o play along if she wanted to gather more information. As she entered the mansion, she was greeted by her mother, who was beaming with excitement. "Sara, darling! I'm so glad you're home. Your fathe

hisper. "What are Dad's plans?" Catherine's expression was calm, but Sara could see a hint of concern in her eyes. "Sara, darling, I don't have any plans yet," she said. "But I promise you, I'll figure something out. We'll get through this together, for now just play along please baby." Sara nodded, trying to appear reassured. But inside, she was seething. She knew her mother was hiding something, and she was determined to uncover the truth. "I just want to help, Mom," Sara said, trying to sound innocent. "I want to make sure we're all safe." Catherine smiled and put a hand on Sara's knee. "I know, sweetie. And I appreciate that. But for now, let's just focus on getting through the next few days, okay?" Sara nodded, pretending to agree. But as soon as her mother left the room, she pulled out her phone and sent a text to Joe. "Mom doesn't have a plan yet, but I know she's hiding something," Sara typed. "We need to move forward with our plan ASAP." Joe responded immediately. "Agreed. I've been digging into your dad's business dealings. I think I've found something big." Sara's heart skipped a beat. "What is it?" she asked. "I'll tell you in person," Joe replied. "Meet me at the coffee shop tomorrow at 2 pm." Sara nodded to herself, a plan forming in her mind. She would meet Joe tomorrow, and together, they would uncover the truth about her father's business. And then, they would take him down. But for now, Sara had to keep up the charade. She had to pretend to be the obedient daughter, all while secretly working to bring her father's empire crashing down. It was a delicate balancing act, but Sara was determined to pull it off. She would p

re where their children would be the ones calling the shots, where their family names would be synonymous with power and wealth. "We need to make sure they're prepared to take the reins, though," Reginald said, his expression turning serious. "We can't just hand them the keys to the kingdom without teaching them how to drive." Senator Charles nodded vigorously. "Absolutely. We need to teach them about the importance of hard work, about the value of a dollar, and about the responsibilities that come with wealth and power." Reginald leaned forward, his eyes glinting with intensity. "And we need to make sure they understand the importance of loyalty and discretion. We can't have them running around, spouting off about

"Just dealing with the usual family drama," he said. "My dad's still breathing down my neck, trying to get me to run for office." Alex laughed. "You'll never do it, Johnson," he said. "You're too smart, too talented. You need to follow your path, not the one your dad's laid out for you." Johnson smiled, feeling a surge of gratitude towards Alex. "I know, babe," he said. "I just need to figure out how to tell my dad." Alex's voice was firm. "You don't need to do it alone, Johnson. I'm here for you, always." Johnson's heart swelled with emotion. He knew he was lucky to have found Alex, to have found someone who loved and accepted him for who he was. As they talked, Johnson realized that he had a choice to make. He could continue living a lie, pretending to be the straight, ambitious young man his father wanted him to be. Or he c

husky with desire. Without another word, they began to undress each other, their fingers fumbling with buttons and zippers. They fell onto the bed, a tangled mess of arms and legs. Their lovemaking was intense and passionate, with Johnson taking the lead. He pinned Alex beneath him, their bodies moving in perfect sync. As they made love, the room around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their little world of pleasure and desire. Johnson's hands roamed over Alex's body, exploring every inch of his skin. He kissed Alex's neck, his shoulders, and his chest, his lips leaving a trail of fire in their wake. Alex arched hi

Sara's mind began racing. "We need to get there and see who's attending. This could be our chance to finally expose my dad's corruption." Joe nodded, already typing away on his laptop.

're just grabbing lunch." Catherine's tone turned suspicious. "Sara, I know you're not telling me something. What's going on?" Sara's mind racing, she tried to come up with a convincing explanation. But then, a plan began to form in her mind. "Mom, I need to ask you something," Sara said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Do you know anything about Dad's meeting today?" There was a pause on the

g was intense and passionate, a release of all the emotions they had been holding inside. As they moved together, Sara felt a sense of comfort and security. She knew that no matter what lay ahead, Joe would be by her side. Afterward, they lay in each other's arms, catching their breath. Sara felt a sense of calm wash over her, but it was short-lived. They knew they had to focus on the task at hand. With renewed energy, they began to prepare for the stakeout. They had paid a staff member to provide them with information about the meeting,
