The surgery took longer than intended. Katrina paced around impatiently, afraid something might have gone wrong.

Jace, who was beside her, didn’t leave. He tried to pacify her, but she couldn’t be comforted. Not until the door finally opened again and the doctors came out.

  • Too close brother    Get back at him

    The atmosphere inside the boardroom was tense. Directors sat around the long polished table, their expressions serious, uncertain whispers passing between them.At the head of the table, Adam adjusted his suit calmly, his expression rigid with seriousness. He adjusted the mic on the table and cleared his throat, calling everyone’s attention to him.“Ladies and gentlemen, I called this meeting to vote Director Jace Holloway out of this great empire,” he began.Murmurs started again, a few in agreement, some looked confused, and the rest wondered what had happened.Over the past few months, Jace had started working, and he had achieved great success, proving he was indeed Morris’s son.“Why should we do that?” one of the directors spoke out.Adam’s lips parted in a faint smile.

When she was done, she dropped the towel to the floor beside the bed.She lifted his chin, making him stare into her eyes.“You promised not to keep anything away from me,” she told him.Jace stared back.“I’m sorry,” he apologized.Katrina didn’t nod. She pulled his head, letting him rest on her.“You don’t have to deal with it alone. I’m right here,” she said, trying to keep her voice together.His arms wrapped around her back.“I’m sorry,” he said again, his grip tightening.He looked up and locked gazes with her. He found comfort in her eyes. He realized it was wrong of him to push her away.“It hurts so much. I

    Katrina dialed the number again, but it rang with no response. She sent Jace another text and waited anxiously to see if he would respond.

Neither was he picking up or responding to her texts.When she checked the time again and saw that it was past midnight, Katrina decided to call Ray and ask if he knew Jace's whereabouts.Ray picked up almost immediately, his voice cheerful."Is Jace with you?"

    The door opened without a knock, the hospital chairman, Mathias Forest, looked up straight with a frown. Jace walked in, his expression so cold that it made Mathias get up almost immediately. He moved out of his chair to meet him.“I’m here to find out a truth” he said before Mathias could speak to greet him.He paused, staring at him, wondering why he looked so impatient and overly cold. “What is it?”Jace’s jaw tightened, his throat bobbed as he opened his mouth. “Did my father ever conduct a D.N.A test?” Mathias’s face changed swiftly, color drained slightly and he tried to mask his shock but Jace caught it.“D.N.A ?” he asked to lie but it was too late.Jace shut his eyes, trying to process the news, he opened his eyes, looking firm and ready to know the truth. He moved to the desk and Mathias instinctively stepped back.“What did the result say?” he asked quietly.Mathias’s lips parted, no sound came out. “Jace, I don’t think this is something we should discuss so casually.
