“Somebody get them! Get those…”Richard jerked out of his shock and barked the order.Before his guards could even get a car ready, the black van was long gone.“What did he do now?” Hector Ronn muttered as he moved closer.Cameron Stuart gave the older man a look. “Really? I thought you’d known this man for years.”Hector shook his cane at him. “Boy toy, don’t talk to me like…”“I am out of here.” Cameron waved him off and turned to Stephen Eyre. “I need to leave this city and get home to my wife. You are never calling me back here, are you?”

“Hector, you are testing me!” Richard bellowed.“And what will you do?!” The old man shouted, though he couldn't jerk to his feet just as fast. “Time was when I was ecstatic to own 10% of a group like this. That time is long gone. You ran it to the ground. You and your stupid son. And the son you neglect is doing well outside. Fool!” Hector spat.“You…”Hector turned to Stephen Eyre. “Are we done here? I am done talking to this blockhead. He never listens anyway. Thinks money makes him better than the rest.”“Yes, we can round up now. The vote already determined the outcome. Chairman… I mean, Mister Cross, you need to step down from now on. Until my boss appoints who will stand in his place&h

“Will someone explain what is going on here to me?”Someone shifted in their seat.Richard stopped right at the head of the table.The tawny-eyed man merely looked at Richard like he was expecting an invitation.“Whoever you are, you are in the wrong seat.”“Oh, my bad. I am sorry.”The man calmly got out of the seat and took the empty one to the right.Richard stared at him, unsure of whether he had been expecting a confrontation.Another unknown man was there too.They were both dressed in black suits, but t

Richard's mind departed the station before he was fully out of it.“What the hell is going on?” he muttered as the driver held the door open for him.“Sir?” the latter asked in confusion.“Drive!”Adrian's warning filtered into his mind again.Though the time was not up yet, he couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in his heart.He dialled Adrian's number.The call rang until it disconnected.No response.“This insolent…” He dialled the number again. “I don't have time for this,” he gritted as the call started ringing again.“Oh? Why bother to call then?” Adrian's cold tone came through the phone.Richard looked at the phone, chagrined that he had not noticed the call was already picked up.“She did not do it,” he said tersely. “I don't know why you keep going against your mother like this, but…”“This is why you called? Really?”Richard huffed at the interruption. Still, he swallowed it and continued, “Of course. You brought me all this way, didn't you?”“And you took your sweet time, di

She stared at Richard for a beat.Then she hurriedly said, “He…he mentioned it. He said it here, so I thought you knew. He said I poisoned her at the engagement party.” More tears sprang to her eyes as she smacked the table. “How could I have done that?”“The same way you attacked Dahlia? You know, the reason you're here in the first place?”Her eyes widened as her lips shook. “Honey, how…how can you say that to me? Look at me. Chained like an animal. If I really did it, I would have talked instead of getting tortured here. You know me. I don't have a tolerance for pain like this. I can't even stand you staying angry with me for a day, and you think I'll deliberately want this? I am chained. Robbed of my freedom. Deprived of seeing you come home every day. Woul

“I don't have time for this!” Richard Cross snapped as soon as they brought Patricia in.“Then why are you here? You could leave me here to rot, but come running when that bastard threatens you.” Patricia fumed inwardly.Outwardly, she gave him a wan smile as she walked gingerly to the seat.“Honey,” she said in a trembling tone, sighing loudly.“What is wrong with you?” Richard finally looked at her properly. “Why are you cuffed?”Her shoulders sagged forlornly as she said, “They've been treating me awfully here. Adrian…” She coughed. “Your son made sure of it. They won't even take me to the hospital when I am ill.”
