All Chapters of Love I tried to Hide: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Unable to focus on work, Lemar asked his secretary to reschedule all his appointments and left the office. He was heading home to face his parents.He knew they wouldn’t be pleased to see him show up in the middle of the day, especially if it was to defend Tyrra without proof of her innocence. Still, this had to be done. She was not guilty, and he wasn’t about to let her suffer for something she didn’t do.When he arrived, he found his mother in the living room. After greeting her, he glanced around. “Where’s Dad?”“In his study. Is something wrong? Why are you here in the middle of a workday?” she asked curiously.“I need to speak with both of you,” Lemar said.She nodded and led the way toward the study, then glanced at him. “Did you know that shameless girl from Empowered is the same one your cousin was supposed to marry?”Lemar froze. “How did you know?”

Tyrra’s breath caught in her throat. Outside her house? Not her office? Perhaps she had misheard. Her eyes darted to the window, mind racing.“You can’t see me. I’ve left the office,” she said, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to convince herself she’d heard wrong.“I’m aware of that. I’m right outside your house, not your office,” Lemar replied, a hint of urgency threading his tone. “I need to talk to you. Please come out, or I’ll come to your door. The only reason I haven’t is because I promised not to barge in. Consider this a courtesy.”Tyrra’s heart pounded. How did he know where she was staying? Why was he here? What about Samantha? What if he saw her? What should she do now? She couldn’t let him inside, or even stay outside long. The last thing she wanted was for Lemar to see Samantha.“I’ll be right outside. Give me a moment,”

After work, instead of heading home, Flavier decided to visit Lemar’s parents to check on them and ensure everything was still going according to plan.He arrived at the Domino family mansion and was, as usual, greeted warmly by Lemar’s parents in the living room.“Did you come straight from the company?” Lemar’s mom asked, noticing the files in his hands.“Yes, Aunt. I wanted to see how you’re feeling,” Flavier said, frowning with concern, his voice carefully sincere.“You work too hard, Flavier. It’s well past two hours after closing,” she said. Flavier waved her off.“It’s nothing, Aunt. I had some work left, so I stayed back. How are you both?” he asked, looking between her and her husband.“We’re fine, dear. It’s good to see you doing well at helping Lemar in the company. We’re proud,” Mr. Domino said, and his wife nodded in

The next day, Lemar arrived at his office earlier than usual, his mind focused on a single objective: installing a security camera.Flavier’s behavior the night before had been telling. His eagerness to know why Lemar believed Tyrra wasn’t behind the scandal made it clear that he assumed Lemar hadn’t discovered the bug yet. Lemar was certain that now Flavier had succeeded in turning him away from Tyrra, he would soon return to remove the bug and erase all evidence of foul play.He couldn’t let that happen. He needed definitive proof, proof he could present to his parents without question, the kind that would make Flavier’s treachery undeniable. His conversation with Flavier the previous night had confirmed Tyrra’s suspicions: Flavier and Grace were up to something. If he could show his parents what they were planning, the whole picture would fall into place.As soon as he entered his office, Lemar temporarily deactivated the b

Grace wore a satisfied smile as she drove toward the Golden Lotus Restaurant, where she was meeting Mrs. Domino for lunch. Flavier had arranged the meeting, now that Mrs. Domino had decided Grace would be her daughter-in-law.She still could hardly believe their plan was finally falling into place. Soon, she would be married to Lemar Domino, just as she and Flavier had plotted.But as thoughts of their scheme crossed her mind, her smile faltered and was replaced by a scowl. Their attempt to have Tyrra fired had failed. Lemar seemed to trust Tyrra more than they had anticipated and was actively seeking ways to prove her innocence.The fact that Tyrra was still in the picture, aware of her and Flavier’s relationship, made Grace uneasy. They had agreed to keep their communications to phone calls, but Tyrra remained a threat, one that could expose them and ruin everything.How could she get rid of Tyrra? Grace wondered, her mind racing. She prided herse
