Chapter 450
Chapter 450:
His mouth hung open as he drew in deep gasps of air, looking like he was suffocating. With difficulty, he managed to nod, so I let him go.
I leaned against the edge of the table, crossing my arms casually like I hadn’t just tried to kill him. I gave him some time to catch his breath and regain stability. “Now, let’s talk. What happened to the funds p>
Fifteen minutes later, I was done with Gregory and exited the building. The funds would be recovered and sent to Caden. Then he could do whatever he wanted to Gregory. It was out of my hands.
“Would you like to grab some food, ma’am? It’s lunchtime,” my assistant said as we settled in the car.
I turned on my laptop without looking at her. “I’m fine, Bianca p>
Arriving at Céleste Couture, where I was the CEO, I made my way to my office, telling Bianca I didn’t want to be disturbed for the next hour.
I was exhausted. Gregory was the third man I had to visit today on Caden’s orders, and I still had one more to visit in the evening. I hated being his messenger—the one he sent when he wanted to kill someone or get results he knew would take longer with his men.
It was crazy how, for the past six months, Caden had gradually made himself King over these people. Well, I was sure they saw it coming when they decided to split from the high ranks. They called themselves the Dregs. The numbers had been quite large. Although Caden ruled with an iron fist, he had made the place prosperous. But the people were very scared of him. He wasn’t your regular King—not the type you could reason with when you had issues.
The only way he’d managed to keep everyone under his foot was by being nice to their Alphas. He gave them treatments that made them feel like kings; hence, their people couldn’t object even when Caden treated them badly. The guy was worse than a snake.
Opening one of the drawers in my office, I took out a file, flipped it open, and pulled out the picture I had hidden in it. Suddenly, the stress of the day seemed to vanish—like it always did—as soon as my eyes met it.
I dropped the file and held the picture with both hands. A smile touched my lips as I ran my fingers along the edges of it. It was a picture of my kids, holding hands as they walked out of their school together.

Xyla was pulling at Xylon’s ear with a pout, probably upset about something he did. And her brother, always the cold one, didn’t seem to mind her or feel a thing she did.
I laughed at the thought of it. I couldn’t think of a more perfect picture. Gods, I missed them so much. But it brought me so much joy to know they’ve been doing fine over there. They were the reason I’d been able to stay sane despite the madness surrounding me, the reason I’d been able to live through each torturous day.
A tear escaped my eye, joining the smile on my face. Holding the picture to my chest, I leaned back in my seat and dozed off.
