But unfortunately he was dead, Dickson shot him on the forehead. Dominic was currently checking out some documents on his lap top where he sat on the couch when he heard stiff moments and a dry small cough coming from Vanessa’s direction. He immediately looked up at Vanessa’s direction and saw movements from her, immediately he stood up and dash towards her. “Vanessa are you alright?” He asked the struggling vanessa who was finding it hard to open her eyes due to bright lights emerging inside the room. Dominic immediately press the

Chapter: Chapter ninety one. Third person perspective. Vanessa was shot on a the left part of her arm from the back, Dominic quickly carried her in his arms and rushed out of the body, while some of his men followed him and the others stayed behind to clean up the mess. Already Darren and the other men had just arrived. Darren saw Dominic looking panicked as he carried a lady in his arm which he guessed was Vanessa. He quickly got in the car and reversed towards we’re Dominic was rushing from. Dominic got inside the back seat with Vanessa in his arms. He was so worried and praying inwardly that nothing should happen to Vanessa. Darren drive at the fastest way possible he could, he had already seen that Vanessa was losing so much blood at the moment and it would only take the grace of the lord she makes it. That was why he didn’t care about breaking the rules of the road, he knew driving as fast as he could was the only way to get them to the nearest hospital. “Dominic apply pressure on the wound, so the

Chapter: Chapter Ninety. Third person perspective. Dominic and his men had already surrounded the house, while Jackson and his gangs were unaware of the event that was about to unfold. Dominic’s men were currently waiting for their boss Signal so they could target the house. After confirming all targets, Dominic gave his men the signals to start targeting the enemies. And in no time gunshots could be heard everywhere. The sounds of gunshots could be heard where Jackson and Lucy sat discussing their next plans. Lucy became so frightened “Jackson are we under attack?” She asked him in fear. “How’s this possible?” He asked in shock, he quickly got up and made his way to the door when the door flew open and Jackson men ran toward him. “Boss we are under attack,” the man said in a rushed voice. “How’s the man holding out?” Jackson asked the man. “The men are trying to hold them off but it won’t be too long before they breach and make their way here” he answers. Jackson looked so perplexed and confused.

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Nine. Vanessa’s pov. Who’s pregnant? Definitely can’t be me though. “Who told you I’m pregnant?” I asked her. “Why have you been throwing up then?” She asks sarcastically. “So any girl feeling nauseous, is probably pregnant? Wow Lucy, your sense of thinking is very low just like you” I said to her in a stern voice and the next thing I knew my other cheek got hit with her hand. “How dare y….” “Ohhh just shut the fuck up! I can get rid of you any time so you better watch your language and mouth here, Rose is not here to save you” she said to me. And I looked at her furiously. “Why are you doing all this Lucy? Is it because Dominic does not like you? There are so many men out there that can satisfy you so why ruin yourself for one man?” I asked her. And she lets out a laugh. “Why I’m i doing all this?” She laughs out loud again. “I lost my Brother because of you bitch, and you are asking why I’m doing all this? Come on Vanessa I will do the worst to you, I’m going to avenge my br

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Eight. Lucy’s pov. “That bastard Dominic had the guts to end the call on me, I will teach him a lesson by killing that bitch” I screeched out loud. “You will Do no such thing Lucy, Vanessa is very beautiful and I want to have her first before getting rid of her and sending her body to Dominic, now I know why he fell for her, she’s indeed very beautiful Lucy” he says to me which even annoyed me more. “What’s there to like about her? That bitch was the reason my Brother got killed, so I’m not going to spare her” I said to him in a stern voice. “You will obey me Lucy, if not you will end up like your brother, as I said earlier that’s what I’m going to do, Don’t worry I’m still going to kill her and send her dead body to Dominic, and besides we have all the time here to do what we want there’s no way Dominic can find us here so chill” he says and leaves my room. Yeah his right he can have his way with that bitch I didn’t care more torture to her body. I planned this whole scenario and it

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Seven. Dominic’s Pov. “Jackson, if you dare lay a hand on Her I will kill you and full Family” I said in a stern voice. “Ohhh Dominic, just chill okay, she’s a beauty I think it’s best I have her for myself” Jackson said from the other side of the phone. My blood began to boil in more anger when I heard those words. “If you dare lay a hand on her Jackson, I will torture you so much you will beg mercy” He starts laughing in a mocking tone. “That’s if you can find me” he laughs and before I could say anything he hung up. “Fuckkkkkkkk” I screamed out loud in anger. “Boss calm down, being upset would not solve anything right now, we have to start looking for routes and ways to save Vanessa” Dickson said to me. I turned to look at him, and I knew he was right. I have to bring the old ruthless Dominic back who’s always one step ahead. I’m not going to lose anybody again, especially Not Vanessa, I had yet to confess my feelings for her and I regret it so much now. I had been avoiding h

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred And three. EPILOGUE. A year later…The Preston mansion glowed with golden light as evening settled over the city. The garden, once a silent witness to Darren’s solitary life, now echoed with laughter. Mia’s laughter.She sat on the bench beneath the blossoming magnolia tree, a soft hand resting on the gentle curve of her stomach. Her cheeks glowed with the unmistakable radiance of motherhood.“Careful,” Darren murmured, crouching beside her, his hand covering hers protectively. “You shouldn’t be sitting out in the evening chill.”Mia smiled, her eyes sparkling. “You’re still overprotective. I’m fine, Darren. The doctor said short walks are good for me.”“Walks, yes,” he muttered, brushing stray hair from her face. “But sitting here while the wind blows? No. You’ll catch a cold. And our child will blame me for not taking care of you.”She giggled softly, leaning into his touch. “Our child will know their father is a worrier. Just like he’s always been since the day we met.”Darren’s heart swelle

Chapter: Chapter One Hundred Two. Two weeks passed. Two long weeks where time seemed suspended between hope and despair. Mia lay in the pristine white hospital bed, machines humming steadily beside her, while Darren never once left her side. He slept on the couch, worked from his laptop in the corner, and spent his nights holding her hand as though his touch alone would tether her to life.And then, one quiet morning, her eyelashes fluttered. Her fingers twitched against his palm. Darren’s head shot up, his heart pounding, and when her soft eyes finally blinked open, relief washed over him like a storm breaking into sunlight.“Mia,” he breathed, his voice shaking for the first time in years.She turned her head weakly, her lips parting. “Darren…?”In that moment, everything else, the revenge, the power, the anger melted away. He pulled her gently into his arms, careful of her frailty, and let his tears fall freely against her hair. “You’re awake. You’re really awake.”Jenny, who had been dozing by the bedside, woke to

Chapter: Chapter One hundred One. The news of Mia’s accident spread like wildfire. By the next morning, whispers carried through every floor of Preston Group, through the streets, and into the homes of those who had watched the Thompsons and Prestons for years. Jenny, Mia’s closest friend, hadn’t left her side once. Whenever Darren was out meeting police officers or lawyers, Jenny remained planted in that hospital chair, holding Mia’s hand, brushing back her hair, whispering encouragement into ears that might not even hear her.The entire office staff was shaken. Messages poured in from colleagues who wanted to visit, but none could pass through the layers of security Darren had stationed around Mia’s room. Armed guards stood at every corner, their gazes sharp, their presence unyielding. No one would get close to her again not while Darren was still breathing.In the boardrooms of Preston, in the lobbies of competitors, in the buzzing feeds of social media, the story took root: Mia Thompson, wife of Darren Edwards, vi

Chapter: Chapter One hundred. The hospital room was silent except for the steady beeping of the machines that kept Mia tethered between life and death. Darren sat slumped in the chair beside her bed, his fingers laced tightly through hers. His eyes were bloodshot from sleepless nights, but they never left her face. Her pale cheeks, the faint bruise near her temple, the fragile rise and fall of her chest each detail seared into his heart like a brand.He bent forward, resting his forehead against her hand. His voice was low, cracked with emotion.“You hear me, Mia? You’re not leaving me. You’re not leaving us. I’ve lost too much already. I can’t… I won’t lose you.”The memory of the doctor’s words echoed in his skull like a hammer. Pregnant… miscarriage… critical condition. Rage surged through him again, hot and uncontrollable, but he forced it down. Not now. Not here. He couldn’t let her feel his fury when she needed his strength.“Hold on, my love,” he whispered, brushing his lips against her knuckles. “Just a l

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Nine. The sterile brightness of the hospital corridor could not soften the blow that came with the doctor’s words. Darren stood like stone, fists curled tightly at his sides, his entire body trembling as the doctor spoke gently, almost regretfully.“I’m sorry, Mr. Edwards… or rather, Mr. Preston,” the doctor corrected softly, lowering his eyes. “Your wife… she was pregnant. The accident… it caused a miscarriage. I’m afraid the child is gone.”For a moment, Darren couldn’t breathe. The words hung in the air, choking him. His vision blurred, not from tears but from the fire igniting in his chest. Pregnant. His Mia. Their child. Gone.The doctor went on about blood loss, about stabilizing her condition, about survival rates, but Darren heard nothing. All he saw was Mia’s pale face through the glass window, unconscious and broken. All he felt was the hollow weight in his chest where hope had been.His jaw tightened, his voice raw as he forced out words. “They’ll pay for this.” His hand slammed

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Eight. In the Thompson estate, laughter bubbled like champagne. Eva twirled in the center of the living room, her silk dress catching the dim light, while her mother reclined with a satisfied smirk.“It worked,” Eva announced gleefully, her voice laced with triumph. “Mia’s lying in a hospital bed right now. Did you hear, Mother? That truck nearly flattened her. She won’t crawl out of this one so easily.”Mrs. Thompson swirled the red wine in her glass, her expression less animated. “Don’t celebrate too loudly, Eva. Accidents can turn. People survive things they shouldn’t. Don’t underestimate her luck.”Eva scoffed, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. “Luck runs out eventually. And Mia’s has. By the time she wakes up, if she even does her precious reputation will already be shredded. And Darren?” Her lips curled in disdain. “He’ll have no choice but to watch it all crumble.”Mrs. Thompson set down her glass, her eyes gleaming coldly. “Just remember, Eva… nothing is certain until the body
