Lena's hand trembled as she read through it.And even as it was clear her mom had made her sign it at her young age, she still felt sceptical about the entire thing. Mira stepped closer, peering at her face with concern. "You're really going to do this?" Lena hesitated flipping a page, her eyes resting on a birth certificate and a picture of her and her mom. She picked it up and shut the file, stared at her smile, which exposed her two front teeth, which were so tiny and almost hard to seeHer mom looked very happy holding her and though Lena only had a very faint memory of her mom, she could tell life was a lot better when her mom was around."She's beautiful." Mira said, stepping closer to Lena and looking over her shoulder. Lena smiled and placed the picture back into the file. "Even if they'd gotten to the file, I'd already signed it." She whispered, flipping more pages."So you're really going to take it?" Mira asked once more. Lena turned to her and sighed. For a moment, s

Thane swallowed hard, but kept his eyes on Lena. Deep down, he felt a strange relief-like a weight had been lifted off his chest."What are you talking about, Thane?" Lena asked again, her brows still knitted together in confusion and annoyance at his silence.Thane remained silent, unable to find the right words.Suddenly, Lena slapped her hand on her forehead. "Oh, my god. Please tell me you're not saying what I think you're saying."Thane leaned in slightly, his voice low. "I'm sorry." He reached he'd for her hand, but Lena pulled away.Lena turned to him, her chest tightening. "So you're telling me you didn't take my necklace to protect me? You took it because you wanted the documents-to take control?"Thane hesitated. "It wasn't my initial intention-""But that's what you planned." Lena shot back, her voice serious and demanding the truth.Thane sighed, giving up. "Yes."Tears stung Lena's lids, and she blinked multiple times to hold them in, her gaze shifting from Thane.'Are th

Thane pulled on his shirt and fastened its buttons, trying to focus his mind on the workload he had to attend to at his companies and not the fact that his mom had almost made him miss a million dollar meeting the other day."You know that's not possible, Thane. I can't say this enough." She'd said. "You need it as much as I want it."Those words had pissed him off so much that he had left the office immediately after the meeting and gone straight home-just to make sure she wasn't still there waiting for him.'She deserves everything coming to her,' he said in his head, forcing a frown back so it didn't ruin his day. He pulled out his drawer and searched it for the one cufflink he'd caught Lena staring at once, and put it on. Ready for a sip and talk meeting with some officials. If his mother still refused to back off from her ambitions, then fine-she could go be someone else's mother.He double checked if he had everything he needed for the day, then walked out the door. He hadn't

Lena's fingers trembled as she flipped the pages, her hand stopping at the copy of the birth certificate which her mother, Victoria, had stuck in there along with other documents.This was a big decision for her, and she wasn't sure she'd be able to handle it.'I promise, that's not going to be a problem.' she recalled what she'd said to Cecil.'How the fuck is it not going to be a problem?!' she groaned in her mind, suddenly feeling stupid.Where the hell did she even gather so much guts from?She shut her eyes and muttered, "Stupid, stupid, stupid." Smacking her forehead repeatedly. She had unknowingly declared war on Cecil.How the fuck is she going to convince Cecil and the others sign the handover?'But it doesn't matter, does it?' she finally said, trying to calm herself. 'I don't need them to sign it before I take over. Mom left everything I needed, and-'A sudden knock snapped her out of her thoughts.Lena quickly shut the file and shoved it under the pillow just as Alex walk

"What the fuck do you want from me Thane?!" She yelled, her chest heaving as she stared at him with red teary eyes.Some of her hair had flown in her face from the struggle making her look like a miserable little lady.Well...technically...she is.Her heart was heavy and she just felt no good on the inside no matter how she tried to shake the feeling.Now her so-called husband was trying to frustrate her efforts to put her past behind.She sniffed, fighting back a sob. "What do you want from me Thane? What?!" she shouted, her voice breaking. "I have tried everything I can to show you how much I care about you but you're just some ungrateful asshole!"Her voice shook with frustration. "I've tried to see through your fucking flaws. I've respected you and your family, I've taken insults and endured their mockery but what did they do? They killed my baby!" Tears now flowed freely down her cheeks, her face reddening. Her head began to ache and she brought her voice down. "And what did you
