Last Updated:
2025-03-03 07:00:18That evening, Roxanne was still trying to work out the task given to her by Ciel.
She was neck deep into it and didn't realize he was standing close to her.She jolted to consciousness when he coughed slightly to get her attention.She was surprised to see him.“You said you wanted control over your life, isn't it?” Ciel said quietly. “You seem quite serious about it.”“Why are you here?” Roxanne finally asked him as she kept her expression neutral.“Well, I would like you to put a pause on what you are doing and work on this.” He said as he gave her a folder. “There is a socialite in our circle. Vivienne Montclair.”“She's highly connected, and influential, and…” Roxanne could see something like amusement in his eyes.“And?” She asked as she arched her eyebrows.“And she is presently interfering in a business deal that concerns me. I would like you to convince her to step back without it causing

Roxanne could not find any comfort in Sebastien's estate since she came because she had been thinking about her brother.She had not seen him since her sudden marriage to Ciel and had no idea what was going on with him.That morning, she was scrolling through her phone, trying to focus but the tightness in her chest would not let her.A sense of unease has been eating her up since she woke up.Reading through the message on her phone, she could not be at rest.“Roxanne, this is Finn's nurse. Your brother is not doing so well. I thought you should know. He has been asking for you, but your step mother…she will not let us get across to you directly.”It was from an unknown number.Finn.Her little brother.Her only family, who had never betrayed her.She stood up from her seat immediately. Her heart raced so fast as she held her phone tightly.She need to see him.She need to ma

Roxanne was in the car, heading back to the Sebastien mansion.There should have been a form of relief for her, going back to her husband's mansion.But she felt hollow.Her earlier confrontation with Evelyn was still fresh in her mind. Her cruel words are heavy on her chest.“You chose wealth over your family.”The guilt was coming to her mind, regardless of how she tried to keep it off.Then the car stopped at the mansion's entrance.A butler came forward to open the door, but Roxanne was quick to do that, stepping out on time.She walked briskly inside the mansion, her steps heavy.She needs time to think.And to breathe.To…“You were quick”A deep voice jolted her to consciousness of her environment.She turned to see Ciel standing in the doorway, his silver blue eyes looking at her with deep scrutiny.His expression was neutral.She he

At a ballroom, people were glowing under the light of the crystal chandeliers, as different scents mixed together.The elites in New York had come together, dressed to impress and also to Converse, mostly with ulterior motives.Roxanne was already getting used to these kinds of gatherings. But tonight, something felt off.There was this tension in the air, something she could not quite place.Her husband was beside her with his tailored black suit enhancing his sharp features.His presence commanded respect, and yet, she could feel that even he was on guard tonight.She stood close to him more, as she looked around.That was when she saw them.Devian and Reina.She felt fidgety but tried to remain calm. She can't let them see her like that.Ciel turned his head slightly when he noticed her attitude. “Relax,” he said quietly. “They are not worth your sweat.”She did not reply.

The following day, Roxanne sat on the big bed with her hands fitted into fists on her lap.The earlier events pressed down on her like an heavy weight. It was suffocating.The experience left her a bit shaken. She wondered what would have happened if Ciel had not stopped her from drinking from that cup at the event.Ciel was standing by the window across the room. His figure was outlined against the city skyline. His hand was in his pockets, but his wife could see that he was tensed.The silence between them was thick.After awhile, he finally asked.“Who did it?”She did not say anything, but it is obvious he was thinking of something.It was clear he wanted names, and answers. But above all, he wanted revenge.She breathed in and out, trying to look at him as he turned around.His eyes looked dangerous.“To be honest, I do not know.” She said with a steady voice. “And even if I knew,

The next day, Ciel took the day off work to go through some documents in his private study.He looked through the documents with his sharp eyes, feeling anger with every word he read. The truth he came to know from the documents was worse than he had initially imagined.The documents have been carefully gathered by Alex, his assistant. It contained everything about Roxanne's mother, Eleanor Renwick, who left her fortune to her two children, Roxanne and Finn.She had been thorough in her will. The wealth was meant to secure her children's future.But now, they may not be able to see a single dollar.Their father had stolen everything.He had lied to the court to forge documents, and channelled the money into secret accounts.Every single part of their inheritance had been taken away, and diverted to support Reina.Ciel felt bad as he thought of everything. Roxanne had grown up thinking she was unwanted and powerless.

At the office, Ciel's mind raced as he thought of many things. He had been thinking of Derek Renwick.The man who had taken everything from his wife, Roxanne. He confiscated her mother's fortune, which was meant to secure Roxanne's future, and that of her brother.And now, Derek had been living in wealth, from the proceeds of the inheritance meant for Roxanne, and her brother.Compared to his family, the inheritance isn't much. That's why they wanted to marry into his family initially, but it's still Roxanne's to begin with. She should not have been stripped off of it.He felt anger towards Derek.A soft knock made him conscious of his environment again.“Come in,” he answered.His ever dependable assistant, Alex, walked in with another folder in his hands. He put it on the desk in the office.“Our investigation is complete, sir,” the assistant said.“It is a lot worse than we thought.”

At the Renwick corporation headquarters, there were reporters, shareholders, and some high profile guests.There had been some rumours making rounds lately, about some secret investigations, financial troubles, and failing projects. Everyone wanted clarification, and tonight, Derek was going to make a public appearance to clear the air.When it was time, he stood tall behind a podium. He was dressed in a very nice and well tailored suit, bringing out his sharp features. He started talking after he adjusted the microphone with a calm expression.“I understand there have been some concerns regarding my company's stability,” he said with a smooth voice. “Let me make one thing clear, Renwick corporation is stronger than it has ever been. The recent setbacks are nothing but temporary blocks. We are rising.”The crowd didn't appear totally convinced but they still nodded in approval.“And to those spreading rumors and lies,

One morning at Sebastien's mansion, Roxanne was sitting on one of the leather chairs, sipping her coffee as she thought about Ciel. For the past few days, she could sense some change in his behaviors.The man who always teases her, seemed to have grown distant right before her eyes.He told her he would not let them harm her again but it was looking like it was more than that.“What is bothering you, Ciel?” She finally asked him, trying to stop the silence between them.He was sitting across from her with a tense face. He did not answer immediately she spoke to him. Instead, he focused on the documents in his hand, going through them with a slow and deliberate move.He finally placed the documents on the desk and looked at her.With a low voice, he said. “There is something about your family that I found out about. Especially your mother.”Her heart pounded in her chest. Sitting upright, she asked. “What is tha

She just sat there, looking at Ciel in silence.She was angry Reina had tried to make another attempt to seduce her husband.It was quite pathetic.She wondered what she was trying to achieve with the seduction.Was she trying to get back at her?If that is the case, is that not a weak attempt?Or could there be a deeper conspiracy at play?A target at her career, maybe?Or she was just hell bent on ruining her public image by getting involved in a scandal with her husband?That was still weak and predictable.But the fact she did made an attempt to steal her husband was something she would not forgive her for.Ciel could see the anger in her eyes.He had seen her angry before but that was something else.The look on her face was of something he could not decipher.It was not not anger.It was a cold one that could tear down Reina if she was with them at that moment.She then breathed out slowly, as her chest rose and fell in controlled breaths.“I promise. I am going to destroy her.”

As Ciel left her on the green, Reina felt indignation run through her.She stomped her feet on the green grass as heavily as possible.She was furious.She had been trying to hold the anger in.But she had to let it out now that he had left.Her perfectly done and styled hair that she had spent a considerable amount of time to get done, now felt heavy and kind of pointless.Her confidence had been at an all time high when she got here had actually shattered the moment she realized Ciel had seen through her schemes but she had kept a straight face.She could not believe it.She had been subtly mocked again.Her advances had been rejected.Ciel had not even shown any signs that whatever she did had gotten to him.He had not considered entertaining the idea of her advances.She thought she was making progress when he agreed to play a game with her.Only to realize he had agreed only to make it clear to her that she disgusted him.Her fingers clenched around the gold club as she bent down

As Ciel gathered his things in a bid to move away, his mind thought about many things.He had never been the one to indulge in meaningless conversations, but the way Reina was pursuing the conversation with him in a relentless manner was becoming amusing to him.As he turned to away, he hesitated and looked back to Reina.His lips then curled into a smirk.“You know, I heard an interesting rumor, Reina.”Raising an eyebrow, she asked with some interest.“Oh really? What kind of rumor could that be?”He calmly set his things down with an effortless grace that only added to his aura.He then tilted his head a bit, looking at her in a way that seems to be weakening every single one of her defenses.Still smirking, he said.“I heard you were pregnant.”The words came unexpectedly to Reina.It felt like a slap to her face, but she managed to keep her expression neutral.Regardless of how she tried to compose herself, she could feel her pulse quicken as she heard what he said.With a scoff,

Reina had always been a girl who got what she wanted from childhood.And it transcends into her adolescence, up till her present age.And it translated into how she relates with men.To her, she believes men are predictable in nature, and if you can offer them the right temptation, they would lose their composure and fall.It has worked a lot of times and will continue to work.She thought her dad's idea was great, but before her dad finalized his plan, she decided to try something on her own.She believes Ciel may see through what her dad was planning.He was not stupid.That she knows too well.He was a different breed of man.Therefore, she decided a one on one meeting with him first would help do the trick.The private golf club in the city was a place that is exclusively for the elites.It's a place where businessmen meet and make deals, while playing games leisurely.It's also an opportunity to waste money on drinks worth thousands of dollars.They do not hesitate to make such t

“It's cold out there. I need to get warm.”Derek told his wife as he proceeded to the living room.His mind was reeling with the fact that what he came to do had been unexpectedly easy to carry out.Reina had broken up with Devian.He had not expected that.He was here to try to convince her to temporarily abandon Devian in pursuit of what he wants her to do for him.Because he knew how stubborn she could be when she was being persuaded.But she had already left him on her own.The revelation made him smile as he walked to a seat.This was really perfect.At Least the burden of being a manipulative father, trying to pressurize his daughter into making a difficult choice she may not want to make is off his chest.The choice had already been made before he came around.And now, it aligns perfectly with his plans.She was free, and will be unbothered by the distraction of a lover who may want to get in the way of his plans.That said, this means she would be able to use her charms to the

Derek went to his mansion after he left Bellamy Couture.He stared at the big iron gates in front of his house.It symbolizes dominance to him, which was why he had it then.This house has always been his pride and his fortress.Where he had made many of the plans that were meant to progress the family's legacy.Now, it felt like a foreign place to him as he stood outside the gates.But it was his.He had to go in.He adjusted his cap on his head, pulling it lower over his face.He was not sure if his wife would recognize him like this.But he does not care at this point.He just wanted to see them.He felt like he had been left behind and the world moved on without him since he was in the police cell.He was beginning to think why he bothered with a disguise when he came.But he had always been cautious.It was a habit he could not shake off.Not especially now that he had a plan.The humiliation he had suffered at his late wife's company was not something he could easily erase from

He looked at himself from head to toe using the glass of the building.He felt sorry for himself.Adjusting himself, he started to move slowly.He had no clear destination in mind but he could not continue to stay here.It was one thing to be humiliated by his daughter.It was another thing for others to think he was an imposter.As he did not clearly look like the Derek Renwick they once knew.And given everything the receptionist said, it was obvious no one believes he could have a chance in his daughter's life again after all he did to her.As he moved, the cold wind did not help matters.It bit him sharply.The humiliation still burns him like a red fire.He had come here to at least, make peace, but was not expecting it to be easy, however the hostility he got was something he never planned for.Roxanne had dismissed him utterly and nonchalantly.His own daughter.She was contemptuous with the way she looked at him.It was like he was nothing more than a dirt on the floor under h

And for the first time in a long while, Derek felt nervous.He had not felt this way before now.All his business life, he had walked into buildings with his head high, because he knew everyone around him would bow to his authority.He had always commanded respect whenever he went effortlessly, and used power like a tool.But today, as he stood before the big entrance of his late wife's company, the mother of Roxanne, Bellamy Couture, he felt like he had never been there before.He felt like a beggar coming to beg for alms.He was dressed in an old, nondescript coat.He had a cap pulled over his face very low.He does not look like the man who had been the largest shareholder of this company.He was, however, not here as Derek Renwick, former largest shareholder.He was here under disguise as a father, one who was desperately hoping to seek an audience with his daughter he had once thrown aside.He looked at the glass doors, looking so large before him.It shone under the midmorning s

He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.Luck was on his side.It was just about time for the broadcast of the latest business news in town.He was glued to the TV, waiting to see what was going to happen.His eyes rolled as he saw what was happening.His hands trembled as he tried to steady it against his thighs.“And in today's news, we bring to you the recent updates from Bellamy Couture, the company has been on a steady rise since its newly appointed CEO, Roxanne Sebastien, resumed office. The company had already secured high profile partnership deals, leveraging on the star power of the CEO, which also proves her capability in the highly competitive fashion industry.”She paused before she continued.“Experts predict that this new change in the company, under the new leadership will bring about numerous progress and soon enough, the company will surpass its previous records.
