She was traveling to City B and in the way was a long roadway, there were no residential areas around and just dense forest alongside the road.

She was having very few bodyguards for they didn"t want anyone to know about her arrival in the city, as it would alert her other rivals. Only Sofi, Aria, and the driver and one bodyguard present were in the car.

Suddenly they heard a piercing noise and the car stopped after some time. Someone had shot a bullet into the car"s tire and thus the car stopped in the middle of the road.

As soon as the driver got out of the car to see what had happened to the car, numerous men, wearing black clothes, came out of the woods and knocked out the driver and the bodyguard who had got out of the car to protect her. They released a gas inside the car that put both of them to sleep and they took her away.

*After an hour*

Aria woke up and felt stinging pain all over her body, it felt as if someone was tearing her skin apart. She cried in pain and slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbed due to the gas that they had inhaled earlier. She noticed that her hands were tied to a chair and she had got various scars all over her body, she didn"t know where they came from.

She saw a number of black figures standing in front of her. When her eyes adjusted the light, she could see what those figures were. Troy, Noah, and the others were standing in front of her and had guns in their hand, they all looked serious. Suddenly she felt as if something stabbed into her body and she groaned in pain. Sam walked from behind her chair and faced her. He had a belt in his hand that had sharp nails embedded all over it, this explained the scars. He had a smile of satisfaction over his face.

"You"re finally sitting in front of me, crying in pain." He said and bend down to her. She chuckled and they all were confused at her sudden reaction.

"You really think you can defeat me like this." She said and her expressions suddenly turned sinister.

"I have the power you always wanted so you can tell that I am capable of doing anything, even if I"m sitting here alone, don"t be so stupid Sam." She said and her words offended him even more and he slapped the belt on her body multiple times, she didn"t scream and just closed her eyes. Troy stopped him and said that it would cause trouble for them if she died.

"Is that all you got?" She asked and opened her eyes as he stopped hitting her.

"Have you ever considered what you"ll do after this? If you let me live I"ll ruin you and if you kill me these wounds would give away the fact that I was murdered. You"re going down either way." She said and tried to scare him.

"I"m gonna take away what"s mine, the power that has made you so proud." He said and announced his next move.

"You gotta be kidding me." She smirked and looked away.

"You really think that after knowing the fact that you"re still alive I"ll let that power be so easy to achieve by anyone." She asked him and this made sense.

"Let me tell you a secret," She said and looked at him, tilting her head a bit.

"I don"t hold anything in the Rong Empire." She said and he got the biggest blow.

"Everything is owned by Crystal and James and I"m just controlling the business being the daughter of the previous head. I can be removed anytime they want. So even if you kill you won"t gain a single penny and they won"t give you anything even if you threatened them by holding me captive." She said and it was clearly a lie, she just said it to anger him for she knew that he wanted that power a lot.

He couldn"t process so much information at the same time. He was angered that he was played again, he planned it out for so long and risked his life for it and now he was standing at a dead end again.

"No... this can"t happen" He murmured to himself.

"I"m sorry, I can"t hear you." She asked him and was fed up with his drama.

"You can"t do this." He said a bit louder.

"I planned it out for so long." He continued and started pacing back and forth.

"I did so many bad things. just to get this power." He started trembling.

"I framed you multiple times. I murdered David, your mother, and your father just for that power. I tortured you your whole life but all in vain now. I even got both of my useless sons back just to defeat you." He admitted all his deeds without even realizing it.

She smiled for she had finally achieved a victory. Noah heard everything and now believed her and Troy was just shocked about hearing that he used his sons. They both didn"t even know that he was talking about him.

"This can"t be happening now." He said and was losing his mind due to the sudden blow.

"It"s all because of you." He said and suddenly stopped walking and pointed at her.

"You did all this." He said and looked frightful.

"You"re the root of all the problems. So..." He said and put his hand at his back.

"You have to die." He said and took out his gun.

"It doesn"t matter if I get the power or not you"re dying today." He said and laid his finger at the trigger.

"You know what your weakness is..." She said and stared at him without any fear.

"You never doubt your decisions and just go on blaming others." She said and he looked frightened. All his men, including Troy and Noah, took out their guns and they were aimed at him. She double crossed him...
