Michael's pov - We are 15 minutes away from the office and its traffic signal. Suddenly, a crowd of reporters is in front of my car. The police order us to get in the way as others won't need to face trouble for me. I nod and park my car at the side. I came out with Jack from the car.

It's a sight that brings immense satisfaction to my heart. Michael, once a rising star, now stands helplessly in the face of scandal and public scrutiny. "You can't get on top, Michael," I mutter to myself, relishing the moment. "I will pull you down, always." As the news continues, I revel in the chaos and turmoil that engulfs Michael's life.

Julie, my ally in this game of deception, plays her role flawlessly, ensuring that Michael's reputation crumbles under the weight of the allegations. But this is just the beginning.

Tuberose 28. William's Burning Wrath
William's pov - I am eagerly watching the live news coverage of Michael's downfall. The satisfaction that had filled me earlier now transforms into seething anger as I witness an unexpected turn of events. Abigail, that conniving woman, has entered the scene, taking charge and leading Michael away from the clutches of the media. A surge of rage courses through my veins as I witness Abigail's audacity to interfere, to stand by Michael's side and shield him from the storm I carefully orchestrated. How dare she inserts herself into our game? How dare she take control and manipulate the situation to her advantage? I clench my fists, my knuckles turning white with the intensity of my fury. This was not part of the plan. Abigail was not meant to play a role in Michael's redemption. It was supposed to be me, the architect of his downfall, who would revel in his demise. But no, Abigail has stolen the spotlight, becoming the unexpected savior in this wretched tale. I watch in helpless frust

We know that time is not on our side. Less than a month remains, and the impending impact on the business looms over us like a dark cloud. But the presence of Julie, a pawn in William's game, threatens to unravel all our plans. Jack, his face etched with frustration, paces back and forth. "Damn it, Michael! How did we let this happen? Julie is nothing but a tool for William, and now she's causing havoc in our lives." I can sense the frustration building within Jack, and I share his sentiments. This turn of events has put our entire strategy in jeopardy. It's clear that William sees Michael as his rival, and Julie is just a means to an end. I gather my thoughts, trying to come up with a solution. "Jack, we need to think strategically. We can't let Julie's actions dictate our course of action. We have to tu

Abigail's pov - Our preparations with the tech team are finally complete. We've arranged for three different hotels as backup options, just in case Julie denies the first one. We can't afford any slip-ups in our plan. The tension hangs in the air as we approach the crucial moment. It's time to make the call to Julie. I turn to Michael, my voice filled with a mix of anxiety and determination. "Put the call on the loudspeaker, Michael. We need to ensure that everything is recorded." Michael nods, his fingers poised over the phone. He dials Julie's number, and as the line connects, my heart skips a beat. A seductive voice greets us on the other end, calling out Michael's name. I can't help but feel a pang of jealousy and disgust, but I push those emotions aside. This is all part of the plan. Michael takes a deep breath as the call connects, his voice filled with a confident charm. "Julie, it's been too long. I can't resist the urge to see you tonight. How about meeting me at the Carlt

Julie's pov - I've been eagerly anticipating this day since the moment I laid eyes on Michael back in college. All those stolen glances, the subtle exchanges of flirtation—they were all leading up to this moment. And now, finally, I have him. I'm getting ready to meet him, and I want to look my absolute best. I stand in front of the mirror, carefully applying my makeup. I opt for a sultry, smoky eye, accentuated by a touch of shimmering gold. My lips are painted a bold shade of crimson, perfectly matching the fiery desire burning inside me. With each stroke of the brush, I feel myself transforming into the irresistible woman I've always wanted to be. As I finish my makeup, I turn my attention to the dress I've chosen. It's a form-fitting black cocktail dress that hugs my curves in all the right places. The neckline plunges slightly, teasingly showcasing a hint of my décolletage. The back is open, revealing just enough skin to leave Michael yearning for more. The dress is my weapon,

Michael's pov - As I wait for Julie's arrival, my mind races with anticipation and anxiety. So much is riding on this night, on her confession. Will she finally reveal her truth, or will our plan be doomed to failure? But I have to pretend properly as she can't guess my feelings. Suddenly, a soft knock on the door jolts me from my thoughts. I take a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart, and make my way toward the entrance. As I open the door, there she stands, a vision of beauty that takes my breath away. She really got ready for me. Poor girl, I have to break her heart. "Julie," I say, my voice laced with awe, "you look absolutely stunning." A faint blush tinges on her cheeks, adding a touch of innocence to her allure. She glances down, a shy smile gracing her lips, before meeting my gaze again.

Michael's touch on Julie's skin sends shivers down her spine, and I can't help but feel a pang of envy. Her delicate frame quivers under his caress, and in that moment, I wish it were me in her place, feeling his warmth, his affection. But I know this is merely a charade, a carefully orchestrated act to expose her deceit. Every sweet word that slips from Michael's lips, every loving gesture he makes towards Julie, fuels the flames of jealousy within me.
