"I'm very sorry, Mr. Chairman," she said, her voice tinged with fake sincerity. I crossed my legs, observing her closely before allowing a smirk to grace my face.

"An apology isn't enough. What do you propose to do to restore my calm?" I asked, my tone firm but controlled.

"One would think she's your mother. President Karen is slowly taking my son away from me," Mother's voice resonated, as she walked into the house. How did she even know I was here? The surprise evident in my expression.

"No, ma'am, I dare not. I wouldn't dream of taking him away from you," President Karen replied with a warm smile.

"I've been searching everywhere for you, Stephen. Why are you still awake?" Mother asked.

"I just felt like spending some time here with President Karen," i replied, my voice filled with a sense of fondness. Mother took a deep breath, processing his words.

"And what about me? Don't you think we have a lot to catch up on?" she asked, her tone tinged with a mixture of hope

Me and Susan stopped talking, as she had blocked my number on all her handles. I couldn't contact her, I don't know what she's up to," his words were laced with sincerity. A mix of shock and curiosity. I stood briskly and gulped down my lumps."Better find a way to caution her so that she's not going to put you in trouble; find a way to talk to her so that she will vacate my house. If not, you won't like me," I conceded, my tone laced with anger and frustration."I am sorry, Mr. Chairman. I will try my best to address the situation.

Nathalie asked, and I nodded my head in acknowledgement."You should let her in. I know how to put people like her in their place. Perhaps it's time for payback for what my brother has passed through in their hands" she said firmly, frustration evident in her eyes."You aren't going to do anything; this is a working environment, and personal matters shouldn't be brought in. We can do that when we are at home. We would respect the working environment without being biased.

My tone demanded, and I chuckled skeptically."Not what you think, sir; I don't want to lose my fiance; I love her ality, and I have invested so much in her. I supported her all through the past six years, and when she suddenly wanted to leave me, I had to convince her in anyway I could. I don't even know how she got to know about this."

    "You all are truly despicable," he uttered through gritted teeth, an evident disdain marking his face. "Crossing paths with beings like you is nothing short of repugnant." He paused, his eyes narrowing in a mixture of anger and satisfaction. "However, you should be well aware that your reign of deceit is coming to an end. Very soon, your facade of elegance and superiority will crumble, leaving you with nothing but a burned-out husk of a life. If I were the prosecutor overseeing this case, I would pass judgment swiftly and without mercy—death by hanging.
