Chapter 21 The Game Begins

Tension pervaded the night air, the kind that persisted long after the storm had passed. Tonight, however, the storm was building inside the magnificent walls of the Kingston Estate, as New York's elite assembled for what was ostensibly a masquerade party. Betrayals danced in the shadows, friendships changed, and secrets hid beneath the glittering masks and flowing champagne.Anita Grant watched the sleek black automobile come up the marble driveway, adjusting the tiny black mask that covered half of her face. Like its occupants, the estate was imposing and towering, resembling an ancient beast. Anita, however, was not the innocent young woman who had formerly shied away from this world. She had learnt to play their game, to survive. She wasn't here tonight to plead for approval, either. She had come to ruin them.Nathan Grant, wearing a well-tailored black tuxedo, stood next to her and radiated sheer authority. Anita was aware that his angular features were unreadable and fri

Chapter 22 Tides of Betrayal

With crystal chandeliers illuminating the sea of affluent visitors in a golden colour, the enormous ballroom glistened with luxury. The air was filled with whispered discussions and laughter, but beneath the elegance, there was a lot of stress. Every look was a covert threat, and every smile concealed a hidden agenda. Anita walked elegantly next to Nathan, her hand lightly grazing the material of his fitted suit. She had long learnt to hide her fragility, but she felt the weight of the eyes, the whispers, the judgement that followed her. She was more than just Nathan Grant's wife tonight. In this perverse game of deceit and power, she was his accomplice.With practiced ease, their target sipped whisky while standing close to the marble bar. Adrian Walker. The man who drew strings from the shadows and flourished in the dark. More sly than Eleanor and more dangerous than Harry, he was the real puppeteer of the Walker family. And Anita was prepared to confront him tonight. Bef

Chapter 23 Game of Deception

Long, menacing shadows were cast across the well-kept gardens by the imposing estate, which loomed in the darkness. Tension permeated the air inside. With her fingers tucked around a glass of wine she hadn't touched, Anita sat in the darkened study. Her thoughts were elsewhere, on the message Harry had just given Nathan, even though the illumination of the city skyline flickered through the enormous windows. Is Nathan Grant Withholding More Information Than Just His Wife's Identity? Will Harry Walker Reveal a Secret Family Scandal?That was a loaded query. What's the response? The danger lay in that. Beneath his fitted shirt, Nathan stood close to the hearth, his broad shoulders strained. Since they got back from the charity gala, he had been silent, his jaw so tightened that she could hear his teeth grinding. An eerie chill had taken the place of the warmth that had been restored by their passion earlier in the evening. Finally, with a kind yet steely edge, Anita murmured,

Chapter 24 Whispers in the Dark

The city lights cast a golden haze over the bedroom, but the warmth was fleeting. Anita sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her phone screen, while Nathan stood by the window, his broad shoulders rigid as he browsed through the most current reports, his jaw tensed and his grasp increasing with each second. The world outside was rife with whispers, each more deadly than the last, and Harry was plotting his next move.Nathan turned to Anita, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Harry claims to have proof of a secret from my past—something damaging enough to bring me down." Anita shivered. "What kind of secret?" Nathan exhaled, raking a hand through his hair. "He hasn't revealed it yet. He's baiting us, making us sweat." His voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. "But he won't win."Anita’s gaze met his, searching for any trace of hesitancy. However, there was none. Nathan Grant was not the type to buckle under pressure. Still, she realised this was more than simply a corporate rivalry—

Chapter 25 the betrayal Beneath the sheets

The bedroom air became oppressive. Nathan's visage hardened like stone, and Anita sensed the change in the atmosphere. They had been deceived by someone. Someone around. She stepped closer to him, her heart racing. "Who is it?" Nathan paused and gripped his phone more tightly. There was nothing he could have said that was as terrible as his silence. "Nathan," she insisted. "Tell me." He tightened his jaw. "At this time, we lack proof." Anita felt sick to her stomach. It wasn't a no. It was a suspicion. "Who do you believe it to be?" She hardly raised her voice above a whisper.She felt the flare of wrath and betrayal when Nathan finally looked her in the eye. "There's someone in this house," he remarked somberly. "Someone who is aware of everything we do." Like a noose tightening around her throat, the weight of his words descended upon her. Inside, someone. Someone they had faith in. Eleanor. Anita's thoughts were racing. Eleanor had never wanted her in the fa

Chapter 26 The kiss of Deception

It was colder than ever in the mansion. Anita stood outside the window of the master bedroom, staring mockingly at the far-off glittering city lights. Her life fell apart under the weight of silence and betrayal, while the world outside flourished. Two days. It has been two days since Nathan's mind was poisoned by Harry's hateful remarks. She has been alone in a house that no longer feels like home for two days after Nathan abandoned her. Her spirit burned with calm wrath, yet her heart hurt. She would defend herself if Nathan didn't defend her. The heavy silence was broken when the door behind her creaked open. As Nathan entered, she turned, gasping for air. His angular features were darkened by doubt and fury, and he appeared worn out.We need to talk,” he said in a low, restrained voice, and Anita straightened her back to hide her vulnerability. “Then talk.” Nathan closed the door and approached her slowly, his eyes unreadable, saying, “I know who the traitor is.” Her hea

Chapter 27. Whisper of Betrayal

Amidst the dense silence, the knock on the door reverberated like a shot. The heat of Nathan's kiss was still lingering on her lips as his body tensed next to her, but the tension crackling in the air now overshadowed it. It made Anita's heart race. That door held another storm and another war, whoever was on the other side. Eleanor stood there, her piercing eyes darting between them, and Nathan yanked the door open.“Well,” she thought, entering without permission. "I hate to break up whatever romantic dispute you two were having, but we are facing a serious crisis." Nathan clenched his jaw. "Now what?" A sleek tablet was thrown upon the bed by Eleanor. A breaking news notice was still visible on the screen. As Anita saw the headline, her breath caught. "GRANT FAMILY SECRETS EXPOSED: ANITA MATTHEWS—A GOLD DIGGER OR SOMETHING WORSE?"She reached for the iPad and began reading the article. The page covered every aspect of her life, including her mother's hardships, Gregor's

Chapter 28 A dangerous Game

DANGEROUS GAME They sat across from one another in Nathan's office, where the long shadows created by the city lights made the atmosphere heavy with anxiety. Anita's thoughts whirled. She was no longer able to afford to be passive. In addition to shaking her to her very core, Harry's unrelenting assault on her reputation threatened to bring Nathan's business to its knees. Her gut lurched at the thought. Losing Nathan wasn't an option since she had come to care for him in ways she wasn't ready to acknowledge.Sitting across from her, Nathan's piercing gaze seemed to be measuring every reaction she made. His voice was low and controlled as he declared, "We're going to hit Harry where it hurts." "But I need to know that you're on my side." Anita's heart was pounding. Was she prepared? The stakes had been rising daily, and everything had been happening so quickly. Everything she had battled for, including the life she had forged from the ashes of her past, her newly discovered

Chapter 29 The tipping point

Tension was evident as Anita stood in the great entrance of Nathan's estate, her fingers jammed firmly around the delicate champagne flute she was holding. Despite her mastery of the game, the stakes felt heavier tonight than ever before. Victory was not as vital tonight as survival. Nathan was hosting a charity dinner that attracted the city's elite, showcasing his wealth and influence. High heels clicking on marble floors, laughter reverberating off gold-trimmed walls, and a soft buzz of whispered secrets everywhere—the atmosphere was entrancing. Although Anita didn't want the attention, she felt the burden of being in the spotlight. No, she didn't come here to impress tonight's guests. She was determined to take the lead.She looked around the room before looking into Nathan's eyes. Even though his typical group of business associates was all around him, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. She felt a surge of need from his piercing gaze, but there was more sinister inten

Chapter 30. The calm before the storm

The tense atmosphere that pervaded the estate was oppressive. It was the knowledge that everything Anita had worked for was on the verge of collapse, not just the weight of the scandal. Following Stacy's cryptic remarks, the room descended into chaos, and the air buzzed with uncertainty as the reporters surrounded them. Despite her beating heart, Anita's intellect stayed concentrated as she stood alongside Nathan. She could see it in his eyes; he was fighting to keep things under control, but there was more going on inside of him than that. Frustration, anger, and... fear. He feared losing her more than he feared losing the empire. That was not going to happen, Anita.For a minute, the outside world vanished when Nathan's fingertips touched hers. Even though it was brief, his touch was reassuring. Together, they were in this. With a steady yet strained voice, Nathan said to her, "I need you to stay calm." Anita's eyes locked with his, and she felt a chill go through her. I
