126. Maya's Return
Elena’s phone buzzed just seconds after she sent Franco the message.She glanced at the screen—a text from Edgar.> “Mother is awake, Elena. You can start coming back already.”Her breath hitched.Tears still lingered in her eyes from the breakdown at the hospital restroom. Her entire world had just collapsed—her company sold, her pride shredded—but this… this was a flicker of light in the middle of the storm.She wiped her cheeks quickly and straightened herself in the car mirror. Then, without responding to anyone or waiting for security escorts, she drove straight to the hospital—avoiding reporters and camera flashes like the plague.The moment she stepped into the hospital corridor, she broke into a run.The smell of disinfectant, the dim hallway lights, the quiet beeping of machines—it all faded the second she burst into her mother’s ward.“Mother!” Elena gasped, throwing her arms around the fragi
125. Franco? The Buyer?
Elena’s voice cracked, barely a whisper. Her fingers trembled over the final page of the acquisition documents as her eyes locked on the bold name printed across the signature line: Franco Milton.Her heart dropped.She blinked once. Twice. As if the name might disappear if she just looked hard enough. But it remained undeniable. Permanent.“No... it can’t be,” she choked out, her fingertips brushing the spot where she had nearly signed.Franco, her ex-husband. The man she once humiliated for dreaming too small. The man she mocked for his inability to afford anything beyond a cramped, failing apartment. The man she walked away from without looking back.And now?He had bought her company.Her company. The empire she’d built from the ground up just to prove she didn’t need him.Elena’s breath grew ragged as she flipped through the pages again, her hands shaking so violently she could barely hold the contract. The room went still. The legal team exchanged anxious glances but said nothin
124. Buying Off The Company
The board members stared at one another, their jaws slack with disbelief. “You mean to say we already have a buyer?” asked one of the men seated at the far end, swirling wine in his glass. “But how is that even possible? We haven’t made any official announcement that the company is up for sale.” Silence blanketed the room. The question hit like a thunderclap—too logical to ignore. Elena clenched her phone tighter. How can someone want to buy Froston Group when no sales proposal has been made? Even more disturbing, he knew exactly how to initiate the listing. “Something’s not right,” she muttered, dropping her phone onto the table. The murmuring resumed among the shareholders—uneasy, low-pitched voices filling the air. Then another voice spoke up. “Are you certain of this, Miss Froston? It's hard to believe someone would express interest in buying the company when no public notice has been issued. He doesn't even know what price we’ve set. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” E
123. Selling Off Froston Empire
Elena drove like a storm was chasing her. On the way, she had already sent messages to the remaining board members, invoking the clause in their contracts that allowed them to demand refunds for their shares.By the time she arrived, they were already gathering.Stepping out of her car, Elena paused, her eyes locked on the gleaming structure before her—the Froston Empire building. The empire she had poured her blood and soul into. The same empire she was now being forced to let go of... just to save herself.Tears brimmed in her eyes, hot and bitter. She still couldn’t believe it had come to this. Selling her life’s work to survive.But survival comes first, she reminded herself, blinking back the tears and straightening her shoulders.Inside, a few employees offered weak, hesitant greetings.“Good afternoon, Ma’am,” one mumbled.Others avoided eye contact altogether, pretending she wasn’t there.She didn’t respond. Her heels echoed down the marble hallway as she marched to the boardr
122. A Plan To Sell Froston Empire
It wasn't even up to ten minutes after Elena was dropped off at the hospital, Franco also landed. He stepped down from his car and walked straight to the ward where Rita was admitted.Getting there, he also saw Elena who had just arrived.Still hiding behind the walls, Franco saw Elena pushing the doctor off, her finger pointing straight to his face. “I heard you are the same Neurologist who refused to give treatment to my mother! Do you want her to die?”The Neurologist, Mr Arya Shark, tried to act like he was right. He spoke so coolly. “You have to calm down, Mrs Froston!”“I refused to calm down, Mr Doctor!” Elena screamed, scattering the table beside her. “I refuse to calm down and hear what you have to say. If you want me to stay calm, then you have to go in there and start operating on my Mother!” Mr Shark shook his head, objecting to Elena's threat. “I am sorry to disappoint you, Miss Froston, but your mother's condition is beyond medical care. All she needs right now is divi
121. Another Debt
Elena’s world was already crumbling. She stood there, completely devastated. Even when everyone was calling out her name to exit the premises, she refused to step even an inch away. Edgar had to quickly come out and save Rita who was lying unconscious on the floor. After rescuing Rita, Edgar rushed out to Elena, running as fast as he could to save her from the heavy pillar which was about to fall on her. Before the pillar could land on Elena, Edgar pulled her off. Yelling “It’s obvious you want to die, isn’t it?” Elena shook her head, tears dropping from her eyes. “I deserve to die, Edgar!” She yelled. “What’s the essence of being alive when I have lost almost everything which makes me happy?” She turned to her mother who was still lying unconscious. “My mother. My company. Even my properties! Tell me, Edgar. What’s the essence of being alive when I will just end up getting in so much pain?” Edgar nodded with what Elena said, wiping the tears dropping from her eyes. “You have t
