Crooked As a Dog’s Hind Leg
Klay’s POV
I was sitting on the swivel chair, playing with the pen in my fingers. Today, I’m having a meeting with the shareholders and the new shareholder. The new shareholder owned the largest share and I’m about to get kicked out of my position. However, it’s fine. All because I know that it was her.
Kelly is still angry and she’s starting to take everything back. I’m willing to give her everything. I’m willing to ruin everyone for her. She just has to let me explain and give me another chance. I can give everything back to her and even give her everything I have.
I glanced at my wristwatch. The meeting will be at 10 AM, but it’s just 9 AM. I can no longer wait to see her again. If I can, I’ll fly to wherever she is and beg for forgiveness.
Kelly… I’m not that evil, babe. Just give me another chance and I’ll do everything that you want.
When the clock hit 10 AM, I sat properly on the swivel chair and anticipated her arrival. The shareholders came one by one until the very last one we’re waiting for was her.
My heart raced in anticipation as I watched the door open again and the loud sound of a woman’s shoe echoed in the whole meeting room. A smile stretched my lips but as soon as I saw the owner of the killer heels, my smile faded.
“Mrs. Carver, good morning.”
Everyone in the meeting room except for me greeted Emily, who entered with confidence.
I gritted my teeth when her eyes landed on mine. She smirked. “I supposed everyone’s here.”
“Oh! You’re the new shareholder, Mrs. Carver?”
The shareholders glanced at me as I gritted my teeth and balled my fists. What the fck are you doing now, Emily?
She smiled at me and sat on the chair across from me. “Hello, dear.”
“What are you doing here?”
Her sweet smile remained, irritating me even more. She lifted her arm and put a document on the table. “1 am the representative of the new shareholder. She’s a very busy person, so I came on behalf of her.”
I gritted my tee… and grabbed the document. I sucked my breath after seeing a familiar name on the document a name that’s curved in my head.
I looked at Emilly again and she crossed her legs while looking at me.
“Where is she?”
Emily shook her head. “I don’t think that’s what we should talk about here, sweetheart.
1 clenched my jaws and pressed my lips together in so much anger. The meeting started and ended and I’m just glaring at Emily the whole time. After the shareholders left, I rushed towards Emily and grabbed her neck. I slammed her on the table and moved my face closer to her, intimidating her but the bitch just looked at me with her bitch face.
“Where the hell is she, bitch? You better tell me the truth or you won’t be able to see the beauty of the morning tomorrow.”
I wasn’t gripping her neck, so she smirked arrogantly and caressed my jaws. “My dear husband, she won’t see you ever again unless you bring her father back to life.”

“Fck you!” I growled at her and pushed her to the table,
Her smile fnded as her face turned expressionless. She stared back into my blazing eyes with the same intensity of rage.
She’s the reason why I couldn’t find Kelly. She was helping her all this time and I didn’t even have a slightest idea about how she hid it from me. Fck!
“You are the devil I loathe the most, Klay. Do you think I easily gave up on my life and accepted the fact that I’m caged with you forever? You can steal my wealth but not my dignity and freedom. I refuse to be stuck with you forever and I will help anyone who wants to punish you.”
“You fcking bitch!” I lifted my arm, aiming to slap her when the door swung open.
My forehead creased when three police officers entered, catching us in that situation.
“Mr. Carver, can we invite you to the headquarters? We just have some questions for you.”
“For what reason?” I asked coldly.
The officer glanced at Emily and when I looked at her, she looked like a scared kitten. What the fck is this bitch doing?
“We may need to question you about Mrs. Amanda Monroe, the primary suspect for the death Moroe.”
of Mr.
Fék that bitch! Did she get caught or Emily manipulated the law to do this? She has no power to do that. I restrained her capabilities and connection. I even threatened all her friends to ruin their lives if they continued contacting her.
ting room. Emily
I angrily glanced at Emily as I walked between the police officers, leaving the meeting secretly gave me a triumphant grin and even waved her hand at me.
You’ll pay for this, bitch!
“Evil people deserve to be punished by the law. Powerful or not, there’s no exception.” The chief of the police said as he walked behind me, looking at the bastard who’s questioning me.
I looked at him, my eyes followed him until he went inside his office. Asshole! You think you can put me behind bars?
“Mr. Carver, wh. re were you when Mr. Monroe died.”
I looked at him blankly. “I already answered that question five fcking years ago. Do I have to repeat every single word I said to keep me out of your suspect list?”
