LEO POV

"This scandal is very huge, Leo. The FBI will soon investigate the case and that is the start of a bad reputation in the public eye. We need to move fast and get that person who gave the channel those evidences," Jude said with bated breath.

I could not sit still because my brain was rewinding and recollecting several events in the company. It was for a surety that the mastermind was in the company. "I won't sit around and wait anymore. I need to meet Mr. Matt. He's supposed to be an opposition and not a serious contender. I guess father's death gave him the zeal to desire my position," I said.

"You have to be careful in all you do. People know have eyes on you everywhere. Confronting him can make you a more guilty culprit before the board and the FBI when they're having the investigation. We need to thread carefully," Emily said.

"Don't worry. I've got it under control. I'll go alone so he won't see me as a threat. I'll be able to tell from his reaction if he's the culprit t

    LEO POVI sped like a crazy man to the location where I had agreed to meet the strange woman. The moment I stepped out of the car, I knew she was the one standing by the street lamp with a black cloak which gave me the chills. I approached her but she turned into the street then sent me a message.PL Restaurant. Meet me at table 10"What the hell is going on? Who's this woman?!" I exclaimed then moved in the direction of the restaurant. It was packed full with people but I was glad I had my cap and glasses on. I maneuvered till I arrived at table 10. Then a woman sat on the chair opposite me all of a sudden and started browsing through her phone. Then she spoke to me without a glance at my face."I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm only protecting myself," she said."From who or what? Who are you?" I asked."I'm Eve, an attendant at the morgue where your father was kept," she replied."Why do we have to meet in secret and who are you hiding from?" I asked."Your father did not die of high

    LEO POVI sensed that Emily felt uneasy with the current situation of things but I needed to clear her name more than anything else. I pulled my attention away from Kay and focused on the cameras."Hello everyone. My name is Leo Robbins, Emily Robinson husband. It's pretty recent news that my wife was involved in an identity crisis. I appreciate the support of everyone who kept believing in my family and also to my fans who were relentless in vouching for me. However, I want to make some clarification," I said then surveyed the area once more. Kay was nowhere to be found which gave me an uneasy feeling. He must have done something but what could he have done? Or he probably came around to make me uneasy. Emily's skin moved against mine for a brief moment and it got me back to the present. I had almost spaced out."The fact about my wife being Stevens or Jones was not an identity she cooked up to fool me. I came up with the idea due to personal reasons and she had to agree because I ma

    LEO POVI signaled to Jude to stop the conference while I grabbed Emily's hand. It was time we left the auditorium and faced other businesses. I already got the answer to the unanswered questions that plagued my mind. Kay was involved with some of the journalists. I was positive that he was involved with the lady who sat at the back seat. Kay had made it obvious that he was the enemy and probably the mastermind of the embezzlement scandal. The reporters followed us as we moved briskly to the car which was waiting outside the building. In a few minutes we were away from the rowdy crowd."Did you notice that Kay was in the crowd?" Emily asked."I saw him," I answered."I get a really bad feeling that Kay was the person who embezzled all that money and pinned it on you. He is such a scamming bastard," she said and hit her fist on the car seat."Since father had died, he's trying to turn things in his favor. I bet he set up these online trolls to suggest that I stepped down. Step down?!

    LEO POVMy mind went blank at my only chance at finding my father's murderer. The CCTV recording was my cue that would lead on to other evidences but I found nothing. The recording had been altered. "No! No! No!" I cried then stormed to the operator guy. I gave him a hard smack on his back and screamed, "wake up, man!" He stood up abruptly then bored in fear as our eyes met. "I'm very sorry," he said."That's besides the point. Get here," I ordered him and we moved to the control panel."Why are there so many altered parts of the recording and why are there no recording at certain points at all?" I asked."Altered?" he asked then began to search through the recordings. He shot a glance at my direction then cowered in fear at his realization. "The system sometimes shut itself down especially at nights but Mr. Robbins said it was just a simple malfunction. I started working here a month ago so I can't really tell much about it," the operator stuttered as he spoke. I felt like pounci

I had stopped working with any department due to the crisis the family was facing. I sent tongues wagging the moment I stepped into the building. I was overly self-conscious but I hid my fear by making it with a feigned confidence. I was there to play detective so I had to focus. If someone had to frame Leo embezzling company funds, the person must definitely have a mole in the finance department. Leo was on it and he got a private investigator to check things but I felt the process was too slow. I could easily do an insider job since I had worked in the company and was close to a few staff members. "Hey, Emily!" Jeff called from a distance. I wanted to move away as soon as I sighted him but he caught up with me. "Hi, Jeff. It's been a while," I said"I read the news and watched your press conference," he said.

I asked."Don't worry about my face, Emily. What was it you wanted to inform me about?" he asked. Since he was not ready to talk about it, I shrugged then pulled out the document and stretched it to him. "I met Jeff today and he gave me this," I said. He took the document and perused it then his eyes met mine."I knew that Kay was behind it," he said, confirming his suspicion."Jeff also told me that Kay has been meeting the board executives to turn them against you," I explained."How did he know all of this and why didn't he tell me. I go to that office almost everyday," he said."He said he had to be careful and he was also present at one of the meetings Kay had with an executive. Jeff is not really the most reliable person but this is a lead that points to the fact that Kay did all this," I said."Well, he's made

He obviously set up a diversion so he can play the hero,” I said then grabbed my tablet and tuned it in to the video of his press conference.My hand folded into a fist and I glared at him through the video. Surprisingly, Leo was calm. He simply watched in silence.Kay had mounted the podium and he came close to the microphone and said, “I appreciate the love and support you all had shown to me and my family since we lost my father, Mr. Robbins who has been a great leader and role model in this country, the United States of America…”Jude stepped into our car and sat at the driver’s seat then turned back to see us watching the live coverage of the event.“Kay played a fast one on us.

That’s the last thing I want right now,” I replied.“Okay then. I’ll get the gadgets ready. All you need to do is get it in and say the word. Then we’re good to go,” he said.“And one more thing. I do not want anyone else to know about this. This plan must not flop,” I said.“I’ll be handling it myself. You can count on me,” he replied.“Why is she counting on you?” Leo asked all of a sudden. He was sweating all over and he had his shorts and shirt on.“Hey babe,” I said then stood up to embrace him. I began to pray that he’s forget what he heard. He encircled my waist with his hands and laid kisses over my face then my lips. I pulled back and stared at his face while caressing his strong arms.“You should get a shower. You stink,” I said.“On it. Meanwhile, why are you counting on him? Do you need some

The more cooperative you are, the better your chances of getting a lesser sentence," the head of the investigation bureau said.Unexpectedly, Emily showed up at the bureau. One of my men came running to me where I stood with Jude in the interrogations room."Mrs. Emily is here and wants to meet you," he said. "Did she know about it?" I asked Jude."I gave them instructions to only apprehend the guys so she wouldn't be too shocked. They didn't wait for the guys to make a move before arresting them," Jude explained."So how did she get the drift?" I asked then left the interrogation room. Jude and the other man followed me as I stepped out of the building. Emily stood by the car and when she saw me, she walked briskly to meet me.

That's when we would strike," he explained."Good! Don't toy with my wife. If your plan might fail, get her arrested immediately," I ordered."Yes boss," he replied and I cut the call. "Something happened?" Jude asked."Annabel's planning something. I knew that she wouldn't back down with all the messages she kept sending me," I said."After what happened between you two, she's bound to keep coming back," Jude said "Nothing happened between us. I made it clear that I did not want her after she attacked Emily," I said."But she came back, didn't she?" Jude said "Why did I ever tell you about it?"

"You'll be leaving a lot of memories," she said."I know but I've got bad memories here than the good ones. I'm done with this kind of life. I only want to make good memories now," I said and turned to her. "I want to make good memories with you," I added.She beamed then looked around the house."You won't visit anymore?" She asked."Yes, I'm closing it down," I replied."This is goodbye then," she said."Yeah, it is," I responded, looking around the house once more for one last time. "Let's go," I said and we walked down the driveway to the entrance of the estate. Then I directed my men to lock up the gate.

Just as I had guessed, he had been a victim of the MIR project and had recently died. "I am a bad father. How could I have worked for those who killed my son," he said, beating his chest repeatedly. "I am sorry," I said with my head facing the ground. I was ashamed to look him in the eyes. "Bring my child back! Bring him back!" he yelled dragging me by the collar. My men moved to separate him from me but I gestured to them to stop. I deserved that much for being a Robbins. After pacifying him, I left his house with Emily and my men. Emily had gotten emotional and she kept wiping her face as we drove to another part of the city to tender our apology.

The route is longer but you'll be fine," I said, describing the direction to the driver. He rolled out of the crowd area and drove off the place I had mentioned. After a few minutes, we arrived at the other entrance and parked at the garage. The office was disorganized when we stepped in. The employees hurried around the lobby when I appeared. I bet they all had rumors to tell about me but I cared less. I was snot going to let the company sink even if I had to go to extremes. The board executives were seated when I arrived. Not one person was missing from the table. I sat down and Emily sat beside me while Jude stood behind me. I felt I didn't need moral support but I was not as strong as I thought.

I completely agree with him and would do as he says," she said."And I said that I'm not interested in resting. Is that so hard to understand?" I asked."Why are you like this, Leo?

I yelled and he followed. The guy who had kept an eye on Kay began to give us directions till we arrived at the other entrance of the cave at the other end of the estate. While we made our way there, I saw the storage room where the drugs were kept. Then I saw some corpses, dead bodies of men who could not stand the drugs as they were too powerful. It could never be approved by the government. I was astonished to see that there was another passage outside the estate that led to the underground tunnel. Once we stepped out, I noticed some fresh foot prints on the ground. Kay had least expected the attack so he had nothing prepared. I raced after him with Silas until we came face to face."Hey!!!
