Chapter 21

The ringCeline’s pov"The ring with a tiger statue?" I snapped out almost quickly. It resembled one I had seen in the past. The boss wore that exact ring on his slender finger, and it caught me off guard. That ring had a significant similarity to one I couldn't quite place. My thoughts raced.I leaned forward to get a closer look at the ring, to ascertain my suspicion, but this time my effort proved futile. He had his hands buried, making it impossible to get a glance. His expression remained stern, hidden behind the tinted black glasses that covered almost half of his face."Ahh, what a personality!" I sighed in frustration after fruitless attempts to take a second glance at the ring. My thoughts clouded, and my heart pounded.A few minutes later, the director came out and signaled i take the files back to the office. I waited a bit to get the precise instruction, and when it was clear, a feeling of excitement crept into my heart. I let out a sigh of relief, jolting out of the hall

Chapter 22

Pressure Harry's POVIt was just a day until Derick's birthday, and I was determined to make it memorable for him. After that day at the hospital, my love for my family grew, and I promised myself to always put them first, spending quality time with them whenever possible. I couldn't bear the thought of losing my son and beloved wife. When Louis drove back to the hospital, my heart halted momentarily. It dawned on me that I might not survive a single day if anything happened to my family.Whoever was after me might also be after my family, and I had to ensure their safety. I employed more security in the mansion to protect them when I was out of the house. As for Jack, I was determined to put him in his rightful place, but first, I had to ensure no harm came to my family. They weren't meant to be dragged into my mess and dealings. It was my battle to fight, not theirs. But the saying that "when two elephants fight, the grass suffers" surged in my heart. I refused to let that be true

Chapter 23

DiscoveryCeline’s POVThere was a tendency that I was over-calculating and overthinking. A mixed feeling of doubt and uncertainty struck my heart. It could possibly be a coincidence or a mix-up. The man in the picture was a little lighter in complexion than the boss himself. My thoughts were clouding, and my head kept calculating.“Oh Celine, snap out of it; you need rest now,” I whispered to myself, feeling weighed down by deep thoughts and unnecessarily stressing myself.I managed to freshen up, had a little to eat, and then retired to bed. However, the scene kept playing in my mind, rendering me almost broken and fazed. I drifted off to sleep, unaware that I had my hands on the picture scattered on the bed. It felt like being in the middle of the ocean with no hope of escape, just stuck. I was caged in my thoughts but needed clarity. Even if he was Williams Wood, he didn’t seem to be an easygoing person. “There, I have a problem,” I thought to myself. How do I convince him to acce

Open confrontationHarry's POV“How then do I ascertain my doubts and secure clarity?” I snapped, my words laced with fury.“I instructed you to apply force only if the doctor proved stubborn, not the other way around.” My brows furrowed as Larry communicated his failure to retrieve the information.“Boss, those people, especially the receptionist, were stepping on my toes, so I had to do what I did,” he replied, his tone quivering.I ended the damn call immediately—it was making me more upset, my brows raised. I hate incompetent people. A simple instruction couldn’t be carried out discreetly. My thoughts flew back, and I felt a pang in the atmosphere. My heart pounded at the thought of Liz. Liz was my favorite, always up and doing, never incompetent in any assignment or instruction given.Ever since his assassination, I heeded Louis's advice to remain low while secretly unfolding whoever was involved in meddling with our plans. The mafia family was one with rules. I suspected Jack al

CoincidenceHarry’s POV“I bet you've reached your last end,” he snapped angrily, scanning me from head to toe.“And what do you mean by that statement? Do you think I'm afraid of you? And to remind you, I'm not the least bit afraid of you. Instead, you should be!” I bellowed, giving him a piercing gaze, my brows furrowing.He smirked, then a frown creased his forehead. “I've always told you, you're a loser and will remain so.” He moved closer, and I closed the space between us, left in an intense gaze. Our hearts were pounding. I could feel and hear the sound of his heartbeat. It was loud, and so was mine. How could he? How did he have the nerve to stop me in my tracks? I whimpered in my heart.Still locked in an intense gaze, my eyes darkened, spine straight, and shoulders tensed.We stood in the same position for heaven knows how long before he gulped and scoffed sarcastically.“When I said you've reached your last end, I meant every single word,” he stated, his words bold and insc

Stucked?Jack's POVEver since the day I was with Emma at the hotel, I haven't gotten the chance to communicate with Celine. She practically severed ties with me, and it hurts so much because I wasn't done with her. But that aside, it's still in process. I later learned that she now works at Williams Corporation, a company owned by my mafia boss—the same one on my list of eliminations. It struck me so hard how she always finds her way wrapped around my rivals, as if she were prey to me as well.I knew Harry wasn't aware of this either, which made it a big strategy to bring him down."Boss, the mission was hijacked," he paused, his words stuttering. My eyes widened in disbelief, and my heart momentarily halted when I caught sight of him, dripping with blood stains on his sports polo. "Some armed guys attacked us, and we lost two of our men. The rest of the gang and I narrowly escaped." He finished his statement and collapsed to the ground. I was grounded in my heart, and I could feel i

Chapter 27

PAINS Celine's POVIt's been a few weeks since I uncovered the true identity of my dad, and ever since then, it's been almost impossible to meet with him one-on-one. The day of the meeting, when I realized who he was, I quickly ran back to the elevator, but it was already too late. Even if I had reached him, his bodyguards would have made sure I couldn’t approach him.I’ve been left with no clues or options on how to speak with him directly. Remembering my mother's warning only made things more difficult. How could I secure an appointment with such a powerful man if I don't explain the reason for it, not to mention disclosing where he stays, which was out of the question?I knew my chances of speaking with the boss would be slim if I tried to follow him home which was just impossible. I imagined how large his estate would be, with countless guards, which would only make it a futile effort and may expose me to danger . These thoughts had clouded my mind for the past few weeks, making

Where am i?The scent of disinfectant, the rattling sounds of movement, and the bright light made my head throb as I slowly opened my eyes in pain. I could still feel the ache in my abdomen. I remembered calling out to Evelyn in the room, but after that, I had no idea what happened.I sensed the tension in the room as my eyes fully opened."Thank goodness, you're awake," a voice surged from behind, and I gradually turned my gaze to see the doctor and nurses staring at me.I searched for Evelyn, but she was nowhere in sight, leaving me to wonder where she was and why I was alone."Doctor, where is my friend, the one who brought me here?" I inquired, my tone weak and voice strained."She's out in the waiting room. Visitors aren't allowed in here," he replied."Visitors aren't allowed in here?" Those words echoed in my mind as I wondered why and where I was."Why isn't she allowed here?" I asked."Madam, calm down. This isn't the time for that. You need all the strength you can gather to

GuiltThe moment I realized what I had just done, guilt washed over me, and I felt sorry for myself. My mom wouldn’t be pleased wherever she is, but none of that was relevant. I had to do what I had to do, to ease the burden on my heart, even though I hadn’t even realized when I let it all out.I turned my gaze to Evelyn, whose eyes were widened in disbelief, her lips parted as though she was gasping. I bit the inner layer of my lips, sensing how betrayed she felt for hiding such a delicate issue from her. Was I to blame? No, matters like this were just too complicated.I let out a sigh, took a deep breath, shrugged my shoulders, and straightened my spine."That was what I was about to tell you the other day," I expressed, my tone a mix of pain and guilt.A moment of silence filled the room, then little Henry’s voice broke it.“Ahh, he's finally awake.” I reached forward to pick him up, placing him across my lap and giggling at his tiny little face.“He's hungry, get his food,” I turn

Denied hope"What's that look for?" her voice surged with a sting of sarcasm when she noticed my intense stare of uncertainty."Who was that on the call?" I inquired, my tone unreadable."Oh, that?" She reached for her phone, unlocked it, and handed it over to me. "Take a look for yourself."I shrugged with little hesitation but took the phone from her hands to satisfy my curiosity and odd feelings."Becky?" I snapped."Yes, Becky," she blurted, giving me a staggering look that sent a shiver down my spine. The HR at Williams Corporation—what was she up to? I wondered, giving Evelyn that look that silently demanded an explanation."Well, if it may interest you, Becky's brother is Sir Williams' PA," she paused, as though expecting a wow from me, which only earned a disapproving stare as I anticipated the full story and pondered how the events would unfold."Okay?""Aren't you seeing the connection?" she teased. I was still numb as to where everything was heading. I couldn't yet comprehe
