Kyler walk to the meeting room with Alex behind him holding a document in his hands and an ipad.
Everyone was already inside waiting for him to arrive for the meeting to start
"You don't look good President Black or should I say brother?" Thompson taunt as soon as they get in
Kyler ignore him and sit down making him as comfortable as possible
"Now we would start this meet..."
Just as they are to start soemone rush in interrupting and go to whisper into Alex's ear
He immediately turn up the big screen connecting to the new TV and everyone turn to it curious to know what's up
The news headline reads 'another illegitimate daughter of Chairman Tony Black appears and claim to be the one keeping him hidden for years'
Kyler reads the headline with an angry expression and sigh seeing Talia sitting in front of many reporters
"She must have thought this was the only way to help you" Alex whispered to him.
He switch off the TV and everyone turn their attention back to the meeting with mixed feelings now.
Thompson grunts angrily inward not liking the turn of event, he did not expect another one like himself to turn up
He thought he is the only illegitimate hidden child of Tony Black
"How did we believe this piece of news?" Mr. Giuliana questioned and few nod their head with him
"Because I can confirm she is my Father's daughter" Kyler reply getting out of the little shock
"If this is true that means President Black is innocent then"
"But what about his affair? He let the company fall into trouble without doing anything"
"We will still have the vote"
"Before that I would like to propose that my intended replacement is not fit for the position"
"What are you talking about president Black?"

During the time Kyler had investigated Veronica and find out her lies, he also discover another interesting thing
About the drug used on him and Yasmin, someone else brought the same drug and that person turn out to be Thompson Bays.
Kyler decide to investigate about him more out of curiosity and because of Yasmin
He discover other of his dark secrets and only intended to use them if necessary, like to save Yasmin from him but things played out well.
It took quite a lot of work getting his victims to come out of hiding but his reputation makes it easy and they believe his word to protect them
He has had five girls abused so far and one committed suicide after the act.
All these crimes combined is enough to get him arrested and spending long time in jail
~
"This is bullshit! You have no proof"
Kyler sneer at him and turn to Alex who gladly bring out the evidence from the documents in his hands and show them how much of a drug addict he is
"I got the supplier arrested and he mentioned your name as his first customer"
"What?"
"Although it wasn't easy I find one of the ladies to file a report against you and others follow"
"Oh..and the cops are here for you" he inform and in five seconds the door open
Five policeman entered the room with an arrest warrant and stand in front of Thompson.
Kyler stand up and a big smirk appear on his face as he walk to him
"This is my counterattack" he whisper aloud to him.
He went back to his seat as the police read out his crime and put an handcuff on him ready to take him away
"Can you wait a moment? I like Mr. Bays to see the result of the vote?" He requested and the police agree.
"Shall we vote now?" He said turning back to the board and lastly at Mr. Giuliana.
"Is there any need to now?" They wondered but decide to anyway
The result count turns out to be eighty five against the dismissal and fifteen for.
"Thank you Mr. Giuliana" Kyler told him to show Thompson Bays that he is on his side and not his anymore.
Thompson grunts angrily but the handcuff in his hands stop him from doing anything and Kyler maintain his smirk as the cops whisk him away.

Yasmin manage to stay conscious after few minutes and breathed out slowly finding it hard
She look terrified seeibg the knife in her body and try to make a yell for help but could only make a whisper
Not wanting to give up she try moving to the phone on the bed and failed
Last option was to find a way to get outside and get help but she could not move a muscle anymore and her eyes start to feel weak too difficult for her to open them.
Before she loses consciousness, she heard someone rush in and start to yell out at her
She open her eyes very briefly to see it's the security guards trying to call her and fall completely conscious seeing she might be save.

"Why did you do that?" Kyler asked Talia who stand in front of him after being done with the conference
"To buy my debt to you" she reply looking up to his gaze
"What?"
"My mum caused you alot for what she has done, I feel I shouldn't stand by when you are being accused like that"
"You did not let him die and kept him hidden for so long to make sure his illness doesnt get revealed"
"Because you wanted to protect his pride"
"I also want people to see how bad a person he was to abandon his children, it's also a repay for what my mum has gone through"
Talia breathed pausing for a moment as he just stares and allow her talk on
"I'm sorry President Black, I just want to..."
"Thank you" he breathed out.
Talia's eyes widen in surprise at his action, she thought she would be scold or get fired for taking rash decsion.
She nod her head happily and look down for few seconds before looking up again
"Can you forgive him too?"
"Huh?"
"He was just angry like I was too and wanted revenge for the suffering and sadness"
"Actually...I also came for revenge but I find out the one I came to destroy is dead, so I turn to you..."
"But then I find out you're not like him so I decided to give up but then again, I found about you and Yasmin..."
"My thoughts about you changed and I thought you will become like him, so...I helped him a bit..."
"Oh! That's a twist" Alex mouthed and Kyler shoot him a stern glare.
"I'm sorry" she apologize and walk to Alex to give him her resignation letter and rush out before he could say anything.
"You still didn't tell her it was the other woman not her mum?" Alex asked tearing up the letter
"No, as you can see she did not give me a chance"
"And why did you tear off the paper?"
"I assume you are not going to accept it"
"Why not? She betrayed my company and hand that over herself"
"You do realize she can come back to ask for shares right? This is the least you could do to appreciate"
"That's not your decision to make but mine" he said but get ignore.
"It's past eleven, do you want me to drive you home?" He asked instead
"You don't look like you want to"
"Dang, you got me"
"So you're back with Drex" Kyler ask standing up
"Yeah thanks to someone going over to plead" he teased and walk out.
Kyler chuckle and walk out after him taking his phone to call Yasmin but see lot of missed calls.

Veronica try to get into the house without getting caught by anyone and clean off her hands immediately she got into her room
She pick up her phone to delete the texts and phone call history between her and Mrs. Lander.
Her body trembles in fear as she walk to the bed and the scene of her crime plays on her head
She is not sure whether she has done the right thing killing her after all
What if she survives and report her to the police?
Then she shouldn't have showed her face or be careful not to get caught before stabbing her
Many thoughts and assumption run wild in her head and she feel like she's losing her mind
Still trembling Veronica lie under the cloth and try to get warm and perhaps get her heart warm up too.
She finally manage to fall asleep after a long tossing but a loud disturbing sound wake her up again
Veronica force her body to get down from the bed and run downstairs to see her Mum crawled to a side and her Dad standing like some giant over her
"What are you doing Dad?" She yelled to stop his raised hand from going down on her mother
Veronica go to hug her mother who is crying helplessly and turn to glare at him
"Have you lost your mind Dad? You hit her too?" She asked shock to find out
She thought he is just a scumbag who cheats on his wife but he also beats her
"Is that why you tell on me to your son-in-law?" Mr. Giuliana asked angrily
"What are you talking about?" Veronica questioned.
"You should be sorry for hitting my mother but yet you are yelling at her!" She said angry
"Do you think you are guiltless? How dare you cheat on Kyler Black? You bastard!" He yelled furiously at him
"He has all the evidence of your shameful affairs"
"I don't think you have the right to call me a bastard" Veronica resort standing up
"I am just like you, isn't that the same thing you did?" She accuse and got a slap from him
"How dare you!"
Veronica glare at him breathing heavily to avoid doing something crazy, she pull her mother from the floor and take her back to her room before going back to hers.
She has sure made the right decision to kill that woman and get Kyler back
There is no time to feel guilty now but act, she can't let herself endure this shit any longer.
