Chapter: Chapter 100: A Life TogetherIt was a quiet, perfect morning, with Brian playing nearby, his cheerful laughter filling the room as he built an elaborate castle out of blocks. There was a serenity that lingered in the air, a peacefulness that spoke of dreams realized and hopes fulfilled.Kendra leaned her head against Philip's shoulder, letting out a contented sigh. "If you'd told me a few years ago that we'd be sitting here like this, I wouldn't have believed it," she murmured, a smile playing at her lips. "Sometimes it still feels like a dream.Philip wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close as he looked down at her. "Well, if this is a dream, I never want to wake up," he replied softly. "We've been through so much, Kendra. And to come out on the other side like this… with you, with Brian… it's everything I could have ever wanted."They sat in comfortable silence, watching Brian place another block in his castle, the furrows deepening across his little brow.

Philip drew a breath, willing himself to stay calm, to stand his ground.Just as Kendra began to step forward, moving protectively in front of Philip, Douglas raised his hand and offered Philip a warm, unexpected smile.Philip froze, surprised, while the crowd held its breath, awaiting the worst.But then, much to the surprise of all present, Douglas reached out his hand to Philip, the smile on his face not feigned. "Congratulations, Philip," he said in that steady voice of his, his gaze clear. "You have shown bravery and true love toward Kendra.

"Yes, Philip, I'll marry you."A collective "Whoo." went up from the guests, and the balcony erupted into applause. Philip's heart soared as he slipped the ring onto her finger; the mixture of relief and overjoyed feelings mingled in a warm embrace as Kendra pulled him close. It was a sea of laughter and congratulatory shouts that filled the air, as family and friends closed in, each one swooping in to be part of the celebration.Philip leaned in close and whispered, "You've made me the happiest man alive."Kendra laughed, her eyes shining bright.

It was after months of planning, negotiation, and sleepless nights that their companies were merged into one, something that to them meant much more than business. This was a pledge for a new future-to be together, in every word's sense.Philip inclined toward Kendra, speaking in a low tone, but the undertones of pride were unmistakable. "We did it," he whispered, the sparks in his eyes telling volumes about the excitement inside him." "I always knew we could, but standing here with everyone, seeing it actually happen, it's even better than I'd imagined."Kendra's smile spread wide, and her heart swelled big with pride and affection.

That casual, cryptic message struck a cold knot in his stomach, and he knew Kendra felt it too.Kendra's gaze darted between the note and Philip's face, her expression a mixture of concern and irritation. "Do you… do you know who this is from?" she asked, though the tenor of her tone was suggestive that indeed she did have her suspicions. She just needed him to confirm it.Philip exhaled loudly, folding the note as he met her gaze, the name catching in his throat like a bad taste. "It's… Bianca," he admitted quietly, tension lacing his voice. "It's her handwriting.

This meeting had been a long time coming; an opportunity to say goodbye to a past that once had promised comfort but had never fitted her. She looked at him now, a pang of sadness in her heart and deep resolve to shut this chapter finally.The silence was broken first by Douglas, his voice firm yet soft. "I suppose this is it, then?" he softly asked, as if he also had finally reconciled himself with what was about to happen.Kendra nodded, her lips tugging into a sad sweet smile.

By morning, she had shifted fully into protective mode.Her first move was Daniel.She contacted the head of her private security team before sunrise, instructing him to discreetly station undercover guards at Daniel’s new school in New York.Every corner—from the main gate to the rear fence, was reinforced with eyes that blended into the background. She wanted no alarms, no uniforms, nothing that would make Daniel feel he was being watched like a prisoner.Inside her mansion, she introduced silent surveillance—barely noticeable and designed not to disrupt everyday life.The plan wasn’t to cage Daniel; it was to shield him from a world that kept reaching for them with claws sharpened by hatred and entitlement.When Daniel woke up and fou

Adrian didn’t usually interrupt her mornings unless it was urgent.The moment he walked in, urgency filled the air.He held a sealed brown envelope in his hand, his grip tight, his expression darker than she had ever seen on him. He didn’t speak immediately—he simply extended the envelope.“Sarah… you need to see this.”She took it, her brows tightening as she slid her finger under the flap. The papers inside were thick. Heavy.And the weight of what they carried seemed to hit her even before she read the first line.The silence in the room deepened as she scanned the documents.

Her spine stiffened the more she stared at it, that familiar instinct—sharp, cold, and precise, crawling through her body.Adrian arrived barely ten minutes after she called, entering the house with the same urgency she felt inside.He didn’t bother to sit. He went straight to her, eyes scanning the message she shoved into his hand.His jaw clenched slowly, and even though he kept his voice steady, the tension in it was unmistakable.“This isn’t random,” he said, handing back the phone. “It’s calculated.

"Not until we speak with them directly. The Nnadede family has been through a lot. Turning up at their door unannounced might push them away instead of helping.

The morning had been a blur of meetings and paperwork, but her mind was elsewhere. The past weeks had been stormy: their victory against the Fury family, reclaiming what she lost, and finally getting justice from the wrongs done to her. Yet deep down, she knew there were still loose strings to tie.A soft knock at her door pulled her out of her musings. It was Emilia peeking inside. "Ma'am, you have a visitor.""Who is it?" Nicole asked, assuming some other business partner or yet another journalist looking for an interview.Emilia hesitated. "It's Taylor Fury."Nicole's breath hitched. Taylor? Here? Of all people?"Let him in," she said, though her voice did not reflect the sudden turmoil that had risen in her chest.The door swung open, and Taylor walked in, his usual arrogance replaced with something unfamiliar -- humility.He looked different, almost worn down, as if the weight
