In fact, she even clamoured for their divorce so her daughter could be available and eligible for more made men. She now felt isolated, caused by Justin. He had taken everything from her.She had been desperate for awhile but when ever she makes a move to retaliate back to Justin, he usually shows that he is always many steps ahead of her.

    The words she wanted to say got stuck in her mouth as the full extent of Justin's words sank in. “You..you would not do that Justin.” She stammered. “You can not destroy me. I can still try to protect myself. People would not abandon me to my plight.” She said trying to maintain some form of control over the present situation.Justin smirked as he heard her say that. He had on the confidence of a man who seems very sure of his victory. “You do not have anyone left Mrs Tucsons. I have made very sure of that. Your business partners have abandoned you. Your friends are nowhere around you at the moment and your money is not as much as you would like it to be right now.” He told his head slightly as his voice dripped with menace. “All you have left right now is me, Mrs Tuscons.”Tears welled up in her eyes as the reality of her situation hit her like a tidal wave.

I hear her name has been blacklisted from many of the city's most prestigious events.”“That is good but not enough.” Justin said as his voice turned steely. “I want her to feel helplessness.

    The room was silent when Justin re-entered. His expression was cold and disbelieving. There was no need for an explanation to the group still seated around the table for what had happened. The tension hung in the air. Every person in the room knew, it seemed, instinctively that a bomb had just gone off.And the consequences will cause serious damage. Mark sat at the head of the table. His fingers tapped the polished wood nervously. His usual confident demeanor was gone. It was replaced by a feeling of discomfort radiating from him. Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper.

    Justin sat in his office, staring at the files Mark had delivered earlier. The quiet hum of the city outside his window was a stark contrast to the storm raging inside him. A leak found in his own company—what he thought was kept safe—had just turned into a full-blown leak. People close to him are betraying him. And he didn't know who it was.In his head, Mark's words played on repeat, but it was the stabbing betrayal that hurt the most. He had single-handedly built this company as anything by steel-back-end deals, through a relentless strategy, and with the will to establish iron-clad grounds for its existence. And now, someone within his entire circle began tearing it all apart and selling to the highest bidder. A slap against the face, and Justin wasn't certain how to take it. He instantly picked the phone, dialing Mark's number.

The assistant’s usual upbeat tone was tinged with something more serious. “We need to talk.”Justin raised his eyebrows but waved his hand for Mark to continue. "what happened?" Mark's expression was tense, and Justin immediately felt a sense of urgency in the room.“It’s about the company’s recent movements. "I notice a few discrepancies in our financial reports.

She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative.

And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire. The walls were not comforting at all today; they were lined with dark mahogany, closing in on him. There was a scent of coffee-heavenly, fresh, and inviting, but equally intent on leaving him in the throes of angers light and storm inside his chest.
