As usual, Kate was already awake as she got ready to meet the CEO of the Charles family business company to plead for help.

Unfortunately, she couldn't get enough sleep the previous night. She was unable to tell if it was because of how badly Aidan treated her or because she was going to the Charles family business company the next day.

Kate only slept for three hours and during the remaining hours, she was wide awake pondering about her life. She regretted divorcing Aidan.

If only she knew.

The only thing that can get her off this miserable life is if she gets to partner with the company she was eager to go to today.

This would be her story of from grace to grass if she didn't get to partner with any of the top companies in the city.

It would be more embarrassing when those that knew her as a CEO see her living a low life. Will she be able to face the shame? Not at all.

“Again? Why do you like leaving so early? What sort of company will require their staff to go to the office this ea

Immediately, she was fully out of the car, the young man attempted to punch her in the face without waiting to hear any word from her.Unfortunately, the road safety who were just a few gaps away from them had seen what happened.As the man's fist was about to land on Kate's face, his hand stuck in the air.“Don't do that, young man. She is a woman, and besides, you are not meant to take the law into your hands, rather than reporting it to the appropriate agencies.” said the man in uniform.The young man furiously pushed Kate away, causing her to almost fall to the ground.“You must pay for this.” the man swore through gritted teeth.“Young miss,” the man in un

    On getting to her office, Sharon couldn't tell if she should be happy or sad. At least, Kate now knows that she isn't a poor lady as she mocked her at the party.Indeed, Kate must bow to her anytime they meet again.

She went ahead and rang Aidan to tell him what she saw on the road while going to the office.Maybe, this might make Aidan happy, maybe not. However, she was going to tell him.

    “Please take her to the president's office.” said the receptionist to the security man she called earlier.“Is this an order from the president?” the security man asked to be sure because if anything happens, he would be held responsible.“Yes, she said so.” The receptionist confirmed and the security man nodded.“You can follow him, ma'am.” The receptionist said to Kate with a wide smile.“Thank you,” Kate appreciated and followed the security man. As usual, she was praying that the CEO who happens to be a lady will listen to her cry and agree to partner with her.

    It was a few months after Kate had sold her company and given a quarter of the money to her mother and a quarter to her lazy younger brother.The money she had in her account before selling the company and the one she had after selling the company was almost finished.

    Antonio died miserably without being touched by anyone. Perhaps he thought he was going to live on earth forever. That's why he did evil things without thinking twice. He killed Felix, who was once a gang member. Mike and Henry were arrested together with some of Gregory's guards. Unfortunately, two people remained whom the police were still searching for. Mr. Smith and Gregory. Shockingly, when Gregory escaped from Mr. Smith's mansion, he blocked Antonio's number in case the police caught Antonio and tried to reach him through Antonio's phone, they wouldn't be able to do that. Whereas, Gregory and Mr. Smith arranged between themselves to meet in a certain location where Mr. Smith's private jet was always parked. They entered the private jet, intending to fly away from their country to a faraway land where no one would be able to predict where they were. They knew that what they did was unlawful, and they wouldn't want to stay and face the consequences of their evil deed

    “No…” Kate screamed at the top of her voice as she took her hand off the young man who was holding her and ran to her younger brother.“ Felix…!”Sharon froze with her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't tell if she should run or pray for the earth to open and swallow her up.On the other hand, fear gripped Antonio, who was still pointing the gun toward Felix. Suddenly, the gun fell off his hand to the ground.“Sir, let's escape. The police are approaching this room." One of the guards who was holding Sharon announced and quickly freed her.With haste, they ran out of the room, following different angles in the house until they found a way out.Unfortunately, the other guards had already taken Gregory away from the mansion to a safer place.There was a tunnel for escape that led to the outside of the mansion. That was the escape road that Gregory's guards took him to and escaped with him from the police.The underground police officers heard the gunshot and ran towards the room the

It was as if she were forced to eat dinner with them.Her gaze was buried in the food, refusing to lift her gaze, so she wouldn't have eye contact with Alpha king. She never wanted to do that, but her guilty conscience wasn't allowing her to free herself.Nonetheless, she assured herself that none of them was aware that she was the cause of the alpha king's sickness. Although she never planned to have dinner with them, she wanted to request Alpha Ryder.

    The police handcuffed four of Antonio's boys. Although there were six, two of the young men Antonio sent were shot dead by Aidan's bodyguards before the police could even arrive.Aidan didn't go with them as he was scared that if he left, another attack might occur again.The young men were taken to Mike's mansion. Upon arriving there, they called for the gatekeepers' attention.“This is Inspector Lincoln, an inspector from one of the police stations. These young men were caught in someone's house as they went there to attack his family. After they were caught and asked a few questions, they said their boss who sent them for this mission is residing here. So, we are here to see your boss. Please inform him that the police are here to see him. He should kindly step out, so we could discuss peacefully and know whether these young men are telling the truth or not.”Inspector Lincoln spoke to the gatekeepers with a calm voice, as though he didn't go there to confront a criminal.“Sir,” one

    With haste, Aidan dialed Inspector Lincoln's contact. As expected, he picked up almost immediately.As soon as Inspector Lincoln picked up, Aidan didn't exchange greetings with the inspector; rather, he went ahead and told Inspector Lincoln about what was happening in his house.Immediately after he passed the information, he terminated the call as his heart was pounding heavily inside his chest as if it were going to pluck out of its place.“What's wrong, sir?” Charlotte fearfully asked, even when she heard what Aidan told the police during the phone call.Aidan didn't answer Charlotte; rather, he grabbed her hand and attempted to drag her out of the house to his place because he knew that for Charlotte, staying home alone was dangerous as Antonio's boys were out there to hunt them all.“Follow me,” Aidan said.Charlotte nodded and followed him. Just as they stepped outside the house, he saw the young man who was trying to escape, dead already.“Hey, shouldn't you have spared his life

    Now, Aidan and Wayne have been trying to reach out to Felix and Mike, but they couldn't. They were lost about what was happening.That alone was enough to tell them something was wrong somewhere. They had feelings that Mike was hiding something from them.“Undoubtedly, my mind is telling me that Mike is working for Antonio and Gregory. If not that, then how come we didn't hear from them after he called Felix to meet with him at a certain address?” Wayne asked suspiciously.“I'm certain that he is hiding something crucial away from us, but what could that be? However, if he turns against us, I don't think he will also betray Felix, his best friend, or what do you think?” Aidan said.“This is more serious than I thought. We have been deceived,” said Wayne with a sad expression.They stood there wondering what to do as they knew that all of them were greatly in danger. One could see how worried they were as they stood by the front of a hotel looking around if they would catch a glimpse of

    “That's never an excuse, Mike. Must you kill someone before you can be wealthy, huh? Do I look like a kid to you that you can easily toil with?” Felix yelled at Mike at the top of his voice.“Don't blame me, Felix.” Mike snapped.“ Do you know what I was going through? Besides, I never knew that it was your Mom. I just found out that it's your Mom who we poisoned when you told me about hunting Antonio for poisoning your mom.” “So, what are you saying, young man? Must you know that it was Felix's Mom before you refused to obey your boss? It's a crucial offense to claim someone's life. You don't have the power to give life. So, why do you take away life?” Sharon squawks at him.“I guess it's time for me to interrupt you all because your conversation is beginning to disturb my eardrums,” said Antonio with his hands akimbo.“Do not dare to be a good man here when you are the devil himself. I should have known that this is who you are from the very beginning. I'm so disappointed in you, Ant

    An hour later, Felix woke up in a strange place, feeling dizzy as if he were beaten up by some gangsters.“Ahh…!” Felix shrieked sorrowfully as he blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to figure out where he was.“Felix, are you okay?” A low tone of voice echoed in his ears, calling for his attention. He lazily raised his head and looked at the two ladies who were tied beside him.Upon setting eyes on Kate and Sharon, Felix was shocked to see them; he never knew it was a trap that was set against him.He stared at them for a few minutes, wondering if truly he was looking at his sister and Sharon.“H-how? And why?” Felix stammered. “What happened? How did I get here? If I could recall, I planned to meet with Mike, so how did I end up here?” He asked more questions.“See, Felix, your friends betrayed us. I wonder where you picked them from because they are not people. We should have trusted. They brought us here and kept us hostage. Unfortunately, they are working for Antonio.” Kate annou

However, Mike didn't fail to inform Wayne and Aidan.“The two remaining guys shouldn't follow you, please. I believe that Antonio will see us from afar if we are approaching the location he promised to send soon. I tell you, these two guys have numerous unknown agents that are working for them. They are almost everywhere in the city. “So, you can imagine where he would bewhile watching his boys bring you to him. However, you guys should be alert because we might call for help anytime soon after Felix has successfully met with Antonio and Gregory.“The last thing is, please don't involve the police in this. If you do so, then it would be hard for us to achieve our goal.” Mike advised.“Yeah, we know what to do. There's no need for you to remind us, man…” Wayne
