“This is a free market, Mr Norwood, unless the fishermen are being taken advantage of. But according to both the fishermen and the supply chains, they have no issues with the offers from Sam’s Seafood,” the judge declared, delivering the verdict. “Therefore, I have no choice but to dismiss this lawsuit!” His words shattered my reality.

I was done for.

This was my only way out of this mess, and my business couldn’t possibly afford to slash prices to such absurd levels.

My lawyer muttered something, but I tuned him out, my gaze locked on the empty chair where that Mistry woman was supposed to be seated.

She never showed.

Her board members stood in for her, claiming she was overseas for a medical appointment.

Did that woman even exist, or was she merely a facade for these Polish men to hide behind?

I had wanted to confront that wretched woman face to face because this was now a battle, and I was prepared to drag her down to the depths of hell.

  • The Scam Called Love   Chapter 18

    ☆Samira☆I was deep in sleep, enjoying a perfect dream when a thunderous knock at the door jolted me awake.I blinked my eyes open, annoyance bubbling within me.“Ma'am! Ma'am! You need to see this!” Vin's voice echoed from the other side of the door.I hated being called "ma'am," as if I were some old woman, yet I didn’t want him to be too casual with me.Cameron had assured me that he was all business and would never overstep his bounds.But men often let their dicks do the talking. With a reluctant sigh, I pushed myself up and swung the door open, ready to give him a piece of my mind, but the worry etched on his face silenced my tongue.“Ma'am, the Cleveland Media Network just aired your imprisonment story,” he announced, placing his tablet into my hands.“What?!” I gasped, my eyes darting over the headline.“It seems Kate has made her move on the chessboard,” Vin added.I read the headline; “Owner of Sam’s Food Is A Convict Convicted of Money Laundering and Smuggling I

    ☆Kate☆When we got home, it was almost midnight. We had no choice but to allow Linda to stay with us. I did not like her but it was safe for her to stay with us for now.We needed to put our heads together just like we did four years ago.But I couldn't get any sleep. I spent the entire night glued to my phone, reaching out to anyone who might help in getting rid of that cancer.Yes, she was like a malignant growth that resurfaced just when I thought I had eradicated it, a ghost I had long since buried.The amount of disappointment burning with me was enough to burn down this entire town.Why now?Why didn't she die in prison or take her own life?What audacity brought her back into my life?This was not the Samira we once knew.Questions swirled in my mind, but I had no answers.Suddenly, my phone rang, jolting me from my thoughts.I glanced at the screen, it was my father’s friend, a number I had gotten from my mother. He held a prominent position in law enforcement.I ans

    ☆Daniel☆My fists were tightly balled and my chest weighed down, yet the moment her gaze met mine, my voice vanished again.I could see the pure hatred in her eyes, a stark contrast to the woman I once knew.The woman who always looked at me with so much love and hope.What else could I have anticipated after what I did to her, when she had been nothing but a devoted wife?“Say something! Are you really this stupid?” Kate yelled at me.“Hey hey hey,” Samira cut her off with a sly smile, “Give him a moment to gather his thoughts. So, Daniel, what were you about to say?” she continued, her confidence radiating.I had to look away again.She was… She was…I couldn’t quite put it into words, but the situation was embarrassing. “Just go,” I managed to say. “Please, leave.”“What! Are you out of your mind?” Kate lunged at me. “Did you just say please? Call security! Fine, I’ll do it myself!”“Hey, hey, it’s alright, I just came to bring flowers. Don’t they look lo

    ☆Samira☆I quickened my steps, my feet moving swiftly as I fought the urge to look behind me. Yet, a part of me was desperate to know whether that wretched old woman was still breathing. I rounded the corner, snatching a glass of wine and stood behind some flowers. The old woman was not supposed to die just yet. It was far too soon. That vile witch needed to witness her son’s downfall and then beg at my feet, pleading for mercy. For the life she took, her own grandson. She had to pay for her sins. She was going to have a front row seat to her son's downfall. I managed to look back, I could hear her son’s frantic cries for an ambulance, but I couldn’t see the old woman because a crowd had gathered them.I realized it was best to slip away, lingering would only give the impression that I cared. I would find out soon enough if she had kicked the bucket.I made my way to my car and drove off in silence, erupting into laughter as I turned a corner.That faceDan

    ☆Kate☆Scientists claim we can sense when we are on the brink of death, right before our final breath. That’s how I felt at this moment. The atmosphere around me felt thick and metallic, each breath a struggle.I was in a type of nightmare I knew I was not going to wake up from.She elegantly walked towards us like she was royalty and covered from head to toe what could cover my extravagant getaways for an entire month.And that gold necklace? It sparkled with diamonds, or so it seemed. But it was her icy gaze that truly jolted me back to reality.Her cold gaze was locked on Daniel, ignoring her surroundings.She approached, cameras flashing like paparazzi at a celebrity function.I forced a smile, gripping Daniel, who felt as rigid as a statue.I doubted he was even breathing.I scanned the scene, mortified. I tugged at Daniel’s hand again, trying to pull him out of his stupor, but he was frozen in place.Clearing my throat, I took the initiative to speak.“Sam
