Chapter 12
Cole stood frozen, dazed. Boss? He wasn’t anybody’s boss—at least, not that he knew of. He eyed the scar-faced man warily. Was this fear talking… or was the universe playing a twisted joke?“What the hell are you doing?!” Blake barked. “Kill him already!”The bald man rose to his feet.For a moment, the entire room held its breath. This was it. Cole’s final chapter.Only… it wasn’t.The bald man turned—not to Cole—but to Blake, who was now struggling to prop himself up on the floor.“Who the hell do you think you are talking to me like that?!” the bald man said casually.Blake groaned. “If you’re going to take revenge, just do it. I can’t bear to—”WHAP!The slap landed clean across Blake’s head, knocking him out cold once more.The bald man dusted his hands, turned, and returned to Cole’s side with a respectful nod.“I apologize for that, sir.”Cole gave the bald man a short nod, expecting an explanation for his earlier outburst.The man straightened, glancing around. The room had

Blake, seeing there was no one left to come to his rescue if that Cole bastard made another move, scrambled to his feet like a man waking from a nightmare.“You might be enjoying this now,” he spat, trying to summon some spine, “but don’t you ever forget—I’m the heir to the Blackridge Consortium Group! The only heir!”His voice cracked, but he raised it louder, hoping it would drown out the panic clawing at his throat.“I’ll come back for you, Cole! You’ll regret every second of this!” he added, staggering toward the door, already halfway gone.But Cole wasn’t done.He started walking toward Blake, not hurried. Blake halted, twisting back. “What now? You think an apology will fix this?” he hissed. “My father is the fucking president of the Blackridge Consortium Group. By the time he hears about this—you’re dead!”Cole didn’t give a damn about some president.Not when this coward had failed Amanda—and still had the audacity to run his mouth like this?Rage blanketed Cole's senses.Wit
Chapter 10
What?! Blake came to apologize? Everyone looked one another in the face. Who was Cole to have suddenly become someone that Blake would come apologize to? What the hell…Blake busted into laughter all of a sudden. As if amused by his own joke, Blake burst into laughter. When he stopped, the silence was louder than ever. Confusion clouded every face in the room.“That bastard just ruined my company,” Blake said, his smile gone now.“What?!” Tyler shot up from the side, face red.“You’d all better find him—fast,” Blake said. “He walked into my building and injured ten of my top men. Ten. And I’m not talking bruises here. Doctors aren’t sure a few of them will even recover. And for what? An apology?”It clicked. One by one, expressions changed. Blake hadn’t come to make peace. He was here for blood.“Where’s the turtle?” Blake glanced around like he already knew Cole was too much of a coward to stand his ground. “Don’t tell me he ran off.”“You goddamn bastard! Look at the mess you’ve m

Cole slapped Tyler so hard the sound cracked through the room like a thunderclap, leaving jaws hanging mid-air.“You hired a fucking psychiatrist to write some trashy report about Amanda,” Cole snarled, his voice low, dangerous, “just to keep her out of the running for heir? Seriously?”Tyler's face froze, eyes widening for a brief second.That psychiatrist had left New York months ago. How the hell did Cole—WOSH!Another slap. Harsher. Louder.“That’s for the other night,” Cole growled, breath hot with fury, “when you drugged Amanda and dumped her on granny’s bed like some scandalous prop—just to make it look like disrespect.”Amanda’s eyes blew wide. She remembered that night. The way her body had felt heavy. The way she'd woken up humiliated in Granny’s bed.But Cole still wasn’t done.WOSH.Another slap. This one was brutal. Tyler staggered back like he’d just caught a punch from a heavyweight fighter.“You hypocritical son of a bitch,” Cole seethed. “You have the audacity to spe
Chapter 8
A young, stern-looking man led Grandma into the hall, slow and steady, like she was some fragile antique worth millions. That man was Tyler.One of those types who would shoot you a death glare if you so much as hinted that luck had a hand in their success. Tyler was dressed head-to-toe in a matching designer sweatsuit that screamed money—but let’s be honest, if not for the old woman he was guiding in, the best he’d be wearing was clearance-rack Walmart.Orphaned young. Raised by Grandma. Won her favor. Now practically heir-apparent. But sure, no handouts there, right? Cole let out a silent scoff.Almost as if they heard it, Tyler and Grandma’s gazes snapped toward him at the same time.Grandma didn’t waste a beat. Her eyes scanned the crowd, sharp and accusing, until they landed on Amanda. “Haven’t you brought enough disgrace to this family by marrying this useless rag?” Her voice sliced through the hall, far too loud and strong for someone with one foot in the grave.“Actually, Gra
Chapter 7
Despite the short notice, by the time Amanda arrived at the mansion’s banquet hall that evening, every other member of the family was already there.Her eyes swept the room. Everyone was deep in conversation, most of them pretending it was about the afternoon’s deal or some contract—but really, it was just a bunch of high-dollar bragging.“You think Grandma’s finally announcing the heir tonight?” she overheard one of her cousins say from across the hall.“It’s about time,” another groaned. “What’s with all the suspense? She’s not auditioning for a Netflix thriller.”“I literally bought this gown an hour ago. Two million dollars. I refuse to look like background noise when she announces my brother as the heir!” another cousin shrieked, practically throwing her champagne flute into the air like it was a mic drop.Amanda sighed. Yeah. So it was what everyone was talking about. The same tired topic, the same recycled ambition in new designer fits.She turned on her phone and pretended to
