CHAPTER 150: THE FAMILY MEETINGKIMBERLY:Damien and I woke up early because grandma had told us on the phone that she wanted us at the estate this Saturday morning for a crucial family meeting. I dressed in a simple cream blouse and jeans, nothing fancy. Damien wore grey sweatpants and black t-shirt.Damien looked calm beside me, but I could tell he wasn’t. His fingers tapped restlessly against his knee as the driver pulled up to the estate.When we arrived, everyone else was already seated. We greeted grandma and Kelvin before we sat downGrandma Evelyn sat on her favorite armchair, her posture firm and graceful like always. Roland, Barbra, and Faith were already there. Damien’s father, Kevin Carter, sat quietly near the fireplace, scrolling through his phone like he’d rather be anywhere else.When Grandma cleared her throat, the room instantly fell quiet.“First,” she began, her voice calm but strong, “I want to thank God for saving my grandchildren, Kim and Damien.”Her gaze shift

CHAPTER 152: FAITH WASN'T POISONED DAMIEN:“Was Faith poisoned?” I had asked the doctor.The doctor looked between Kim and me for a long moment, his face unreadable. Finally, he sighed and shook his head. “No,” he said softly. “There was no trace of poison in her system.”Kim gasped quietly beside me, and I could tell she felt relieved.“Then what happened?” I asked. The doctor was someone I knew during my college days and I was hoping he would do me this favour.“Why are you more concerned about this than her husband?” the doctor asked.I swallowed. “Doctor, we're family. I'm very concerned because if she got poisoned in our family home, then I need to do something about it fast.”“Well,” the doctor said, lowering his voice, “what we did find was… unusual. There’s a trace of a contraceptive substance in her bloodstream. A strong one. It’s interfering with the pregnancy. The baby’s heartbeat is weak — there’s about a ten percent chance of survival.”Kim blinked, her lips parting slig

CHAPTER 154: THE BOARDROOM SHOWDOWNDAMIEN:It's finally time for me to return to work after two weeks of staying at home, enjoying what could be described as a honeymoon with my wife. We no longer looked malnourished because of the days we spent in the forest. And Kim had been wonderful, taking care of me like I was truly her baby.That morning, I woke up before my alarm. Sunlight slipped through the curtains, shining on my face brightly. I opened my eyes, ready to face the day. I lay there for a few seconds, staring at the ceiling, trying to gather the strength to go back to work.Carter Corp used to feel like mine. Now, I wasn’t even sure what it was anymore.When I finally got up, Kim wasn't in bed and the smell of fresh coffee could be smelled from the kitchen. So I went to the mini kitchen upstairs to check on her. Kim was already in the kitchen, still in her night robe, her hair tied up in a messy bun.“Morning, handsome,” she said with a soft smile, sliding a steaming mug towa

CHAPTER 155: MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEAVE CARTER CORP FOR ROLAND DAMIEN:I was a bit surprised when I told Roland he wasn't going to remain in my office and he just said it didn't matter where his office was as long as he was still the CEO. I didn't know he had already vandalised my office.As I opened the door and stepped into my office after the board meeting, I froze.“What the hell…”For a moment, I just stood there, my hand still on the door handle, staring at the mess in front of me. My office looked like a war zone. The chair was snapped clean in half, the desk was cracked down the middle, and files I’d carefully arranged the last time I was here were scattered everywhere, torn to shreds. My glass plaque, the one that read “Damien Carter — CEO, Carter Corp” lay smashed on the floor, broken into ugly little pieces.I felt something twist inside my chest. My chest heaved with anger at first, and a deep, cold disbelief. Then I laughed sarcastically. Roland already knew he was a loser.

Chapter 158: A Visit from the PastDAMIEN:I had just started eating my lunch when the butler walked in, his face looking calm. “Sir, there’s someone here to see you,” he said, bowing slightly.Kim and I exchanged glances. I sighed, wiped my mouth with the napkin, and said, “Bring the guest in.”The butler nodded and walked off. I took another bite, trying to guess who could possibly show up at this hour.When the butler came back, the person behind him made me freeze. It was James Walker — Kim’s father.“Dad,” Kim whispered, already rising to her feet. But I pulled her back down.For a moment, silence stretched across the room as James stood like a statue. Kim leaned toward me and whispered, “How did he even find this place?”I whispered back, “I have no idea.”James moved closer to the dining entrance, his eyes darting from me to Kim. He looked older than I remembered — grey spreading through his hair, his face sharper, meaner maybe, but there was something softer in his eyes this
