Stephen's POVI never expected things to go south this way. I was sure I had everything covered, but the way things turned out shocked me.With my team of experts, we were able to divert the media's attention from the matter by refuting the evidence and claims and took down everything relating to the incident from the net.Patrick called me late at night to inform me of their own findings. I smelled a conspiracy with this 'Alex Johnson' personality.I contacted old friends I knew who could help me trace or identify this new shareholder but all efforts proved abortive.What was I going to do? We had less than three days before the scheduled date."What are you doing outside the balcony, dear. It's really cold out there." Stella, my wife, called out from the bedroom."Go back to bed, my love. I will join you later." I urged her, feeling apologetic for making her come outside the balcony."Why don't I stay here with you so that you can share your problems with me? Remember a problem shar

Patrick's POVEveryone was staring at the flash drive Mr. Smith was holding, their curiosity piqued.Mr. Smith handed it over to Mr. Berkeley who smirked at me before inserting the flash to a system connected to a projector.To my disbelief, I saw a video of me five years ago exchanging drugs for money discreetly in my neighborhood.The video captured the incident clearly and I became bewildered.Who took this video and kept it for five years! Why wasn't this revealed in the news too? Did Mr. Smith deliberately kept it to be used for today?Mr. Stephen had informed us earlier that he was able to find out that the news was leaked to the press from a mail linked to our company.It clearly meant that someone from the company, most likely Mr. Smith gave that video to the press. He really did save the best for the last."What do you have to say regarding this video? Would you also deny that you were not the one in the video? Or should we get a video editor to check the authenticity of this

Susan's POVFor a few days now, I have been experiencing mood swings. Patrick had been calling non stop, Isabella's tantrums had been getting on my nerves and George's....overly concerned attitude was becoming too much. He just couldn't do without informing me every second how horrible Patrick was.At a point, I had to block Patrick's number from my phone and one time, I snapped at Isabella over her incessant cries. It was becoming just too much.I have been following the news regarding Patrick and as usual, like what every other companies would do, his company claimed that it was nothing but a false rumor to tarnish Patrick's image.Of course they would say that, even though it was so clear and obvious with the evidence displayed.In no time, they had taken down the news and the media's attention was soon diverted into another gossip of a renowned celebrity whose wife found out he had been cheating on her with his secretary and they even had a child together.The people might have fo

Susan's POV"No matter what he says, don't be swayed by his words. He's nothing but a cheat and a liar." Georgina's words kept ringing in my ears after I told her about my encounter with Patrick and how he wanted us to talk.I knew Patrick would try to talk his way out and I was ready for him. I got to the noddle soup a few minutes past noon.Much hadn't really changed here. It was just like yesterday when Patrick and I often spent our date nights in this noddle shop five years ago.Whenever we had a little money to spare, we often came here and enjoyed the bustling active dramas that often took place here. There wasn't anything peculiar about the shop but with the number of people that often came here to eat, there were often disagreements, quarrels or trivial fights happening.We would laugh and joke about them and enjoy each other's company for the night. We were just perfect.This wasn't really the time to think about the past. I strode into the noodle shop and spotted Patrick at

Sebastian's POVThe situation at the office had been running smoothly since Miss Alex appeared at the company, she was truly a godsend but now, I wasn't so sure anymore. She began visiting the office more frequently to check on how things were going. Initially, this wasn't a concern, but trouble started brewing when she expressed her desire to take over Mr. Berkeley's position, which he lost during the last board meeting.Certainly, Miss Alex possessed all the necessary qualifications for the role of Director of Media, but it would be unjust to Mrs. Ford, who had recently been promoted to fill that position. From my research, Mrs. Ford had been a dedicated employee for years, working diligently for the company's growth. She was rightfully deserving of the promotion, and I was glad that Patrick had granted it to her.However, Miss Alex's persistence in demanding the position from Patrick caused a lot of commotion because Patrick declined. After her demands were denied, she left but
