The news about Dominic's ex-wife filing for child support had sent ripples across the internet and news outlets, leaving a trail of whispers and speculations in its wake. Reporters eagerly tried to get in touch with Dominic, and his phone rang incessantly. It was a situation that had no immediate remedy.
"We've tried reaching out to Mr. Dominic, the CEO of News Hub Plus, but there has been no response so far. We need his side of the story," one reporter said on live news.
"The public is eager to hear from the News Hub Plus CEO about these allegations. He must clarify the situation," another reporter stated.
Dominic's ex-wife had remained quiet about the matter, and the lack of an official statement from Dominic's side was causing the story to escalate. The situation was clearly taking a toll on his reputation.
While all this unfolded, the news also reached Mallory and Harris, who couldn't help but discuss the matter. "Have you seen the news about Dominic?"
Mallory nodded sadly. Her astonishment upon hearing the news about Dominic's failure to pay child support was evident. It was one more layer peeled back from the complex personality of the News Hub Plus CEO. 
"Yes, it's everywhere. I hope he handles it responsibly. I can't believe he would do that to his own children. It's unthinkable."
Harris had anticipated her reaction. He had been on a mission to unveil the truth about Dominic, and this was only the tip of the iceberg.
"Mally, this is just the start. Dominic is not the person everyone thinks he is. There's more hidden beneath the surface, things that need to be brought to light."
Mallory's eyes held a mixture of surprise and concern. She had known Dominic as a powerful and influential figure in the media world, but this revelation was shedding a different light on his character. "Harris, what are you going to do?" Mallory asked in confusion.
"I've been gathering evidence. I'll expose the truth about him, not just for us but for all the people who might be affected by his actions." 
Harris was resolute, his determination unwavering. He had a clear goal in mind, and he was ready to take on the challenge. After everything Dominic did to him and his family, he wouldn't let him destroy their peace again.
"Be careful, Harris. This could get messy."
"Baby, I will. You don't have to worry about me," Harris said, placing a gentle kiss on Mallory's forehead. "I have trusted the people working with me. It's time for the world to see who Dominic really is."
"You're right! And I hope he sorts things out soon. I feel sorry for her ex-wife and children."
"Indeed. It's essential for everyone involved," Harris said, but with a hint of doubt after everything he found out about Dominic's financial status. 
The situation was a stark reminder that personal matters often had a way of spilling into the public eye, bringing unexpected consequences. Mallory could only hope for a peaceful resolution for all parties involved.
As they discussed the impending revelations about Dominic, Mallory couldn't help but worry about the potential consequences. The storm was brewing, and they were standing at the heart of it, ready to face whatever came their way.
Dominic's absence from his child's life, both emotionally and financially, was being scrutinized. As the headlines continued to trend, the situation became more complex.
Meanwhile, reporters gathered outside the News Hub Plus office, hoping to get a statement from the CEO himself. Dominic was aware that he couldn't avoid the issue, and he decided to address it head-on. He called his public relations team and arranged a press conference for the next day.
"I know there have been some recent reports about my personal life. I want to be clear that I take my responsibilities seriously, including those as a father," Dominic began.
The room was filled with reporters eager to hear his side of the story. Dominic continued, looking composed but with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"I've been dealing with some personal challenges, but I acknowledge that it's not an excuse. My child deserves my support, and I'm committed to making things right."
There was a mixture of curiosity and understanding among the reporters. They began to ask questions, wanting to know more about his plans and how he intended to rectify the situation.
"Mr. News Hub Plus, how do you plan to address the child support issue moving forward?" One reporter asked.
"I've already initiated contact with my ex-wife to discuss providing the necessary financial support. We're working through the details with the best interests of our child in mind."
"Can you explain the reasons for the missed payments?"
"I'd rather not go into the specifics of my personal life. What's important is that I'm committed to making amends and fulfilling my responsibilities."
As Dominic answered the reporters' questions, it was evident that he was navigating a difficult situation, but he was determined to set things right. His willingness to confront the issue head-on garnered some respect from the media.
Meanwhile, the public watched closely, forming their opinions on the matter. Dominic knew that he had to balance his personal life with his public image, and this was just one of the challenges he had to face as a high-profile CEO. 
After discussing the current news, Harris and Mallory continued with their daily routine as usual. Harris in his office, working tirelessly on their chain of hotels and the current business merger with Steele Enterprises. The merger was successful, and the talks of him being removed as chairman had stopped after Coleman and Cooper were voted out as board members. Thompson Group is stronger than ever, which is something Harris is proud of.
Mallory, on the other hand, focuses on her growing business, Scented Whisper, which is constantly getting more and more valuable customers every single day.
Their day went on normally until one of their house helpers knocked on Mallory's door. Betty was catching her breath as she faced Mallory. "Miss Mallory, this is important."
"Hurry up, Betty, say it. I still need to work overtime."
"Miss Mallory, Harriet is missing."
The news that someone had taken Harriet from school sent shockwaves through Harris and Mallory. Panic and fear gripped them as they desperately searched for their beloved daughter.
It was their family driver who found out that someone had picked up Harriet ahead of him. Mallory hadn't been to Harriet's school for a while since she was busy managing 'Scented Whisper.'
"How could this happen? Who would dare take Harriet from her school?" Mallory asked in tears.
Harris, equally frantic, was already on the phone with the school authorities, demanding answers. He went home immediately after hearing the news from Mallory. "This is unbelievable. Harriet is missing, and they need to find her now."
While the school staff assured them they would do everything in their power to locate Harriet, the two parents couldn't contain their anxiety. They clung to each other, their faces etched with worry, unsure of where to turn next.
"We have to find her, Harris. We have to find our daughter."
"I know, baby. We will. I won't rest until she's back with us. I have contacted all the people who could help us bring Harriet back as soon as possible." Harris wiped Mallopry's tears and then wrapped his arms around her for a comforting hug. "I will bring Harriet back, I promise." He placed a soothing kiss on Mallory's forehead.
The minutes seemed like hours, and the uncertainty of Harriet's whereabouts gnawed at their hearts. They realized that their world had been thrown into turmoil, and they were willing to do whatever it took to bring their daughter back home safely.
