“Mr. Kingston, what are you doing here?” the director asked.

Eric’s gaze rested on the director before shifting to Autumn, then landing on Sebastian with a cold glare.

“I’m here for my meeting,” he said, closing the door behind him as he walked in, deliberately ignoring Sebastian’s presence.

“Mr. Kingston, your meeting with me is scheduled for later. I’m currently in the middle of another,” the director said, clearing his throat.

“There will be no need for a later meeting. We can handle both he

    “Alright,” Eric said, sitting up straight. “I came here to talk about the land bought close to the project.”Autumn’s eyes narrowed slightly at his words. She wasn’t aware he had bought land so close to the project.*Is he stupid or something?* she thought, staring at him. *There’s no way he knew this much and still made the same mistake.*“Yes, it was brought to my notice that a purchase was made by King’s Construction — both parcels totaling over two hundred million pounds.”Eric nodded in confirmation and opened his mouth to speak—“It’s quite ironic, don’t you think?” Sebastian cut in. “That Mr. Kingston chastised me for not knowing the laws, and still made the exact same mistake. Doesn’t that make you worse than me?” The insult was aimed directly at Eric’s intelligence.“Cat got your tongue?” Sebastian turned to Autumn. “You were very vocal when criticizing me, but you can’t do the same for your ex-husband. Is it because you once shared a bed with him that makes him exceptionally

    “Mr. Kingston, what are you doing here?” the director asked.Eric’s gaze rested on the director before shifting to Autumn, then landing on Sebastian with a cold glare.“I’m here for my meeting,” he said, closing the door behind him as he walked in, deliberately ignoring Sebastian’s presence.“Mr. Kingston, your meeting with me is scheduled for later. I’m currently in the middle of another,” the director said, clearing his throat.“There will be no need for a later meeting. We can handle both here, one after the other.” Eric walked further into the room. “I heard that what Mr. Thorne came to discuss is similar to my own.” He watched Sebastian from the corner of his eye, searching for the slightest ripple of emotion.“It would be more beneficial to handle both together, rather than waste time.”The director sighed at his words. “What do you think, dear?” he asked Autumn, gesturing toward a seat two places away from Sebastian.Autumn’s eyes snapped up at him. She stared at the smile he d

    Sebastian walked confidently into the meeting room, his strides radiating smug satisfaction as he remembered the events of the previous day.Sophia had called him, crying hysterically about the lands being useless and worth nothing. She told him about the money she had spent on them.He rolled his eyes at her annoying temper tantrum.“You should have done a bit more due diligence on them,” he told her coolly.“You were the one who gave them to me!” she yelled. “You told me it was safe. You gave me the documents!”“I did not say they were safe. Don’t twist my words, Miss Simone. I only told you they were vacant.” He snorted at her crude demeanor. “You’re the one who made that horrible mistake. You didn’t do your proper research, and now you’re blaming me for it.”“I will tell Eric! I will report everything to him. You scammed me out of two hundred million, you demon!” She was screaming profanities at him. He just let out a crude laugh at her behaviour.“By all means, please do. I would

    A few days later…“…we also have the—”Gabriel burst through the door without knocking while Eric was in the middle of a meeting. Eric looked up at Gabriel’s panicked face and felt his heart drop into his stomach.He instantly flashed back to the warning he had given Gabriel a few weeks ago — that he must be informed immediately about anything regarding Autumn.He sat up straight.“My apologies. Something has come up on my end. I have to excuse myself.” He disconnected from the call. “Send the minutes to my assistant.”He removed his earphones and stood up to grab his coat.“What happened to Autumn?” he asked.“Sir, this doesn’t concern Madam,” Gabriel answered, still panicking.Eric paused, his hand freezing on the coat. His eyes snapped back to Gabriel.“Then what the hell made you run into my office like that?” His hand dropped. “Is it Fin?”Gabriel shook his head.“Gabriel, I will fire you,” Eric said, walking toward his desk, annoyed. “If it’s not about my wife or my son, then wh

    Sophia toyed with the pen in her hand, spinning it over and over as she mulled over the documents in front of her.They were the papers Sebastian had sent regarding the land acquisition — two parcels that King’s Construction was planning to purchase.Her thoughts weren’t only on how the land would give Eric an advantage and bring him more recognition, projects, and money.She was thinking about how it would finally make him acknowledge her. How intelligent she was. How valuable her strategies could be.If Eric saw how sharp her business mind was, he would have no choice but to bring her back to headquarters.She grimaced as she looked around her current office. It was nothing like her sleek downtown office with its breathtaking view of the London business district.Every time she opened the window, all she saw was a middle-class neighbourhood. She felt disgusted whenever she had to sit and listen to the people here.Ever since she had been transferred, she had been counting the days u

    Just as he had promised Autumn and himself, Gus continued his own search on Sebastian in his free time.He kept a quiet tab on him, making sure he stayed prepared. He knew Sebastian was up to something. The man was a predator — he never stayed down for long. He would find another opportunity to strike.So Gus waited. Even after hearing the news about Nexus Corp’s collapse and Liam Hayes’ arrest, he continued monitoring the accounts, tracking every purchase order.But everything went silent. It looked like Sebastian had abandoned the accounts. The last transaction he made was to Vespera Pharmaceuticals. After that, nothing.Gus knew better. Sebastian hadn’t abandoned anything. So he continued waiting for the next move.Then he caught it — a transfer.It wasn’t small enough to go unnoticed. It was massive.Five hundred million pounds.*There has to be a reason he’s spending this ridiculous amount of money,* he thought, pausing his typing. *Is he planning something against the Kingstons?

    We talked late into the night, the television long since forgotten. The conversation had drifted from the disaster of the wedding to safer, quieter topics—Finn’s new school, the security protocols for the house, the logistics of living under siege. I yawned, a jaw-cracking sound that I couldn't su

    ​Silence overtook the entire garden. It was a heavy, suffocating silence, the kind that usually precedes a natural disaster. The birds seemed to stop singing; even the wind died down, as if nature itself was holding its breath to witness the carnage.​"Rebecca, how dare you say such things at a ti

    "Are you alright?"I heard Eric’s voice, low and rumbling, but it sounded like it was coming from underwater. My mind was somewhere else, replaying the look of pure hatred on Chloe’s face. The slamming door echoed in my ears, louder than any thunder.How could I lose the one most important person i

    I asked a passing maid where Eric was, and she directed me toward the sunroom. I walked off, giving my thanks before she could even finish speaking. How dare he treat me in such a manner? I am not a child he can simply restrict from going out; I am a grown woman, and my son’s life is currently at r
