His Devious Rule



Casper, who generally takes everyone under his control by his overbearing personality, had no idea what he said when he walked out of the restaurant. 

The shareholders looked at each other. They started considering if the health of Casper had deteriorated seeing him gentle in actions and explaining to them that they shouldn't sell their shares or allow anybody to get into the organization through money.

Instead of being convinced they started to worry if Casper could take care of the company with his humble behavior. 

The Ludicrous thing was, they hated him when he was autocratic and doubted him when he was more humane.

….

Gianna had given up on getting out of the prison. Yet, she didn't utter a word to accept or refuse her doings. 

On the other hand, Janet managed to get a divorce from Wilson and the custody of her children with the evidence of Wilson threatening her with kids and how harmful he could be to their kids.

Since Wilson had nothing, Janet asked for no compensation and handed everything to her lawyers to take care of court matters.

While some people victimized her due to Wilson, most of the netizens called it karma, especially when they learned how Gianna was troubling Alvin.

It was time she had to stand strong for two kids, so she deleted her social media, refused interviews, ignored the reporters, and called quit to the entertainment industry.

She neither visited the Collins family for support nor wished to see them after slipping in her choices. Asking her agent to sell her properties, excluding a few cafes and restaurants, she left the country for good.

Elder Collins and Bernard were angry at Janet but they couldn't feign ignorance when they learned Janet left the country. 

Bernard dialed her number to find out the number was deactivated. He tried to reach Janet's kids and it was the same. He checked the social media apps and informed his father, "Dad, there is no trace of them."

Elder Collins became anxious. His breathing turned heavy, thinking of worse. He didn't have a problem if she would like to live somewhere far away. He was worried that Janet might do something to herself and the kids after the humiliation she had been through. 

Bernard's wife rushed to Elder Collins and tried to calm him, "Dad, you have to calm down. We will ask Alvin. He will find out. Dad…."

Bernard couldn't possibly hide Janet from his father. So he fetched medicines for Elder Collins as he said, "I will call Anya." Because Anya was more sensible and would understand their intention.

In five minutes, Anya informed them that Janet went to the beautiful city named Landsfed, which had a famous drama, stage, and theater school.

Anya didn't have to further elaborate on the details as Janet studied in that school. They easily guessed she was going to be an acting coach there.

Anya refused to find contact details of Janet. Janet needed a new beginning and time to heal. Maybe in a decade or just a few years, Janet might visit them on her own.

Bernard and Elder Collins gave in reluctantly and calmed their nerves. None of them entertained the media company or reporter requesting their interview.

….

In Skylar,

Alvin was sitting on the couch with an iPad in his left hand, seriously reading about the history of artifacts and auction items his team made a list of.

His right hand, wrapped around Anya, leaning her to him. His fingers played with her hair, caressed her cheek, and traced the edges of her ear. 

Anya ended the call with Elder Collins and looked at her husband who had kept track of Janet and refused to tell her the reason. 

Was he worried about Janet? Or doubting her?

She didn't ask him and made him uncomfortable. Instead, glanced at his iPad and mused, "My dear husband, you should follow me around." A silly smile appeared on her face.

He could read and do his work around her. Couldn't he?

Alvin's lips threatened to arc upon hearing her. She stole his words. First, it was a world tour, then following her around. His wife has her way of giving him hints.

Alvin mentally decided to complete the work that needs his signature on files. "Can't wait." He could take her and his little enemy to all his thirteen museums and archaeological sites to show her his work.

Flirting with him, Anya had dozed off when Rob knocked on the door and paused at his sight.

Alvin pointed at the armchair, Rob fetched the throw and handed it to Alvin who tucked Anya and nodded at Rob to report to him.

Rob shifted close to Alvin and lowered his voice, "Daniel Matthews visited the police station. He is here to meet- You." He glanced at Anya by the end of his words. He didn't think Alvin would meet Daniel by disturbing Anya's sleep.

Alvin was hoping for Casper to hand everything to Daniel as he was the only other Matthews who qualified to be in a good position. Then Alvin could have watched all the Matthews being cornered like ants in a hole to protect their lives.

To their insults and psychological torture when Alvin was living in Matthews mansion, Daniel should be avoiding him like a deadly virus.

Why was Daniel there? 

If Daniel wanted to laugh at their family, he should choose Liam. Was Daniel there to convince Alvin to take the case back?

Curious, Alvin nodded as he responded softly, "Get him to the waiting room." Then he got back to his work to finalize the artifacts and auction items.

After half an hour, Anya woke up from her power nap and stretched her arms. She mumbled when he kissed on her forehead, "You are spoiling me." She wasn't being productive but lazing in his presence.

He couldn't indulge her with anything he could buy. If sitting with her is spoiling her, he could do it every day without getting tired.

Checking the time, Anya quickly pecked his cheek and went to wash her face. It was time to pick up her son from school.

When she came out, she saw a man in his early thirties, standing in front of Alvin. The man who was indulging her was crossing his legs, arrogantly peering at the man.

As soon as landed in Narnia, Daniel got to know Benjamin was arrested. Without changing his casual wear, he rushed to the police station. The lawyers failed to get him bail and Benjamin was under custody for interrogation.

Casper hadn't visited Benjamin even once. Thus Benjamin sent Daniel to Alvin. Facing the man who he used to bully, calling him a bastard, unwanted, a stray cat, Daniel could only clench his teeth with a brazen face.

Daniel involuntarily looked at the lady who entered the room. She was wearing a brown chunky knitted oversize sweater with ripped black denim, paired with brown boots. Her gray eyes sparkled brighter than the chunky diamond on her ring finger. She wasn't extraordinary but splendid in her simplicity.

Alvin narrowed his eyes at the man who was staring at his wife. Why does his Goofball capture the attention of men despite being so modest? He was itching to gouge out the ogling eyes of the man.
