The Montclair Group council had decided, but somehow, their decision wasn’t strong enough to have Clarissa displaced. It was a small victory for me, but it was necessary. Now, my seed pod discord had already germinated and was now strongly rooted in the hearts of most of the board members. That was some progress for me. I now had to move to the next phase, which meant acting on the already existent resentment and adding some catalysts.
I began by approaching the acting head of the company whom my father had just displaced by conferring the role on Clarissa, and I welcomed him as he walked into my office later that week.
“Welcome, Mr Antonio,” I said. “What do I offer you?”
“Nothing, ma'am, I’m fine,” he said.
I shrugged. “Alright then, I’ll just go straight to the point.”

ISABELLA.The news outlets and every media and gossip blog buzzed with the news of the blast, with images of flames licking the shattered convoy trending all over. Reporters across different news media had a field day speculating who must have been behind the attack on the Montclair heiress, wondering if it was a business or political rival, or some sort of vendetta.I took a slow sip from my mug of coffee as I stood by the window of my office, positioned amongst the top floors of the very tall office building. I inhaled deeply as I looked over the stretch of the city in my view, and for the first time in a long while, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Though Clarissa had survived the blast, the chaos surrounding the incident had painted a perfect picture for public doubt. The public’s perception of Clarissa now was that she was a walking target — vulnerable, dangerous to be around, and risky to support and be associated with.

DEVAN.The smell of smoke still clung to the jacket I wore, a reminder of the ugly incident that had almost stolen Clarissa from me and which could have… no, would have taken her life. I hadn’t spoken much about it since it happened, and after I’d personally driven Clarissa back home, placing her under serious watch and making sure she was medically okay, the images from the crash kept replaying in my mind like an unpleasant reel... the patrol car which had engulfed in flames, the screech of tires on the ground as the cars braked sharply, Clarissa’s place face as she stumbled out of the wreck and collapsed into my arms, and the dark figure I had seen watching calmly across the street before he mysteriously disappeared.Now, hours later, I paced about the security room of one of my underground safehouses, and as I moved to and fro the ends of the room restlessly, I stared straight at each of the members

CLARISSA.I spent the entire night feeling restless, tossing and turning on the bed as I thought about my conversation with Devan earlier that evening. I wouldn’t say that I couldn’t see reasons to every security measure Devan was trying to put in place for me, and God knows I really appreciated every single move he made for me, but somehow, despite the very obvious danger signs we saw, I still felt unfazed and insisted on my refusal to be confined to a place and watched over by a multitude of security officials. He had suggested talking to my father and asking him to speak to me himself, if that was going to make me listen to him, and I’d been against the idea, making sure to make him promise not to say a thing to my father. The Marcus Montclair that I knew would go way beyond even what Devan had done, and before I knew it, I would be moving around with at least ten men before and behind me, just so my safety would be assured.

CLARISSA.“Devan?” I said, looking at him in surprise as I let him in. “What’s up? You didn’t tell me you were coming.”He walked in past me into the apartment, running a hand through his hair.“Is everything okay?” I asked him, narrowing my eyes as I looked at him.“Everything’s fine,” he replied, walking to the armchair and sinking his weight into it. “How are you?”I walked to the bar and picked a bottle of whiskey with two glass mugs which I placed on the small side glass table between his chair and mine. “Well, except for my constant displeasure at that car you have parked and monitoring me, I’m good.”He sat up from his reclined position and popped the bottle of whiskey open, pouring himself a generous shot and some for me. We clinked our glasses

DEVAN.I sat in my study turned private surveillance room, my eyes fixed on the digital map glowing in front of me. Tiny red and green markers dotted the screen indicating movements, locations, and security clearance zones, just like I had configured it to be. I continued to stare at the screen quietly, but beneath my silence, I could feel the heavy weight of my heart thumping loudly against my chest.I had kept my ears to the ground and had placed underdogs at every angle to sniff out the slightest information or update about anything that might have to do with either Bruce or Clarissa, and over the last few days, my security network had gathered intel on Bruce’s increased and even more pressurizing threats, and in a twinkle of an eye, he no longer seemed interested in public humiliation or any ‘out-of-court’ settlement. His recent messages now sounded more deadly, indicating a physical and permanent removal from the picture. I’d become extremely worried about Clarissa’s safety and i
