At precisely three p.m. my car drove down the quiet road across town. Not only
had it been a side of the area I rarely ever visited but I guess today was an
exception. It would probably be the first and last time that I do to be honest and I
was only with that.
The towering building made entirely out of glass and stood proud and tall like a
looming figure over the rest of its surrounding architectured counterparts was
exactly that reason I had been here. Well, more the person who
owned it.
I found a parking spot close by to the entrance of the building and wasted no time
in cutting the engine and getting out of the car but not forgetting the large yellow
envelope that I had brought along with me and which had been the entire reason
that I was here to begin with.
Scott was not expecting me at all and I would much rather prefer it that way. He
had not the slightest of idea that I had found out his true motive, intentions, and
face, and I would not have it any other way. The more oblivious his had been to
my knowledge the greater he would crash when I dropped a major bomb on him
ruining his every plan that he ever had in mind to ruin me and the company.
The all black look I had going on was really a perfect one for this occasion. With
the envelope in my hand and determination set firmly on my mind, I headed up to
the front doors where a door man held open the door for meer.
I didn’t bother to make a stop at the receptionists desk and announce my
presence, instead I went right to the escalator and I took a lucky guess that Scott
was on the highest floor where he would have most likely set up his personal
office and boardroom.
The man appeared to be too fragile on his ego and manhood to allow any one to
even try and be above him let alone his employees divisions. I scoffed finding
myself humoured at how pathetic Scott really was. I should have known my uncle
would have had a greater cause to refuse him and not just put of sentiment and
all that bull shit
Scott had fed me.
The elevator pinged open snapping me out and away from my thoughts. I
stepped out my with my left heeled foot before the right and stalked confidently to
the end of the large floor until I stopped at an oak door with a
Plaque proudly printed with Scott's name then stating that he had been the CEO
of the company.
I tapped my fingers against the door lightly three times before my hand reached
for the handle and twisted until it unlocked. The door opened and I stood there
revealing myself and also causing Scott to turn away from the glass window he
had been looking out of.

Hmmm, maybe he was prepared for my arrival, I thought wryly.

His eyes widened slightly at the sight of me. “Sophia? What are you doing here?”
He asked and it was clear as day that he was very thrown off by my coming here.
I plastered a fake smile on my face before stepping further in to his office and
shutting the door behind me.
“Can't I stop by to speak to a good friend?” I asked tightly and saw him eye me
assessingly like he could sense some thing was of but despite that, Scott still
maintained his usual neutral, jolly demeanor.
“Of course, of course. Take a seat, please. I'll have some refreshments brought
up for you.” He immediately began to scurry but I shook my head.
“That won't be necessary at all, Scott.” I said right before slamming the yellow
envelope on to his desk.
The motion sent a whoosh of air blowing against a few papers on his desk but it
had also grasped his attention.
My expression was no longer friendly and light but truly expressing of my inner
fury and temper. Scott had seen it too when he glanced from the envelope on his
desk to me and that was when he had risen to his full height.
“What is this?" He asked in thick tone as he reached for it.
“Open it and find out for yourself.” I spat out and he all but tore the end of the
envelope of before he had coaxed the bounded papers out.
He removed the first page aside then proceeded to scan through the first page
with a deep frown between his brows but that frown disappeared when he had
made sense of what exactly what happening.
“What the-" He muttered before throwing the papers across the desk. It slid then
stopped right at the edge just shy of falling of the desk entirely.
Scott lifted his eyes to glare at me murderously. His eyes weds pitch black, his
jaw stiff and taut, and his hands balling in to fists on either side of him.
“You can't do this to me, Sophia. You have no reason to. I am your friend, your
ally. I always have been. This is
baseless and absolutely absurd!” He bellowed causing me to wince but not
because I was scared of him but the
increased octave of his tone hurt my ears.
“Oh, but I can.” I sauntered over the the glass wall that over looked the street and
much of the city. “You see, a

thief of ten days is bound to be caught one day and, sadly for you, your day has
arrived” I taunted but Scott being himself still had the nerve to pretend like he
didn’t know what I was saying
“What are you talking about, Sophia? I do not understand where this is coming
from.” He actually scoffed looking at me like I had lost my mind.
“Then allow me to enlighten you.” I took in a deep breath getting the hint of
detergent and polish. “There was more to the reason that my uncle didn’t want
you to join the company while he had been alive, isn't it?” I paused, narrowing my
eyes at him and waiting for him to respond or react, whichever came first.
When he didn't I decided to get this on with and concluded once and for all.
“That story you fed me was a lie. You had plans of your own for the company and
it was why my uncle refused to let you any where close to it. You were the one
responsible for the horrible state of had been in when he had been sick. You
assumed he had no family or children of his own to pass the company on to and
that was when you would swoop on and snatch it at the lowest possible cost.”
With each word that left my mouth, I watched his face grow harder and bitter until
he had dropped the act completely and accepted his role as the villain.
“When I came in to the company, you saw it as the perfect chance to try again
and I didn’t know better and allowed you approval but not any more.” I reminded
him, glancing at the papers he nearly threw of his desk in his fit of anger.
Scott's jaw clenched tightly before his balled up fists slammed against the desk
with such violent force that it
had sent the contents of his desk bobbing up then back down from the force.
“Yes! Damn it! I did all those things but it was only because I wanted his
company. I had great plans for it but your uncle was too stubborn to listen to it
and he shut it down at every turn. It was painful watching make some decisions
and of he had just listened to me I would have soared the company to far higher
ranks than he ever
could.” Scott utter each word with intent and so much of anger. No
I realised in the moment just how greedy Scott had been. He had unimaginable
wealth of his own and yet he was still after a company that got away from him
solely for the reason that he couldn't have a say in it.
My gosh, if ever there was a child stuck in the body of a man throwing a tantrum
for not getting his every whim
and desire satisfied.
“Well, now you are no longer a part of my company in any way whatsoever.” I
announced proudly.
It was shocking to think that at one point I was willing to do any thing to get Scott
Vanderbilt as part of the

company and here I was proudly renouncing his seat at the company entirely
feeling more relief than remorse.
“You will regret this, Sophia.” He warned me with a dangerous gleam flashing
across his black eyes.
I laughed lightly not being able to take him seriously as I made my way for the
door now. “But I won't and I do warn you about trying any thing against me or my
company from here on out. That girl, Taylor, that you paid a lot of money to to set
me up, I know what else you did to her.” I saw his nostril twitch at the mention of
her name and the indication to the crime he had commited against her.
“Not only Taylor but a bunch of other underage women that you had taken
advantage off and shoved money at them to shut them up. Now, imagine if the
evidence of this mysteriously got out just how ruined you would be.” He was still
furious but I could sense his fear for the first time since I had known the man and
I revelled in it.
It felt empowering to know that I had out this man in his place before he could
have gotten too far with his agenda.
Scott didn’t say another word and I didn't think he was capable of it because he
was too stunned to speak.
“Anyways, I hope we never cross paths again and that you keep my warning in
mind.” With that, I left his office shutting the door behind me loudly before I
sauntered out that floor and the building entirely.
The next thing on my to-do list was to find Dante and tell him all about what the
hell had happened in the time that he refused to take my calls.
