Amelia's POV.The courtroom was so quiet, obviously it was meant to be quiet. That is why it is called a courtroom.Jayden had been called to the witness box, and now he was standing on him while staring at Lawson so dangerously. If looks could kill, then Lawson would be dead by now."What happened to your mother, Mr. Jayden? Under the hands of your father, Lawson Clark?" the prosecutor attorney asked, repeating the same question.Jayden chuckled and I knew it was coming from a wound that never healed."My mother spent years afraid of him. I was still a little boy of 13 years old but I could understand what my mother was going through, every day she woke up scared and she wondered what punishment would come next." Jayden said as Lawson sighed out loudly.There was no remorse in him and it even so disgusting for me to think that he would feel disgusted."So go ahead and sigh out loudly, you can even roll your eyes at me, if that is what you want" he said coldly. "You always did that wh

Amelia's POV.I never thought I would see this day. Lawson always beloved so much in himself, that he couldn't be brought down by anyone. He was the superior and no one else was.No matter what he did, no matter who he hurt, he always found a way to walk away with clean records and nothing attached to his name.But this time around, it was different because things were not playing in my favour. I was in control of the game and entire plot, I was going to end it based on my own demands.Lawson got arrested yesterday. It was already morning today, Jayden had made sure to be extremely fast with Lawson's sentence to prison. I was seated inside the courtroom with Jayden beside me. I looked up and I saw fear in Lawson's eyes, that was something I had never seen before.I was too stunned to speak, and at the same time I was enjoying every bit of it.Lawson stood at the defense box wearing an expensive suit that couldn't hide the panic in his eyes. He was literally wearing the same outfit he

Lawson's POV.The moment I saw the police vehicles outside my gate, I knew it was game over for me.My hands tightened around the suitcase beside me. This wasn't supposed to happen, especially not in this way. I had money, power, and connections.People like me weren't supposed to end up like this. My lawyer had promised me we still had options.My breathing was becoming difficult for me to even control. I looked towards the back entrance, maybe I could leave from there and just get out before they came inside.But before I was even done thinking of my next escape plan. The front door to my mansion was pushed open forcibly.It was the police. Then several officers stormed inside. As the officer pointed directly at me."Mr Lawson Clark! You are under arrest.”"I want my lawyer. I am not leaving here, neither am I letting you arrest me without having to speak to my lawyer first"You can call your lawyer after your arrest.""This is insane.”"You are under investigation for multiple crim

Jayden's POV.My phone would not stop ringing. After Amelia left the office, I went back to watching the videos and I could see that it had already crossed the millions of views.I also went live on another broadcast telling the world how Lawson had abused Amelia. I wanted every single person to finally see who he really was and he was not that charming businessman or the respected public figure.He wasn't even the grieving husband he pretended to be because I was aware of the fact he went around telling people that his son betrayed him by taking away his wife from him.He was a monster. He was the man who destroyed lives and he was happy while doing it.My office door busted open. I looked up to see Alex walking in and holding his phone in the other hand. I was literally very surprised to see him because there was a day when I woke up and he informed me he was leaving the country because he needed to attend to something else in a different country and now he was back without even inf

Amelia's POV.“What are you doing here, baby? At least you would have informed me you were coming.” Jayden said, making me roll my eyes at him.“Why do I have to inform you when I can easily pay you a suprise visit in your office?” I replied, stepping closer to him as I wrapped my hands around his neck.“I'm so happy to see you. Thank you for coming baby.” he said, wrapping his hands around my waist.“I thought that some few minutes ago you were questioning me. All of a sudden you are happy to see me? It's giving indecisive baby.” I teased.“I'm sorry my love. Forgive your silly boyfriend.” Jayden teased back, holding his left ear and I bursted out laughing. I pinched his cheek lightly. Then I heard someone clear his throat as I turned to see who the person is.“Ohhhh. It's you Cole, I didn't even notice you.”“You are not supposed to notice me, Amelia. You are so in love with your man, I barely exist to you.” Cole said in sarcasm. I nodded my head at him whilst smiling.“I can see so

Jayden's POV.I stared at the file on my laptop for a long time. Amelia and I just returned from Derrick's house and I am back to business.One click and that was all it would take for Lawson's entire world to come crashing down.For years, I had waited for this moment. I had carried the weight of my mother's death inside my chest like a wound that never healed. I looked at the photograph sitting beside my laptop.My mom was smiling in it. She was always smiling even when life was hard and she got tired of things. Even when she was always hurting inside of her, she would still smile.I picked up the frame and ran my thumb across the glass."I finally got him, Mom. I finally got the truth." I muttered to myself, then the office door opened quietly. Cole walked inside.He took one look at me and immediately understood."It's time?" he asked. I nodded my head at him."Yes it's time." I replied as he sat across from me."Are you sure about this?" he asked."After everything he did, you ar

Elena’s POVI was on the couch, my legs tucked under me, a book open in my lap that I hadn’t actually been reading. My mind was still back at the office, still running through access logs and transfer patterns and three hundred and twelve names attached to empty pension accounts.Then the air changed.I looked up to find Jonathan standing in the middle of my living room.He still had his full work suit on, jacket and all, but his expression was different from the closed, controlled face he’d been wearing all week. He looked a little worn out and tired.He crossed the room before I could speak.His hand came up to tilt my chin, and then his mouth was on mine.The kiss was slow and certain, like he wanted to taste all of me. He was literally drinking me at this point. Sucking my tongue as Saliva dripped from the corner of my lips. His other hand came up and he began pulling at the knot of his necktie, loosening it without breaking the kiss.I felt myself responding automatically, my bo

Elena’s POVI didn’t need to worry about keeping my distance from Jonathan in the days that followed.He didn’t reach out. Neither did I.A week passed in near silence. No calls, no messages, it was absolutely quiet. When the company finally sent word that employees could return, I sat with my laptop open for a long time before I did anything else.I opened a new document.Dear Mr. Hart,Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from the position of Personal Manager, effective…I stopped typing then looked at the screen.The cursor blinked at me patiently.Maybe it was time. Maybe walking away from Hart Global, from Jonathan, from Daniel, from all of it, was the only move left that made any sense. There was nothing left to execute. Nothing left to protect.Just this hollow, aching thing in my chest that got heavier every morning.I saved the draft without finishing it.I’d decide later. The office felt different when I walked in. It was like something else happened

Elena’s POVI stood in front of my mirror and barely recognized myself.The dress was deep navy, fitted at the waist and falling just above the knee. Simple but very beautiful and flattering. My hair was down, styled properly for the first time in what felt like weeks, and I’d taken actual time with my makeup instead of the rushed five-minute routine I’d been doing lately.I looked like I had my life together. The irony was not lost on me.I grabbed my clutch and headed out.Ryan was waiting outside, leaning against his car with his hands in his pockets. He looked up when he heard my heels on the pavement, and his expression stopped me mid-step.His eyes went wide.“You are more beautiful than lilies in the mountains,” he said quietly.It was such an unexpected thing to say…not a line, not smooth, just honest…that heat flooded my cheeks before I could stop it.“Thank you,” I said, taking his offered hand as he opened the car door.He smiled and closed it behind me.-----We didn’t tal

Daniel’s POVThe cigarette lasted until the parking garage.I sat in my car for a long time after that, staring at the concrete wall in front of me, the engine off, the smoke curling toward the ceiling until it disappeared.Then I started the engine and drove. My apartment was exactly as I’d left it. My apartment reeked of luxury and sex, that was exactly how I liked it.I dropped my jacket on the floor the moment I walked in. But tonight I was more than angry. I kicked the coffee table and it skidded sideways, catching the edge of the rug, and a glass that had been sitting on it shattered against the marble floor.I kicked the nearest chair, sending it into the wall.Who does she think she is?Two years ago, Elena Rivers had fallen apart. After our engagement fell apart, I knew she loved me enough to crawl back and beg. But she didn’t. She didn’t come back and it fucking irritated me. When she loved me, she was far too trusting for her own good. And too emotional. I’d done her a fa

Elena’s POVI heard it from two floors away.A scream. Sharp and sudden, cutting through the afternoon quiet of the building like something had torn.I was out of my chair before I’d consciously decided to move.The hallway was already filled with people, everyone moving toward the main operations floor, the tension was high in the end. No one knows what’s happening but knows it’s bad. I pushed through, Ryan appearing beside me from nowhere.“What was that?” he asked.“I don’t know.”We got to the operations floor and stopped.Every screen in the room was doing it.All of them. Every monitor, every workstation, every wall display…all showing the same thing.A symbol.It was geometric and wrong in a way that was hard to articulate. Dark, angular lines forming a shape that almost looked like something familiar but wasn’t quite. Like someone had taken a recognizable symbol and corrupted it deliberately, twisted it just enough to make it disturbing.And it was spreading.As we watched, a

Elena’s POVI dropped into my chair and pulled my keyboard toward me.“Insufferable, manipulative, overgrown child,” I muttered under my breath, thinking of Daniel. “Walking around here like he owns the place, asking his little loaded questions with that stupid smile…”I typed in my password aggressively.“…and that face. That smug, irritating, I-know-something-you-don’t face that I wanted to…”My screen loaded, and I stopped.Something was wrong.The dashboard looked different. Files that should have been organized neatly were scattered across the interface, their icons overlapping in ways that made no sense. A small window appeared in the corner of my screen, blinking steadily.I leaned forward, squinting.System breach detected. Unauthorized access. File corruption in progress.“What?” I whispered.I clicked on it immediately, trying to open the security log to see what was happening. But the window disappeared, and then my screen flickered. Once. Twice.Then half my files vanished.
