DAMIEN

I saw them come out of the building and instantly regretted coming out of my car at this point too. The last thing I want to do is talk to Eugene right now.

“Damien!" She yelled out my name before I could avoid them, making me cuss it. Her mother turned too but Eugene walked towards me, making her mother come forward too.

“What are you doing here?" Eugene asked when she got to me, I wanted to give a snarky comment that whatever I was looking for was none of her business but for the sake of her mother, I swallowed it.

“I'm here to see someone,” I replied, trying as much as possible to not sound rude or anything.

"Good afternoon, Damien.” Her mother greeted me herself. I didn't know if she was being normal or just because it's me but I answered since she's older and wasn't raised to be rude to anyone.

"Good afternoon, ma'am. How's the family?” I asked her politely, pocketing my hands.

"We’re all fine, you know, apart from the little setbacks we're experiencing in the

    EUGENE I watched as Damien drove away, the window of his car was tinted so I couldn't see him at all, the only thing I saw was the dark window till the car joined the busy road. “What's that about? You didn't have to lie that much, Eugene. I even thought you'd let him know that you were joking before he left, but you didn't, you played on.” My mom said beside me. "I'm doing this for us, Mom. If the heiress doesn't want to be known, I might as well make use of the opportunity to get what we want for a little while." I shrugged. “No, you're not. We'll only end up in a bitter mess if you continue with this. The Lancaster empire isn't just something you can play with, we'll just get ourselves in a deeper mess." She said. "Why are you scared, Mom? This would be so fun, and even helpful to us.” I chuckled and turned around to go into the building back but she dragged me back, stopping me from going in. "No, we're going home now. I'm sure we'll figure something out with your dad,

    SHAWNA “Have you seen how beautiful the new boss is? She's so pretty and just what you'd expect the CEO to look like, and her dress sense? Very nice!" One of the employees said to me as I walked into the office building. Did anyone publish anything about me already? But the more I walked further into the building, I realized that no one even seemed to notice me. Surely, if they had seen me, they'd have at least noticed that I was the person they were talking about, right? “She's currently sealing a deal too, I'm sure she must be hardworking and full of luck to have signed a deal on her first day." Another one said the person she was talking to urgently walked off, leaving me alone with her. I stopped by the lady who just said that I have a lot of questions to ask her already. The moment I stopped by her and she looked at me like trash, I knew instantly that there was a problem, she didn't look like she had seen my face. Who then is this new CEO they're talking about?

    SHAWNA I was dragged outside till I got to where Liam was waiting for me, he ran towards me and the men immediately. He however didn't get to us before I was let go. “What the fuck is going on? Why are you being treated this way? And you two, keep your filthy hands to yourselves!" Liam growled. The guys went in after throwing a glare our way, Liam turned to look at me and when he saw tears gathered in my eyes, he ran towards those men with a balled-up fist. "Liam, don't,” I mumbled quietly, he was just about to hit them when I said that so he stopped, he'd have complicated issues further if he did that because it's just us against them. "What's going on, Shawna? What happened?” Liam asked me. "Let's get into the car first, my head is banging.” He led me into his car immediately. I told my driver to leave us alone and go home as I planned on going somewhere with Liam before. “I saw Eugene inside with her mother, she's impersonating me." I summarized it to Liam. “What? How's

Help me!!" I yelled out when he didn't respond to me at all, my heart started beating wildly as I tried to wake him up.The door was pushed open and Liam ran in with two workers from the house. They ran towards the bed immediately with shocks on their faces too.“I don't know what happened, he just started coughing all of a sudden while talking to me.” I rambled and Liam and that other guy who's a worker here carried him upstairs. I took the IV behind them as he was taken into the car.Liam sat in the driver's seat while I sat in the back seat with grandfather, I kept checking him and realized that he had just a weak pulse.It's really weak, but it's there. I looked up in an attempt to urge Liam to go faster then I real

    SHAWNA“So we don't know when he'll wake up." The doctor said to me, but my eyes were glued to the television, my throat was dry and no word seemed to come out.“Are you listening to me, ma'am?" The doctor said as he tapped me gently.“Yes, I am. Nothing can be done till he wakes up right?" I asked and he nodded, my mind wasn't even in what I was saying anymore.“Yes, we'll keep you posted as time goes on. We'll let you know as soon as he makes any improvements, but for now, nothing can just be done."I didn't even know when he left, all I saw was Liam coming towards me, he stood before me then his arms wrapped around me slowly."What do we do now?” He asked me, his voice felt so far from me even though he was before me.“I honestly don't know. It's now online, now everyone thinks she's the heiress, it's on the news now for f*ck’s sake!" I yelled with angry tears rolling down my face.The numbness in me before turned into anger almost immediately. The fact that it's now on the news me

    DAMIENI watched as she left with the guy, my fists balled up subconsciously. I envisioned myself pummeling that same fist into his face with how tight their hands were.They entered the car and they drove off, I looked at the car till it left the premises, and that was when the suppressed groin left my mouth.I came back to have some words with Eugene, only for me to get here and to see her leaving. I wanted to go after her car when I saw Shawna, I didn't even think twice before I asked Roger to drive in.Then she ended up angry at me, I don't even know what I can do to make her talk to me at least at this point, it's like she gets angry at the mere sight of me now.“Drive me to my father's house, he has been blowing up my phone," I said to Roger as I got back into the car.“Copied." He mumbled then put the car into drive immediately then pulled out of the premises.“That was Shawna, right? What's she doing in Lancaster corporations?" Roger asked as the car joined the highway."Yes,

    EUGENE“You do know that everything we've done will eventually catch up with us, Mr Bryan will eventually wake up, and he'll know that he didn't make you the heiress." Mom said as we drove home."Yes, but we'll get what we want in the end. If most of the investors even like me, he might end up making me the heiress." “But for now, let's just enjoy the moment, everyone now knows me as the current heiress of the Lancaster's empire, it feels too good to be true." I chuckled, using my hand to fan myself.Mom smirked too, but I could still see worry lurking in her eyes and her shoulders weren't relaxed either.“Mom, just calm down. Trust me this time around, we'll come out victorious this time around.” I assured her."Let's just hope. What was Shawna saying back then anyway?” Mom changed the topic."Trash, just like she is,” I stated."She's going crazy, first she came into the conference room and declared herself as the heiress, then she called you an imposter, isn't it funny?” she said.

    KYLEI walked out of the house with Damien before me, he didn't acknowledge me at first till I followed him to his car, that was when he stopped and looked back.“What is it, Kyle?" He asked me.“I'm going with you." I declared simply. "What's your concern with what I'm going there to do now?” He asked me back. "I'm going there with you, and that's final.”He was so calm, nothing like what Damien always looks like whenever it comes to an issue concerning the both of us.“It's none of my concern anyway. You'll continue with what you want to do with Eugene once I've handed her the file, just don't disturb me." He said then got into his car.I squeezed my fists tight as anger thrummed through me with what he just said, his mentioning the file made me even more angry, I'm meant to be the one who gets married to Eugene, she's my girlfriend.And how the hell is Eugene the heiress to the Lancaster empire I don't know. She didn't deem it fit to inform me even with how we've been discussing

    PHOEBEI paced in the living room, arms crossed so tight my nails dug into my skin. My jaw was clenched and my whole body was tense. Jasper was taking too damn long, and every second made my blood boil hotter. The moment he walked in, I was on him."What the hell was that?" I snapped, stepping right into his path.Jasper barely spared me a glance, rolling his eyes as he shrugged off his jacket. "What was what?"I scoffed, my patience snapping like a rubber band. "You know exactly what I’m talking about." My voice rose, shaking with anger. "Dragging Ramon out like some criminal? Talking to him like that? You humiliated me, Jasper!"Jasper scoffed, crossing his arms like he was the one who had a reason to be pissed. "Oh, I’m sorry. Should I have waited until after you threw yourself at him?" His voice dripped with sarcasm.My face burned. "You’re such a jerk!""You’re being reckless, Phoebe!" Jasper shot back, stepping closer, eyes blazing. "You don’t even know this guy! You’re acting l

    RAMONI hadn't even realized how close I was standing to her until it hit me, her warmth, her scent, the way she wasn’t moving away. It was like the whole world had faded, and it was just us, caught in this moment.I leaned in, slow, testing, watching her reaction. She didn’t flinch, didn’t push me away.Her lips parted slightly, breath warm against my skin. I could hear it, soft, uneven, like she wasn’t sure what to do next. But she wasn’t stopping me.I took another step, just a little closer.She bit her lip, hesitating, shy, but still, she didn’t move back.So I didn’t either.My heart pounded, a steady, insistent rhythm against my ribs. I could feel her breath hitch, see the way her lashes fluttered as she struggled with whatever was running through her mind.Just a little more…My hand hovered near her waist, not quite touching, just close enough that I could feel the heat radiating off her skin. Close enough that if she wanted to step away, she could.But she didn’t.Instead, h

    RAMONI leaned against my bike, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the house. The street was quiet except for the distant hum of traffic. I checked my watch for the tenth time. She was taking too long.Then, finally, a cab pulled up. Phoebe stepped out first, followed by her brothers.Her eyes widened when she saw me. "Ramon?" She rushed over. "Have you been waiting here this whole time?"I shrugged. "Figured I’d see what was going on."She smiled, a little tired but still warm. "That’s… really sweet."Her brothers exchanged looks. I already knew they didn’t like me. Not that I cared.One of them, the tallest, sighed. "Look, man… we don’t like you."The other crossed his arms. "Yeah. But… thanks. For saving her."I smirked. "Wasn’t looking for your approval, but you’re welcome."Phoebe sighed, already exhausted. "Can we not do this right now?" She turned to me, eyes hopeful. "Come in."The tallest one immediately shook his head, arms crossing over his chest like a human wall. "No way."The o

    SHAWNAThe phone buzzed in my hand, and I frowned at the screen. Eugene. We hadn’t spoken in a while. I hesitated for a second before answering."Come to this location," Eugene said without preamble, then rattled off an address."What? I’m busy right now," I said looking so confused."Just come, Shawna. It’s important."The line went dead before I could ask anything else.Zaverio, who had been watching me, raised a brow. "What was that about?""I don’t know," I admitted. "But she sounded serious.""Then we go."The drive was tense. Neither of us spoke much. My mind raced with possibilities. What did Eugene want? I had a lot on my plate at the moment. Why the secrecy? When we arrived at the rundown warehouse, Kyle and Eugene were already there, waiting."What’s going on?" I asked as we stepped closer.Kyle crossed his arms. "We’ve been trying to help you. But there’s only one thing left to do now.""And what’s that?"Eugene gestured toward a door. "Confront him."I glanced at Zaverio,

    EUGENEI let out a long breath, my chest tightening with frustration. “This isn’t fair, Kyle. Shawna’s done nothing wrong, and yet she’s the one getting torn apart. Meanwhile, the real criminals get to walk free.”Kyle nodded slowly, his expression dark. “Yeah. And if we don’t do something fast, this thing will bury her.”I leaned forward, pressing my palms against the table. “The worst part? She doesn’t even deserve this. She worked hard, followed the rules, and now her whole reputation is on the line because of a lie.” I clenched my fists. “It’s infuriating.”Kyle studied me, his eyes sharp. “You really care about this, don’t you?”I scoffed. “Of course, I do! I may not have always been on Shawna’s side, but I know she’s not guilty. And I can’t just sit back and let them ruin her.”Kyle leaned back, rubbing his jaw again. “The way things are going, it won’t be long before she’s facing real charges. If that happens, we might not be able to help her at all.”I swallowed the lump formi

    SHAWNAI stared at the screen, my hands cold and shaking. Greg Dawson’s words echoed in my head.“She told me to cut costs. Said to ‘make it work’ no matter what.”Lies. All of it.I fumbled with my phone, trying to find his number. I dialed, pressed call. It rang once. Twice. Then, it said the same thing.“This number is no longer in service.”I swore under my breath, trying again. Same result. I tried another number, one I had from years ago when we first worked together. Straight to voicemail.“Damn it.”Phoebe was watching me, her face tight with worry. “Mom?”I exhaled sharply. “He’s not picking up.”Jasper paced across the room. “That’s because he’s too busy lying on national TV.”Zaverio sat on the armrest of the couch, arms crossed. “We need to get ahead of this.”Billy scowled. “How? The guy just threw Mom under the bus.”I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I need to find him. I need to talk to him.”Before anyone could respond, my phone buzzed. A new number. I answered fast.“

    SHAWNAPhoebe and I barely made it through the front door before I saw them waiting, Jasper, Billy, and Zaverio. Their faces were tight, eyes scanning me and Phoebe like they were expecting the worst.Jasper stepped forward first, his brows furrowed. “You okay?” His voice was tense, but there was something else there too and that was concern.I sighed, rubbing my face. “No. But that doesn’t matter right now.”Billy’s eyes flicked between me and Phoebe. “What happened?” He took a step closer to Phoebe, checking her over like he expected to see injuries. “Are you hurt?”Phoebe shook her head quickly. “I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine,” Jasper muttered, folding his arms. His eyes narrowed on her clothes, the dust on her jacket, the faint scratch on her arm. “What the hell happened out there?”Phoebe hesitated. I could tell she didn’t want to say it.Zaverio, silent until now, gave me a knowing look. “Trouble?”I exhaled sharply. “A crowd recognized Phoebe on her way to the warehouse.”Bil

    PHOEBEI couldn’t tell where we were going. I could barely think.“Car. Now,” Ramon ordered, his voice sharp.I barely heard him over the shouting, but I nodded, running when he did. We pushed past people, dodging debris. My heart was hammering so hard it hurt.Finally, we broke through the crowd. Ramon yanked open the car door, practically shoving me inside before slamming his own door shut.“Lock the doors,” he said, breathless.I did.For a second, we just sat there. The chaos outside continued, but inside the car, it was silent except for the sound of our breathing.My hands were shaking. My whole body was shaking.Ramon’s jaw was clenched. His knuckles were white against the steering wheel. “That was bad,” he muttered.I let out a shaky laugh, though there was no humor in it. “No kidding.”He exhaled through his nose, his grip loosening just a little. “We’re going home.”“No.” My voice was stronger than I expected. “Take me to my mom.”“Phoebe…”“I’m not leaving her there.” I tur

    PHOEBEI was halfway through reviewing the latest architectural sketches when my phone buzzed, vibrating insistently against the wooden desk. I barely glanced at the screen before answering."Hello?""Phoebe, have you seen the news?" Billy’s voice was tight with urgency.A strange sense of dread curled in my stomach. "No, why? What happened?"There was a pause, too long. My fingers tightened around the phone."Check now," Jasper’s voice cut in, sharp with worry. "It’s bad. Really bad."I fumbled for the remote with one hand, my other gripping the phone like a lifeline. My heart pounded as I pressed the power button.The screen flickered to life, and I felt my breath hitch.Lancaster Empire was plastered across every channel, the words BREAKING NEWS flashing in bold red banners beneath a flurry of images. Protesters flooded the streets, waving signs that screamed MURDERERS and JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS. News anchors spoke in grim tones, standing in front of the remains of our warehouse,
