Chapter 152: Secrets and Consequences
The revelation Evelyn shared with Gregory weighed heavily on his mind as the days passed. The secret she had uncovered about Richard’s past was dangerous, a hidden chapter of his life that, if exposed, would ruin him completely. It was the kind of information that could bring down empires, destroy reputations, and shatter everything Richard had worked so hard to build.Gregory knew he had to be careful. The moment he made a move with this secret, there would be no going back. He couldn’t afford to act in haste, to be reckless. Every decision from here on out would be crucial. The pieces on the chessboard had been set, and the game had only just begun.He spent the next few days keeping his distance from Richard, focusing instead on building alliances with those within the company who were starting to question the old patriarch’s leadership. With Evelyn’s help, Gregory had been able to gain the trust of several key individuals who had begun to see the cracks in Richard’s empire. It was
Chapter 151: The Web Tightens
The days that followed felt like a blur. Gregory played the role of the dutiful housekeeper, ever-present but never noticed, always in the background, always invisible. But the mask he had begun wearing felt less like a performance and more like a second skin. He was becoming the man he was pretending to be, and with each passing hour, the weight of that transformation bore down on him.Evelyn’s guidance had proven invaluable. Her sharp insights into Richard’s behavior were a lifeline, but Gregory had also learned to trust his own instincts. He had spent years in the shadows, observing, listening, learning the subtleties of people’s words and actions. Now, those skills were becoming his greatest weapon.Richard, ever the arrogant patriarch, still didn’t know what to make of Gregory’s sudden interest in the company. But that only made him more dangerous. The rich man was intrigued by the shift in dynamic, but he was also suspicious, always measuring his every interaction with Gregory.
Chapter 150: The Depths of Deception
Gregory’s mind buzzed with the weight of the decision he had made. As the days passed, he plunged deeper into the chaotic web of power that his uncle had built. Each step felt like stepping further into an abyss, a place where one misstep could cost him everything. But there was no turning back now.The first task was to meet with Marcus’s trusted ally, Evelyn—a woman with the kind of sharp intellect that could uncover hidden truths with just a few words. She had worked for Marcus for years, and now, it seemed, she was becoming Gregory’s lifeline.“Don’t worry about being nervous,” Evelyn told him, her voice smooth as they sat in a small, dimly lit café in the heart of the city. “Everyone in this world is, at first. But the more you learn, the more you’ll see through the lies.”Gregory tried to calm his nerves as he listened to her, but his heart still raced. He had spent his entire life serving in silence, never questioning, never daring to ask for more. Now, he was expected to not o
Chapter 149: A Bitter Choice
The weight of Marcus’s revelation pressed heavily on Gregory’s chest, a suffocating force that made every breath feel like a struggle. He staggered back, his mind reeling as he tried to process what he had just heard.His whole life had been a lie. He wasn’t just a lowly housekeeper—he was the heir to a vast empire, a man who was meant to take control of the very company he had served for years. And the man he had called his employer, the one who had treated him with disdain, was his uncle, a man who had hidden the truth from him for decades.Clara, still standing by the window, couldn’t keep the shock from her face. She had known there was more to Gregory’s past than he realized, but even she hadn’t expected this twist. Her mind raced as she tried to make sense of the tangled web that Marcus had just uncovered.Gregory closed his eyes, shaking his head in disbelief. “I don’t know what to believe anymore. I’m supposed to be… supposed to be the heir?” His voice cracked as the enormity
Chapter 148: The Unseen Hand
The days that followed Gregory’s recovery passed in a blur of restless nights and tense silences. Clara stayed by his side, watching over him like a hawk, yet her own unease was evident.Every time Marcus’s name came up, she grew more distant, her thoughts drifting as if she were piecing together a puzzle only she could see.Gregory, however, was determined to uncover the truth about Marcus, about Richard, and about the legacy he was suddenly tied to. He couldn’t afford to wait any longer. The papers, the company, and the mysterious past of the man who had saved him, everything was entangled, and Gregory needed to untangle it before it consumed him.One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the safe house, Marcus arrived unannounced. His tall frame filled the doorway, his cold eyes scanning the room before settling on Gregory.“I hope you’re feeling better,” Marcus said, his voice as calm as ever. But there was something behind his words, something
Chapter 147: The Price of Secrets
Gregory woke to a world that smelled of antiseptic and sterile surfaces. The dull hum of machines was the only sound that filled the silence, their steady beeping a reminder that he was still alive—barely.His body felt heavy, as if gravity had doubled since he last remembered it.The pain in his side had dulled to a throb, but it was still there, persistent. He tried to move, but his limbs refused to cooperate, each muscle aching as if it had been torn from him.His mind swirled with fragmented memories: Richard’s men, the gunshot, Clara’s voice…and the stranger, the man who had appeared out of nowhere. The man who had saved him.Where was he now?The faint sound of footsteps approaching broke through the fog in his mind, and he turned his head, fighting against the sluggishness that weighed him down.The door opened slowly, and Clara stepped into the room, her face drawn with worry, but relief softened her features when she saw him awake.“Gregory… you’re awake.”Her voice was bare
