Roger was in a deep sleep when his phone vibrated on the nightstand. Stretching slightly, he reached for it and saw his secretary’s caller ID, frowning imperceptibly.

“Do you even know what time it is?” He asked groggily but his voice refused to lose its firmness.

Dahlia grew nervous at the end of the line, going straight to the point. “Sir, I’ve just been informed that Silent Chase is pursuing our top client, Freddie’s Games. They are proposing to design a kids' game in under twenty-four hours. If they succeed, Freddie’s Games will cancel their contract with us.”

Roger felt a headache coming on. With only five days left to convince Karen to stay as his wife, he had no intention of going to the office. He planned to send an email to Dahlia as soon as he woke up to inform her, but now this.

He ruffled his curly hair in frustration. “How much time do we have to meet the deadline?”

"Twenty – four hours, ending at midnight. Rick wants to know if we should participate in the challenge beca

    Karen’s mood was soiled. Loretta James was the sister of one of Tonia’s minions, who never liked her. She eyed Karen from top to bottom, surprised to see her like this.“What are you wearing? Tonia said you were disowned, and Roger was still chasing after her. Even as a bodyguard, he never liked you, and now that he’s a CEO, I can’t wait for his wedding with Tonia.”Karen wanted to laugh. It seemed to her that Loretta was only standing on old news without a chance at the latest events, or Tonia was just too ashamed to let her in on the latest update.“You know what, Loretta, talking too much makes your mouth so wide, it’s disgusting.”Loretta’s contorted expression made Sandra laugh, but with a glare from the latter, her expression turned serious. “I’m sorry.”“Come on, dear, you can laugh all you want, it’s a free world,” Karen encouraged her. Loretta was boiling with rage. Karen used to be so shy, so what happened? Why was she carrying herself with such confidence? “You get out of

    The question caught Karen off guard, and before she could fully recover, another one followed. “Don’t forget our deal,” Giovanni reminded her.Karen felt a lump in her throat as she processed his words. She had heard stories about mafia families, and meeting Giovanni had been the opposite of what she expected. However, his question left her puzzled.Was he really asking her to insist on divorcing his son, or was he testing her? “You seem quiet. Is he with you?” Giovanni's question brought Karen back to reality.“No, he's not here. I'm just surprised. He's your son, so why do you want me to still divorce him?” Roger had put in so much to make it up to her that she felt conflicted.“Because I raised him to be better. I won't always be there for his younger siblings, and they will be his responsibility. Speaking of younger ones, I'm not just referring to Delanie and Declan but also Hector and Hendrix. If he learns the hard way, he will be able to guide them better in matters of love.”Ka

    Wade stared at Karen. There was something different about her, something he could not put a finger on. Was it Roger? Things didn’t seem to be going well between them.“I couldn’t order for you because I didn’t know what you’d like,” he sipped his coffee and stared at her with interest. Karen smiled.“No, I already had breakfast so I’m fine.”Wade nodded and placed his cup on the table with a gentle touch. His movements were smooth, but Karen found Roger’s movements elegant.She couldn’t understand why she found herself thinking about him a lot these few days. He seemed to be just everywhere around her.In the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, garden, the list was endless, but nothing surprised her like Wade’s question. “Are you and Roger back together?”It was as if he knew who she was thinking about but couldn’t help wondering why such a young woman was already married and having issues, whereas the question seemed intrusive to Karen.Her relationship with Roger was still undefined, but it

    A chauffeur stepped out of a Rolls Royce Phantom and opened the door for Karen, while at the same time, Roger stepped out of his car and opened the door for her.The switch was quick, and Roger waited for her car to leave before driving off. Karen wasn’t accustomed to such a lifestyle, and the only way out was to learn how to drive.Now, that was number one on her plate after completing her exams. She opened the luxury handbag she admired a lot from the collection to remove her phone when she caught sight of a few things in the attached purse.One was a black card, the other was Roger’s business card, showing his position and the direction to his office.A smile stretched her lips. These were things Tonia would love, but Karen wasn’t even interested in them.She dialed Wade’s number, planning to arrange to meet him halfway after she was done with school. He answered on the first ring.“Mavis or Karen? I don’t know which one to use,” disappointment laced his voice, and Karen felt remor

As soon as the changes begin to show, I'll delete it.More chapters will be uploaded in a few hours but for now, please find the continuation of chapter 55 below, thank you.Amusement overshadowed Roger. His identity was announced, but most people thought he was one of those CEOs who were skilled in organizing and making decisions. Roger could do the work himself without breaking a sweat.“Don’t forget, Ryan, that I gave you a chance. The moment your position is occupied, you can’t come back.”“I won’t,” he said confidently. Roger ended the call. If he could clear the folders on his desk, including the meetings, by midday, he could focus on the battle with Silent Chase.It was already midday by the time he cleared his desk and ended his meetings, but Karen had not returned.Worried, he checked her location and realized she was in the building. A sigh of relief escaped hi

    Karen pursed her lips, still unsure of herself but not in the mood to delve deeper into it. “What keeps you awake?” she asked seriously, and Roger's expression dropped.He couldn’t hide it from her. “It’s work-related. Dad used to do it, but since my identity was announced, I can’t ask him for help."Being in the shadows was easier because his father would have signed those documents on his behalf. If Roger had known that things would turn out this way, he would have asked for extra time, but Karen’s response awakened something inside of him.“Is there a way I can help?” Wealth was accompanied by responsibilities, and Karen knew that Roger shouldered many. It’s the reason she gets stunned with his doing everything for her.He was moved by her willingness to not just be a passive but an active listener. “You have an exam coming up,” he reminded her, adding, “I got you the timetable.” He forwarded it from his phone to hers, and Karen was touched, wanting to repay his kindness. “Tell me
