Finally, the issue with his uncle had been settled, though not without a storm that shook the Richardson family to its core.

His grandfather, who seldom involved himself in the company disputes after he handed it over to Ethan —had finally stepped in.

The old man despised Ethan’s methods and despised the audacity with which his grandson challenged the family’s long-standing power, but in the end, even he had no choice but to acknowledge the truth.

The theft was undeniable. The betrayal was undeniable.

Ethan, as CEO, had every right to purge the company of its leeches.

But since when did Ethan give a damn about his grandfather’s approval anyway?

He leaned back in his chair earlier, a cold smirk curving his lips as the memory replayed in his mind.

'They can hate me. They can curse my name. But they will never control me again.' He thought to himself.

He was the CEO. The power was his. The decisions were his. If he had to strip his own bloodline bare and toss them into the gutter, he w

    Claire could feel it... the old, ingrained power struggle of a family used to eating its own. This whole thing felt like a movie or a novel to her. Family politics!Jessica’s eyes landed on Claire as if now realizing that she was there.Claire smiled sweetly and waved a hand at them. “Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just the one who found the evidence. And... uhm... we were discussing the situation when you two entered. ”Jessica’s eyes flicked to her. “So you’re the genius accountant-slash-detective Ethan’s been hiding. Impressive.” Jessica joked.“Actually,” Claire replied, her tone playful, “when a man threatens the people I care about, it becomes my fight.” She then winked at Ethan.Ethan gave her a look that said Don’t push it.That’s when it happened.A sudden shift inside Claire’s mind—like a door unlocking without her consent. A warm rush of adrenaline.Scarlett stepped forward in her place, always with chaos, as if the world owed her something. She straightened her body dramatically,

    Claire was still catching her breath when Ethan finally pulled away from their kiss.They were more like a couple now after their late-night conversation about their relationship. Ethan’s gaze lingered on her like he wasn’t quite ready to let go. The tension between them was a storm—unspoken, electric, and dangerous. They can't get enough of each other now.It's new but felt amazing... mostly for Ethan. Letting himself feel all these emotions and expressing them felt incredibly amazing. “You’re not walking into that office tomorrow,” Ethan said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.“Ethan—”“No,” he cut her off. “You’ve done enough for me already. I’ll handle Harry and the family myself. You’re staying out of it. Trust me, it's for your own sake.” He said while caressing her face. Claire’s lips curved into a sly smile. “You’re forgetting something—I don’t take orders well. I'm a boss of my own.”“I’m not ordering you,” Ethan murmured, voice low. “I’m protecting you. Just l

    “We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend,” he said finally, his tone careful. “But I care about you, Claire. You’re important to me.”The disappointment flickered across her face before she could hide it. It wasn’t enough... not for her. She wanted more than just important. She wanted something significant, something to hold on to.Claire’s shoulders squared slightly, and the familiar stubborn determination he knew so well returned to her eyes. “I want more than just ‘important’ from you, Ethan. I want to know where I stand with you.”Ethan’s jaw tightened, but not from irritation. It was self-preservation. “We may be lovers,” he said slowly, his voice low and edged with vulnerability, “but I’m not sure I’m ready for labels. I want to be sure before I give you something significant.”Claire’s gaze dropped to the floor. Those words hit harder than she’d expected. For a moment, she didn’t speak and just allowed the silence to press in on them.Ethan’s voice softened again. “It’s not that I d

    The news of Ethan’s decision to dismiss his uncle from the company continued to spread like wildfire. Every business blog, every tabloid, and every late-night talk show seemed to have something to say about it. The headlines were filled with speculation, criticism, and the kind of scandal-driven glee that only the media could manufacture.Ethan barely glanced at them anymore. He had expected the uproar—just not the suffocating intensity of it. His grandfather had been calling him nonstop for two days, his father for nearly as long, each voicemail sharper and more loaded than the last. Ethan hadn’t answered either of them. He was done. Done with the manipulation, done with the orders, done with the idea that his life was nothing more than a pawn in the family’s endless chess game.He hasn't even had the chance to search for his mother's whereabouts in the past few weeks which made him feel guilty. Ethan sat in his study as he worked on his computer nonstop. Papers were scattere

    Mia ignored his playful tone and scanned the documents again. “Harry’s playing the long game. He’ll let you think you’ve won, then hit you with something so damaging you won’t recover. My advice? Don’t let him control the narrative. Get ahead of it before it swallows you.”Ethan’s gaze lingered on her, intrigued and wary. “You talk like you’ve done this before.”“Let’s just say I know how power works.” Mia’s eyes glinted. “And how men like Harry think. I've read a lot of books and studied the human brain and how it thinks and behaves when wounded. Mostly, the person always harbors an evil mindset.”Before Ethan could press further, the shift came again. Claire blinked, momentarily disoriented, her hand still resting on the papers Mia had been handling. She glanced down, confused.“I… did I just—”“You switched,” Ethan said calmly, watching her reaction.Claire’s cheeks flushed. “I’m sorry. They can be… abrupt sometimes.”“She’s also right,” he said, surprising her. “Harry isn’t fini
