Chapter 1 John “Mr Johnson Boston, you are under arrest for the murder of Mrs Claire Rudolph and her two daughters June and Sandy. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law, Now let’s go.” I turned around, wondering if there was another Johnson Boston where I worked but there was only one and that was me. “I think you have the wrong person, I didn't murder anyone,” I said confidently because I was freaking innocent. I am 5 foot 7 inches, leaching off his wife’s family—at least that is what people say because I am an Orphan married to a conglomerate. Even though I spent the last five years of our marriage and my life building the company, I am still nothing but the lowly, poor Orphan who would never deserve Nancy, my wife. In short, to say, I have no intention of committing murder. “Is your name Johnson Boston?” The officer grunted, frowning, glaring at me like I was actually the murderer. “Yes, that is my

Chapter 3 JohnAnd that’s how I ended up in prison for a crime I didn't commit, serving a ridiculous sentence when the culprit is out there living their lives. Anger was an understatement as to what I felt sitting inside the cell with three other men who did nothing but glare at me all through to the point that I was so scared to sleep, worried that they might kill me in my sleep. Do I want justice for Claire and her kids? Yes? Do I want justice for myself? Hell yes but can I get it? No! The whole world has turned its back on me and I am all alone. “Hey, murderer!” One of the cellmates called out to me while I carried the plate of my meal for the day which was a smaller portion than the portion everyone else was served. I didn't answer because I wasn't a murderer. “Wow, look at this bloodthirsty bastard! Ignoring us after killing a family in cold blood. Do you think you are better than us, hey, murderer!” He yelled. I heard his footsteps slowly getting closer and soon I could f

Chapter 5JohnAccepting to become Dominic Volkov, the first thing I did was return to the hospital. There the doctors were losing their minds trying to find me.“Oh, Mr. Dominic, it is a miracle that you are alive.” The professor Doc said to me, looking in awe and disbelief as I sat in his office, hail and healthy.“Thank you. I need to be discharged today,” I blurted, not returning the doctor's smile.He nodded, “Of course, we have done all the necessary tests and you are completely hail and healthy, you are free to leave, as long as you pay up your bills, your wife has stopped paying your hospital expenses and also stopped visiting and she is also not taking the calls from the hospital, they only reason we kept you was that, well, you used to be a volunteer at the hospital but you have a lot of bills to settle.” He mumbled, the sadness in his voice showed how hard it was for him to tell me all these things.On the way back to the hospital, Ace filled me with everything I needed to

Chapter 7 DOM’S POV I received an email this morning. “Mr. Dominic Volkov, this is an Artisan Group. We hope this email finds you well. We are sending this email because we believe your company has potential and we would love to set up a meeting together to discuss a possible future of becoming partners.” “Ha! Ha! Ha!” I burst into laughter as I read the messages. [is there something funny about the message your enemy sent?] Ace asked, his voice echoing in my head. I slammed his hands over my mouth as I sat in the new apartment I just bought two days ago after I managed to stop the company from going to someone else and also receiving the mass resignation letter from my staff. It was a pleasant day and a bad one too. Because how on earth am I supposed to get 200 staff in 4 days? My goal is to take this company to the top and to do that, I need the best staff. I can’t just recruit anyone and besides, everyone knows that my company is going through financial instability, no one

Chapter 9 DOMINIC’S POV What the fuck did I do? Why? Why did I have to run my mouth and ask for Lucy? Ugh… fuck me! [You chose Lucy] “I know.” [You wanted to marry Nancy.] “I know!” [So you love Lucy?] “What the fuck, Ace? No, I don't love Lucy, Lucy is…was a friend, and don’t forget, she is a member of that Artisan’s family, the only thing I want from that family is to have them grovel on their knees and beg me while I punish them for what they did.” I spat. [Does that include Lucy?] [Do you also want to punish her for her family’s crimes] “If I have to.” [Then it’s settled, it doesn't matter who you marry, Nancy or Lucy, you will still be connected to Aritsan’s group, Your revenge is still on track.] Taking my seat, I sigh, looking into space. Luca agreed to give me his daughter, Lucy even though Nancy was pissed by it. He asked why I wanted Lucy, and all I could say was, who wouldn't want Lucy? Because, who wouldn't want Lucy, have you seen Lucy? But what I think abo
