Nina’s POV**

The room buzzed with tension as Mr. Trump stood at the head of the table, his imposing figure radiating authority. His piercing gaze swept over everyone, his face set in a stern expression that could silence even the boldest among us.

"Now listen to me, Mr. Maxwell," he began, his voice a mixture of calm confidence and razor-sharp criticism. "Whether Jasper is the shareholder, the head of the family, or whatever self-important title he’s assigned himself, that’s his business. I don’t care. I don’t care if Mark is the shareholder either. What I care about is the fact that Jasper," he paused, his eyes locking onto Jasper like a hawk zeroing in on its prey, "doesn’t know anything about antiques. Not a single thing. Nothing upstairs."

Jasper’s face turned crimson, his mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air. He looked at Mr. Maxwell for support, but Maxwell, for once, was too stunned to respond immediately.

    Nina's POV I was so happy when I heard Mr. Trump take my side. It had been an honor, truly, and a moment I’d been yearning for. His words had lifted my spirits in a way I couldn't explain. You see, my life hadn't been easy. There had always been people trying to tear me down or doubt my worth, but this moment, it felt like all of that had been swept away. It was validation. As I sat there beside my husband, Mark, who had always been my rock, I felt a sense of vindication like no other.Mark had been through a lot, too. He stood by me, even when things were tough, and I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude and pride for him. He didn’t need to prove anything to anyone. And yet, I often found myself in situations where people tried to make me feel like I didn’t belong. But now, with Mr. Trump’s support, I felt invincible."I’m so glad you’re with me," I said quietly to Mark, squeezing his hand under the table. His eyes softened, and he gave me a reassuring smile, one that sp

    Nina's POV As soon as I made my statement about the VIP card, the entire room fell into stunned silence. Everyone, from the waitress standing beside me to the other patrons, was caught off guard by what I’d said. Their faces showed a mix of confusion, curiosity, and skepticism, but I stood tall, refusing to break my composure. The waitress, holding a small device that looked like a POS machine for payment verification, seemed completely unprepared for my response. I could see the doubt in her eyes as she processed what I’d just said.“I am so sorry, Ma’am,” she stammered, her eyes flickering back and forth between my face and the card in my hand. “But I’ve never heard of a VIP card being inside a regular debit card. This is... This is really funny, and I’m not going to buy that idea.”Her words were meant to dismiss me, but I didn’t let them shake me. I could feel my chest tighten with the simmering heat of indignation, but I refused to show it. I had been underestimated before, but

    Nina's POVI could hardly believe my eyes as the scene unfolded before me. Jasper, the man who had caused me so much pain and confusion, was being dragged out of the house by the police. The very sight of him—his frantic, wild-eyed look, his desperate thrashing against the officers—was surreal. I hadn’t expected to witness this moment today, or ever, but now that it was happening, I felt an odd sense of vindication. He had done so many horrible things, and now, finally, he was paying the price. But the surprise didn’t stop there. Just as they were about to drag him out the door, Jasper’s voice cut through the tension like a knife."I want to talk! I want to talk to them! I want to talk to my grandma! You can’t take me like this!" His voice, full of desperation, echoed through the hall. He stopped halfway, pulling against the officer's hold as if he could will himself free.I stood frozen, caught between disbelief and the smallest, darkest sense of satisfaction.

    **The Day of the Banquet***(Nina's POV)*The days flew by so fast I barely noticed the banquet looming closer. And now, here I was, seated in front of a large gilded mirror in my room, letting a team of skilled makeup artists work their magic on me. My reflection was a work in progress: my skin already glowing from the serums and lotions I’d carefully applied moments before. The artists flitted around me like butterflies, adding color and life to my face, brushing through my hair, and perfecting every detail.The excitement in the air was almost tangible, but beneath the surface, a current of nerves churned in my stomach. I wasn’t sure if it was from anticipation or dread. The banquet wasn’t just a celebration—it was an exhibition, a grand spectacle where the powerful flaunted their wealth and connections. And I was the host.I barely noticed the door creak open until Louisa, one of our maids, stepped in with a nervous smile and my laptop carefully balanced in her hands. "Ma'am, here

    **Nina's POV**I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My auburn curls cascaded down my shoulders, framing my face. I was dressed in a fitted emerald gown that hugged every curve, the color enhancing the fiery determination in my hazel eyes. Today wasn’t just another day. Today, I would reclaim my identity, my pride, and my dignity. I adjusted the diamond necklace on my neck—the very one my late father gave me. His words echoed in my mind: *"Nina, never let anyone dim your light."*The clock chimed softly in the background as the housekeeper, Louise, poked her head into the room. “Miss McDonald, it’s time. The guests are waiting.”“Let them wait,” I murmured, my voice calm yet laced with steel. But then something caught my attention—a notification on my laptop. I turned and saw Xander, my assistant, gesturing for me to answer a video call.“Miss Nina, Mr. Leonard Diego has arrived,” Thunder, my security lead, announced.I froze for a second, then let out a soft breat

    Nina's POVI had never imagined a moment like this. It felt like something out of a surreal movie—a dream I couldn’t wake up from. There I was, standing in the middle of an extravagant banquet, the center of attention, and yet, all I felt was the weight of the decisions pressing down on me. Four men—four powerful, influential men—kneeling in front of me, each offering their heart, their loyalty, and their future. And I, caught in the chaos of it all, didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or scream. But what was truly baffling was that none of them truly understood who I was—not the person I had worked so hard to become.I could see their faces as I looked down at them. Matthew’s intense gaze, as if he was certain that my answer would be yes. Leonard’s hopeful, almost desperate eyes, pleading with me as if he truly believed we had some unfinished story. And then there was Jordan, my ex-husband, the man who had once promised me everything but ended up shattering my world.I could feel my h

    Laila’s POV I continued to run through the dark, damp basement, my heart hammering in my chest as the man pursued me relentlessly. Each of my footsteps echoed in the vast, empty space, and I couldn’t believe I had come here alone. What was I thinking? What had possessed me to ignore Lance’s warnings? I should’ve listened to him. Now, here I was, running for my life, the walls closing in around me as I realized I had made a grave mistake. I stumbled, my foot catching on something hidden in the shadows, and fell to the ground. Pain shot through my knees, but I didn’t have the luxury to stop and nurse the wound. The sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, and my pulse quickened. “Hamilton,” I gasped, my voice trembling with fear, “Please… you don’t have to kill me.” I wasn’t sure if I was pleading for my life or bargaining for a way out, but I had to try something. “I’ll give you money! I’ll give you anything you want! I’ll give you back the company!

    Laila’s POV Mr. Williams slowly looked at Hamilton, a bitter smile curling at the edges of his lips as he braced himself for what was coming. His eyes, once warm and inviting, now glinted with the realization that he had outlived his usefulness. The situation had shifted drastically, and the cold air seemed to settle heavier with each passing second. "You really thought you could just use me, didn’t you?" Mr. Williams’ voice was raspy but laced with a cold edge of sarcasm. He turned his gaze to Hamilton, his old ally, but now she was nothing more than an enemy. "I was your friend once, Hamilton. A loyal one. And this is how you repay me?" Hamilton stood motionless, her expression frozen in a mask of rage and contempt. "You were never a friend, Mr. Williams," she snapped, her voice sharp and filled with venom. "You were always a means to an end. Nothing more." He raised an eyebrow, his lips twitching into a grimace. "A means to an end...?” he repeated, his voice betraying a tr

    Laila’s POV I couldn't believe it. Everything that had happened up until this point felt like it was straight out of a nightmare—only, this was my reality. I was standing in the middle of a dark, damp basement, the air thick with tension and the smell of mildew, and yet, it felt like I was suffocating from the weight of betrayal. Mr. Williams’ words echoed in my mind: "You have one task—get out of this basement alive, and you’ll get the proof." The audacity. I had come here trusting him, believing his promises. He seemed genuine, his voice calm and reassuring when he spoke to me on the phone. But now, standing here, staring at him with a twisted smile on his face, I realized how wrong I had been. How could I have been so naive? I had ignored Nolan’s warning. I should have listened to him. Nolan had always been there for me, offering his wisdom and caution when I needed it most. But instead, I had decided to trust Mr. Williams, thinking that he was the key to uncovering the tru

    **Hamilton's POV** I was in my office when the call came in. It was a frantic voice on the other end, trembling with fear and urgency. “Mrs. Hamilton, it’s about your daughter... Mara.” My heart dropped before I even heard the rest of the sentence. “She was pushed... we don’t know who did it, but she was found lying in the kitchen of the Mountain’s Group of Companies... and she’s been... hurt.” My mind couldn’t make sense of the words, but the panic in the voice was clear. They told me Mara was still breathing, just barely. Without wasting a second, I ordered the ambulance to be sent immediately. My hands were shaking as I hung up, feeling like the world was collapsing around me. What happened? Who would do this to my little girl? The journey to the company felt like an eternity. Every second, every heartbeat, was filled with dread. I couldn’t imagine her in that condition. It felt like the air itself had thickened, and the suffocating fear clung to me. When we arrived, I saw her,

    Hamilton’s POV We had just been celebrating our latest triumph. The business was thriving, and every new plan we executed was a success. We were stealing Lila’s clients, breaking down her network one piece at a time. The feeling of victory was sweet, and I couldn’t help but smile as Mr. Williams and I sat together, discussing how far we’d come. “I’ll take you out for coffee,” I told Mr. Williams. “Let’s celebrate. We’ve earned it.” He smiled, clearly as pleased with our success as I was. Just as we were settling into the idea of a relaxing break, a sudden, sharp realization hit me. The Redwood Furniture Company, one of our major suppliers, hadn’t responded to our latest inquiry about stock mandates. My stomach turned. We had been relying on them for a crucial shipment, and without it, everything could come crashing down. I glanced at Mr. Williams. “Did they respond to your call?” I asked. He picked up his phone again, dialing the number. But his expression shifted almost immed

    **Laila’s POV** I was determined to get to the root of this. I couldn’t let Michael’s lies go unpunished, especially after everything he had done. The moment I heard they had apprehended the criminal, I knew I couldn’t waste time. Without hesitation, I decided to follow Nolan to meet him. As we arrived, I could see the fear in Michael's eyes. He refused to speak unless I gave him something in return. The arrogance in his voice grated on my nerves. "I'll only tell you the truth when you sleep with me," he said, his voice dripping with smugness. I clenched my fists, fighting the surge of anger coursing through me. My company, my reputation, everything I had worked for was hanging by a thread. I was not the type to trust easily, but I had no other choice but to take this step. My heart was pounding, but my face remained steely, betraying no emotion. The knife in my hand gleamed under the dim light, and I stepped closer to him, my eyes narrowing. "Tell me what happened. Why did you d

    Laila’s POV I’m so thankful for Nolan. He’s been my anchor, the only person I can trust, especially when everything else around me felt like it was closing in. Every time I thought I couldn’t face the overwhelming pressure of these accusations, he would be there, showing up with that reassuring calm in his eyes. I had no idea what this woman and the man with her were planning. I didn’t understand why they had come to my hotel, why they were accusing my security team of something so vile. But Nolan always seemed to have a way of cutting through the noise. "I’m not making any payments until I’m sure,” I had said to them, trying to stand my ground despite the anger and frustration burning in my chest. “We need an investigation. It’s not right to just pay without proof.” But before I could say more, Nolan had pulled me aside, his voice low and urgent. “It’s a setup, Laila. They’re trying to ruin us, trying to tarnish the reputation of this hotel. Someone has been targeting us from

It’s as if the universe conspires to test me, one problem at a time, with no relief in sight. And yet, I have no choice but to face it. Someone, somewhere, is working against me. There’s no other explanation. I can feel their eyes on me, their whispers in the shadows. My rivals, my enemies—they are always lurking, waiting for an opening to devour me and, more importantly, my father’s company. I’ve spent my entire life building this empire, and now, with the way things are going, it feels like I’m standing on the edge, waiting to be pushed off. They don’t want me here. They don’t want me to have this second chance that fate has granted me, but I won’t let them take it away. This is my opportunity to prove myself, to show them all that I’m not just some helpless pawn. I’ll fight with everything I have. This morning, as I sat in my office, trying to focus on the endle

    **Nolan’s POV:** I was famished—having skipped lunch before the board meeting had left me ravenous. My stomach growled in protest as I drove to the restaurant, hoping to grab something quick for a takeaway. The thought of eating at home, away from the suffocating pressure of work, was a comforting one. When I finally got to the restaurant and grabbed my food, the hunger pangs in my stomach intensified, urging me to hurry. As I walked out, my thoughts drifting back to the exhausting day, something—or rather, someone—made me freeze. A woman bumped into me. I steadied myself and looked up to meet her gaze, and for a moment, I felt a jolt in my chest. She looked exactly like Lila. But something wasn’t right. The woman’s eyes held a different glint—something that Lila’s soft, serene gaze would never possess. I knew in that instant. This wasn’t Lila, it was someone else. But she was wearing her face. As she looked up at me, the seductive smile that stretched across her lips was all wron
