Phoebe pulled into the compound, parking her car haphazardly on the wrong side, deliberately blocking Archie's vehicle. She climbed out of the car and stormed towards the house, her anger evident in every step. Arabella emerged from the house, a welcoming smile spreading across her face as she caught sight of Phoebe's approach. "How–" she began, attempting to initiate a conversation as Phoebe drew near, but Phoebe brushed past her without a word. Phoebe yanked open the door and slammed it shut behind her, the sudden noise making Arabella jump back in shock.Arabella's face twisted in distaste, as if she'd tasted something bitter. "What's wrong with her?" She muttered. She shrugged her shoulders in indifference. "Her problem." She said, before turning to walk towards her car in the parking lot. Meanwhile, Phoebe's voice echoed through the house. "Archie!" She called out, her tone shrill with urgency. She flung her bag onto the sofa and stormed upstairs, her footsteps heavy with ange

Reginald's words kept echoing in Dominic's mind as he left his office and got into his car, driving back home, lost in thought. His concern for Rosie's well-being weighed heavily on him, and a part of his mind cautioned against going through with the plan he had carefully laid out with Reginald. As he pondered the future and questioned Rosie's feelings for him, the darker side of his mind seemed to gain the upper hand, urging him to push forward. His frustration boiled over, and he vented his anger on the clutch pedal, pushing it harder than necessary. The steering wheel jerked in his hands, and the car surged forward, picking up speed as it hurtled down the main road.He slammed on the brakes, but it didn't respond. His eyes widened in terror, his mouth hanging open as he watched helplessly as his car hurtled towards an oncoming truck, speeding down the road. In a last-ditch effort, he tried the brake again, and to his surprise, it suddenly kicked in. The car screeched to a halt me

Rosie's mind was elsewhere, still reeling from the morning's events. She struggled to focus on work, her thoughts consumed by the sudden change in Dominic's behavior. What could have caused him to become so distant and cold overnight? The questions swirled in her head, but she couldn't find any answers. Her distraction was palpable, and her usual sharp focus was nowhere to be found. Just then, Hannah walked in, and Rosie's gaze turned towards the entrance. "Did Dominic send you to me?" She asked, her voice tinged with hope. Hannah nodded, her steps purposeful as she approached Rosie's desk. "Yes," she replied, her single word enough to bring a smile to Rosie's face. Rosie stood up, her excitement evident. "Is he calm now?"Hannah didn't respond until she reached the desk, placing a file on the table. "He asked me to give this to you," she said, her tone neutral. "He's already signed it, so you need to sign it too."Rosie let out a soft sigh, her body slumping back into her chair a

Phoebe stepped out of a cab, dressed in a sleek black short gown, her head and half her face shrouded in a black veil. She paid the driver with cash and glanced around nervously before hurrying into the ground floor of Maximo Company. As she entered, she swiftly removed the veil from her face and approached a female staff member exiting the elevator. "Good day." She greeted, her voice smooth. The staff member, Davina, nodded slightly. "Good day, ma'am," she replied, asking, "how can I help you, please?" "I'm here to see Chairman Reginald." Phoebe stated. "Can you lead me to his office, please?" Davina's gaze swept over Phoebe, her expression confused. Phoebe understood the unspoken question, so she removed her sunglasses, introducing herself. "It's me, Phoebe. The wife of Moore Archie." Davina's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly bowed her head. "Oh! I apologize, ma'am," she said, her tone apologetic. "Follow me, please." She said. *** "This is an august visitor. Seeing

Rosie entered the boardroom, accompanied by Hannah, and the directors' gazes converged on her. She made her way to her seat, and all the directors, except Reginald, stood up and bowed their heads in respect. Rosie nodded slightly in return and took her seat. The directors followed suit, settling into their chairs. Her eyes drifted to Dominic's empty seat, and she glanced over her shoulder, her gaze meeting Hannah. She furrowed her brow, her expression questioning, and subtly beckoned Hannah closer. Hannah leaned in closer to Rosie, her ear near Rosie's lips. "Where is Dominic? "I don't know, ma'am," Hannahreplied, her voice barely above a whisper. "He left the office to take a call and hasn't returned since then." Rosie's concern was evident in her voice and on her face. "Doesn't he know it's time for the meeting?" She asked, her brow furrowed with worry. "Have you checked around?""No, ma'am," Hannahreplied. "But he should be somewhere in the company. I saw him head to the groun
