"She's my best friend and I love her," Griffin gulped down a glass of fruit juice.Angie stopped eating and folded her arms to her chest, giving him a quizzical look. "You know what I'm talking about."Griffin found Angie's gaze on him so intense, he couldn't hide it. "Please don't tell her," he finally said.Now it was Angie's turn to feel a twitch in her heart. She thought she had gotten over her feelings for Griffin, only to realise it was just covered, to be uncovered. "Now we are keeping secrets.""Please I don't want you to tell her before I do," Griffin begged her. "How long have you been in love with her?""I don't know. I guess I always have. I just haven't realized it because,""Penelope kept you occupied?""Perhaps. Everything between me and Penelope has been sex. I just realized we didn't have a connection. I couldn't even cry when she left me. I guess I wasn't as pained as when Nathan took Mercedes' first tim

Mercedes had gotten used to Nathan purchasing everything she wore therefore, she wasn't surprised they were delivered but what she didn't expect was Griffin sending her a parcel for the occasion as well. His message was simple. 'You've done this for me for as long as I can remember. Please wear this to make me happy tonight.' Her mind was plagued with confusion. Griffin had sent an outfit for Angie as well therefore, it was just natural for Angie to insist that she wore the dress Griffin got her. However, Mercedes knew that Nathan would be displeased. She hadn't seen Griffin in a while and still had the friendship bond with him. She bought him so many clothes and he was just returning a favour. Well, Mercedes hatched a master plan with Angie's help. Life was full of so many incidences but it was also believed, that there was nothing like a coincidence. Everything was already pre-programmed and whatever will be will be. It wasn't a shocker that the qualifying companie

Mercedes felt triumphant, as she sat in her car and drove to the penthouse. Griffin and Angie were still sleeping but her presence woke them. "Where did you go?" Griffin asked, seeing her dressed casually with her car key in hand. "To see Nathan," she said truthfully. Griffin was furious. "After all, he did to you?" He didn't hide the anger in his voice but was amazed when he heard her next words. "I ended things with him. Here," she pressed the dollar note into Griffin's palm. Both Griffin and Angie were shocked. Nathan Legend let her go without any conditions. Perhaps he would accept and marry Jane after all. "So you'll return the car and we have to move out of here?" Angie asked. Mercedes hadn't thought about that. She was so hasty. If she pulled out of the deal, then she should naturally return his gifts, right? Thinking through everything was so exhausting. "I will return it but not today. I need to sleep." She sat on the bed when Griffin

Mercedes' mending of her affair with Nathan seemed like a breakthrough to him. He needed to take care of a few things in NL Towers but with his father and Luke being around, he couldn't leave things in the hands of either of them. He couldn't also represent both companies. Whereas, e could leave Mercedes to be his eyes and ears in Legend Incorporated but how could he leave her with a ravenous wolf like Luke?His move during the dinner told Nathan that his warning didn't sit well with him, which left him with the hard choice of making Mercedes travel alone to NL Towers. He trusted her enough to handle his company anyway. Besides, she was soon going to be co-owner so she had to handle it like it's hers.The last time they were there together, her suggestions were great. Mercedes agreed wholeheartedly on the condition that she was allowed to spend two days with her mum and brother which Nathan agreed to.Well, the greatest fear for Nathan sending her a

"What is that?" Nathan asked seriously. If it was within his power, he would fulfil her promise. "Make sure he rots in prison for all he put me through. When he found out I was pregnant, he started acting all nice, when in actual fact, every drink he gave me was spiked with something to make me miscarry. Please let him pay. One more thing. It was the same means they used to make Sarah miscarry, thrice till she got tired and got her tubes tied. He works well with Betty." Nathan was horrified at the revelation. His father had been drinking and dining with enemies he thought were his friends but he couldn't feel pity for his dad. Rather, he felt sorry for Clarisse and Sarah. He would make Luke and Betty pay. "Thanks for telling me. I will still do as I want for you to be comfortable," he said and left. He was broken by the time he got back to the penthouse and it was getting late but he drove them to the mansion he had arranged. Having Sarah with him proved wort
