Rhea's Pov

“I'll be letting go of a few people right here and right now.” I announced with a closed eye smile. My words landed like thunder, cracking across the smooth surface of their arrogance. The air in the boardroom shifted.

It started with the usual, the murmurs, the scoffs, the huffed laughter of those who thought I was bluffing. That I was playing dress-up in my father’s empire. That I didn’t have the teeth to bite.

They were wrong.

“Letting go of people?” Mr. Dennis scoffed, his voice dripping with disbelief, “And what right do you think you have to make such calls?”

Mr Rutherford started, “Miss Thorne, you are new here so you may not know. Most of the employees you're seeing here are employees who have been working in this company a few years or even months after it was created. We are all old here, so there's no way that…”

“I’m the CEO.” I answered, my voice sharp but calm, like the edge of a scalpel, “And with full authority granted by the board’s emergency cl

    Rhea's Pov The words hung in the air like a blade suspended above my head. I blinked at Ginny, my head was trying to wrap itself around the words Ginny uttered a few seconds ago. I wasn't Howard's biological daughter? How? “Shut your mouth, Ginny!” Rachel snapped suddenly, her voice cracking like a whip. Her entire body shook as she pointed a trembling finger at Ginny, “You’ve said enough! Not another word from you!”But Ginny only leaned back against her pillow, her laughter bubbling up again, wild, mocking, relentless, “Oh? Why so desperate, Rachel? Why so quick to silence me? If you have nothing to hide, then why are you so scared?”“SHUT UP!” Rachel screamed this time, her voice raw, breaking under the weight of panic. She looked like a cornered animal, thrashing against invisible chains.But Ginny ignored her. She tilted her head slowly, her eyes gleaming like a predator savoring its kill, then turned back to me.“Rhea.” She said, drawing out my name like it was poison on her t

    Rhea's Pov The room had gone utterly silent, save for Ginny’s ragged breathing. Her hair was wild, sticking to her tear-streaked face. Her eyes darted between Rachel, Howard, and Jason, but there was no shame there anymore, only raw, naked frenzy.Ginny’s voice cracked through the silence like thunder, “I lived in hell! Do you hear me? Do you know what it’s like to watch other children eat good food while you can only eat one food for three whole days? To wear clothes that stank of other people’s sweat? Do you know what it’s like to watch your mother clean up filth for the rich while you starve in the shadows? Everyone in that place insulted me. They called me poor, they said I was going to live in that little house forever with no hope of rising to the sky.” Ginny's voice went higher and higher the more she spoke, her hands gesturing about wildly. Then she raised her head up and stared squarely at me, the white of her eyes were completely bloodshot. “And then…” Ginny laughed, a sh

    Ginny's Pov “Ginny…” Rachel’s voice cracked, brittle and uncertain. She stepped closer, her gaze burning holes into me, “Tell me the truth. Did you know about all of this? Did you have any idea that you are Howard's biological daughter? I'm willing to believe you. I'm willing to let go of everything said here if you tell me that you had no idea. Okay?” I shook my head frantically, but my body betrayed me, my silence, my trembling hands, my tears. I couldn't say anything in response to Rachel's question, and that indirectly meant I admitted to everything. Rhea’s laughter sliced through me like glass, “See? She can’t even deny it properly.” Rhea tilted her head, her smile widening like a predator circling its prey, “She knew all along. She knew she was born of filth, and instead of embracing it, she wrapped herself in silks and pearls, pretending. All this time, she’s lived a lie. A rich daughter?” Her laughter grew louder, mocking, “More like a desperate fraud.”Rachel gasped, her i

    Ginny's Pov Howard was quiet, his eyes were darting around like he was looking for some sort of escape. Then he suddenly stood up and turned around, walking towards the door. However, his intention of leaving was thwarted when the doors to the ward opened and Rhea stepped in. She was sitting on a wheelchair, Fiona pushing her wheelchair. Rhea had an amused smirk on her face, her brows raised as if she was enjoying the show. “I heard an interesting piece of news from outside while I was going on a stroll and I couldn't help but come in to hear everything that's being said. You don't mind, right?” She asked, tilting her head to the left.Rhea’s voice slithered through the room like smoke which was suffocating and poisonous. My stomach churned the moment her smug tone reached my ears. Fiona wheeled her further in, and she parked herself right between Howard and the door, effectively cutting off his escape.Howard’s jaw tightened, his fists clenching at his sides, “You have no place he

    Ginny's Pov Rachel was the first to speak. Her hand shot out, gripping Jason by the arm, “What are you saying, Jason?” She demanded, her voice trembling despite the anger she tried to muster. Her eyes darted between Howard and Jason, desperate, searching for something to hold on to, “Ginny… Ginny is the daughter of our former driver. Do you not remember? He died in that car accident, he gave his life to save Howard. That was the reason we adopted her in the first place. Ginny can’t…” Her voice cracked, “She can’t be Howard’s daughter.”Rachel was trying to keep the nervousness away from her voice, trying to sound sure but I could tell, she was losing it. Knowing Rachel, she should have argued with everything that I wasn't Howard's child so why was she quickly breaking down now? Jason looked down at her hand gripping his arm and let out a laugh that was cold, mocking, the sound sending chills up my spine. He peeled her hand away from him as though her touch burned.“Why don’t you let

    Ginny's Pov “J… Jason?!” I exclaimed, gaping at Jason. Ever since the day Kevin's mother died and he stormed off, I hadn't seen him. He didn't take any of his stuff when he left the house so we all thought he would come back and was just throwing some sort of tantrum. However, it's been almost two weeks, and there was no sight of him. Coupled with everything that has been happening lately, he didn't think of even showing his face until now? “J… Jason, you here.” I stammered, struggling to keep a smile on my face. Why was he here? What for? “Answer a simple question of mine, dad.” He stepped towards Howard, acting like I was a pest meant to be ignored. Rachel frowned, her lips curving into a frown. “Your sister just greeted you and this is how you reply to her?” Her voice went cold, disappointment filling the tone. Jason merely gave Rachel a look which spelled pity and mock. “Sister? Ha… I have to tell you something mom, don't throw away a gem for a rough stone.” He said, his
