Chapter: Domestic War“Hello, mate. You were under no obligation to leave me. I was simply trying to be nice to you.I had no idea it would make you so angry." MacLeish shouted from a distance, but it was too late. Antonio had already departed."Boys, what is the matter with them?” Agnes, MacLeish's wife, inquired of her twin boys, Mark and Mathew, both 25 years old.“I do not know.There is only one method to find out. Let us go to see Dad and ask him what happened. We cannot keep standing here and making assumptions,” Mark suggested.“Mum, it is true. Mark is entirely correct.Let us go find out for ourselves,” Matthew proposed as they all went to confront MacLeish and force him to tell the truth.“Hey, you have arrived already. Antonio cannot stop inquiring about you. He sends his greetings.” MacLeish said. He was surprised to see his family show up. They were the last people he expected to see at the time.“We just saw how he walked out on you, furious. Have a problem with him? You can talk to us

Chapter: Friends To Foes “Our friendship means more to me than silver and gold. It cannot be sold for any money. More businesses will always emerge, but not right now.

You should know that I will choose to attend yours a million times,” MacLeish explained. “I am honoured to have you as a friend. It means I am not alone.” Antonio smiled. “How is your family doing? Are they present with you?” He deviated from the main point of the conversation. “They are right here with me. Do you want to speak with them? I could invite them here, if you'd like.” MacLeish responded. He was about to invite his family over when Antonio stopped him. “No. This will not be necessary. Allow them to enjoy themselves,” I would personally go speak with them. I would rather not worry you because you just got to the party," Antonio insisted. “I would like to pose a question to you. As soon as I arrived, that was the firs

Chapter: Reaching A Compromise Mary was shocked by his attitude. When he ignored his calls and violated the rules, she hoped he would reprimand him, but that never happened. He welcomed her instead, much like the prodigal son in the Bible. "I have a confession to make, Dad. In actuality, I…" She wanted to speak up, but her Father silenced her. "Nothing at all from you. A hot bath is all you need. Why don't you come in while I make your bath with some delicious treats? I am aware that you are currently starving,” he said, denying her the opportunity to clarify. She had wanted to tell him everything, including the “one-night stand” she had had with an unknown man.***************** Mary has not moved on from the unpleasant incident that happened twelve days ago.

He once denied her the chance to communicate her feelings, but now she would sooner die t

Chapter: A Night With The Stranger The freezing, arid air pierced Mary's delicate skin as she looked down the deserted street. She was the only person on the dreaded, lonely street. The howling of the wind opened her eyes. She arrived at her boyfriend's doorstep in the dead of night, her face flushed with confusion. She needed someone to talk to and share her anguish. “I only hope he is home.” Mary, draw a deep breath. “You are capable of doing this.” She gathered her courage and knocked softly on Daniel's metal door. Unfortunately, no one answered. She got nervous and dialled his number. “Thank God he is home. Perhaps he is asleep.” She sighed as his phone rang from inside. She knocked again, this time harder, until he appeared at the door, shirtless and sweating profusely. “Hey. Why are you here? I did not expect to see you. You should have called.” “Why are you surprised to see me at your house? Is this my first visit with you? Look at your face; you are not even happy to see me. No hugs or k

Chapter: Shocking Announcement Shocking Announcement “If you do not marry Mary within the next few days, you will not be able to inherit anything from the family. I will give Romeo, your younger brother, your entire inheritance. Should you choose to disregard my directives, you would no longer be the managing director of TG Inc. operations. Simply gaze at yourself. To the family, you are nothing more than an absolute letdown. You are still living under my roof at the age of 28, even though your brother has already secured a flat. If only your mother were.” Antonia became agitated as he yelled at Hilton. He didn't hesitate to utter derogatory remarks. “Would you dare criticize my mother? Pull her name from your lips.”Hilton got a thunderous slap for his anger toward his father. He rubbed his cheeks angrily and went back to his room, only to discover Chloe packing and getting ready to leave. “Why are you doing this?” he inquired. "You must not be blind, am I right? I heard the whole thing. I would prefer t
