CHAPTER 151 PART 1
Chris Devoe's office was on the top floor of the Devoe Industries building—a sprawling glass and steel structure that dominated the downtown skyline. The office itself was ostentatiously decorated with expensive art, imported furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city like a throne room surveying its kingdom.But right now, none of that opulence mattered.Chris stood behind his massive mahogany desk, his face contorted with rage, his hands trembling with barely controlled fury. Gerald Roden had just finished explaining the day's events at Whitewater Corporation—Linda's spectacular failure, Pervis's methodical destruction of the accusations, the evidence that had turned the entire office against their planted agent.For a moment, Chris just stood there, breathing heavily, his jaw clenched so tight it looked painful. Then, with a roar of pure rage, he swept his arms across his desk, sending documents, pens, his laptop, his coffee mug—everything—flying across the ro

He walked right up to Gerald, getting in his face. "You're a liability now, Gerald. A weak link. And weak links in my organization get severed before they cause more damage."Gerald went pale. "Mr. Devoe, I've been loyal to you for years—""Loyal?" Chris laughed bitterly. "You call this loyalty? Bringing me failure after failure? Making me look weak and stupid? Exposing me to legal consequences and family disgrace?"He stepped back, his expression cold now instead of simply angry. "The only reason I haven't cut you loose already is because you know too much about my operations. But don't mistake that for job security, Gerald. It just means I need to decide the best way to handle your... disposal."The word "disposal" hung in the air like a threat. Gerald felt sweat beading on his forehead. He'd worked with dangerous people before, had seen what happened to those who became liabilities. He'd never expected to be in that position himself."What makes this worse," Chris continued, moving
CHAPTER 152 PART 1
Chris Devoe stared at his phone screen, his father's name flashing insistently. His hand trembled slightly as he swiped to answer, pressing the device against his ear."Father, I—""Shut your mouth!" Magnus Devoe's voice exploded through the speaker, loud enough that Gerald flinched from across the room. "Do you have any idea what you've done, you incompetent fool?"Chris's jaw tightened. "Father, if you'd just let me explain—""Explain?" Magnus's laugh was harsh and bitter. "Explain how you sent thugs after the Coleman sisters? Explain how you've single-handedly destroyed a business relationship our family has maintained for over two decades? Is that what you want to explain to me?"Gerald shifted uncomfortably, his eyes fixed on the floor. The veins in Chris's neck bulged as he struggled to maintain composure."Those sisters have been interfering with my plans," Chris protested. "Grace has rejected me repeatedly, and that bottom-feeder Pervis—""That bottom-feeder?" Magnus's voice d
CHAPTER 152 PART 2
"By attacking William Coleman's daughters?" Magnus's voice dripped with disgust. "By making enemies of the most powerful family in the region? That's how you protect our interests?"Gerald spoke up tentatively. "Mr. Devoe, perhaps if we explained the situation to Mr. Coleman—""Explained?" Magnus cut him off. "What's there to explain? That my son is an obsessed fool who can't take no for an answer? That he hired thugs to kidnap innocent women? What explanation makes that acceptable, Mr. Roden?"The office fell silent except for Magnus's heavy breathing on the other end of the line."Chris," Magnus said finally, his voice now ice-cold, "you will come home immediately. Not in an hour. Not after you finish whatever pointless scheming you're doing right now. Immediately.""Father, I have meetings—""Cancel them," Magnus commanded. "Or I'll have security drag you out of that office myself. You have exactly thirty minutes to arrive at the villa. If you're even one minute late, I'll have you
CHAPTER 153 PART 1
Chris slammed the phone down on his desk with such force that the entire surface shuddered. The sound echoed through the office like a gunshot, but Chris didn't seem to notice. He simply sat there, frozen, his mouth hanging open as he stared at nothing.Gerald shifted nervously from foot to foot, watching his partner's complete breakdown with growing unease. "Chris?" he ventured carefully. "Are you... is everything okay?"No response. Chris remained motionless, his eyes glazed over, his breathing shallow and rapid."Chris?" Gerald tried again, louder this time. Still nothing. It was as if the man had turned to stone.Gerald hesitated, then reached out and touched Chris's shoulder. "Hey, snap out of—"The moment Gerald's hand made contact, Chris jolted violently. His head whipped around, eyes blazing with fury as he shoved Gerald away with both hands."Get away from me!" Chris snarled.Gerald stumbled backward, barely catching himself against the edge of a filing cabinet. "What the hel

The elevator began its descent, the numbers above the door counting down."You don't understand," Chris said, his voice rising with panic. "This could destroy everything! The partnership, the contracts—my father is threatening to disinherit me!""Then perhaps," Aria said calmly, "you shouldn't have done whatever it is you did to warrant such consequences."Chris's face contorted with frustration. "This isn't my fault! It's that bottom-feeder Pervis! He's the one who—""Careful," Aria warned, her voice dropping several degrees.But Chris was too far gone to notice the danger signs. "No, I'm serious! That parasite has been causing problems since the day he arrived! He's like a disease, infecting everything he touches! If it weren't for him, none of this would be happening!""Mr. Devoe—""He's a nobody!" Chris continued, his voice growing more shrill. "A worthless piece of trash from the countryside who thinks he can—""That's enough," Aria said sharply."—waltz in here and ruin people's
Chapter 154
Chris Devoe stared at his phone screen, his jaw tightening as he saw the caller ID flash across the display. Magnus Devoe. His father. The one man whose disappointment cut deeper than any business loss.For a moment, Chris considered letting it ring. But that would only make things worse. With a sharp inhale, he swiped to answer."Father, I—""Shut your mouth!" Magnus's voice exploded through the speaker, raw with fury. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Any comprehension of the shitstorm you've dragged this family into?"Chris's throat went dry. He'd never heard his father this angry. "If this is about yesterday's incident, I can explain—""Explain?" Magnus let out a bitter laugh. "You think there's an explanation that makes this acceptable? You attacked the Coleman sisters! The Coleman sisters, Chris! Are you completely brain-dead, or do you just have a death wish for this entire family?"Gerald, still standing before Chris's desk, shifted uncomfortably. His eyes darted toward
CHAPTER 155 PART 1
Chris's face twisted with rage as he stared at Aria. His hand curled into a fist, trembling at his side as fury coursed through his veins. The humiliation of being slapped—by a woman, no less—ignited something primal and violent in him."You bitch," he hissed, his arm drawing back. "How dare you—"The elevator dinged behind them."Miss Coleman?" a voice called out.Chris froze mid-motion, his fist still raised. He turned to see Jeffrey Morrison, one of the senior managers from the finance department, stepping out of the adjacent elevator with a tablet tucked under his arm.Jeffrey's eyes widened as he took in the scene—Chris with his hand raised, Aria standing her ground with cold contempt in her eyes."Is everything alright here?" Jeffrey asked slowly, his gaze fixed on Chris's raised fist.Chris's arm dropped immediately, his face cycling through several shades of red as he realized how this looked. "I... this isn't... she—""Mr. Devoe was just leaving," Aria said coolly, her voice
CHAPTER 155 PART 2
As Jeffrey hurried off to carry out her instructions, Aria allowed herself a moment to breathe. Her hand, which had remained steady throughout the confrontation, trembled slightly now that she was alone.She'd almost been struck. If Jeffrey hadn't arrived when he did...But he had. And now Chris Devoe would face consequences from multiple directions.Aria straightened her jacket and headed toward her office, her heels clicking purposefully against the floor. She had work to do.Meanwhile, across the city at Mercy Heights Medical Center, Alicia Brennan sat beside her mother's hospital bed, watching the older woman sleep peacefully. The surgery was scheduled for tomorrow morning, and despite her anxiety about the procedure, Mrs. Brennan looked more relaxed than Alicia had seen her in months.Dawn sat in the corner, scrolling through her phone. "The doctor said Mom's vitals are looking good," she commented quietly. "Better than they've been in years.""It's because she's not stressed abo
CHAPTER 156
The silence that followed Alicia's action was more oppressive than the noise had been. Rick's face had gone from red to purple, the veins in his neck bulging as he took a menacing step toward her."You think you're clever, don't you?" Rick snarled, his voice shaking with barely controlled rage. "Turning off our equipment like you own the place?""I asked nicely first," Alicia replied, keeping her hand firmly on the power switch. Her heart was pounding, but she refused to show fear.Danny laughed, but there was no humor in it. "Oh, she asked nicely! Well, boys, I guess that makes everything okay then!" His voice dripped with sarcasm. "This little parasite thinks she can just waltz in here and shut down our entire operation!""I'm not a parasite," Alicia said coldly. "I'm someone whose mother is recovering in a hospital room fifty feet away and can't rest because of your noise.""Boo-hoo," the older worker with gray hair muttered. "My heart bleeds for you."Rick cracked his knuckles. "Y
