Alex’s pov

“Maybe with a cloak next time? I’m tired of the same old black suit.”

I laughed. “You’re being serious?” I said when I noticed that he was not smiling at all.

“I am. We’re billionaires. Let’s turn the gala into something with fashionable dresses. Women are always the ones who are wearing fashionable clothes. Men just wear the same suit. Let me be very honest, you can wear the same suit for every single gala for ten years and nobody will know that it’s the same suit. They keep on thinking that you have enough money to throw getting black suits, but let’s be honest. We all know that so many people can repeat clothes in galas, especially the men. The women… it’s quite difficult. Wearing the same jewelry alone will get a lot of people wondering whether you have money or not.”

“So you want a fashion show.”

He shrugged. “It is a gala. We can try. And I wish it was a movie so that we can have our own music montage and show where we come out and change and stuff like that.”

    Lyon’s pov“Then you deal with it as a point of avenging your family, all right? Not going ahead to be the first to throw the first punch. If you hit him first, you might lose that hand. Let him be. Don’t think of him. Paul hasn’t explicitly threatened you. Everything he has done has been for the good of the company and for his own business.“I know that he is not the best person to be around right now. And believe me, it’s coming from me. I hate him. I hate his wife. And seriously, I hate his kid. I confronted her the other day.”“Wait, you confronted her?”“Yes, before the family gala. I just wanted to tell her to stay away from Alex because I was thinking she had something to do with the newspaper thing that was happening to Alex and Dennis.”“I knew it,” I cut in. “I had the same suspicion, but I didn’t know that it was Sophia. My mind was going to Paul.”“Yeah, that whole family is weird, but let’s push that aside right now. Let’s focus on the thing that is here. We can decide to

    Lyon’s pov“The meeting we had… it wasn’t really a pleasant one. Paul already knows that you’re out to get him. He knows that anything he says could have him removed from the board meeting, and he’s trying his best to make sure he stays. He’s clinging on. No matter what you throw at him, he’s not going to budge, and he has more than seventy percent of the board on his side. It’s a losing game.”If I didn’t have the amount of shares I had in my company, I would have lost everything to Paul. But I was glad that I had enough money to still remain the top shareholder in my own company.“Well, it was a waste coming here, I guess. I just wanted to know if there was something we could do.”“We can, but not now. We can either sit and relax, have a drink and move on, or waste our time chasing after shadows. Paul is not stupid, so if you try investigating him, you’ll come up empty.”I got to my feet. “Thanks for the drink. I’ll be leaving now.”I was about to pay for it, but then he tapped the

    Lyon’s pov“I’d like to stop here,” I said to my driver, who was puzzled by it. He hesitated before slowing down in traffic.“Sir?”“Just park along the curb,” I said.“But sir, there’s a bar here. We’re not allowed to park unless we want to patronize them.”“That’s why I want to get out,” I said.He nodded and parked the car as I got out before the security guard could show up to tell us to move on. He saw me and bowed.“Is he inside?”“Yes.”He stepped back as I walked into the bar. It wasn’t rowdy this time. It was calm, and business had not started. There were a few patrons there, but they were not serious like how it was every single night.I walked to an empty cubicle to see him drinking. He was one of the board members, and he saw me and folded his arms.“Well look who decided to show up.”I smiled, sitting across from him. “Hello, Thomas. How has it been?”He shrugged. “I don’t know. What about you? You seem to be having a little trouble with the office.”“Tell me about it. I’

    Alex’s pov“What is it?” I asked him.“You have to pick up the call.”I shook my head. “No, I’m not doing that.”“Come on. You can’t keep pushing away your dad. At some point, you are going to pick up his call, and you are going to talk to him.”“No,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m not doing that. Look, all my dad has done has been to cause me problems and pain for as long as I can remember. And now you’re telling me that I need to pick up his call? And for what? What’s he going to do for me? Please.”I really wanted to argue with Dennis at this point, but it looked like he had already given up on any arguments. He just wanted peace at this point.“Fine,” I said.I then picked up the call, and I heard his voice.“Are you home?”“Yes, Dad, I am.”“All right. I’m on the interstate highway. I’ll soon be there.”“Interstate highway? Where are you going?”“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be there soon.”He cut the call as I leaned bacj and looked at Dennis who got to his feet.“I’ll have to clean u

    Sophia’s pov“It’s Lydia.”“Uh, what do you want? Money? Cash inflow doesn’t really grow from trees, you know.”“Yes, it does,” she laughed. “Anyway, I’m not calling for that. I’m just calling to know the next move.”I thought about what my father said and sighed. “There is no next move.”“What do you mean there’s no next move?” she gasped. She was already panicking. “We need to do something! The media is dry… they need news!”“I’m taking care of it, Lydia.”“I feel like you’re just laying down in your couch not doing anything but staring at your nails.”“Lydia, I’m quite busy… slumped with work.”“You work?”“I have companies under my name. Of course I work. What do you think I do all day?”“I don’t know. You do what billionaires do.”“Lydia, bye.”Before she could complain, I cut the call. I was already getting frustrated with my plans with my father. But if he was right, that meant that Dennis was about to be gone, and very soon I would have a grieving Alex.I would need to slide i
