Maxwell looked shocked, but he did not deny it. Racheal stepped back. Shocked. Who was this person? This was a man she loved at one point, but did she know him at all?“You dated three sisters and f*cked two? Who are you, Maxwell?”“Don’t judge me.”“Don’t judge you?” She found herself yelling. Then she stopped. She was in front of her company. A company she just became the CEO of. She should not be seen acting like this outside on her first day.She turned and started to walk towards her car. Maxwell followed her. She should have known. He only cared about his child, not exactly the Rana sisters.She got in her car, but he followed, and sat in it. Isaac was watching her for a signal to haul him out. She shook her head. The last thing she wanted was to cause a scene.She signaled for Isaac to get in, and turned to Maxwell.“This is your chance to leave now. I am going home.”“You have not given me a response.”The car began to move as the chauffeur pulled out of the building.

He pulled out a flash drive from the envelope, and held his breath as he plugged it in. He had recently discovered too many secrets at this point through a flash drive, and he had a familiar feeling of dread in his belly as he watched the file load.The audio clip was short, but it was the date that mattered, July 10, 2021. It was a call made in the early hours of the morning that Skylar died.“Still on for today?”That was clearly Roberts Sanders’ voice. “Yes.”It was a one-word response from Roni, but it meant everything. Just when he thought the clip would end with nothing more. He heard.“You should be the president in six hours.”He moved his chair back and stood up. He walked to a wall and screamed, not minding if anyone could hear him through the open windows.This was what they had killed Skylar for? Power? The stupid presidential seat was what he had lost his sister for? And his parents had somehow stupidly let that happen, especially Danna, because of her unreasonable

He sighed in relief, and led her up the elevator to the restaurant. He took her to another table, more discreet than the one he had been watching her from. The table was laid out already as he had instructed just before he had run out. He had been so scared when he looked up, and saw the meeting had ended and no one was sitting there anymore.She looked at the table, her face expressionless. He was unable to judge what she thought. He missed the time he could do that.He hurried ahead and pulled out a chair for her.“Thank you.” She said politely.He took a seat opposite her, as the waiter arrived and asked her what she would eat first. He watched her as she spoke with the waiter. He knew she was aware he was staring at her, but she did not meet his eyes even once. Even with short hair, she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. And he had seen a lot of beautiful women as a billionaire who traveled often.But she was kind too, and always polite. She was aware of

“Robert planned that ambush for over one year. He merely found a good opportunity to execute it without getting his hands dirty.” He said, took his phone out and placed it on his father’s desk.He played Ben's confession first. “That was when Racheal was framed for the vault robbery last year.” He said, watching his father after the video ended.He scrolled towards the evidence the little woman had sent earlier that day.He played it, and watched his father as he listened. Spencer was growing more restless and fidgety, and by the time the short audio clip was done, he was a mess.“Roberts? How could he do this?” Spencer stood up in disbelief.He watched his father quietly.“I planned to support him to become president as soon as my tenure was done. I even protected his daughter from your wrath.”He raised his eyebrows. Well, that was news to him. So his father had been protecting Thalia. “You are sure of this?” Spencer asked, turning to look at him. He quietly picked his phone fro

He walked out of the presidential villa for what he vowed would be the last time.He felt like a failure. He could not even kill his father. He had been determined to, but he couldn’t. He failed even in that.He got in his car and drove out of the villa. There was a stupendously large crowd of protesters gathered outside. The international journalist, Emily, recently released an article. A detailed account of how Spencer had killed the journalist at Racheal’s office and how he sent anyone that annoyed him to Tourris.As he drove away, he knew this was the last straw. Spencer would not last much longer as Yin’s president. It was either he was forced to step down, or he would get badly hurt by the citizens. Many people now hated him.He cursed, and punched the steering wheel again and again as he drove hard. Spencer was supposed to die by his hands. He yelled, and raged in his car. When he finally arrived home, he was exhausted. He climbed out of his car, and walked towards t
