Michelle was finishing up a business discussion with a client at a café near her office when the man placed his hand on hers.“Michelle, what about the last thing I told you? This collaboration would be even greater if we were a couple.”Rush was ready to peel the man’s hand off Michelle's when Ezrah stood at the entrance. The air around him changed the atmosphere in the café as he said something on the phone and walked to sit in front of a woman in a corner.Judging from her appearance and outfit, it was a business meeting as well. That was what this particular café was meant for, but no matter how Ezrah tried, his gaze could not leave Michelle’s table and the man in front of her.He was Jordan Blake, the CEO of Jordan White Enterprise, in charge of an event planning company. Ezrah knew him because the Gannons insured his company.Strangely, the atmosphere in the café changed dramatically, and Michelle felt uncomfortable with Ezrah’s unwavering gaze on her. They had not exchanged a

Madison swam to where Michelle kept the wine-filled glasses, picked up one and took a sip. Michelle and Coco swam to her side, but they all remained in the warm water.“Michelle, Ezrah hurt you so bad. I think he should be the one to heal your wounds.”The expression on Michelle’s face turned grim with Madison’s words. “That would never happen, and I’m beginning to believe that he indeed sent you here.”Madison knew when to stop. All she wanted was for Michelle to find the happiness she deserved, which she had not found all these years.“He didn’t, but I won’t say anymore. I’m only concerned about why you have not moved on. You can’t mourn your late unborn child forever, Michelle. Give life a chance.”Michelle knew she had been trapped in the loss of her child, but moving on with Ezrah or any other man was not an option.She loved too hard, and it broke her so bad. “I’m happy with the way my life is. I don’t want any changes done to it.”“You won’t give your parents a grandchild?” Mad

The next day at Michelle’s penthouse, three women were sleeping on the same bed.After eating, drinking, talking, and dancing the night before, they ended up tired and fell asleep on Michelle’s king-size bed.Madison was the first to wake up due to her ringing phone. “Hello,” she responded in a sleepy voice, a male voice sounded on the other end of the line.“Are you even coming home? I miss your breakfast,” it sounded like Sebastian was nagging.If he wanted to live by himself, he would have gone to a hotel and not Madison’s house.It had been boring since he got there because she had almost always not been around.“Seb?” Madison thought she was hearing things wrong to hear him nag.“Yeah, who else could it be?” Sebastian asked with a blend of sarcasm and humor. Madison had no plans of going home early.“Sorry. I was thinking of passing by Lake’s house to return his car.”Sebastian sounded saddened on the other end of the line. Being the weekend, there were no emails or office work fo

Ezrah had seen the guy when Lake was busy raining punches on the one on the floor.Without a thought, he sheltered Lake with his body, and the bullet pierced through his shoulder. The closeness allowed him to kick the guy in the stomach. The gun fell as he groaned from pain when more knee kicks flooded his stomach. The first guy was also reaching for his gun from where it fell a distance away, and seeing that both Ezrah and Lake were busy, Madison could only kick the gun further away.The sound of police sirens was soon heard, followed by Madison’s car. Sebastian had ransacked her room for her car keys after calling the cops.Already knowing Lake’s house, he was headed there when he stumbled upon the action. Lake pulled the wristwatch from the guy’s wrist before the police apprehended them.“Are you guys alright?” Sebastian asked before his eyes narrowed to Ezrah’s stained shirt. “Ezrah, you are bleeding.” Sebastian was genuinely concerned. Madison hastened to Ezrah’s side, but he

The revelation brought a sudden silence to the room. Ezrah couldn't shake the feeling that Odette might truly be Michelle's twin sister.The way they both resorted to faking their deaths to resolve their relationship issues seemed to be ingrained in their DNA.Mr. Newman continued his explanation. "Rush nearly lost his mind when he believed Odette was dead."Sebastian interjected, "That still doesn't justify keeping him close to Michelle.”How could he live with himself if something happened to Madison?The recommendation likely came from his father, but Sebastian was troubled by the kindness Madison had shown him.She was a good woman who didn't deserve to be caught up in their relationship drama.Mr. Newman ignored the interruption and continued to explain. "When Rush saw Michelle on screen for the first time, he regained his composure and sought ways to be near her."As he spoke, Esther’s voice was heard from the background. “Grandpa, come and play.”"She's a pretty doll.
