Darien was boiling with anger, he was about to explode. He walked as fast as he could, he left the company without saying a word to anyone. He went to the car park and he spotted his car immediately.

He entered his car and he was getting more angry. His brain was not thinking straight and all he planned to do is to reach Arizona.

He took his phone from his pocket and he dialed Arizona's number. She didn't answer, he dialed it multiple times and there was still no reply.

He probably thought she was ignoring him. He was getting mote angry, he dialed her number again and she finally picked.

"Where are you?!" He sounded very dangerous.

He frowned his face and he felt like killing her from the phone. He wished they could create a phone that could strangle people's neck, from just a phone call.

"I am sipping coffee at my house." She responded with a sly voice.

She already knew why he called her. He had never called her and she probably guessed, that idiot Ivy had told him what she had said.

She made sure she hanged the phone, before he did. Darien scoffed, she made him more angry. He started the car and drove as fast as he could.

He knew Arizona house quiet well. She placed her address at his table, after she came back from abroad.

He drove for about twenty five minutes. He parked his car in her compound, since the gate was opened.

He cooled his head before he went in. He knew he was very angry and he didn't want to do anything stupid. After few minutes, he left his car. He walked into her house and he stood by the door. He was panting hard but made sure it wasn't obvious. He ranged the door bell and he waited patiently for her reply.

Arizona heard the door bell and she already knew who it was. She smirked, she took her cup of coffee and she opened the door.

"I was waiting for you." She smirked and she had a sly voice.

He snapped the coffee out of her hand with force. She groaned in shock and she stared at the broken pieces of ceramic. She laughed evily and she faced opposite him. She saw he was boiling with anger and it wasn't safe for her to be with him.

He walked closer to her and he was a cm away from her. Her heart was beating very fast. For the first time, she was this close to him. She widened her eyes and she stared at him with love. She touched his hard, muscular chest. She closed her eyes and she felt like giving herself completely to him. She was desiring to off her clothes and sleep with this handsome man she had desired for years. She rose her leg and she tightened her eyes, she was about kissing him.

Before she could do anything, he pushed her to the white wall at their left. He pinned her by holding her shoulders tightly. He frowned his face and he gave her a dangerous look. She was extremely startled. For the first time, he vented his anger at her.

"If you cross the line next time, I will make sure to rip you off." He threatened her dangerously. "I will forget about this, but just know that if this ever happens, I will file for a restraining order and reveal all of your father's bad activities in the company to the police. Get it!"

She was so startled and she actually felt nervous. She began to tremble and she hoped she made it alive. She nodded her head out of fear and he didn't bother saying a word.

He left her shoulders, he walked out of her house. She was still traumatized and she had finally lost all hope.

Darien entered his car and he felt a little bit peaceful. Before he declared his peace, he had to go somewhere. He started his car and drove out of her house.

He checked the time while he was driving. Williams had to be at his office by now. He drove towards Williams office. It was the chairperson office. He had his office separated from DDC, and most people that worked there, were mostly high ranked people. Shareholders had their office there and few important staffs. Drake and Lilly also had their office there. Sponsors mostly visited that place.

Williams made sure that family issues were not brought to that place. If anyone were to visit, it was mostly about work but today, Darien was going to do the impossible.

He drove to the company as fast as he could. He reached there after minutes of driving. He parked at the companies car park. There was also many expensive cars like his.

He left his car and went to the company. The company was much more bigger than his and it was looking more expensive. Guards surrounded the company but they knew him well. He entered the office without anyone stopping him but instead, they all bowed. He acted fresh and cool, he adjusted his suit and he walked formally.

The staffs passing were surprised to see him and they all bowed their head. He hardly come, once in a blue moon. He went to the elevator and he saw a lot of people. They all bowed their head and reacted the same way. They all gave him space and he pressed 78. He went up for a very long, until it stopped.

He went out of it and he walked in formally. Nobody was on that floor, probably because it was the chairperson hall. He went towards the door and he wasn't even nervous to enter. He knocked the door.

"Come in." Williams commanded.

He entered the office. It was ten times larger than his. The entire walls were transparent and you could see outside.

He walked to him formally and he sat opposite him. Williams was more than shocked to see him.

"I only have one thing to say to you." Darien sounded threatening.

Williams frowned and he wasn't liking his behavior. Williams didn't say anything, he glared at his son.

"Donot try to scheme to break my relationship with Ivy." He smirked to him. "This is not a request, it's a command."

Williams widened his eyes and he was still left in shock. Darien had never dare speak to him like this before. Who was this girl that gave him the audacity to talk back at him.

"Who do y..."

"If you try to take down my position because of this, don't forget I still have that paper you had signed, many years ago."

Williams widened his eyes in shock and his feet's and hands were trembling. He had never threatened him with the paper before. Only him and Darien knew about the paper.

Darien smirked and he gave a dangerous and sarcastic laugh. He stood from his seat and he had finally gotten his father's weakness.

"Darien!" He screamed very loudly. His feet and hands were still trembling. "Have you forgotten your place? Do you know who you have challenge?"

Darien scoffed and he felt disgusted to call him his father. He stood and left his office, he had one more place to be. Drake's office.

He didn't really remember his office but he could guess. He went into the elevator and pressed 24. He wasn't sure, it had to be 24 or 34. The elevator went down for a while and it opened. He came out of it and he remembered the corridor quiet well. His guess was absolutely right. He walked a little and he stood at the door. He hated to even see his brother's face, but he just had to see him and get rid of him completely.

He did not bother knocking but he opened the door gently. He saw him in one corner and a man was there. They were talking secretive and they were fools to have left the door opened. They couldn't see him but he could hear them correctly.

"Have you found anything more?" Drake seemed worried.

"Yes sir, the secret fund as a key. And yes, only that girl has the key." Philip said in a formal voice.

"What do you mean?" Drake rose a brow.

"After her father died, she was given a key that has the money worth billions and it can be used to destroy Darien."

Darien rose a brow. He wasn't sure what they were saying but it was related to him.

"Sir it is only Ivy that can destroy Darien."

Darien widened his eyes. He kept wondering what the secret fund meant.

"We have to find it before anyone does." Drake commanded.
