Freeze Me Out, Lose Everything Chapter 10
"Victor... that's..."I looked at him, at a loss for words."I'm working for Ms. Bishop now. And I..."Victor waved away my concern with a smile."I know. I'm not asking you to leave her company. Think of this as doing me a favor by overseeing this one part-time."He leaned back in his seat."I'll talk to Helena myself. Our companies can work together, combine our strengths, and build something much bigger."His smile turned wry."Consider the equity a thank-you gift. And one last slap in the face to that vicious woman."Outside the car, Darlene heard every word.Whatever composure she had left vanished."What right do you have? That's my company!"She screamed until her voice cracked."I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!"She snatched a loose brick from the ground and began smashing it against my car window.Then police sirens sounded.The officers I'd called at the beginning of the confrontation had finally arrived.They had a violent public fight to deal with, alon

"Turns out you're not even rich on your own! Everything belongs to your husband's family!"Tristan laughed wildly."Fine. If you lied to me, then we can go down together! The disease has been there for ages. Get yourself tested. Who knows how bad it is by now!"The security guards watching the fight scattered in alarm.Darlene went deathly pale.She tore her hand out of Tristan's grasp and scrambled toward Victor."Victor! Honey, please help me!"Her voice cracked."Doesn't your cousin work in public health? He can get me to the right doctors, can't he? Please! I'm not ready to die!"She reached toward Victor in desperation.I reacted without thinking, pulling Victor into my car and locking the doors."Stay back! Don't you dare give it to us!" I shouted through the window.Darlene slammed into the glass, her face distorted with panic."Open the door! Victor, you can't abandon me! I'm your wife!"She pounded on the window."Declan! Let me in! I need a doctor! I want the b

The punch sent Tristan stumbling. A dark bruise spread across his cheek.Before Tristan could even react, Victor turned and slapped Darlene twice.Smack. Smack."Your brother, am I? Controlling, am I?"He glared at her."Darlene, you've really outdone yourself."Tristan clutched his face, staring at Victor with furious disbelief."You hit me? Do you have any idea who I am? I'm going to run this place!""Run this place?"Victor seized Darlene by the collar and forced her to look at him."When I met you, you couldn't even afford a basement apartment. I sold my family's house to give you the money to start this business."His voice shook with fury."Every brick in this office, every desk, everything you see was paid for by my family! And you took my money, built your future, and ended up in another man's bed? You were planning a wedding in the Azure Isles?"He shook her once."Go on, Darlene. Tell your little boyfriend who the real husband is. Speak! Have you suddenly forgot

I stepped aside and opened the passenger door.A distinguished-looking middle-aged man in a black overcoat got out. He removed his sunglasses and looked at Darlene without a hint of warmth.Her knees nearly buckled."H-honey? Victor? What are you doing here?"She stared at him in horror."I thought you were back home with your parents! Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could've picked you up..."As she spoke, she tried desperately to pry Tristan's arm from her shoulders.Tristan, apparently incapable of reading a room, only held on tighter."Babe, who is this old guy?" he demanded. "Who shows up and starts threatening people like that?"The air seemed to freeze.Victor raised an eyebrow."Babe?"He let the word hang in the air.Darlene looked ready to pass out. She clapped a hand over Tristan's mouth and shoved him away."Don't listen to him! Victor, this man is out of his mind. He's making things up!"Sweat streamed down her face as she reached for Victor's hand

Less than two minutes later, Helena replied with a mysterious-looking emoji.Then came an email address I didn't recognize."A little surprise for you. Make good use of it. The rest of the show is yours to direct."I stared at the address, eyebrows raised.Helena hadn't risen to the top of a publicly traded company by making pointless moves. Every move she made served a purpose.Could the person behind that address be...?I smiled and pulled up the recording I'd made when Tristan bragged about marrying Darlene.One tap, and it was on its way.A reply arrived less than five minutes later."Thank you. I need your help at ten tomorrow morning. You will be generously compensated once this is settled."...The next morning, I drove my new car to the building that housed my old company.Before I even reached the entrance, I saw Darlene hiding behind a row of shrubs, talking frantically on her phone.It was Margaret Kessler, and her voice was loud enough to carry through the spea

Darlene's smile froze halfway across her face.She stood there for several seconds before waving a dismissive hand."Ms. Bishop, you're quite the comedian. Our company is about to go public. All we need is the signature on your investment, and we're ready. That's not the kind of thing you joke about."Helena said nothing. She simply watched Darlene with a knowing smile and stepped away from her reaching hand.Then Tristan's phone rang.He answered lazily, irritation dripping from his voice."Hello? Gary? Why are you calling? You know Ms. Kessler and I are in Santa Lucera."Gary, the operations manager, sounded close to tears."Tristan, this is an emergency! The office... the office is empty!""What do you mean, empty? Speak clearly!"Tristan jerked so hard that sunscreen spilled down his leg."It's Declan! He just brought in resignation letters from most of our senior people in sales and IT. They packed up and left!"Gary's voice cracked."He even convinced the cleaner to
