I can’t believe Fordnast is involved in this. I was still reeling from the thought. There was no way that this could be possible.

I remembered in the future it was only Northridge that paid the price. Northridge was the only one found connected to the betting ring during that investigation.

But to find out Fordnast had a hand in it is another issue on its own.

I paced around back and forth, trying to think up a conclusion to this.

Could it be the reason Northridge was pinned or let out was beca

    The room was emptied. Everyone had left one after the other after discussing a few details.“You did great, sweetheart.” Grandpa patted my back, a triumphant smile on his face. I blushed at the praise.“Thanks, Grandpa.” I looked to the side, trying to hide my bashfulness.“It’s good to know that I had such a wise and thoughtful grandchild like you.” We stood together. I tried to offer him a seat. “Who knew Richard could raise such an outstanding child.”I frowned at the mention of my father. I didn’t want to hear it.“How did the hearing go?” I asked. I was curious for details.“Oh, it went as well as you would think.” He let out a laugh. “He was stunned, stupefied by the summon and as well the evidence. You should have seen his face, dear.”I laughed at his words. I would have given anything to see Richard’s face when the court ruled against him. “Sad that I couldn’t see it.” I bit my lower lip.Grandpa’s hand moved to the back of my neck. I flinched at his touch from instinct. “How

    I stood in front of the mirror adjusting my button up. Today would be an eventful day for me. I sighed at the thought.I had two things to take care of. One was getting through the emergency board meeting I had my grandparents organise, and two was the emergency custody hearing.With the substantial evidence I had piled against Richard, now was the time to act quickly before he made his move.I pressed the last button of my shirt to hide the marks he left me yesterday. Making sure nothing was visible. This was not for them to see. The main use for it had and would be accomplished.Apart from Katherine’s thinly veiled threat, I had not received anything from his side, which is good honestly. It would make him think I had learnt my lesson, been put in my place, and would no longer be a nuisance to him.“But you forgot one thing, Richard Voss, I am your daughter.” I smoothed down any single crease in my skirt.There was a knock at the door. I stepped back from the mirror, taking my bag a

    I drove till there were a few miles between us, until I knew he wouldn’t be able to catch me. I parked and killed the engine.The adrenaline that had been driving me finally wore off. In its place came the tears. Hot and heavy.Angry tears. Very angry tears. I tried to calm myself but it kept on coming. The more I wiped, the more was flowing.I didn’t even know why I was crying for him, or felt this way.But I just knew I was.A part of me wanted to save him as well. I thought I could help him. I had thought he was just misdirected, that he would see the light.That was my thoughts during the first few days of being back. I thought he was a victim and was just blinded by greed.I didn’t know how wrong I was by my assumption.I lay my head on the steering wheel as I cried some more. I wept for the father I wished I had and for my siblings too.The sound of my cell phone jolted me from my crying spree.I slowly reached out for it, scared it would be Richard.The name on the ID flashed D

    The events from yesterday felt like a blur. I couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that they were both hiding something from me.I didn’t have proof, so it would normally be ruled off as coincidence. It would be coincidental that they kept on running into each other.It would be coincidental that the car just smelt faintly of her perfume.It could be coincidental that Paisley looked at me like that.But I don’t run with coincidences. I prefer fact and truth. And the truth was that Paisley and Kai are more than they let on.They know something, or they were together. I didn’t understand why they hid their relationship from others.Except they didn’t want to be linked together. That was the most plausible answer.Now wasn’t the time to think about them. I had other pending issues to sort out. I will find out the connection between them.I took my bag with the folder I had arranged and walked out towards the parking lot.I got into my car and drove out into the city, most especially tow

    “What do you mean?” he asked, sounding confused by my sentence. “You found a link between our two companies?” I nodded at his words.“I found a link between both of our family businesses,” I clarified. He just looked at me, confused by my words.“I don’t understand.” He sounded puzzled. “How is there a link between both of our families’ companies? We don’t operate in the same sectors for now,” he added.Did he just say for now? Wait, what does he mean for now?Draven Industry did move to the same sector under ‘that Kai’s’ leadership. He branched out from their mode of operations.Did he already have the ideas right now?Am I reading too much into it? He is a business major as well. He wasn’t no fool.“Are you sure about this?” he beat me to it before I could ask.“Yes, my informant gave me the details about it.” I urged him to take my phone with the screen on the document Dante sent.He took it from my hand, reading the information. His eyes skimming through the screen.“Can you sen

    It had been two days since the last of the chats were leaked, and to say I was satisfied would be an understatement. I was very satisfied with the outcome of it. It was a bloody bath. Students were trending hashtags of it across the entire university and the country.It felt like déjà vu. This was how it was when the betting ring was revealed. A shudder passed through my body remembering how I had to use my grandparents’ company and connections to salvage Voss Enterprise after it went under.I clenched my fist remembering their words before I died. Taking my blood, sweat and tears and making it theirs.They are going to pay. I will make sure of it.This was just the beginning. This scandal was just a small taste of my revenge. I was going to give it what I wanted it to give.I was patiently awaiting the school’s discussion about the entire issue. I was ready to take my own course of action if I found their response inadequate.I was beginning to get antsy over everything. I hated wait
