"But," Santino continues, his voice catching, "things changed. Sandra's feelings for you... they evolved into something beyond friendship. She fell hard for you, Xavier. And when you started dating Alexandra, it devastated her." ''But how did you not recognize her or were you protecting her all along?'' ''No, not at all. I would never do that to you.''

I stood there amidst the flashing cameras and the eager chatter of reporters, my eyes fixed on Sandra as she confidently accepted the title of Chief Financial Officer of King Tech. A wave of disbelief surged through me, accompanied by a sharp pang of anger. This was not how things were supposed to go down. But I couldn't let my emotions show, not in front of the media. As the applause and questions filled the room, I forced myself to maintain a composed exterior. Inside, however, a tempest of thoughts raged. How had she managed to orchestrate this so perfectly? How had she manipulated the board, the media, and even my closest allies to ensure her rise to power? I had always known Sandra was ambitious, but I never fathomed the extent of her ruthlessness. It was a bitter realization that left a bitter taste in my mouth. The company that I had poured my heart and soul into was slipping through my fingers, and there she stood, the orchestrator of it all, basking in the spotlight what was

But now, their expressions are a mix of doubt and suspicion. I can sense the shift in the dynamics, the undercurrents of betrayal that have infiltrated even the closest of my allies especially when I had frozen the accounts. I called this emergency meeting to address the recent allegations and scandals that have rocked our company. The media storm, the accusations, and the subsequent investigation had caught us off guard. I had been working tirelessly to salvage our reputation, find the truth and clear our name. But now, facing these once loyal faces, I can't shake the feeling that something has changed. So much is piling up and now there is no certainty on who can be trusted.

Leah's POV As I wake up in the morning, I find the space beside me in bed empty. Xavier must have already left for work, not wanting to disturb my much-needed rest. I appreciate his concern, but I wish he had woken me. I hate feeling like he's carrying all of this alone. I push myself out of bed, still feeling the exhaustion from the events of the previous day and the pregnancy was not helping not that I'm complaining. The scandal, the accusations, and the constant media attention have taken a toll on me. I make my way to the kitchen, craving a cup of warm tea to soothe my nerves. Just as I'm pouring the water, my phone rings. I pick it up and see a familiar number flashing on the screen. Curiosity gets the better of me, and I answer. She still has a lot of questions to answer anyway. "Hello?" Her voice on the other end sounds broken, sobbing softly. Sandra rarely cries, so something about this feels off. "Leah," she manages to choke out between sobs, "it's Sandra. I need your he

Xavier's POV Leah falls asleep on the way back home, her exhaustion evident after the emotional rollercoaster we had been through. As I watch her peaceful expression, my mind still racing with thoughts. Emily's revelation about Kendra being the mastermind behind the scandal has shaken me to my core. But there was something else that was bothering me, a lingering suspicion that I couldn't shake off. Especially the stunt pulled the time she came to my house and at the funeral. Sandra's sudden involvement and determination to help us had set off alarms in my mind. Her connection to Emily, her knowledge of the scandal, and the way she was pushing us to pursue this investigation all seemed too convenient.

I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the pregnancy scandal than meet the eye. The timing was too perfect, too convenient. I had to find out who was behind this, who wanted to tear us apart. But then this war began before I was even in the picture but I will not let anyone harm my child again even if it means killing again I will do it. I pick up my phone and dial Xavier's number. He answers after a couple of rings. "Leah, I'm on my way to you," he says, his voice carrying a mix of concern and urgency. "Xavier, we need to talk," I reply, my tone resolute. "I know, baby. We will talk as soon as I get there." "No, Xavier, this can't wait. I need to know who's behind that scandal. The timing is too suspicious." There is a moment of silence on the other end of the line. "Leah, I have my suspicions too. I'll be there soon, and we'll figure this out together." As I hung up, a knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. Sandra stands there with a determined expression.
