Elena was taken in by the police and was being investigated in a cold, grey interrogation room with flickering fluorescent lights. She told them that Mr. Fred was the one who told her to collect the briefcase from his secretary, her voice shaking with anxiety. Surprisingly, Mr. Fred denied that fact, and claimed Elena was lying, his face calm and collected. "I am telling you the truth! Check my phone, he called me at that exact time to tell me about that," she sneered at the officer in front of her, her eyes blazing with desperation.The officer raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. "Chill, Mr. Fred said he only called you to ask about the well-being of the company. Look, you don't have to keep lying, it will just make your case worse," he said, his voice firm but detached. Elena's face turned red with frustration, her hands clenched into fists. "Oh God! Can I talk to him myself?" she asked, brushing her hair with her hands, her voice cracking with emotion.The officer shook
Alexander felt a shiver down his spine as Mr. Augustus walked towards him slowly."So, you are Alexander?" Mr. Augustus demanded.Alexander maintained his composure and nodded. "Yeah... sir.""I heard you are an ex-convict," Mr. Augustus continued.Alexander nodded again, his eyes never leaving Mr. Augustus's face. "Yes, sir. That's true."Mr. Augustus's expression turned stern, his voice low and menacing. "I see. Well, Alexander, let me make one thing clear to you. My daughter, Emily, is off-limits to you. I don't want to see you with her again... Do you understand?"Alexander felt a surge of anger at the man's tone, but he kept his cool. "I can't do that, sir."Mr. Augustus took a step closer, his eyes boring into Alexander's. "Really? Why?"Alexander clenched his jaw in frustration. "She would have no one then. You neglect her, and don't even care about her."Mr. Augustus's face turned red with rage, his voice rising. "How dare you! You're just a convict, nobody! You have no right
Mr. Fred prepared his briefcase and was already set to leave the country. He glanced at the clock."Jessica should be here by now," he groaned. Jessica was his secretary. Talking of the devil, Jessica entered."Why are you so late?" he growled at her as he threw the briefcase at her."I am making sure you will be clear of all media and leave the country unnoticed. I am sorry," Jessica bowed."No one must know about my departure, not until Elena gets thrown in prison," he said."Okay, sure… but what about the other money with Scorpion? Should they stop laundering it?" Jessica asked."Uhm, yeah… we will find another route. We can't afford to be caught by the police again. Imagine if Elena wasn't around to be used; we have to be careful next time," he said."Okay… let's go, please," Jessica said, as she led the way, taking the unnoticed route she had prepared for his escape.As they made their way to the airport, Jessica led Mr. Fred through a series of winding streets and alleys, avoidi
"Oh, no! That can't be possible, how could grandfather make that bastard girl the CEO, what the hell is he thinking!" Vivienne shrieked, her voice echoing through the room. Her face was red with rage, and her eyes blazed with fury.Vivienne was the granddaughter of Mr. Augustus' first son, Mr. Jack. She was a strong-willed woman who would do anything for her husband, Mark. Mr. Augustus liked Mark, but he didn't feel comfortable with him, sensing something sinister about him.The room was filled with Mr. Augustus' extended family, including his children and grandchildren. Nick, born to Mr. Augustus' second child, was a cunning individual who always pretended to be cool. Angel, the last grandchild, born to Mr. Augustus' fourth child was childish and only knew how to spend money and shop. They were all in the room, including their parents, waiting for Mr. Augustus to arrive. Mrs. Augustus had already given them a hint about the meeting, which had sparked Vivienne's outburst.Vivienne's
Elena became the CEO of the A.G. Group, the company owned by her grandfather, and she was doing great with the help of Alexander. The company's profit share had skyrocketed within just two months of her arrival, and the board leaders had started to like her. She treated all staff and employees with respect, and currently, she was the wealthiest female in the city. Tracy's jealousy continued.Tracy was able to revive her family's company and stayed out of all charges with the help of Michael. Michael didn't have the idea that Tracy was just using him, and Tracy already had a big sinister plan to ruin him. Tracy decided to propose a business partnership deal with Elena, even though she wasn't happy about the success; she wanted to be a partner as A.G. was the number one best-performing company.She entered the company and was directed to the CEO's office. She headed there and arrived. She pushed the office door open, and there she was, Elena busy with her company. As soon as Tracy ent
Elena and Vivienne arrived at the venue where the birthday party was supposed to be held. Elena was dressed in a very short skirt and cropped top, which was unusually revealing for her, but Vivienne had convinced her strongly to wear it. Entering the bar, Elena was confused to find it empty, with only the bartender present. "Is this not the venue?" she asked, confusion etched on her face.Vivienne smiled. "Yeah, it is! But not just time yet. I just want us to be here early, before the cake and others arrive. I want you to be with me.""Oh," Elena stated, nodding, then looked around the bar. It was very wide and spacious for a birthday party. "Let's have some drinks before the cake and others arrive," Vivienne proposed."Mmm, no, please. I can't drink... I usually get drunk with just two cups of alcohol," Elena said.Vivienne convinced her, "Just a shot, a shot to clear our heads." Elena wanted to refuse, but Vivienne was pleading, so she gave in. They went to the bartender and ordere
Elena knew she had no choice but to do as Vivienne demanded, she stood in front of the room, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had called a family meeting, and they were all waiting for her, including Vivienne, who was watching her with an icy gaze."What my precious daughter, you called for a family meeting, hope there is nothing seriously wrong". Elena's heart raced as she opened the door and began to speak."Nothing wrong," she started, her voice trembling. "I've been thinking a lot about my role as CEO, and I've come to realize that I don't want to do it anymore."Mr. Augustus looked at her with concern. "What's that, daughter? You're giving up the company? Why?, How?, Is there any one threatening you?, In just a few months in the company you have elevated it, and the profit has skyrocketed, why!".Elena took another deep breath before continuing. "Yesh, Grandfather, it's not that. It's just... being CEO is not my passion, I want to do something else".The room fell si
Alexander and Olivia sat in the car, the silence between them thick and heavy. Alexander was the one driving and he didn't have the idea of where he was going.Olivia tried to break the silence, but Alexander wasn't having it."Alexander… I am," Olivia said, her voice soft and sultry."Shut up, Olivia," Alexander growled, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Just shut up."Olivia pouted, her lips curling into a sulk.The silence continued, the only sound the hum of the engine and the rush of the wind outside. Alexander's mind raced with thoughts of Elena and the hurt he had caused her. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her, and he knew he had to make things right.But for now, he just drove, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his heart heavy with regret.Olivia then stopped in the middle of the road."Please, get out", his voice was silent but stern."I am sorry..", she said."Just get out", he roared at him.Olivia then quietly opened the car and left. ALEXANDER was frustrated and
