Nicolas accepted the harsh reality that people are not to be trusted .Nicolas held back his tears; he won't give them the satisfaction of seeing his tears . He promised himself not to cry in front of them .“I can spare you on one condition “ Came Clinton voice amidst the crowd . Spare him ? The only crime Nicolas committed was loving Clara and even touching her hands . He just couldn’t understand what Clinton meant by giving him a condition before forgiving him .“That’s so nice of you Clinton darling “ Clara voice out while smiling sweetly at Clinton . Those smiles are like stabbing a sharp knife through Nicolas' heart.“I will forgive you if you strip yourself of your clothes leaving your underwear only and beg for forgiveness while kissing the floor repeatedly . Who knows I might forgive you “Those words came as a shock to Nicolas . He swore in his mind that one day he will make all of the money . Their name is now on the list of those who he will get revenge from .“ I rather die than to beg you for anything “ Nicolas said“Oh don’t be stubborn you loser . Clinton is being considerate . Just do it . “ Clara said .Nicolas stared at Clara. She is now unrecognizable. He can’t believe she was able to fool him for two years .“How can you even say that Clara ? Don’t you have a heart ?” Nicolas asked her pain evident in his voice .“Clara has been my woman for the past two years . How dare you touch my woman . And yes Clara and I have been having an affair for the past two years . Now do what you asked you to do . I might be compassionate to you with a sum of fifty thousand dollars . A poor person like you shouldn’t refuse such an offer ““I prefer to die than heed to your request “ Nicolas said .Hearing this Clinton ordered his bodyguards to give Nicolas a good beating as he exited the apartment with Clara and her possessions. The crowd parted the way allowing an exit for them . One by one the crowd departed leaving a wounded Nicolas on the floor of the apartment.

The amber liquid swirled slowly, a metaphor for the turmoil that raged within him. Clara's face haunted his thoughts, her eyes burning with anger and betrayal when she stormed out of his office earlier that day. He could still hear her voice, trembling with fury, demanding answers he couldn’t give her—not because he didn't have them, but because admitting the truth to her would only deepen the wound he already carried.Clara had been the love of his life.

Chapter Thirty-Two: A Confrontation UnveiledClara paced the length of her lavish bedroom, her heart pounding in her chest. Clinton's outburst still echoed in her ears, and she couldn't shake the image of his once-commanding presence now reduced to a man overwhelmed by fear and failure. The humiliation of seeing him so vulnerable had sparked something inside her—a mix of anger, frustration, and deep-seated resentment. Clinton had once been the epitome of power and control, the man who had swept her off her feet with promises of wealth and security. Now, that image was crumbling before her eyes, and all she could think about was the man she had left behind.Matthew.The name itself brought a bitter taste to her mouth. She had left him because he was poor, because she wanted more than what he could offer. And now, he was the one responsible for Clinton's downfall.

Instead, it was Clinton who now lay weakened, physically scarred and mentally battered, with the realization that his once unassailable power was no more.The television in the corner of the room droned on, news reports cycling through the latest updates on the corporate world—a world Clinton had once dominated. His name was still mentioned, but not with the reverence or fear it once commanded. Instead, there were whispers of decline, of a man no longer at the height of his power. The fire had been the final straw, but the truth had been slowly revealing itself over the past weeks. Clinton's empire, once so vast and unyielding, was crumbling from the inside.It had started with the businesses. Clinton's meticulousl

The hospital room was dim, the blinds drawn to shield his sensitive eyes from the harsh light of day. Machines beeped steadily beside him, monitoring his vitals, a constant reminder of his fragility.But Clinton’s mind was anything but fragile. As he stared at the ceiling, his thoughts were consumed by a single name: Matthew. The man he had once humiliated, imprisoned, and taken everything from had returned with a vengeance.
