CH 0010 THE BEGINNING
"Excellent," Watson replied. "I will inform the representative of your acceptance immediately. The contract signing will be scheduled for tomorrow. Someone from Gates Corporation will be in touch with the details. Have a wonderful day, Lady Morgan.""Thank you, Mr. Watson. Thank you so much."With that, the call ended.A wave of stunned silence filled the room as Lady Morgan slowly lowered the phone. Then her face broke into a triumphant smile."We have successfully sealed a deal with Gates Corporation worth eighty million dollars!" she exclaimed, her voice ringing through the drawing room.The room erupted."That's unbelievable and fantastic news at the same time!""Byron actually did it! He pulled off the impossible!""Gates Corporation! Do you know what this means?! We're literally ascending the social ladder! At this rate, all the prestigious families of South City will want to partner with us!""We're saved! The company is saved!"Family members rushed to congratulate Byron, shak
CH 0009 THE GOOD NEWS
"Yes, Mother. It was one of the representatives of Gates Corporation." At the mention of Gates Corporation, the entire room gasped heavily. Byron's younger brother Nicholas, who'd been sitting quietly in the corner hoping to inherit everything, shot to his feet. "What do you mean? You're now lying to our faces?!" "I am telling the truth." Byron pulled the folder from his briefcase. "I have been offered a partnership deal from Gates Corporation worth eighty million dollars!" The whole room went into shock, many with their mouths wide open. Lady Morgan included. It took a moment before she became self-conscious and composed herself. The amount had shocked her so much that she became frozen for several long seconds. When she recovered, her face twisted with disbelief and rage. "Have you lost your mind?!" she barked at Byron. "What gave you the audacity to cook up lies just to avoid marrying Emilia Martin! When you know the situation we are currently in!” Byron sighed in disbelief.
CH 0008 SALVATION
“I'm going to sue this hotel into Oblivion. Do you know who I am?” Watson escorted Knox out a side entrance, unnoticed in the commotion. "Well done," Knox said quietly as he walked to the waiting car. "Thank you, young master. Do you think he'll sign?" Knox's smile was cold. "He will. Desperate men always take the bait. They're too busy drowning to see the shark beneath the surface." "And when he does?" "Then the real game begins," Knox said, sliding into the car. "Lady Morgan tortured my mother for seven years. Now I'm going to give her family hope. Make them believe they're saved. Let them celebrate. Let them feel relief." "And then?" Knox's eyes were ice. "And then why don't you just wait and find out." He uttered, his eyes dark. The car pulled away from Golden Hotel, leaving the chaos and confusion behind. Inside, Byron Voss stared at the contract, his future hanging in the balance. Outside, Lady Morgan screamed at hotel staff, demanding answers, but Watson was able to
CH 0007 A CONDITION
Byron's excitement faltered. "Condition? What condition?""The representative learned about your wedding today to Emilia Martin. Knowing that post-marriage typically involves extended honeymoon periods and divided attention, they want the partnership to begin immediately with your full focus. Therefore, the condition is simple: you must call off your wedding and not marry anyone for the duration of this partnership—at least until the project between Gates Corporation and the Voss family is completed."Byron's face went through a series of emotions—confusion, disbelief, fear."You want me to... cancel my wedding? Right now? For a business deal?""For an eighty-million-dollar partnership with one of the most prestigious corporations in the country, yes," Watson confirmed."But the Martins—Emilia 's father will—he'll destroy us! He has connections, power! If I humiliate his daughter like this—""With all due respect, Mr. Voss," Watson said quietly, "the Martin family's investment was goi
CH 0006 DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
"Yes, young master. Consider it done." Knox ended the call. Lamar burst into laughter. "Oh my God! This guy! You should be an actor, seriously! That was the best performance I've seen all day!" He turned to his colleague. "Did you hear him? 'Fire Lamar immediately!' Like he owns the damn place!" "Pathetic," the other guard added. "You really think some phone call is going to—" Lamar's phone rang. His laughter died as he saw the caller ID: Chief Anderson - Head of Security. "Don't you dare move, or I'll cripple you," Lamar warned Knox, stepping back to answer the call. "Hello? Chief?" "YOU FOOL!" The voice exploded from the phone so loud that Knox could hear every word. "Who the hell did you offend?!" Lamar's face went pale. "Sir, I didn't—there's just some beggar trying to get into the estate, and I'm handling it—" "What is he wearing?" "Uh... white T-shirt... black jeans... why does it—" "You idiot! That man is someone very powerful! You just lost your job, dummy! Let him
CH 0005 THE BETRAYAL II
The words hit the air like shrapnel. Knox has heard painful words, but this broke something in him that he couldn't explain.God knows how happy he had been the last few months when he heard he was going to be a father.She rolled her eyes, “Stop acting pathetic, Knox! I'll sleep with whoever I want since you're too poor to take care of me.. You can't provide half of the things Ethan has given me, so you don't get to demand loyalty from me!”He sighed painfully, "How close?""What?""How close were the timelines? When you slept with him and when you slept with me."Bianca's face twisted with contempt. "Why does it matter? The baby's yours! I know it is!""How. Close."Something in his tone made her falter. Just for a second. Then the venom came back, defensive and sharp."Since you're so desperate to hear it, then it was the same day, okay?! The same fucking day! I slept with him in the morning and then I came to see you for our conjugal visit that afternoon! Are you happy now?! Is th
