Chapter 175
Matt sat down outside the conference room he had rented. His legs couldn’t stop shaking, and his body trembled. All he could think about was how he was humiliated! How he was completely disrespected by whoever Devin Stone thought he was! Oh, he was going to show him who was superior, alright, he would make sure Devin wished he had stayed out of his way! He looked at his watch. How guests were supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago, and he had rented the place for an hour. Where were they? He got up and went to take a look inside the room to see if anyone had snuck past him and entered while he was deep in thought. Nobody. The place was so empty that he thought he’d see a person, but the room was so empty that he almost expected to see tumbleweed roll by. “FUCK!” He slammed the door shut behind him so hard the glass rattled. His tie was loose, and sweat had soaked the collar of his shirt. He looked like he was on the edge of losing his damn mind. “Please don’t do that here

When Devin entered the conference room, he could feel it. The place was off, and even though nobody was saying anything, he could feel the tension, and thing was, he understood why. Every major stakeholder of Stone Industries sat around the large, oval glass table, all dressed in fitted suits. He walked to the head of the table and took his seat. He was dressed in a well tailored green suit, rolling the sleeves up to his elbows. He was livid, and he took a deep breath, wanting to take the annoyance out of his tone before he started speaking. “Good evening Mr Stone.” Some of them said. Devin nodded, raising a hand. “Good evening, everyone. Thank you all for coming on such short notice. If I could have avoided this, I would, but something urgent is at hand.” Devin said, sounding irritated. “But let me get to the point, I’m under attack. We’re under attack.” The room stayed quiet, and no one dared to do so much as shift in their chairs. “Some piece of shit filed a lawsuit

The next morning, the sky was very dull. It didn’t exactly look like it was about to rain, but the sun wasn’t shining. The sky looked like it already knew the day was about to go to shit. Devin went to sit behind his desk, and before him was a stack of untouched documents. He was about to go through the paperwork when Wendy barged into his office with a large frown on her face. He groaned, knowing he wasn’t going to like whatever she was about to say right now. “Sir—” She panted, hanging around the entrance. “Wendy, don’t hover around the door like a fly. Come in.” Devin said. “And close the door.” Wendy nodded, closing the door and walking to his desk. “Good morning, Mr Stone. We have just received a court order.” Devin shook his head, scoffing. “A what?” “A lawsuit, that’s what I mean.” Wendy said. “It was filed against us this morning, and it seems really serious.” Devin stood up, his chair screeching as it scraped the floor. “Serious how?” Wendy walked in

The restaurant was nice and pretty, the music was good, and the air smelled really delicious. It as the perfect place to eat, Devin thought. He pulled out a chair for Petra, who smiled and sat down, brushing her curls off her shoulder. “This place is… nice.” She said, looking around. “It’s the only place I could think of that didn’t reek of bad memories.” Devin muttered as he took his seat. “Everything else reminds me of her.” Petra nodded slowly. She didn’t speak right away. Instead, she watched him for a while, watched the way his fingers tapped the table, the way his eyes kept looking anywhere but at her. “You didn’t have to take me out, you know.” She said finally. “I get that you’ve been through more than a rough patch.” “I wanted to, actually.” Devin replied. “You’ve been there for me after everything. I figured I could at least do something decent.” Petra smiled shyly. “Fine. Decent is good.” A waiter came by, took their orders, and poured wine into their
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
They heard the front door open loudly, and Viktor immediately turned to the sound before looking at Amanda above him. “I didn’t know that you were expecting a visitor.” She shrugged. “I didn’t know that you’d be here until you came either.” Devin walked in first, flanked by two of his trusted men, their black coats soaked from the drizzle outside. Amanda jumped from the couch where she had been sitting beside Viktor. Her heart pounded as she saw the look in Devin's eyes, and it was pure bloody murder. Viktor, still shirtless and half-bandaged, looked af her in confusion. “What the fuck—?" "Don't move.” Devin said coldly, lifting a hand. "I'll tear your fucking head off if you even dare to.” Viktor's face went white. His eyes darted to Amanda, and he found out that she had betrayed him. "You..." He growled. "You fucking—" "Shut up, Viktor!” Amanda snapped, standing between the men and the couch. "You used me, you lied to me, and then you touched me with the sam
