Katerina sighed with regret cradling the phone to her chest before placing the phone back on its hook.Estelle was right there to give her moral support “It's okay darling, you did nothing wrong.” She rubbed the side of her arm. “He's a monster and you're too special to be with monsters.”She rolled her eyes, tired of the suggestive talks ever since she came here. Her parents have been trying to brainwash her into believing that Tyler was some kind of monster, a bad person that needs to be punished but she couldn't reconcile that with the man that she knew and spent time with yesterday.It was a little bit hard to convince herself to leave but then again she had this feeling in her guts that said she should trust Dylan.Packing up her bags was the hardest thing she had to do but she did it anyway, however, she regretted ever coming here. Not only did she not have memories of these people that claimed to be her parents but there were also reminders that stated they were very much invol

Katarina retired herself in the accounting room where she sat observing how their stocks plummeted by the second. She had to place a call to someone she had who was a reporter to help her find who leaked the news of how the family supported the mayor with illegal money for his re-election process to the press.Unfortunately, the person had no leads leaving her back at where she started.With every minute that passed by, she grew restless, the feeling of helplessness threatening to overwhelm her.She wasn't one for religious activities but at this point, she was at her wit’s end and she offered a prayer to whoever was listening, believing that there was no loss in trying in the first place.Two hours later, Leeland reported back to her that two of their big-time investors had pulled out and their stocks now we're down to 40 percent.The stocks were down by 60%, that is the end of their company they would have no choice but to liquidate and set up the rest of the shares or declare bankr

“Hey, honey how did it go?” Dylan's head popped up when he heard the front door open. Katerina looked like a drowned rat, her hair hanging limply around her neck as she walked forward, looking sad and defeated.“Come over here,” Esther and Dylan set up worried about their daughter. “Are you okay?” they surrounded her, enveloping her with all the love and comfort she could ever need, and just like that she broke down, tears running down her face.“I couldn't do it! Mom, I'm so sorry I couldn't do it…our company is going to go down and everything that you guys have ever worked hard for is just going to go down to drain like that!” She wailed.Esther and Dylan's eyes met over their daughter’s head.Esther took the lead. “Honey, you're going to have to start from the beginning. What happened to you you look terrible?’Katerina summoned the courage to look up and face her parents telling them the truth. “I lied to you guys, there's no investment, there's no broker or personnel that I'm wor

“You say you want my help right?”“Of course we do, Katerina says that you're really good with companies and helping people out of issues and I feel like we can help you out of ours.”Tyler had a dim smile on his face and he just kept looking at them a couple of months ago they hated his guts because he was too poor to marry their daughter even though he helped treat her so she could be the real version of herself but now there were swarming his office like a pack of rats, eager to get scrapes from where they could.“Why should I help you?’ he wondered. “The last time I remember you practically insulted me and drew me out of your house, so give me one good reason why I shouldn't extend the same courtesy to you.”Elizabeth stepped forward. “Acting as the matriarch of the family, I think if you're mad at anybody here, I believe you should be mad at me the most because of how I treated you and you don't have to listen to anything we have to say but I believe that you loved my granddaught

It was clear that he was not welcome here so he decided to take his leave but on his way out he saw two familiar faces that for some reason made him very uncomfortable seeing them together. It was Katarina's cousin and Mark Kincaid, whispering in secret corners together.Something at the base of his god's mingled at him and he couldn't help but find out what they were doing together Changing directions, he was also glancing back to make sure that Katerina was not behind him he went forward it was a bit ironical that two lovebirds who could not keep their hands of themselves now I turned enemies and strangers I mean ever since he knew about her families involvement in his family's mother he always knew that something was going to fundamentally changed when the truth came out and now, he had his answer.Mark and Liam entered a supply closet, looking around them suspiciously before they went in. Pretending to be an orderly, Tyler grabbed a clipboard and a barrel heading towards the sup
