“Is this what you call taking responsibility?”Richard Wadsley's voice shook the walls of his office. His fist hit forcefully on the mahogany desk, displacing a stack of financial statements across the polished surface. With her nails gnawing into her skin, Ava was frozen in front of him, her hands clenched behind her. She knew she was in trouble by the way he spoke to her on the phone, but not this. She was confused didn't understand how the number and financial statement were messed up, and she had no excuses or explanation for all the fallout. Her father's eye pierced her. "Do you even grasp the mess we are in? " Ava gulped down the ball building in her tummy. "Daddy, I---" With a sharp hand movement, Richard cut her down with a firm tone. “No, you listen. You pleaded for this charge. You told me you wanted to take full responsibility, and now, check this out! Shoving a file toward her, the red-circled numbers stood out like lacerations. The damages were enormous. Their Europe

"What's going on, Shawn? What's with all these disasters?”The words cut through the heavy tension in Henry Darlington's office. Barely inside, Shawn Darlington was paralyzed on a spot by his father's frigid voice. Henry's gaze was a mask of patient rage behind his great mahogany desk. The evidence of a disaster developing under Shawn's oversight, along with financial statements and customer agreements, was strewn across the desk. Though Shawn knew this discussion had to happen, it still does not help. His pulse throbbed in his ears, and his stomach was tight in coils. He'd been scrambling for answers the last few days, but every road led to a dead end. He took a deep breath and walked further into the office. “Sit.” Henry's voice was without warmth. Henry had been running Darlington Enterprises with firm leadership since his father handed over to him, and now he was gazing at his only son as though he were a major letdown. With slightly mildew, Shawn swallowed and slumped into th

“You still haven't changed your decision?”With arms crossed and leaning back in his chair, Ryan had a calm but strong voice. He looked Eva up so intently that she slumped a little in her chair. Away from searching eyes and ears, they were seated in a darkly lit private lounge. Eva has asked to meet to talk about the company crisis.Eva sipped her coffee before looking him right in the eye. She confessed, "yes, i have no other option." Ryan shook his head and exhaled through his mouth. "You have options, Eva. You decided not to go for it.” Eva's lips were sealed in a pout. She didn't want to argue with him, not when she had more important issues to focus on. "Let's concentrate on the investigation, that's the main reason why we are here.” Ryan sighed and leaned forward. “Sure. Fill me in.” Eva exhaled deeply and recited everything, the drug trafficking charges, the confiscated jewelry shipment, and Richard's mounting irritability. With a blank face, Ryan paid close attentiveness.

Sitting in his office, Henry Darlington's voice was cool and clipped, “We found the goods.” His fingers rapidly drummed against his desk. As he delivered the information to his son. The atmosphere around him was heavy with anxiety. His hands balled into fists, and Shawn Darlington stood across him. He had hardly slept in the aftermath of the Darlington Enterprises incident. The lost delivery, the disappeared cash, the client who cancelled, it was a never-ending nightmare. Shawn swallowed. "Really? Where?”Henry made eye contact, his piercing hazel eyes aflame with relief mixed with rage. "An empty warehouse located near downtown. An hour ago, we received a heads-up.”Shawn breathed out. Inside him battled respite, fury, and suspicion. Someone had taken their delivery and thrown it in a disused warehouse; it made no sense. Apart from a blunder, there was little more to this. “Should I inform the authorities?” Shawn asked. Henry waved his hand, “No, I already have. They will be the

“Hi, Can I come in?” Ava's voice cut through the silence in Eva's office.Eva lifted her head to see Ava standing at the entrance of her office. Her eyebrows rose in shock as she looked at her sister. Ava never visited her office if she could avoid it, and when she did, they always talked strictly about business, which sometimes ended in disagreement. But Ava's expression was totally different this time around. She looked vulnerable and calm. "What do you want?" Eva asked with a serious tone, taking her attention back to her work.Ava breathed slowly, trying to relax and choose her words carefully. "To thank you."Eva's head sank. "For what?""For what you did to the shipping case," Ava said. "I know you didn't have to do it, but you did. I just… I just wanted to thank you for it."Eva folded her arms and sat back in her chair. "I didn't do it for you."Ava attempted a smile. "I know."There was a heavy silence of things unspoken between them.Eva couldn't help but be amazed at Ava

“Pick up the damn phone, Shawn.”Ryan swore, pacing beside his car as he dialed Shawn contact perhaps the tenth time that day.But it keeps ringing without an answer. He got back into his car and glared at the screen before he sent him a text.Ryan: Call me. It's an emergency.Several minutes went by and he was still not calling him back.Ryan clenched his teeth. He'd known Shawn wouldn't be some laid-back type of individual, but this was more important than whatever he was busy with. His thumbs hovered above the phone screen as a plan formed in his head. It was insane, manipulative to say the least, but desperate men do desperate things and this was a desperate moment for him.He smiled when he sent another text message.Ryan: Eva tried to commit suicide. She's in the ER at the state hospital.He knew Shawn wouldn't be able to ignore that message. **********Ryan was crouched over his car in the hospital car park, arms crossed frowning at the door like a hawk.

"Move! " Pushing beyond the whisper of the staff, Shawn cradled Eva's unconscious form in his embrace. As he stormed out of the office with his heart pounding loudly as if it was going to pop out of his chest. Ava hurried next him, barely matching his long steps. She screamed, voice unsure and trembling, "Is she breathing?" Shawn gritted out, "Yes, but it's shallow," his grip on Eva tightened as he adjusted her body in his arms. "We have to get her to the hospital quickly.” The whole floor seemed to freeze as soon as they hit the lobby. With Shawn Darlington carrying their unconscious design team manager the employees stopped in surprise and wide eyes. "What's going on? He's carrying his ex-wife while he's dating her twin sister. "Did something happen to her?” Shawn didn't care about the murmurs, he continued walking towards the entrance. However, a sharp, commanding voice sliced through the air just as he approached the glass doors. "What on earth is going on here?" Shawn

Chapter 147"Ryan? You knew Eva was pregnant? How long have you known and hid it from us?”Eleanor Wadsley's trembling voice sliced through the strained silence of the waiting room Her usually gentle eyes now blazed with outrage, her fists clenched by her side as she moved a few steps closer to Ryan, who was standing beside shawn.Richard Wadsley beat his wife to it as he already towered over Ryan with his intimidating frame and controlled anger. “How long have you been hiding this from us?” Ryan swallowed, his legs trembling in his pants. “Uncle Richard I…I didnt mean to.” Ryan knew this day was coming but he handnt expected it to come so soon, yet he knew in the depths of his gut that there was no escape from this, he had to face it. Eva had made him promise to keep this secret and now he was facing the wrath of her parents alone."Ryan, I asked you a question," Richard snarled, pursed-tip voice full of contained fury.Ryan exhaled slowly.

The Wadsley’s mansion was filled with tension. Shawn entered the room, his piercing eyes surveying those already seated in front of him at the table in a row down the long mahogany. His father, Henry Darlington sat opposite Richard Wadsley, who presided at the head of the table, tapping fingers on the wood in a deliberate rhythm, face with an impassive mask, and Ryan Wadsley leaned back in his chair, arms folded, and nodded to greet shawn.“I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting.” he bowed before settling down and didn’t waste any seconds before speaking. "We don’t have much time." His voice cut through the stifling silence. "Uncle Victor and Norman have been one step ahead of us for so long. That ends now."Henry's expression was resolute. "We already know all their plans. With Edward's recording, we've got Victor's confession. But that will never be enough. We need more evidence to expose them publicly in front of your grandfather.”Richard's teeth were firmly gritted. "My name and

Darlington's mansion loomed over him as Shawn grasped the steering wheel with hands tightly clenched, his mind thinking a mile a minute per second. He never imagined that he would find himself here today, but with everything that had just transpired in seconds ago, he had more pressing things to attend to. All he had to do was learn.The instant he drove into the driveway, he cut off the motor and stepped out, teeth gritted in a granite smile. Air was nearly as cold as ice as he strode up to the front door.A servant flung the door wide open for him before he would have gotten there on his own two pounding feet. "Welcome home, Mr. Darlington." The maid greeted with a smile on her face.Shawn tried to greet back with a smile, but he wasn’t in the mood and he couldn’t fake it."Where's my father?" he asked immediately.Her expression changed at his cold demeanour. She could instantly tell that he was in a bad mood."Your father is in his study," She said.Shawn remained silent. He st

The ride home was silent as Ryan drove Ava home in her carAva's knuckles were whitening as her fist clenched on her laps. She could hear the sound of her heartbeat as she thought about what she was going to face when she got home.Ryan gripped tightly on the steering wheel, jaws clenched in a hard line. He was furious and seething, but beneath the anger was something else. He was supposed to be angry and yelling at her, but all he felt was pity for her.She could feel it also, she hated being treated like that- being vulnerable and pitied but that was the only thing she could hold on to now."Are you ready?" Ryan finally said, rolling up in front of the Wadsley house. The house loomed above, the lights flickered through the windows but not stopping the storm raging in Ava's brain.Her head was spinning, she let out in a soft tone "No." She shivered, her voice quivering. "But do I have a choice?”Ryan sighed and relaxed back into his seat. "You always have a choice in every decision,

There was heavy tension in the room, as Shawn's burning gaze was focused on Ava. His eyes sucked the air out of her lungs, and she stood stil with a wide eye, trembling in fear with her fist clenched on both sides."What the bloody hell are you doing here with Norman?" Shawn's tone sliced the air like a sharp blade.Ava flinched at his voice, and she stepped back, still trembling. "I—I can explain," she whispered.Shawn's face went cold. "You better have a good explanation for this."Ava's knees wobbled under her. She didn't know how much he heard or where to start her explanation from. "I didn't mean to do any of it, Shawn." she moved closer to him with tears in her eyes, hoping it would make him pity her. "I was used and manipulated by them. I swear– I would never betray you on purpose. Please believe me.”“Used and manipulated?" Shawn let out a bitter chuckle."That's your excuse?"Ava's heart crushed. He didn’t believe her. "I was scared! I was trapped and didn't know what to do.

Ava wiped her tears and shot a glare at samantha. “You knew about this too?”"Oh, come on, Ava," Samantha teased. "Don't be stupid now. We were business partners. I had no idea about your secret one night stand. I became partners with Norman after your father threatened to ruin my career, because he wanted to protect his beloved family reputation.”Ava went pale and her head spun. She thought samantha really cared about her when she advised her and helped her to get shawn back, but she had came to her with ulterior motives, and Norman was behind her all along. "You joined hands with Norman to hurt me. I've done nothing to deserve this from you, Sam.” She said with tears pouring down her eyes.Norman stepped closer, with a firm expression. “Don't play the victim here, Ava. You did everything you did for yourself. It was for your own selfish needs.”Ava wiped her tears and shot him a death glare "What are you saying?""Don't play dumb with us," Samantha cut in, "Yes, it was part of my

It was already dark when Ava stepped out of her car. The secluded building stood at the outskirts of the area and she had to walk there. Her grip tightened on the big bag she was holding as she got to the door. She took a deep breath and looked over her shoulder one more time before twisting the door handle. The creak of the open door pushed the bitter scent of scorched cement and motor oil back into her nostrils. Samatha leaned her shoulders against a pile of crates, crossed arms, pursed lips curled into a crazed smile as she saw her. Norman Darlington, however, was sitting in a comfortably broken-in leather armchair in the far corner, whiskey sloshing back and forth between his fingers. A whirlwind of excitement churned in his head as Ava walked toward him.She did not even bat an eyelid. She raised the bag she was holding and slammed it on the table in front of Norman. "There," she spat. "There's the money you both asked for. Now stop this madness before my dad's company goes ban

Henry Darlington was on his phone in his home office when he received a message from one of his clients, Edward Langstone. It was a voice message, and he wondered what was in it. He stopped what he was doing and played the message. There were murmurs of far-off voices, glass clinking, and soft music playing a party, then a familiar voice came in. "Richard Wadsley and Henry Darlington thought they were unstoppable and everyone else, or at least wished they were. They were just emotional fools. I sabotaged their business deal to ruin it in their faces, and they did not even know it was a sabotage. After all those years of friendship and partnership, it was so easy to break them apart. Without the support of each other, they are as good as weak, but my main target was Henry, I only wanted to remove Richard from the picture. “Wow, that's brilliant.” Another voice came in. “So how's the result going?” He chuckled. “Trust me, it's going great.

Ryan forced through the doors of Shawn's office without bothering to knock. His jaw was set in a line of urgency, his head a whirlwind of possibilities. The dim light inside the office cast shadows on Shawn's face, who sat behind his desk with his expression filled with controlled fury. The door slammed into the wall but shattered no portion of his stubborn fury. His fingers drummed slowly and deliberate over the fine polished wood. Ryan's pale blue eyes sparkled. "You said something about an emergency," he said, entering and closing the door. "What is it?” His voice was a little coarse and impatient Shawn exhaled, the weight of it coming down hard as it laid on his chest. He did not even look at Ryan, but instead allowed his eye to track the line of the desk in an attempt to put some sort of control on the anger in him. His tightened on the edge of the desk, and his knuckles whitened."Ava knows something.” Ryan's eyebrows sprang. "Knows something about what?"Shawn's head jerked

Ava shoved Shawn's brown front door wide open and took a deep breath, waiting there as the door creaked shut behind her. The day's activities hung heavy on her shoulders like a damp cape. And she couldn't wait to relax and have a good night's sleep. She walked in expecting to see Madam Tess all over the kitchen, but the house was quiet. It was at this time tonight that Madam Tess would be cleaning the kitchen and also preparing Shawn's study for his arrival from work. Her hand rested on the chill of the console table as she placed her handbag down. The reflex wasn't comforting. A cold, shivery scuttering feeling crawled down her spine as though someone was standing behind her, watching her.And she saw him.Shawn was at the bottom of the stairs, lit by the faint light of the hallway chandelier. One hand was in his sweatpants pocket, the other clumsily holding a tumbler of amber liquor. His eyes, which met hers, were dark and impenetrable.Ava's heart skipped a beat.She swallowed.
