CHAPTER 91

Marie Sue I sat in the office, and the paper in my hand trembled, not from fright. I was not afraid. What I felt was far from fear, and that was what had pushed me right now into this office, with the paper in my hand, ready to make this decision.I read each line of the contract again to be sure I wasn't falling into a trap. Everything seemed fine, except for a few things I was not comfortable with.I looked up at Mr. Xing and the other man who sat beside him.“I have one thing I would like to modify,” I said.The lawyer looked at Mr. Xing and then at me.“What could that be?” he asked.I dropped the paper on the desk to stop it from shaking in my hands the way it was. I folded my fingers into each other and placed my folded hands on the desk. Then I looked straight at the lawyer.“My product remains mine,” I said. “Even if I work for the company and my product is being used, it remains mine.”The lawyer was about to speak, but Mr. Xing raised his hand and stopped him.“That is fine

CHAPTER 91

KylieFinding out that Lara knew about the illegitimacy of my son kept me more up at night than the fact that Steven was lying in bed unconscious. Because Lara knowing the truth meant everything I was fighting for could be in vain.If she decided to go public with this information she had, then it might be over for me and my son, and she could easily convince Arnold to kick us out and take in another wife.More importantly, I was concerned that if Arnold found out that I had lied about his fertility results, he would have more reason to kick me out.I turned on the narrow bed to the other side and groaned loudly. I had a sore on my lip from biting it repeatedly.I had to think fast and act fast. Steven was at a critical point in his life where he needed absolute care. This was not the time for the truth to come out.There was not a time ever for the truth to come out, and I didn't mind killing to ensure that my son's real identity remained hidden.For now, I've been able to secure a p

CHAPTER 93

JordanI called her number once again and got the same response. The line was switched off.I leaned back in my chair, feeling uncomfortable about the situation. It was barely midday, and Marie's number was switched off. I tapped my finger restlessly on the desk as I decided on what to do.I could have easily driven back home to check up on her and ensure she was fine, but I was expecting the legal team and Lizzie in a very important meeting shortly.I pushed my chair backwards and walked out of the office to the small cubicle where Lucy occupied. She rose up as I stood at the entrance."Have you heard from Marie all day?" I asked her.She shook her head. "No, not since last night. I didn't spend the night at the house."I nodded. "Could you try calling her? I've not been able to reach her.""Sure," she said.She picked up her phone, and a few seconds later, the voice of the operator saying the number was switched off filled the space between us."I've been getting the same response a

CHAPTER 94

Jordan“Where are you, Marie?” I asked. I knew something was wrong, and my gut had not lied to me.“Are you at home?”“Not now, Jordan,” she replied, and the call dropped.I stared at the phone for a few seconds before I hurried the driver to drive back to the house. I stood in front of her door and knocked on it impatiently.“Marie,” I called out.There was no answer. I knocked again, and then I heard movement within the house.“Please open up. I need to talk to you about it urgently.”The door finally opened, and she stood in front of me, looking down and dejected. Her hands were on her hips.I stood in front of her, and suddenly, my throat felt dry. I didn't know the right words to say.“I'm sorry you had to find out that way, Marie, but I promise you, it's not what you're thinking at all. Can I come in?”She looked at me for a short while, then angled her body away for me to slip through the doorway.I walked into the apartment, and then she closed the door behind her and walked i
