Chapter 61: Fractured Hopes

The airport was a hive of activity. Voices blended into a chaotic hum as travelers hurried past, dragging suitcases or clutching boarding passes. Taylor and Sarah moved briskly through the terminal, their expressions tense. Taylor carried Daniel on his hip, the little boy’s head resting sleepily on his father’s shoulder, while Sarah maneuvered their luggage through the crowd. Their flight to Rochester had been delayed, leaving them with barely enough time to catch their connecting ride. The situation had intensified the tension already simmering between them."I told you we should have left earlier," Sarah muttered under her breath, her tone sharp."And I told you the delay wasn't my fault," Taylor shot back, his voice low but irritated. "Let's focus on making the flight instead of pointing fingers."A tight line formed around Sarah's lips, but she said nothing. All the weight of their circumstance; their company's uncertain position, the intended meeting with her parents, just l

Chapter 62: The Offer

Two years had passed, and Taylons Enterprises was a shell of its former glory. The once-bustling offices, with their global recognitions, now echoed with emptiness. Where hundreds of staff once trooped down the corridors with cups of coffee and bundles of papers, a few remained now, their footsteps sounding lonely in the space. Most employees were laid off months ago when paychecks started to bounce.Those who stayed, did so out of some misplaced sense of loyalty, or perhaps because they could not bear to watch the final collapse of what was once the crown jewel of the city. Gone were Taylor's immaculately tailored suits, now rumpled shirts and loosened ties; that voice which had been a commanding tone was now husky from too many cigarettes and too much whiskey. He often, this days, spent his nights in The Golden Rose, one of the most exclusive bars in town, where what little remained of the company's money was being blown in on expensive bourbon and rigged poker games.Sometimes,

Chapter 63: A Ray of Hope

Taylor burst through the front door of his home, his footsteps echoing through the foyer with an urgency that hadn't been present in months. The familiar weight of despair that had been his constant companion had lifted, replaced by something that felt dangerously like hope."Sarah! Sarah, where are you?" he called out, his voice carrying a hint of his old confidence.Sarah came out of the kitchen, drying her hands on a dish towel. The afternoon light through the window showed the streaks of gray that had grown in her hair in the last two years -- years that had aged them both more than time should have.Her expression, upon seeing him, turned to that all-too-familiar look of guarded disappointment, the expression that had become her default, etched through many nights of waiting up for him to stumble home from The Golden Rose."What is it now, Taylor?" The words came out clipped, tired, as if she was already preparing herself for more bad news."You won't believe this," he said, un

Chapter 64: The Ghost Appears

The sun was gradually retarding for the day, but its rays still filtered through the transparent window curtains of the Fury mansion.Sarah stood at the kitchen window, her fingers drumming against the granite countertop as she mentally calculated what they needed from the store. The refrigerator was almost empty, and Daniel had been asking for his cereal for days now.All she could think about was how her little boy went to school every morning, his face falling in disappointment.She moved into the living room, her heels echoing off the silent walls.Taylor was not in his leather armchair; neither was he in his study, to which he retreated every time the subject of their worsening finances came up.Her calls to his cell went straight to voicemail; each ring further raised the irritation in her. It was Friday, a day marking the beginning of his self-proclaimed three-day weekends, but she had still hoped he might break his pattern of unavailability.It wasn't until a search of the ho

Chapter 65: The Investor's Terms

The next morning, Taylor sat at the head of the conference table in his dimly lit office.His charcoal suit, though freshly pressed, felt like armor weighing heavily on his shoulders—a costume he wore to project confidence he didn't feel. This meeting could be their savior or a time bomb waiting to shatter what was left of them. His fingers drummed an irregular rhythm on the polished mahogany, echoing his racing heartbeat, as he turned his gaze to the clock resting on the wall opposite him. The lawyer was late, and the passing seconds did nothing to ease Taylor's restlessness.He broke his tie slightly, fighting the urge to pace. His cold coffee from that morning still sat unused beside him; its bitterness mingled with the churning of his stomach.The usually proud walls of his office, carefully adorned with artworks and achievements, now seemed to close in on him. Each framed success story was a silent witness to this moment, which possibly meant surrender.A sharp knock at the d

Chapter 66: That Familiar Name

The conference room was eerily quiet, a far cry from the bustling and vibrant discussions that once filled its walls. Now, only a handful of board members remained, their presence a painful reminder of Taylons Enterprises' slow and humiliating decline. Taylor sat at the head of the long table, his hands clasped tightly together. Beside him, Sarah sat rigid, her expression unreadable.He took a deep breath before speaking, his voice steady but laced with an undercurrent of unease. "I met with the investor's lawyer this morning."The few remaining board members canted their body weight a little into the table, their faces apportioned equally in anticipation and dread."The investor is offering nine hundred million dollars," Taylor continued. "But in return they want seventy percent ownership of the company."A moment of stunned silence.Then the room erupted."Preposterous!" Mr. Ethan Caldwell, the gruff board member in his thirties who had only recently joined the board, slammed his

Chapter 67: The Reckoning

Taylor sat frozen in his seat, his mind struggling to catch up with reality. Nicole's sudden appearance had sent his world spinning, and no matter how much he tried to regain composure, he found himself drowning in disbelief. His lips parted as if to speak, but his voice betrayed him. Nothing came out. He swallowed hard, forcing air into his lungs.Across the table, Nicole was ice cool, her face reflecting the calm produced by a woman in control of her emotions. "So, ladies and gentlemen, shall we begin?" she said, smooth and professional, a smile curving her lips but not quite reaching her eyes.Next to her, Ethan Caldwell sat and nodded in a conciliating fashion, a small smirk playing across his lips. In that instant Nicole acted like Taylor and Sarah were not there, a flood of old painful memories seemed to wash in; old painful memories she had struggled her whole life to bury.The cruel whispers of betrayal still echoed within her, and she could feel the phantom ache of shatt

Chapter 68: The Fire Within

The conference room was suffocating with tension, the mahogany walls seeming to close in with each passing second. The weight of unspoken words pressed heavily against the air, making it hard to breathe, while the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the polished table. His body was shaking with anger, his mind reeling, unable even to conceptualize such an act. And now Nicole, his ex-wife, had every reason to hate him, the woman he once loved but betrayed, the one he threw out in the streets like a worthless piece of garbage was here to rip it all from him.His voice was raw, his tone low and sharp and edged with fury collected for years. "Get the fuck out of my company. Now!"That sounded like the thunder of war, banging through the silent room, resounding in echoes against the walls as the bursting of his tattered pride.With an audibly sharp intake of corporate breath, their expensive suits rustled in the shift. Just then, strained silent hush filled the boardroom, cracking

Chapter 69: The Weight of the Past

The room was still thick with tension even after Nicole had walked out. The board members exchanged uneasy glances, some of them still reeling from the heated exchange that had just transpired. They tried to dissuade her, but she would not listen. Nicole had already made up her mind.She had come expecting resistance, but Taylor's reaction sealed the deal. She could not turn back now.As for Taylor, still seated, his face folded into a scowl, his fists clutched the armchair so hard that the knuckles had turned white.Hot anger blazed in his eyes, with his breath coming deep and labored, as if he did not want to take a step backward. "Get the fuck out, Nicole! Get out! We don't want your blood money," he barked, his loud voice shook the boardrooms. Some of the board members raised their eyebrows while others hung their head with disappointment.His pride was sending him spiraling into the pits of a costly mistake that should never be afforded. He cared little.His hate, his anger,

Chapter 70: You Left Her to Die!

The car pulled up to the grand mansion, its towering structure standing as a testament to old memories. As Nicole gazed at the familiar estate, she felt a wave of emotions rush over her. Nothing had changed, from the neatly trimmed hedges down to the grand double doors. The air was just as still, with time itself seeming to have stood waiting for her return.But there was a strange peace that seemed to settle in her heart. Despite all that had happened, this was still home.She stepped out of the car and took a deep breath. She turned to the bodyguards and issued one curt command: "Wait outside."The men only nodded wordlessly, their alert eyes scanning around the perimeter as she made her way to the door. At the marble stairs, the heavy doors slid open, and Leo and Bella came out. At the very sight of her, Leo brightened up. "Nicole!" he exclaimed, dashing forward to fold her in a warm hug.The hug was warm, nearly too tight, and somewhat set her off. She hadn't expected him to
