James Ferguson was not a man who begged. In all his years of building the Ferguson empire, he had never once asked for help in the manner he was doing today.Because for a businessman like him, it had always been a game of give and take, finding what the other party wanted, giving it to them, and then asking for a favor.But sitting in Lord Zane's living room right now, with the weight of everything pressing down on him all at once, he understood that this was not a moment for pride.This was a moment for survival, because everything was on the line, and unless he survived this time, he would not have the chance to take his revenge on Theresa Blackwell again."Lord Zane." He leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped in front of him. "I am not going to waste your time with more excuses about what I did, please I just need your help, help me"He continued to repeat the same word he had said before, while Lord Zane said nothing, his eyes blankly staring at the man

After Theresa's request regarding a baby, Daniel had been so stunned, that was something he had not expected and didn't know how to reply to, and because of that, he had not given her a response.Yet, Theresa did not press him for an answer, hoping that once he was ready he would say something, because for her, she had truly fallen in love with him and was hoping that the marriage would be turned into a real one."Good morning!" Theresa had greeted as soon as she came downstairs after their conversation that day, because he had not spent the night in the same room with her the way they had been doing lately.And Daniel was hoping that he would leave the house very quietly before she woke up, but Theresa was disturbed by the situation and couldn't sleep, which was why she had also woken up early."I recently acquired Hayes Corporation and would be going over for some meetings with the board""I know," she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper, and she had already started moving to

After work that day, Theresa was about to head back home, but just as she stepped out of the parking lot, she noticed a figure standing there, as clearly he had been waiting for her."Ms. Blackwell," he called in a very soft tone, one that seemed capable of sweeping any lady off her feet.Theresa finally looked up as she realized that it was Mr. Viktor, the same man who wanted to invest in her company."What are you doing here?" She asked with a flicker of surprise."Isn't that obvious, I have been waiting for you, please don't tell me you totally forgot about the dinner we were supposed to have today?""Oh that, but I don't think I agreed""Please don't do that now, I already booked a reservation, and as much as money isn't a problem, it cost me quite a lot"He continued to speak in his very soft tone while he collected her bag and started heading towards his car.Theresa stood there like she was lost in her thoughts while staring at him, knowing fully well that she had not informed

Lisa sat in her cell, thinking about her life and how she was going to leave this place.She had not set her eyes on her husband and wasn't even sure if he was truly here at all.But yet, she believed that there was no way someone wouldn't come looking for her. She had a daughter and a son, so definitely someone had to come looking.Just then, a lady who seemed to be in the same cell with her walked past her. Lisa had tried to ignore all three ladies since she came in.But the lady stepped right on her arm, pressing so hard that Lisa coiled in pain. As soon as the lady pulled away from her, she wasted no time and rose to her feet."Have you lost your mind!" she yelled at the top of her voice, thinking that this was probably the time to take out the anger on someone else."Did you just speak to me?" The lady who was popularly known as Mia around there asked while staring at the others.The other two ladies sat upright immediately, as if they were ready to watch a particular kind of dra

After the dinner with Viktor, he had offered to drive her back home, and on the way back home, Theresa had her head in a lot of places, thinking about so many things at a time.With everything Viktor had told her, now she was truly starting to wonder if indeed Daniel truly cared about her like she thought.Although he had helped her with the situation with her company, yet he had kept everything about himself a secret, to the extent where she had to hire a private investigator to find out about her husband.And not to mention the fact that even with all the money he has, he has no plans of helping her company, and would prefer to see her suffer instead.No matter how badly she wanted to take the thoughts away from her head, yet they kept sinking back again and again."So this is the famous Blackwell estate?" Viktor muttered as soon as the car came to a halt in front of her gate, and his words were the only thing that made her realize she was now at home, so lost in her thoughts had sh

Growing up, Daniel had watched his parents on countless occasions arguing about things that did not make sense.And even when he had agreed to marry Theresa when there was no love involved, he had told himself that he would never argue with her, he would try as much as possible to avoid it.But right now, staring at her with the intense fury in her eyes, it was difficult for him not to admit to the fact that there was no way that he would avoid this argument tonight."Tell me, Daniel," Theresa had continued, the color had drained from her face, it seemed almost like this was an anger she had been holding in for a very long time."Is it because you were forced into this marriage, is that why you keep everything a secret from me, tell me, do you plan on divorcing me soon, or perhaps you already have another woman?"She asked, and even with the fury inside of him, he could not help but let out a sigh and chuckle."You are the one that went on a date with another man and came back home la

The night was the best night both Daniel and Theresa had ever had, it was so wild and intense that Theresa could not believe that a skinny man like him could make her entire world go wild like this.She did not want to get up from bed the next day, because her entire body still felt so relaxed after what happened last night."Good morning," he muttered in a husky voice around her while placing kisses around her lips, neck, and cheekbone.Theresa could not take the sensation that she was getting and burst into laughter. Yet it did not stop him as he continued to place kisses around every part of her body that he could come across.And for the first time, Theresa felt so much excited more than she had ever been before, because to her, this was exactly what her marriage should have felt like all this while."How is your day going today?" She asked after a while, her head now resting on his chest."I will be going for an auction today""An auction, I didn't know that you were interested
168
The venue for the auction was nothing like Daniel had expected. It was a private hall on the outskirts of Coast City.As the car pulled up, Daniel could see rows of expensive cars already parked outside, each one more polished than the last. Men in tailored suits and women dripping in jewelry walked towards the entrance, their faces carrying that same look of quiet arrogance that only came with old money."This is bigger than I expected," Daniel muttered as he stepped out of the car, adjusting his jacket. “Yes, it took me quite a lot to get a ticket but because I have huge connections around these men who always want someone handling their dirty jokes bs for them. I was able to get it”As his spoke, he was beaming with pride at the fact that his boss must see him as very capable.But Daniel didn't say any word as he headed towards the ticket stand, Viper tagging right behind him. two security men stood, scanning invitations before letting anyone through. He handed him over and afte
