TRACY'S POV:My father's health is very important to me and if getting married to Jacob will improve his health, then I will get married to him.“Tracy, please i know that you are so worried about your father and you want him to be happy by getting married to me, but that's not the best decision, let us get to know each other first, we can go on a date”. I took a deep breath and decided to listen to Jacob.My phone rang and it was my son's nanny that was calling me.I picked up the call immediately to know what she wanted. “Hello Miss Whitmore, Alvin and I are in the hospital to see his grandfather”. She said to me and I decided to prepare for my son's hatred.“Does my son know that I am here too?”. I asked with a low voice.“No, he doesn't know”. She replied.“Okay, we are at the VIP section, suite ward one”. I directed and prepared to stay away from my son because I don't want him to be sad.“What's wrong Tracy?”. Jacob asked.“It's nothing, my son's nanny called to tell me that A
TRACY'S POV:I hope he believes Jacob because I would like Jacob to be his father from now henceforth.He knelt down before me and folded his hands and looked up to me with guilt evident in his facial expression. “Mother, please forgive Alvin for being impulsive and rude towards you. My classmates bully me and call me a bastard in school, that's why I really needed to have my own father”.I patted his hair gently, smiled and carried him on my lap.“You don't need to explain, I understand everything. I am glad that your father has finally come back to us. From now on, if any of your classmates bully you, just let me and your Dad know, alright?”.“Alright mum”. He said and pecked me on my cheeks.The happiness I felt was priceless. My son and I have made up, all thanks to Jacob. I really owe Jacob a lot. I stood up to go and thank him while Alvin's Nanny fed Alvin the ice cream.“Tracy, I am sorry that I didn't inform you first before making this decision to tell your son that I am h
TRACY'S POV:I stood at the edge of the rooftop, my gaze fixed on the glittering city lights that stretched endlessly before me. Folks City – the place I now call home. It is beautiful, powerful, and relentless. Just like me.Five years ago, I was a naive girl who believed in love, friendship, and loyalty. But life has a way of teaching cruel lessons, and I learned mine the hard way. I was Tracy Brooks, the girl who had a secret crush on her best friend's twin brother. I thought playing hard to get would make Dante notice me. And it worked. It worked too well.I chuckled bitterly, recalling those years, when my heart raced at the mere thought of him. I was young and foolish. I fell for his charm, his sweet words, and those mesmerizing eyes that always seemed to see right through me. But he never really saw me, did he? To him, I was just a game. A bet.If only I had known then what I know now. If only I had known that my best friend, Anna, would become my nightmare. She forgot all the
TRACY'S POV:I left the office with my assistant Emily. She handled the files that needed to be signed.“Place those files on top of my table. I will work on them tomorrow”. I took my hand bag to leave the office without saying anything else to her.“Sorry to interrupt you Miss Whitmore, you have an important meeting by 6pm this evening and……”“Postpone the meeting. I am very busy”. I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.“But the chairman said the meeting was very important”. She said with sweat on her forehead. My assistant doesn't dare interrupt me when I give her an order unless it's coming from my father and my father told me about this meeting before, I was so occupied with my plans with Lucas tonight that I forgot about the meeting. My phone rang and before I brought out the phone to answer the call, I already knew the caller ID.“Hello, my love”. Lucas tried his best to entice me with his voice. The most fun part of this game is I always act like a harmless lamb
TRACY'S POV:When I stepped outside with Williams escorting me, I called Lucas to tell him that I was done with the meeting. “Hello sweet baby”. I kinda got irritated with the odd names he uses to entice me. I can't wait to discard him just like I did with the other rich men.“I am done with the meeting”. I said calmly. “Wow… you were quite fast with it. I am at the parking lot already waiting for you”. He said cheerfully. “Please can you come to the entrance of the building?”. “Right away, my lady”. He replied and I am sure he must be grinning from ear to ear right now.“James, you can go back now since Lucas has come to pick me up”. I said to James who has been waiting for me.“Actually, Boss Lucas said I should hold on”. He replied to me calmly. Lucas arrived in the next few minutes with his limo. This limo is his favourite, when he came out, I observed he looked more handsome tonight but I must confess, not as handsome and muscular as Dante.“You look so stunning babe”. He pe
DANTE’S POVI came to Folks City for a business proposal, intending to finalize the deal I started with Mr. Brooks through chat. But when I arrived, he informed me that his daughter would be the one attending the meeting in his absence.I hadn’t expected his daughter to be her.Tracy. The woman I regret ever leaving.I never loved her back then—or at least, I thought I didn’t. But after she disappeared without a trace, I found myself yearning for her, haunted by what I had lost.And now, after five years, she stood before me.I could see the coldness in her eyes, the guarded way she carried herself. I knew I was the reason for that. I was the one who turned her into this. I just hoped—somehow—she would find it in her to forgive me.Then I saw it. The way she smiled at the man who had picked her up in a limo. A genuine, happy smile.Has she moved on?The thought tightened around my chest like a vice. I needed a drink.---The bar was crowded, music blaring, but I had no interest in the
Dante's Pov:Mr Dante, we are here to arrest you for invading Miss Tracy's privacy”.One of the police officer said to me as they came in.“That woman is my fiancee, this is a personal matter. She is angry that I left her for a long time. I have been trying to plead for her forgiveness but she is still very much angry at me”. “Oh since, it's a family matter and considering that you are an influential figure in the city, I won't bother you but you have been restricted from seeing Miss Tracy”.“If I get restricted from seeing her, how do we solve our family issue then?” I asked him.“I don't think that's my problem Mr Dante, you must obey the law. She made a complaint and we are not arresting you right now because we can see that it's a family issue, but you mustn't go near her in the future”.“I understand, but let me ask you, in case we coincidentally met in a party, does this have any effect on me?” I asked because if it doesn't, then meeting her in the future will always be a coi
Dante's Pov:She is a vile woman.“Mr Dante, is this how you treat your wife?” the reporter asked from the back while still videoing me.“Get the hell out!”. I glared at her and she opened the door at once and quickly went down.“Dante, don't be too harsh on her. The truth is that she was just making a fake video. I wouldn't be that foolish to wash my dirty linen in public”.“Where is Anna?” I asked.“Anna left me.immediately we arrived at the airport. She said she was late for her meeting”
TRACY'S POV:I hope he believes Jacob because I would like Jacob to be his father from now henceforth.He knelt down before me and folded his hands and looked up to me with guilt evident in his facial expression. “Mother, please forgive Alvin for being impulsive and rude towards you.

TRACY'S POV: was speechless and cold. My father has developed heart failure? How possible is this?“Tracy don't get yourself so worked up, your father will be fine”. Jacob held my hand and consoled me.Just then the door opened and my father was brought in on a stretcher.He looked so weak and pale as I saw him.The doctors and nurses help place him on his bed.“Dr Fred, how is my father's condition?”. I asked my father's personal Doctor.“Just hear what your father has to say first then come to my office for further explanation and please no matter what he asks of you don't turn him down because his condition might get worse if you do”. “Alright Dr Fred”. I said to the doctor and turned to my father.I knelt down at the edge of his bed and caressed his face. “Why is my iron lady vulnerable?”. He teased me but his tone shows that he is really weak. “Father, what happened to you?”. I asked with a worried tone. “I am fine dear. Your Dad is just getting old”. He replied like what's
TRACY'S POV:“Tracy, you are definitely crossing the line, and I won't let you play with my brother's emotions like that”. Anna said with a glare but I didn't even spare her a glance.“Dante, I am running late for a meeting, I will see you later”. I saw Ava coming and I pretended to fall, Dante caught me and I wrapped my arms around his neck.I saw the anger on Ava's face, I stuck out my tongue at her.“I think I twisted my ankle”. Dante worriedly checked it out.“Let me drive you to where you want to go”. He offered and I nodded.Reporters came and started throwing different questions at me.“Miss Whitmore, who have you selected as the winner?”.“Miss Whitmore, we have seen how close you are with Mr Dante, are you his mistress?”.“I said earlier that the masses will vote for their favourite person, the result of the winner will be out in two days time”. “Who are you to Mr Dante?”. One of the reporters asked but before I could answer the question, Ava came and started talking. “Mr
TRACY'S POV:I drove to the site where the shoot will take place.There were as many reporters on the site as I had planned.There were also people who were curious to know whom I will choose for the famous brand.I entered the site with my body guards to avoid the reporters from approaching me, at least they are not needed right now.“Miss Whitmore is here! The youngest billionaire in the city and beyond”.“She looks so stunning”.I heard different whispers as I walked past the people that came to watch what would happen.I saw the shock on Ava's face as she saw me.Anna, and Dante were also standing in surprise.“Look, who is here, are you also here for the shoot? When did you become a star? Or did you climb a rich man’s bed to be able to come here?”. Ava who seems not to recognize my identity yet said with an arrogant tone.“Did you also sulk up to your parents for them to bring you here?”. She got angry at my question and wanted to slap me but one of my guards blocked her.“Tracy
TRACY'S POV:I have a new strategy on how to make Dante regret what he did to me.I was used as a bet five years ago. Why not make him a bet, five years later.“Dante, get ready to be used as a bet by me”. I mumbled under my breath and prepared to go and see my son before going for the shooting for the star that would represent my brand.My son has not been close to me ever since he started going to school.He always asks after his father because other children have their children with them but he doesn't. And I know he wouldn't understand anything at this young age if I were to tell him how his father treated me five years ago.He lives with my father in his mansion. He also has a nanny who takes care of him.His condition is that when I find his father then he will come back to live with me.I go to see him often but he always refuses to see me. But I won't give up on him. I am sure that when he grows up he will understand things better. “Alvin, please open the door for me please
ANNA'S POV:I gritted my teeth as I entered my brother's car. Tracy has bitten more than she can chew.How dare she play games with me? I won't let her off easily. The war that started five years ago will continue until I cripple the wings that she uses to fly.“Are you still angry?”.“Why won't I be? In Fact I am mad at her and I won't make life easy for her from this day forward”. I said with anger.“Sis, the level that Tracy is in now, is out of our league. She controls most of the businesses in Folk city”. “I don't care. I will find a way to make her pay”.Just then my phone rang, the caller ID showed Ava. I picked up the call.“Slasher in law, your brother has abandoned me”. She said with a sad tone.“Where are you?” I asked her.“I am in one of his houses at the estate, it's so boring here. I want to call the company that invited me to Folks city to prepare a penthouse for me”. “There is no need for that, I will send the location of where you can come”. I ended the call and st
