Chapter 91
The moment Ryan stepped through the glass doors, with Claudia right behind him, the three armed police officers flanked him on both sides, guiding him toward the elevators. “What are you doing? I'm not a criminal, I need some breathing space,” he muttered. But the officers didn't respond, pretending they didn't hear him.Every security guard, every receptionist and every passing staff member stared wide-eyed at the sight, their CEO walking in with police escort.They reached the elevator lobby, and the officer in front tapped the button. Ryan stood tall, and his expression was calm.Claudia remained close to his side, her eyes moving between the officers and him.When the elevator arrived and they stepped inside, one of the officers finally turned toward Claudia. “Ma’am,” he said in a strict, no-nonsense tone, “you can’t come with us. This is official police business.”Claudia blinked, shocked by his tone towards her. “What? Why not?”“It’s a confidential matter,” the officer said s

Ryan sat back in his chair, he was already weighed down by everything.His head was bowed slightly, and he used one hand to rub his forehead slowly.Across from him, the three police officers still stood waiting for him to admit to the crime he knew nothing about.The leader of the group,walked closer to Ryan and spoke. “Mr. Walker,” he said calmly, “we’ve explained everything. The facts, the evidence, the testimonies we’ve gathered and unfortunately, they all point toward you. This isn’t just an assumption. These are direct digital trails linking your identity to the fraudulent transactions. We can’t ignore them.”Ryan’s hand paused on his forehead. Slowly, he lifted his face, his eyes meeting the officer’s eyes. “And I’ve also told you, those trails are fake. They were manufactured. Someone went to great lengths to make them convincing. You’re looking at a man who’s being framed.”Claudia, who was sitting, straightened in her seat. She had been holding back for as long as she co

The tall glass doors slid open, and Ryan stepped out, flanked on both side by the two uniformed officers. His hands weren’t cuffed, but the firm grips on both his arms made it clear there would be no freedom of movement.His staff had already begun to gather on the pavement. Some whispered to one another in low, anxious voices.“Where are they taking the CEO?”“Is he being arrested?” Others simply stared in shock, wondering what was happening. They clearly had no idea why the police would be taking a man like Ryan Walker.“Mr. Walker?” one of the female receptionists called out, her voice trembling. “What’s going on? Why are they—?”“Stay calm,” Ryan interrupted gently, lifting his chin. His voice was steady and composed. “Everything is fine. Go back to your work.”“Fine?!” another staff member said from somewhere in the crowd. “Sir, they’re—”“Go inside,” Ryan said again, this time firmer. His eyes swept the crowd, locking briefly with a few familiar faces. “Do not panic. Do not sp

“Those men aren’t police… they’re Falcon Creed,” Bobby's words tortured her as it kept replaying in her mind.Her knees weakened beneath her, but she snapped back to herself with a gasp. She couldn’t stand there wasting another second. She ran back inside the glass doors of the headquarters, the secretary calling after her in confusion, but Claudia ignored her completely. She burst into Ryan’s office and her eyes moved wildly until they landed on the keys of the Maybach that Ryan had left on his desk.With shaky hands she snatched the keys.“I can’t let them take him. I can’t, I won’t let Lord Ryder fool us like this…”She ran back outside, not caring about the stares from the staffs who had witnessed the supposed arrest. “Ma’am, why was Mr. Walker arrested?” The secretary asked and she didn't respond.Her hands trembled as she pressed the unlock button. She slipped behind the wheel, started the engine, and sped out of the compound.Her chest rising and falling in fast breaths.But

Without a warning, Ryan’s fist shot out like lightning.He smashed it into the jaw of the officer seated on his right. The man’s head snapped violently to the side with a grunt of shock, his teeth clattering as blood spurted from his split lip. As he tried to recover, his hand already going for the baton strapped at his belt, but Ryan was faster. He grabbed the man’s collar, yanked him forward, and slammed his forehead hard against the man’s nose.The crunch echoed inside the vehicle. Blood poured instantly, the man slumping back in his seat, groaning in agony.The officer on Ryan’s left cursed loudly. “You bastard!” he barked, reaching for his weapon. But Ryan turned sharply and lunged before the man could draw out his gun.Ryan’s shoulder rammed into his chest, pinning him against the car door. Then, with a brutal movement, Ryan grabbed his head and smashed it against the side window.The tempered glass rattled violently but didn’t shatter, though the impact stunned the man. He sl

The yellow cab slowed to a halt at the front of Nova headquarters. Ryan exhaled deeply as he reached into his pocket, pulling out a few bills and handing them to the driver. The man turned to him with kind eyes...“Sir,” he said softly, almost reverently, “the whole city’s talking about you. About what you did today. You single handedly brought down three members of the Falcon Creed.”Ryan paused, staring at him for a moment. There was no pride in his eyes, only weariness. But he nodded once and stepped out.The second he shut the door, his staff began to gather. Word had spread quickly, Ryan Walker had returned, and he was safe.Applause broke out. Genuine applause. It echoed throughout the company building. Men and women from every department, from interns to senior managers, stood clapping, smiling with relief.“Mr. Walker!” someone cried. “You’re safe!”“You’re back!” another called out.Ryan’s lips curved faintly into a smile, though it didn’t reach his eyes. He raised a hand sl

Elizabeth sat on the very edge of her king-sized bed, her was back hunched, her elbows pressed into her knees as her fingers were clenched tightly.Her lips moved faintly, murmuring words that only she could hear.Her eyes were clouded, staring into the distance, though she wasn’t truly seeing the white curtains, her eyes were on it.“It has been weeks,” she whispered to herself, her voice trembling. “Weeks since the biggest shock of my life… Weeks since Ryan Walker humiliated me in front of everyone… Weeks since he rose above me and claimed everything I thought should have been mine.”She closed her eyes, and the images haunted her all over again.Ryan Walker, sitting at the head of the boardroom table, the very place she had once imagined herself ruling. Ryan Walker, the man she had discarded like he was nothing, taking over her father’s company, carrying the title that should have been hers, and worse, standing tall as the CEO of Nova Inc., the company that had rejected her propos

Ryan sat comfortably at the round corner table of the prestigious Vilaris Bites, a restaurant known in the city not only for its luxurious décor but also for its reputation as the food spot of the extremely wealthy. Across from him, Claudia sat elegantly, her back was straight, her glossy hair resting over her shoulders as she delicately cut into her meal. She glanced up every now and then, smiling faintly at Ryan, who seemed calmer than he had been in weeks.“This place is beautiful,” Claudia said softly, twirling her fork gently. “I’m glad you chose here. It feels… normal, after everything that has happened.”Ryan gave her a small smile, sipping his wine slowly. “Normal is something I want you to have more of. Even if just for an evening.”Claudia’s heart warmed at his words. She opened her mouth to reply, but before she could, Ryan’s gaze shifted from her toward the large double doors at the entrance of the restaurant.He froze for a second.Claudia followed his eyes and saw the
Chapter 99
The restaurant had fallen into an almost unbearable silence after the loud shriek of the wealthy woman whose glittering gown was now smeared with sauces, lobsters, and caviar worth tens of thousands of dollars.All eyes were locked on Elizabeth and Julian, who stood frozen by their table like culprits caught in the middle of a heist.The lady who looked extremely elegant, slowly rose to her feet. Her lips parted, and her voice rang across the restaurant filled with pure rage.“Do the two of you,” she said slowly, her manicured finger pointing at Julian and Elizabeth, “have any idea how much this food cost? Do you have the faintest clue of what you’ve just done?”Elizabeth’s lips trembled, but nothing came out. Her throat was completely dry. She could feel her entire body heating up as though she were standing under a scorching sun.Julian tried to steady his voice, but his nerves betrayed him. “M-ma’am… it was an accident. Surely, it can be resolved. Accidents happen.”The woman’s sha

Every pair of eyes lingered on Elizabeth and Julian as though they were performers on a stage, trapped under a spotlight they could not escape.The elegant woman stood firm, her stained million-dollar gown dripping with sauces and ruined delicacies. She crossed her arms, her chin lifted like that of a queen passing judgment on peasants.“You will pay for the food you wasted,” she said slowly, each word came out like she was counting her words, making sure that every word sank into them. “You will provide Fifty thousand dollars to the waitress now, and provide 1 million dollars to my designer to get a new dress of the same worth for me, also now.”Elizabeth’s body tensed. She felt her pride suffocating her, her humiliation blended with anger until it became too much for her to contain. For minutes she had begged and pleaded, her voice cracking, her dignity crumbling, but now, something inside her remembered she was Elizabeth McCarthy and could be as cold and rude as the woman.She drew
