Chapter 85


    85 Audit


    Luke My father was serious about separating himself from Stacy, but the man was too young to be alone.


    As long as she was alive, he won’t be able to mate with anyone. A life withoutpanionship was too


    much to bear. I wished something could be done about their situation, but the woman was impossible.


    She had caused a lot of damage. She must have thought too low of my father to think she could screw


    her way out of this mess. She had dressed up to get him. I wished the woman’s personality was as good


    as she looked, my father would have hit the jackpot, but she was rotten. I hoped she would open up to


    Caleb about Regan soon so we could close that chapter. The moment we entered our bedroom, I sat on


    the couch. Tia came to sit next to me, and we were quiet. There was nothing to celebrate here. I have


    wanted Stacy out of our lives for a while now, but not like this, my father neededpanionship, and she


    was all he had right now. I did not know if I should talk him out of it or let things be. I did not want him to


    be alone. I held Tia close to me and asked myself if I would let her go if she suddenly became like Stacy


    and the answer was No. I wouldn’t. I will take her away from my children, and we will settle far away from


    where she would no longer need to be a bitch to anyone. To be frank, Stacy was a bitch to everyone but


    my father. He was letting her go because of me and Caleb. I knew that, and it hurt a bit.


    She imed his undying love for my mother wrecked her and made her the way she was. She was


    indeed a bitter woman. She did not handle her situation well. She should have talked to him about it, let


    him know how she felt, but instead, sheshed out at the wrong people. I did not know how to think


    about it, but it did not feel right. 1 “Luke, is everything alright?” Tia asked me, and I ced my hand on


    her tummy. “I do not think it is wise they separate. It will be painful for both of them,” I said, and she


    adjusted herself in her seat.


    “What do you want him to do?” she asked, and I sighed.


    “If Stacy can give Regan up so we can find him, I will advise they travel and let us handle what is


    happening, “I said, and Tia shook her head.


    “It is beyond that, Luke. Your father is done; I suspect he has been done for a while now. Besides, if she


    truly loved him as she imed, she would do everything within her capacity to make him happy,


    regardless of what she was thinking. Why hasn’t she told us about Regan yet? “Tia asked, and I sighed


    because I did not want to argue. I weed a temporary separation so they could appreciate each


    other, but a permanent one was extreme. Tia’s phone rang, and I watched her answer it. She spoke to


    the person and turned to face me. “The Auditor wants to have a video conference call with us. She has


    sent an invite to my box.” She said, and I nodded. Tia thanked Gail and hung up.


    She got herptop and set up the call.


    The auditor was a pretty woman that looked like she was in herte forties. She had dark hair, and she


    looked like she was from Eastwood.


    “Good afternoon, Alpha Moon, Luna Tia,” the woman said, and I did not know her name, so I


    just nodded,


    “My name is Krystal Mulberry,” she said and smiled.


    “Hello, Mrs Mulberry,” I said, and she smiled at me. “Our firm has finished the work, and we found a lot of


    discrepancies with your ounts. Most of the issues arose from yourpany’s dealings with West


    corp. Diamond corp has two hundred and ny-six million unounted for, one billion in unpaid loans


    and wages. There has also been continuous anonymous withdrawal on three corporate ounts for the


    past five years to six billion. If this continues. Thepany is bound to get bankrupt,” the woman said,


    and I was surprised.


    “Do you minding to the Moon Mansion so we can go over these numbers and expenses with my


    father? He was the one in charge. Tia and I just took over recently.” I said to her, and she sighed and


    nodded.


    “I will be there soon, Alpha,” she said, and we ended the call.


    I could not believe what was happening under our noses. How much did Stacy pay Regan, and who was


    withdrawing high sums from our ounts? How did we owe that much? I had so many questions. I


    hated doing this the day my father separated from his wife, but I had no choice. The numbers were


    disturbing. If this continues, there will be no Diamond Corp. If Luis knew this, I bet he would not even


    bother himself.


    “What do we do, Luke?” Tia asked me. She also knew the ramifications of what was happening.


    I do not know Tia, but I need to know how much Stacy stole.” I said and got up.


    “Where are you going?” She asked me. “To confront her,” I replied, and Tia shook her head.


    “let her be for now..” she tried to plead with me, but I did not let her finish her sentence. “No, Tia, She has


    to tell me. While she is busy licking her wounds, someone is somewhere draining our ounts. I need to


    know how much of the missing money is from her to make a quick decision.” I exined to Tia, and she


    nodded.


    “Very well then. I will suggest they arrest Timothy Miles and the members of the board of West corp until


    we figure this out. The auditor said most of our problems are from West Corp. We know Luis is on the


    board; this investigation might lead us to the bastard. One of them might know where Luis is.” Tia said,


    and I knew she was making a lot of sense. I decided to link Mike to carry out the order before I go and


    question Stacy.


    “Mikey,” I linked my friend,


    “Good afternoon, Luke. I thought you had forgotten I was in the mansion too,” he said, and I wanted to


    laugh, but I couldn’t.


    “Sorry. We had an eventful breakfast. The whole thing was heated up, but the issues are fully resolved


    now.” I told him.


    “I figured. With all that we learned on our trip, breakfast was bound to be explosive, especially when


    confronting your father about it. I am d it is settled.” he said, and I felt the same way. “I need you to


    arrest Timothy Miles and all the members of the West Corp board. On theft charges. Try and cut them a


    deal to deliver Luis Moon to us.” I told him.

    “Luke, arr you sure? Don’t you think we are moving too quickly?” He asked me, and I understood why


    because we had agreed to observe,


    “I know, but we can’t observe anymore; they have cost Diamond corp a lot of money, and someone is


    stealing from our ounts. I need to be sure West corp is incapacitated. I am unsure if they are


    responsible for the activities, but I hope their arrest will slow it down and buy us time to figure out who is


    behind it.” I said to him.


    “Okay, Alpha. I will head to the headquarters and issue the arrest warrant. I will move swiftly too. I need


    all the names and avable addresses of the board members so I can arrest them at once I will contact


    kirk for it,” He said, and I understood his reasons.


    “Okay, that will be great. We won’t be able to pick Luis Moon up since his address is in Santa Braee:


    Hopefully, the rest used their real addresses and will give him up easily.” I replied and broke the link.


    I left the room and headed towards the right-wing. On my way there, I ran into Caleb and told him


    everything; he decided to follow me so he could try to get his mother to speak.


    I was proud of my brother. I was d he took my side. I wasn’t expecting it, but he had surprised me. He


    had supported me even though I knew he still cared for Tia, but somehow he had found a way to care for


    her differently. I was proud of him, and I hoped our bond would continue to grow. It felt good having a


    brother. We arrived at Stacy’s new room. The door was ajar, so we let ourselves in. I saw her curled on


    the bed, weeping. She must have left the door open, hoping our father would walk in. I knew she would


    spend time trying to get back with him instead of correcting her evil ways. The woman was stupid like


    that.


    “I do not think it is wise father separate from his wife like this,” I linked Caleb, and he looked at me,


    shocked.


    “She has done enough, Luke, and she never learns. She is still yet to tell me about Regan,” He linked


    back, and I was stunned by his words. The woman might want to take the truth to her grave. Another


    person would have spoken up to gain some favour, but her silence meant only one thing. Whatever she


    was hiding was worse than what we already knew.


    “Stacy,” I called out, and she stopped sobbing and sat on her bed. Her eyes were swollen, and she


    looked at Caleb and me angrily.


    “What the fuck do you want?” She asked, not directing the question to anyone. I knew the auditor was on


    her way, so I did not want to waste time with her.


    “I want to know how much you helped Timothy steal from Diamond corp. I need you to tell me everything


    about your transactions with him. You have been through enough today, Stacy; I do not want to arrest


    you over this matter. As much s you think I hate you, I really don’t.” I said to her, and she sniffed.


    “I swear, Luke, I did not steal. He paid me money. All I was asked to do was make sure your father


    approved the contracts and the payment without inspections. You can arrest me for it. You have my bank


    statement. All the transfers were made by Timothy himself. I never stole from your father. I only struck


    those deals so I can have money to pay Regan.” She said, and I knew she was telling the truth.


    “How much is Regan asking for?” I asked out of curiosity.


    “It doesn’t matter anymore. I was only paying him to keep my marriage and protect Caleb, my parents,


    Monica and me. Soon I will be out of the streets. I am sure he will stop disturbing then,” She sounded


    resigned.


    “Stacy, you muste clean about Regan so we can solve this matter. Crying will not solve the problem.


    Tell us the truth, and we will talk to father about the separation,” I offered, and she smiled and shook her


    head.


    “If I tell you everything, then my marriage won’t be the only thing I need to worry about,” She confessed


    to me, and I knew we wouldn’t be getting much out of her with those words. The Regan trail had gone


    cold, but we were still hot on Luis’s, and I knew we would soon catch the bastard.


    Caleb.and I left Stacy’s room, and I linked my father about the meeting with the auditor while we returned


    to the left-wing.
