• Chapter 5

  • On the day the plane took off, I wasn’t on the flight to the UK.

  • Instead, I left the airport dressed as the stand in bride.

  • I even passed Ethan, but he didn’t notice me.

  • I went to Hudson Corporation.

  • I struck a deal with its CEO, Daniel Hudson:

  • I would provide Ford’s secrets, and he would help me take down Ford Enterprises.

  • Of course, how far we went–whether it was just a warning or total destruction–depended on the quality of the information I provided and how the plan unfolded.

  • The results were better than expected.

  • Daniel and I were both pleased–in just three months, Ethan was left reeling.

  • Over half of Ford’s key employees had been poached by Hudson.

  • Many of them had worked for my father, so Daniel made me a general manager.

  • I didn’t want to be in the spotlight, so Daniel gave me an office with one–way glass.

  • I could see everyone, but they couldn’t see me.

  • They started calling me “the Witch” behind my back.

  • Gradually, my days were filled with work.

  • My hatred fueled me–I wanted to destroy Ethan, to make him feel the pain my father had felt when his company collapsed.

  • The once broken, suicidal Emily was gone, replaced by a woman driven by vengeance.

  • Sometimes, I felt Daniel watching me.
