My dream was initially to go into medicine and become a medical doctor, until one day, my father. suddenly had the brilliant idea to leave all of his company’s top managerial positions under my name, desperate knowing that I had no interest in anything business.

I refused the position at first, but when I saw how desperately my father wanted me to take over from him, I was left with no other choice but to take over the position and get into construction instead

of medicine.

I was confused when my father initially offered the company to me. I genuinely wanted to understand why he was handing it over, despite the fact that he was still able to keep running the company without me.

I had thought that he just wanted to have control over me, but his response surprised me instead.

“I’m giving you everything because I want to pursue my dreams as well, Richard. I’m already over sixty, and I haven’t even fulfilled one of my biggest wishes yet,” he stated.

“Well, of course, my most important dream is to see you get married and start a family, but besides that, there is something your mother and I have always wanted to try doing, and we don’t want to become too old before we go for it,” he explained.

After hearing what he had to say and why he transferred the company to me, I found myself accepting the situation and forgetting what I had initially wanted to be.

My parent’s relationship was something I envied a lot, even though I personally did not think that

love and relationships were for me, and I also have no interest in pursuing love.

I just wasn’t fond of the idea of falling in love and giving my all to anyone, because to me, love wasn’t for everyone, and I wouldn’t be caught dead pouring out my heart to someone who could easil

betray me.

After taking over the company, Kayden and I became rivals. He was somebody that I knew already before

I got into construction, but he and I weren’t friends at all, mostly because I didn’t see him as

somebody worthy enough to be my friend.

didn’t think was that when he and I became rivals, he would go as far as playing dirty, just because he looked down on me and thought that I could not handle being in the construction business.

My first month as the new CEO had been very crazy, because not only did Kayden do everything that he could to sabotage me and my company, but he also went as far as starting up lies that almost forced

my father to come out of retirement.

Everyone judged and condemned me, calling me a good–for–nothing who was simply too lazy to do

something noteworthy and was trying to leech on my father’s success.

Every news outlet in the country condemned and crucified me for almost ruining my family business, and all of this has simply happened because Kayden thought of me as easy prey that he could easily

get rid of.

I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get back at him, and for someone like me who could

be very spiteful, I had no intention of getting back at him in a subtle way.

I planned to do everything possible to ruin his life and turn him into the good–for–nothing he made

me out to be when we met.

I didn’t think the perfect opportunity would come as soon as I wanted it to, until one day, my

assistant came into my office and delivered news that I was not expecting.

“Kayden Black just announced that he was divorcing his wife,” he said, and I frowned. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“And how is that our business? How is his marriage or divorce going to be of any usefulness to me?” I

asked, wondering why my assistant would come to me with such unnecessary information.

“Well, sir, I can assure you that you might like this information, because the reason behind his

divorce from that woman is something you won’t even expect,” he said, and I almost could not believe

how ridiculous he sounded.

I just mentioned that I wasn’t interested in Kayden’s personal life, yet, he was still talking about

1. it.

I was about to scold him again when he continued speaking. “According to a certified source, Mr. Black had gotten a divorce because his wife caught him having sex with her younger sister in his office,” he explained, and I could not believe what I was hearing.

“I did a little bit of digging and found out that he and his wife’s younger sister have been dating secretly for a long time but had never been caught until a few days ago. Instead of apologizing to

hic wife ha daridad to cot a diuna from har Fuan anino ne far se announcing the diverre the navt

his wife, he decided to get a divorce from her. Even going as far as announcing the divorce the next day after he was caught with his sister–in–law,” he explained, causing me to shake my head in

disbelief.

I wasn’t exactly surprised that he was that kind of bastard, but I had at least thought that he would be a little more protective of his reputation. The fact that he had his sister–in–law as his mistress

was pretty messed up, and it only fueled my belief that the man was a madman.

“At least he was sorry enough to get a divorce and let go of his wife. However, this story is still

not something that has to do with me, and it’s also not something that has to do with my need for

revenge against him,” I pointed out, wondering where my assistant was going with this.

“Well, according to what I heard, there is a rumor that he is going to shamelessly marry his

ex–wife’s sister, and I also heard from a friend that his mistress may be already pregnant with his

child, which is why they’re desperate to get married,” he explained.

“Now, sir, what better way to get your revenge than to take this opportunity and use his own mistake

as a weapon against him? I personally think this is your perfect chance to throw him off and make hin

pay for humiliating you,” he added, and even though I hadn’t thought of it that way before, it

definitely dawned on me that I now had the perfect opportunity.
