  79. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

He played with my hair as I listened to him silently.

“After getting out of the jail, Antonio thought nothing would happen to him again. But he was wrong. I couldn’t let him live peacefully when he tried to hurt my Rosebud. So, I destroyed him to pieces this time. This time, no one in the world can save him from his doom. And today was Arthur’s turn. I knew he was going to do something after the final signing. And I was just waiting for him to take the step so I could grab him by his neck and catch him red-handed, ruining him with his own strategy.”

“You said you knew he was going to meet Ivanov. How? And when did Antonio try to hurt me?”

SEVENTY-THREE: A JEALOUS MAN

His pupils darkened in rage. “You remember the accident when we were returning from the house I bought for us? The first time I took you there?”

My eyes widened. “H-he was behind it?”

He nodded, a muscle of his jaw ticked. “It was him. Even though I was his target, he shouldn’t have involved you in this.”

I let out a breath.

So that was the reason behind his intense hatred towards Antonio. That’s why he was so mad at Tess’s wedding when Antonio came to meet me.

“When Arthur brought up the Russian’s offer to me, his desperation for me to sign it and let him become the head of this project had me suspicious. So, I had his phone tapped. To know what was brewing in his shrewd head. And I was right. I found out about his intention for the project while he discussed it with Ivanov on the phone. But as cunning as he was, he never unfolded his whole plan to him. Until this morning, when everything in his path was clear for him to go ahead.”

But he did tell Ivanov about killing him. Ivanov knew it except being aware of how Arthur was going to pull it off.

“You knew he was going to kill you after the signing? I thought you told me you weren’t aware of it.”

“I knew, but I didn’t know how he was going to do it. What his exact plan was. But I found out about his stupid master plan when he was with Ivanov this morning. We were listening to everything he was saying from the conference room.”

“We?” I raised my brow.

“Me, Duncan and Mr. Balakin.”

“Duncan and Mr. Balakin?” I was shocked. They knew everything? That explained why Duncan was there.
