Tonia was still in the same position Asher had been when they walked past, but this time her eyes were swollen from the tears. She trembled from the betrayal of her husband, who had left her due to her condition.This was the same man she stood up for when he lost his job. The same man she fought her parents despite their warnings against getting married to.Tonia’s heart was filled with bitterness and pain. One that the three people before her couldn’t comprehend. “What do you want? Why are you staring at me? Are you here to mock me just like Oliver has done? Go ahead, speak your mind.”For the first time since they arrived, Isabella felt sad seeing Tonia in pain. It reminded her of her past, and she couldn’t help but step forward. “We aren’t here to laugh or say anything to mock you. We are concerned about you, and want to help you.”Tonia let out a bitter chuckle, “Help me, how?” She said in between soft sobbi

As they arrived at Angela's apartment, Isabella ambled forward with Asher behind her. Right before them sat a woman, her shoulders trembling, her hands clutching her knees. Her face was turned away, but the sorrow pouring out of her was raw, almost unbearable.The right side of her face was marred with deep, red burn scars, the kind that looked recent and painful. She tried to hide it with a scarf, but the tears had soaked the fabric, and it clung to her skin. Her eyes, wide and sorrowful, met with Asher's for a second before she looked away.“Please, don’t look at me,” she said, her voice cracking with grief. “Just go.”Asher and Isabella exchanged glances, and he then shrugged. But he felt something inside him as if she was calling for his help. Just then, a man with a stern expression walked out of the room, holding a bag. “I am tired of this marriage, I need to leave, I can't be with a woman with a burnt face as my wife. I need someone beautiful,”The man was Oliver, a deliver

Emily didn't utter a word as her mother and brother kept talking. She knew Edward was back for a reason, she had known him better than anyone in her family. Fear surged through her veins, as she kept thinking.“We should sue him for fraud, that way we can get back our money and send him to jail to rot for life.” Mrs. Deborah said.“It's enough,” she finally said. She knew her mother would do that, but still she knew her family was no match for Edward’s family. “We aren't reporting anyone, I will handle this.” She hurriedly replied before walking in her room. ****Asher had spent the last few days with Isabella and his son, not because they were married, but because he needed to stay closer to his son. Isabella was his first love, but things didn't go as planned after she left and ran away. Aside from having his child, Asher was saving her life from the unknown battle she was in, and he was also trying to find out who killed his parents.He suspected Isabella was hiding something f

Edward had covered the expenses for repairing the damaged Yacht. He knew if he had refused, Robertson would have done something bad to him. The cost for the repair was much but not something he couldn’t handle. Earlier that morning, he drove towards Emily’s apartment. He had missed her and would like to see her. He was still putting his plans in place, knowing she might not want to see him not after what he did. Edward had his car parked a few blocks away from Emily’s apartment. He had been there for almost an hour, watching everyone move around. His fist clenched on the steering wheel when he spotted Emily holding hands with Henry Marcus. His face darkened.From there, he could see them clearly and, without being told, he could sense that they were up to something. His phone buzzed, distracting him. He glared at his phone screen before answering the call.“What is it? Have you gotten the job done?” He asked furiously while maintaining eye contact on the scene before him.“No, bos

Olivia looked extremely worried after the news; she couldn’t shake the unease feeling that had troubled her since finding out.Still, she couldn’t tell how Asher hid such an incident away from people, and she couldn’t fathom how he had survived the incident. She gripped her phone tightly as she stared at his number, thinking whether she should call him.Her mind raced with several thoughts, as she stared at his number unsure of the next step to make. The office door creaked open, revealing Mia, who was dressed in a fitted green gown that revealed her curves. She majestically walked into the office. She furrowed her brow, glanced at Olivia. Mia was confused and had to tap Olivia twice, bringing her back to earth.Olivia was startled as she took a deep breath before averting her gaze towards Mia. “Where did you get in?” Mia shook her head, without being told, she could tell Olivia had a lot going through her mind. “I just walked in not long ago.” She replied. “Are you okay? You look

Edward may have thought he was in control when he took the lead, but Asher wasn’t just in the race, he was becoming one with it.Asher was calculating his movements, knowing the wave would soon hit them. The guests cheered in excitement as they watched Edward taking the lead while they shook their heads giving a thumbs down as they watched Asher behind.They whistle at him, showing a sign of disappointment.As they got to the midpoint when he noticed Edward was struggling. Asher took the moment, and he accelerated. His yacht surged forward with Speed, leaving those who witnessed it stunned and in disbelief.“How did he do that?”Asher was now ahead of Edward. Driving at great speed.Edward gritted his teeth, and his expression shifted. He knew he couldn’t allow Asher to win him. He hit the accelerator pushing it more than it limits, his face contorted with determination.Despite how fast he pushed forward, he seemed to be unable to get past Asher. He became frustrated, and another th

Jack knew Claire would react to his statement, he had known her to be annoying. “You heard me, Anna is going to participate in the contest and she will be the winner,” he said confidently.Anna’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected Jack to announce it so boldly. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, wishing she could disappear. This wasn’t how she’d planned it, she wanted to stay under the radar until the contest day.Claire scoffed and crossed her arms. “Please spare me that. What makes you think she can win? She can’t even afford the registration fee, let alone win the contest.”The students let out a mocking laughter, as they all averted their gazes at Anna. Whispers and a few quiet chuckles followed her taunt.But before Anna could respond, Barbara stood up from her seat, chin lifted defiantly.“She doesn’t need to,” Barbara said coolly. “Jack already paid for it.”A hush fell over th

“No, I am interested.”Jack and Raphael burst into laughter as they looked at each other. She responded, which was funny. They knew Barbara to be the shy type, and it would be difficult to convince her. They turned their gazes towards Anna. She exhaled deeply, “I wish I could, but it’s expensive, the entry fee is $10,000.”There was a moment of silence as they all stared at each other, then Jack came up with an idea, he knew he could afford the entry fee, but he wouldn’t want his friends to know about it.“I can help you with the registration fee, I have some money saved up. And my boss also tipped me recently after the errands I did for him.”“Your boss must be a good man.”“Yeah, he is,” Jack replied.Anna shook her head, “No, I can’t accept that. Don’t you have other expenses? You can use the money.”“Anna, we are friends, and we want you to participate in the contest because we believe you will win. See the money as my way of investing in your beauty.”Anna’s face turned red as s

Jack and Anna stayed in class that afternoon. She had been waiting for the class to end to thank her friend for saving her father. At that moment, when the class ended, she immediately left her seat and embraced her friend in a warm hug, leaving everyone around stunned by her gesture. Murmurings and whispers filled the air as they wondered why Anna would hug Jack that way.Unbothered by the scene, she disengaged as she spoke with her voice mixed with gratitude and excitement. “Jack, I want to thank you for what you did. My father is out and has been called to the office. He was given a new position as the head of the warehouse.”She continued, “We also got compensated instead of my family paying the five million dollars we received five million from Christopher.” Jack smiled, and also looked surprised like he was unaware. “Wow, that’s fantastic! I am happy for your family.” He said with his voice barely above a whisper. “I did what a friend would do for another friend, if there is a

For a moment, no one moved.Then, without warning, Jack stepped forward. His eyes, usually calm and composed, now burned with fury. He raised his hand and struck Christopher across the face with such force that the older man fell sideways to the floor, his hand still outstretched in supplication.The slap echoed through the room like a gunshot. Christopher groaned and rolled slightly, holding his cheek, stunned.Kelvin’s eyes widened in surprise. He had seen Jack angry before, but never like this. This wasn’t just about justice, it was personal. For his friend. A twisted smirk tugged at the corner of Kelvin’s mouth. He didn’t expect Jack to lay hands on Christopher, but deep down, he was pleased. Christopher deserved every bit of pain he felt.Jack towered over the fallen man, his voice low and cutting. “You want forgiveness?” he spat. “You shot an innocent woman. You frame others. You blackmail, lie, destroy fam

Jack made Victor watch the video, before asking his question.Victor, who felt betrayed after hearing what Christopher said earlier, hesitated for a moment before he spoke out. “I was the man in the video.” He said, “It’s true, Christopher and I have been involved in some shady businesses using the company’s name and also the trucks to move drugs to our clients.”“He convinced me to do it, and even promised to triple my salary if I joined him. I had no choice. I was desperate for money, so I agreed to do everything. But Jackson was against us, he refused to be part of us, not just him but about three other staff members have been laid off because they have refused to join us,”He swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on Christopher as he continued. “We were also responsible for the death of Mrs. Grace and Julius. They were planning on exposing us, to avoid it, so I killed Julius. While Christopher killed Grace,”Christopher felt a lump in his throat, his lips parted open, but no words came

After listening to what Mark had said, Kelvin was furious but he still tried to suppress his anger. Everything will get exposed soon.He walked back to join Jack as the tension still lingered in the air. The anger in Jack’s face was evident. Kelvin leaned closer and whispered into his ear.Christopher watched them both with a mixed expression unsure of what their next actions could be.Jack sniffed, then turned to face Christopher. “We have strong evidence against you that you are not only siphoning the company’s money but also using the company trucks for your illegal dealings.”“What? That’s impossible. Whoever is telling you this is trying to frame me, and I will sue him for slander.” Christopher spat.His heart began racing, as many thoughts ran through his mind.“Are you sure you aren’t into it?” “Never, I will never do such. Not when I know who I am working under. I have always been responsible and have never thought about such. Not even in this lifetime, I have worked here for

Ryan watched as they wheeled her out, his heart was heavy with worries. He rushed and followed the paramedics team, with his mother. He knew he needed to be by her side to make sure she was alright, she just saved his life. Ryan couldn’t shake the unease feeling that was building within him, “Hold on, Elizabeth. We will get through this.” Ryan said in his mind.The paramedic’s team rushed towards their van and drove immediately to the hospital. Ryan took the key from Nicolas and rushed behind the ambulance. His heart was racing fast, he blew the horn repeatedly when they got to the highway trying to find a path for him to drive.When they got to the hospital, the paramedics team sprang into action, and Elizabeth was wheeled into the hospital. And was taken in for treatment.Ryan raced inside like someone who had been chased, he was breathing fast. He asked several nurses and he was told that she was undergoing an operation.He sat on the chair facing downward, with tears welling up

“I heard everything you said. Grey. It was you who killed Brown at the hospital. I never thought you would be this evil until today.” Victoria said with a voice mixed with anger and pain.The policemen and the guards rushed inside the building, they stopped when they noticed the scenes that were happening before them.“Drop your weapons, you are surrounded by the police.” The Chief police officer said.Grey’s heart sank into his stomach, he knew there was no way out of him. He turned to face Ryan who gave him a small smile by the side of his lips.“You called the police, Ryan. How dare you.” Grey said.Ryan shrugged, “My mum wasn’t the only person you kidnapped, Elizabeth Brian is here.” He said soft but firm tone.The police team moved closer to where Mrs. Rebecca and Elizabeth were tied and helped untie them, setting them free, and moving them towards the back.“Drop your weapons,” The chief of police screamed again.“I can’t drop my weapon, I can surrender to you,” Grey said, his

His mother’s heart was pounding fast in fear, and Her eyes widened in horror. Seeing Six hefty men against her son Ryan.Tears were streaming down her cheeks and her body was trembling. Ryan placed the document on a rust table, beside him.Ryan knew he could take them if he stayed focused, he watched their movements, and his senses were on high alert. He watched as they moved towards a direction coming out with different weapons to fight against him.Grey stood behind, an evil smirk formed immediately by the edge of his lips. “Don’t kill him, we still need him alive to sign the document,” Greg instructed.The men nodded their heads intermittently while moving towards Ryan with a stern and mocking face.“You had picked the run person, Grey. You guys can walk away now you have the chance, I wouldn’t hurt you. I will give you some minutes to think about it.” Ryan said with a calm but firm tone.The men exchanged glances and laughed, “Let’s deal with him.” The scarred man said.Ryan st

“But I never believed you would have some people who are still loyal to you. They did a nice job of setting off the fire on time.” He said making a mockery of it.Ryan glared at him, “What is your gain in all this and what do you want?” He asked with his voice dripping in fury.“I had no idea you were this smart,” he said. “I want everything you owe, Everything your grandfather gave to you including the company.” He said.Ryan giggled with the right side of his lips, he wasn’t surprised by what he said. He knew something was odd about Grey from the beginning.“How do you think it’s going to be possible? There are people before you who have tried to take things off my hands and they failed. And one of them is your father,” he said confidently.Grey got pissed by his statement, giving him a deadly glare. With his jaw clenched. Ryan was using this as a delay tactic for the police and his men to take position. Meanwhile, Nicolas and Sebastian have positioned themselves with snipers at d

They moved slowly till they got to an open space, Ryan glanced around the room and he could see his mother being tied to a chair, her eyes could tell her story that she had pain and fear while her heart was enthralled with indescribable sorrow.It got to Ryan’s notice that she wasn’t the only one, he narrowed his gaze to the left and found Elizabeth Brian also tied at the other end.“What is she doing here and how come she was kidnapped alongside my mother.” He mumbles inwardly. Ryan was in a perplexed state but maintained his composure for the task ahead.His eyes flickered in rage while transferring the anger to his hand grip on the bag. He counted the men he saw starting from the entrance, they were a total of six men.“Where is your boss, tell him, I have what he requested and he should set them free,” Ryan said, his voice deep and showing no atom of fear.One of the gang members who seemed to be the leader, he had a scarred face, spoke with authorities.“Not so fast, we need to c

Ryan and Freddie got to the entrance of his mansion, where Ryan met his driver, Jerry. “Get in, we are heading out,” he commanded.Jerry felt something was off, he knew his master wouldn’t have sounded like that. But he believes whatever it is his master will always conquer it no matter what.Ryan felt his phone vibrate, he shoved it out placing it on a loudspeaker.“Master, Ryan. It’s Sebastian. I have news that you should know.” Sebastian said.Ryan already knew what he wanted to say, but allowed him to make the statement.“What is it?” Ryan said with a plain tone.“Master, Your mother has been kidnapped. The two guards she went out with were shot and have been taken to the hospital, we have informed the police about it. And they have sent a rescue team to search for her.” Sebastian said.“Master, I believe it was Joseph who sent those men to kidnap your mother,” he added.Ryan inhales.“I know about it, the kidnappers have contacted me.”“What did they say, did they request for any
