The sound of Tessa's heels echoed through the room as she and Thane walked down the grand staircase; their arms linked.

She'd had the entire staff assemble beneath the stairs and form a pathway which led to the door. Earlier, Lena had heard her whisper to Thane that she wanted to practice walking down the aisle.

The staff had their eyes on their feet as the couple passed by, and Lena just had to be on the side where Thane walked. He passed by her and the scent of his cologne sent shivers down her aching spine, making her legs tremble.

"Shit." Thane swore and abruptly paused in his tracks as they reached the door.

"What is it?" Tessa asked, startled, and a bit annoyed at his interruption.

Thane rolled up his sleeve a little and stared at his wrist. "I forgot my watch. You know I never go out without it." He replied and detangled his arm from Tessa's. "I'll go get it, quickly." He said and turned around, but Tessa held him back.

"We're going to be late for the dress fitting, Thane!" Tes

    Thane drummed his fingers on the table, staring intently at the pen case in front of him like he was wondering what material it was made of.But his mind wasn't on the case. It wasn't even present in his dimly lit study where he sat.His other hand rubbed his temple, his brows furrowed in deep thought.Dante, who was sitting across from him at the table, raised his head from his phone and looked at him.For a while, he just studied Thane as he slowly caressed his temples. Then finally, he shifted in his seat and spoke. "Tell me you're not thinking about Mom again." Thane was silent and just kept staring. Dante sighed, locking his phone and leaning back in his chair. "You're still doing this?" He asked dryly.Thane finally raised his head, his eyes raising slowly to Dante, but he maintained his frown. "How the hell is it even possible?" He muttered, his voice serious.Dante arched a brow. "How is what possible?" He asked, though he had an idea of what he might be talking about.They'

    Lena's fingers trembled as she flipped the pages, her hand stopping at the copy of the birth certificate which her mother, Victoria, had stuck in there along with other documents.This was a big decision for her, and she wasn't sure she'd be able to handle it.'I promise, that's not going to be a problem.' she recalled what she'd said to Cecil.'How the fuck is it not going to be a problem?!' she groaned in her mind, suddenly feeling stupid.Where the hell did she even gather so much guts from?She shut her eyes and muttered, "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Smacking her forehead repeatedly. She had unknowingly declared war on Cecil.How the fuck is she going to convince Cecil and the others sign the handover?'But it doesn't matter, does it?' she finally said, trying to calm herself. 'I don't need them to sign it before I take over. Mom left everything I needed, and-'A sudden knock snapped her out of her thoughts.Lena quickly shut the file and shoved it under the pillow just as Alex walk

    Lena's eyes shifted from Cecil to Thane, whose face no longer held the anger it did moments ago.The tension in the room thickened as everyone's faces held their questions.Cecil was the first to move. Her legs quickly carried her to the large dining table, her eyes fixed on the pink file. Thane, on the other hand, looked completely lost. He glanced between Lena and the file, the shock on his face saying more than words ever could.Slowly, like it was coated with fire, Cecil picked up the file and took out the documents in it with utmost carefulness.Chad moved closer.Lena broke eye contact with Thane and watched Cecil flip the pages."Oh, my God." Cecil whispered with wide eyes."Lena." Thane called, pulling his gaze away from his mom.Lena turned to him but remain silent, though she knew she had a lot of questions to answer."Where did you get this from?" Cecil finally asked, taking the words right out of everyone's lips. Lena hesitated.Thane moved closer to her, his emotions co

    Thane pulled on his shirt and fastened its buttons, trying to focus his mind on the workload he had to attend to at his companies and not the fact that his mom had almost made him miss a million dollar meeting the other day."You know that's not possible, Thane. I can't say this enough." She'd said. "You need it as much as I want it."Those words had pissed him off so much that he had left the office immediately after the meeting and gone straight home-just to make sure she wasn't still there waiting for him.'She deserves everything coming to her,' he said in his head, forcing a frown back so it didn't ruin his day. He pulled out his drawer and searched it for the one cufflink he'd caught Lena staring at once, and put it on. Ready for a sip and talk meeting with some officials. If his mother still refused to back off from her ambitions, then fine-she could go be someone else's mother.He double checked if he had everything he needed for the day, then walked out the door. He hadn't

    Dante dropped the file onto the desk with a soft thud, hoping to get Thane's attention."I have a meeting in thirty minutes. What is it?" Thane asked without looking up, his focus still on the paperwork in front of him.Dante hesitated and just watched for a moment. Then his gaze shifted, and he settled himself on the chair on his side of Thane's desk."Well, this is the file with all the locations we've searched for Bridget. You asked for it." He gestured to the folder.Thane raised his eyes to the folder for a second. "Put it away." He ordered.Dante raised a brow. "Put it away as in...stop searching for her?" Thane opened his mouth to speak, but then stopped himself from scolding Dante. "Yes, Dante. Pack it up." He simply said.Dante scoffed, amusement almost playing on his face. "Just like that?" He asked. "You're no longer interested in finding her or there's something else." Thane finally peeled his eyes off the paper and sank into his chair, his eyes fixed on Dante's.As much

    Thane swallowed hard, but kept his eyes on Lena. Deep down, he felt a strange relief-like a weight had been lifted off his chest."What are you talking about, Thane?" Lena asked again, her brows still knitted together in confusion and annoyance at his silence.Thane remained silent, unable to find the right words.Suddenly, Lena slapped her hand on her forehead. "Oh, my god. Please tell me you're not saying what I think you're saying."Thane leaned in slightly, his voice low. "I'm sorry." He reached he'd for her hand, but Lena pulled away.Lena turned to him, her chest tightening. "So you're telling me you didn't take my necklace to protect me? You took it because you wanted the documents-to take control?"Thane hesitated. "It wasn't my initial intention-""But that's what you planned." Lena shot back, her voice serious and demanding the truth.Thane sighed, giving up. "Yes."Tears stung Lena's lids, and she blinked multiple times to hold them in, her gaze shifting from Thane.'Are th
