“Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound disrespectful,” Mr. White said, directing his voice at the board, “but Mr. Lucas here has no clue how to run this company. He’s barely around. We all know Morris handed him a portion of his shares, but that doesn’t make him qualified. Especially not now, when the company just recovered from a serious financial blow.”

“I beg your pardon, Mr. White,” Lucas replied, his voice clear and slightly raised, standing to his feet without hesitation. “I have a degree in Business Administration, and I’ve been working behind the scenes to make sure this company stays solid. Just because I haven’t been physically present every day doesn’t mean I’m ignorant about how things work here.”

He slammed his palm on the polished surface in front of him, not caring if it startled anyone. Jeff glanced up from where he sat and added calmly, “He’s telling the truth. He’s been quietly active, and I trust he’ll take this company to greater heights.”

    “Grandpa, whatever decision Jeff must have made, it’s his to make. You need to rest, stop bothering yourself over it,” Fred said gently, rising to walk him inside. “Would you like some cold tea? The night’s drawing in, and it might help calm your nerves.”Grandpa Lu chuckled, shaking his head. “Days like this, I hate that you’re so loyal to my grandson. I knew you wouldn’t spill anything, but I had to try.” He patted Fred’s shoulder softly. “Still, I’m grateful you’re in his corner. I’ve never regretted taking you in after that night.”“Thank you, Grandpa,” Fred said quietly.“I’ll be on my way then. I know you hate being disturbed late.”*********************Angelie sat at a modest wooden table in an open restaurant. The place was already buzzing even though it was still early. The aroma of hot beverages danced through the air, mostly from fresh Nestlé tea. She watched a woman trying to coax her sleepy son into finishing his drink. They looked like they were late for something.Luca

    Lucas's lips curved into a satisfied smile. "Of course, you would say yes, but that was fast. That means you trust me," he said, letting out a low chuckle. His eyes danced with mischief as he took another step forward, his posture relaxed like someone who had just scored the winning goal. "We’re heading somewhere, brother. So now, tell me, what are your terms and conditions?"Jeff didn’t waste any time. He knew Lucas, and any delay would give him room to twist things. "I’ll hand over the company, but first, you must divorce Angelie. I want you far from her life, and not another stupid offer from you. And secondly, this stays between us. No one must know, not our mother, not Dad, not Grandpa. This is strictly confidential. If you can agree to all these, I’ll ask my lawyer to draft a contract. Then we have a deal."Lucas clapped once and spun slightly, doing a small dance that made it look like he had won a jackpot. His laughter bounced off the walls. "We have a deal, brother. Send the

    “Angelie isn't aware, and I want it to remain that way. Focus on your life, your upcoming marriage, and stay far away from my child. She is finally moving on, and I want it to stay that way. Olivia can give you as many kids as you want. Now, if you don't mind, leave my house before my children return. I'll ask the maid to show you the way.”Her voice didn’t rise, but the firmness in her tone carried all manner of seriousness. Jeff stood there, momentarily stunned, feeling as though the ground beneath him had shifted. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. The sound of the housekeeper’s gentle voice broke his trance. “Please, sir, let me walk you out.”He nodded slowly and followed, his body was already too weak to make another argument. He hadn’t expected this. Not this, not like he had an expectation.****************“Are you in there, son? Should I come inside?”Pat’s voice was soft but close enough to make Elizabeta’s eyes shoot wide open. She scrambled to grab her dress from

    “I mean, I didn’t believe that cooked-up story by Angelie, but I lay low because of my mum. But their faces, the resemblance… it couldn’t all be in my head. Take a look.” Lucas stretched his hand toward Jeff, handing him a neatly folded paper.Jeff hesitated before taking the document, his fingers trembling slightly as he unfolded it. Lucas continued, calm and confident as ever. “That’s the DNA test I secretly conducted months ago. I did it behind your back. I didn’t want to bring it up, thought it was best to let things cool off. But look at our family now, chaos everywhere, it will never end anytime soon, so why delay further?”He took another slow bite of the red apple in his hand, chewing leisurely like he wasn’t dropping a bomb that could change lives.Jeff’s eyes hurried across the paper. His brows furrowed deeper with each passing second. He read it again. Then once more. “This… this has to be a prank. Lucas, if this is one of your ridiculous stunts, I swear…”Lucas shrugged, s

    “Start talking.” Jacob sat down heavily on the bed, his eyes fixed on Morris. His mouth twitched slightly, unsure of what was about to spill from his lips.Jacob let out a long breath, then said, “In the real world, I’m your uncle, but in truth... I’m your father. I’ve loved you more than words can explain., and you know this”Morris crossed his arms, trying to hold back the weight of the moment and what comes with it. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it echoed in his ears.“I know I told you I was the only child of your grandfather, but that was a lie. I had a brother, my twin. His name was Reuben. We were identical.”“What?” Morris flung his hands into the air. His mouth opened and closed a few times. He blinked rapidly. “A twin? Identical?”“Yes. We were twins. I was the difficult one. Rebellious. I didn’t want anything to do with our father. Reuben, though… he was the golden child. Got a scholarship, went to the best schools. I hated how much I envied him. I kept my dis
