Revelation

Henderson group of conglomerate.

"So what are you going to do now", Emily asked Lucian who had regained his composure and was now sitting on the swivel chair calmly in his usual cold and noble demeanor as if the part of him that almost broke down just now was a mirage.

"I've realized in this world,one have the desire to yearn and possess everything but not everything is meant to be ours you can't have your cake and eat it",

"That's good",Emily noded.

"So now this chapter is closed,everything that transpired between I and Mia is now in the past, she is now considered a brief interlude in my life so from this moment henceforth Mia and I are strangers ", Lucian replied solemnly."I know feelings don't die easily but I'll try my utmost best to curb it ".

"I'll stand by your side ,I'll help you",Emily said and Lucian flashed her a sincere and grateful smile.

Mia entered the restaurant with an annoyed expression on her face, she walked towards the man who was sitting quietly by the window side emanating a cold and vicious aura.

"What is it again Mr Mark?", Mia asked rudely.

Mark didn't reply but rather he gesture toward the chair asking her to sit down.

"I never knew you were so daft and stupid", Mark said as soon as Mia sat down,his voice laced with iciness.

"Oh ,you're here to hurl insults at me because I confronted Lucian right but I have no time to listen to your nonsense", Mia hissed impatiently.

"So you really believe in him that much even after the evidences I presented"Mark shook his head in disappointment.

"This topic again ,please excuse me I'll pass", she stood up ready to leave.

"Here", Mark place the arrays of documents on the table. "You believed him blindly ,you think Lucian and I are framing him then check this out.

"The same nefarious scheme again please spare me your baseless theories and accusations",Mia replied sternly.

"Baseless?", Mark laughed pouring himself a coffee."since you believe him so much then you might as well as check those documents out and scheming against Leonard,tch, tch, he's not worthy".

"You!", Mia pointed her hands at in accusingly.

"I don't have all day to waste Miss O'Connor",Mark cut her off coldly pointing to the documents urging her to take it.

"And if I refuse?",replied stubbornly.

"Then you can't leave, until this issue is settled you're not allowed to leave", Mark smiled nugding her to look at the bodyguards who were standing surreptitiously by the side."don't blame me for the poor treatment I already predict you'll will be stubborn and unwilling to listen so I just had to".

"Why exactly are you up to Mr Mark?", Mia questioned.

"I'm not here to point out the adulterous pair to you but rather I'm here to clear Lucian's name,I don't want any wild comments flying around,so please let's make this discussion snappy",he gestured to her to take her seat.

Mia sat down begrudgingly left with no choice she picked up the documents.

"You tampered with his telephone?",Mia asked twirling the USB and call records documents.

"Yeah, ever since I overheard their conversation, I made preparations for all this,as I was in a hurry the last time,I didn't manage to gather all evidence hence the misunderstanding", Mark answered.

"And so . ."

"Watch the videos and you'll be able to tell if it's faux and besides here is the evidence of their infidelity, the hotel's log book from the several hotels they've visited", Mark explained placing the documents before her.

Once bitten twice shy, refusing to be tricked the second time she hissed and didn't even spare the documents a glance.

"Since you think it's fake and you believe in him so much,why don't you check the evidences since you have nothing to fear", Mark said passing her the laptop.

"Sure",Mia replied and reached for the documents and opened it,it was indeed a hotel log book from various hotels with both Eddie and Leonard signature.

She shook her head,she could not believe such evidence not when it was coming from Leonard's arch nemesis.

"You don't believe that either", Mark laughed."then take a look at the videos I have here",he shifed the laptop to her line of sight.

The first file she opened was a video dated two days ago, she clicked on it and her expression immediately went cold, colder than ice.

It was the video of both Eddie and Leonard engaging in carnal activities,the next video was also the same, several videos of them in several hotels,with the dates recorded.

She closed the laptop breathing heavily,her mind a mess.

"There's still more, Miss", Mark said to the shaking Mia.

It was the same video but this was of the previous night,the videos and images pierced straight into her heart shattering her soul.

"Do you still think we're framing him?", Mark asked.

Mia kept quiet unable to reply,she was wished it was faux but the evidences presented said otherwise,it was indisputable.

"One last more to understand everything, listen to this", Mark said.

. . .

"Of course I'm not joking, the lawyer just left few minutes ago, I am now the highest shareholder of the O'Connor corporation".

"Yes,all I have to do now is to merge the two companies together, with the power of the O'Connor corporation I can gather allies to defeat Lucian and fulfill my dreams".

. . .

Mia covered her ears with her hands to block the sound which further haunted her with each echoes,she sobbed unremittingly, her world was crumbling right before her.

"How did things get to this",she cried.

"So can you understand everything now, they both have been cheating on you even before Lucian arrived in this country, Eddie drugged you and colluded with the waiter so as to get evidence of your infidelity to tarnish your reputation and separate you and Leonard", Mark explained.

"Leonard on the other side only loved you for the shares and inheritance,the only one he truly loves is Eddie",he added.

"Stop it. . . just stop",Mia yelled helplessly,each of his utterances crushing her soul further.

Mark glanced at his beeping cellphone,the message eliciting a deep sigh from him.he shook his head gazing at the pitiful girl.

"So why are you doing all these,why are you telling me all. . "

"To clear Lucian's reputation of course, and here this is my final gift for you",he passed her a card which she accepted after a while of hesitation.

"Orange high regency hotel,room R4019,".he added."lest I forget you need to promise me something".

"What?",the heartbroken Mia asked.

"From now henceforth, I don't want to see you anywhere near the Henderson building or office nor do I want to see you near Lucian, promise?".

"I promise",she replied and Mark left.

Then she finally lose her composure,she cried until her tearsduct were thus left incapable of producing any more moisture and the once beautiful orbs that adorned her eyes socket were now reduced to the size of a raisins.

Finally she left the restaurant and left for the hotel.
