Chapter 44 - Meeting the CEO 3
Pam’s heart sank. Just when she thought everything was finally settling, Oscar appeared out of nowhere, and with his presence, she knew everything would be dragged back to the beginning. Worse, she knew they would all believe him now.“Oscar. What are you doing here?” Mrs. Adkin barked, lunging toward him. But John stepped in faster than she could react. No one was going to slap Oscar again, not while he was here.“You might want to stay back,” she warned.Her words only made Oscar’s bodyguards close in around him in a protective wall. The Adkins’ personal guards reacted instantly as well, forming their own defensive circle around their mistress.“Coward,” she hissed.Before anyone could make another move, the station doors opened again. Kevin Wayne walked in, flanked by two officers, dragging Carl inside in handcuffs. Pam gasped. The others stared in disbelief. Mr. Adkin had assured them Carl was “taken care of,” possibly even dead. So why was he here?And then, from behind, Adkin hi
Chapter 43 - Pam's paranoia
Oliver dropped Pam off at the station. The evening light washed the parking lot in a dull orange haze, the kind that made everything feel heavier than it already was. He stayed in the car for a moment, hands resting on the steering wheel, watching her step out. Pam began to walk toward the station doors, but when she noticed he wasn’t getting out, she stopped and turned back slowly.He rolled down the window so she could see him clearly.“You’re not coming?”“I have to save my company first, Pam… we can’t lose both.”“Both? We?” Pam snapped. She marched back to the window, each step sharp with disbelief. Her eyes shimmered with anger and tears. “What do you mean by ' we? You can’t be here for me now that my father’s in police custody, but you want to save yourself instead? Isn’t that selfish?”Oliver’s lips curved into a tired, almost resigned smile. “Pam, everyone’s selfish at some point. You can call off the wedding if you want, but that doesn’t mean I hate you. I just have to deal
Chapter 42 - Unexpected sympathy
It had been over an hour, and Carl was still strapped to the seat in the secret laboratory. There was no one else in there but John and himself. And for so long, he had not felt like himself; he thought he was drunk, and as much as he didn’t want to answer all the questions that John threw at him, he couldn’t stop himself from saying what he didn’t want to, and even more than he was supposed to.A video recorder was positioned across the lab, and he was assured that every word and action was being captured in high-resolution video and audio. He looked at John, who sat opposite him, a cold smile playing on his face the whole time. John had a notebook and a pencil in his hand, scribbling throughout the entire interview.“I have one last question for you, Carl, before my little genius juice wears off,” John said, adjusting his sitting position and placing his notebook on the desk nearest to him. “How much did he pay you for all this?”Carl’s face fell when he asked this question. “Nothin
Chapter 41 - Just go home sweetie
Pam’s eyes widened with realization. Kevin had truly walked away, and none of this was an act as she had assumed. She turned to Oliver, hands shaking.“What just happened?”“I should be asking you,” he replied. “You didn’t know all this while, and you’ve been married to him?”Pam ran her fingers through her hair. She raised an eyebrow and dropped it, pinched the eyebrows that she didn’t have, and stroked her chin like a confused detective. By now, Oliver was already at the exit; truly, he didn’t know how to react to the situation, and shame had already covered him like a blanket.At this point, he knew that all hope was lost. There was no stopping the Evermore from cutting them off now, not after he had taken away the CEO’s wife. That alone had put him on their bad side, and he knew it. But he wasn’t afraid of being cut off; he was more fearful of what Oscar might do with his position as CEO.Ordinarily, a cut-off meant the Evermore would simply quit supporting them, and if that’s the
Chapter 40 - Meeting the CEO 2
Oscar stood frozen for a fraction of a second, his eyes glued to Kevin’s face as though the man had just spoken something otherworldly. Of all the people he expected to encounter today, Pam was the absolute last, and she hadn’t even crossed his mind until now.“My wife?” he asked, as though his ears were playing tricks on him. “Why does she want to see… oh.” Realization dawned on him, and the confusion vanished, replaced instantly by a sinister smile. “What do you think, Kevin? Should I go and say hi?”Kevin smiled. “I think you should, sir.”Back in the lobby, the receptionist got a call from Kevin. Their conversation lasted only a few seconds before she turned back to Pam and Oliver, who had not left the front of her desk the entire time.“The acting CEO will be with you shortly.”Oliver’s eyes widened. He glanced at Pam, disbelief written all over his face. “Does he know you?”“We have never met,” she replied. “But it is a good thing he’s coming, because I am not leaving until he
Chapter 39 - Meeting the CEO 1
A dark grey car pulled into the parking lot, sliding into one of the vacant spaces. Inside, Pam sat fuming, her anger just as fierce as it had been when they left the station. Oliver had tried everything to calm her, reassuring her, even promising to handle the situation himself. But Pam wasn’t interested in peace. Not today.The moment the engine went quiet, she pushed the door open and stepped out, slamming it hard enough to make Oliver flinch. She didn’t wait for him. She didn’t even look back. She stormed straight toward the entrance.The building looked different from the last time she’d visited with her father. Subtle changes…but enough to unsettle her. Even the large signpost that once read Evermore Quarters was gone.“Pam!” Oliver called from behind her. She turned to glare at him, held his gaze for a second, then looked away sharply and kept going. She slipped through the revolving doors before he could catch up.Pam marched to the receptionist’s desk. Without greeting or he
