CHAPTER 28
In the luxurious office of West Industries, Denver's father, Harold West, paced behind his mahogany desk like a caged predator.His face was flushed with rage, and his expensive suit was wrinkled from hours of furious gesticulation."Five million dollars!" he roared into his phone, his voice echoing off the walls."My worthless son cost me five million dollars because of some nobody!"The man on the other end of the line spoke in calm, professional tones."Mr. West, our team can handle this situation discretely. What exactly do you want us to do?""I want that Keith Cross bastard to pay back every penny!" Harold snarled, his knuckles white as he gripped the phone. "Kidnap him, torture him, do whatever it takes to get my money back!""Understood, sir. We'll need his current location."Harold pulled out a file filled with surveillance photos. "My people tracked him to Villa No.1, Northhill Estate. Apparently, the little fraud is living in some rich woman's house like a kept pet."That p
CHAPTER 27
In the opulent study of Villa No.1, Keith sat behind a massive oak desk while Viola spread detailed files across its polished surface.The late afternoon sun filtered through tall windows, casting golden light across documents that represented the city's most powerful players."The Sacred Heart Herb auction is scheduled for the day after tomorrow," Viola began, her voice carrying the precision of a seasoned business executive."The venue is the Grand Meridian Hotel's exclusive auction house."She pulled out a thick portfolio filled with photographs and dossiers."I've compiled intelligence on the major bidders you'll be competing against."Keith leaned back in his leather chair, studying the information with calculating eyes."Tell me about the serious contenders.""The Ashford family will be there," Viola replied, pointing to a photograph of an elderly man in an expensive suit."They control the largest private medical research facility on the East Coast. Estimated net worth: eight b
CHAPTER 26
The Richardson family mansion felt more like a funeral parlor than the seat of a once-prosperous pharmaceutical empire.In the opulent conference room, tension crackled through the air like electricity as the family's matriarch, Grandmother Sally, sat at the head of the mahogany table with murder in her eyes."Explain to me," Sally's voice cut through the silence like a razor blade, "how our family's business partnerships have completely collapsed in a single day!"Emilia shifted uncomfortably in her chair, her designer dress wrinkled from stress and her makeup smeared from crying."Grandmother, I've been trying to reach Cross Pharmaceuticals all morning, but they won't even take my calls!""Won't take your calls?" Sally's voice rose to a dangerous pitch."We've had a standing partnership with Cross for years! They've been our most reliable supplier!"Melaine wrung her hands nervously."The receptionist said our account has been... suspended indefinitely. They wouldn't provide any exp
CHAPTER 25
Yona's exhaustive search had finally led her to a breakthrough when she spoke with a nurse at the hospital who remembered Keith mentioning something about Northhill Estate.Now she stood at the imposing gates of Villa No.1, her heart pounding with a mixture of hope and disbelief.The same security guards who had humiliated Keith earlier approached her with professional courtesy, their demeanor vastly different from their earlier encounter."Ma'am, this is private property," the older guard said politely."May I ask what brings you here today?""I'm looking for Keith Cross," Yona replied, her voice trembling with nervous energy."I believe he might be staying here. I'm his... I'm his sister-in-law, Yona Richardson."The guards exchanged meaningful glances. The younger guard stepped forward. "One moment please, ma'am. Let me contact the residence."Keith Cross living in a place like this? Yona thought, staring at the magnificent estate beyond the gates.This has to be some kind of mista
CHAPTER 24
The gleaming black Mercedes pulled up to the imposing gates of Villa No.1, Northhill Estate, its engine purring with the quiet confidence of German engineering.Keith sat behind the wheel, observing the massive wrought-iron gates that protected one of the city's most exclusive properties.Two security guards emerged from their booth, their uniforms crisp but their expressions immediately hostile as they approached the vehicle.The older guard, a burly man with a permanent scowl, tapped aggressively on the driver's window."Hey! What do you think you're doing here?" the guard barked as Keith lowered the window."This is private property, not a tourist attraction!"His partner, a younger man with beady eyes, laughed mockingly."Look at this guy! Probably some beggar who stole a fancy car and thinks he can crash at a rich person's place!""I'm here to access my property," Keith replied calmly, his voice carrying no hint of irritation despite their rudeness.The older guard burst into der
CHAPTER 23
Luigi straightened his tie with practiced arrogance, his voice carrying the authority of someone who believed he held real power within the company."Security! We have an unauthorized individual who needs to be escorted from the premises immediately!"Two uniformed guards appeared within moments, their professional demeanor suggesting they took such requests seriously.Luigi gestured dismissively at Keith like he was pointing out a piece of trash."This man is attempting to infiltrate our facility," Luigi declared pompously."Remove him at once before he causes any disruption to our important business meetings."Keith's expression remained utterly calm as he regarded the approaching security team."I'd be careful if I were you gentlemen. You might find yourselves on your knees begging for forgiveness very soon."Natalie burst into vicious laughter that echoed through the marble lobby like the cackle of a hyena. "Listen to him! The delusional blood bag thinks he's some kind of corporat
