made a very big mistake. We should have ended his life when he was already grown up.” Victor spoke in so much regret.He took his glass and had a sip of his wine before turning to his wife with a long face.“We have to look for a way to put an end to his life once and for all." Victor suggested and Patricia agreed with him by nodding."Yeah, we have to do that but not now. We'll be the prime suspect when it happens. And you know that the commissioner can't help us.”"We can't afford to go to prison.”"You're right. We need to be very tactical in our planning and strategizing. When the time is right, we must strike.”"And that Angel betrayer won't escape our wrath as well.”The couple smiled at themselves and nodded.When they saw Valerie walking up to them, they stopped talking. She was still oblivious of her parents' evil deeds.She had made a plate of pancakes for herself and had a glass of orange juice on another hand.“What

When her maid left, Valerie fell into deep thoughts. She was wondering what happened to Maurice.How come the man who had sent some money to her earlier was now dead drunk.When Barbara came back with the driver, she made them carry Maurice to their room while following behind.They soon got to the place and dumped him on the bed.“Take off his shoes.” She ordered Barbara who quickly obeyed her.After they put Maurice to his bed, Valerie turned to her and instructed. “Hurry up and serve my dinner, I'm really famished." “Yes, Ma'am." Barbara and the driver turned to leave but she was called back while the man was asked to leave.“You. I hope you've not been running your mouth outside about what's going on here?" “I don't understand, Ma'am." Barbara gave her a confusing look while trying to comprehend what she was saying.Valerie stepped forward and gave her an intense glare before muttering. “You're always here and I'm sure that you overhear almost every conversation between Maurice

“Angel, what do you want? Why are you calling me repeatedly?" “I told you that I don't want to have anything to do with you but you're just so stubborn." Maxwell could easily call the police and ask them to send a restraining order for Angel. However, for some reason, he did not do it.He believed that Angel would soon get tired and stop coming after him.Maxwell had told her that he'd never forgive her for what she did but the latter had refused to give up.She was not backing down until Maxwell forgave her.In fact, she wants to be friends with him which might take some time to achieve.“Hi, Max. I'm outside your gate but your security won't let me in. I came to pick you up so that we can have dinner together." “Please, don't keep me waiting." Angel responded and ended the call immediately.She was hoping that Maxwell would come out and meet with her outside. If possible, they'd go and have dinner together.Angel didn't mind all the embarrassments she was getting from Maxwell. It

Angel did not like the comparison that was just made by Maxwell.She was not a golddigger like the Morgans. She earned every penny she has and worked hard for it. Even though some were illegal, she still worked for it.Comparing her with the Morgans was an insult to her person.“So you see, Maxwell. I'm not a golddigger like them. I work hard for my money.” Angel added with furrowed brows as she glared at Maxwell.Maxwell didn't say any more words to her, he just sighed and turned around, making his way back inside.“You can leave when you're done standing there. And thank you for the offer, it was thoughtful of you to look out for me." As Maxwell went in, his guards followed behind but one look from him sent them hurrying away from his side.If not for Pablo, he would have sacked them immediately. He didn't want anyone following him around.When Maxwell left her standing at the place, Angel stood there for a while before going into her car and zooming off.While in the car, she put

It was hard to believe that Angel was in love.“I mean it, Gratel. Although I don't know how it happened, I believe it's true.” “I've fallen in love with the man and I can't help it. I can't even get myself to tell him the truth because he never wants to see me.”“Hmph." Gratel chuckled and swallowed hard.She gave Angel a strange look, getting the latter quite uncomfortable.“Why are you giving me that look like I'm incapable of loving? I know that I act all strong and tough outside. However, I truly want to love someone and be loved back in return.”Gratel could not believe her eyes. Angel made herself completely vulnerable before her.She's not seen Angel in that state before. It only meant that she was speaking the truth.After a moment of silence, Gratel sighed deeply before asking her. “Tell me what you did. And who's the guy that's making you act this way." “I'd really love to see him." “It's someone I once sent to prison." Angel replied.“How did you send him to prison? Ple

Victor stood up and began to pace around the sitting room.“How dare he lay a finger on my daughter? And he did not even consider your condition." He was totally mad but helpless at the same time.After pacing for sometime, he sighed deeply and started towards the door. “I'm going over there to deal with that bastard for beating up my daughter.”Victor had resolved to fight with Maurice if he had to.Maurice does not have the right to beat up his daughter no matter what.“Don't go there, please. I don't want you to get into any more trouble because of Maurice.” Patricia swiftly ran and blocked his path.She believed that confronting Maurice and starting a fight with him would not solve the problem.“You're not going there to start a fight with your son-in-law. I won't allow that. There's a better way to resolve such an issue of domestic violence." "Moreover, we're yet to deal with the issue with Maxwell. If we're able to take over everything he has, then we'll have all the power and

Maurice's driver and the security guard had hurried to the scene when they heard someone screaming.Barbara, the maid, had also run to call them for help only to see them running towards the house.They flung the door open and ran to see Valerie on the ground while Maurice was pouncing on her.They had to act fast and dragged Maurice up, shoving him aside without minding if he was their boss.“Sir, this is so wrong. You don't hit a woman. And do you want to kill her?” His driver seriously scolded him.Maurice glared at each of them and straightened his clothes before he began to ascend the stairs without a word.While he left them, Barbara ran to meet up with Valerie.They helped her up and she was led to the sitting room.Barbara hurried to the kitchen to get someone ice cubes for Valerie's injuries.When Barbara was back from the ice cubes, the men decided to leave them alone.They were completely speechless and could not say anything to Valerie. All they felt for her was pity.They

Maxwell's face paled when he heard the words from Gratel. He stood frozen at a spot and could not get himself to move or even utter a word.All he did was gape at the young lady before him.Angel was missing, how?“I don't believe you." Maxwell suddenly replied, shaking his head vigorously.He doesn't know the strange girl standing before him and there's no way he'd believe a word from her.She's a total stranger who claimed to be Angel's friend. What if she's lying or probably up to something.“What do you hope to achieve by doing this? And why are you telling me about it, that's if it's true.”"I've been trying to reach her but she hasn't been reachable since the previous day.”"Then wait for her to reach you. She's an adult and not a child who can suddenly go missing.” Maxwell suddenly snapped at her. He kept a straight face and closed in on the young lady, standing before her face.He tilted himself and whispered to her. “Leave this place now before I call security on you. Your pl

As soon as the lawyer left them there at the courtroom, Valerie yelled in frustration while breathing heavily. After a moment of silence, she turned to her parents with a long face and said to them,“Mom, Dad. You have to go home now. I'll try and figure out what I must do next to get what I deserve. I'm never giving up on getting my own share of his properties.”Victor and his wife shared confusing glances and wanted to retort but Valerie was not in the mood to listen.She quickly told her parents off and sent them on their way home.After that, Valerie left the courtroom as well and drove away to meet up with her friend.She got to Anaya’s coffee shop and found both of her friends engrossed in a serious conversation. However, they stopped talking when they saw Valerie approaching them.Valerie, who was unsuspecting of her friends, gloomily went to meet up with them.“What's going on with you, Val?" Anaya was the first to inquire as she drew out a chair for Valerie to sit on. She was

Maxwell scoffed loudly and turned his gaze back to his ex-wife. After a moment of silence, he said to her in a disgusting tone. “And you, we had something good going on between us but you let your parents deceive you." “If you didn't listen to them, we would have still been together and there won't be any need for this court case." “Well, except for the court case between your parents and I because I needed to reclaim my father's legacy which they stole." “You are a damn cheat and rapist. How do you expect me to believe someone like you who was not content with his wife. You had to go and cheat on me with another woman and even went as far as raping her.” Valerie retorted angrily, her face burning with so much rage.Maxwell looked at her for a while and laughed before replying. "You're still in the dark. Go ahead and ask your parents what truly happened.”"You should have known by now that your parents framed me.”Valerie had already found out about that part of the story. She only

A while later, he was ready and made his way downstairs to meet a meal of Omelette muffins and a cup of coffee.“Good morning, Sir. Your breakfast is served. And I do hope you'll enjoy it.” Damian, the chef greeted him while standing by the side.Kay and Leilani, the new maids, also stood beside Damian and greeted in unison.“Good morning, Sir." At first, Maxwell was caught unawares and only gaped at the strangers before him.He was not used to seeing them around.“Sir, are you okay?" Damian's question jolted him out of his reverie and he forced out a smile and nodded.“I'm fine, thank you for the breakfast." Maxwell replied to him. He turned to the maids and nodded at them. “Good morning, uh…”"It's Kay and Leilani." Kay reminded him of their names as she pointed at herself and the other person. And from the way they acted, Maxwell believed that they must be close friends Since they were only new employees, Maxwell had still not memorized their names so they had to remind him.“Oh,

Without even casting a glance at her, Maurice left the room. Valerie had fallen on the ground from the push and remained on the ground while cursing at her husband.Everything was happening like a movie. Her loving and caring husband who worshipped the ground she walked on have changed.He was gradually changing into something she could not explain.Valerie gradually stood up from the ground and followed her husband quietly. She got downstairs and heard Maurice ordering the maid.“Barbara. Get me my dinner now." He yelled in frustration. He was really hungry and had just realized it after throwing up and getting himself cleaned up.Maurice was famished and when the maid came with his food, he did not let the plate sit on the table before digging into it.While he ate, Valerie sat on a sofa in the sitting room, watching him with a deep frown on her face.She was angry and thinking as well. What was she missing?For all the time she's been married to Maurice, he's never raised his voic

Pablo smiled sadly and said to him, "I miss them as well. And I'm certain that your parents are proud of you. I know that they would have traded anything to stay alive and see you grow up.”He reached out and patted Maxwell gently on the back. “You're strong, Maxwell and I'm happy to help you." Maxwell remained silent and after a while, he decided to wave it off. “Thank you for offering to help me fight those people in court. I know how busy you've become but you chose to always stand by me.”"Stop thanking me. It's my duty to always fight for you. Your Dad was a good man and treated me well. So let's say that I'm repaying his good deeds.” Pablo replied to him, smiling warmly.After their time together at the place, Pablo went back home and so did Maxwell.Since he was studying online, he needed to go home and meet up with his classes.Maxwell wanted to learn more about business management. His father has left him with some businesses which he had taken over.However, he was not cap

"Thank you, Boss.” Angel muttered and turned around to leave. Her heart was beating chaotically as she walked out in freedom.Well, her freedom depends on her. However, she had no intention of snitching on the Boss.Moreover, he helped her in the past and she's been surviving from what she earns from errands and other stuff she was involved in.***Later that evening, Maxwell met up with his lawyer, Pablo at a fancy coffee cafe.They wanted to discuss the court case which would be happening the next day.The man was already at the place and was sipping coffee when Maxwell showed up.“Mr. Pablo." He greeted the man and sat opposite the man who responded to him with a nod.He sat on the chair opposite Mr. Pablo and ordered coffee for himself as well.“I can see that you're handling things just fine at the company." Pablo commented with a warm smile on his face and Maxwell nodded in excitement.“It's going really fine. And as it stands, we have two huge projects that will be starting soo
