Chapter 42“What if you tell grandpa? What's he going to do to me? Kick me out?” Badmus sneered. “You probably aren't dumb enough to think grandpa would kick me out when I’m doing him a favor.” “Grandpa knows about this?” Sasha asked with tears lacing her voice. “You’re lying uncle.” she cackled into tears, breaking down.“Stop nibbling over a spilled milk, Sasha. We already told you what to do if you want your mother saved.” he stopped talking, nodding his head slowly.“One, divorce him. Two, talk to the company to give us the contract back else your mother will never be taken care of.” Andre stepped forth, reaching for Sasha with his elongated hands which wrapped around her waist. “Your mother will be fine. Don't mind them.” Sasha lifted her head, with rage cackling through her face. “Fine? With what? You think your words will just get my mother healed or pay her medical bills?” “I thought your husband was a magician who could wake the dead. Why don't you tell him to heal your m

Chapter 44“No Sasha!” Andre placed his hands on her hands, trying to stop her from placing the gun in her pocket. “You can't do this.” Andre said in a low voice.Sasha tried to yank her hands from Andre’s grip, but her strength was unmatched. “Let me put an end to this. After killing them then I will kill myself.” Sasha said. “No. You can't stain your hands with blood, Sasha. Your mother should be your first priority. Let's make a call across to the hospital to confirm…”“Are you trying to defend them?” Sasha fumed as her gaze locked on Andre.Andre gave a dry chuckle. “No. No way. Why will I side with my wife’s tormentor?” Andre paused to catch jus breath. “My wife’s enemy is my enemy!” “Good.” Sasha muttered and Andre leaned closer to kiss her at that moment, grabbing the gun from her grip and putting it away.When Sasha broke from the kiss, she was breathless. Wgike she was trying to catch her breath, her phone rang.She picked up. “Sasha, it's past eight. Weren't you supposed

Chapter 46Sasha’s shoulders shook as she sobbed against Andre’s chest. Her words came out in fragments, heavy with exhaustion and anger.“I hate them… I hate my family,” she whispered. “They’re monsters, all of them.”Andre’s hand rested gently on her shoulder. “Calm down, Sasha,” he said softly. “Anger won’t bring your mother back.”She turned, her eyes wild and wet. “They’re monsters, Andre! Grandpa, Uncle Badmus, all of them. My mother’s missing, and they’re still talking about contracts!”Andre sighed, pulling her closer until her shaking body rested against his chest. “Listen to me. Go home. I’ll handle this.”“Handle?” she repeated bitterly. “How? You saw what they did. You saw how they treat you, like you’re nothing!”He didn’t flinch. “Exactly. They think I’m nothing. That’s my advantage.”Andre brushed his thumb along her cheek, wiping away the tears. “Go home, Sasha. Trust me.”She wanted to believe him. She really did. But the silence that followed only made her heartbeat

Chapter 48Andre povI rushed to the hospital to meet Sasha receiving treatment.Two men in a tailored suit were seated across her, one of them was scribbling in a book, and the other person mouth was moving.I trudged forth, walking over to their side. As soon as I got there, I sat besides Sasha and rested my hand on her hand.She flinched and looked at me with worry in her eyes and sighed.“So you were saying this must've been a murder attempt against your life?” The man In a grey tailored shirt, and curly hair to his forehead demanded with a hint of disbelief in his tone.Sasha’s squeezed around mine. Her lip quivered as she nodded her head.“And you're sure you didn't take any alcohol cause a branded whiskey bottle was found at the backseat and even a bottle of pills.My heart rang at the man’s words, and brows creased in shock.Sadha doesn't take alcohol so I’m amazed hearing the men in a tailored suit speak.I cleared my throat and their attention was fixed on me. “Sorry to int

“Mum, that is all in the past. I’m in love with her daughter now.”Andre held his mother’s hands firmly and locked his gaze with hers.“Her daughter is my wife,” he continued quietly. “And I can’t bear seeing her in pain.”For a moment, Lady Yvonne stared at him.“Mother… if Melissa Roland is with you—”Andre paused.The silence stretched between them, tension hanging heavily in the air. His jaw tightened as if the words themselves were difficult to say.Finally, he drew in a deep breath and forced them out.“Release her.”Lady Yvonne’s mouth slowly fell open.Shock flickered across her face before anger replaced it.She abruptly pulled her hands away from his grip and breathed heavily, as if something inside her had snapped.Her eyes lingered on him for a few seconds, searching his face as though she could not recognize the son standing before her.Then she turned her face to the other side.“I’m angry, son,” she said slowly.Her voice was low, but it carried a sharp edge.“And I don
