Violet's POVFidgeting with my nails, I remained restless in my room.I couldn't just sit still and watch while everything Jason worked so hard for get ruined. I had to do something. Anything. As I reached out for my phone to call Michel, I suddenly hesitated. "Jason wouldn't be happy if he finds out about this"But just before I could put down my phone, my phone rings; displaying Michel's name on the screen. "Speaking of the devil, " I breathed outRather than finding his call suspicious, I picked up in a heartbeat. "What is it ?"Michel lets out a deep throaty chuckle. "You picked my call up within seconds. Do you miss me that bad?""I'm hanging up.""Wait!" Michel blurts out. "Let's meet up"I looked around to see if Vince was still asleep and he was. Peeping through my window, I count the number of guards outside the house.Confirming that there were none at the back of the house, I agree to Michel's demands. "Where should we meet?"I might as well use this opportunity to find o
Michel's POV"Wait" I say softly, calling Violet back. "What else do you have to say?" she grumbled. "Do you know?" I questioned. "You should never trust people so blindly""What? Was everything you said to me a lie just now?""No" I say honestly. "But I'm not talking about that"I point towards the glass of orange juice she had just drank from. "In the orange juice you drank from earlier.." I drag out slowly. "It was poisoned" I let out a long laugh as she suddenly got silent, horror masking her face. "You didn't expect it, did you?""If you don't bring the money I'd asked for in the next 24 hours" I threatened. "You die"She widened her eyes at me and I smirked."If you do, I will give you the antidote," I added. But regardless, she still didn't say anything. Shouldn't she be begging me to live? She must have thought that I was joking. As I watched Violet climb into the cab, a thin line formed across my lips as I picked up the glass of juice that she had drunk from. I waited for
Jason's POVAfter meeting with Martin and Charles, I'd gone back to the company to attend to the appointments I'd made my assistant push back. "One of the clients is already here," Alex, my assistant, informed me. "She's waiting in your office"I nod my head, making my way to my office. Pushing the door opened, I see a red haired lady with black sunglasses on. Her legs were crossed and her arms folded. Her name is Veronica Park, one of the most influential business women there was in the industry. She made her fashion brand and clothing line from scratch with her own efforts….impressive, right? "This would be the second time you are pushing back an appointment with me" Veronica took off her glasses. "Are you openly telling me that you don't want this partnership anymore?"I walked over to my seat. "I apologise. Something important came--" My phone chimed interrupting me. I'd looked from Veronica's stern face to my phone. "Just a minute"I'd picked up my phone and saw that I'd rece
Rachel's POVI never expected that Jason would be so good to have come straight to the police station with such evidence. He must have been crazy for that bitch. If I had known that shw would be able to capture his heart, I would have taken care of her for a long time.Well I'm still glad because I have grandpa Clarksville at my side. He'll definitely be of use to me. "Let's go home, honey" My parents advised as we left the station after seeing grandpa Clarksville off. "You and father should get going," I responded. "I have someone I want to visit""Be safe then" Father advises me before climbing into his car.As I watched the car disappear into a tiny dot, I pulled out my phone; calling Michel. "Hey!" I screamed immediately he answered. "Where are you?""Stop shouting" He draws out. What? Was he actually kidding me? I'd paid a whole 2 million fucking dollars and he failed to get the job done and what? I should stop shouting? Taking in consecutive deep breaths, I questioned. "Whe
Jason's POVThe next day over at the company, the air seemed tense as I walked in. Everyone seemed to be staring at me muttering something under their breath. My assistant approached me."Sir, we have a problem""What is it?""Your grandfather is here. He's in the meeting room with the board of directors"I furrowed my brow in confusion; Grandfather was here?. Hurrying up with my steps, I made my way towards the meeting room. Pushing the door open, my body shivered in the tense air. Fixing my gaze at grandfather; I questioned, nervously. "Grandfather, when did you start having a meeting without me?"Grandfather didn't regard me but rather kept talking with the board of directors. "So the reason why I called you all here is this; I came to announce to everyone that I will be choosing another person for the CEO position""What do you mean by that?" One of the directors inquired. "Exactly what I said" Grandfather reiterated. "Because from today Jason has been stripped off that posi
Jason's POVAfter the recent discovery, I didn't say anything; didn't approach Rachel nor Camille as I didn't want them to get suspicious of what I knew already while Martin, Charles and I kept on gathering more evidence against Camille preparing our big reveal during his company's project announcement which was apparently in the next one week. As the day of the big reveal drew closer, Violet was edgy. "Are you sure about this?""Yes," I assured her. "This would definitely put Rachel away for good and expose Camile's real face""That's a relief""And you?""What about me?""We still haven't heard anything about Michel. How are you coping with all that?""It was self-defence" She responds. "If it weren't him, it would have been me" "That's right," I agreed, embracing her. " Moreover he said he has the antidote with him and was going to give me if I bring him a hundred thousand dollars. So he should be fine," she added."Everything would go back to normal soon""Things would only go
Jason's PovThe minute I stepped out of Camile's event venue, reporters crowded me, throwing numerous questions at me. "Is that video we saw true?""Did you have something to do with Mr Camille's exposure?""How do you intend to take revenge on how Mr Camille has wronged you?"Now that question caught my attention. "Revenge?" I chuckled. "I'm not trying to take revenge on behalf of the company because as you all know I'm no longer the CEO""Then what are you doing?""I'm trying to justify my wife and her family thereby proving to my family that they were all wrong about the person they thought her to be""So what are your intentions now?""I'm going to charge both Rachel and Camile to court"As soon as those words had escaped my lips, Rachel's parents rushed towards me, begging. "Please don't. Rachel is still a child. We'll pay the compensation and--""Rachel?" I questioned. "Who is Rachel?" Shock masked her mother's face. "Don't say that. Don't act as if you don't know her"I gentl
Clara's POVI was so sucked up in work that I didn't realize that it was over lunch time and even time to go home. By the time I looked at my wristwatch I was way behind time. I promised Violet that I was going to visit her at the hospital today and then we would go shopping together.Although being from a wealthy family gives me privileges, I still love to work. I wasn't a workaholic either. I just love challenges and enjoying life to the fullest with my money. Ever since I met Violet, I felt so close to her and she felt like a sister to me and shopping with her was always fun and I'm always looking forward to it. I knew it would be wrong if I stood her up so I quickly cleared up what I was doing and stood up to leave. "Johnson," I beckoned to my personal assistant and soon he was in my office. "I am done for the day," I said to him and started to walk out of the company. Just as I got out to get to my car, I met with someone whom I didn't think I would ever see.Camille Rowe.W
