ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE

JOCELIA'S POVI drove to my father’s penthouse, feeling knots of anxiety twist in my stomach. I’d failed to get Sylvia out of Grayson’s life, lost the court case, and now Grayson had thrown me out. Sylvia was closer to him than ever. My grip on the steering wheel tightened as I imagined the fury I was about to face.I glanced in the rearview mirror at the bags in the backseat, a tear escaping my eye. I quickly wiped it away, trying to steady myself before facing my father’s anger.I finally pulled up to the penthouse and sat in the car for a moment, taking a deep breath to steady myself. The drive had been exhausting, and I needed a minute to collect my thoughts. I finally got out and approached the building staff, asking them to bring up my bags and luggage. They nodded and began to handle the heavy lifting.I walked over to the elevator, pressing the button to the top floor. As the doors slid open, I stepped inside, my mind racing with everything I had to do. I could already imagine

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO

SYLVIA'S POV I woke up the next morning with my head resting on Grayson's chest. His steady heartbeat was comforting, and I couldn’t help but smile as I looked up at him. “Careful not to fall in love,” Gray murmured with his eyes still closed, his voice carrying a teasing note. I chuckled softly and playfully hit him with a pillow. “You’re so full of it,” I said, smiling at Grayson, who chuckled at the exchange. Grayson wrapped an arm around me briefly before I got up. “I’ve got to get the kids ready for school,” I said, stretching and heading toward the bathroom. As I walked away, I heard Grayson’s soft laughter behind me, and I felt a warmth in my chest that made getting up early a little easier. I walked into the kids’ room and found them still curled up under their blankets. I leaned in and gently shook them awake, but they just burrowed deeper, pretending to stay asleep. Smiling, I decided it was time for a little fun. I started tickling them, and soon enough, their gigg

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE

SYLVIA'S POVI glanced over at Grayson as I finished getting ready. He was leaning against the doorframe, watching me with that familiar, intense gaze. I smiled at him through the mirror.He strolled over, wrapping his arms around me from behind and pressing a soft kiss to my neck. “You’re making me late,” I teased, trying to sound exasperated, though I couldn't hide the smile on my face.Grayson grunted softly, his warm breath tickling my ear. “Alright alright.....go on then, finish up. I’ll wait.”With a playful roll of my eyes, I slipped into my shoes and grabbed my purse. “Alright, alright. Let’s get out of here before we’re both late,Grayson and I stood by the door, the weight of the conversation settling between us. "I'll call my real estate agent and have him start looking for a place for us today," Grayson said, his tone steady but with an edge of urgency.I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and nervousness. "I’d like to come along. I want to see the places too."Grayson raised

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR

JOCELIA'S POVI woke up that Monday morning feeling the weight of my troubles pressing down on me. As I stumbled out of bed, my head pounded with each step. I shuffled over to the mirror and took in the sight: dark bags under my eyes, dried tears streaking down my cheeks, and smudged eyeliner from last night’s breakdown. My hair was a mess, just like my life.Just as I was trying to pull myself together, the door to my room swung open. It was the new maid, and she hadn’t knocked. I lost it immediately. I shouted at her, calling her a fool for barging in, and before I could stop myself, I slapped her. I told her that if she ever came into my room without knocking again, I’d make sure her life was a living hell.The maid was crying, saying she was new and didn’t realize someone was in the room—this was only her second day, and there had been no one in the room yesterday. I told her to make my bed, and as she worked, I asked if my dad was awake.“Yes,” she replied through her tears. “He

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE

ALICE'S POVI sat in the upscale café, the soft hum of conversations creating a low background buzz. The elegant decor and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee provided a calming atmosphere, a stark contrast to the tension I felt about to unfold. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself as I waited for Konrad and Jocelia to join me at the table.The waitress arrived, her notepad poised and ready. "Good afternoon. Can I take your orders?"I looked up from my menu, my gaze steady. "I'll have a cup of tea and some cookies, please."Konrad, his face set in a mask of stoic seriousness, glanced at Jocelia before replying. "Just bring me a glass of your finest gin and we won’t be needing anything at the moment, thank you."The waitress nodded and walked away, her footsteps fading as she headed back to the kitchen. I turned my full attention to Konrad and Jocelia, my mind racing through the details I needed to cover.“Now that we’re settled,” I began, my voice calm but firm, “we need to ad

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX

ALICE'S POVKonrad took a sip of his drink, his gaze never leaving mine. He was contemplating, I could tell. "Fine. Say we entertain this idea of yours. What exactly do you propose?"I smiled, sensing the shift in his attitude. "We work together to undermine Grayson’s foothold. I have access to information and resources that can be beneficial to both of us. With your influence and my connections, we can create a formidable front."Konrad’s eyes narrowed as he considered my proposal. "And what makes you think I can trust you? You’ve played dirty before, and your reputation precedes you."I met his stare head-on. "Trust is a luxury we can’t afford. But mutual benefit is something we can both understand. I’m not asking for blind trust; I’m asking for a partnership based on clear, mutual goals."Jocelia looked skeptical. “And how do you propose we do that?”“Simple, we frame him” I sipped my tea, relishing the warmth as it flowed down my throat. Across from me, Konrad shifted uneasily in

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY SEVEN

ALICE'S POVI sat across from Konrad in the dimly lit room of his office. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and the air seemed to vibrate with the weight of our high-stakes negotiation. Konrad, with his sharp features and authoritative presence, looked at me with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. His gaze was intense, almost like it could cut through any pretense.“Why would you do something like this for me and my company?” Konrad asked, his voice measured but clearly skeptical. “You’ve always been a greedy bastard. Why would you share a piece of the Lockwood pie with us?”I smirked, keeping my expression cool and calculated despite the swirl of thoughts in my head. “Oh, I’m still a greedy bastard, Konrad. Don’t get me wrong. But this isn’t about altruism or some sudden change of heart. This is about creating a situation where we all win.”I leaned back in my chair, tapping lightly on the armrests. “Think of it as a strategic move. You’re getting a significant stake in Lockwood,

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHT

ALICE'S POVI gathered myself in my sit “Konrad, I need you to persuade the board members,” I began, my voice steady and authoritative. “Get them on our side so that we can push through the vote to remove Grayson as CEO. This is crucial. If we’re going to make a move, it has to be calculated and precise.”Konrad leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing thoughtfully. “And what about you, Alice? What will you be doing while I’m handling the board?”I met his gaze without flinching. “I’ll be pushing the motion from our end. I need to ensure that the proposal is not only solid but also appealing to the key stakeholders. My presence at the meeting will reinforce our commitment to the cause.”Konrad’s smile widened, a mixture of approval and cunning. “Alright then. I’ll get to work on persuading the board. We should have everything lined up in a few days. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”As he stood to leave, Konrad turned to Jocelia, who had been quietly observing from a corner o

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE

ALICE'S POVThe restaurant was emptying now, perfect for intimate conversations. William and I were still seated in a secluded corner, away from the other diners. A large round table, covered with crisp white linen, held a few scattered papers and a steaming cup of coffee that I sipped absentmindedly.William shifted uncomfortably in his seat, a frown creasing his brow as he looked across the table at me. “So, why didn’t you tell me this was your plan? Working with Mr. Konrad and Jocelia? I held back my opinions in their presence because I didn’t want them to see us as a united front, but now I’m starting to wonder what the point was.”I looked up from my coffee, a knowing smile curling on my lips. “Good thing you didn’t let on. I’m actually not planning to work with Konrad and Jocelia. It was all a ruse, a smokescreen. Their plan will never work.”William blinked in confusion. “Wait, what? But you laid out this entire elaborate scheme involving Konrad and Jocelia. Are you saying it’s

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY

ALICE'S POVWilliam and I still sat in out seats eating the fluffy pie, surrounded by the rich aroma of glavours and old books. I could feel he was still puzzled about the whole thing, I sighed knowing he wanted to say something again. William leaned back in his chair, his frown deepening as he listened to my latest scheme.“So, let me get this straight,” William said, narrowing his eyes as he tried to grasp my plan. “You want Konrad to not only give us Grayson’s shares but also agree to a marriage proposal for his daughter, Jocelia?”I nodded slightly, maintaining my usual composed demeanor. “Exactly. Konrad is driven by his ego and his need for respect. If we play this right, he’ll be so blinded by the prospect of marrying his daughter to Grayson and the chance to rejuvenate his failing company that he won’t see the real danger. He’ll be too busy gloating over his daughter’s marriage and the revival of his company to notice our true intentions.”William’s mouth dropped open slightly
