Once inside the company building, Meredith was about to head to Max's office, hoping to get some work done before Max returned, only to receive unexpected news from the receptionist.

“Madam, Ms. Natasha Cavendish has requested to meet with the boss. She is currently waiting in the conference hall.”

Meredith frowned as she couldn't help but wonder why Natasha was here, but was well aware of the fact that she couldn't ignore her, let out a sigh as she remarked. “Lead the way.”

She'd have to figure it out before Max's return.

Tasha paced back and forth in the hospital hallway while waiting for the doctor to finish checking up on her mother.

Max could understand her worries after all, her mother was just recently discharged and already had to return to the hospital.

Thankfully, he had arrived when he did, else who knew what could have happened.

Taking a deep breath, he got to his feet and grabbed Tasha's wrist, jolting her from her troubled thoughts.

“Calm down, Tasha, everything wil

    “The Sanchez family?” Max raised a brow, having not expected that they would be ballsy enough to do something so stupid.Didn't they consider what would happen if their man was caught?No, perhaps they had other things in place.Almost like he'd heard Max's thoughts, the guard spoke up. “Also, we found this at the office and underneath your car.”As he spoke, he pulled out two bombs that had already been turned to duds.Max's expression cooled considerably as he saw this.So this was why they weren't worried about their man getting caught.They planned to really kill him.Thankfully, he'd anticipated such an act and had ordered another car to pick him up.Taking a deep breath, Max remarked. “Set up a meeting with the head of the Crows.”“Sir?” The guards exchanged looks, unsure of why Max would suddenly bring up that organization.“Just do as I say,” Max said.In his past life, the Sanchez family was quite close with The Crows, so there was no reason why they wouldn't reach out to the

    “Hmm.” Max's expression shifted, as he realized that he was partly to blame for what happened last night.His actions had pushed forward an incident that was supposed to happen in the future.Thankfully, he'd acted when he did, otherwise, who knows what could have happened?“Just be careful, okay?... The Sanchez family is quite dangerous. I don't want to lose you after just getting you back.” Brittany remarked.“Don't worry, you won't. Get some rest.” Max said before proceeding to take his leave.Outside, two suited men were waiting.They were a part of the Augustus security detail otherwise known as Guardians, a group dedicated to protecting the Augustus family from all external threats.The group was made up of ex-military personnel, ensuring that they were quite skilled.“Make sure no one comes in here while I'm away, understood?” Max remarked with the two men nodding in response.With that, Max took his leave while also making a mental note to audit the Guardians as soon as possib

    The next day, the news quickly spread of the death of Arturo Sanchez, which naturally caught the corporate world by storm.No one expected such news, and so, they could only wonder what had caused his death.Naturally, the most shaken by the news was the Sanchez family themselves who had lost their heir.Currently, most members of the family were gathered in the main hall with Arturo’s body placed on a pedestal at the center of the hall.Dressed in white clothes, they were all in mourning with Arturo's mother, crying the loudest as she held onto the corpse of her son. Carlos stood to the side accompanied by Inspector Martin.“Have you found the culprit?” Carlos asked with Martin replying.“Not yet, but we have reason to believe that it was Maximilian Augustus.”“What?... That bastard did this?”“Most likely, though we don't have solid proof.”“What do you mean you don't have solid proof?... Doesn't Hotel La Casa have cameras?”“They do, but the penthouse that Arturo was found in had

    “No! You’re not touching me!” Brittany stood her ground.“Hehe, say what you want but you’re going to sate me right now!” He lunged forward and began yanking at her clothes like a beast.“Go away!” Struggling with all her might, Brittany planted a firm kick at Arturo's groin, and the man immediately doubled over, groaning.“You bitch, I'm going to reach you a lesson!”“Go fuck yourself!” Brittany cursed out.Arturo retorted. “I'd rather fuck you!”Brittany quickly staggered out of the bed and hurried to the bathroom with Arturo hurrying to catch her.Immediately she got inside, she locked the door and lay against it, before realizing that she didn't have her phone with her. Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Arturo began to kick it, causing it to shake.Brittany tried to stop it from falling over but alas, the drug her friends had given her made her too weak to do that.It didn't take long before the door gave way, causing her to roll away to avoid getting injured.Her breathi

    It was already midnight and Brittany wasn't home yet, leaving Max quite worried as he paced around in the living room.He tried her number a few times but it didn't go through, further increasing his worries.In his past life, Brittany had committed suicide after being violated in a conspiracy orchestrated by her friends and some men who had been eyeing her for quite some time.For that reason, Max had been intending to speak to her about being wary of her friends.Unfortunately, he'd ended up forgetting to do so due to the amount of work he had to handle.He was worried that his actions might have caused changes to the progression of events, which meant he had to be extra cautious, else the future might just end up repeating itself, and that was something he couldn't let happen.With no other choice, he decided to track her phone only to discover that it was switched off, which made it impossible to do so.Just then, Sarah made an appearance in the living room. “You are still awake?”

    It has been quite some time since Brittany was able to let loose and party, so after her classes for the day were done, she and a few of her girlfriends didn't hesitate to head out into town for some fun.They'd visited a total of three places and were currently on their way to Club Rose, one of the most expensive clubs in Westbrook.“Ugh, it's already getting late, maybe I should get going,” Brittany remarked while scrolling on her phone.She already has a bit of a headache from the constant partying but it seemed her friends weren't satisfied yet.“Oh come on, don't tell me a bit of time away has made you so weak.” Chloe, one of her friends, teased.“Hey, who are you calling weak?... I'm quite strong, mind you.” Brittany shot back.“Then stop whining and let's keep up with the party.”“Exactly and what do you mean it's late?... It's only 8pm. We aren't going home until 2 in the morning.” Sandra, another of her friends, loudly said.“2?” Brittany was stunned. “But we've got classes t
