Chapter 20Zander's POV "Thank you for your contribution, we'll make sure to get back to you once we've found the best teams we can find," I said, gesturing for the man to leave. He nodded curtly and turned towards the door when my phone rang.He paused, glancing back at me."Lead him out Xavier, and you come back," I ordered, my eyes narrowing at the unnamed number flashing on the screen."Is it still the same person?" Xavier asked and I nodded, swiping the green button."It took you a while to pick up the call, Mr. Zander, how long were you going to stew about the billions you've lost these past few days," The voice mocked, laughing scornfully over the phone."And how did you know about that?" I demanded, gripping the phone tighter."I know many things that you think I do Zander," the voice said again, chuckling darkly."You must realize that whoever told you about what's happening in my company will go down with you," I said, my tone sharp and filled with menace at nonchalant laug

Chapter 19Zander's POV "Mr Zander," Xavier called, stepping into the office. "What's the news?" I asked, turning to look at him."We've managed to pull down all the news and information that spread the news about you," He said and I turned with a bitter scoff."You think that's going to change anything?" I asked. "I believe that it will, various content come up on the Internet and it'll be soon forgotten," Xavier said, looking up at me."I'm pretty sure you know very well how the company stocks have been dropping in the past few days, I'm losing billions because of this fucking news Xavier," I said, barely holding back my anger."Have you gotten any leads on the call and who leaked the news?" I asked, but he shook his head."We've been reaching a dead end every time we were close to finding out the person who posted it," he said, making me clench my fist."We think it might have been made from a burner account,""And the call?" I asked again."There has been no lead about it, decry

Chapter 18 Aretha's POVI woke up to the soft beeping of a monitor and the faint murmur of voices outside the door. My body felt heavy, but the stabbing pain in my abdomen had dulled to a manageable ache. The sterile scent of the hospital filled my senses as I blinked, adjusting to the dim light of the room."She's awake," a female voice said softly. My eyes darted to the figure sitting by my bedside—Doctor Liam. He had already changed into his scrubs, and his eyes were shadowed with fatigue."How are you feeling?" he asked, his voice gentle as he leaned closer.I swallowed, my throat dry. "Better... I think." My hand instinctively went to my stomach. "The babies...?""They’re fine," he assured me, a small smile breaking through his exhaustion. "You gave us all a scare, but they’re strong. Just like their mother."I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding, tears pooling in my eyes again. Relief, exhaustion, and gratitude all mingled together, leaving me speechless."You need

Chapter 17Aretha’s POVThe house felt unusually quiet as I sat on the bathroom floor, throwing up everything that was in my stomach. My eyes were getting blurry and I could feel myself losing strength. The thought of falling unconscious in the bathroom irked me together with the disgusting sight of the puke splattered across the sink.I switched the flush, watching the puke go down the drain, and moved to leave the bathroom, holding the door knob when I felt my knees buckle to nothing. It turned to jelly as I fell back to the floor, clutching my stomach protectively.I winched in pain, batting my eyelids to hold back the tears that brimmed in my eyes as I gripped the door again, moving to get up. My fingers grazed the wooden frame of the door, but I fell back again, hitting my back against the tiled walls.I could see the splinters from my fingers on the door and the throbbing ache of my fingers a painful sensation shooting through my body.I shifted slightly, hoping the discomfort w

Chapter 16Aretha's POV "I wrapped my hands around my body, the biting winter seeping through my coat made my body shudder, a nauseous wave hit me as I stepped down from the car and approached the hospital's entrance."Miss Aretha," a familiar voice called out, pulling my attention.Doctor Liam, my attending doctor called from a distance as I stepped into the hospital, a smile washing on his face as he strode towards me."Doctor Liam," I greeted, accompanied by a slight bow of my head."You shouldn't do that, you're in your first trimester and unnecessary strain could lead to complications," He cautioned, moving to take my bag from me."I know you have other important things to do, you should leave to do that and not waste your time with me," I said, haggling the bag from him."Every patient is important," he said with a small smile."But you, Miss Aretha, are most important to me," he said, managing to tear a laugh from my lips.My eyes didn't evade the countless numbers of girls, p

Chapter 15Zander's POVI stared down at the ruin my office had turned into. Papers were scattered everywhere, chairs overturned, and shards of broken glasses glinted on the floor. The once-spotless symbol of my dominance...power now mirrored the storm raging inside me."Fuck!" I roared, slamming my fist into the desk with all the force I could muster. The wood splintered beneath my hand, a jagged crack running through the center. Pain shot through my knuckles as blood seeped from the fresh wound, staining the ruined surface. I didn't care. The pain felt like a perfect escape from the burning emotion inside me.The sharp, intrusive buzz of my phone cut through the chaos, vibrating on the floor where it had landed in my earlier fury. I bent down, picking it up with bloodied fingers, and glared at the screen. The number was blocked.I frowned my instincts immediately on high alert. Few people dared to call me directly, and fewer still would do so anonymously. But now wasn't the time to
