342 Thorns In My Side 

(Judy) 

I tap my fingers impatiently on my desk at Brennan Industries, staring at the documents in front of me.. Gabriel’s sisters, those sentimental fools, turned down my offer. 

All because they wanted to sell their shares to him directly. 

Idiots. 

I gave them the best offer they’ll ever get, but no–family first, apparently. 

That will bite them on the ass one day. Mark my words. They’ll learn that family loyalty means nothing when I’m in control. Family is just a tool–leverage to use when necessary. 

I smirk to myself. If I can’t convince them to sell to me, I’ll force their hand. I always find a way. There’s more than one method to get what I want, and I’ve never been afraid to get my hands dirty 

They’re going to regret turning me down. 

My phone buzzes, interrupting my thoughts. I glance at the screen, a message from one of my contacts. It’s about Maria. My smirk deepens–I’ve been waiting for this. I know she’s been feeling the pressure lately. 

I skim through the message, but then, something catches my eye, and my smile vanishes. 

Maria is still in contact with Gus. 

I grit my teeth, fury building inside me. Gus. That traitorous bastard hasn’t contacted me once since ‘visited him. Not a single word, despite how he loves me and will always love me. 

He has the audacity to ignore me now? 

After all I’ve been through? All I’ve done to help him build his empire? Sacrifices I made letting him go…he has me to thank for everything he has. 

What, does he think he can just forget me? Pretend I don’t exist? Does he really think he can replace me with Greg’s Cuban slut? 

I lean back in my chair, fuming, my fingers gripping the armrests. Gus used to hang on my every word, listen to my advice, but now now he’s treating me like I’m disposable. 

Like I don’t matter anymore. That ends soon. 

And Maria? She’ll regret it too. Just because she’s cozying up to Gus doesn’t mean she’s safe from me. No one is safe from me when I set my mind to something. 

I toss my phone onto the desk, my eyes narrowing at the pile of documents in front of me. They’re full of my plans for gaining ground at Nexus Global. It’s all carefully laid out, each step calculated for maximum impact. 

But that’s not all I’m focused on. 

No, my eyes are firmly set on Jayden and Winona. They think they’ve escaped me by running off to Brussels? How naive. They have no idea what’s coming.

A small smile creeps onto my face as I think about the little disruptions I’ve been causing in their lives. thanks to my well–placed domestic staff. 

They’ve been making things a little more complicated for Jayden and Winona over there–small annoyances here and there. 

Delaying things, causing minor communication issues. Just enough to keep them unsettled, but not enough to raise alarm bells. 

It’s subtle, but effective. I want them uncomfortable, constantly on edge. If they think they’re going to have a peaceful, happy time in Brussels, they’ve got another thing coming 

But even with all my maneuvering. Jayden’s been holding up better than I expected. He’s more resilient than I gave him credit for. Winona too, unfortunately. But no matter, I have more up my sleeve. 

The real thorn in my side is Viktor. 

Every time I try to move forward, he blocks me. He’s like a damn fortress, always one step ahead. I’ve tried everything to sway him, but the man is made of stone. 

He’s loyal to Gus and Jayden, and that makes him dangerous to me. 

I need to find a way to get rid of him. He’s too good at what he does, and if I don’t deal with him soon, he’ll become a much bigger problem. But that’s a problem for later. Right now, I have bigger plans in 

motion. 

I lean forward, flipping through the Nexus Global documents again. I’ve been carefully planting seeds within the company, and my efforts are starting to bear fruit. I have people on the inside now, loyal workers who report back to me. 

Slowly but surely, I’m building my influence within the company. And once Jayden gets frustrated enough, angry enough with the constant obstacles, he’ll crack. 

That’s when I’ll strike. I’ll be there, ready to scoop up a huge chunk of Nexus Global. And when I do, Gus will be powerless to stop me. 

The thought of Gus watching helplessly as I take control of his company… it’s almost too good to be true. I can’t wait to see the look on his face. He’ll finally realize what happens when he pushes me aside. 

I glance over at the calendar on my desk. Soon. Very soon. 

I’ve been biding my time, respecting the no–contact order that’s been in place back here. But that order doesn’t stretch to Brussels. And as soon as Winona thinks everything’s settled and calm, I’ll make my
