Jared's POV “You can have this.” I mumbled, as I dropped wads of cash on the table, and I took a drag of my cigar as I watched the man greedily count the money.‘Such a creep!’ I thought, but I couldn't help but be proud of myself that I took care of this. “Thanks, Mr. Sander, this is a lot, even though I will have done it without receiving anything.” He said, but I didn't reply as I stared at the beautiful landscape painting in his office.I was currently at the house of the SAN business college director, and the reason I was there, was to bribe him to forge Jennifer's identity into someone else after I found out that he had been sniffing around on his own. I knew the picture of another woman being Jennifer would throw off his doubts and he would believe he was just being delusional, which he was.How could he think of getting Jennifer back again? This time I would make sure that no one takes her away from me, not even Meredith, my trashy ally. She thought she could play me this ti
Jennifer's POV I dragged my feet behind Raphael as I left the hotel, but my mind was in shambles. Lyon could already guess that I was the Jennifer he knew, but he had no proof to prove that, and it seems someone didn't want him to find that out, which led to sending another woman's picture as mine.But could that be? “Are you okay?” Gr asked, as he squeezed my hand, but I slipped my hand out of his. “Why are you here, Raphael? Did you perhaps follow me?” I asked, and he chuckled loudly.“Follow you? What did you take me for? I'm supposed to meet someone here, but I didn't get the room number, so I just knocked on random rooms to check.” He said that, but it didn't sound plausible.I felt weird that Raphael showed up at the hotel, and not just a random room, but a penthouse. How could he have stumbled over a penthouse on his way? I thought but didn't ask questions because if he asked questions too, I wouldn't have an answer. We walked to the hotel parking lot and entered Raphael's ca
Lyon's POV “That's not possible, I thought…” I stuttered as I looked at the woman in the picture. She didn't look familiar, and I didn't feel any attraction, so there was no way I knew her.I was sure that Jennifer was the one that I was looking for, and since the director of the university also assured me that I wasn't mistaken, I even agreed to send pictures of what could be wrong.Could it be that someone might be playing me?“I don't know what your theories were, but I think this is the person you are looking for. You can start posting fliers of her around now,” she breathed.I noticed that she looked rather relieved but sad, which made me suspicious that I might be missing something. “Which business college did you attend, Ms Kendrick?” I asked, and I watched her eyes dim at my question.“Why are you curious about that?”“I just want to know; can you tell me then?” I blurted, as I stared intensely at her, but she avoided my eyes. I could tell that she was hiding something; coul
Lyon's POV “Are you sure?’ I breathed into the phone, and I sighed in relief when I heard the confirmation. I had been around all morning trying to find answers to the multiple questions that had no answers for a long time, which led me to contact SAN business college vice chancellery because it was said that the Jennifer Mathew mentioned went to the school while I was a professor there.“Ok, thank you.” I replied as I hung up on the call. I couldn't believe the information I just stumbled upon; if my theory was correct, then I might just get some answers to the spaces in my head. I drove to the Hilton hotel, seeing that it was evening and I had an engagement with Jennifer. The meeting was to tease her about the night we spent together, but I had another reason to actually see her. She had answers to most of my questions, and I knew I could reason with her if she came. I got to the penthouse, and I waited for Jennifer, but I watched as the clock ticked until late evening. I paced
Raphael's POV If you want to attack your enemies, make sure you have a good defense so it won't backfire on you, and that was what I did. I set up my company for drags, so no one would suspect me if the landowners went missing because I would have had the best defense for that.While I carried out my plans, someone else would get blamed for it, and that someone else would be the old man that couldn't keep his hands to himself.“How can anyone defeat me?” I chuckled as I stared down at the city from my office balcony. The night was indescribably beautiful that day, and maybe because tomorrow would be more thrilling, I was in a good mood. My company topped headlines today; the Sander Group would also top the headlines next. I would make sure of it.“And if everything falls in place, I can live happily ever after with…” I was saying, but a knock on my office door jolted me out of my thoughts. “Come in,” I breathed, as I walked back to my seat, and my assistant walked in.“Boss.” He bow
Jennifer's POV “What channel is this?” I asked my secretary, as I stared at the headlines, and I panicked. I thought I would be the one making headlines after what happened at the restaurant this morning, but RM Holdings was the one making headlines. The anchor was reporting that the ongoing construction of RM Holdings was endangering the lives of the citizens and how RM Holdings should be cancelled.“I don't know, but the news has blown up, and every media house is reporting the news. What should we do?” My secretary asked, and I racked my brain to come up with the best solution, but before I could talk, Raphael barged into my office.“Seen the news?” He asked, and he looked so disturbed. “Yes, and I'm actually…” I was saying, but I watched Raphael make several calls to some media houses, promising them advertisement deals if they could counter the news. That was the best defense at the moment.“Can you gather the team? We need to have a meeting,” I instructed my secretary, and she
