The ink on the KuraTech merger papers was barely dry when Jude, my lead investigator, stormed into my office without knocking."What the hell is wrong with you? You dont barge into my office like that!" I yelled at him but he ignored my screams and went on to what truly mattered. He didn’t waste time with greetings, he just slid a thick manila folder across my desk.“You’ll want to see this,” he said, his voice heavy.I looked at him like he had absolutely gone mad and then I pretended to be upset before I signed and knew that his work was the only one I truly cared about at the moment. I turned the documents to a more comfortable position that I could read in and I begun to flip it open and felt my pulse spike. Inside were copies of confidential emails, internal memos, and legal drafts… all leading to one chilling truth.Alyra.Cassian.And, my stomach turned Greg, my own legal adviser.I had already knew that Alrya and Cassian were working together to accomplish their God forsake
LiamRyan looked at me like I had gone mad and I honestly could not understand why he looked surprised. Obviously, I was going to do everything in my power to make sure that Amara and I ended up together and this to me was the best plan I could come up with and also, it was going to help her image. "Are you serious right now?" He asked me, trying his very best to not laugh some more. "Yes, and I have no idea why you think I am joking. Its very obvious that this is what I should do to fix this mess that I created." "Are you out of your mind?!" Ryan shouted and stood up abruptly. "The person in question doesn't even want to talk to you. You are the same person that told me that this girl wants nothing to do with you, especially now that she has discovered exactly what you have done. My question is, if she doesnt even want to talk to you, how exactly are you going to get her to agree to marry you?" "Listen that isnt a problem okay? Amara loves me and you know she does. She also love
The report sat open on my bed, pages scattered like the wreckage of my own stupidity. Forged stamps. Bank statements. Offshore transfers. Everything Amara had tried to tell me… everything I’d refused to believe… was true.I’d destroyed her career, her company, and her name, and I’d done it with my own signature. Even if i was her worst enemy, I would not advise her to be with someone like me, someone who destroyed her so much. First, I tried to take her son away from her and now I have taken her company from her. It just seemed like I was in her life to destroy her. It felt like I was there to ruin the only good thing she had left and I would not even blame her if she choses to not forgive me. Hell, if I was in her shoes, I most definitely won't forgive myself for being that stupid and cruel. I leaned back on my bed and closed my eyes. Guilt is too small a word for what twisted in my chest. This wasn’t just regret. This was a landslide, and I was buried alive.I saw flashes of her i
Liam PovI didnt know how Amara was feeling but I could take a very close guess. She didnt say a word to me, didnt respond to any of my messages and she most definitely didnt pick my calls. I didnt need to be a soothsayer to know that by now she has seen the news and knew the part I had played in making her lose everything she had worked so hard for. This was the legacy that she wanted to give back to her son, and now because of what I have done, she may never be able to do that. I wanted to run to her and explain that I had no idea about what these two were planning. I wanted to tell her that I never wanted to hurt her and I could never hurt her. But it was very obvious that I had wanted to. My previous conversation with her were not the best and I bet she could tell that I really wanted to hurt her. After all, if I didnt, i would have never said that I want to test her. I tried one more time as I kept driving to her house but as I figured, she didnt pick. I knew she didnt want t
Liam’s POVI sat in the darkness, alone, allowing my thoughts to reign over me when suddenly, I heard someone walk in. He didnt take permission, he just barge in like he owned the place. Slowly, I lifted my heads up and I saw him. My CFO, Mr Brown. I stared at him for minutes, hoping he would just say exactly what he wanted so that I could then go about my day. But he continued to speak, not caring if I was in the mood to listen or not. "Sir, we need to talk." When I noticed that he was not going to leave my office or allow me a moment of peace without me indulging him, I sighed and did what he wanted. "How can I help you?" I asked him "Sir, the company needs the merger with KuraTech. Right now, almost all our investors knows about it and they are also looking forward to that merger. It will not only help us boost sales, but it will also go a very long way in helping us achieve what we really need to achieve before the year ends." The merger, of course. Immediately my eyes lit u
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked, praying that my doubt could not be heard from the voice my body produced.He pulled out a photograph and laid it on the table. Me. Him. Laughing on a beach. His hand at the small of my back.“No,” I breathed. “That never happened.” I said, more to myself than to anyone there. I did my very best to convince myself that all this, everything they were so hell bent on proving were just facts that they were making up. But why would they be so persistent? Did they know that somehow their sick and twisted scheme would actually work? And why was I even allowing it to work? I should not, under no circumstances should I even allow them to go ahead with this absurb plan of their to destroy me this way. I should not be giving them such opportunity but yet here I was, doubting if truly I ever had anything to do with Cassian. Maybe I did? Maybe the pictures I am seeing are not really photoshopped and something about it was true. After my company be
