Cassie walked into the buzzing hall, the vibrant lights and pulsating music seemingly mocking her turbulent state of mind. She felt out of place amidst the lively crowd, her delicate balance between intoxication and emotion threatening to collapse. The sound of laughter and merriment echoed in her ears, a stark contrast to the turmoil within her.Desperately needing something sturdy to hold on to, Cassie reached out her trembling hand and gripped the nearby wall. The coolness of the surface offered a brief respite, grounding her in the midst of the chaotic scene. Her head spun with a mixture of alcohol and emotions, the intoxicating effects and the weight of her current situation vying for control.“Fuck!” she muttered as she tried to stable her stance.“Why is everything going against me today!” she muttered as she squeezed her eyes shut.Arnold watched her from a distance, a smirk dancing on his face. He glanced at his phone occasionally, watching a video Mason had sent him. Disgust
Ethan arrived at the venue, he stepped out of the cab “Keep the change” he said as he handed over the fee to the cab man, who slightly bowed at him and drove off.Ethan turned to walk inside the venue when he suddenly noticed Mason, he had his back resting on a car and was about to light a cigar, he thought he might have stayed behind, perhaps he wanted to humiliate him. He thought about going through his plans as he had made with Demi, he had a strong temptation to retaliate on everything Mason had done and humiliate him just like he had done to him severally, he would love it so much to bring him on his knees while he begs him to save him, Ethan sighed instead decided to take a different approach probably giving him a benefit of doubts.Walking past Mason, Ethan maintained a stoic demeanor, ignoring the insults and provocations. However, just as he passed by, Mason put his legs on the road, causing Ethan to stumble. He was only able to balance his stance before falling on the floor
Mason stares incredulously at Ethan and suddenly bursts into laughter. “Do you think I am a fool and I will believe that stupid drama you just displayed?” Mason asked and Ethan placed his both hands in his pocket, staring at Mason with a neutral expression.“There is no way you are the renowned Mr. White because he is very anonymous, no one knows him, and definitely you can’t be him. Are you trying to tell me you are the same Mr. White that is attending this banquet tonight?” He asked and laughed hysterically, he couldn’t believe Ethan could pull out such a stupid prank on him.He suddenly collides his hands together, clapping as he laughs. “That was a good performance right there” he mocked and Ethan didn’t say a word, he only stared at him like a lunatic. “Whoever you paid to have that call with must have been a good actress, you both tried, but I am not a foolish man and that stupid call is not enough to convince me,” Mason said and Ethan let out a long breath.“Do you think you ca
As Arnold followed Grandpa Rogers out of the room, his heart raced with anticipation. He knew that tonight was going to be a turning point, not only for Cassie, but for himself as well. The video evidence he had gathered was damning, and he was certain that once everyone saw it, everything is going to turn in his favor."Let me know why you have dragged me here, "Grandpa Roger said and Arnold nodded immediately. He brought out his phone and showed him the video Mason had sent to him.Grandpa Roger watched with utmost attention and his eyes widened in shock before anger started coursing through him. "What is the meaning of this?!"Grandpa Roger said with anger fueling his whole being."Cassie got the Casino bid through illicit means. Mason is sleeping with her, despite all her talks about loving that poor scumbag Ethan and other things."Arnold said, only fueling Grandpa Roger's anger."Mason deliberately pulled his family company off the bid because of Cassie, thereby reducing the numbe
“I am sure this is going to be great,” one of the investors said and Ethan smiled“Of course, trust us to do a perfect job” Ethan replied. He was at an airport with the investors discussing the new project in hand.He suddenly heard a clearing of a throat and tilted his head to look at Demi. “I have something to show you” she muttered and Ethan nodded“You will have to excuse me, I will be back,” Ethan said and the investors nodded. He moved away from them and walked away with Demi to a secluded place.“Why do you want to see me?” Ethan asked and Demi gave her phone to him. Ethan, with furrowed brows, took the phone from her and carefully watched the screen, his eyes widened a bit as he saw the news of Cassie's infidelity spreading.“I saw this, and I thought I should show it to you first,” Demi said and Ethan stared at the screen shocked. He watches the video and instantly knows Cassie is not in her right frame of mind because she looks different, and even her body posture gives her

“Don’t tell me, you are going to ignore me throughout the night. Are you that offended your husband let you go easily like the coward he is” Mason said and Cassie shot him a look.“I have told you several times not to talk about Ethan in that manner, if not just stop the car and I will gladly come down, I can go to the venue with a cab” Cassie retorted, fisting her hand angrily. The night wasn’t going the way she had planned, and everything was on her nerves.“Stop being stiff Cassie, I don’t know why you get so angry when someone spills the truth about Ethan, you know deep down every word said against him is the truth” Mason stated and Cassie flared at her, at this point she was tired and regretted getting inside the car with him at the first place, she should have stayed back or better still look for a cab.“You are always acting as if Ethan controls you when your so-called husband could let you go that easily, can’t you see, and now you are rejecting a drink from me” Mason added an
