Chapter 6
Gemma finally seems to realize what’s happening.
She shakes her head wildly. “That’s impossible. I’m not the mistress. You are p>
She points at me, voice shrill: “You seduced Hayes! You’re the homewrecker! Raven’s the bastard child p>
“I’ll rip your face off, you old slut! Throwing yourself at him like some desperate p>
Hayes grabs her hand and slowly lowers it. “Gemma, stop. You’re the woman I kept on the side. Blaze is the illegitimate one p>
The room goes silent. Then erupts.
Mr. Zane, the other parents, the teachers-everyone’s jaws hit the floor.
So the woman who’s been acting like she owns the world-she’s the mistress?
And Blaze, the one who nearly killed a legitimate daughter, is the bastard?
“Holy shit. The illegitimate son ran over the legitimate daughter, and the mistress threatened the wife p>
“How shameless can you be p>
“This is the wildest thing I’ve ever seen p>
Hayes shifts uncomfortably under everyone’s disgusted stares. But he clears his throat and looks at me:
“Luna, I know you’re worried about Raven. But what’s done is done. Blaze has already been beaten half to death by you-you’ve gotten your revenge, right? He’s still young. Maybe we should just… let this go p>
Gemma shrieks: “So my son just got beaten for nothing p>
She jabs a finger at me: “Hayes, we’re suing her! Look what she did to Blaze! I’ve never even laid a hand on him, and she p>
“Shut up p>
“Raven’s still in the hospital! Raven’s my daughter too p>
I stare at them both coldly.
They think this is over?
Dream on.
I nod toward their phones. “Check the trending news p>
“No-no no no p>
Gemma stumbles backward, staring at her screen in horror. Hayes’ face goes pale.
The story’s everywhere now-Blaze’s drunk driving, the pedestrian plaza, the victims. It’s the top social news story in the country.

Chapter 6
People have already dug up Blaze’s identity. All his past incidents. Everything
Hayes had used the company’s PR team to bury it before.
But now, with my orders, the floodgates are open.
The comments explode:
“Lock him up and throw away the key p>
“Rich kid thinks he can get away with murder. Not this time p>
“Justice for those girls p>
I step closer to Hayes and Gemma.
“Why should my daughter be fighting for her life while that monster gets to walk around like nothing happened p>
Gemma’s sobbing now, snot running down her face. She clings to Hayes:
“Do something! You’re the CEO, aren’t you?! You have to fix this p>
Barrett can’t help it-he laughs out loud. “CEO? He’s just the Weston family’s live-in son-in-law. Everyone at the top knows it. He’s a figurehead. A pretty face for the magazines p>
As he finished, Hayes’ face instantly flushes red. His lips move but no sound comes out.
The whispers start up again, each one like a knife.
Barrett continues: “Madam Chairwoman, all the paperwork’s ready. I guarantee that animal will spend the rest of his life in prison p>
Madam Chairwoman.
Everyone’s eyes snap to me.
They’d guessed I was someone important-but this confirms it.
“No wonder Hayes always acted small around her p>
“A live-in husband with a mistress and a bastard kid? He really forgot who gave him the good life, huh p>
Mr. Zane scrambles over, groveling: “I-I was deceived! I’m dropping Blaze’s case immediately. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me-
I don’t even look at him.
I turn to Hayes. “The divorce papers are already drawn up. Starting today, you’re out of the Weston family p>
“And your position at the company? Gone. There is no ‘CEO Hayes’ anymore p>
He reaches for me, but the security guards break his arm before he can touch me,
When he sees I’m serious, his whole body sags.
