“What is the problem, Ezrah?” Lake was disturbed by the reaction. Ezrah needed to rest before all this took a toll on his health.Ezrah went into deep thought. “Rush was arrested at the airport, and the report was made by Zora. Did he hurt her?”He was curious to know how things went between them and how Zora found out about Rush to make the report.“If he had, then she would not have been in your office,” Lake dropped a subtle reminder.Ezrah was relieved for a while, but after checking through the reports on his phone, he remarked again.“Oh, she’s contacted another agency for a new set of bodyguards. Smart move.”He quickly dialed the number of his spy. “You should ensure you are among those bodyguards. I will pay you double if you get a spot among her bodyguards, and I will triple it if you get to be her personal bodyguard in place of Rush.”The offer was enticing but also close to impossible. “It’s not easy because I don’t belong to that agency.”“I don’t care how you do it, but I

Coco heard her bodyguard speaking on the phone when she entered her room after returning from work, feeling exhausted from the day."Well noted. I will instruct them to stay clear of Michelle’s room," the bodyguard said.Coco panicked. She had no idea who the bodyguard was talking to, but if they were to stay clear of Michelle’s room, anyone could enter.Recalling Michelle's desire to replace their bodyguards, it was not difficult to piece everything together.The only person who could give that order was Rush. Even though Michelle had informed her of Rush's arrest, Coco still felt uneasy.After hearing footsteps indicating the bodyguard had retired for the night, she stepped out of her room in flip-flops, making sure to bring her gun with her.Michelle’s room was just opposite hers, and sometimes they even slept in the same bed.Leaning against the door, her suspicions were confirmed when she heard Rush’s voice.Knowing the bodyguards were on his side, she fired a shot before saying,

As the man who caused the greatest pain in her life, Ezrah wanted to give back to Michelle the very things he emotionally took from her. He wanted Michelle’s happiness to only lie with him to ease all the pain he caused her.If she would let him, he would make it up to her by being the perfect husband she wanted. However, if he followed that passion, then there would be no difference between him and Rush. He stared at Michelle, and a blend of emotions flashed in his eyes, though she kept her gaze away from him.“If she says so herself, without being forced and from the depth of her heart that she has fallen for you, I would respect her decision but I will continue to keep an eye on her.” Ezrah’s response was inconclusive, meaning he would not believe it, though he won’t stop her, but would not lose hope. As to how Rush understood it, no one could tell. “Will you get married again? To another woman?”Rush’s question confirmed that he understood what Ezrah said and was forcing him

“What are those conditions? I’m all ears.”Ezrah was slightly amused. The fact that she was willing to accept Landon excited him greatly.Michelle was unable to resist the offer because of how Rush escaped the cops. She might be wealthy but still lacking in connections like Ezrah.“That Landon would be on my payroll and you break all contacts with him.”A puzzled frown creased Ezrah’s brows at the request. “I don’t understand.”Michelle took a deep breath and began to explain, and funny enough, the moment she began doing so, everyone walked slowly out of the room.Only Ezrah remained. He was sure it was Lake’s idea to get everyone out to give him some privacy with Michelle.That best friend of his was so amazing but then, Lake might have also done it to have some time with Coco.That’s, hitting two beds with one stone. Michelle spoke directly.“Ezrah, I won’t allow you to use Landon to spy on me to know my whereabouts and whatnot.”A faint smile crossed Ezrah’s lips. That was exactly

Throughout Sebastian’s stay in her apartment, he never even shook her hand, so this was strange. It was a brief hug, but both parties admitted internally that it felt different.Sebastian pulled away and stared at her, knowing he was going to miss her. The hug was not for him or Madison but rather his subtle message to Lake.“You are a good woman, Madi, please wait for me.” Sebastian turned around and entered the private jet, leaving Madison confused. “What does he mean by that?” Being a man, Lake did not expect his plans of pairing them together to work but could not help feeling that things were going in that direction. If there was anyone to return warmth to Sebastian’s scarred heart, then it was Madison, especially when she had also been deeply hurt before. Lake stared teasingly at her. “Didn’t you tell me to hook you up? I guess my help was not needed. The magnet was faster to attract.” Sebastian was nice. Really nice. He was also very attractive, and her friendship with M
