Silas’s pov

During the board meeting, I sat and tapped my leg impatiently on the floor. I wanted this meeting to be over quickly because I had so many places to be with Julian that day. I just wanted to be out of here.

When Matthias stood up to talk about more things, I scoffed and looked away.

He looked at me. “Is anything the matter, Mr. Silas?”

I laughed. “Nothing. Keep going. I mean, it’s not like we all have lives to get to.”

A board member leaned forward. “This is our life.”

I was about to counter when somebody said in the background, “Maybe it’s because he’s married to that gold digger, so our lives should pause.”

I looked at the crowd. I could see all of them staring at me intently. I leaned back in my chair, folding my arms.

“Is that how everybody here feels? That I’m married to some gold digger, so I don’t care about other people’s lives?”

No one said anything as I got up.

“Meeting is moved to another day because I have things to do.”

I then walked out. Mr. Matthias followed

    Ken’s povI gave a quick nod. “Sure. I won’t. But here’s what I’m going to do. You are going to erase every evidence you have against me. And if you threaten me again, I won’t be the one doing the shooting. But I’ll hire people to shoot you.”“Is that so?” He got closer to the table, leaning forward and smiling at me. “Fine. I’ll erase it. But did you think that your plan of not shooting me would go a long way? Let’s be honest. By the time I walk out of the door, I could blow up your car when you’re going home.”I shuddered at hearing that from him.“And you don’t even know if maybe I have a backup drive at home that the moment I die, it will be sent to the press.”He could be bluffing. But I wasn’t going to fall for that.“I don’t believe you,” I said to him.He smiled. “Don’t believe me then. But in case you hear conversations on the web, know that you brought this on yourself.”Almost immediately, I started to lower my gun as he smiled.“That’s a good boy. But because you’ve held y

    Ken’s povI watched the court case over and over on my phone while waving my glass of whiskey in my hand. I then paused it and stopped looking at the phone and looked at the liquid in the glass before hearing clamoring in the hallway. I could hear my assistant running after somebody and yelling that the person shouldn’t be here, and I knew it was my spy and assassin.Taking my gun, I latched it under the table and behaved like nothing was wrong. The door burst open with the man coming in as well as my assistant.“You can leave him, Sarah. Walk back out.”“But sir…”“Sarah, leave. Now.”She looked at both of us and nodded before going out, closing the door behind her as I looked at him.“What seems to be the problem pretty boy,” he chuckled, like I wasn’t vexed already.“You know what, Damon, I’ve had a very long day. A very, very terrible day, if I’m being honest. And it’s all because of you. You couldn’t make Emery’s death more of an accident. Instead, you had to make it so goddamn r

    Ken’s povI got into my car and waved to my driver to take us out of this estate. He nodded and ignited the car as he started to drive away.“Where to, sir?” he asked, but my mind was on the court case.What the fuck had happened in there? How was that guy the one trying to destroy my life now?I looked at my phone… it was still buzzing. More than five hundred messages and two hundred missed calls. I didn’t even know what to say or what to do anymore. All I could think of was how to rip Julian’s throat out of his neck. How to detach his hands in the most painful way. How to make him regret every single word he had said in the courtroom.But there was nothing in my head that could amount to the amount of pain I wanted to inflict on him. He was just there. He didn’t understand what it felt like to actually be on top. I had done what I had done for me. That bastard had no right to show up and think he could blackmail me.I was going to teach him a lesson… but first, I had to teach someon

    Silas’s povI didn’t even know how I had left the courtroom but I could remember getting into my car and closing the door.Why? I asked myself multiple times. What the hell is going on?“Mr. Silas,” someone called as I could only hear muffled sounds.“Mr. Silas.”I looked up to see my driver had opened the door for me.“We’re home.”I stared at him for a couple of minutes before nodding and getting out.“Should I get something for you?”“I… I just need some time alone.”I walked in. I had come home without Nathan or my lawyer.What the hell was happening? I should have known that he was going to pull out some stunt. It was a classic Julian move. He was always doing this.I got to the whiskey cabinet and poured myself a good glass of whiskey which I downed and slammed down with anger.I thought about what I had heard today and seen… Julian pointing at Ken, Ken laughing and acting surprised. Was his surprise even real? Was it truly real?Was Ken the one who had killed Emery?It wasn’t g

    Julian’s pov“Are you out of your damn mind?!” my lawyer yelled as he shook his head. “I can’t believe I’m defending you. What the fuck did you think you were gonna accomplish here? I’m so stupid for taking on this case to defend you.”“You wanted me to lie?”“No, I wanted you to tell the truth! All these things you’re bringing up here, I told you no goddamn surprises!” he yelled, banging his hand on the table before me.“As I said, I’m sorry. All right? I didn’t know if I could trust you.”“Oh, right now, do you think you can trust me? Because right now, I’m thinking of dropping this goddamn case. I can’t handle this case anymore. You are going against someone who is far more powerful than Silas. He’s a presidential aspirant. He doesn’t go out there putting out his private life. He stays on his own. Ken is one of the most powerful politicians out there. He goes about his business, handles his company, and doesn’t look for anyone’s trouble. And yet, somehow, he’s the same person that

    Julian’s povI thought back on that night that it had happened and thought back on the day I had read the news and gulped.My eyes fell on where Silas was sitting. His eyes were almost bulging out of his head.The courtroom was broken into two, some arguing, some muttering, and some outrightly judging me while some congratulating me. And it didn’t take long before the judge slammed his gavel down.“Order! Order!” he yelled, as the noise took some time before it died down.The judge then turned to me. “What is this, Mr. Julian, trying to cause mayhem in my courtroom?”I shook my head. “No, Your Honor, I’m just trying to tell the truth of what happened.”“And can anybody corroborate your story?” he went further to ask.I shook my head. “Unfortunately, no. But I’m just giving the way everything happened. You can ask me what happened on this day and what happened on that day and I’ll tell you where I’ve been. But never in my life have I committed any murder or done anything destructive. A
