Chapter 8 - The Mastermind Revealed & The Twist Ending

VIRAL TITLE: THE ULTIMATE TWIST! The Entire Story Was a Setup from Day ONE! 😱🔥🤯

Charles Vance looked at his son with a mixture of pride and cold calculation.

“Hello, Ethan,” the old man said, his voice as sharp as it had been years ago. “You’ve grown into a strong man. You protected your child.”

“You’re alive?!” Ethan yelled, holding his newborn son close while nursing a bleeding shoulder. “How?! Why did you let me suffer?! Why did you let Victoria destroy our lives?!”

Charles sighed, looking at Victoria, who was staring at him in utter horror.

“I faked my death because I knew Victoria and my lawyer, Arthur, were slow-poisoning me to steal the empire,” Charles revealed cold-bloodedly. “I needed them to commit a major, undeniable federal crime so I could strip them of every asset, immunities, and legal protections without years of court battles.”

Ethan felt a sickening sensation in his stomach. “You… you used Maya? You used Iris? You let Maya die?!”

Charles’s face turned icy. “I didn’t intend for Maya to die. That was Victoria’s unexpected cruelty. But when Iris came to me seeking revenge, I funded her plastic surgery. I placed her in the house. I set the trap, Ethan. I needed Victoria to attempt a murder on you and the baby so she would get life in prison without parole.”

Iris stared at Charles, her eyes widening in realization. “You monster… You used my dead sister and my body as bait!”

“And it worked,” Charles said smoothly. “Victoria goes to prison forever. The company is safe. And now, my grandson is born.”

Charles signaled his security guards. “Take Iris to the hospital. And bring my grandson to my car.”

“NO!” Ethan screamed, drawing his sidearm and aiming it directly at his own father’s forehead.

The police officers instantly drew their guns, pointing them at Ethan.

“Ethan, drop the weapon!” Marcus yelled.

“You are no father to me,” Ethan said, tears mixing with the rain on his face. “You sacrificed human lives for money and power. You are no different than Victoria.”

Ethan backed away, holding the baby firmly against his chest, and helped Iris to her feet.

“If any of your men take a step closer, Father,” Ethan warned, his finger on the trigger, “I will release the full banking records of your fake death to the FBI. I found your hidden offshore ledger three days ago. You aren’t the only one playing chess.”

Charles’s confident smile instantly evaporated. For the first time in his life, the old billionaire looked terrified.
