Alice picks up her bag and walks out of the toy store with a murderous intent in her mind. She had kissed Lance goodbye but she was too shaken to have sex. The Hale family had played on her intelligence so much that it hurts her.The thought of what Lance just translated to her formed in her mind. She had wondered what Peter was playing at. He wanted to use her daughter, it was clear enough now. He had used her well enough to kill his boredom now, her daughter was his target. If he was trying to eliminate Selena, wouldn’t it have been better to get his son’s hand dirty.Thinking about Spence, Alice balled her fist in anger.Alice let out a deep breath and picked up her phone. She scrolled through her contact list wondering what she saved the contact information with. She had inputted Spence’s old contact that she had saved with “useless son-in-law” no longer goes through. Of course he wasn’t her son in law anymore and most importantly he wasn’t even Spence Wellington anymore.She adj

Mr Snape was shaken as pandemonium erupted in the conference hall. His surprise at Peter’s healthy appearance distabilized him that he couldn’t defend himself. His eyes wandered aimlessly as he watched his supporters thinning out.Taking out Ryan Hale wasn’t initially part of the plan but he had to improvise along the way. He had miscalculated his moves assuming Peter’s pitiful bedridden state would hinder his ability to defend his son.“Say something Mr Snape, the world is watching.” Someone said from the crowd in a distressed tone.“It is not true.” He said in a low voice.Peter walked toward him. He dragged his legs slowly still pretending to be gradually healing. Mr Snape backed towards the closest wall in a bid to hide from Peter’s wrath. The other man stood up to him, his piercing gaze bore into his, nailing him on the spot.He moved closer to his ear and whispered “By the time you get home swine, you will be reduced to nothing, your investments, offshore accounts, shares….puff

It was time! Spence knew he couldn’t delay it any further.He removed the cast that he had carried on longer than necessary and stepped into his closet. Sets of designer suits graced his vision. He picked up the blue one at the far end of the rack which he had fitted on last before his attempted murder attack.He picked up a deep blue tie to match on the clothes. Spence returned to the front of the mirror as he kept on humming his favorite song while he undressed. As his casual tee shirt fell off his body, a swollen scar stood evident by his left side. He took another look at the ugly sight and nodded his head in annoyance.He had always spent a lot of time in grooming his appearance even as far back as when he had no money but right now that he could afford everything he wanted, he wouldn’t leave that scar on for much longer. The door to the bedroom opened suddenly and Selena walked in, her eyes trailing down his naked upper torso.“The door was made there to be knocked.” Spence sai

Alice smiled warmly at her reflection. The red lip she had on suits her aged skin all too well. She smiled inwardly at the thought of proudly walking up to Maya and boasting of how impactful her contribution was to getting her out of prison. She knew that wasn’t going to happen if she didn’t do her assignment accurately. She made for her car and drove out of the house. Her first instinct was to drive to the Hale mansion and pay Peter a visit but she had a rethink. She hadn’t equipped herself well enough to fight that freaking user. She got to her destination and parked her car. Her eyes scanned the giant building facing her. The mightiness of Zillow Jade filled her heart with envy. If only she had waited just a little, it could have belonged to her daughter Maya. They could have both bought Spence’s fragile heart and ruled above him but it was too late now, There was no use crying over spilled milk. The security team at the front door scanned her belongings and she was let into the

“Clara deserved her death.”Spence couldn’t wait to hear the rest as he splintered across the grounds. He hastily got into his car and zoomed off the premises not minding if his father had heard the loud screeching noise from his car tyre.He couldn’t process the information he just overheard rather an echo of it kept replaying in his head. He remembered all too well the first day he was given a tour of the Hale mansion. He had seen a large portrait of his mother hung in the hallway leading to his father’s room, unknown to him that it was merely a souvenir.He drove his way to his least expected place, the only place that was really home to him. Right into Mrs Wellington’s arms where he had spent his childhood. He remembered how much he had warned him about the secrets of the rich. Now that he was entangled in the web of fate and ended up as one, he didn’t know if he could live with knowing the secrets that came with it.Spence’s car came to an abrupt stop in front of his adopted moth
