When Sophia first arrived in the hall, everyone had come to the conclusion that she was there to cause trouble, given what had happened the last time she was buzzing on the internet, but to their surprise, she had gone on her knees.

“What are you doing?” Zara asked, looking all surprised in embarrassment. “You can't go on your knees for me, please get up!”

“I can't get up, I have to apologize to you. Because I had offended you in front of everyone, so it is only proper that I go ahead and apologize before everyone!”

“What are you talking about Sophia? "You haven't done anything wrong to me”, Zara plastered a smile on her face. As much as Sophia was trying to become the victim here, she was fighting so hard to be as kind as she could.

Zara rose to her feet, a warm smile on her face while she walked over to where Sophia was kneeling down.

    Ethan stood on his balcony, his dark gaze fixed outside the window. He had just received a call about Steele trying to meet with him and, although he was fully aware of the fact that they had no idea of his identity, yet Ethan felt his heart become heavy, recalling all the abuse he went through in their hands.His gaze was fixed outside where he could see the pool, his hands twisted around the glass of wine he held that he sipped from time to time and just then, Zara walked in.“Ethan!” She clasped both her hands together, her gaze buried to the ground as she called out underneath her breath.“How did it go with the new endorsement?” Ethan asked, and even while he did, he did not bother to turn around or take a glimpse of her.“It didn't work out again. They said they were going to get back to me. But that is not why I am here.”“Go ahead, why are you here?” he asked, even though he did not turn around to look at her, Zara could feel the rage in his voice.Despite how close she was to

Without hesitation, Ethan rushed outside. There was a girl on the floor bleeding. It turned out the car right in front of her had just hit her.As a figure stepped out of the car from the passenger's seat, Ethan stood there with his gaze fixed on the scenario and, realizing that it was Max Steele, he grew more curious.Seeing the figure before her, the young girl in her early twenties immediately rose to her feet despite how badly she was bleeding in her leg.“I apologize Sir, I guess that I was not clearly looking at where I was going.” She bowed her head in respect and everyone thought that was the moment where he finally got to attend to her feet.But as he drew closer to her, he

I can't thank you enough for this. I am sincerely grateful.”“It's nothing, that is what is expected of any human with even just the smallest conscience!”He exclaimed and as he sat next to her, he finally asked the question that he had failed to ask all this while.“What is your name?”“It's Sasha!” “And why were you at the construction site?” he asked, and she lowered her head as if ashamed to look him in the eyes.“I was there to search for a job. "What about you, do you work there?” She asked and Ethan could fully recall why he was there. He had abandoned his plan the moment he saw her in that situation, and knowing fully well that there was n

    Max had just arrived back home, and as soon as he stepped into the living room, Henry, who had been pacing impatiently for a while, slammed the iPad at him.He was fast enough to have caught hold of it before either reached the ground, yet he had no idea what was going on or why his father would look so furious given that he was back with good news.“You careless son of mine!” he yelled, even his chest was rising and falling rapidly.“Dad, why do you look so worked up, did something happen?”“Are you dumb, or are you trying to pretend like you have no idea what you did? You should know better than anyone that, right now we are walking on eggshells and trying to scurry favors with big companies, yet you pull such a stunt.”“Stunt? Dad, you need to calm down and talk to me, because I still do not have a single clue what you are talking about.”“You have the damn iPad in your hands, so how about you take a look!” Henry, whose eyes had turned red, insisted.

She just started acting up, her temperature was spiking. I kept on calling out to her, but she wouldn't respond. I was so scared!” Her voice broke out as she spoke. Ethan did not say anything else rather than console her.“You need to calm down and be strong for her. I am sure that you don't want her to see you in such a state because that would only make her more sad.”He carefully wiped off the strain of tears in her eyes. Zara nodded her head and just then, the doctor stepped out of the room.“Doctor, how is she?” They both asked in unison as they both rushed over to his side, their eyes filled with curiosity as it kept trailing around the doctor.The doctor stared at both of them before giving out a long sigh. “She is out of the woods

He claims that they have encountered such a situation and, even though she is not yet fully healed, she has been properly taken care of and, in the trial stage, if it works, then we can also take Mom there.“This trial stage that you speak of, how long is it going to take, because, from the look of things, Mom doesn't have that much time?”Zara let out an exasperated sigh, even though Ethan was fully aware of that, yet he was going to give it all of his best.“I don't know, but I am going to keep trying every drug and, after the test, just to keep Mom going, even if she is not ready to continue fighting, I will fight for her sake!”His eyes darkened as he said the words and were clouded with determination.

    Ethan stood at a corner of the building that had just collapsed watching the scene unfold before him. At first, there was no sign of Henry or Max. Liam, who was standing next to him, whispered in his ear.“I don't think that Mr. Henry is going to show up knowing fully well that he might end up getting arrested if he does.”Liam suggested, but Ethan shook his head. “I don't think he will run away, he is trying to prove himself to Mr. Edward with the hope that he will get introduced to me. He wouldn't want to savage the entire situation.”Ethan explained to Liam how he had pictured this entire situation to go, but Liam thought that no one would be stupid enough to show up, knowing that he would get arrested and humiliated, but just while they were having this conversation, Henry and his son arrived.“Wow!
