The weight of the situation pressed on him like a crushing tide. The company’s reputation, carefully built over decades, was crumbling before his eyes. This wasn’t just a bad day—it was the worst disaster the company had ever faced. The shrill ring of the phone cut through the silence, further fray
Donald shook his head, unconvinced. “It’s not just Victor. It’s your whole family, William. That video—it’s horrendous. You wouldn't believe that my wife cried when she saw it. Do you realize how this makes us look?” He said, his displeasure evident in his voice. Brian chimed in, his tone biting. “

In the heart of the bustling city, the King’s Conglomerate towering building gleamed under the midday sun. The gold-coated letters of the company name shone brightly on the façade, a testament to the success of one of the most powerful corporations in the region. On the 90th floor, Alexander King s
Edward turned off the TV quickly, still startled by Alex's reaction. He had seen Alex angry before, but this was different, fiercer, more personal. “Is this why Nicholas isn't answering my calls earlier?" Chris asked, remembering how Nicholas was hanging up his calls and when he called his secreta

……… The next day, Rose dressed carefully for the press conference. She applied a touch of makeup to cover her bruises, though some marks were still visible. She chose a white summer dress, its delicate design giving her an air of fragility. When she descended the stairs, Beatrice was waiting, her
They began the game in silence, the soft clink of chess pieces the only sound. Frank’s moves were calculated, deliberate, but he quickly realized Rose wasn’t an easy opponent. Her strategy was sharp, her responses precise, and it wasn’t long before she had him on the defensive. Frank leaned back in
Rose smiled, caught between the two. “I… I didn’t mean to start a competition!” she said, laughing lightly. Frank chuckled and placed a hand on Anne’s shoulder. “It’s not a competition, dear,” he said softly, his voice carrying a reassuring note. “Let her call us whatever she feels comfortable with
********* The grandeur of the Anderson Ancestral home was as breathtaking as ever, with its ornate architecture and sprawling gardens. Though Rose had visited before, this time felt different. It wasn’t a casual visit—it was her escape, her refuge after the chaos at the Gray mansion. Julian guided

‘My wife is right. She's changed. She's plotting something,’ William thought, his suspicions solidifying. "So, she’s put her guard up against me," he muttered in a tone only he can hear, his expression darkening. If that’s the case, I’ll have to get rid of her soon. But the tens of billions he cra
