In Control?

Helena did not panic as usual, she rather observed the pattern of things happening around he. Panic was for people without leverage.l, and that can't be her.

She sat alone in Lucas’s private study the morning after the gala, a stack of printed reports arranged neatly in front of her. The house was quiet today, too quiet for her to neglect her instincts screaming danger ahead.

Lucas had left early that morning, with the excuse of another “strategy breakfast,” another “inve

    Chapter 58Unusual Company He almost shattered it on the floor when the door suddenly opened.And Vivian stepped in. Immediately, he froze because he was caught off guard. He wasn't expecting anyone to be around, let alone Vivian been the one to meet him in such condition. He hates to be vulnerable around people, especially those he's pretending to be unbreakable to. To him, it was more like someone had just pressed the violent button in a movie scene. Gradually, his fingers relaxed as he tried to accept the reality of Vivian catching him in such state. He tried to retreat the monster which he just demonstrated behind a mask of his perfect smile, but it looked more like an impossible act. In a split second, Vivian had already taken mental note of the disaster before her. From the shattered glasses on the floor, to the documents shredded in pieces, even dorn to the broken screen that screamed for mercy. "Who exactly are you becoming?" She asked him the moment she found her voice.

  • Lost Peace

    Chapter 57Lost PeaceThen Julian replied, "I want you to understand something very important. When you learn about the person in charge of everything, there would be no going back to peace.""There's no need holding anything back from me because I already lost peace a long time ago," Iris said with a chuckle.That statement made Julian's face turn cold for the first time before Iris. It wasn't out of rage of everything that had been happening, but his resolve to protect her even more. As everywhere remained silent, his phone suddenly started vibrating, getting his attention back. On checking the screen, he discovered that it was Nathan, but surprisingly, he ignored it. To him, Iris was the only thing that mattered to him at that moment. Iris suddenly noticed his change of attitude, then decided to move closer to him, maybe she could make him spill all he knew about her downfall. "Tell me everything you know," she requested. Julian stared down at her, his eyes glued intensively on

  • Final Attachment

    Chapter 56Final Attachment “Continue,” he said quietly, contributing no other word.She then scrolled down to know if there were other messages sent to her that she knew nothing about."This isn't my way of asking for forgiveness from you. Far be from be, because I actually benefited from it monetarily. I am only passing out this information to alert you of the movement being made recently by the same people to get you again. The reason you became a target to them was because of your refusal to sell your patents then. They did everything possible to force you to merge, bit you blindly refused all their adverses. And at same time, some powerful people were targeting you, craving to have you silenced forever. That way, they would have enough time to carry out their atrocities."Iris scrolled down again, and there was an audio clip, which seemed to be the final attachment. She opened it almost immediately, because she was too eager to know the content. She noticed the voice was disto

  • Iris' Past Returns

    CHAPTER 55 Iris’ Past ReturnsThe message had arrived very late in the night, with no formalities exchanged, or name attached to it. It had only one subject addressing it: You deserve to know the truth.Iris was now seated at the dining table in the penthouse, after an impromptu date with Adrian during the day, though she kind of liked it. Even though the date went well, and too short, she didn't want to invest her time thinking about it, so her laptop was open before her, as she reviewed the different feedback from her recent consulting session. She also promised Adrain a proper date, but that would be after taking care of some things. While still working, dhe almost ignored the email that entered, kind of interrupting her flow. Julian on the other hand hadn't also retired for the night, as he was across the room, silent as usual nothing new, and busy reading through documents on his tablet. While on his business, he suddenly noticed the moment her breathing changed.“Is something

  • The Man's Smile

    Chapter 54Adrian took a quick glance at the car Iris had stepped out of, completely wowed at the sight before him. “Nice ride you've got there.”Iris smiled in a most charming way, leaving Adrain breathless, Vivian struggling for his life, and Celeste grinning from ear to ear, clearly enjoying the drama. “It’s actually not mine,” Iris replied calmly, not ready to pose as the owner, even when the situation requires she do just to save her face. “Just… borrowed for the main time.”Celeste arched her brow the moment she heard that. “Borrowed from whom exactly?”Vivian narrowed her eyes unbelievably, wondering who could have been her support system in her pathetic days. First, she was protected, now, she could easily use expensive cars like they were her own.The words kind of crowded her mind, with each of them craving for attention.Adrian didn’t press further to know who was behind her sudden comeback. Instead, he gestured her toward the restaurant entrance behind them, a way of sugg

  • The Arrival of Iris Nolan

    Chapter 53The Arrival of Iris Nolan Vivian froze instantly at the sight of Iris, the very person she detests so much. For half a second, the whole world remained at a stand still, as she believed her eyes were playing tricks on her. Iris on the other hand looked rather very composed, with soft beige coat, her soft hair falling loosely over her shoulders in a carefree abandon, her confidence wasn't forced, and at same time, worn quietly. She looked nothing close to the publically disgraced woman Vivian had mocked months ag.Adrian looked up immediately, as if her scent had helped in drawing her close to him. He was able to recognize her the very second he set his eyes on her, and that made his entire posture changed, making Vivian almost run mad. “Iris?” He called her name like he had memorizd it for years, and waiting for the day he would show the world how much of her he missed. His voice carried so much warmth that Vivian feared there might be er be any room for her. It was too
