P/S: I'd be using the 3rd POV from this chapter. It helps me explain better than 1st POV. Sorry for the inconvenience.

His fingers strummed the wooden table as he stared at the newspaper. His eyes glistened with anger but only for a moment before he faced his nephew, Liam.

"She's dead. Jane Moore." He narrowed his eyes as those words left his mouth. His jaw ticked as he read about Jane's mysterious heir.

"So it seems, uncle Dante," Liam replied quite solemnly and sighed.

"Do you know who succeeded her?" Dante asked as he kept looking at the masked woman. Her nose and mouth were covered, leaving only her eyes. He was pissed off about the whole situation.

Jane and Dante had been enemies for quite a while because they were each after the same company. Gadget Co was a tech company whose popularity was over the moon. Dante wanted the company to open a branch in his departmental store, but so did Jane before she died. It's been three years but they were still fighting.

    Time seemed to have stopped in the wide room occupied by several shelves of books. Seated on his couch with a filled wine glass in his left hand and a cigarette on his right, Dante stared at Javan who had presented him with nothing. "If not that you're my best friend, I would have ordered for your execution." Dante grouched and drew out smoke from the stick. Javan irked his face while touching his neck. "Two weeks, Javan, two weeks is more than enough to look for one insignificant, arrogant woman.""I'm not the only one who looked into it. I had to involve others because I was quite shocked when I couldn't find anything on her." He explained and released a breath when Dante finally nodded."I trust you're doing all you can to find her. She committed a grave crime and she needs to pay for it." He took the cigarette out on the ashtray before his eyes darted to the envelope that was sent in by the most wanted company, Gadget Co. "Aren't you going to open it?" Javan questioned with an

    After that meeting, none of them set eyes on each other again for more than a month. Gadget Co had still not gotten back to them and Dante was looking for a way to get Cora out of the way. If only he could get her to drop out on her own. "What's this idea of yours, Liam?" Dante asked Liam, who sat across from him in his office. He remembered Liam talking about a way of getting the Moore empire to back off. "It had better be good." His eyes narrowed as he stared at his fidgeting nephew. Dante had always had this intimidating aura that scared everyone off, except Cora and the few people close to him. "Well, thinking about it now, it sounds like a dumb idea." "Spill, Liam," Dante growled impatiently. His guts told him that Cora was going to be picked as the brand ambassador and he needed to do something quick. "I wanted to say that we should offer them some amount of money or something very enticing. Something better than Gadget Co." "And how much do you think you can offer a woma

    "What sort of presentation was that? Is that how you want to attract more people?" Dante asked with a deadly glare. They had gotten to Liam's house after the meeting with the investors. "At least I got a few people who bought my idea and see it as gold." Liam shrugged, not wanting to argue with his uncle. He didn't want to seem ungrateful for the opportunity but he felt he was pushing him too much. "Few people? They're not up to ten. Didn't your ex-wife teach you anything?" "Uncle Dante, please, don't bring her into this. You know how much I hate talking about my past. You must be very tired. You need to rest." "And what sort of wife did you later get married to? A whore? That dumbass that doesn't know anything about business, that's who you ended up with. You're both pathetic." "Uncle!" Liam thundered, making Dante arch a brow. "I will not stand here and watch you insult my family. Respect what's mine at least. I would never say that about anybody you'd get married to." Dante

    Struggling to make his way through the crowd, Liam bumped into a lot of persons. He grunted incessantly until he was able to make it through the crowd. Because of doctor's appointment with his child, he ran late. So late that Dante left him and gave him directions to the club. Liam wondered why Zaria couldn't go alone. He finally found Dante sitting in the midst of some of the men he had met at the investor's meeting. This was his chance to bond with them, so he thought. "Good evening." He bowed slightly, although he wouldn't have done that if the meeting was in his pack. An alpha bowed to nobody. As he sat down, he sensed how carefree the men were. They didn't know they were dealing with supernatural beings. Nobody believed werewolves ever exists in the human world. Ignorance would be the end of them. "Pfft!! Humans." He said with scorn. They were the weaker vessels and yet, the stronger ones groveled at their feet. And then, his eyes turned to his uncle who laughed freely with

    "Who does that man think he is?" Cora thought to herself as she swiveled in her seat, her pen cap to her lips, and her fingers casually drumming her transparent desk. "Does he know I could sue him for defamation? What gives him the right to meddle in my business?" She stood up and walked to the large window. She looked at the busy street below, wondering how well she would deal with Liam. Although she knew she was going to exert her revenge on him, she didn't think it would be too soon. She needed lots of time to think of how well she could ruin him entirely. She was jolted out of her devious thoughts by the closure of her door. She turned slowly and saw her logistics manager walking in. "Good morning ma'am. I'm sorry for barging in but I've been knocking for a while and since there was no answer, I had to make sure you were okay." "Thank you, Terrence, but I'm fine. Please, sit." She catwalked back to her seat while Terrence sat opposite her, handing her the report she had ear

    "Mommy, wake up," Lisa yelled as she shook Cora who was still sleeping soundly. When Cora felt the disturbance, she opened her eyes to see the brightest smile on her daughter's face. She couldn't get used to seeing her every day. Three years ago was one of the hardest periods of her life. She lost her mother on the day she gave birth. Since then, Lisa has been her world. The only person she was living for. Having Lisa gave her this mad sense of responsibility, leading her to work hard so that her daughter wouldn't suffer the same fate as her. "You're up early, baby girl." Cora leaned in and kissed her forehead. "Good morning, mommy." She returned the kiss and fell into her mother's arms. Cora wrapped her like a newborn, almost squishing her. "Good morning, my darling. Hope you slept well." She asked as she stroked her hair gently. Lisa nodded and looked into her mother's face. "Daddy..." She muttered. At first, Cora was confused. "What did you say, love?" "I saw daddy yesterday

    "What happened between the two of you? Just two clashes with her cannot make her that bitter toward you." Dante pinched the flesh between his brows. He was tired of his nephew's complaints. After Cora told him to stay away from their fight, he told Liam. Liam agreed that it was his fight and Dante took his hands off. Later on, when the fire was too hot for Liam, he started coming to his uncle. At first, Dante wanted to ignore him but his cries became too much and he decided to hear him out. "Why are you not saying anything?" Dante sighed, looking at his helpless cousin. "I'm trying to help you but first, I must know what I'm getting into." He explained with a mused smile. His likeness for Cora had greatly increased, seeing the way she threw a grown man into despair without laying a finger on him. "I cannot tell you, uncle." Liam looked away and huffed. "You best be on your way then. I cannot help you." Dante stood up, heading for the door. "Okay, let's do it this way," Liam sugg

    "Flora..." Cora echoed the name repeatedly in her head. She remembered how after she was humiliated at the party, she went to Flora for help. But ended up being pushed away by someone she cherished. She faced betrayals from each angle and Flora's own pained her more. Flora believed that Cora actually pushed Zaria to the ground. Remembering that memory, she clicked her tongue. "This is the exact time to give her a taste of her own medicine, right?" She tilted her head, not knowing what to do. She wanted to dismiss her job application letter for no reason but something pricked her heart. "Does she even know I run this place?" She asked herself. "Only one way to find out." She picked up the telephone and phoned her secretary. "Let Flora in." The HRM was supposed to handle the employment was staff but upon seeing Flora in the queue, she decided to take over. When Flora was called upon, her eyes lit up. There was a spark of hope that ignited her heart. She had been struggling to land

    "Where is this place?" Cora asked as she gazed at the glistening pool. Her eyes darted back to Dante who was now at the bar, serving them some drinks. After they had left the bar, he took her to one of his penthouses."Nothing special. Come here," He invited her over with a gentle tone, although she wished he had been more commanding. "Cora!" She reprimanded herself before walking over. He handed her the drink and she reluctantly took it. "Do you go to the bar very often?" He asked, curiously. "Like twice or thrice a month. I go there to get away from all the stress and drama." She replied, swaying her wineglass from right to left. "I could use a swim though. Do you mind?" "Not at all. Knock yourself out." He shrugged and sipped his wine. She was about to stand up but his right hand pulled her down. He dropped his wine glass without breaking eye contact with her. He leaned in and removed a piece of thread that was stuck to her hair. He then tucked some strands of her hair behin

    "What's the meaning of this?!" Liam thundered, making Zaria flinch. "Where did you go to last weekend?" His tone was calm but deadly. "You better start speaking up before I lose my cool!" He commanded, making her wolf submit. "How is it your business if I went out? Didn't I tell you I was going to visit a relative of mine who lived in the big city?" She questioned innocently. "If you were listening to me, you would have known. And why are you shouting at me?" She fired back more fiercely this time. "And you were having s*x with this relate of yours? Is that it?" He tilted his head, trying to cool his temper. He wanted nothing but to pounce on her and give her the beating of her life. "Where did I go wrong, Zaria? Where?" Pain struck his throat as he spoke. He stood up so he could have a clearer view of the cheater. "I did everything you asked of me. I gave you everything you wanted and this is how you repay me?" Zaria gulped hard. Did he find out she went to see someone else?

    "Are you okay sweetie?" Cora asked as she gave her child a scrutinizing look. Lisa was crying as though she had gotten a major injury but it was just a slight brush on her elbow. Cora sighed in relief. She had thought something bad happened to her child. "Don't scare me like that baby." She cried her in her arms but she was crying seriously. "Are you hurt anywhere, baby?" "Daddy..." She mumbled, not sounding clear to Cora. "Candy? I could get that for you." She cooed and stroked her hair gently. "No, Daddy!" She exclaimed. "Daddy?" Cora hissed. She knew Lisa was referring to Dante. Lisa's cry intensified and she refused to calm down, despite all the efforts made to make her stop. The neighboring patients began to complain, forcing her to call Dante over. "You are going to pay for this, baby." She rolled her eyes, waiting for the hero of the day to arrive. It took him about twenty minutes to round up his work and rush to the hospital. All that while, Lisa didn't stop crying. Th

    "How did that wench glow up like that?" Zaria paced her room up and down, not able to get Cora off her mind. She saw the cars and escorts all just because she wanted to buy a building. What if she was actually going to an event? Zaria couldn't shake off the feeling of envy raging inside of her. She wanted everything Cora had. "I'm convinced that she slept her way up there. There's no other way she could have done it." She concluded maliciously. "And did you see the way he was looking at her? That man is definitely having something to do with that. I will show him that he can't use me and run back to his ex-wife that easily." She clicked her tongue. Her phone vibrated in her pocket. Without looking at the caller, she picked up. "What is it, Liam?" She questioned as she plonked to her bed. "Are you done staring so lovingly at your ex-wife? You know, sometimes I think you're cheating on me..." "Uhh... Sorry, I'm not Liam." The deep voice from the other end interrupted her. She imm

    The pleasure of watching Liam's properties being moved out of his company brought pure bliss to Cora's heart that it made her burst with happiness. She was willing to go to any length to make sure Liam got to his knees and begged her for forgiveness. "He still has pride." She scoffed. "Are you sure this is the only building he has?" I asked my assistant and she nodded positively. How low she was willing to make the man sink. She knew he would come around to find out what was going on in his pack and as expected, Liam barged in and grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing, Cora?" He asked through gritted teeth. Annoyed, she yanked her hand out of his and took five steps backward. "What? I'm only buying a free building for the extension of my company." She replied innocently. "Free building? I own this place!" He yelled. "Don't tell me you didn't know that? It would just make you the lying bitvh you already are." Cora folded her arms and looked at him as though he was a piece of s
