52- Absolutely not
"Let go of this instant!" Jolie shouted, prompting Walter to release her with a heavy sigh."Please, just try to calm down," Walter implored, attempting to diffuse the tension."Don't you dare tell me to calm down right now," Jolie hissed, her finger jabbing accusingly toward his face. "Honestly, I am furious! But we can discuss this later. Arguing here isn't going to solve anything."With that, she turned on her heel and stormed out of the room.Turning his attention to Martha, Walter gently placed his hands on her shoulders in a comforting gesture. "Are you alright?" he asked, genuine concern etched on his features."I suppose," Martha muttered, exhaling deeply. "What's gotten into her, though? Why can't she see the logic in what you're saying?""Pay her no mind," Walter dismissed with a scoff, "I believe she's simply jealous.""Well, I hope you can talk some sense into her," Martha said, her gaze momentarily drifting away to focus on the simmering food atop the stove. "She needs to
51- The bastards
Mr. Mirano let out a chuckle after savoring a spoonful of Martha's soup, the flavors dancing on his palate. "So, how is it?" Martha inquired, a bright smile stretching across her thin lips."It's absolutely delightful, as always," he replied, taking another spoonful. "Martha, I swear, your cooking never ceases to amaze me!"Martha's gaze shifted towards Terrace, offering him a taste of the soup as well. His face lit up with delight, and soon he was asking for more. Meanwhile, a sense of satisfaction washed over Martha; she was thrilled to have pleased them with her culinary skills and secretly hoped for the opportunity to showcase her talents further. Just then, Mrs. Mirano made her entrance.A broad smile spread across Mr. Mirano's face at the sight of his wife, though her stern expression suggested she was in no mood for lighthearted banter or playfulness. Her scowl was accentuated by her tightly clenched fists, as if she were ready to unleash a barrage of heavy punches upon him."I
50- Back again
Later that night, as Jolie, Mrs Mirano locked herself away in the room, thinking of her husband's past behavior on infidelity, she sobbed bitterly, but the sound of car leaving the estate caught her attention, she rushed to the window to see what was happening.“Where is he going?” She asked herself, feeling a nuance of anger. “How can he leave me in this situation?” She thought, then it dawned on her.“What if Shane-Leo had found out?” She covered her, with widened eyes and rushed to her bag to take out her phone.She immediately called her son, but it went straight to voicemail, “Pick it, pick it, pick it.” She chanted, pacing the room.Shane-Leo, on the other hand, was already battling with guilt with the way he shouted at his mother hours ago, “I shouldn't have done that.” He sighed as his phone vibrated on his desk.“Mum?” He said meek
49- Grave mistake
Mr Mirano paced the room, fuming as his wife stood heartbroken in one side, she was short on what her next course of action should be.He sighed. “I am telling you, the power is getting to his head, but it wasn't like this in the beginning, now he is turning into an ungrateful child.”It was Mrs. Mirano's turn to sigh. “I know my Son, honey, something must be bothering him.” She said.“Whatever it is, I suggest we remove him from the CEO seat and out someone capable on it, that will teach him a lesson or two.” Mr. Mirano suggested making his wife raise her eyebrows.“And, who do you suggest? You? Let's let him be,” she replied, but he wasn't having it “How about Reese?” His tone softened as he mentioned that name.It was a forbidden name in that household, Reese and Martha. Mrs Mirano's eyes hardened at the mention of that name and the reaction didn't escape her husband. He moved closer to her, holding both her hands in his. “Hear me out…” he started, but she cut her off.“I will no
48- Angry father
"Honey, we need to talk."Mr. Mirano looked up from his newspaper, lowering his reading glasses as he regarded his wife. "What is it, dear?"Mrs. Mirano took a deep breath, her fingers twisting the hem of her apron nervously. "It's Shane-Leo... he hasn't been home much since he became CEO."Mr. Mirano sighed, setting the paper aside. "He's just adjusting to his new role, Honey. Running the Mirano empire is no small feat, you know that better than anyone.""I understand that, but he used to at least stop by for dinner once a week," she replied, her voice tinged with concern. "He's always been so close to the company, but now it feels like it's all he thinks about."Mr. Mirano rubbed his temple. "I'll talk to him, alright? You know what? Maybe we should pay him a surprise visit in the office tomorrow,”She smiled, hugging her husband, “I would like that very much, now
47- A wish
Noting Shane-Leo's unusual levity with a keen eye, Jackie felt compelled to delve deeper. "I must admit, sir," he began, his lips forming a cordial grin, "it appears you're in an extraordinarily buoyant mood this evening. If I may ask, what is the source of this apparent jubilation?"Shane-Leo chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "Indeed, Jackie, it's been quite the day. You see, the government has finally intervened, and as a result, I have been entrusted with the leadership of Anderson's company.""That's wonderful news, sir!" Jackie exclaimed, a smile plastered on his face despite the undercurrent of unease that rippled beneath the surface. "I'm genuinely happy for you.""Your efforts are greatly appreciated, Jackie," Shane-Leo said, waving his hand dismissively. "Please, feel free to take your leave. You've done splendidly today."Bowing in a show of gratitude, Jackie replied, "Thank you, sir. Have a goo
