The basement had everything, from swimming pools, and gyms, to movie rooms. Even though some corridors were password-locked, and she could not access them, Carol had a feeling that the places she could not go held even more secrets. The secrets were like the scars on Titus’s chest. She only knew th
“You just want all the shareholders to think that you’re useless so that they will make you step down as the president! That way, you will no longer have the excuse to not take over the company! Then, when my health fails, and I have no other choice, I will have to hand over the company to one of yo
Titus had never been able to get over his mother’s death. Whenever he tried persuading himself to give up and not look into the matter, Abatus and Melecio would show their claws and send assassins after him to kill him. Due to them never giving up, Titus became sure of his theory: they had somethin
Even Myka said that Titus was an idiot. “That’s 30% shares! And he just gave it away? If he has so much money, he could have just given it to me!”Sirius gave her a look and put down his cutlery to wipe the grease stain off her mouth with a napkin. “It’s not as it seems. Titus gave up the shares for
When Sirius arrived at Riverbank International, he was not allowed entry. “Sorry, Mr. Sirius. Mr. Titus mentioned before that no one is allowed to enter without his permission.”“Not even me?” Sirius was in disbelief. “You’re not the only one. Even Mr. Richard will need Mr. Titus’s permission to g
Aster gave her the stink eye. “If I had any other way, I wouldn’t have suggested something so dirty.”If he were not worried that someone in Franca would stir up his grandfather’s ire against him, he would have charged into Riverbank International with a group of people, because his instincts were t
When she saw no flicker of emotion in Titus’s dark eyes, Carol grew bolder and pulled her leg up his trousers. She used her toes to rub against his leg like a cat scratching at something. “Do you know what you’re doing?” Titus stared at her indifferently and disdainfully. But Carol just smiled. “O
And, of course, Carol noticed that Titus had been avoiding her. He had come back only at the crack of dawn for several days, and when he did, he went straight to his own bedroom. When she woke up the next day, he was nowhere to be found. Perhaps he was almost getting tired of her. When a man no lo
Since then, the Fritzgerald family fell from grace, and the shock was so great that Robin died in prison. During the funeral, Aster stared at Robin’s photo on his tombstone and smiled. “See, Grandpa? I still managed to destroy the Fritzgerald family’s cage in this timeline.”The Fritzgerald Corpora
“I know that you’re trying to fool me into becoming your puppet again. Over the past decade, I worked hard for Fritzgerald Corporation. I did whatever you asked me to, but I won’t listen to you when it comes to marrying someone who will spend the rest of her days with me. If you really want a puppet
Sirius could not figure out what she meant and could only nod. Myka did not want to stay here any longer and left to look for Aster. He was at the door of the doctor’s office. By the looks of it, he had just come out. “Well? I’m fine, aren’t I? I told you I was.”Aster ruffled her hair affectionat
He took over the report from Myka’s hands and took a look. But it only made him angrier. “You’re pregnant?”Myka slapped her hand over her forehead. She did not even have the time to explain what had happened and could only say, “Look at the name.”Feeling skeptical, Sirius checked the name, only to
What she said made Aster so happy that he rushed over to Myka like a child and kissed her forehead gently. “Alright, sweetheart.”If she were not injured, he would have picked her up and twirled her around simply because he was too happy. After Aster bade her goodnight, he turned the lights off for
In her despair, she gave up on fighting back. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot from outside. The three men were shocked. Did they interrupt some trade between criminal organizations? If that was the case, they could not stay anymore. They had to leave. But soon after they stepped out, they retreated.
She reached the third floor. The two men were about to meet up with the man on the first floor. Myka quickly went to the second floor. She had to seize the chance to jump. Otherwise, when the three of them came up to look for her, she would have a hard time escaping. Myka looked out one of the wind
Those two men did not search quickly. She only heard them getting closer after more than one hour passed. They were right outside. They had even entered the apartment. Myka held her breath. Her heart raced. “There’s a closet here. She might be hiding inside.”“Are you blind? The drawers are small
Robin hung up. All he could think about was what Aster told him just now. He wanted familial love? What a joke! The Fritzgerald family had built a business empire. If they had let themselves be controlled by those useless emotions, their empire would have fallen to ruins a long time ago!He answere
