Jason came down, grabbing her wrist and begging. “Don't let him know we are here, he'll stop talking.” She shook her head. “These secrets are really going to help us in this case.” Her patience flopped. She swung off his grip storming off the staircase to the nearest room, slightly ajar where all of the threats were coming. Booooom! Orion's body jumped in quick reset, the phone slowly slipped off crashing to the floor. “Hello?” “Hello?” “Hello?” The voice from the other end was still calling. Graycie descended on him, digging into his shirt collar. When the voice at the other end kept disturbing, she bent low, spatting on the phone. “Yes, it's me. The woman you both are planning to kidnap and kill.” Complete silence rushed in. The voice on the receiving end of the call was gone. The next thing was the ping ping. The call ended. Orion's face shot up from his phone, brows twisted.“What did you just do?” He asked, cold and sinister. “Can you withstand me if I want to sue yo

Nancy walked up to him, whispering something into his ear. He glared up thinking about this before his eyes settled on Graycie. Her chest braced up, shocked, she walked to Caspian when she wasn't called. “Go back!” Caspian said to her, calm and firm. If he succeeded in sending Graycie back, he'd definitely hurt her, he could even kill her. Now, hatred glowed, nothing less and someone with hatred could do anything. What do we do now? What do we do now? Jason sprang up, coming over to whisper too. “Boss, stop thinking about morality here, you're seeking revenge, you're doing it because they hurt you. Don't care about who gets hurt here.” Caspian twirled around, squeezing his forehead. “How did you know that's what I'm thinking?” Jason grinned. “I know.” Then walked backward, dropping to the couch and from there was on the phone, getting his boss to ponder. It seemed he was too slow, so he helped him. A few minutes later, notifications upon notifications vibrated in everyone's

“Like I keep on insisting, my compensation for unlawful suspension still got nothing to do with her. I didn't promise to marry her.” He said, shooting the next glare at Graycie. “Did I?” Her lips moved, hands too yet no response. “He didn't promise you?” Caspian smirked. “What did you even stay for?”Graycie looked away, shutting her eyes. She had no reason except that he was handsome and wealthy. She was hooked. Now she only felt so stupid. If only he'd take her back, by will or force, she'd not waste a second. Orion was smart enough to speculate this. All of Caspian's quest, his order and manipulation met with a ‘No’ from him. That was the only way he was going to evade whatever ulterior motives they had. Caspian was blessed with no choice. “Draft the court summons. We are going to court.” Caspian said to Nancy. Orion tilted his head with acceptance. “Better, I'll get a lawyer. Justice will be done.” “Is this what you want?” The question struck Caspian. No. It wasn't. “Ge

Orion had barely left the building when his phone began ringing again.He pulled it out of his pocket, expecting another call from his lawyer, but the name on the screen made him stop walking.DAD.His father's earlier voice note still rang in his ears, along with his uncle's mocking words and the countless messages from CMG's investors. He had ignored all of them because he needed time to think. Already when they sent him, he was in the middle of speculating what Caspian was up to. Now, however, he couldn't afford to keep ignoring the man who had spent years preparing him to take over the family business.Maybe it was even something important. In fact, he had in mind to meet him after the Caspian’s threat. He answered the call."Where are you?" His dad demanded."I'm on my way to see you." He snappily replied. "Good. Come straight to my office. And Orion, don't waste my time with excuses. I've had enough of them today."From his voice, he was pissed. Oh God, what might have happ
Chapter 45
It didn't take long for Orion to discover this was a mocking question from his dad. His expression grew tighter. "What exactly do you want from me?" His dad gave him the chance. "I want us to get the best attorney available. Someone who will prevent me from being asked to take Graycie back. If she comes back, I might even lose my life.” His gaze dropped to the floor. “Hmm."Andrew sneaked in, "Titan is a huge corporation. They have enough money to keep a legal battle going for years. I don't intend to let them use their wealth to destroy my career."For the first time, Andrew looked directly at him.Then he stared at him as though Orion had suddenly started speaking a foreign language."Are you serious?"Orion frowned. "Of course, I'm serious.""You came all the way here because Caspian threatened to sue you?" He began to walk towards his son who had gone deep into this. "Yes. And I need the company to help me get a lawyer who can handle the case."He spoke, shaking his head, no
Chapter 46
And when his dad wasn't saying a word, he declared “That's why I needed a lawyer.” Andrew spun around. Orion lifted his head a bit. His reason had finally touched his dad. "I don't care how you settle the matter with Caspian. Hire a lawyer if you must. Defend yourself in court. Do whatever is necessary to protect your name, but don't expect me to throw massive money from the company's treasury over your love case with him…. Graycie or whatever!” Orion stumbled back, puzzled that his dad was still stiff minded. Andrew, on his end, could guess what was going on in his mind. He lunged at him, “Didn't you work? Weren't you paid well?” His fist flung at his son who couldn't answer. “Don't get me angry with you.” His dad's real reason was out. Use your money and sort your personal case. Let the company money be for the company. Orion grumbled. "So you're refusing to help me?"His dad sighed with exhaustion, moving past him. "I'm telling you to get your priorities right.""But Tita
Chapter 47
He had created the office for his private work, away from the eyes of CMG's employees and the questions his father sometimes asked.Today, he was grateful for the privacy.He shut the door, dropped his keys on the desk, and pulled out his chair. Before sitting down, he opened his laptop and checked CMG's latest share prices. What he'd been too busy to check before now. The figures on the screen made his expression harden. The stock had continued to fall, and the trading records showed another wave of purchases.He leaned closer to the screen, checking the figures again as though he might have misunderstood them. He hadn't. The company was losing value, yet someone was spending heavily to acquire its shares.It made no sense to him. An ordinary investor would think twice before putting a large amount of money into a company facing a public family dispute, falling confidence, and growing uncertainty about its leadership. Whoever was buying CMG had to believe there was something wort
Chapter 48
When he finally lowered his phone, the office was quiet except for the low hum of his computer."Then who the hell is buying them?" he wondered.He shrugged. “I'm not resting on this matter. I must find out who's buying all of these shares.” It was a vow. Orion pushed back from the desk and stood up. He walked to the window, looked outside just to ease himself before walking back. He opened his laptop and switched it on. He checked the trading records again, searching for a pattern he might have missed. Maybe one thing would lead to the other. The purchases were spread across different accounts, making it difficult to connect them to a single person. Most of the people who earlier bought the shares had later transferred to this person who sought to keep his identity anonymous. The very suspicious thing. Whoever had arranged them had taken care not to leave an obvious trail.This alone troubled him more than the falling stock price.It meant the buyer wasn't acting carelessly. H
Chapter 49
Caspian had barely finished reading the last message on his phone when Jason knocked on the study door.“Sir, the car is ready.”Caspian locked his phone and slipped it into his pocket. He adjusted the cuff of his shirt, then glanced at the clock on the wall. They had less than twenty minutes to reach Garrett Newman's office, and he had no intention of arriving late.Meeting his crush’s father for the first time, he had to leave a good impression. “Is Cordelia downstairs?”“Yes, sir. She has been waiting for you.”Caspian picked up the folder on his desk and stood. His arm hurt a little from too much typing, checking out CMG updates and Titan. So it gave him a little trouble, but he had grown used to working around the pain. Besides, the discomfort was nothing compared to the questions running through his mind.Garrett was not just Cordelia's father. He was the Chief Prosecutor of the State, a man with enough authority to influence the case against Graycie and Orion. He was also on
Chapter 50
Garrett's eyes narrowed a little. “Close friends?” He asked, leaning towards them. Neither of them spoke right away. Cordelia parted her lips and closed it, then looked at Caspian. He was watching her with a calm expression that did not match the uncertainty she felt inside. She could almost hear him weighing every possible answer, guessing how much of their private life he should reveal.“Hmm,” she sighed her face down as she wasn't willing to say more than he wanted. “Dad, we're adults,” she said at last. “We don't have to put a label on everything immediately.” She lastly said. The most appropriate response she could think of. “That wasn't what I asked.” Garrett insisted. “I know.”“Then answer me.”Caspian shifted in his seat. “Mr. Newman, Cordelia and I have been spending time together. We care about each other, and we're seeing where things go.”It was a formal answer. With a formal face and a formal tone. Garrett studied him, searching his face for something he could not
