The Fall of Reeds GroupÂ

I was in my office sipping wine and staring at the wallclock. Any moment now he would burst in and I’d watch him wallow in misery then finally announce to the board members the truth aboutÂ
Maple Group.Â
‘Are you sure he’ll know it’s you?” Damon asked me.Â
nodded, “I’m positive.”Â
No sooner had those words left my lips that the door was suddenly thrown open.Â
My assistant Ginny stood before the door with a somber expression.Â
I tried to stop him, Miss but he wouldn’t listen,” she said.Â
Donald was standing there in a disheveled suit. He looked like death with his scattered hair andÂ
unken eyes.Â
You’re the anonymous investor,” he said without a doubt.Â
shared a knowing look with Damon and smirked, “I told you he’d figure this out.”Â
Then he went down on his knees and started sobbing pathetically.Â
f he hadn’t hurt me and ruined my family maybe I would have had an ounce of pity for him butÂ
s I stared at him all I felt was a smug happiness.Â
Please, Kira, have mercy. Save my company,” he cried.Â
burst into laughter, “Why should I save your company? When you killed my parents and ruined ny life did you think twice?”Â
Donald kept crying, “I’m sorry. Please have mercy, please forgive me.”Â
ignored him and looked away, “I just wanted you to know that I was the reason why you ucceeded at all. Now get out of my office.”Â
ie went to Damon, “Please, save our father. He’s collapsed and is in the hospital. If you don’t ave us we’ll lose the company. We’ll lose everything.”Â
Damon shrugged, “That’s exactly what I want especially since he stole everything he has from ny mother.”Â
tapped my phone and grinned, “Oh look, it’s already made the news. The Reeds Empire has allen. The bank has foreclosed on all assets including bank accounts.Â
Please, Kira, have mercy. My father is dying,” he cried.Â
shrugged, “Maybe if you can admit to everything you’ve done to me then I will let you off.”Â
‘I’m sorry we killed your family and ruined your life,” Donald said sobbing.Â
He spent the next thirty minutes begging and crying and asking me to forgive him as he admitted to everything he’s ever done to me and my family, calling the names of my uncle, Troy, and Lily.Â
When he finished I turned my ipad to face him and grinned.Â
“You’re live, say hi, I laughed.Â

Donald was stunned, he didn’t know he had been confessing to the entire world.Â
“How could you do this to me?” he cried.Â
The sound of the police siren sounded and no sooner they arrived in my office and grabbed him.Â
‘Mr. Donald Reeds, you’re under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder, murder accomplice and other charges which will be read to you. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney if you can’t afford one the state will give you one…”Â
The policeman read his rights to him as they handcuffed him and dragged him out like a common criminal.Â
The moment he was gone I heaved a sigh of relief. It felt like something had been lifted from my shoulders.Â
he world had seen my story and heard the truth now no one would spread lies about me or my ate parents again.Â
The door opened and Ginny walked inside with a smile.Â
You did it, Miss,” she said.Â
shook my head and stared at her and Damon, “No, we did it together.”Â
here was a short knock and the board members walked inside. They all had a somber xpression on their faces.Â
We owe you an apology,” one of them said.Â
We were blinded and manipulated by your uncle and cousin,” another added.Â
We should have seen the truth and known that you are the true heiress of this company,’Â
nother said.Â
But now we have nothing but regrets because the Maple Group is bankrupt and we’ve all ruined what your father kept for you,” they concluded.Â
stared at them and smiled, “Thank you for the apology. I don’t hold anything against any of you. ‘ou all were just pawns that Lily and her father used. But Maple Group isn’t bankrupt.”Â
I like how you’re trying to be positive about this, child, but there’s no trace of anything in our inances and we can’t even say what happened to it,” one of the board members said.Â
smirked, “I had Ginny liquidate the account to one of our shell companies when I found out what Donald and the rest were planning. Maple Group isn’t bankrupt, we have all our money andÂ
wereÂ
nore.”Â
