Gracia sat in her office, staring blankly at the stack of rejected proposals on her desk. The weight of the company's impending collapse hung heavily over her. She couldn't shake the image of Harvey, no longer the worthless son-in-law she once saw him as, but a powerful and influential figure in the business world. The realization filled her with regret.She had underestimated him, belittled him, and now he held all the cards. If only she could convince him to help. His unique ideas and business acumen were their only hope to lift the company out of this mess.Gracia couldn't help but think back to all the times she had dismissed him, treated him with contempt. And now, here she was, desperate and humbled, needing his help more than ever."How could I have been so blind?" she muttered to herself, her voice heavy with regret.The memory of their last conversation replayed in her mind. His cold, unforgiving demeanor. The way he looked at her, devoid of any empathy or concern. It was cle
One afternoon, Harvey’s phone buzzed with a call from an old colleague at Stephenson’s. “Hey, Harvey. Just wanted to give you a heads-up. Gracia’s been coming around here looking for you. She’s desperate.”Harvey smirked, his mind already working on a plan. “Thanks for the info. I think it’s time for a little payback. She’s been spreading lies about me to investors, trying to save her sinking ship.”The next day, Harvey decided to give Gracia a taste of her own medicine. He instructed his assistant to book an appointment with her, ensuring it was a time when he’d be in the office but hidden away in a private room.Gracia showed up right on time, her face a mixture of hope and desperation. She sat in the waiting area, glancing around nervously. Harvey watched from a concealed spot, relishing the tension in her body language.His assistant approached her, a rehearsed look of regret on her face. “I’m sorry, Ms. Gracia, but Mr. Harvey had to step out for an urgent meeting. Can we reschedu
Anderson paced back and forth in his study, frustration gnawingI atday him. Gracia's failed attempts to reach Harvey were wearing on his patience. Each day brought a new disappointment, another reminder of how far they’d fallen."Damn it, Gracia!" he muttered under his breath, running a hand through his thinning hair. "How hard can it be to get through to him?"Gracia stood in the doorway, her face a mixture of worry and exhaustion. "I’ve tried everything, Anderson. He won’t answer our calls, and he keeps dodging our meetings."Anderson clenched his fists, struggling to keep his composure. "We can’t give up now. Harvey is our last hope. If anyone can help us turn this around, it’s him."She nodded, her eyes filled with desperate determination. "I know. I’ll keep trying. We can’t afford to lose him.""Good," he replied, his voice firm. "We need his ideas, his tactics. Without him, we’re finished."Days turned into weeks, and Anderson's frustration only grew. Every time he thought they
With Nadia's help, Harvey finally tracked down their stepmother, Katie. He couldn’t let her go unpunished for everything she’d done. She had to face the consequences of her actions, and he was determined to be the one to make that happen.Nadia and Harvey sat in his office, surrounded by files and documents. She had done a thorough job gathering all the information they needed. Katie had been hiding in plain sight, living comfortably off the wealth she had accumulated through deceit and manipulation."We have to be careful," Nadia warned, her voice steady but firm. "Katie is cunning, and she won’t go down without a fight."Harvey nodded, his jaw clenched. "I know. But she’s not getting away with this."They formulated a plan, meticulously detailing every step. Harvey wanted to hit her where it hurt the most—her reputation and her finances. She needed to feel the same despair and hopelessness she had inflicted on his family.The first step was to gather evidence of her fraudulent activ
Harvey decided it was time to turn his attention to Henry. Henry had always been as deceitful and conniving as their mother, Katie, and Harvey knew he was up to no good. Using the resources at his disposal, Harvey began to monitor Henry's every move.Henry had always been a snake, slithering through life with a façade of charm and integrity. But beneath that exterior, he was rotten to the core. Harvey hired a few discreet private investigators to tail him, observe his activities, and gather evidence of his misdeeds.Over the next few weeks, reports started coming in. Henry was defrauding people left and right, pretending to be the CEO of their father’s company. He was exploiting his connections, lying through his teeth to secure investments and partnerships. The arrogance he displayed was infuriating, but Harvey knew he had to be patient.One evening, as Harvey sat in his office, his phone buzzed with a message from one of the investigators."Harvey, you need to see this," the message
Gracia sat at her kitchen table, tapping her fingers impatiently. She was growing more frustrated with each passing day.Harvey, the man she had once thought she could build a life with, was now treating her like she didn’t exist.It was as if she had become invisible to him. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be. Gracia's best friend, Jane, sat across from her, sipping on a cup of coffee. Jane had been listening to Gracia's complaints about Harvey for weeks, trying to offer comfort and advice."I just don't get it, Jane," Gracia said, her voice tinged with desperation. "Why is he acting like this? Haven't you begged enough?"Jane sighed, setting her cup down."Gracia, sometimes men can be idiots. Maybe he's going through something and doesn't know how to talk about it. Maybe, I should give him time."Gracia shook her head. "No, it's more than that. It's like he doesn’t even see me anymore. I need to do something to get his attention, to remind him of what he used to feel about me
Jane’s heart pounded in her chest as she watched Harvey from a distance. She had decided to take Gracia’s plan a step further by following Harvey around town, hoping to create a more good impression. She wanted to keep him interested and make him think of her more often.Harvey was heading into a store, and Jane saw her chance. She trailed him quietly, keeping a safe distance so he wouldn’t notice her.As he entered the store, she waited a few moments before following him inside. Jane took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. This had to work.Inside the store, Jane pretended to browse the shelves, keeping an eye on Harvey’s movements. He was looking at some items in the home improvement section, seemingly lost in thought. Jane saw her opportunity and made her way towards him, her heart racing.Just as she approached, Jane pretended to trip and let her purse slip from her shoulder. She wanted to know if Harvey liked her enough to care.The contents spilled across the floor, mak
Jane trudged back to Anderson's home, her mind was in a whirlpool of humiliation and anger. She could still feel the weight of Harvey's stern warning and the eyes of strangers on her as she scrambled to pick up her belongings. She remembered how it all happened. How she walked back gave her time to compose herself, but the sting of failure stayed.How she created a scene at the store. And also the consequences of it.She opened her door, threw her purse on the couch, and sank into an armchair, covering her face with her hands. She took a deep breath before speaking. As Gracia called her on the phone just to make sure she was alright."Hello, Gracia, “Yes, I've gotten home. But I'm not really okay. I feel so humiliated. I can't even believe that I followed Harvey to the store and tried to create a scene by bumping into him, it’s crazy. To even think that he saw right through it all. Harvey, who used to be close to me, now warned me not to follow him again or he'd call the cops. I feel
