Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

Chapter 108

RYAN

Waper's expression got his family worried. His wife got off the sofa and rushed towards him, she snatched the document away from him and read through it, and when she did, her eyes widened with shock. "How did you get this?" she blurted out, her eyes radiating the fear that she felt inside.

This can only mean one thing, she knew that her husband took out money from the company, and she knows that he gambles, the same way she is the part of this crazy scheme of trying to rip me off my money.

Despite all the crazy things that Stephanie has done so far, I hoped against hope that she does not know of this and that she isn't part of their plan.

I watched her equally stand to her feet and approach her mother. She collected the document from her and read through it. "I guess it is game over then." She muttered bitterly, dropping the stack of documents on the table. "I told you all this wasn't going to work."

Shit! She knew! She was part of it.

Utterly disappointed in her, I tried not to let my expression give it away. "That's not all," I stated, drawing everyone's attention back to me. "I have something else on you Waper and just like Stephanie did, I am going to let you wonder what it might be."

"And you think I am going to believe you?" Waper spat. "I am a lawyer, you think I am going to believe anything you say without evidence?"

"You are a lawyer and a thief." I taunted. "Firstly Waper, I do not give a shit about whether you chose to believe me or not, and secondly, I have no reason to lie to you. This evidence is more than enough to have you and your entire crazy family stay off my back."

Stephanie abandoned them and rushed to my side. "I never wanted to do it, Ryan," she whispered, grabbing my hand. "whatever feeling I have shown towards you all this while has been nothing but the truth." She licked her lips, her eyes desperately pleading with me to believe her. "I love you Ryan and that is the honest truth."
