Gemma was dressed, ready for battle. Her tailored black pantsuit fit her perfectly, accentuating her slender figure and height. A crisp white blouse with a subtle sheen complemented her smooth, dark hair, which was styled in a sleek, low bun. A simple yet elegant silver necklace graced her neck, adding a touch of understated glamour. Her high heels clicked on the floor, commanding attention as she moved with purpose. Her overall appearance was polished, intelligent, and commanding, radiating the confidence of a skilled lawyer ready to take on the case. “Is this Lawyer Gemma?” Kayden teased, stunned by her appearance. “You look very handsome.” Gemma complimented. He stood tall, exuding confidence and style, in his tailored suit that fit him like a glove. The charcoal grey fabric was sleek and modern, accentuating his broad shoulders and lean physique. A crisp white dress shirt complemented his chiselled features, while a slim black tie added a touch of sophistication. Hi
Amon walked into the office as he adjusted his glasses. He looked over the greedy moguls who were trying to suck the Corporation clean. “Welcome Vice-President” Kayden greeted warmly. Amon smiled and his best friend, who looks significantly leaner in his frame. “Are these the new board members," Amon asked, although he knew the answer. “The old board, all except that man and my mom, is fired” Kayden said, pointing at Seth, who was sitting nervously. “Why are they still here then?” Amon asked, casting a glaring look at the old board members. “I just wanted to show them how prosperous King's would be, You all should start clearing your desks, now” Kayden said as the old board members scrambled to their feet to beg. “If you have any resentment or you feel wronged, you can contact my lawyers.” Kayden said as he said with a tone of finality. Catherine looked so proud of her son. Though she was in no way part of his upbringing, he had grown to be such an excellent man. She
“Throne, wake up, if you keep lying down on me like this, I don't think we'll leave the bed” Kayden teased as Gemma's eyes immediately opened as she rushed out of bed. “Kay, how late am I? You should have woken me up earlier, keep this up, and I'll go back to my apartment.” Gemma warned. “What do you mean? Plus, I called in for you, told them you would be late.” Kayden said as Gemma rushed to the closet to bring out her outfit for the day. “You can't do that? People would think I am getting special treatment.” Gemma said. “Of course you are special, you are Mrs. King's!” Kayden said. “I don't recall me being married Kay, besides, who knows what would happen in the future.” Gemma said as she rushed to the bathroom. “True, anything can happen, but that title is yours, babe. You know it.” Kayden assured as Gemma chuckled. “Should I just acquire TC fully?” Kayden asked, trying to get a reaction from Gemma. “Don't you dare, or I'll never talk to you again in this lifetime.”
Mr. Throne walked to the office in full confidence, and he reeked of alcohol. “My boy! A nice place you got….huh?” How did this moron share genes with his queen? “You don't look so pleased, huh..... I am your father-in-law.” Mr. Throne slurred. The expiration the gang had given him was close. If he did not provide the money, he might actually lose his life this time. “What do you really want?” Kayden asked in disgust. “That bitch, Gemma, told my creditors, they should do whatever they like, I came here hoping you would be different.” Kayden looked at the hobo who was slurring left and right. How dare he insult Gemma in his presence. Kayden became physically red with anger, but he clenched his finger in his palms so tight it began to bleed. “I want you to give me some money, that's all.” Mr. Throne ended. “How much do you want” Kayden asked, Gemma would kill him if she found out. “Now we are talking boy! It's actually chicken change to you,500 million is all I a
Gemma got to the mansion as the staff welcomed her. Tabloids of the incident had already spread like wide fire. She was a hot topic on the net and in netizens' mouths. Gemma went straight to the room as she began to pack everything. She was rushing because she didn't want Kayden to see her in this state. She packs all her luggage and heads downstairs. The maids who saw her were in shock. They immediately called for the head maid. “Madam?” The head maid called out. “Please, don't call me that” Gemma said weakly as she pulled her luggage as she exited the house. She dragged her bags to the front where a driver immediately helped her “I don't need your….” “Boss insists that I do this” the driver said as he carried her things Even now, Kayden still cares about her, and what she's doing right now is leeching off him. She really is her father's daughter. The car ride was silent as she looked outside the window, thinking about what life could have been without her abomi
“Are you sure you know a good lawyer?” Ama asked as she dressed the four-year-old, who was stressing her out a bit. “I do.” Alison answered dryly. It's been a week, and their situation has not improved. The landlord and some tugs came to forcefully evacuate them, but Alison fought back, saying that she had a lawyer at TC law firm. Gemma would never agree to help her after everything she had done. She was a terrible mother. A mother who deserted her daughter She had even blamed her for being the cause of the problem. She just needed someone to blame, and she took it out on her poor daughter. She remembered when she had just birthed Gena, she decided to call Gemma but couldn't because of how guilty she felt, so she lied to Gemma that she had cancer, hoping to see her. Alison held Gena's hand softly, hoping Gena would help. She didn't feel good about using Gena, but Gena was her last hope. After 2 long hours, they arrived in front of the legal titan TC law firm.
Gemma listened attentively as she called her assistant. “Find everything about City X's most powerful man.” Gemma said as she wrote down everything Alison narrated. “That's all.” Alison ended after what seemed to be a long rant. “So the development plans don't have any benefits for the people.” Gemma asked one final time, just to be sure. “They are literally making a whole community ho homless for their grand hotel, it's absurd!” Alison huffed. “It's not if the occupants are properly compensated.” “That's the problem they paid only the landlords and had them evacuate occupants forcefully.” Alison chipped in angrily. “And you suspect Thao Gang for this?” Gemma asked Alison. “Yes, members of the gangs have taken it upon their self to see us out of the place.” Alison spat angrily. “Alright then, I'll investigate further and appear in court as your attorney, so don't worry.” Gemma ended as Alison's eyes sparkled with joy. Gemma stood up to see Alison off. They both got stares f

All eyes were on her as she smiled brightly.FLASHBACK, “Mama” Young Kayden called.“Baby!” Catherine responded as she engulfed her son in a long, warm hug.“You look so pretty, Mama. I wrote a song for you.” Young Kayden said happily as he showed his toothless front teeth.“A song, that's beautiful” Catherine said as she looked around to see the maids smiling at both of them.“Mom, let me play it for you on the piano” Kayden smiled as he saw his mother.Catherine looked at her sweet boy as his grey eyes shimmered with hope.He was her heir,Her pride,Most importantly,Her son.“You look so pretty ma” Kayden said as he placed a kiss on Catherine's left cheek, snapping her from her train of thoughts.Catherine looked at her son as she smiled, but this time in pain as she became overwhelmed with guilt.She must have been at of her mind to abandon her precious son because of her ambitions.“Thank you, Kay” Catherine said in shame.“Let's
