The room was dimly lit, with long shadows cast by the single chandelier that hung overhead. The scent of cigars and expensive cologne lingered in the air, a silent reminder of the wealth and power that surrounded the table. Victor sat at the head, a self-satisfied smirk playing on his lips as he swirled his whiskey glass, the amber liquid catching the faint light.Around him sat his most trusted associates—men and women who had aligned themselves with him in the hostile takeover of Kendrick Enterprises. Each of them had played a crucial role in toppling the once-mighty empire, and now they were ready to reap the rewards.Victor cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention. “Gentlemen and ladies, we’ve gathered here today to discuss our next move. As of now, we are officially in control of Kendrick Enterprises.” He raised his glass, a sharp glint in his eye. “And I think it’s time we made some changes.”The room erupted into murmurs of approval, with heads nodding in agreement.

“What about Ivy Kendrick? She’s been spending time with Luca, and from what I hear, she’s not exactly on board with this new regime. If she starts poking around, we could have a problem.”Bella scoffed. “Ivy Kendrick is an airhead. She’s more interested in playing dress-up and partying than running a company. Let her play her little games with Luca. She’s no threat to us.”Victor frowned slightly but didn’t argue. “We’ll keep an eye on Ivy, just in case. If she starts to become a problem, we’ll deal with her. But for now, our focus should be on draining the accounts and preparing to release the evidence.”Damien raised his glass. “To the fall of Kendrick Enterprises.”The group clinked their glasses together, the sound of their toast echoing through the room like the ringing of a death knell for the Kendricks.As the night wore on, the conversation grew more animated, with the associates discussing the finer details of their plan. Each of them contributed their expertise, ensuring tha

The hospital room was dimly lit, only the soft hum of machines filling the silence. Ryan Kendrick lay in the bed, his face pale but his sharp eyes alert. Luca sat beside him, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, listening closely as Ryan recounted the fragmented memories that had finally started to return to him.“So, you remember everything?” Luca asked, keeping his voice low. His eyes scanned the room, almost as if he expected someone to be listening in. Ryan nodded slowly, his voice rough from disuse. “Almost everything. It’s still fuzzy in parts, but I know enough to understand what’s going on.” He shifted slightly, grimacing from the pain in his side. “I need you to promise me something, Luca.”Luca’s brow furrowed, concerned. “What is it?”Ryan took a deep breath, glancing towards the door before meeting Luca’s gaze. “You can’t tell anyone I’ve regained my memory. Not yet.”Luca blinked, surprised. “Not even Ivy?”Ryan’s expression hardened. “Especially not Ivy.”Luca le

“I have recordings, Ryan. Of Victor and the others. They’re planning to empty the company’s accounts and expose your father’s dirty dealings to ruin his name. They think they’ve already won.”Ryan’s face hardened further, a dark storm brewing in his eyes. “Good. Let them think they’ve won. It’ll make it that much sweeter when we take them down.”There was a pause, the weight of the conversation hanging in the air. Luca shifted in his seat, thinking about the gravity of their situation. This wasn’t just about saving Kendrick Enterprises—it was about taking back control from everyone who had betrayed Ryan.“So,” Luca began cautiously, “how do we go about this without tipping anyone off? You know your mother is going to be watching closely. If she senses anything, she’ll act.”Ryan’s eyes narrowed, his mind already working through the details. “We need to make her believe she’s in control. Let her think everything is going according to her plan. Meanwhile, we gather our evidence, quietl

Ivy paced the polished marble floors of the Kendrick mansion, her phone pressed tightly to her ear as her heart raced. The voice on the other end of the line was cold, indifferent, delivering a message that felt like a punch to the gut.“I’m sorry, Ivy, but we have no choice. Effective immediately, you are relieved of your position with the agency. The accusations of stolen designs are serious, and we can’t afford to keep you on under these circumstances.”Ivy’s breath hitched in her throat. “Stolen designs? That’s insane! I’ve been loyal to this company for years. I created those designs myself!” Her voice shook with disbelief, and her hands trembled as she struggled to maintain composure.“Ivy, the evidence is all over the internet. We’ve received multiple complaints from other designers. You’re trending on every major blog and social media platform right now, and it’s not in a good way. Our hands are tied.”The call ended abruptly, leaving Ivy staring blankly at the phone in her h

The call ended, leaving Ivy even more devastated than before. She dropped the phone, her body going numb. Her world was truly falling apart.Luca’s eyes widened as he realized the magnitude of what was happening. “Ivy… we need to find out who’s behind this.”Just as he said that another notification popped up on Ivy’s phone—a headline that made both of them freeze."Bella Kendrick Inherits Major Shares in Kendrick Enterprises. A New Era Begins!"Ivy’s eyes narrowed as a dark realization dawned on her. “Bella…”Luca grabbed her phone and quickly read through the article. “She’s claiming your father left her a substantial part of the company. She’s using this scandal to distract everyone while she takes control.”Ivy’s hands clenched into fists, her anger now boiling over. “That bitch! She’s been plotting this the whole time.”Luca stood up, pacing the room as his mind worked through the possibilities. “It makes sense. Bella’s always wanted power, and now with Ryan out of commission and

Ryan sat on the edge of his hospital bed, still groggy from the effects of his recent injuries, when his phone buzzed on the bedside table. He picked it up, squinting at the bright screen. The notification that greeted him made his stomach churn—"Ivy Kendrick Caught in Stolen Design Scandal!" blared the headline, followed by endless comments tearing his sister apart. He stared at the screen in disbelief, scrolling through post after post that dragged Ivy’s name through the mud.“What the hell…?” Ryan muttered, his heart pounding as he quickly dialed Ivy's number. It rang once, twice, before Ivy’s shaky voice came through. “Hello?”“What the hell is going on, Ivy?” Ryan barked, his voice sharp with concern. “What is this? I’m seeing all over the Internet about you stealing designs. Is this some kind of joke?”Ivy sniffled on the other end, but before she could respond, Ryan cut her off. “I’ll be at the mansion in ten minutes.”He ended the call abruptly, his blood boiling.
