    For a brief moment, Leon simply stared at him. "...What did you say?""I just got off the phone with one of the investigators."Leon straightened almost instinctively. "Did they find Elizabeth?"Darious slowly shook his head. "Actually, not yet."A flicker of disappointment crossed Leon's face almost as quickly as it had appeared. "Then what did they find?""They found someone connected to Richard Carter."Leon frowned. "Richard Carter… her biological father?"Darious nodded once. "Our investigator has been following every trace of his employment records, bank history, old addresses... everything.""And?""Most of it was a dead end."Leon's expression remained unreadable, though his eyes never left Darious."But this morning," Darious continued, "one of those addresses led them to a retired correctional officer.""A correctional officer?" Leon blinked."Yes, sir,” Darious confirmed. “He recognized Richard's name immediately."Leon slowly folded his arms. "So Richard had a criminal rec

    LEON'S RESIDENCE…Leon stood quietly at the edge of the balcony, one hand resting against the cool metal railing while his eyes wandered across the skyline.For the first time in years, his afternoon belonged entirely to him. Normally, by this hour, he would have been buried beneath a mountain of reports, moving from one board meeting to another while his secretary struggled to keep pace with his schedule. Every minute of his day had always been accounted for.But yoday, there was nothing — no ringing office phone, no executive meetings, no urgent emails waiting for his approval.It was supposed to feel weird, but strangely, it waa comforting.He drew in a slow breath, allowing the breeze to wash over him. Perhaps for the first time since becoming CEO, he wasn't thinking about quarterly profits or shareholder expectations.His thoughts wandered to Amber. He wondered if she had opened the envelope by now.She must have seen the divorce papers… the transfer documents, the cheque, most o

    Every conversation inside the boardroom ceased as Darious stepped inside. His expression remained composed, though the slight furrow between his brows betrayed the fact that he already suspected why he had been summoned.He paused just inside the doorway. "Mr. Chairman."Douglas inclined his head. "Please, come in."Darious acknowledged the directors with a polite nod before taking the vacant seat nearest the end of the conference table.He looked from one familiar face to another before finally resting his gaze on Douglas."You wanted to see me, sir?"Douglas folded his hands together."You've probably guessed why you're here."Darious offered a faint smile. "I have a few suspicions."Douglas's expression remained serious. "The board has spent the better part of this morning discussing the company's future."Darious listened without interrupting."As you know, Leon's resignation has created a vacancy that cannot remain unfilled.""I understand."Director Harrison leaned forward. "Yo

    VIREMONT HOLDINGS. The atmosphere inside the executive boardroom was tense. Inside, Every member seated around the long walnut conference table understood that Viremont Holdings stood at one of the most critical crossroads in its history. Hushed conversations drifted through the room as directors exchanged uneasy glances, each trying to make sense of the whirlwind that had unfolded over the past twenty-four hours. "I still can't believe Leon resigned." "He didn't just resign," another director corrected quietly. "He walked away voluntarily." "The shareholders have been calling nonstop since yesterday. Our investor relations department hasn't had a moment to breathe." "And the media..." One of the older directors let out a weary sigh. "They're camped outside the building. Every news outlet wants to know who's taking over." Another director adjusted his glasses before speaking. "The opening bell wasn't kind to us this morning. The market hates uncertainty." "It always doe

    RINA'S APARTMENT…The apartment had been unusually quiet all afternoon. Amber stood on the small balcony outside the living room, absentmindedly watering the potted plants Rina had insisted on buying months ago. Her thoughts drifted aimlessly, never lingering on one thing for too long.Or at least, that was what she wanted to believe. Every few minutes, her mind wandered back to the same man — Leon. She had replayed his press conference so many times that she could practically recite every word from memory.She closed her eyes. “Focus Amber… focus.”Just then, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. Rina, who had been folding laundry in the bedroom, peeked into the living room."I'll get it."Amber nodded absentmindedly, setting the watering can aside. She barely paid attention as Rina walked toward the front door.The moment Rina opened the door, a long silence followed. Amber, from where she noticed the unusual silence.“Rina?” She frowned. “Who's at the door?”No answer.

    "Douglas..." she whispered, fear replacing anger. "Tell me."Douglas's restraint finally snapped. “FINE!” he thundered."Leon knows about the fraud, Elsa."He looked her straight in the eye. "He knows I falsified the company's financial records years ago. He found everything, Elsa. Every document... every falsified record... every piece of evidence I thought had disappeared.""He told me I had two choices. Either I confessed myself... or he'd hand the evidence over to the authorities and let the law do what I refused to do. And if he did, the damage would have been way worse than this”The color drained from Elsa's face. Her lips parted, but no sound came out.Douglas's breathing was uneven, his chest rising and falling heavily as years of guilt finally forced their way to the surface.Elsa stood still to the spot, her lips parted in disbelief. The words she had just heard refused to settle in her mind."You..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "You framed an innocent man?"Douglas

    Amber's POV. Why is this happening to me? What did I ever do wrong? I just couldn't believe I would find myself in this situation. I wiped my tears, turned, and stared blankly at the door to Leon Viremont's study. I took a deep breath and walked towards the door. Going back in was a nightmare. The

    Amber's POV.I don’t remember falling asleep, but I remember waking up. The morning slipped in so quickly. It was like a millisecond. I stared at the ceiling wishing that the night would be longer to at least give me time to breathe or just maybe everything that had happened was a dream. But realit

    Leon's POV.I've never encountered a girl like her before. She is bold, clear, outspoken, and not to mention, elegant. Her actions caught my attention, something no one had ever done. I sat on the leather chair in my study, leaning back, reminiscing on the scene that had happened at the charity eve

    Amber is still in disbelief. She collects the letter from Rina and reads it again. This time, aloud. “Your debt has been acquired by Leon Viremont. You're expected at 106 Vale Crescent in 48 hours. Come alone.” The note had no signature, just clear instruction. She still wasn't sure of what she
