Susan's POVInstead, he took his time to console me. “I hate to see you like this. I wished there was something I could have done to help out. Unfortunately, my Uncle decided today of all days to hate me,” “What did you do to him? It took a while for you to notice. His actions towards you showed how uncomfortable your presence made him feel,” I questioned Paul.“Honestly, I wouldn't know. The same way he and my Father never liked each other. It's such a pity that he extended the rivalry to me,” Paul explained. While he talked, I had a divided attention when I saw someone approaching from a distance. A second glance revealed it was Angela, Ethan's stepmother. I needed to clean my eyes to be certain it wasn't a hallucination. Just like me, Paul spotted Angela after trailing my gaze. “Isn't Angela approaching us? What does she want?”“What does she want? Isn't it obvious that she came to finish the dirty job?” I replied harshly. “You know what? I don't care what she came for

Susan's Point Of View “That's the shit I'm referring to," I gave him a high five out of excitement.My Joy knew no bounds. I could feel some butterflies in my belly as though I just won the lottery. “You should know your room already. Today has been hectic. Tomorrow promises are even bigger,” Paul said. He's finally come out of his state of confusion. As he was about to leave, my phone rang. I literally exhausted my strength.It took me a while to get to where the phone was. And when I grabbed the phone, I saw Ethan's name popped on my screen Instantly, I had a mood swing. When I thought I'd be going to bed with a happy soul, Ethan's unexpected call ruined the party. Paul said something and I failed to respond. That was the moment he knew something was wrong.“It's Ethan, right?” He returned to me.I tried to deny who the caller was, but it wasn't working.Paul already caught my secret, which made it difficult for me to deny it further. “Fine! It's Ethan, but I don't want

Tony Woods POV“Yes, your wife, Mr. Woods. And you might want to pay attention to me to experience a longer life span. Kicking us out of your office might be detrimental to your existence.” Paul said to me. His utterances conveyed so much authority I hadn't witnessed before.I saw a different Paul.He didn't speak to me in that tone when he visited my mansion with Susan last night.I can't help but wonder what might have gotten into him.Hearing Paul speak made me more angry, and I didn't hesitate to yell at him. “Paul, one more word from you and I'll kick your ass. Haven't I warned you never to say a word?” Just like the last time, I thought yelling at Paul would make him panic and stop talking. However, I was wrong. Rather than sealing his lips for eternity, Paul went all out to confront me. His voice was so loud that it got the attention of my office assistant who showed up looking so worried. “Boss, I heard a scream from your office. I had to rush down here immediately. D

Tony Woods POV“Are you sure you really want to do this, sir? It'll surely break your heart. I might decline the call if you want me to. You don't have to force yourself and do this," Paul asked me for clarity. He needed to be certain that I was making the right choice. It was a simple question, yet difficult to respond to. I wasn't even certain what I wanted anymore, even though I asked them for more. That one question from Paul shattered the thoughts in my head.I wanted to satisfy my curiosity quickly. At the same time, I would rather not have my heart broken.Devastated, I rested my head on the desk like a lost soup while making the deliberation within me.While trying to decide for myself, Paul's phone rang again. Without asking further questions, I knew it was Angela calling again.“Uncle, she's calling again. Do you really want me to answer the phone?” Paul asked me. My heart was beating faster.

Tony Woods POVWith him on my side as my lawyer, we haven't lost a single legal battle. I don't see how Angela is going to escape this. “I got your text and got here as fast as I could. The tone of the text sounded pretty urgent. What do you want to discuss? Is there a problem we should be worried about?” Marcus asked me after we had exchanged pleasantries and laughed at each other's jokes. He hasn't settled down, and he's already throwing questions at me like an atomic bomb.I wanted to initiate the conversation when I heard funny movements outside my office. Instantly, I halted and leaned my ears forward to observe the sound again “Is anything the matter? Why are you acting weird?” Marcus called my attention after he noticed how silent and observant I'd been over the last couple of minutes. “Give me a second, please. I need to sort something out,” I pleaded with Marcus. Not satisfied, I sneaked to the door and carefully opened it to scan the areas thoroughly. Unfortunately,
