Cordelia was not the kind of woman who liked waiting for other people to do what she could help accomplish herself.By the following morning, she had already called her father.“Dad, I need a favor.”Garrett's voice came through the phone, warm but cautious. “That depends. Are you asking me as my daughter or as a woman who is about to get me into trouble?”He supported the nepotism tag. She spewed. “Both.”He sighed. “Cordelia.”“Dad, you haven't even heard what I want.”“I know you. Aren't you my daughter again?”She rolled her eyes, though he couldn't see her.“Orion has been causing trouble for Caspian. Now, just when we are ready to take him to court, we hear there may be an ambush. I don't know who's behind it, but I'm tired of watching that man walk around like no one can deal with him.”“And what exactly do you expect me to do?” Garrett frowned. “Find a lawful way to make him face the consequences of his actions. Graycie is involved in this mess too. She shouldn't be allowed

Prior to his past. What happened to his parents. The very reason he'd been mandated to do this. The type of disciplinarian his grandpa was. Merely receiving this request from his granddad, he knew what it was about. When his dad took control over Titan and within one year lavished the resources that the group of hospitals was close to bankruptcy, he knew his chances of inheriting this billion-dollar asset would be tough. He was a young boy then, but he just knew. His grandfather, Sir. Titan was a no-nonsense man. Never joked with his companies and was ready to cut off family to uphold his companies. And that's exactly what he did, cutting off his dad and mom. As if the exile wasn't enough, they ganged up to vote his grandfather out of the company so they could inherit fast and continue with their luxury lifestyle but Sir. Titan disowned his son. His wife, who was his mom seeing things turn up unexpectedly, divorced his dad a few months later, upon him being unable to keep up w

“I mean that my relationship with Cordelia and my responsibility toward Jett are two different things.”“What does that mean?” Caspian claimed, “I'm not trying to insult her.”“Then stop talking as though she's a temporary part of your life!” Garrett warned. The words struck the room like a slap.Cordelia rose quickly.“Dad, calm down.”“No, Cordelia. I want to hear him explain himself. He comes into my office, tells me he is involved with my daughter, admits that he doesn't know where the relationship is going, and then casually says he will take the child even if they break up. What am I supposed to think?”“Then I'm going to speak my mind, straight and without a filter.” Caspian stood up, grabbing the edges of the desk. They both waited for this.Weird!“You can think whatever you want, Mr. Newman, but I won't promise Cordelia a future simply because I'm afraid of upsetting you.”Garrett's face darkened.“Watch your tone, young man.”Caspian held his ground. “I'm being honest.”

Garrett's eyes narrowed a little. “Close friends?” He asked, leaning towards them. Neither of them spoke right away. Cordelia parted her lips and closed it, then looked at Caspian. He was watching her with a calm expression that did not match the uncertainty she felt inside. She could almost hear him weighing every possible answer, guessing how much of their private life he should reveal.“Hmm,” she sighed her face down as she wasn't willing to say more than he wanted. “Dad, we're adults,” she said at last. “We don't have to put a label on everything immediately.” She lastly said. The most appropriate response she could think of. “That wasn't what I asked.” Garrett insisted. “I know.”“Then answer me.”Caspian shifted in his seat. “Mr. Newman, Cordelia and I have been spending time together. We care about each other, and we're seeing where things go.”It was a formal answer. With a formal face and a formal tone. Garrett studied him, searching his face for something he could not

Caspian had barely finished reading the last message on his phone when Jason knocked on the study door.“Sir, the car is ready.”Caspian locked his phone and slipped it into his pocket. He adjusted the cuff of his shirt, then glanced at the clock on the wall. They had less than twenty minutes to reach Garrett Newman's office, and he had no intention of arriving late.Meeting his crush’s father for the first time, he had to leave a good impression. “Is Cordelia downstairs?”“Yes, sir. She has been waiting for you.”Caspian picked up the folder on his desk and stood. His arm hurt a little from too much typing, checking out CMG updates and Titan. So it gave him a little trouble, but he had grown used to working around the pain. Besides, the discomfort was nothing compared to the questions running through his mind.Garrett was not just Cordelia's father. He was the Chief Prosecutor of the State, a man with enough authority to influence the case against Graycie and Orion. He was also on

When he finally lowered his phone, the office was quiet except for the low hum of his computer."Then who the hell is buying them?" he wondered.He shrugged. “I'm not resting on this matter. I must find out who's buying all of these shares.” It was a vow. Orion pushed back from the desk and stood up. He walked to the window, looked outside just to ease himself before walking back. He opened his laptop and switched it on. He checked the trading records again, searching for a pattern he might have missed. Maybe one thing would lead to the other. The purchases were spread across different accounts, making it difficult to connect them to a single person. Most of the people who earlier bought the shares had later transferred to this person who sought to keep his identity anonymous. The very suspicious thing. Whoever had arranged them had taken care not to leave an obvious trail.This alone troubled him more than the falling stock price.It meant the buyer wasn't acting carelessly. H
