"Mr. Anderson, you should know that you are no longer the biggest shareholder. "
"Wait, what!" I yelled even before i could stop myself. It was quite unbelievable. After acquiring Lilianna shares, i should be the biggest shareholder. What the hell is going on right now. "Yes, it's true, Mr. Anderson" "That's impossible! if we are to include my late daughter shares, I should have about 55% of the company shares" That how it should have been. So i don't get where this problem is arising from right now. There is no way i will let all my effort go in vain after everything i went through to get here. " Someone else has acquired your daughter shares and also bought Mr. Gabriel shares, which made him or her the biggest shareholders right now," 'No no no no this can't be happening.' i kept chanting in my mind. " Impossible! my sister, my sister, left those shares for Father, and no one else has any right to it other than him. " Helena shouted I know my baby girl is pissed off right now but she need to be calm i don't want her to lose control of her emotion or she may destroy things for me with her temper, i want her to win all there trust so if i decide to let her take over in the future no one will be able to stop nor oppose her. "Listen here, little girl, the shares were acquired legally, and there is nothing you can do about it," Mr. Badmus shouted. "This is a family business, and it belongs to the Anderson's so only the Anderson can be in charge of this empire." I looked up when i heard my darling wife voice. She's right about this. All this belongs to me, and it should have been mine right from the beginning. "Mrs. Anderson you seem to be forgetting something important which i will gladly remind you, this empire does not belong to your family rather to the Altee Family and the only living soul just died and she didn't give her shares to you rather she gave her shares to another person. If she has given it to you in the first place, we won't be discussing this right now." "What the hell do you mean by it belongs to my sister? father owns this empire, and he only puts my sister in charge because he believes in her. " Helen exploded. I need to stop her before she makes matters worse. i know how she hates being told by anyone what to do, and all wants is for to own what does belong to us. "Helena, letFatherr take care of thi, okay? " i said to her uneasily. "ok~" she replied after seeing the expression on my face. I don't know why all these people are against me right now, because I literally pay each one of them a lot of money to support me, and I made different promises to each person. So why are they all acting against me, I'm sure there's more to this. "There is nothing to take care of Mr. Anderson, this empire belongs to your late wife and before she died she put her daughter in charge of all this, and when you were the caretaker when she was younger you showed your incompetency and now that she's dead you also showed your incompetency again within two days of her death someone took your daughter shares without your knowledge and also bought some company shares without you knowing. I'm sorry, but we want such a clever person to be in charge and not an incompetent fellow like you. " Mr. Daniel said in one breath. I can't believe I am being insulted like this. They have always been on my side, supporting and even plotting against Lilianna when she was alive, and now that she's dead, i expect them to support me. " So, who is the new stakeholder?" i asked choicelessly, seeing that all my effort is going in vain again.I know i need another plan, and soon, before all my hard work of almost a decade ends in the trash. After killing so many people to acquire this empire, i can't wait to see that one person who came out nowhere to ruin my amazing plan. "We don't know, the person identity yet, we just have to wait. Watching all of them sitting calmingly and waiting with anticipation. What the hell does this person think of him or herself to keep everyone in this room waiting. After waiting for almost an hour, we heard the door open and Lilianna assistant Chole or what was her name again, walking in like she owned the place. "What the hell are you doing here? This meeting is for the shareholders only." "Your wife and daughter are not a member of board if am to recall." When i heard Mr. Badmus voice again, i felt like kiling him right now. They are not family and this is a family business" i said gritting my teeth i really need to keep my emotion in check before i eventually lose control.
Liliy Pov I was expecting all the shareholders to be on his side, and i was never expecting this not even in my wildest dream, wait a minute, Was this Chole handwork? When i looked toward Chole, she just smiled at me, which meant this was her doing. Wow! i got myself a capable assistant, or rather, should i say good work Lilianna for appointing yourself a capable assistant, but let wait and see what else she can do. Did she threaten them or what. "I never declared my daughter dead the doctor did, and all i did was annoucing what the doctor told me." James said anxiously. "And you did not wait for validation before making an announcement," Mr. Badmus asked mockily. Wow! this is what they call the fight for power, Badmus had been james best friend forever, well, according to the memories i obtained from Lilianna. They have been in this together like forever, and now he can't ever wait to pull him out of the game. "I didn't validate it cause i trusted him," James said,
Wow! no one has even spoke to like that. " I know you didn't ask for my name, but can I know yours please?" i asked with pleading eyes." "Lilianna" she answered when she realise I won't leave her alone if she didn't answer me. She left immediately, and she told me her name. I kept looking at her back even though she had walked far away and could only see her in a distance. * * * * * Ray Pov "What are you staring at bro?" Jerry asked me when he saw me looking at the same direction for a long time. "I think i just saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life." "What! he exclaimed when he heard what I said because this was the first time I was talking about any woman with him. "Yes, her face was flawless and she has magical voice, little brother she was beautiful and most importantly my body reacted to her. "..............................." He was speechless because this was the first time he saw me behaving in such a weird manner and checking to see if he wa
I also want to know what was going on inside the Anderson Empire, her family and friends, the people she associated with. I know am invading her privacy and i will apologize when the time comes. Drake Pov I'm quite surprised with my boss's attitude. He wants to know more about the ice queen. They have never spoken to each other before, even when they were in an event or do business together. Why does he suddenly want to find out everything about her family and friends. May be his next target is the Anderson Empire, I need to carry out my boss order rather than thinking about what that does not concern me. *Next day* Ray Pov When i opened the document containg Drake finds I decided to read through it immediately. Name: Lilianna Anderson Height: 67.3 cm Hobby: Non Hair colour: Blonde Friends: Non Relationship status: Single (Note she has never been in any relationship) Never see smiling nor crying, not attached to any member of her family, rarely goes out, always
Third person Pov "Come and get it," Helena pushed Jack that was still busy sucking her boob away and rushing towards Mark and helping him with his trousers and boxers the moment she pulled his boxers down. She pushed him towards the bed and pulled out his erected dick into a Pussy and started moving down slowly. "Ahh h h ah " She moaned in delight and cum immediately rather than stopping she started moving faster until another wave of pleasure build up in her. That was when Mark turned them over when her pace was not fast enough for him and started moving according to is own pace. "Hmm m m mm." "Yes, ahh hh h." "Harder, please," "Deeper Mark," She screamed. Jack, who was staring at them before and signalled his friend to move her over to the edge of the bed. Jack inserted his dick into her ass hole and they both begin to sandwich fuck her. "Yeah." "more" She screamed over and over again until they all came many times before they went their separate ways. Helena Pov
Liliy Pov My driver drove towards the new investors' house, although I have seen many houses since I came to this world, but the one in front of me right now looks magnificant. I just like the way it looks may be i should negotiate buying the house from him. "Welcome ma'am, master is waiting for you inside, this way please." A man whom I believe to be the butler said to me immediately I came down from my car. Butler John Pov It was quite surprising to know that's my young master invited a female guest over and asked every worker to treat her with a lot of respect, I know something is off right away or else my stone of boss will never ask for such. I have known him since he was a child and everything he had ever done has an ulterior motive. I just hope that the female guest coming over as a good heart and will be able to make him fall for her. When I saw her coming down from her car I was surprised to see who it was and my hope of shipping them together just crashed just like tha

Ray Pov I stood there, stunned, as Lily walked away from me. I couldn't believe what had just happened. One minute we were kissing, the next she was analyzing her feelings like a scientist. I was both impressed and intimidated by her bluntness. As I watched her leave, I realized I was still reeling from our kiss. I had never felt such a strong connection with anyone before. And her response - "I think what I felt earlier was pleasure" - was both refreshing and terrifying. Refreshing because it was honest, terrifying because I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I shook my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. What was I doing? I didn't even know this girl, and yet I was already in over my head. But I couldn't deny the attraction between us. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I took a deep breath and tried to process everything that had just happened. Lily was...different. She was unlike any woman I had ever met. And I found myself wanting to know more about he
Fairy tales didn’t exist. Ray had always known that. And yet, he had let himself believe. Believe that after everything, he could finally have his happy ending. That Lily would come back, that they would put all the chaos behind them and just… be. But four months had passed. Four months, and she was nowhere to be found. And in those four months, she had caused more destruction than she probably even realized. The Anderson family was gone. The Manchester family had been silenced. The power structures that once dictated everything had crumbled beneath the weight of her actions. And yet, the world had gone eerily quiet. The media barely spoke about it. There were no reports, no scandalous headlines, no outrage. It was as if the universe had conspired to erase all traces of her, making her untouchable. He couldn’t reach her. He couldn’t speak to her. He couldn’t even see her. It was hell. And the worst part? It was starting to feel like the version of hell he had
The silence stretched between them.Lilly and Jerry—two people who had seen death, caused death, lived among death—now sat here, unable to make sense of the one loss that actually hurt.Lilly swallowed the lump in her throat.“I thought I could tell you that time would heal this. That one day, you’d wake up, and the pain would be gone.”Jerry gave her a hollow stare, waiting for her to continue.“But that would be a lie.”Her voice broke slightly, but she pushed through.“The truth is… you won’t wake up one day and magically feel okay. You’ll carry this pain with you. Every damn day.”Jerry’s jaw clenched. He knew that already, he knows deep down he will never get over losing his love right before it could even blossom.Lilly reached out and placed a hand over his.“But you’ll learn to live with it,” she whispered. “Because that’s what Chloe would have wanted. She didn’t fight this hard, endure this much, just for either of us to fall apart when she’s gone.”Jerry let out a ragged bre
Ray stared at her, his heart pounding in his chest.“One… m-m-month?” His voice cracked. “That’s too much, wifey.”His grip on her hands tightened, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear before his eyes.Lilly’s lips trembled, but she held her ground.“At least this way, you won’t be married to a woman who is mentally unstable, Ray,” she said softly. “And worse—a woman who shares her new body with her dead twin’s split personality.”Ray’s body stiffened.“Split what?” His brows furrowed, convinced he had misheard.Lilly sighed, wiping the stray tear that escaped her eye. “I’m sure you’ve already guessed it, Ray. You’ve seen it. You’ve felt it. Lia and I… we aren’t just one person. And I need to do this—for myself, for you, and for our baby.”Her voice wavered.“I need to be able to give you the same love you’ve given me. To birth our baby in a safe place. Please, Ray… please.” She squeezed his hands, her tears falling freely now.Ray felt something twist in his chest.Lil
The room felt unbearably heavy.Jerry sat still, his elbows on his knees, his head in his hands.And then, without warning—A sob tore through him.“Haaaaaa~~~” he yelled out. For the first time in life he felt like someone was trying to zap life out of him.The kind that clawed out from the depths of his soul, ripping past the walls he had spent years building.Tears streamed down his face. He didn’t even bother to wipe them.This wasn’t grief.This was devastation.This was an unbelievable moment, it was only aFew days ago that he realized the extend of his live for Chloe and now she dead.Dead just like that.This was the feeling of watching the one person who made life feel like more than just blood and war—slip through his fingers.He had lost Chloe.And now, what was left of him?Nothing.Nothing but this unbearable silence, this emptiness that no amount of vengeance could ever fill.He clenched his fists.He had always thought himself untouchable, someone who laughed in the fa
The room was too quiet.The kind of silence that made the air feel heavier, pressing against their chests like an unbearable weight.Lilly sat frozen, her eyes staring into nothing.She wasn’t crying. She wasn’t speaking.She just sat there, lost in the void.Ray was right behind her, not touching, not speaking just there.Because what could he say? What could he do?There were no words for grief like this. No bandage for wounds that cut this deep.On the other side of the room, Jerry knelt beside Chloe’s bed, his hands gripping hers with a desperation that made his knuckles turn white.His lips moved, whispering something under his breath.A prayer.Jerry Manchester the man who had never feared death, who had laughed in the face of danger—was now begging.To a God he didn’t even believe in.“Please—”His voice cracked, his fingers tightening around Chloe’s.“Please, don’t take her.”Tears burned at the corners of his eyes, but he refused to let them fall.He didn’t cry. Not Jerry Man
The scent of iron was thick in the air.Lilly’s eyes, cold and unyielding, swept across the men standing by. Their hesitation irritated her.“What the hell are you all waiting for?” Her voice cracked through the tense silence, sharp as a whip.The men snapped to attention.“Get him out of there. Now.”She didn’t need to say it twice.Two men rushed forward, reaching into the trunk and dragging David Deluca’s battered body out. His weight was dead, limp, his blood smearing against their gloves.“Take him to Damon.”Her tone left no room for argument.The men moved swiftly, disappearing into the building with their barely breathing cargo.Lilly stood still, her breathing measured, her fingers clenched so tightly her nails bit into her palms.She should feel satisfaction.But for some reason—She didn’t.Inside, the air was suffocating.The rhythmic beeping of the life support machine filled the room—until suddenly, the sound changed.The sharp, rapid BEEP—BEEP—BEEP sliced through the ai
Lilly inhaled sharply.Ray cursed under his breath.Jerry looked up, his expression wild, desperate. “We need to stop the bleeding!”But his hands were unsteady, his mind a mess.Lilly took over.“Move,” she ordered, her voice firm.Jerry hesitated, unwilling to let go, but Ray grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back.“Let her work.”Lilly worked fast, grabbing supplies from the medical kit. She cut away the fabric around the wound, assessing the damage. The bullet hadn’t passed through it was lodged inside.“Shit.”With gloved hands, she cleaned around the wound, applying pressure to slow the bleeding. Her movements were steady, precise years of training kicking in.Jerry could barely breathe.“Is she going to be okay?” His voice cracked.Lilly didn’t answer immediately. She grabbed a hemostatic gauze and pressed it firmly against the wound.“This will slow it down until Damon gets here,” she murmured.Ray kept his focus on Jerry, who looked like a man on the verge of breaking.“She’l
The shockwave rattled the car, and Chloe instinctively ducked.“What the fuck—?!” Jerry shouted, glancing at the rearview mirror.One of the enemy vehicles was now a burning wreck.And behind it—The Alpha Team had arrived.Meanwhile, in the Shooter’s Car…Matt watched in horror as one of their vehicles went up in flames.He gritted his teeth, his fingers digging into the seat.“Stop shooting!” he roared.His men hesitated, confused.But one look at Matt’s expression—twisted with fury and frustration—was enough to make them obey.Clark, sitting beside him, turned with a scowl.“Boss, I thought you said they wouldn’t have backup until we reached the city.”Matt’s jaw clenched. His hands balled into fists.“Well, are you fucking blind?” he snapped. “Or just too dumb to realize we’re already in the city?”Clark stiffened.“They own this place,” Matt muttered, his voice low and furious. “This is their fucking territory.”Clark exhaled sharply, running a hand down his face.“Then why the h
Jerry’s hands gripped the steering wheel tighter, his knuckles turning white. His mind was spinning, Chloe’s words echoing in his head.“You never miss a chance to make me feel like an object.”“But guess what, Jerry? I’m not an object.”His jaw clenched.“When have I ever treated you like an object?” he asked, his voice unusually quiet—almost confused.Chloe scoffed, rolling her eyes.Jerry, however, wasn’t done.His mind raced, trying to piece together where the hell he had gone wrong. Is that why she won’t give me a chance? Does she really think I see her that way?For the first time in his life, Jerry Mancini found himself questioning his own actions.And in doing so—He completely forgot they were being followed.A loud bang erupted behind them, and the car jolted violently to the side.Chloe snapped her head around, eyes widening as she saw the dark SUV gaining on them, its headlights like glowing eyes in the night.“Jerry, focus!” she shouted.Jerry’s head whipped back toward t
