Jack looked rich and he was wearing navy blue suit, navy blue trousers with a white shirt. He dramatically entered and he styled his black hair to the back. He was looking very handsome. He looked formal and he dropped the files on the table.

Ivy was confused and she was wondering what he was doing here. Nobody knew what was going on and they were getting confused.

"Who is this?!" Williams screamed and he frowned his face. "Who gave you the right to bring a random person to this place?!"

Darien ignored Williams, he walked to Williams and he faced opposite him. He smirked at him and he walked pass him. He stayed at the middle of everyone and he smiled at them.

Tables were turning and Drake knew it wasn't good for him.

"As you can see these files, they all contain important documents in which Mr Williams had signed." Darien voice deepened and he was the only one sounding in the room.

People paid attention to him and they were curious. Williams checked the file and he was getting more curious. He analysed the file and he saw his signature on it. He was getting more furious and confused.

"Let me clear the air now." He buttoned his suit and faced everyone. "Everything under the company, they have all been transferred to me, directly by Mr Williams and he has no right to return it, even if he wants to."

"What are you saying?!" Williams was panting heavy, he looked at Darien dangerously and he was extremely furious.

He never knew a day would come, whereby Darien was going to use this signature against him. Williams looked at the files again and started laughing.

People were confused, what was happening to him?. He stopped laughing and he glared at Darien dangerously. He carried all the files and threw them in the air. He frowned his face and he faced Darien.

"Know your place Darien!" He screamed at his face. "Even if I signed these papers, don't forget that if majority of the board members are not willing to accept you, legal actions would be taken against you."

"Okay, why don't we vote." Darien said with confidence.

Williams smirked, he had the votes of almost everyone in the meeting.

"Okay sure. Signify if you don't want to keep Darien has the owner of the company." Williams said and he was more confident than Darien.

Williams waited eagerly for their reply and nobody raised their hands. It was only Drake and Lilly that rose their hands. Williams was so shocked he couldn't believe his eyes.

"What are you guys doing?!" He screamed and he was going crazy

Darien smirked and he faced Williams. Williams got closer and he was facing opposite his son. They both stared at each other dangerously.

Williams was so confused about one thing, why did the members go against him? Not even Arizona parents rose their hand.

"Don't forget your scandal." Williams whispered to his ears.

Darien smiled and he felt pity at his father so much. He did not know what was about to happen.

"Let's talk outside." He whispered to his ears.

Williams eyed him and it seemed like his plans were about to work. Williams smiled and he faced the members.

"This meeting is paused, we have something to talk about." Everybody were lost and extremely confused.

Ivy was more than lost at the moment but it seemed like Darien was taking himself out of the mess.

The father and son walked out and they left everyone confused. They stayed at the companies balcony, which was not far from the room.

They stayed beside each other and they were frowning. They both hated each other very much.

"I was very small when you got me into that scandal." Darien spoke softly and he broke the silence.

Williams didn't care, he was waiting for Darien to kneel down and apologize.

"I will retain your position, only if you will marry Arizona."

"You didn't allow me to finish." Darien had a sly voice. "I was so small, I never got the chance to investigate the scandal quite well."

Williams frowned and he was left in a state of confusion. He looked at Darien and he wasn't ready to kneel before him.

"When I had turned 22, I started investigating the matter. I was so close to finding the truth." Darien voice was cracking and he was getting emotional already.

"I was about freeing myself from your clutches, but I thought." He exhaled deeply and he faced his father. "You are my father after all, you will surely want what is best for me."

Tears were stuck at his eye and he prevented them from falling.  He hated this man at his front, the sight of him gave him pain day and night.

"I stopped the investigation for a moment." He glared at him, "but your actions recently made me to reopen it. I have complete evidence against you, I can charge you for defaming me all these years and for commiting all those scandals in my name."

Darien threatened Williams and for the first time Williams was very scared. Williams hands were trembling and he wasn't planning on going to jail. He could use money to reduce his sentence but he couldn't come out as an exconvict.

"I am your father." Williams tune changed and he pretended to get emotional. "You are my son and you are right, I have always wanted what is best for you."

Williams forced tears to drop from his eyes. He tried touching Darien cheek but Darien held his hand tightly. Williams frowned and he stared at Darien. Darien was frowning even more and he glared at him.

"Let me make one thing clear, you are not my father!" He had the same ruthless expression. "Let's make a deal as business people."

Darien dropped Williams hands forcefully and he gave him a wide smirk. Williams was confused and he was wondering what had gotten into Darien.

"You will go back there and take back all your words. You will say that you want me to retain my position." Williams widen his eyes in surprise.

"What are you saying?"

"If you do that, I will destroy any evidence against you. I will keep my words."

Williams was so angry and he was left with no other option for the first time.

"Deal or no deal." He gave out a small laugh and he giggled.

Williams bowed his head in shame and he was never left in such a dilemma.

They both walked back quietly into the meeting. Darien had a wide smile and he gave sign to Williams.

Williams sighed, he walked back to his seat and he stood.

"I hereby declare that Darien is the CEO of this company." Williams said it with a low voice and he hadn't felt more embarrassed in his life.

Drake hands were trembling. For the first time, Williams fell at Darien's feet and he was next. The only hope he had was the secret fund.

Ivy was shocked and equally happy, she didn't understand a thing but everything was working in her favour. Williams sat on his chair with shame and his head was down.

Darien stood from his chair and he had a smile. He faced Ivy and he smiled more. He faced the people.

"Make sure you video this and let it go viral." Jack started the video. "I hereby cancel my wedding with Arizona. It was against my will and I am in love with someone else."

Everyone one were shocked and they were curious to know who he was talking about.

"I am in love with my secretary, Ivy." He smiled at them.
