LONDON'S POV,Paris's death had shaken my family to its core, and its effects were still being felt months later. My mother, in particular, had been deeply affected by the loss of her daughter. I could only imagine the pain she was feeling, the hole that Paris's death had left in her heart.So when I saw that my brother was calling me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. What could he be calling about? I hoped it wasn't more bad news, that he wasn't calling to tell me that my mother had taken a turn for the worse. I took a deep breath and answered the call."It's Mom," he said, his voice full of resignation. "She's at it again."I knew what he meant.

SOPHIA'S POV, I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleeves of the black gown. It was a gorgeous dress. It was much longer than I was used to, and the thought of wearing it made me feel a bit nervous. But I also knew that I had to look my best for Ken. I wanted to make a lasting impression on him, to make him see me as the kind of woman he would never forget. I wanted him to be completely and utterly smitten with me."Excuse me, miss?" a waitress said, her voice hesitant. I turned, annoyed, my brows furrowed in irritation. She was a nuisance, interrupting my thoughts. I didn't want to be bothered by her."What is it?" I asked, trying to hide the irritation in my voice."Mr. Ken asked me to escort you to your table," she said, giving a little bow. "If you'll follow me, please.""Oh!" I exclaimed, my heart leaping at the sound of his name. "Take me to him, then!" I said, unable to hide my eagerness.She led me to the private corner of the hotel, it was a spacious room decorated

OLIVER'S POV "Cassandra, what are you doing here?" I asked, my words coming out in a jumble. "Why didn't you call me first? Why are you here?" Cassandra's expression was unreadable, but her eyes were bright with emotion. "Is that how best you could welcome your girlfriend you've not seen in months?" Casandra said, her voice sharp."You've been ignoring my calls and messages for months. You didn't even bother to respond when I told you I was coming to see you. How do you think that makes me feel?"

"The news has already reached the ears of the other shareholders, and they're not happy. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it yet."I sat back in my chair, trying to process what he had just said. The thought of the other shareholders being unhappy was enough to make my stomach churn. This was bad, very bad."Why would she do that?" I demanded, my voice rising to an angry pitch. "It doesn't make any sense. She had no reason to betray me like this.""I don't know, sir," James replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
