CHAPTER 92EVA'S POVThe glass collided with the wall and shattered to a thousand pieces on the floor. Liam stood there unmoving and red liquid stained his cheek where a piece had cut him. He winced but did not touch the cut. He did not say anything either.I had been vandalizing my living room since we got home. It was just the two of us. Jonathan had said his piece and had returned to his hotel, swearing never to return until we began discussion about our divorce. He was this close to disowning Liam but he decided it was best to stay away from him instead and strip him of every right he had to be a part of the company. He was being punished right now and he was not to show up at the Railings Corp until his anger was appeased. He was determined to divorce me though. The deal we had fell through. It was my fault for being overconfident. I thought Lorena would not survive the attack, I also thought the board of directors would stand by Liam who they had known for much longer. I knew

CHAPTER 93JONATHAN'S POVWe sat in silence around the table, each one focusing on the food in front of us but barely touching it. A woman who had been introduced to me as Laura looked from one face to the other and sighed."I spent a lot of time on this meal people so you better get down to business." She said."Thank you for this." I told her and proceeded to dig into the food. I looked up to see Lorena and Ariana doing the same. Sarah Tanner picked up her spoon and began to eat too.Ariana had called me over. She said she had something important to tell me and I had to come alone because it was something that couldn't get out. I know our relationship was shrouded in secrecy and there would be more shocking revelations to come since I didn't know half of what happened all these years. I had a lot of questions to ask her but I didn't want to bombard her with them. I'd wait and let her talk to me on her own time."Thank you Ariana, for letting Lorena be my daughter. I'm glad you let

CHAPTER 94EVA'S POVLoud, angry footsteps descended the stairs, the sound echoing through the living room. I sat down reading the papers perhaps to find out if Jonathan had decided to push through with his threat after all. I needed to know if any news outlet would state that we were going to get a divorce but everything I'd seen so far were mere speculations.He was right too, about the public's reaction to the press conference. Sure, there were people who criticized him for his actions but a lot more supported how well we were handling the issue. The incident happened a long time ago too and there was no need fussing over it now when over twenty years had passed. Besides, the Railings Corp was too established to be pulled down with something so fickle.I also checked the papers regularly now to see if my in-laws had announced lorena as the heiress. It would be game over if they did. It would mean that they had really just turned their backs on their only grandson. My own parents to

CHAPTER 95LEONORA'S POVI sat down at my desk going through some case files when I heard a tap on my table. I looked up to see Keith looking down at me, his expression grim."Someone's here to see you." He said and pointed towards the chief's office."What's wrong? Who's here to see me and why the chief's office?""Who do you think? Your step mother of course." He replied and looked around to make sure no one was within earshot. "I'm sure everyone has their suspicions after the announcement was made on TV and in the papers. They all say you look like the new heiress but no one wants to come flat out and ask you about it. We're the police and we would never meddle in your personal life. I've been getting a lot of questions though "I sighed, remembering how Keith met Lorena the same day that I did. Also, he was the closet person to me at the office. "Thanks for not saying anything. I'll address that later, just not right now ""I understand. It's because of the case right?"I nodded.

What to wear, where to have it, who to invite, small gathering or big glamorous wedding? All of that was what everyone was fussing about now.It was no news that my sister was engaged to Andrew Sanchez. It was the most talked about wedding, some were even starting to call it the wedding of the century. I was headed to our home now where everyone else was waiting. We would be reaching final agreements on how the event would run. I felt a knot in my stomach as I drove home from the station. Was it nerves? Why would I be nervous?Andrew and Lorena were seated side by side, their hands intertwined. They glowed with love and it was obvious they adored each other. They smiled when they saw me walk in."Leonora, you made it!" She said excitedly."Sure I did. This is a very exciting time and I want to be here with you all the way. What have you both decided so far?" I asked, g

CHAPTER 97EVA'S POVAs I sat in front of the mirror and applied some powder on my face, I pondered on the reason Lorena would decide to pay me a visit. She definitely knows that her father had stopped living here ever since the truth about our past came out. Was she really here to see me?I checked my watch and realized that it had been three minutes since the maid announced that a visitor was waiting for me downstairs. She specifically said that miss Lorena was here and she wanted to see me. It was shocking but I checked the camera monitor and saw her seating pretty on the couch waiting for me to come out. Liam was out with his friends so it was just me.I walked down the stairs and she looked up when she heard my footsteps. I dismissed the maid with a nod and she bowed and left the living room."Lorena, it's a surprise to have you visit me. To what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked, taking a seat on the couch.She smiled back and looked around to make sure we were alone."I guess it

It really would be the wedding of the century.I wasn't supposed to be here but there was no way I would sit back and have my sister relegate me to the background. She had no right to deny my presence here. Eva's words were beginning to make sense to me now. She had to go or I would be stuck in her shadow forever.I knew the Grand Hall like the back of my hand, so sneaking in was no difficult task especially with how hectic things were at the background. Lorena was still in her room dressing up and couldn't be bothered with anything else. I overheard her asking for her hair pin that wasn't where she had left it and Bella, her maid of honor volunteered to go get it. I made sure to hide the hairpin so I would have time alone with her. Now was my chance.I waited until I heard her footsteps fade and entered her room, locki

I never did like the plan from the beginning but Leonora was bent on pushing through with it. There really was no other way, and trust me, we had tried everything we could but it didn't work out.When this opportunity presented itself, there was no way she would pass it up despite how dangerous it was. The commissioner and everyone at headquarters also agreed to it.Leonora would be the bait.I remembered when she came to me and told me Eva had visited her and asked that they work together to stop Lorena from taking over the company.
