MY HUSBAND KILLED OUR MARRIAGE. I BURIED HIS EMPIRE. Chapter 74
Adrian I hated the Grand Whitmore Hotel the last time I was here. Everything seemed fake. The smiles of the staff seemed fake. The gold decorations seemed fake. The quiet music in the lobby seemed fake. And this visit had not changed that thought.But I had a purpose this time, so I did not care if it felt fake.I sat at a table near the back of the lounge and I checked my watch. I frowned. Darren had mentioned the man would be arriving here before 7 pm. It was already 9:30 pm and I had not seen him. The lounge was half empty and the waiter had already asked me twice if I wanted to order."Are you waiting for someone, sir?" the waiter asked again when he passed my table."Yes," I said. "I am waiting for a business contact.""He is late," the waiter said."I know," I said.The waiter left me alone. I checked my watch again. 9:32 pm.It would make sense to call Darren given I had a limited call quota per month on this private line. Darren had set up this number for me specifically so i

Adrian My secretary stood in the doorway of my office and she looked worried."You have barely slept over the last two days, sir," she said.I relaxed into my chair and sighed. My back hurt and my eyes burned."I know," I said. "I have not slept well.""You should rest," she said. "You have been working since morning yesterday.""I will rest soon," I said. "I just need to finish this file."She walked into the office and placed a cup of coffee on my desk."Thank you," I said.She did not leave. She stood beside my desk and looked at the papers scattered everywhere."Was she married?" I asked suddenly, without looking up.My secretary looked confused."Who, sir?" she asked."The woman from the foundation," I said. "The woman who came yesterday to present the school project. Was she married?"She frowned, and then she nodded slowly."Yes, sir," she said. "She mentioned her husband when we spoke in the lobby. She said her husband drives her to work."I nodded. For a moment, I wondered h

VivianCurrently, the afternoon sun was hot and the children were singing in the yard. I was visiting an orphanage home. It was part of an ongoing series of charity events I had been doing to regain public trust after the IRS scandal.The orphanage was called Hope House. There were thirty children there. They all wore clean uniforms."Miss Sinclair, thank you for coming," the director said. She was a middle-aged woman with a kind face."Thank you for having me," I said.We spent two hours together. I played with the children. I read them books. I helped them with their lunch. They were happy to see me.One little girl held my hand tightly."Will you come again?" she asked me."Yes, I will come again," I said to her.My phone rang when I was leaving the building. I saw Damien's name on the screen.Damien called and asked how I was doing as I entered my car while waving at the kids who seemed distraught at my leaving."How are you doing?" Damien asked when I answered."I am fine," I rep

AdrianEveryone in the room was astonished when Mrs. Grant abstained. This was not the outcome that should have occurred. Thomas had expected her to vote for removal. I had hoped she would vote for me to stay. No one expected her to abstain.The man who had proposed the vote frowned and asked the woman why she had abstained."Mrs. Grant, why did you abstain?" Thomas asked. His voice was tight with anger. "You raised your hand and then you dropped it. Why?""My vote is mine to make," Mrs. Grant said. She looked at him calmly. "Or were you expecting a specific outcome before we even voted? Did you have an intended outcome before the meeting started?""That is not what I meant," Thomas said."It sounded like what you meant," Mrs. Grant said.Seeing her fire back at Thomas made me think that Darren was behind this entire vote. Darren had the power to influence board members. Darren could have paid Mrs. Grant to vote against me, but she did not.She was not a fan of mine either, but she sa

AdrianThe boardroom was silent when I entered. The air was heavy and tense. A member of the board plainly told me that this was all my fault like it was a final verdict."Adrian, this is all your fault," Thomas said. He did not even look at me when he said it. "This mess is because of you."I could see the gloating and joy at my predicament displayed on the eyes of the board members. They were happy to see me in trouble."I understand you are upset," I said."Upset?" Thomas said. "We are more than upset. We lost two major suppliers in one morning.""I know," I said.I could not argue against it, I would have to be on the defensive today. I knew that if I shouted, I would lose completely."I never expected the man to be such a bad egg," I told them. "I trusted Mark and he betrayed our agreement. I will make things right. I will find new suppliers."One of the execs remarked sharply that I said that same thing the first time I messed up and got them into the Swiss bank's claws."You sa

VivianThe news on the television in the car was loud and clear. Whatever Damien did was definitely way overboard.But I liked it.Watching the newsroom channels reveal that the IRS case against me had been fabricated, cooked up by a certain executive in Lancaster industries and an officer at the IRS district, I found it mind blowing.The anchor was reading the statement seriously."Today the IRS issued an apology to Miss Vivian Sinclair," the anchor said. "The case against her was found to be fabricated by an officer at the IRS district office who was working with an executive from Lancaster Industries."Truly, I was clean, and the IRS had apologized for their rashness, their quietness seemingly felt like an external hand was manipulating them too. I knew Damien had made that happen. I knew he had used pressure I did not have.That officer's name had been sitting in my own notes since the board meeting. Damien had only supplied the pressure I did not have. I had written down Cole's n
