Chapter 13“From this day onwards, you will be known as Jackson Magnus,” Those were the parting words Eden left him with yesterday. He had spent his entire life as Julian Williams with a lot of suffering attached, accepting the Magnus name wouldn’t erase the suffering but it would give him the chance to build a better future and seek his revenge. “Jackson Magnus,” he tested the name and it rolled smoothly off his tongue. A new life had begun. ********************************* The next day, Jackson was in the kitchen, clad in a long robe and was making a cup of coffee for himself. He was just pouring the hot water into the cup when Kian walked into the kitchen. “Good morning, sir” Kian greeted with his head bowed. Jackson picked up his cup of coffee and turned to look at Kian, “good morning” he greeted as he sat on the tall stools surrounding the island. “Where are all the workers? Why are you making this yourself?” Kian questioned, he looked round and there was no house worke

Chapter 12 Julian studied the picture, mentally trying to figure out who the last person was but the photograph was not clear enough. He couldn’t think of a name but he was quite sure the face was familiar. “Do you have a clearer version of this photograph?” He asked Eden, just to be sure. Eden shook his head, “that picture is the only one there is, no duplicate” Julian nodded. “Where was this picture taken?” Julian asked, he wanted to have all reasons to doubt Eden’s claims. But, so far, Eden had given him two reasons to believe his claims. “It was taken on a private family property,” Eden revealed to Julian. “A private family property?” He asked again, his fingers tracing the edge of the photograph. Eden nodded. “Who owns the private family property?” Julian questioned. “The ownership has been long changed. It is owned by a completely different person now” Eden said, slightly avoiding answering the question directly. “Was this picture taken before or after the incident in

Chapter 11Eden walked to a couch in the corner of the room and took his seat on it, then he gestured at Julian, signaling him to come sit down beside him. Julian immediately understood the gesture and took a seat beside him. Eden clears his throat before speaking , “Are you truly willing to accept the Magnus name?” He asked, his voice still coming out hoarse despite his earlier actions. Julian appeared surprised, why was Eden questioning him like he had a choice. He was literally forced to be here. A part of him was tempted to say ‘no’, but he held back against it. “I only agreed partly because it was Auntie Lore’s dying wish and because I am choosing to view this as an opportunity to get the life I aspire” Julian responded to him with a straight face. Eden nodded , he respected his honesty and braveness. “Being a Magnus is not only about getting the life you deserve. Yes, you would get the life you deserve but you should also know that it all comes at a cost,” Eden said, a subt

Chapter Ten: allergy “Yes I agree. I will make sure everyone who belittled me and spat on me would have the worse fate ever. Because, I, Jackson Magnus is back for revenge!” He said with utmost seriousness, his knuckles forming a hard fist. He gritted his teeth in rage recalling how those two were so engrossed in pleasuring themselves. ‘I will start with Kyra. I will show you that you are not worthy to even tie my shoelace and then Denzel , the punches you gave me, I promise to return them to you in ten folds’He said in his mind and relaxed his back on the soft chair. He hummed his favorite lullaby and took a short nap while the car drove. They arrived at the destination and the door was opened by Kian. Julian climbed down from the car and in a span of a second, the entrance was crowded with maids, guards and butlers, lining up having their head bowed down. They genuflected and said in unison. “Welcome back Young Lord!” As soon as they said, the pathway was cleared and Julian’s l

Chapter Nine: The start of new journey “Auntie, you have too…Wait, don’t close your eyes. You can’t…” Julian shook her begging for her eyes to remain open and tell him all she knew about him. Unfortunately, she did not open her eyes and it was shut forever. ~Beeeppp~ The monitor rang alerting Eden, Smith and his medical team. They rushed into the room and found Julian crying his heart out. He clenched onto her arms begging her to wake up and be alive. Smith dragged Julian away from her and handed him over to the old man. Smith confirmed her death and bowed his head in silence. He raised the blanket and covered her entire body, stepped away from the bed after detaching the monitor and tubes from her body and allowed for her dead body to be rolled out of the room. “12 am in the morning, Miss Lore Harrison passed away from heart stroke. My her humble soul rest in peace” ******************** In the hallway, downstairs. “You have been sulking since two hours. Are you not goi

Chapter Eight: Passed away. “What?!” Julian said, his brows furrowed in incomprehension. A few while ago, he had blamed the old man and even dared to beat him till he bled from the right side of his mouth. Now that Smith testified to it and bowed his head as a sign of gratitude to the old man, guilt pricked him. He stared at the smirking old man and followed the doctors to the private, VIP room. “I suppose he also paid for this too?” Julian hovered around Smith’s shoulders and asked. He was regretting everything he had done to this old man. He only wanted his grandson back to him and nothing more. He didn’t plan on harming him either. Could it be they were also the good guys too? Julian in guilt walked inside the room. He brought out a chair for Eden as a sign of gratitude. Five minutes passed and the doctors concluded the medical checkup on Miss Harrison and left, allowing the two of them to be alone. Julian glanced at Eden and he did the same back to Julian. They made eye contac

Chapter 186 “I’m coming to your city” Those few words were enough to let Miranda know that it was game time. And this time, she was more than ready to have revenge. And she made up her mind to not back out no matter what. They were not able to properly plan the execution of their plans the last time due to how Miranda left. Miranda had booked a venue at the outskirts of the city where she could meet with Lucas without any disturbances or distractions. ********************************** “Your cousin has been able to settle the debt she was owing the luxe company” Sebastien announced to Isabelle as he walked into the bedroom. Isabelle turned to him, the surprise evident on her face, “so soon?” She asked, she didn’t expect Miranda to be able to settle the bill this quickly, “my grandfather probably had a hand in this. I’m sure he gave her the money” Isabelle said, jumping to conclusion. “Well, that is not impossible,” Sebastien said, agreeing with his wife. Isabelle

Chapter 185‘I can’t believe his audacity. This situation has made people look down on me. Tony shouldn’t dare speak to me this way” Miranda thought to herself as she paced the length of her room. She felt sad that master Wilson was not even willing to help her. She thought the control she had over him was really strong. It was quite unfortunate that he managed to stand his ground even after her persistence, given that she went to meet him again after asking initially. Miranda picked up her phone and did something she would have never imagined herself doing anymore, she dialed Roland’s number. Roland and Miranda ended their relationship in an awful way. She promised herself that she wasn’t going to request for his help anymore, no matter how bad things might get. But, look at where she found herself. “Hello…” she said immediately Roland picked up the call. “Who is this?” His deep baritone voice filled the room. Miranda closed her eyes, reminiscing past moments for a few seconds

Chapter 184“You have brought great shame to the family!” Master Wilson complained as soon as he and Miranda walked into the Wilson’s family mansion. “I’m so sorry, grandfather” Miranda apologized, she was no longer crying at this point but her eyes were swollen. Her attempts at shedding tears for pity failed woefully. The manager of the luxe restaurant and hotel did not spare her one bit. The hatred she felt towards Sebastien and Isabelle doubled as she replayed the entire experience over and over again in her head. “So, how do you want to go about everything now?” Master Wilson asked, settling into the couch in the sitting room, “I don’t understand, what do you mean by that?” Miranda questioned him. “How do you plan on getting the money needed to settle them and also the formal apology to Horizon media” master Wilson explained what he meant Miranda collapsed into the chair opposite master Wilson, “I don’t know how to go about the money, grandfather” she mumbled, her head lower

Chapter 183 The next day, “I’m scared,” Isabelle confessed to Sebastien who was pulling on his clothes. “Why is that?” He asked “Miranda.” Isabelle said with a sigh. “Miranda? What has she done again?” “Nothing. For now. I am worried about what she’s going to do, the next trick she’s going to pull off because she’s good at stuff like that” Isabelle confessed. “Our evidence is so solid. There is no way she’s escaping this” Sebastien said in a bid to assure Isabelle. Isabelle nodded, “yes, that is very true. Our evidence is solid” she agreed with her husband. “So, we can not be disgraced by her. Instead she will be put to shame” Miranda said, trying to assure herself. Sebastien nodded, “exactly. I’m quite confident that will be the case” he adjusted his tie and patted his collar down before turning to look at Isabelle, “ready?” He asked Isabelle nodded, “more than ever” ******************************* The room was filled with dignitaries of the company

Chapter 182For a lot of reasons, Isabelle felt lighter after that conversation with Violet. She felt more in control of herself and made a vow to herself to not disappoint the people that believe in her.‘You got this’ she mumbled to herself before locking the office door. The sound of her heels echoed in the hallway. Isabelle made her way into the boardroom where the staff were already awaiting her presence. As soon as they sighted her, they rose to their feet as a sign of respect and they remained that way till Isabelle took her seat at the head of the table. There was complete silence afterwards. “Good morning, everyone. It’s great to see you all and thank you all for joining today’s meeting” Isabelle started on a really polite note before proceeding with her speech, “To begin with…” the meeting lasted for an hour. Isabelle felt a bit of satisfaction after the meeting. She had handled the meeting well and the workers accorded her with respect. ********************“And with

Chapter 181The weekend was finally over and Isabelle resumed her duties as the managing director of the Wilson’s family company. At first, she felt ashamed and discouraged because of what happened at the after party and she wanted to use it as a reason to not resume official duties that day. But after a few words of encouragement from Sebastien, she was able to get over that feeling and she retained that same energy while walking through the doors of the Wilson’s family company. She was the managing director and so many people would love to be in her current position. That was the mantra Isabelle kept on replaying in her head. She made her way to the elevator, and as the doors slid open, she found herself face-to-face with Miranda.“Hi cousin,” Miranda greeted with a smile that didn’t meet the eyes. Isabelle nodded, “Hello, Miranda” as the elevator doors slid shut. “Are you aware of Grandfather’s health condition?” Miranda asked a very obvious question. “I know he is recovering
