CHAPTER ELEVENThaddeus watched his entire world crumble right before him, and the whispers from his employees didn’t seem to make things very difficult for him.He moved his eyes from one person to the other, and when he saw that they were beginning to abandon him, his mind began to struggle to contain the reality that was beginning to set in.“Where are you guys going?” He asked, but there was no response from any of those who were leaving.They didn’t even bother to look back, and that was not because he was speaking with a breaking voice, but because they had gotten finally realize that the man they had once feared and respected had been reduced to nothing by a total stranger.“Who the hell is this fellow?” He muttered, his eyes demanding for a response from no one in particular, especially not the ones who were finally leaving him for better options.Thaddeus was still panting, his heart sinking deeper into his belly.Not just confusion and anger had gripped him at that moment,

CHAPTER TWELVE“I am a hundred percent certain, Boss.” Bibian with a convinced tone, nodding her head for the umpteenth time.“I am sure that this information is very certain, Boss. There is no way this can be a lie…” She took a deep breath, and was about to continue when she noticed the look on Thaddeus ’s face.She stared at him, observing as his face twisted into a scowl, anger slowly simmering through his veins.“That bastard!” Thaddeus growled, his eyes burning with resentment.“But…” He suddenly lowered his expression, his mind filled with several thoughts that he was forced to go through.At that moment, even silence didn’t look like it was going to help in any way, but his determination to get to the bottom of the situation was becoming very intense. Bibian on the other hand had tried to ignore the thoughts that crawled into her mind, but the more she tried to act as though she didn’t want to know more, the more difficult it was for her, seeming as though her head was goi

CHAPTER THIRTEEN“Let me go!” Vanessa grunted, staggering as she tried to keep up with Thaddeus ’s speed.“You are hurting me, Thaddeus !” She tried to break free from his grip, but it was very obvious that it was going to be very hard for her to get him to let go of her hand.She looked him in the eyes, and then it dawned on her.“I have never you this angry before, Thaddeus . What’s going on…” Vanessa looked around slowly, and then she took a deep breath, her eyes scanning for anything unusual, but there was none.She cleared her throat, returning her gaze to Thaddeus only to realize that he was still fuming, anger rising through his veins.“Talk to me, Thaddeus …” She made an attempt to go close to him, but just with his eyes, he was able to force her to remain where she was standing.Vanessa took a deep breath, forced to only stare at him while she waited for him to say why he seemed to be so upset.“Why didn’t you tell me?” Thaddeus finally broke his silence, his tone low but

CHAPTER FOURTEEN “What the hell is going on?” He asked himself, but t didn’t even look like he was going to be able to find a suitable explanation. Vanessa was walking right behind him, and when she finally drew closer, she cleared her throat, moving her eyes from one corner to the other. “That was strange…” She muttered, but since that seemed to be the first time she was going to be in that building, she was forced to switch her focus from the shocking observation at the entrance of the building to its beauty. “This place is marvelous…” She thought to herself, her eyes scouring the entire place as she was forced to slow down. Then Celeste appeared, and barely five seconds after Thaddeus stopped, she did the same after she noticed her presence. “Why are you bac

CHAPTER FIFTEEN“I will do whatever it will take to see him! Please take me to see him!” He pleaded, his voice slowly losing its grip. Once again, he turned to Vanessa, and knowing what the look on his face meant, she was forced to break her silence again, pretending not to be tired of speaking already. “Please, Ma’am. Just help us…” She pleaded with a very low tone, turning to look at Celeste who didn’t even bother to look at her, concerned with what was going on inside her mind. Celeste cleared her throat after a few seconds, and then she took a deep breath. “I see you are very desperate about seeing him…”“Yes! Yes, please!” Thaddeus nodded, and then he took a deep breath. “I am very desperate about seeing him, and I will be very glad if you can help me!” He cleared his throat, but when he tried to continue, he realized that he didn’t know what exactly to say. So he kept on staring desperately, hoping that he was going to get what he wanted. Celeste nodded after a few secon

CHAPTER SIXTEEN“Allow me to concentrate…” Thaddeus grunted, taking two steps backward while he looked from one man to the other.The next second, Celeste appeared, marching stylishly toward them with a wry smile on her face.Thaddeus cleared his throat when she got closer, taking a deep breath.“I thought you said you were going to let us see your boss!” His tone was high, laced with anger and disappointment.Celeste scoffed, looking him directly in the face with her sinister smile intact.“I can’t believe you fell for that…” She sniggered, sneering at both Thaddeus and Vanessa.“Funny of you to believe that I am going to let you see my boss because you demanded it…” She tutted, looking Thaddeus in the eyes while she stood behind the fierce-looking guards whose only agenda was to obey her every instructions.“Grab them…” Celeste said calmly, and just like machines, the men swept into action without blinking, grabbing both Thaddeus and Vanessa and making an additional act of push

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN“What’s going on here?” Desmond asked as he continued marching toward them, ignoring the wide eyes of his ex-wife and her lover.“Celeste?” He stopped when he was close enough, staring at the lady for an explanation.Celeste cleared her throat, and letting go of Vanessa, she took two steps backward, and then she faced Desmond and bowed.“Welcome, Mr. Kane…” She paused for a few seconds while Desmond was still eager to hear what she had to say.“These two…” She broke her silence after a while, pointing to Thaddeus , and then to Vanessa.“They came into this place to constitute a nuisance.” She growled at Thaddeus , showing that she was more furious at him.“I tried to tell them to leave, but this fellow right here threatened to deal with me. He even swore that he was going to have his way with me and call his dangerous friends to beat me up…”Thaddeus wanted to speak desperately, but he was still stunned from what he saw.“So it’s true…” He thought to himself, his he

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN “You called me thrash, you told me that I was never going to amount to anything. You were so happy that you had taken what was mine, and now that I have taken what belongs to you…” He paused for a few seconds, victory and disdain written all over his face.“How does it feel to be finally served the meal your dished out?” He waited, but Thaddeus was too ashamed to say even a word.He could no longer look him in the eyes, bending his face to the ground while he struggled with both shame and regret.“We are even now, Thaddeus …” Desmond continued with a voice barely above a whisper, but it was still enough to carry the weight of his anger and ridicule, reflecting the fulfillment lingering inside him.“I lost my wife and dignity to you, Thaddeus . You lost your company and your ego to me…”Thaddeus swallowed hard, and slowly, he lifted his face to look at Desmond, more tears welling in his eyes.“Those are not the same thing, Desmond. You cannot compare your wife to my

CHAPTER NINETEENFor a while, Desmond said nothing.He just kept on staring at him while his eyes were still boiling with so much rage.He moved them from Thaddeus after a few seconds, shifting his gaze to Vanessa.He had the same disdain for her, but she couldn’t look him in the face to see it.At that moment, Thaddeus ’s heart was pounding aggressively against his ribcage, and while struggling with the reality of the fate that had befallen him, he tried to find his next words, but just a look at Desmond, and he was discouraged.He faced the ground, took a deep breath and lowered himself.He was forlorn, and watching the last hope he had crash before him, he sighed in despair, his entire body shaking in defeat.“Maybe there could be a way of resolving this…” Desmond broke his silence, causing him to look up, eyes wide with curiosity.“Yes…” Desmond cleared his throat, and then he inched closer, taking two steps forward.His eyes were still looking down at Thaddeus , his wry smile in

CHAPTER TWENTY Thaddeus waited anxiously, staring Desmond in the eyes, but he couldn’t get any response from him.All he could get was silence, Desmond staring at him while he held onto his wry smile.“Say something!” He urged, losing his patience.Desmond cleared his throat, and with his wry smile intact, he looked around, moving his eyes from his guards to Celeste.“I can’t believe you fell for that, Thaddeus …” He huffed, causing Thaddeus to gasp, lifting his brows above his wide eyes before he returned his gaze to him.“What do you mean? We had a deal!”“No, we didn’t…” Desmond gave him a very quick response, staring at him without getting rid of the wry smile plastered all over his face.“I told you that I could reconsider you, Thaddeus …” He continued, his eyes refusing to blink even once.“I have decided that I am not going to change my mind, Thaddeus . You are going to have to deal with the fate of losing your company to me, just as I have decided to deal with the fate of
