Chapter 181
Amanda was watching television in her house when the breaking news banner suddenly appeared. -BREAKING NEWS! LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST STONE ENTERPRISES!- A reporter suddenly appeared on the screen and started to speak. “…reliable sources say that the case could destabilise the company’s entire financial structure.” She suddenly let out a gasp, Devin was in trouble. She quickly picked up her phone and called Luther. “What is it? I can’t believe that you’re still alive!” Luther sounded irritated. “Did you see the news?” Amanda asked, biting her thumbnail. “They’re going after Devin’s company. This could be our chance to—” “Our chance to do what? You called me for that?” Luther cut her off, and she immediately felt small. “I told you I don’t want to fucking hear from you, and even when you call, you can’t call with good news? Typical.” “Luther, wait… just listen to us, we could use this—” “Use it for what? For you to screw things up again?” He snapped. “I’m done with
Chapter 180
Matt was still looking down at the message on his burner phone. He had just got one to communicate with recently, but all he had gotten was a short message that spoke volumes. -Kill Devin Stone.- His hands clenched tighter around the device as he started to tremble. Why did he have to do the dirty work? "Motherfucker!" He grunted. The message had come from the same masked man he'd met with days ago, the same one who promised him Devin's company, his power, and the best seat at the table. But this was beyond what he was actually willing to do. He was alright with maiming, framing, and destroying him, but this wasn't just ordinary sabotage. He was being asked to get his hands dirty, literally. He paced the length of his large room, keeping the lights off, with the only lights around coming in from his large compound. His friend, Ray, sat on the couch, arms crossed. Matt had told him all that was going to happen as soon as he got home days ago, and he was there when Matt recei

The manager wasn't done begging. He was sweating now, and he had both his palms joined like he was praying. "Mr Stone, please. I know this is unforgivable, but I swear we're better than this. Don't ruin us over one foolish girl's mistake." Devin didn't even look at him. His eyes stayed on Petra as she slowly sat down, her face tight and tired. "She was stressed. That's what pisses me off." "I understand, sir, I understand how you feel completely." "No, you don't!" Devin snapped at him, eyes narrowing. "You don't fucking understand what it means to bring someone out to ease their stress, and then some dumb lady in an apron opens her mouth and ruins it. You don't know what that shit feels like." "I'm sorry, you're right. But I know I've failed. Let me fix it." Devin leaned forward, both elbows on the table now. "And how exactly do you plan to do that? You going to turn back time? You got some magic wine that erases memory?" The manager stammered. "I... I c
CHAPTER 178
The waitress stared at the card in Devin’s hand in disbelief. Her mouth parted, but no sound came out. “I… I don’t believe it!” She said, eyeing Devin from head to toe. “There’s only one of that card, and it belongs to the richest man in our city! Look at you, it can’t possibly be you!” Petra got up and stared the woman down. “EXCUSE ME?” “Excuse yourself. I’m sure he stole that card! Do you even believe that he’s the owner yourself?” The waitress asked her. Petra folded her arms, clearly unimpressed. “Don’t make me slap you. Swipe the damn thing or I will call your manager myself!” “If this doesn’t work, I’ll have the police down here immediately and they don’t play with us. You will be locked up, and when the real owner sees what you’ve done, oh, you’d be as good as dead!” People we’re already watching now, drawn to the commotion “TAKE THE FUCKING CARD!” Petra said. “You’re a talkative.” The waitress cleared her throat and took the black card from him reluctant
Chapter 177
“Are you sure about this?” Petra asked as she walked next to Devin into the Italian restaurant at the edge of the city. Devin gave her a small smirk. “Yeah. I’ve been wanting to meet with you for so long to eat, but I’ve had so much on my plate, and I wasn’t even sure that you were interested in seeing me, so…” She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, you were the one that made that happen, and it’s okay, I understand it. You’re not interested.” She said as they walked in. Devin turned to her immediately and held her hands. “No, please don’t think of it that way. I was just… I was reeling from guilt and there were so many emotions in me. I’m sorry you felt that way. I didn’t mean to make you feel like that.” “Yes, you did.” Devin pulled a chair out for her. “It felt like you were trying to punish me.” He sighed as he sat down too. “No. You’re right about something, but it wasn’t you that I was trying to punish, it was myself.” “Perhaps that’s the case, but you ended up pu
Chapter 176
The alley was damp and stinking of piss, the kind of place you wouldn't expect a multi-millionaire like Matt to be crawling around in. But here he was anyway, dressed in a wrinkled grey suit and loafers that had seen better days, looking around like a guilty dog. For the first time ever, he looked quite unkempt. His shirt was untucked, and there were large sweat patches under his armpits that stained his white shirt, and his hair which was usually slicked back was messy from running his fingers through it throughout the day. How awful was this? He had already been humiliated by Devin and had gotten in front of everyone. How could he look people in the eye as a respectable man now? He had been kicked out of the company like garbage, and that humiliation still burned in his bones, in his own soul. This was a small thing to do to get the better of Devin Stone. He checked his watch for the third time. "Where the fuck is this bastard?" He muttered under his breath. "Does he think
