"What is the plan?"A voice asked from right behind Ethan.Ethan looked back and saw Fiona."I can't have Jason tearing down the family. Everyone wants his head on a spike," she said with venom as she looked toward the podium where I stood addressing the students.Ethan grinned."I am in now. It is only a matter of time before we bring Jason to his knees.""In?" Fiona looked at Ethan's face. "In on what?""The inner circle," he replied, looking at her face. "The circus.""Is that supposed to mean something to me?" Fiona raised an eyebrow."It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we are bringing Jason to his knees," Ethan replied.I continued addressing the students from the podium, completely unaware of the conversation taking place behind me."Well, you are not telling me anything. How do you plan on doing that?" Fiona folded her hands. "I need to head my grandfather's company. Jason is standing in the way of that, and not to mention my greedy uncle, who wants a bit too.""You me

Irene walked towards the stage and grabbed Alessia off the podium."What are you doing?" she asked angrily."I don't understand," Alessia said, anger visibly showing on her face."Jason is my man, and you know it. So tell me what the fuck was that?" Irene looked at her."I love him, and I don't mind screaming it out loud that I am in love with Jason Walker," Alessia replied boldly."Oh, you do now, right? Where were you when he had nothing? I am pretty sure you were one of the many people who criticized Jason back then," Irene said angrily."Well, I am not the one with the bad luck!" Alessia shot back at her sister.Irene's hand moved before her lips could. The deafening slap echoed through the hall, shifting everyone's attention away from me for a moment."Where did that sound come from?""Did you hear that?""I could have sworn I heard a deafening slap just now."The students all stared at Alessia and Irene. Alessia was holding her face while Irene was fuming with rage."Did you jus

"What was that about?" Marcus looked at me as we walked into his mansion."What?" I asked, turning to meet his anxious gaze."Don't tell me you don't understand what I mean. Irene and Alessia. What is the drift between the three of you?" Marcus replied."Nothing," I said slowly, feeling a little tired.I closed my eyes, and by the time I opened them, Marcus was still staring at me."Nothing. I don't love or feel emotionally attached to either of them," I replied, but Marcus's gaze made me squirm in the chair I sat on."Well, I might have been into Irene when I was at my weakest," I said barely above my voice."She was right after all," Marcus looked at me."Right? About what?""The girl was there for you when you were at your weakest.""There for me, not helping me with my financial crises. She was just a shoulder to rest on," I said, clearing the air."Yeah, I feel you. But don't you think she is reading more meaning into it? Did you ever profess or tell her how you feel about her?"

Sniper was about to talk when a call came into my phone.I looked at the caller and saw that it was Nicholas again.I frowned. I had not been going to work for some time now."I have got important things to attend to," I said angrily.Marcus looked at me."Are you alright? Why don't you pick that up?"Mr. Nicholas had been trying to grab my attention for some time now. Ever since I came back from the dead, I hadn't been to the organization even once."Don't you think you need to answer the man?" Marcus asked.I frowned."This is my company. I believe Mr. Nicholas is capable of looking after it. Besides, I trust him."Marcus looked at Sniper and then back at Zeek."He is right, Jason. You need to pay more attention to your family's business," Zeek chipped in.I smiled and turned my attention back to Sniper."You were saying?""I heard Henry and Dylan talking about another man who went rogue. I think he also knows about the death of your parents," Sniper said, looking at Marcus."Anothe

Eric walked in with pride, staring at everyone in their seats."I still wonder why you all decided to stick to this delinquent," he said slowly, looking at me."You all have known me for how long now? Years, months... I practically know how Thomas Carter built up this empire after his death."He tapped the chair in front of him."I find it hard and disturbing to see that you are quick to give Jason the seat that belongs to me."I looked at him and laughed."And who knew you also had hidden claws?" I jested. "To think I believed you could be the man I looked up to was disheartening when I found out that you were a son of Thomas Carter."I walked away from the door toward the seat in front of them all."I wonder how many there are of us out there."A slight laughter filled the room, making Eric's face harden even more."Enough of this bickering!" Henry snapped, and there was silence once more. "Have you seen the news? You made a fool of the family by going after two women of the same bl

"You won't dare!" Henry shouted. "Do you think those people have the right to have me pushed out of my own organization?" he roared again."To me, those people's opinions mean a lot more to me than yours ever would," I replied.Richard Desmond let out a smile, seeing that I was trying to outsmart Henry even at his very own game.Eric and Camilla looked at each other and saw that I was no longer the timid boy I used to be.I looked more fearsome and more determined than ever."Why don't we go ahead with what Mr. Jason has just said? It is a tie between you both," Richard said, looking at Henry's face.The tension was visible in the boardroom as the people who wanted me out and those who wanted Henry out started to quarrel among themselves.I could see that the room was already in chaos.I let out a smile and looked back at Henry with a calculating gaze.I had wanted him to work with the security personnel, but maybe with the right push, I could have him sent out of the organization com

"Where are we going?" Marcus asked repeatedly as I increased my speed each time I remembered the death of my grandfather.I also had the note Thomas had written and given to me before his death."You need to slow down, buddy, or you are going to get us killed," Marcus warned, holding onto the dashboard.Still, I remained quiet as I drove across the dusty road."Is this about Henry?" Marcus broke the silence again after a long time."You won, so I don't see any reason why you need to be worked up over this.""I need to know who killed him. I need to know what my grandfather was trying to tell me before his death," I finally spoke up."Then you should take it easy, man. You can't do a thing if you're dead," Marcus warned.I pulled over in front of a gigantic hospital."We're here."I removed my seat belt with a sigh.I could still remember the last and dying look on Thomas Carter's face. I had been deprived of seeing him before his death, but all I had was the cracked safe and the last

I landed on the floor and couldn't believe what I was seeing.“This is impossible!” I shouted in anger as I grabbed the paper from the floor.I walked back into the mansion and stared at my enemies in the eyes.“Did you do this?” I looked directly at Fiona.“I know you don't like him, but must you go this far?” I asked angrily as I squeezed the paper in my hands.Fiona looked at me with a confused expression.“What are you talking about?” she asked.I stared at her carefully. From the look on her face, she might not have had a clue about what my grandfather had left me.“So you were going to tell us who killed Sir Thomas?” Camilla's gaze met mine.I had a troubled look on my face, and for a moment, I stood there silently, looking at their faces.The truth was that I was having more enemies by the day, and it was becoming difficult to know who I could rely on or trust. I looked at the paper again before turning my gaze back to Fiona.“I don't know what you did to him, but I am going to

I got down from the car and was surprised to see Alessia standing in front of me, holding the back of her neck.“Have you been stalking me?” I asked, staring at her.I was already having a terrible migraine because of the impact. My head was still throbbing from hitting the steering wheel.“I wouldn't exactly call that stalking. I was just trying to make sure you are safe. Nothing more,” Alessia replied.I stared at her, not sure what to say.My grandfather's will had made it clear that I had to get married to either one of the sisters. But looking at Alessia, I could see right through her.To me, she was another Linda, someone who might be after material things. But I needed to put her loyalty to the test before making any conclusions.“Are you alright?” I asked, putting on a concerned expression as I moved closer to her.That was when I noticed the scratch on her arm. She was bleeding.I immediately took out my phone and called a mechanic to come and tow both my car and Alessia's ca

Marcus dropped into the sofa chair in front of him. He looked worn out and tired from all the paparazzi drama that had been going on with Jason and him trying to be good friends.If left to Marcus, he would have loved to overlook everything that had been done to him and simply live a happy life.His phone chimed.Marcus picked it up and saw an envelope.“Work done, boss.”Marcus nodded and dropped the phone back onto the table in front of him.He got up and strolled toward the wine shelf. He grabbed a bottle of whisky and sat down to drink.His mind went back to Jason and how he had reacted when they left the Carter mansion.“Was he hiding something?” he said slowly as the hot flavor of the whisky burned his tongue.Marcus shrugged and sighed.After the death of his father, Marcus had done nothing but distance himself from the company. But since they were now done with their education, it was time for him to resume his work as the CEO of the company his father had left behind for him.
