CHAPTER 103
Luca had been silent thinking of how his father was doing. Luca sat in his study, the envelope from Jason lying open on the desk. The evidence, if any of it was true painted a troubling picture of Dorian Ashford. Foreign dealings, secret meetings, even accounts connected to weapon shipments from years ago. Amelia stood by the window, arms crossed. Her expression was unreadable, but her eyes never left Luca. “He’s trying to discredit you by framing your father,” she said quietly. “If this goes public, it’ll taint everything you’ve built.” Luca didn’t respond right away. He just tapped a finger against the table, deep in thought. “They always thought my father vanished in disgrace,” he muttered. “What if he never did? What if he’s been fighting in the shadows this whole time… without telling me?” Amelia turned to him. “You don’t believe the documents, do you?” “I don’t know what to believe anymore,” Luca admitted. “But if Jason thinks I’ll fall apart because of this… he’s for
CHAPTER 102
Jason stood silent for a second, the sting of his father’s hand still burning across his cheek, but the ache of humiliation far worse than any physical pain. “I didn’t know he had that kind of information,” Jason muttered. His voice was hollow, lips trembling from shame and rage. Alfred’s gaze was cold. “That’s exactly the problem. You underestimate people. You thought Luca Ashford was a stain to be wiped off the floor. Now you’ve made him a giant in front of the city’s elite. Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?” Eunice stepped between them, her voice softer but firm. “This isn’t the end. We’ve survived worse, Alfred. We just need a new strategy.” “No,” Alfred snapped. “We need to bury this boy before he gets stronger. He just declared war on this family. So now…” He paused and looked at Jason. “Now we fight back like Stewarts.” Jason’s eyes slowly lifted, his father’s words igniting something in his chest, fury, vengeance, pride. “Then let me do it my way this time.” A
CHAPTER 101
There was a gala, a night for all of the elites and Titans in the entire city that night. Jason wanted to make sure that Luca's reputation was ruined here so that no one in that room would think of partnering with him in the nearest future after he was done with him. The ballroom of the Grand Elysian Hotel glowed with crystal chandeliers, silk gowns, and billion-dollar conversations. It was the Event of the season whereby business moguls, foreign diplomats, social elites. The entire Thornton family was in attendance, including Amelia, looking radiant yet tense in an asymmetrical purple gown like a princess. Jason was there too, smirking. He held a glass of champagne, watching the room like a wolf before a kill. “Any moment now,” he whispered to himself. Then the crowd parted and Luca Ashford walked in well dressed, surprising everyone present even Amelia. Luca's tailored black suit was glistening and also his steel-cold presence brought fear to others. Everyone turned, mu
CHAPTER 100
Jason sat alone in his car, the engine running, but he had no conviction to even drive, his emotions and ego were bruised by Amelia and he just couldn't take it or deal with it. His hands trembled slightly, his knuckles had turned white around the steering wheel. Amelia's words echoed in his mind like a war drum. “I never loved you. And I never will.” He slammed his palm against the steering wheel with a shout, his face twisted with rage. “No. No, this isn't how it ends.” He took a deep breath and pulled out his phone, he needed to do something about this whole thing. If he had called his father, he would have told him to let go and find someone better and he wasn't about to lose Amelia Thornton to a low mysterious individual. He knew it was time to change strategy from the conversation he had earlier, he knew that he had lost Amelia, but he wouldn't sit idle. He called the one person he always swore he’d never deal with. The man his father warned him about. A figure wh
CHAPTER 99
“What are you saying?” Amelia asked feigning ignorance so as not to be obvious that she was affected by his words. “Look, aunt June has always had it out for me. I know that, even if I don't care about her opinions about me, she is still your mother. Anyways, I am not doing this because of her, but because Uncle Leon trusts me and I know he wants us to be together which I am grateful for. But for your reputation to not be dented, you have to go back home.” “*Sighs* Okay… tell me something, you are about to leave again are you not? Or maybe you have something important that you want to do but you aren't telling me.” Amelia blurted out. Luca smiled and said, “Having a childhood friend as a partner sure has its perks, one can never hide from them… Well, I do have something to do. It will take longer than usual, but I will keep in touch. I promise!” Luca uttered. “Am I ever going to see you again?” Amelia asked with sadness in her eyes, somehow she felt that he was going to do s
CHAPTER 98
Jason Stewart sat in his father’s study, brows furrowed, fingers drumming on the edge of the mahogany desk. His mother Eunice Stewart was seated opposite him sipping a cup of coffee. She has gotten better and wanted to find out more on Amelia Thornton to know what she thinks about his son, surprisingly she had grown to be very beautiful and that alone made her believe that Amelia was perfect for her son. But then she found out that Amelia was not in love with her son, despite her mother's imputes so she wanted someone else for Jason. So Eunice, who had someone tailing Amelia, decided to break the news to him about her disappearance. “She what?” he asked again, voice low but laced with disbelief. “She left the house,” Mrs. Stewart replied, sipping her tea like it was gossip she could barely contain. “Without telling anyone. Drove straight to Luca Ashford’s place. Stayed there for hours. Maybe overnight.” Jason’s jaw clenched so tightly a muscle twitched. “And you let her?” “Sh
