Chapter 37: The Eviction
Michael stood in the wide living room, his presence steady like a rock. His eyes moved slowly across the space before resting on Martha, who stood with folded arms and burning eyes. She was stubborn, her whole body trembling with rage, but Michael had no time for another round of words. He raised his hand slightly and gave a firm order.“Take two ladies with you,” he said to one of the bodyguards, “and pack all her things. I don’t want a single piece left inside.”The instruction was like a knife to Martha’s chest. “You dare!” she spat, her voice cracking, but Michael ignored her completely.The two young women and the tall bodyguard went upstairs immediately. Their footsteps echoed on the marble floor as they disappeared into the rooms above. Martha’s hands shook, but her fury kept her rooted to the ground. She stared at Michael as though her eyes alone could burn him alive.Minutes later, the group returned. They carried heavy bags, stuffed with clothes and personal belongings. Th
Chapter 36: The Estate Standoff
Michael and his team arrived at the Donovan estate like soldiers marching to war. The convoy of flashy cars pulled up at the iron gates with an authority that shook even the ground. The two security men at the entrance, both in their usual uniforms, stood rooted in place as the line of vehicles came to a stop before them. Their eyes widened, first in shock, then in disbelief, as they recognized the face of the man stepping out.It was Michael.The same Michael they had once known as an ordinary figure, someone whose presence never demanded a second glance. But the Michael before them now was different. His dressing was sharp, his gait commanding, his face unreadable. Around him were Sonia, Clarissa, two sharply dressed ladies, and two bodyguards who looked like trained machines.One of the guards at the gate cleared his throat nervously but stood firm. “Good morning, sir. Sorry, but we can’t let you in. We don’t have such instructions.”Clarissa stepped forward, her heels clicking
Chapter 35: A New Dawn
The tall glass doors of Donovan Industries slid open, and in walked Michael, flanked by Sonia at his side. Behind them were Clarissa, his ever-loyal assistant, two smartly dressed ladies, and two bodyguards in black suits. Their steps were steady, their presence commanding.The moment they crossed the lobby, heads turned in unison. Typists paused in mid-keystroke. A junior staff almost spilled his coffee. The receptionist’s jaw fell open, her pen frozen in her hand. Whispers began to move like ripples across a pond, spreading from one corner of the building to the other.“It’s him… Michael Ainsley,” one voice muttered.“Eh? The same one from the court case?” another asked, trying to sound discreet though her eyes betrayed her awe.Michael said nothing. His gaze was calm, sharp, his steps measured. Without speaking, he nodded once at Clarissa. She understood immediately, peeling off from his side and heading straight to the Human Resource manager’s desk. The man was tall, slim, and
Chapter 34: The Fall of the Matriarch
The heavy steel door creaked open, and Martha sat up immediately from the bench where she had been brooding for hours. A tall man in a neat suit stepped in, his briefcase dangling by his side, his face carrying the calm firmness of a professional. It was her lawyer, Mr. Stanley Reid.“Martha,” he said softly, walking closer. “I’m sorry I couldn’t make it yesterday when they called me. I was caught up in another hearing.”Martha folded her arms, her expression sharp. “You took your time,” she said bitterly.Stanley dropped the briefcase on the table and sat opposite her. “I came as soon as I could. Tell me what happened. Why were you arrested?”Her lips tightened. “They are accusing me of attempted murder. Can you imagine?” She waved her hand dismissively. “All because of that foolish lawyer that should never have been found in the first place.”Stanley leaned forward, his tone more cautious. “Martha, I need you to be very clear with me. Did you, in any way, order those men to kill th
Chapter 33: The Third Blow
“Mrs. Donovan, you are under arrest for attempted murder,” a firm male voice boomed from behind the three policemen. The words cut through the air like a sharp blade. “You have the right to remain silent, or whatever you say will and can be used against you in the court of law.”Martha’s head snapped up, her eyes narrowing in disbelief. Stepping into the room was a tall man in casual wear, his police badge hanging around his neck. He carried the air of someone who knew his authority and didn’t need a uniform to prove it.“And who are you?” Martha asked, her voice cold.“Inspector Damien Holt,” he said without hesitation. His eyes didn’t linger on her long; he turned to the three uniformed officers and gave a short, decisive order. “Take her away.”“What is this nonsense?” Bohemia barked, stepping forward. “You can’t just—”One of the officers planted a hand firmly against his chest, stopping him in his tracks. “Stay out of this, sir. Unless you want to be arrested for obstruction.”“
Chapter 32: Unmasking the Betrayal
It had started long before the final court hearing. The tension was already thick in Michael’s camp, but nothing could have prepared him for the revelation that came to light. One of the two men assigned to guard the missing lawyer — the man everyone thought they could trust, had been arrested. His name was Kelvin Arrows, a former private security officer with a reputation for being quiet and reliable.Clarissa was the one who dug deep enough to find the cracks in Kelvin’s perfect façade. At first, she didn’t want to believe it. She had handpicked the men herself to ensure no one with loose lips or questionable loyalties would get near the lawyer. But facts are stubborn things. Patterns emerged, gaps in his statements were noticed, and the moment the police matched his phone records to the day and time the lawyer’s location was exposed, the truth began to take shape.By the time Kelvin was hauled into the police station, Michael’s disappointment was mixed with cold, simmering ange
