Victoria sat quietly by the window, staring out at the fading evening light. Her thoughts were heavy, her heart restless.

Since leaving prison, she had felt like a shadow trailing behind Sophia.

Everywhere they went, it was Sophia who spoke, Sophia who decided, Sophia who carried herself as though she alone bore the weight of their family.

Victoria, on the other hand, felt invisible.

That night, while Sophia was busy making calls to contacts about her plans to re-enter the business scene, Victoria slipped her phone into her bag and quietly left the house. Her steps were firm though her spirit was conflicted.

She was tired of being told what to do, tired of being treated like a child who could not think for herself.

The meeting place was discreet, a quiet lounge at the edge of the city.

Seated in the far corner was Bohemia, his usual confident smile plastered across his face.

He rose slightly when he saw her approach.

“Victoria,” he said warmly, pulling a chair for her. “I was be

  • Chapter 94: A Silent Threat

    Sophia was at her desk, going through the files her team had submitted earlier in the morning. The office was unusually quiet for that hour of the day. Her colleagues had gone out for a presentation, leaving only a handful of staff in the building. She liked it that way, a little silence that allowed her to think clearly. She had barely lifted the cup of coffee beside her when the receptionist walked in, holding a brown envelope.“Someone dropped this for you,” the receptionist said.Sophia looked up, surprised. “Who?”The woman shook her head. “They didn’t leave a name. Just said it was urgent.”Sophia collected it, her heart skipping. Something about the plain look of the package unsettled her. She waited until the woman left before tearing it open. Inside was a single bullet and a folded sheet of paper.Her fingers trembled as she unfolded it. The handwriting was bold and sharp: Stay out, or you are next.For a long moment, Sophia could not breathe. The bullet glistened in her

  • Chapter 93: Pressure on Michael

    The atmosphere in the boardroom of the Ainsley Group was heavy with tension. The long polished table reflected the faces of men and women whose patience had been stretched to the limit. Michael sat at the head of the table, his expression calm but his body showing signs of strain. Beside him, as always, sat Clarissa, her notepad open and her eyes sharp, ready for whatever the session would bring.One after another, board members began to raise their concerns. Richard Steele, one of the younger but most outspoken members, leaned forward. “Mr. Ainsley, the situation surrounding your name continues to drag this company into bad light. Investors are unsettled, the media is restless, and we cannot continue to cover for you. We think it is best you step aside temporarily until your name is cleared.”The air quickly turned thick. And for a moment, everywhere was quiet.Others nodded in agreement. Anderson Cooper - one of the Senior investors who had been silent until now, added his voice.

  • Chapter 92: The Hidden Hand

    Bohemia sat in his private lounge, the room dimly lit with golden lights that made the wine glasses on the table shine. Around him were the men he trusted most—Richard Caldwell, Simon Vance, and Gerald Hunt. They were the circle that stood with him whenever he needed to manipulate the boardroom or stir public opinion.He lifted his glass and smiled. “Gentlemen, we are almost there. Michael’s empire is shaking, his board divided, the public turning against him. Soon, he will have nothing left. My plan is moving even faster than I expected.”Richard Caldwell gave a small smile. “The investors are already seeing him as a liability. The leak about Donovan Industries shook even the strongest of them.”Simon Vance leaned forward with a sly grin. “And with the board constantly pressed, it is only a matter of time before they ask him to step aside for good. You will be standing tall by then, Bohemia.”Gerald Hunt chuckled. “Michael never saw this coming. He thought his power was permanent. B

  • Chapter 91: A Sister at the Crossroads

    Victoria arrived at Sophia’s place with a look that showed she wasn’t in the mood for another round of persuasion. Sophia wasted no time. She pulled out the brown envelope that contained the documents she had kept hidden and placed them gently on the table.“Victoria, please,” Sophia said softly, her voice breaking. “You need to see this. These are proofs of who Bohemia really is, the kind of things he has been doing.”Victoria folded her arms, refusing to even glance at the envelope. “Sophia, stop it. I know exactly what this is. You and Michael are working together, you both want to destroy Bohemia because you cannot stand to see me happy. You think I do not know?”Her words pierced Sophia’s chest. “Victoria, I am not trying to ruin your life. I am trying to save it.”Victoria turned sharply toward the door. “I am tired of this. If you cannot respect my choices, then let me go. Do not call me again.”Sophia’s body trembled as she clutched her chest, her voice rising with sudden des

  • Chapter 90: The Fire at Donovan Industries

    Sophia stormed into Michael’s office, her chest rising and falling fast. Her face was pale with anger, her eyes flashing. Michael was at his desk, going through some files when she pushed the door open. He looked up slowly, his expression calm, almost too calm for the tension in the room.“Michael,” she began sharply, “I need answers. Right now.”He leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest. “About what?” he asked, though he already knew.Sophia slammed her palms on his desk, her voice trembling. “The news everywhere. They are saying you laundered money through my father’s company. Donovan Industries. Is it true?”Michael’s jaw tightened. His gaze darkened as he straightened. “Your father’s company?” he repeated, his tone low. “Do we always have to remind the owner of that company now?"Michael had decided to retain the company name as his undiluted respect and honor to his late master - Henry Donovan."Don't make the mistake of throwing that respect back in my fac

  • Chapter 89: The Warning to Victoria

    Victoria was in the lounge, her legs stretched across the long sofa, flipping through a glossy magazine she barely paid attention to. The quietness of the mansion felt heavy. She had been restless since morning, pacing sometimes, other times sitting still, lost in her thoughts. It was then she heard the knock at the door.She frowned. No one was expected. Standing, she moved carefully to the door and pulled it open. To her surprise, it was Inspector Daniel Morgan. He was dressed in plain clothes, but his sharp eyes and firm posture gave him away immediately. His presence filled the doorway with authority.“Miss Victoria,” he greeted calmly, his voice steady. “I need a word with you. Privately.”Her heart raced but she kept her face straight. “What do you want?” she asked, trying to sound confident.Morgan glanced around the compound before lowering his voice. “It will not take long, but it is important. May I come in?”She hesitated. Letting the police into her space felt wrong, e
