It was a warm Monday morning in the city of Westbrook.Cavendish Inc., a leading company in the logistics indusry, was already buzzing with work.Inside the office, a handsome young man sat quietly at his desk staring into the distance with a perplexed look on his face.'What the hell is going on?’ Maximilian Cage thought, his brows furrowed. ‘Where am I?’The last thing he remembered was dying in his home.A fire, then smoke, choking and endless pain.The fire was no accident- it was set by the woman he loved, Mirabel Cavendish.She and her secret lover has planned it all.Max instinctively gripped his chest as his heart pounded and sweat soaked his shirt.The memory of the flames, the choking smoke and Mirabel's cold eyes made him tremble, not with fear, but rage and hatred."Yo, Max, you good?" A colleague asked. Max forced a smile. "Yeah, just a bit dizzy."But insidez his mind was racing.He had to figure out what was going on and fast, after all, if he was truly dead, then the

Max made his way to the conference hall and pushed the glass doors open. Inside, save for Mirabel and Bernard, there were also other executives of Cavendish Inc. present as well as executives from Darrow Corp, all of whom regarded Max with cold eyes.Any other person would naturally be intimidated by this, but Max had experienced this once and had no intentions of experiencing it again. This time, they would be the ones to be intimidated.“What’s going on here?” Max asked, feigning ignorance.“Max, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable. We entrusted you with taking care of the Goldman inc. project, yet a month into the project and you have embezzled more than ten million dollars. How greedy can you get?” Mirabel was the first to speak, her words filled with reproach.Max raised a brow. “Sorry what?” Bernard snorted derisively. “Drop the act and stop trying to act like you don't know what we are talking about !... Tell the truth so we can get this over with!”“But I don't know wha

Just as Tasha was about to break down from the pressure placed on her, Max spoke up. “I have the proof you need.” Almost immediately, all eyes were on him. “What are you talking about?” Harold coldly asked. Flashing a smirk, Max took out his cell phone and played a recording. In the recording, Harold was threatening Tasha to do as he wanted, using her sick mother as a bargaining chip. If she didn't make the transfers, then he would speak with some powerful friends in the hospital her mother was in to ensure she was kicked out. The hospital was the only one that catered to her mother despite Tasha having not paid her bills fully yet so if her mother got kicked out, then no other hospital would take her which could lead to her death. Tasha couldn't let that to happen, so she had no choice but to do as Harold asked. Initially, she didn't know why he asked her to do such a thing. But now, it was clear that she had been used to frame Max for fraud and embezzlement. In her

Everyone was shocked after hearing what Max had said. “Divorce papers?” Mirabel breathed out evenly to which Max nodded. “Indeed. All you have to do is sign.” Instead of sadness or panic, a brilliant smile blossomed on Mirabel's lips as she exclaimed in joy. “Finally!... I'll be rid of you!” Her family members were also quite ecstatic with some even commending Max for knowing his place. Bernard sneered. “So finally you decided to make the right decision.” “I was blinded by love, but not anymore.” Max calmly replied. “Anyways, I'll be leaving now. Do take care.” Max said as he turned to leave. “Wait!” Mirabel called out to him. Just as he turned to regard her, the divorce papers he'd handed to her were thrown into his face, smacking him. “I've signed them, so get out and never show your face in front of me again.” Managing a smile, Max replied. “Of course.” He then bent down and picked up the papers after which he made to leave. At the same time, there was a commotion at

Max was having breakfast with Brittany and Sarah when Alfred arrived with the documents Nolan had mentioned. “Thank you, Alfred.” “You're welcome, young master,” Alfred said before adding. “Also, Master Nolan asked me to inform you about a press conference that would be happening this evening. He said it would be best if you attended as it could serve as a way to announce your return.” “Alright then.” Just then, Brittany remarked. “Are you returning to the company?” “Yes, but…” “Finally!” Brittany exclaimed in delight, catching Max off guard while Sarah chuckled in amusement. “Uhmm, am I missing something?” Max asked in confusion to which Sarah replied. “Brittany had to put aside her college work to take care of the family business. If not for your absence and your father's current reclusive nature, she would have never taken up the position she currently has.” “But now that you are back, “ Brittany said in excitement. “I can finally get back to focusing on college.” “Of co
