Sam’s POV:“Regardless…” I tried again but bad-mouthed Anna didn’t let me talk. Her mouth has gotten so unbridled after she left my abode. She had forgotten to consider that I harboured and fed her for years.“Do not spew that out, Dad,” she told me carefully. “It is shameless and if I was in your place, I would be so embarrassed. I might have considered your plea for help but you dared to ask for two hundred million dollars. Tell me if your whole business is worth that amount!”I said nothing here. I was hurt by all she had said. I had read about Smith’s business on Forbes magazine and I knew he would have two hundred million dollars. Instantly, I regretted my actions. I should not have started that discussion with Anna in the first place.“I will leave,” I stood up immediately. “But I will never forget this disrespect from you, Anna. Bear in mind that your children would do the same to you!”“That will only happen if I treated my kids the way you treated me. All you say are pointles

Emily’s POVI wanted to take revenge and get Smith but a few things were necessary. I had to meet with people who had the same motive as me. On the top of my list was Dan.I did not know if he hated either Smith or Anna but it would be quite worthy. He was Anna’s ex-boyfriend and he broke up with her because I was involved. I could still remember how Anna caught me sleeping with him. I never intended to do such but things happened like that. During that period, I was jealous of Anna. Even with the level of maltreatment she faced at home, she was better than me in everything. She beat me in academics, she was a better cook since I could not cook at all. She was a better household manager and luck seemed to be with her always.She attracted people and not mere people. She had people of influence and essence at her fingertips. I was very angry when I heard that she was Dan’s girlfriend. I had known Dan since high school. He was very cute and strikingly rich. Although average in height an

Anna’s POVI sat down on the dining table pondering about what Sam before he left. Smith would be at home anytime soon but I was really bothered. I thought about sharing the issue with our butler but he didn’t seem to be the right person for the task. I was better off keeping it inside my heart than talking to someone and regretting it later.I was going to wait patiently for Smith. I had no job like Sam told me and if anything bad happened to Smith, I might end up poor. I asked for everything from Smith and I survived daily with what he provided. I had my credit card but what would happen to me if we got into a big fight and he freezes it? Anything could happen. I needed to think ahead or else, the future would be really bleak for me.Like I had determined, I waited till Smith came. He announced his presence with his thick body smell. Calm down, it is not odour. Smith was very hygienic and the smell came from the fragrance he used always.“Hey, darling. You seem caught up in a daylig

Anna’s POVI could feel my heart jumping out of my chest already. I had thought of a lot of things in that same moment.“I left my hateful stepmother and my less-capable father and got married to the love of my life with no expectations that my life would be cut short after I defied his wants and forged my way into having a career. The man aimed for my heart so I would be unable to survive…”But the bullet never touched me. The car was bullet proof so the bullet could not get in. I was so glad when I saw this. I felt like running into the hands of Smith but it was very unusual that he had not asked me if I was fine. I let this go as we waited for the security personnel to come over.Our security personnel came first and I expected them to remove their guns and fight it out with the gangsters. I was surprised to see that they were smiling at each other. This shocked me as ever.“Don’t tell me that our security personnel have joined the gangsters!” I exclaimed. Smith said nothing and wa

Anna’s POV“Let’s compare our product to Empire Group’s product. If it is the same, we should find out who leaked it among our staff and sue Empire group for some other cash…” I said carefully. This was a chance to put himself up on the radar and I was fully ready to grasp this chance with both hands.“Makes sense!” Smith supported. “The problem has been highlighted and the solution has been found. I do not know why but I think the implementation would be the most serious part.”“Let’s contact headquarters!” Alexander, the operations manager said carefully. “I feel like this won’t be done only with our manpower. We need more assistance!”“Not now, Alexander…” I said carefully. “There is a spy in the headquarters. It is not among the workers in the factory. It has to be someone higher up and it would be in the headquarters. Let us discuss the solution here and implement it right here. Headquarters should never know our full plan.”“I would have loved to do that but it is quite impossib
