Inside the elevator, Caiden pulled out the Black Unlimited Mortgage Card from his pocket.
This card served two purposes. It's a digital card programmed with the fingerprint of the owner, able to open all the doors and vaults in a luxury estate. Likewise connected to the World Bank, given to only the highest investors in the bank and so far there are only three persons in the world who own this card.
With this card, one can get all the luxuries of the world and still not get bankrupt instead richer. This card signified power and dominance.
This is what he had decided to give to his wife after their marriage. But she betrayed him.
When the elevator doors slid open, Caiden stepped out.
“Sorry for your frustration,” a mocking voice called out.
Caiden lifted his gaze calmly and looked. It was Nevan. It was clear he had been chasing him over to continue the taunts.
Not wanting any interaction, Caiden attempted to walk past him, but Nevan shifted to block his way again.
Caiden’s expression turned icy as he looked straight at him. “Do you need something? If not, move aside.”
Nevan grinned exaggeratedly. “Look at this, everyone, Maelie's little lap dog is actually snapping at me! Let me guess, you're angry you'd be homeless when kicked out of here? Well, it's your fault. You brokeass rejected the money given to you.”
“What a pity!”
As he mocked Caiden, Nevan’s attention fell on the card in his hand.
“What's that?” Nevan asked, peering closely.
Nevan’s eyes widened in shock.
“Wait… isn’t that the Black Unlimited Mortgage Card?”
“Granted by the World Bank. Owned by only three people in the world?”
The scream quickly attracted attention from the staff nearby. Everyone turned to look.
People gathered around, staring in awe at the card. An impossible dream of many.
Caiden folded his hand closely over the card.
Now that things with Maelie were over, he saw no reason to tolerate the people around her anymore.
“Grab him!” Nevan shouted at his bodyguards. “Make him explain where he got that card. A nobody like him has no right to possess it! You must be the world's most wanted hacker, big thief…..you've been undercover all these while. Are you sure you didn't kill the CEO to get it?”
It had been rumored the CEO of Howard Hospital, the richest man in the world, had this card. They said he owned several chains of companies all over the world which weren't made public.
“It could be some propaganda…him staying abroad.” He spoke to the staff. “No wonder you wanted to marry her daughter, to kill her too and get this hospital to yourself.”
Before long, Nevan had changed the narrative of things and everyone was beginning to believe.
“If Mr. Logan is alive, why has he stayed abroad for long? Not even a visit.”
Before the guards could act, Caiden turned and delivered a sharp slap across Nevan’s face.
Nevan groaned as blood and a tooth flew from his mouth, his body was sent flying several meters before crashing to the ground.
His eyes widened in disbelief. He could not comprehend how a mere, weak doctor like Caiden had dared to strike him.
The two bodyguards hesitated briefly, stunned by Caiden’s strength, but quickly rushed forward to protect their hospital ally and attacked with a shout.
However, Caiden knocked them out effortlessly with two quick punches before they could lay their hands on him.
Nevan was left in shock, he couldn't understand how a common doctor had so much skill in fighting. Someone who could barely talk.
The surrounding employees were left speechless.
After casting a cold glance at the groaning Nevan, Caiden turned and walked away.
Not long after he left, Maelie and Cara arrived, having heard the disturbance.
“Oh, Nevan! Who did this to you? Do they have a death wish?” Cara exclaimed as she hurried to help him up.
Holding his swollen face, Nevan growled, “It was that useless Caiden! I’ll make him pay for this a hundred times over!”
Cara immediately became furious. “What? That bastard dared to hurt you? He must still be bitter about Maelie dumping him. That trash won’t get away with this!”
“But Maelie, you won’t believe what I saw. That guy actually stole the Black Unlimited Mortgage Card. He must be a big undercover criminal.”
Maelie froze. “What? Are you sure you saw it well? My dad got that. How could he get possession of it?”
This was her dream card, which she believed her dad would give to her the day he handed over to her.
“I saw it myself!” Nevan insisted. “Ask anyone here if you don’t believe me. Call your dad. I'm scared! What if he killed him or sent men to kill him and get the card?”
Maelie frowned, doubtful. “Are you not really exaggerating? I've been with Caiden for three years, he's always hospital to home and home to hospital. I've never found such a card with him. How could he get it?”
She was doubtful.
Nevan sneered. “Can you call your dad to confirm?”
Cara quickly added, “Exactly! It must be stolen or fake!”
“What would he use a fake card for?” Cara couldn't answer.
Maelie first called over a few employees to verify what had happened.
After confirming that Caiden indeed had the card with him, her expression darkened with anger and panic.
“This is outrageous!” She pulled out her phone to call her dad but it wasn't connecting. She does talk to him once in a while as he's busy with his role, how could something happen to him? He even promised to come back soon for the upcoming wedding he announced to him. With Nevan, the guy he'd always known to be his fiance. Not Caiden.
While waiting to connect with her dad, Maelie decided to handle this case herself.

Chapter 33
The celebration of the relationship was done at Roman's house. Just Roman, Lena, Carlos and Zara. Roman wanted to make a toast to it and welcome Zara to the family officially. The next few days were good, everything followed the smoother path. Well, until a fine morning. A press story broke out from an anonymous source claiming Roman used political connections to secure the infrastructure deal unfairly. The heading was ghastly. “Roman secures infrastructure deals from frolicking rather than bidding.” The story went on to accuse Roman of being in a relationship with Elara, labelling it as the reason he got the job. Photos of him and Elara in the restaurant were also surfacing. The claims that he was cheating on his wife also surfaced and his image was slowly getting tarnished. The story was of major concern. It wasn't just a business story, but a public and moral one. Roman had always been seen as a moral person and this definitely made people question him. Even though the stor
Chapter 32
In the weeks after Edward Ashford’s arrest, Caiden experienced a silence unlike anything he had known since before the auction. The media moved on from scandal to something closer to praise, framing him as the doctor who had inherited a legacy, uncovered his mother’s truth, and helped bring down a decades-old criminal network.It was the sort of story journalists were quick to embrace, and for the first time, Caiden found he didn’t resist being at its center.But the stillness unsettled him. After so long in constant conflict, he had almost forgotten what it meant to live without it.“You need to relax,” Cecilia said one evening as they sat on the penthouse balcony, watching the sunset spread color across the sky. “The Consortium is finished. Ashford is in custody. The immediate threats are gone. You’re allowed to breathe again.”“There’s still his protégé,” Caiden said. “The woman who delivered the flash drive. We don’t know her identity, or what she’s really after.”“We do know she

The following morning after the wedding, Caiden stirred before sunrise. Cecilia was still asleep beside him, one hand lightly resting on his chest, her breathing even and calm. He stayed still, watching the faint light of early morning slip through the curtains, his mind turning over everything that had already happened, and everything still ahead.On the nightstand lay the flash drive the unknown woman had delivered. Marcus had spent the night going through it, and a preliminary report was already waiting on Caiden’s phone. He hadn’t opened it yet. For a few hours, he had chosen to keep the war at a distance, just long enough to have one night that belonged entirely to them.Now the night has ended.Caiden eased himself out of bed as quietly as possible, careful not to disturb Cecilia. Despite his effort, she shifted anyway, she always seemed to notice.“Where are you going?” she asked, her voice still thick with sleep.“To go through Marcus’s report,” he said softly. “Go back to bed

The wedding day came with clear skies and an unseasonably warm breeze. The rooftop garden had been completely transformed, like something out of a fairytale. Glass candles lined the walkways, soft light flickering against the evening air, while white and gold flowers covered every surface in carefully arranged abundance. Somewhere nearby, a string quartet played gently as guests settled into their seats, the music drifting through the open space.Michael had organized security with military-level precision. Every attendee was carefully screened, every supplier thoroughly checked. Plainclothes operatives were placed strategically across the hospital grounds, while FBI agents blended into the guest list. Commander Ellis had even brought in his team from London as a personal favor.If the Consortium intended to strike, they wouldn’t find a ceremony, they would find a heavily fortified stronghold.Caiden stood at the altar with Michael beside him as his best man. For the first time, ther

The engagement was made public in a quiet way, a brief newspaper notice and an official statement from the hospital’s PR team. After months of intense media attention, Caiden and Cecilia had decided they wanted this announcement to remain personal and low-key.However, the news still spread quickly. Congratulations came in from all parts of Caiden’s circle. Evelyn Cho sent a large bouquet of flowers with a simple note that said, “Finally.” Marcus Webb dropped by Caiden’s office with a premium bottle of whiskey and a grin that seemed impossible to contain. From Dubai, Amir called to offer his blessings and even proposed hosting the wedding at one of his family’s palaces.Even Maelie sent a card. It was simple, handwritten, almost restrained: “Congratulations to you both. Wishing you every happiness.”Caiden read it once, then again, before quietly putting it away. The person she used to be in his life felt like a distant memory now, familiar, yet unreachable. They had both become diffe

Michael found him the next morning, waiting outside his office with an expression that meant bad news."Edward Ashford is dead."Caiden stopped mid-stride. "How?""His body was found at an estate in Switzerland. Apparent heart attack. The Swiss authorities are calling it natural causes.""You don't believe that.""I don't believe in coincidence." Michael handed him a tablet with the Swiss police report. "He died three days ago, right after our press conference. Right after we released the evidence against him.""He knew we were coming for him. The stress—""Maybe. Or maybe someone else got to him first. Someone who didn't want him talking."Caiden stared at the report. Edward Ashford had been the architect of his mother's murder. The founder of the Consortium. The shadow that had hung over his family for thirty years. And now he was dead before Caiden could face him."There are others still out there," Michael continued. "The Consortium's leadership was never just one man. Ashford was
