Those words piqued Oliver’s curiosity. So, with his brows furrowing, he asked, “How?”

Rebecca looked at Nate, as if she was saying that it wasn’t her story to tell.

Nate cleared his throat and drank his beer. Unlike what Oliver was expecting, Nate looked smug, feeling proud of what he was about to tell him.

“Well, you know that as I climbed the corporate ladder at Williams Corporation, I somehow dealt with the toxic employees there,” Nate stated.

Oliver nodded. “Of course. Even when we’re working at the wet market before, we experienced that,” he said.

“Right.” Nate agreed. “And one time, I noticed that there were discrepancies with the company’s funds. It wasn’t matching accurately with the statements, which immediately gave me suspicions about something.”

He paused, then spoke again, “Someone’s stealing the company funds. And I need to know who it was.”

“So, what did you do?” Oliver asked, his interest getting bigger now.

Nate didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leaned on the cha

    Just when Oliver was about to pour himself another drink, an unwelcome voice pierced through their bubble of laughter.It was Trisha, someone he didn’t expect to see at this place."Mind if I join?" Trisha's sickly sweet tone interrupted, though she didn’t wait for an answer. She sat beside Oliver, so close that their shoulders brushed. But she didn’t even move. Instead, her smile widened as this was her plan all along.To act like it was a coincidence seeing Oliver in the bar, although it was not.The sudden intrusion made Rebecca stiffen immediately. Her giggle disappeared like it had been cut by a knife. She exchanged a sharp glance with Nate, who was also silent, and the tension was evident on his shoulders.‘This isn’t good,’ Nate thought, mentally shaking his head. ‘I smell chaos.Oliver’s relaxed posture also tensed for a second, but he quickly masked it with a nonchalant sip of his beer. “What are you doing here?” Oliver asked dryly, not even glancing at her.Trisha rolled

    Oliver stayed behind for a second, finishing his drink in one gulp before slowly standing up.He glanced down at Trisha, who was doing her best to maintain calm, yet her expression barely contained fury.“You should leave too, Trisha,” Oliver said, his voice cold and emotionless. “Before you embarrass yourself even more.”Without waiting for her response, he turned and followed after Nate and Rebecca, leaving Trisha to stew in the humiliation she brought upon herself.Trisha sat frozen for a moment, anger burning beneath her forced smile.However, as she spotted Oliver’s back disappearing into the crowd, panic flashed in her eyes. He’s the main reason why she was here. She can’t just let her leave!She jumped up from her seat and hurried after him."Oliver! Oliver, wait!" she called out, catching some of the customers’ attention, especially when she pushed some of them just to weave through the bar’s crowd. “Excuse me!”One of the women she pushed stumbled on the ground, and she looke

    Trisha shrugged exaggeratedly.“It’s business. Everyone’s dirty if you dig deep enough,” Trisha answered, her shoulders already sluggish as she leaned on the chair.“But Denver and Jay? They’re survivors. Smart ones. They know how to cover their tracks.”Those words caught Oliver’s attention. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “And?” he asked, but based on Trisha’s expression, it seemed like she was hesitating to tell Oliver more, even despite the alcohol running through her veins.His voice dropped to a coaxing whisper, his lips almost brushing her ear, “Come on, Trisha. You can tell me more than that. It’s just us here.”With that movement, Trisha swayed slightly in her seat, giggling drunkenly.However, she was more clever and cunning, more than Oliver expected him to be.Trisha sat properly, now looking Oliver in the eye.“Maybe I could,” she teased, running a finger down his arm. “But... what's in it for me? If I tell you everything I know, what can I get in re

    Oliver remained on his seat, pondering.‘Pushing her harder would just make her babble nonsense,’ he thought, his brows furrowing deeply. ‘But letting her go now could mean losing the lead he needed.’And he’s not the type to let go of the opportunity, especially if it was already in front of him.He needed a plan, quickly. And he knew just how to bait her. Which is to let her want more, and he just knew what she wanted: Him.His money, to be exact.With a slow, deliberate smile, Oliver poured another drink and pushed it toward her. Although he already has an idea that Trisha was almost on the edge, he won’t stop.Because his gut was telling him that something was fishy, but he just didn’t know what exactly that was.“Alright, Trisha," Oliver said smoothly, agreeing with her condition. "You want a dance? Finish this first."If she wanted to play, he’d play.But only until she gave him everything.Trisha’s eyes gleamed with joy at the offered drink and the dance they’ll do later, as if

    ‘This wasn’t just about buying Denver’s company anymore,’ Oliver thought, clenching his fists. ‘It was about getting ahead of whatever scheme Denver had planned.’Moving something, pinning all the blame to someone, and their scapegoat plan… everything was connecting to something that Oliver wasn’t sure about. Not yet.And Oliver would make sure he wasn’t the scapegoat they intended to use.Not now. Not ever.With those thoughts drowning in his mind, Oliver’s eyes narrowed, the old, ruthless fire reigniting inside him.‘It was time to hunt,’ he thought, his gaze laced with determination.But before that, he still needed to make sure that Trisha would go home safe and sound.It wouldn’t be safe for her to ride a cab, so he was about to call someone trustworthy to take Trisha home, as he was already halfway to the parking lot.Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.“O-Oliver!"

    The disgust and anger radiated through Oliver’s eyes, which was something Trisha wasn’t expecting to see.Although they had a fake marriage for the last few years, it was the first time they kissed. Mainly because Trisha doesn’t want to do it.And now, Trisha expected that Oliver would feel happy. That he was finally able to taste her… So why does it look like he wanted to kill her with his gaze?“What’s wrong?” Trisha asked, her brows furrowed in confusion. “Didn’t you like it because I drank too much alcohol? Is that the reason your brows were furrowed like that—”Before Trisha could finish her sentence, Oliver suddenly held the collar of her shirt, slamming her to a car, their faces having a few distance against each other.It was full of tension, but not in the way Trisha hoped. Because this kind of tension was the one that could kill her. Literally.“Don’t say something like that to my wife again, or I might forget that you’re a woman, Henverton,” Oliver growled, his voice laced

    As soon as Oliver arrived at the hotel’s parking lot, Oliver shut down the engine, but he didn’t go outside the car just yet.For a long moment, he just stayed in the driver’s seat, hands gripping the steering wheel, staring blankly ahead.Trisha’s drunken kiss, her clinging desperation, Carolina’s angry and disgusted expression—all of it replayed in his mind like a bad film he couldn’t turn off.He suddenly remembered how badly his life had been over the past few years, especially when he lost his memory. Although he was breathing, it felt like his soul had died.“Shit.” Oliver exhaled sharply through his nose, resting his forehead against the steering wheel for a second before sitting back.Pathetic.That was the only word he could think of to describe her now.However, that was Trisha’s real character. She would do anything just to have money so she could buy her luxury.But the Trisha he had known was confident, charming, and dangerous in her own way. And she just showed him the e

    Seraphine’s phone buzzed on the side table, and she barely glanced at it.However, something about the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen made her frown.Curious, she reached for it and unlocked it. Seraphine suddenly forgot how to breathe for a moment upon seeing the picture sent to her.Staring back at her was a picture, and although it was a blurry one, something was unmistakable. Oliver was in the picture with a woman.A woman pressing her lips to his. And it was just not any other woman.It was Trisha.“Shit… What is…” Seraphine trailed off, not even able to finish her sentence as her heart twisted painfully. “What the hell is this…”Her fingers gripped the phone tightly without realizing it, her knuckles whitening.But that wasn’t all.

    Oliver was about to speak again, explaining more. But before he could even do that, Seraphine sighed heavily, the sound so weary it nearly broke him."I just… I can’t keep doing this, Oliver,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “I can't keep feeling like I’m going to be blindsided every time you walk out the door.”She added, “I trusted you. God knows I still do. But… I don’t know how to process these things.” Her voice was pained, and it hit Oliver like a physical blow.“Seraphine, please—”“I need time,” Seraphine said quietly, halting Oliver from finishing his sentence. “I need space to think. I don’t know if I can keep trusting you right now.”And before Oliver could explain, Seraphine had ended the call.Oliver stood in the middle of his room, his hand gripping the phone tightly, staring at the empty screen. It felt like the world had just tilted under his feet.For a moment, he didn’t know what to do, or even where to begin to fix this.All he knew was that he couldn’t let it en
