As Jace and Marvis's bond grew stronger, Tracey, consumed by jealousy and resentment, decided to confront Marvis, determined to put an end to their happiness once and for all."You think you can just waltz in here and steal everything that's rightfully mine, Marvis?" Tracey spat, her voice dripping with venom.Marvis remained calm, her gaze steady as she faced Tracey's wrath. "I'm not trying to steal anything, Tracey. Jace and I love each other, and there's nothing you can do to change that."Tracey's eyes flashed with anger as she took a step closer to Marvis, her fists clenched at her sides. "You're nothing but a gold digger, Marvis. You don't belong here, and you never will."Marvis refused to back down, her resolve unshaken by Tracey's accusations. "I love Jace with all my heart, Tracey. And I won't let you or anyone else come between us."But Tracey was relentless, her words fueled by envy and bitterness. "You may have Jace fooled, but I see right through you, Marvis. You're just

:As Jace and Marvis navigated the turbulent waters of their relationship, they were blindsided by an unexpected twist that threatened to unravel everything they had fought so hard to build.One evening, as they sat together in quiet contemplation, a knock sounded at the door, breaking the silence and sending a shiver of apprehension down their spines.Jace rose to answer it, his heart pounding in his chest as he wondered who could be calling at such a late hour. But nothing could have prepared him for the sight that greeted him on the other side.Standing in the doorway, her eyes filled with tears and her hands trembling was a woman they had never expected to see again: Marvis's long-lost mother."Marvis..." she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper as she reached out a trembling hand towards her daughter.Marvis's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she took in the sight of her mother standing before her, her mind struggling to comprehend the reality of the moment."Mama...

As the negotiation dragged on, tensions began to simmer beneath the surface, threatening to erupt into open hostility at any moment.Anderson's mother, her eyes filled with malice, leaned forward, her voice dripping with venom as she addressed Jace and his companions."You think you can talk your way out of this, Jace? You think you can just waltz in here and expect us to forgive and forget?" she sneered, her tone laced with contempt.Jace's jaw clenched with frustration, but he forced himself to remain calm, knowing that giving in to anger would only escalate the situation further."We're not asking for forgiveness, just understanding," he replied evenly, his voice tinged with a hint of defiance. "We all have grievances, but resorting to violence won't solve anything."But Anderson's mother was not so easily swayed, her hostility burning like a flame as she continued to press her agenda."You're nothing but a thorn in our side, Jace," she spat her words like knives slicing through th

As the tension in the room thickened, a new presence entered the fray, casting a shadow of doubt and suspicion over the already fraught atmosphere.Charlotte Manson, Jace's ex-girlfriend, sauntered into the room with a confident smirk, her eyes gleaming with malice as she surveyed the scene before her."Well, well, well, what do we have here?" she purred, her voice dripping with venom as she locked eyes with Jace and Marvis. "It seems I've stumbled upon quite a little drama."Jace's heart sank as he caught sight of Charlotte, his past with her a painful reminder of the betrayals he had endured. But he refused to let her presence intimidate him, steeling himself for whatever venom she might spew.Marvis bristled at the sight of Charlotte, her suspicions confirmed by the woman's smug expression. She knew that Charlotte had always harbored resentment towards her and Jace, and she wouldn't put it past her to join forces with Anderson and his mother to wreak havoc on their lives."What are

With no time to spare, Jace and Marvis braced themselves for the inevitable confrontation, knowing that their enemies would stop at nothing to destroy them.But as the door swung open and their adversaries burst into the room, they were met with an unexpected sight.Standing before them was Liam Sullivan, Jace's grandfather, his expression grave as he surveyed the scene before him."What's going on here?" he demanded, his voice cutting through the tension like a knife. "And why are you all acting like a pack of wild animals?"As the shock of Liam's sudden appearance washed over them, Jace and Marvis exchanged incredulous glances, unable to believe their luck.But their relief was short-lived, as Anderson's mother stepped forward, a dangerous glint in her eye as she prepared to launch into another tirade."We were just... discussing some family matters," she stammered, her voice faltering for the first time in the face of Liam's imposing presence. "Nothing for you to concern yourself w
