Monday morning came and Nathan was already at work. That was going to be one hell of a busy Monday. A rare Monday where Manuel would gather all of the board members to attend the meeting he had called, and they would all sign an agreement form Manuel had promised. "They're already here." Tori announced to him as she stepped inside. "It's five minutes till 9am. You ready?" Nathan had been ready since the week before. "I'll take my time, Tori. I need to keep them on their toes just as they have done to me."The young woman's brows furrowed. "What do you mean? You can't be late, it might arouse unnecessary arguments." "That's exactly what I want. They need to realize that I can tame Manuel. You know what, I can even cancel this meeting if I want to, and schedule it for tomorrow." He said, smirking with every word. Tori was not liking his tone. "You have to be careful with your games. Manuel is a very dangerous man. He won't just sit and relax." "What do you mean be careful with my

The next person on Nathan's list was no other than Parker Ryan, a Korean don. Ryan was an important client of the company, a great leader of a community in Ettavile. All Nathan had to do was set up a meeting with this man, and successfully have a personal chat with him. And that would be all.This man knew everybody in Ettavile, and who better than Ryan to help him get rid of Manuel!Manuel was still a pain in the ass for him, and other staff. In fact, his presence was doing more than twice the harm he'd been doing on the firm, and that was exactly why Manuel could never stay. He was a greedy and heartless man who would do anything for power. And that wasn't fair because he used people as he liked, believing he must be some sort of powerful god.Every man always has a secret. All Nathan had to do was to find his. And he will.Manuel has done enough damage in his firm than anyone else, and it was time he took charge. He remembered when Tori had mentioned to him that he just might have

When Evelyn arrived home, Owen was already back. Where he'd gone to, she didn't know. She didn't really care either. The man was a grown up! "Urgh! I'm so fucking tired." She grunted as she set her bags down and fell to the couch. "What happened?" Owen asked, tuning down the volume of the TV playing a Rihanna song. He loved Rihanna so much and had hoped what his mother had to say was good enough for him to have tuned her song low. "Regina, that bastard! She was this close to humiliating me in front of everyone!" She sighed, recalling the last part of how their meeting had ended. "Too bad for the accident though."Owen was already getting pissed off after hearing she had let him reduce the volume of Rihanna's song all because of Regina, then stopped at the part when she mentioned an accident. "Are you okay?" He asked, wondering whether it was his own mother that had been entangled in an accident. "Wait, what accident? A car accident--" "No, not me. And yes, it was a car accident. H

Evelyn was furious.The moment they arrived home, she threw her bags down and faced Owen. "I warned you, but did you listen? No! Now look at what you've caused.""It wasn't really my fault, mother. You and Mrs Regina hate each other. That's why she never blessed our relationship." Owen snapped back at her. "Oh you fool. Don't you get it? You're a nobody now. She hates you and your family. That's why! Especially now that you're useless! Look at my darling Doris, she's a strong woman who has done nothing but bless this family at every slightest moment she gets.""Seriously? You'll compare me with her too?" He couldn’t believe his eyes. Everyone suddenly forgot how well he used to do, and now Doris was the new responsible child! "Well guess what? It won't be long! I promise you that I'll become even more rich and better than that daughter of yours! I promise." And with that, he stomped out. Evelyn couldn't only gasp at the shock. "You? What could you possibly do, huh? What!" She yelled

Tori sat in her office, impatiently checking through the series of files she'd received from her search partners. There was a name there, but nobody seemed to have been able to access it. It was like she was a ghost, except, Parker assured Nathan his daughter is very much alive and that she just didn't want to see him. "Madison Ryan, where are you?..." She found herself questioning when her phone suddenly buzzed on the table. "Mom?" Why was she calling? "Oh hi mom," "Hey Tori, how are you?" The woman on the other end asked. "Well, I'm at work. How about you?" She replied, then waited for her mother's sarcastic response."Really? Oh I'm sorry, I think I've dialed the wrong number. Been meaning to speak with my daughter."Tori could've sworn she felt her mother rolled her eyes. She always did. "Well, here you are now, speaking to your daughter. Can we hurry up now? I'm busy stalking someone at the moment. Can I call you later?""Of course not. It won't be a minute, so just listen."T
