NOAH’S POV

He was crumbling. As much as he tried to act like he wasn’t scared, I could see it in his eyes. Fear had gripped him.

And the air— the air had gotten thick with the smell of his cowardice.

“Who is one of your own?” he asked, sipping on a glass of whiskey, trying to look like he wasn’t shaking in his boots.

“Sasha Beck is my wife,” I said in a low tone.

“A harlot who married her ex-husband’s stepbrother,” Eleanor scoffed.

“You will not disrespect my wife in such a manner!” I hissed.

They paused, they could see that they were treading on thin ice.

“Roland you had made a terrible move trying to sabotage her legacy…”

Roland laughed, “Sabotage your wife? What in the lord’s hill are you talking about?”

“The move you made trying to play the media against Sasha, have you forgotten that she has control over all the media houses?”

His eyes twitched, he was getting a draft of what I was talking about.

“Do you want to see what I do to people who try to make an enemy of me,” I hissed.

  • Divorced By My Ex, Accepted By His Step-Brother    Keys to her world

    NOAH’S POVThe world was burning to ashes, and news channels carried the story of the supposed leak that came from my office.Matt stood by the corner, worry lines etched on his face as he watched the analyst try to explain my downfall to the other news reporters. This was the chaos that I wanted.No one understands the beauty that comes in the chaos, no one sees the pain before the pleasure.“You are about to crash the stock market you know that?” Arthur said, his eyes fixed on the television.I smiled, “The matriarch wanted to see me fall, isn’t this the way forward?”Arthur sighed; he was a strategist, just like me, but I could see it in his eyes that he wasn’t agreeing with my crude method of things.“What do you plan to do when you debunk the story?” he asked.“Nothing, when I make a major investment, the world wouldn’t remember what had happened a few weeks ago, right now, Petal Conrad has to enjoy her few seconds of fame,” I replied, pouring myself a glass of whiskey.I wasn’t

    SASHA’S POVNoah Beck was gone for most of the day. But the smirk on his face before he left the house only meant one thing.Whatever he was up to, the Conrads weren't going to like it.“Sasha, you have to see this,” Nina said, drawing my attention to the phone that she held in her hands.I was getting to hate that sentence every time she said it, “What is going on again?”She stared at me like she was unsure what to say, “Nina!” I groaned.The suspense isn’t going to change the fact that something horrible has happened and as usual we were at the blunt end of it.“Noah Beck is he here?” she asked.Gosh! If Nina doesn’t talk I’m the next twenty minutes I am going to break her head, and just maybe a few bones.“Nina, you have to get on with it, Noah isn’t here,” I hissed.“Here,” she said, handing the phone to me.I gasped, my fingers trembling as I stared at the bold letters flashing on the screen.INTERNAL BREACH IN THE BECK HOLDINGS.

    AUTHOR’S POVBACK AT THE CONRAD RESIDENCEThe house was wrapped in silence, but Petal’s mind was a thunderstorm. The vents of the week played through her mind. She had gone over to pay Sasha a visit, it was a move of intimidation. It would have worked, but Roland and his partner just had to make moves that they shouldn't have.And now, they were barely breathing from the ship that was slowly sinking.Eleanor walked into the room, her eyes soft as she stared at the matriarch, The woman may not be her biggest fan, but she needed to make sure that she was always on her good side.“What are we going to do? The board, if they see this…” Eleanor paused, her voice caught in her throat as she feared the worst that would come.“The board won't do a thing, I will talk to them. As far as they know, Sasha Beck and Noah Beck are trying so hard to sabotage the Conrad family,” she said.She knew that those words wouldn’t hold, nor would they calm the storm that would come. But it would buy time, tha

    NOAH’S POVThe best tool in warfare was fear. And now, the Conrad empire was crippled with it.“Good,” I muttered, ending the call immediately. Matt stared at me with confusion etched on his face as he waited to hear what I had to say.“Get the board of directors. I need them to put a little pressure on the empire,” I said with a broad smile on my face.The difference between me and the Conrad was that I played the long game, the one that looks like a pebble being thrown into water, but the ripple effect is one thing they can't run from.Making that video was Roland’s biggest mistake and I wanted them to know that.“What should I tell them,” Matt asked.“Make them frown about the news and the bad press going around Roland Conrad, and as a suggestion for the disaster that he is causing the company, play along the lines of investors are pulling out,” I muttered.They had no investors from their influence, everything that they currently own has been curated by me. Excitement thrummed thr

    SASHA’S POVWhen Matt had mentioned the second clip and what it contained, I knew we weren’t just sitting back and playing defence any more. Noah was attacking and he was coming at them like a vicious mountain lion.No one gets this feeling, to have someone take up your cries like he could feel your pain and act on it. Noah Beck hadn’t let me out to wring and dry like I had expected, rather, he had taken the stones they had thrown and built a castle for me.“Why are you smiling like that?” Nina asked, settling beside me as she handed me a glass of orange juice.“Nothing,” I said, shaking my head slightly.“Huh,” she said in an unbelieving tone. “So how are we doing?” she asked, staring at the television as the newscaster analysed the story of the fake midwife and the real one.They had reached out to me, hoping that I would grant an interview, but I wasn’t ready for that. The scar that had been reopened was hurting too much to heal.“Nothing much, just the different hashtags that have

    AUTHOR’S POVAnastasia paced around the room, her head spinning in anger as the images of what had happened in the library went through her mind. She had been kept out of the will like she was some low class beggar.And Roland, he had been quiet, sitting silently and listening as they awarded Sasha the things that should have been hers. She couldn’t miss out on this, not when this had been the reason she had agreed to be with Roland.Her fists were clenched by her side, anger swirling in her eyes, Sasha had looked so smug— proud even as the lawyer read everything that had been willed to her name.A minute of regret flashed through her mind, in some way she had missed it by chasing after the bag when she would have gone after the money itself.

And now he was married to Sasha Hawkins, a reject in society.A smirk formed on h
