Chapter 179: The happy ending “What? “How dare you?!” Maria panicked at first when Asher said what he said, but she quickly covered it up. “ Vincenzo, did you just hear what he said?”“Gaius Come in” Asher said and Maria's knees suddenly went weak. She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s

Chapter 178“Hey let go of me!”. Finn yelled loudly at the prison guards as he was dragged into the toture room. “Do you want to die? Do you know who you are laying your hands on? let me go. Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on? I have been here for weeks now. What am I still here?”“Shut u

Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with

Chapter 176The heavy screwdriver fell off her hands and landed on Sofia's right leg.“Ow!”, She cried in pain. She held herself from cursing out, hopping away a little, from the control board.She had tried to pull off the metal cover of the control board for the door. But there were no screws on it. Then, she tried to break the cover. And that landed her in the situation she was presently in. Sofia banged on the door.“Help!!”But she knew her efforts were effortless. There was none other in the building than her and Asher - and the intruder she recognised so much but couldn't place a finger on where she'd seen him.Sofia wanted to feel exhausted but the anxiety that controlled her was great. She'd spent at least fifteen minutes trying to get out of the room and that was more than enough time for her boss to have been reached and attacked by the intruder - probably even dead.“No”, she gasped. She had to think fast. She had to get out now.“Think Sofia. Think”, she said to herself,

Chapter 175Sofia relaxed a little when she heard footsteps on the staircase. She knew she was usually tense when they were in the same space but her anxiety seemed to heighten by the minute. It was unusual and she couldn't put a finger to it. She had tried to concentrate on work but she had only progressed in eating all the biscuits and cookies on the plate. She had poured the remaining contents of the bottled water into her mouth. Tossing the empty bottle into the bin underneath her desk, she had placed her fingers on her forehead and did a quick massage. Still, she felt stressed and just looking at the screen made her feel even more stressed.She took off her glasses and lay back on the chair. The footsteps felt closer now. She opened her eyes. No footstep heard. Maybe she really needed that sleep.She closed her system. Then she heard the footsteps again. Curious, she got up from where she was sitting and moved towards the door.For some reason, she was stealth about it. She look

Chapter 174The security cameras picked Finn's car as it sped past Asher's residential building. Finn's car was captured by the vigilant security cameras as it zipped past Asher's residential building, leaving a trail of speed in its wake. The driver and bodyguard in the car that had brought Elena noticed the car and watched it zoom off, bearing witness to the fleeting scene.The bodyguard put a phone call through to Mr. Salvatore.“Boss”“Speak to me Spider”“Intruder alert”“Intruder alert?”“Yes Boss. Some car just sped past us. There is no other residential building in this place and I can still see the car parked, though it's far away from the gate.”“Well, who's in it?”“We don't know yet Boss.”“Find out Spider and don't let them ruin this plan. È tutto chiaro? (Is that clear)”“Sì Capo (Yes Boss)”The call ended. Paolo moved towards where Raphael was. “They say there's an intruder, Raphael”“Oh really”, Raphael replied, his eyes fixed on the screen.“Put the security camera'

Chapter 250(Two days later)Elder Jackson decided to send a letter to every member of the family, informing them of the long-awaited family dinner. The message reads;This is to cordially invite every one of you to the long-awaited family dinner. It comes up this night by eight, you are all to be there on time, none of you is expected to come late. Audrey, no excuse."They all burst into laughter when they got the message because Elder Jackson mentioned Audrey's name. Audrey laughed so hard when she read the message, but at the same time, she also had a bad feeling about tonight's dinner.Immediately she sent a text message to Adrian, which reads;"I don't feel good about tonight's meeting, I feel something bad might happen, but we also need to be careful, everyone needs to be watchful. We shouldn't get carried away by the activities."Immediately Adrian got the text, he replied to her, by thanking her first, and asking that she send the message to the group. She did so immediately a

Chapter 249Adrian walked towards her, and she took off her headset, "What brings you to my house, are you here to disgrace me once more?"Adrian chuckled, with his hands in his pocket, "What do you mean by am I here to disgrace you once more? Aren't you the one who went all out to disgrace yourself? You know I don't like you, you want me to get married to you, how do you expect it to work?""That doesn't answer my question of you being here, why are you here young man?" She asked, walking towards him, as she put on a harsh look. "Well, I am here to inform you not to try anything stupid again, don't you dare send anyone to me.I repeat don't you dare do that, listen Hailey, I might look and act cool, but if you push me to the wall, you are definitely going to regret it, do you understand?"She chuckled, clapping her hands, "I see, you have the guts to step into my home, and threaten me? Well I don't blame you, I blame the guys who weren't able to do their job.If they had done their j

Chapter 248Hailey Wilson was seated in a bar, and Craig was seated beside her, she slid an envelope towards him, "Listen up, that plan is simple, there you are going to find every detail that you need, and your money is right there in the envelope.All that's needed is for you to do the right thing, and I believe you know what I am speaking of?"Craig shook his head, "How do you expect me to know about it, I don't read minds," he muttered."Ohh I forgot about that, but there's no problem with that, this is what I want from you, and please listen attentively," she paused and moved closer to him, while he did the same."I need you to kill the target, that's it, I am not saying bet him up to death, I am not saying you should do that. I need him dead, real dead, that's all I am asking from you, can you do this for me?" She asked.Craig raised his head, and looked at her, "I am sorry I can't, I have stopped the business of killing people. The best I can do right now is to threaten people

Chapter 247Liam exhaled, as he placed his hands on the table, "I want to know how you were able to join Adrian. I mean we all know you weren't on good terms with him, what changed?"She smiled, "Thank goodness you said, I wasn't on good terms with him, that was in the past. But right now, I think I just decided to re-evaluate my decision, and do what's right, that's it.""Re-evaluate your decision, and do what's right?" Liam muttered.She nodded her head, "You know, I was always jealous of Adrian, you know what I mean right? The dude had everything I wanted, he was closer to Elder Jackson than we all. I don't need to tell you what that means automatically right?"Liam nodded his head, "I understand what that means, he that's closer to Elder Jackson has more chance of being chosen as the heir. But if I am not mistaken, there were times you attempted to take his life right?"She nodded her head, still gazing into his eyes as they spoke, "Yeah, there were times when such an incident hap

Chapter 246Hailey, and her father were still bitter from what happened yesterday, in that bitter state of his. He walked to his garage, got into one of his cars, and drove off to Grayson's office. He was going there to give them a piece of his mind.Not only that, his mind was made up, he was going to terminate every contract he has with the Grayson cooperation. He just couldn't believe what Adrian did to him, after walking out on him, the respect people had for him, dropped automatically.It made him wonder what type of influence Adrian has been able to wield over the years. It's just so surprising to him that he has been able to build himself deep, rooted into the hearts of many people, including his staff.Just because of what happened, about five percent of his staff resigned. It was freaking hard for him to believe, but it was reality. He drove to the garage, and came down from the car in rage. Everyone who saw him, definitely knew he was angry, and they had to give way for him.

Chapter 245"I am in, how can I not be part of a team that works, you saved my life. The best I can do is to repay you guys for everything you have done for me," Liam replied."Really, that means you are officially joining our team right, big bro?" Audrey asked and he nodded his head."That's great, but what we have to do right now is to make sure that you are safe, and you also play the role of Aaron. To me that's the best way to guarantee your freedom, if you ask me," Adrian muttered."I don't doubt that's the best way, but all finger's crossed, he's going to be fine, and we are going to do our best to make sure that he's fine," Aaron replied.They all hugged each other, before returning to their different room.(Present)"I think we have waited for so long, the best we can do right now is to look for ways and means to bring him down. Don't you think, we have given him much space to rest," Liam asked, folding his arms on his chest as he sat up.Aaron nodded his head, "That's the sam

Chapter 27 Mr. Parker, once the king of his domain, now sits in a prison cell, his throne taken from him, his power and influence nothing but a distant memory. The judge's gavel comes down like the judgment of God, the sentence echoing through the courtroom with a deafening finality. "Adam Parker, for the crimes of human trafficking, racketeering, and fraud, I sentence you to life in prison without the possibility of parole. May God have mercy on your soul." The cuffs are slapped onto Mr. Parker's wrists, his world now reduced to the cold, gray bars of his cell.As Mr. Parker is dragged away, Madison watches on in silent fury, her eyes burning with rage. She is the last of the Parkers standing, a queen without a kingdom, her family's legacy in tatters. But she is not defeated, not yet. In the days that follow, she begins to hatch a plan, a final act of desperation that will either secure her freedom or seal her fate. She enlists the help of a fellow inmate, a hardened criminal w

Chapter 26It was finally the day of the meeting, Ethan couldn’t believe that he was about to own the Parker’s cosmetics company.Ethan entered the meeting with Mr. Parker with a cool, confident air, his hands in his pockets, a smirk on his face. He was sure that he had the upper hand, his evidence of human trafficking ironclad and irrefutable. But Mr. Parker was not impressed. He leaned back in his chair, a cold smile on his face."Ethan, I'm afraid you're wasting your time," he said, a dismissive wave of his hand."You think a little bit of evidence is going to bring me down? Please.”Ethan's face hardened, his hands curling into fists. "You think I'm joking, Mr. Parker?" he said, his voice like ice."I know what you're doing. I know what you've done. And if you don't sell your company, I'll make sure the whole world knows too." Mr. Parker laughed, a cruel, heartless laugh."Ethan, you think you're the only one without skeletons in your closet? You think your past is squeaky clea

Chapter 25"You're right," Alex said, his voice low and measured. "Ethan won't know what hit him. But I need to know more. I need to know that this will work."Madison smiled, her eyes flashing with excitement."I can assure you, Alex, that this will work. But I need your complete loyalty. No wavering, no second thoughts. Are you with me?"Alex hesitated, his thoughts racing. He knew that aligning himself with Madison could be the most dangerous move of his life, but he also knew that he needed her help to bring down the Parker family."Alright," Alex said, his voice betraying a hint of hesitation."I'm with you." Madison smiled, her eyes gleaming with victory."Excellent," she purred. "Now, here's what we need to do..."And so began a plan so twisted and intricate that even the most hardened of criminals would have hesitated to undertake it. But for Madison and Alex, the stakes were too high, the potential rewards too great to ignore. They set to work, their web of deceit and betra

Chapter 24 She offered him a lucrative job as a consultant for her father's company. Alex knew she was up to no good but he couldn't resist the opportunity to flex his skills and make some extra cash. He agreed to work for Madison, but he kept his guard up, wary of her true intentions. And as they began to work together, he couldn't help but be drawn in by her charm and intelligence, a spark of attraction building between them. The closer Madison and Alex became, the more he let her believe he was letting his guard down. He confided in her about his frustrations with Ethan, his desire for more respect and recognition in the hacker community. And Madison, sensing his vulnerability, began to plant seeds of doubt in his mind about Ethan's motives. "Do you really think Ethan has your best interests at heart?" she whispered one night, her breath hot on his skin. "Or is he just using you for his own gain?" Alex tried to brush off her questions, but they stuck in his mind l

Chapter 23As word spread of Ethan's relentless pursuit, Mr. Parker began to feel the pressure. His investors, once loyal, began to pull out, sensing that the tides were turning. They saw Ethan's dogged determination as a sign of the Parkers' vulnerability, and they did not want to be caught in the crossfire. Mr. Parker, however, was not one to be pushed around. He dug in his heels, his pride and stubbornness blinding him to the truth: that Ethan was a force to be reckoned with, and that the Parkers' time in the sun was coming to an end.Mr. Parker's anger knew no bounds. He stormed into Madison's office, his face red with rage."You've failed me," he snarled, his voice like a whip. "You were supposed to seduce that Wayne boy, to bring him under our control. And yet here we are, with him breathing down our necks, exposing our secrets, threatening our empire." Madison lowered her head, her face burning with shame. She had failed her family, failed to fulfill her duty. But deep down,

Chapter 22It was the day of the graduation ceremony, and Ethan stood in the school auditorium, dressed in his cap and gown, a medal around his neck. The auditorium was packed, the air thick with excitement and anticipation. As Ethan waited for his name to be called, he couldn’t help but reflect on the journey that had brought him here. He had worked hard, studied late into the night, and pushed himself to his limits. And now, he was being recognized as the best student of the year, a title he had always dreamt of achieving.Ethan’s grandfather sat in the front row, his eyes fixed on his grandson. His face was a mixture of pride and joy, his wrinkled hands clasped together in front of him. As Ethan stepped onto the stage to accept his award, his grandfather stood, his chest swelling with pride. He had seen his grandson’s potential from the beginning, had encouraged him to pursue his dreams and to never give up. And now, here he was, watching as Ethan realized his dreams, as he achie
