MIRANDA Just as my mother-in-law asked me that question, Kyle, who had arrived separately, showed up. I turned and we both stared at each other before I looked away. "Let's go in first, Mom. We came here early so we could have the advantage. It's not good for us to talk outside." My mother-in-law nodded and we all went in. There were no shareholders there yet because we still had about twenty minutes to go before the meeting began. As we sat down, I asked Mel to make arrangements for some of the things I would need during the meeting. And she went to the projector, turned on the laptop she had carried along, and fixed everything. My mother-in-law who sat beside me was still waiting for me. So I turned and said, "Mom, don't listen to rumors, okay? I will never betray Hazel. Hazel knows this and you should too." "Liar!" Florence yelled as she walked into the room, but she was not alone. Behind her were Collins and Shayla. They all came in and sat down. And Florence said, "Mom,

After Shayla had planted all the cameras in the different positions she had discussed with Miranda and Hazel, she called Valor and told him about it and he smiled, "Good job." After the call ended, Shayla texted Miranda telling her about the cameras and Miranda smiled, "Well, it's about time." Turning to Hazel, she said, "Collins is already waiting in his car. He can't come out until it's time for us to act. So sleep and enjoy yourself while I go out on a stroll." According to the arrangement, Miranda came out just as Shayla was leaving with her luggage and they had an altercation where they exchanged words. Both Miranda and Shayla acted so well because they knew that Valor was watching. Afterward, Miranda went out and began to stroll while Collins came from behind her just as they had planned. After Hazel came and punched him and took Miranda away, she smiled. "Impressive," she thought. She didn't know Collins could be such a good actor. After they went inside, Collins made

MIRANDAA wide smile stayed on my lips as I walked toward Hazel, arm-in-arm with Terrence because my dad hadn't recovered fully to be able to walk me.In a black tuxedo, Hazel looked hot and attractive while his gaze focused on me, waiting for me to get to him.We had everything planned out, including our honeymoon and I was more than excited to experience every single moment with the love of my life.The days before the wedding had been hectic but exciting. Probably because I was pregnant, I easily got exhausted, but Hazel was by my side all through, making sure I wasn't pushing myself too hard.He had agreed for us to hold a press conference because a lot of people still had a lot to say about his wife who supposedly cheated on him with his attorney while he was in a coma.Hazel explained that he was Kyle and we were merely acting. It was touching, to see him explain himself to the public; something he had never done before.Nevertheless, it had a positive effect as netizens trooped

MEL I charged toward Jude who was pointing a sharp knife at me and kicked his hand. The knife fell off his hand and he staggered backward, pushing Riley who was standing behind him to the ground. I jumped on him, pushing him to the ground as well. Anger rippled through me as I sat on his body and threw punches at his face without mercy. Riley got up and climbed on the bed. She jumped off of it and opened the door to run outside. However, I let go of Jude whose mouth had started bleeding, and ran after her. I caught her just before she got to the exit door and pulled her back by her hair. Pinning her against the wall, I slapped both sides of her face repeatedly until it turned completely red. Tears streamed down her face as she cried, "Please stop, I'm sorry." However, my anger had gotten the better of me and her apology only served to infuriate me further. I pushed her to the ground, just as I had done to Jude, and sat on her body, throwing punches at her as I asked, "Who

MEL"Did you just ask me to marry you?" I asked Simon as I tried to get off the bed."Don't go getting all worked up now," he replied, getting to his feet. "I'll keep my distance if it makes you uncomfortable but we can both come to an agreement."Seeing that he had gotten off the bed, I folded my arms, stared at him, and scoffed, "Do you think I'm a fool? What does marrying you have to do with getting revenge on Jude and Riley?""Jude's mother is my sister and that means he is my nephew," he stated and once again, my eyes widened in surprise.In all the years I dated Jude, he never once told me he had an uncle. He made me believe his mother was an only child, greatly loved by his grandfather.The information I had received about Simon did not show that he had a sibling, so I became even more suspicious."You're Jude's uncle?" I asked, my suspicion obvious.He sighed, "I know how this seems, but unless you dig deeper, you won't find any connection between us. At the very least, you ca
