Chapter 12 - the purge
As soon as Marisol and little Daisy were taken away safely, Caleb strode into his private office. He untied his bowtie, throwing it hard onto the mahogany desk. The atmosphere in the room instantly became incredibly suffocating.
Standing before him was Marcus, the head of security for the Blackwell empire. "Sir, Ms. Celeste has been thrown out of the mansion. Do we need to reclaim the assets gifted to her family?"
"Reclaim everything," Caleb ordered coldly, his eyes darkening. "Freeze all bank accounts, cancel all business contracts with the Vale corporation. I want that family bankrupt before noon tomorrow."
Marcus nodded, taking notes quickly. Betrayal and lies were absolute taboos in Caleb's world. Celeste didn't just ruin a cake; she had smeared his honor in front of the elite.
"One more thing," Caleb lowered his voice, a glint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "Investigate the entire background of that maid. Her name is Marisol. I want to know why she had to bring her young child to work."
