Cassandra meets with a man who says he has an amazing business deal for Wellington Group.After seeing her approaching the table, he gets up.‘’Hello there,’’ he smiles.Cassandra returns his smile and takes his outstretched hand.‘’It’s nice to meet you.’’The man doesn’t stop smiling or lets go of Cassandra’s hand, instead his grip gets tighter and she had to pull her hand away.‘’Sorry, I got nervous just now. I didn’t expect to see someone as beautiful as you coming up to me. I guess Wellington stepped up their game and got rid of that old hag. I guess Liam likes shitting on even the best person.’’Cassandra stares at him for a while, wondering if he had been living under a rock to not know that Annie is dead.‘’I wouldn’t say that.’’‘’Call it what you must.’’ He waves for her to sit.‘’So, what interesting offer do you have for me?’’‘’Umm, straight to the point I see.’’Cassandra nods. ‘’Yes, I have several other meetings after this, I am a very busy woman. Sorry, but I didn’t

‘’Anyway, I can’t pay back that loan. I don’t think I even want to,’’ Mark says as he enters his office again.Cassandra is baffled by his words. “Why?”‘’I believe when that Tate kid bought JCDA, all the previous contracts have been terminated. I never got a new draft to say there is a new owner or anything about how the payment would be worked out.’’‘’Y-‘’‘’Listen, I owe 300 million in loan. If I should pay Tate back, then I would have to pay back all those other companies first, seeing that I went to JCDA last for a loan.’’‘’Why so much? How come you owe that much?’’ Cassandra asks.‘’I am a businessman; I am trying to save my company.’’But what he doesn’t know is that while he was on the phone, Cassandra looked through the important files on his computer that he foolishly left open. She already saw that apart from JCDA, Mark only owned one other loan company. He had paid another five million dollars, which was more than what he borrowed from them.‘’I have a lot on my plate an

The next morning, all the headlines were about Mark Ramon. In one of his confessions, he stated that he had no idea Cassandra was Liam’s cousin and if he had known then he wouldn’t have done what he did.That made people furious because it makes it seem as if he wouldn’t have gotten caught if it was someone else.Following the news, Mark’s wife had divorced him, and women are stepping forward to speak up about the horrors they experienced with the man.‘’Are you going to take over Mark’s old business?’’ Cassandra asks.‘’No, I don’t want a place like that. I am somewhat superstitious and believe that there will be lustful demons roaming around in that place. I fear that any men that I put in that position will attract that demon and begin to do the things Mark did.’’Cassandra nods. ‘’That’s understandable.’’Liam rests a hand on her shoulder. ‘’I never said this, but you were very brave for what you did and because of that it gave all these women a voice and courage to tell their sto

Liam looks at the form in his hands then begins to search through the pile, not understanding what he is looking at.‘’I thought none of these people got a loan, then why are their names here? The seal stamped on them all have today’s date.’’He searched some more until he found Josie and Kyle’s name.‘’I don’t understand this,’’ Liam says, waving the form then turns to the woman. ‘’What is your name?’’‘’Crystal.’’Liam says nothing and picks up a few more forms then go back to the main area. He begins to call a few names, and the corresponding people hold up their hands.‘’I thought you said you never got your loans, but here on these forms it said you all have been approved.’’Everyone begins to talk at once.‘’Settle down!’’ Liam tells them. ‘’I am trying to figure this out.’’He reads over a name. ‘’Patrica Young?’’A woman holds up a hand.‘’It said you were approved for a two-million-dollar loan.’’‘’Come again?’’ The woman says in shock.‘’Your loan was approved for two millio

A little after 3 am, Liam gets a call.‘’Hello?’’‘’Sir, sorry to bother you but JCDA was broken into a short while ago. They made off with money that was left in the safe.’’‘’What the fuck!’’ Liam says at first.That causes Miranda to stir from her sleep. ‘’What is it?’’ Miranda asks, her voice crackling.‘’I know who did it, it’s Kyle.’’‘’Are you sure?’’‘’Yes, I want that fucker locked up now!’’A sound frightens Kyle from his sleep, he looks around the room which is small enough to be a prison cell after seeing that nothing is amiss, he lays back down. Just as Kyle is about to fall asleep, the old down is kicked off its hinges and ten police officers surrounds the mattress that is on the ground.‘’What the hell is this?’’ Kyle is once again sitting up in bed.‘’You are under arrest.’’‘’For what?’’‘’Breaking, entering and theft at JCDA. The crime took place just over an hour ago.’’‘’What? I didn’t do any of those things.’’“Save it for the judge.’’ An officer said then drag Ky

Liam gets a call, telling him that Kyle is out of custody. "What, why the hell would you let him go?" Liam asks in anger."Because he is clearly from the charge. He had a solid alibi." "I need to know what that alibi is.""He went to a pharmacy because he was sick, the cameras there confirmed that. The ones on the street also showed him going home and not leaving.""Really, then, who did this?""I sent know, but he is planning to press charges against you and the arresting officers.""What does he expect to really get out of this? I want to give him a dime.""Actually, Mr. Tate, he has Ala right to sue the police. While he was in custody, they beat him badly. His left shoulder is broken, he has a few cracked ribs, and his neck is in a brace.""Shit," Liam lets out."The bad part is that he is blaming you for this. Said you set him up and paid the officers to harm him.""I never did that.""He doesn't think so."Just as Liam hangs up the phone, he hears Casandra screaming at someone

Miranda almost felt sorry for Kyle after hearing about all that he has been through over the past few days."Maybe we can help him," she says to Liam."Help who?" Liam asks, looking up at her."Kyle," she replies softly. "Why would you want me to help him?""Because -"Liam cuts her off. "I get that because he is your brother, and you would feel the need to connect to him and such, but that man tried to ruin my life and even wanted me dead. I refuse to ever extend a hand to anybody like that.""But -""Miranda, I am done talking about this." Liam changes the subject. "How is it going with this new wedding planner."Miranda's eyes lit up. "Oh, she is so wonderful. She listens to what I have to say. And it's going to be magical."Liam pulls Miranda down into his lap and kisses her neck."I can't wait for this," Miranda smiles.Liam's phone rings, and he gently pushes her out of his lap."Tate here.""Sir, it's about Kyle.""What about him?" Liam asks. "He bought shares in Saywer's Bus
