Chapter 51: Nicole’s Wrath

Nicole sat on the plush velvet couch in Leo’s sprawling mansion, a steaming cup of tea balanced precariously on the small glass table in front of her. The late evening had settled into a calm rhythm, the crackling of the fireplace filling the room as Leo, Bella, and his grandmother joined her for what was supposed to be a relaxing night. The screen-size flat-screen wall TV flickered into life and flashed a news announcer excitedly articulating in voice crisp and distinctly clear, the latest news. "Breaking news tonight is the announcement made by the embattled CEO, Taylor Fury, of Taylons Enterprises, of his engagement to be married to the woman named Sarah Austins. Within the month, as stated, this wedding will finally happen and brings certain surprise twists amid the woes the family company is continuously facing."Nicole's fingers closed in a fist around the armrest of her chair. Her eyes remained glued to the screen as images of Taylor and Sarah, arm-in-arm, smiling for the pr

Chapter 52: Cracks in the Empire

The tension in the air was suffocating, a heavy weight that pressed down on Taylor as he walked into the headquarters of Taylons Enterprises. The once-vibrant office building now felt eerily quiet, a reflection of the company's crumbling state. The security personnel barely nodded; the usual professionalism had been marred by the uncertainty hanging like a dark cloud over everyone. Taylor quickened his steps toward his office, his mind jumbled. It was a storm brewing that he wasn't so sure he could handle.As he entered the boardroom, he was met by the grim, tight-lipped face of William Sharpe, the company’s CFO. “Mr. Fury, we’ve hit rock bottom,” William began without preamble. His voice was low but urgent, each word laced with desperation. “There’s nothing left in the reserves. We’re out of time. Out of options.”Taylor gritted his teeth on the insistent drumming of fingers against the wood burr veneer. "Cut down unnecessary expenses," he said, far sharper than he'd meant to. H

Chapter 53: The Protest

The chanting outside grew deafening, vibrating through the thick walls of Taylons Enterprises like a relentless drumbeat. Taylor stood by his office window, his expression unreadable but his clenched fists betraying the storm raging within him. Below, the crowd of protesters had swelled, their collective anger a palpable force. Workers chanted for wages, voices clear right to the executive floors. Placards waved above the sea of people, letters in bold facing him as an accusation: "Fraud!""Pay Us Now!""Taylor Fury Has Failed!"Company gates groaned with the surge of the crowd against them. Security guards were few in number and showed their anxiety, forming a shaking line to hold them back.Cues could be heard from some of the workers who had started to jingle the gate in frustration, boiling over into bouts of aggression. Taylor turned his face away from the window and faced his assistant, Samantha, who was standing ash pale, trembling at his desk. "Call the police," he ord

Chapter 54: Losing Control

The protesters had taken over the courtyard, their presence an overwhelming force that made Taylor's corner office feel like a cage. A sea of fury stretched as far as he could see, their chants battering the walls of Taylons Enterprises like a relentless storm. "Pay us now! Pay us now!" they screamed, their voices a cacophony of betrayal and desperation. Signs bobbed up and down in the crowd, each one a personal indictment of his leadership. There was thick tension in the air; the more one could choke from it, the more it grew deep in Taylor's chest, as if an anchor had been cast on his lungs, making breathing impossible.His assistant burst through the door. Her usually impeccable appearance told a different story now: her jacket awry, a few strands of hair hanging loose from their normally disciplined bun. "They have breached the gates," she whispered, shaking.The usually composed woman was now pale, her eyes darting from the window to Taylor. "We need to leave. Security says

Chapter 55: The Vote

Taylor entered the boardroom the next morning, each step heavy with dread. The atmosphere was tense, with board members seated around the imposing mahogany table, their faces stern and unyielding. At the far end, Veronica sat silently, her worry evident in her pale complexion.The chairman wasted no time. "Today, we will vote on whether Taylor Fury should remain as CEO of Taylons Enterprises."The votes were cast, and it would appear that Taylor's heart was leading the race, each ballot like a nail in his professional coffin. The announcement by the chairman only reaffirmed those deep-seated fears of his."The board has voted. Effective immediately, Taylor Fury is removed as CEO of Taylons Enterprises."The room was wrapped in stunned silence. Taylor's grip on the armrests of his chair tightened, the knuckles blanching. "You can't do this," he protested, tremors running through his voice."It's done," the chairman said with finality. "You're no longer in charge."Fluctuating upward,

Chapter 56: The Smell of Sabotage 

Taylor's office, once a sanctuary of power and control, now felt like a cage. The walls, adorned with accolades and framed contracts spanning two decades of success, seemed to close in on him. Late afternoon sunlight filtered in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and cast long shadows on the Persian rug.The troubling recent protest, his removal and the unbelievable appointment of his wife, Sarah, as new CEO built up to the whirling dervish that threatened to consume him now. She came into the room, her movement sure and measured, heels ticking across hardwood flooring.She wore the expression of concern and determination; even her designer suit had emerged unscathed after the tension of the day. "Taylor, we need to talk," she began in a smooth, velvety voice laced with urgency that raised the fine hairs at the back of his neck.He looked up from his desk, and in his eyes, could be seen a mix between betrayal and disbelief; the wedding ring on his finger now seemed to feel heavi

Chapter 57: A Crumbling Throne

The weight of disgrace hung in the air like a storm cloud, heavy and suffocating. Taylor sat slumped in the corner of an upscale hotel suite, the plush furnishings around him seeming like mockery rather than comfort. Empty bottles of bourbon and discarded takeout containers littered the coffee table, a testament to the days he had spent drowning in despair.The recent headlines had been merciless: "Taylons Empire Toppled," "Taylor Fury Dethroned," and "A Family Scandal Like No Other." His dismissal from the company he once dictated the fate of was music to the ears of former employees, exciting for some media houses, and hopeful for the shareholders who saw this as an opportunity to reform.But for Taylor Fury? It was a shadow of the man he used to be. Every word of the articles was a stab in his pride, dragging him down to his knees. The knock at the door snapped him from the somber mood. He didn’t answer. Whoever it was could get the fuck out, the same way as everyone else

Chapter 58: The Last Stand

Two days ago....Taylor’s jaw tightened as he surveyed the dimly lit conference room. The air was thick with tension, and the faces around the table were a blend of skepticism and cautious optimism. These were the few board members he trusted—the ones who hadn’t betrayed him, who had shown him nothing short of absolute loyalty since the company had fired him."With a tool we can end this once and for all,” Taylor started, his emotions drowned with determination. “If Taylons Enterprises does not find a new big investor soon, it will go bankrupt.” "New leadership is most likely to start dismantling companies and selling them in bits. If they succeed," he said, "there will be nothing left to save."Silence filled the room like a shroud.At the far end of the table, sat a man of considerable age, named Mr Hughes, who was the first to break the silence. "Can I be blunt, Taylor? Investors are not fools and they don’t invest in a business that is going down the drain. Why would anyone st

Chapter 59: Nicole's Dark Resolve

Nicole stood on the balcony overlooking the sprawling garden below, the early morning air cool against her skin. The birds chirped faintly, but their melody did nothing to soothe the storm raging within her. She had decided on a course of action, and however hard the situation was, she knew just what she had to do. For weeks, she prepared her mind for this occasion, and now it had come.Leo walked into the room, his expression an image of confusion with an air of concern. "You want to leave?" he inquired, his voice almost tinged with disbelief.Nicole turned to him, her face cool yet unyielding. "Yes, Leo. Your grandmother is much better now. Even her doctor confirmed this and said she is well on the road to recovery. My job here is done."His brow furrowed. "But what about us? What about everything we've built together? Nicole, you know how I feel about you."Her heart contracted with his words, and for one moment, she wanted to stay. But the memory of what the Fury family had done

Chapter 60: Desperation for Survival

The once-mighty Taylons Enterprises was on its last legs. For three grueling months, Taylor watched helplessly as the company spiraled deeper into financial ruin. Investors had abandoned the ship, wary of associating their wealth with what now appeared to be a sinking vessel. Out of the original eight investors who had remained after the massive breakdown, three more had withdrawn just two days ago. More uncertainty with each passing day, the pressure of failure weighed heavier in Taylor's chest.Inside the Fury household, things were not different from the chaos at the company.Anger had simmered within Taylor always, until today, which finally started to boil over.It blew its stack in the living room with Sarah standing her ground, red with indignation."How could you even believe I did this?" she screamed, her blue eyes ablaze. She jabbed an accusing finger in his direction. "I have stood by you through all that has happened, Taylor, and this is the thanks I get?"Taylor's fist
