He wanted to ensure that whatever happened he wouldn’t get swept under because of Zach and his erratic decisions.

However as violet left the office she knew that there was going to be no changing of her father’s mind. She couldn’t help but feel slightly upset that she wasn’t able to change his mind.

She had hoped that she would be able to show him reason bug now she had to take matters into her own hands.

She knew that she couldn’t go and tell Zach about it herself, besides there was a chance that he wouldn’t believe her so instead she decided that it was time for her to go and tell someone that she knew for certain he would believe.

She stopped in front of her door as she knocked her palms against it.

She waited a few seconds before she watched Clara come to the door. She furrowed her brows at the sight of her as she looked at her in confusion.

“I need you to tell Zach something.” Violet said to her and she watched as she furrowed her brows before looking at her over.

“But why can’t you tell him yourself?” She asked her.

She couldn’t help but groan as she cursed herself internally. “Well you are getting married to him and the chances are that he will take it more seriously if you are the one who is to tell him and not me.” she said to her in a calm tone.

She watched as she looked her over as she thought over it for a moment. “what is it that you want me to tell him.” she asked her and violet couldn’t help but smile at her words.

She was relieved that she was willing to consider it even if it was for just a moment. “It is princess Candice. She has formed an alliance with the Davis and Brown families. You have to tell him so that he can be prepared.” she said to her and she watched ads Clara’s eyes widened at her words.

Clara gulped nodding her head at her in response before letting out a sigh from her lips. She was quick to step out of the room as she closed the door shut behind her.

She had to tell him ahead of time before something bad happened. Clara thanked violet for letting her know about what was going on as she began heading towards Zach’s quarters.

She didn’t know how he would react but she hoped that he wouldn’t lash out on her or end up doing something that was irrational.

…

Clara didn’t know what she had expected when she had told Zach the news. she had expected him to yell or lash out and try to hit things.

However what wat she didn’t expect was for him to remain calm. She didn’t know what was going through his head at the moment but she had to admit that she was feeling slightly unsettled by his silence.

“Are you okay?” she asked him.

He was quiet for a moment as he nodded his head at her in response after a moment. He took a step towards her as he placed his hand on her shoulder. “It is all going to be fine don’t worry about it.” He said to her calmly.

However she didn’t lime the way teat he was so calm about it.

“What do you mean by it is all going to be fine? She is becoming more powerful and she is going to be able to take you down much more easily now.” She said to him in a raised tone.

She watched as he shook his head at her from side to side as he gave her a raised brow.

“Do you trust me or not?” she asked her. She only thought about it for a moment before nodding her head at him in response.

She watched as he smiled at her after a moment. “Good well then you trust that I will never do anything that would cause harm to any of our families and everything that I do is to protect us. do you think that I hadn’t considered this. that I hadn’t put into consideration the fact thar she would try to fire back art me.” he asked her.

She let out a breath before shaking her head at him. She knew that he was very cunning and thoughtful and she knew that he chances were high that he had already thought it all through.

“Good well them you should know that I have all of this already handled and that I wouldn’t allow anything to happen. I am on It and I am not going to stop until I know for a fact that I have taken her down.” He said to h er in a promising tone.

She let out a sigh of relief from her lips. She knew that although there were times when she wasn’t entirely sure of what his plans were, she knew that she could always trust him because he would never do anything that would result in any form of harm coming to them.

She has full faith in him and she knew that whatever it was that he had planned it would end well and in the end the princess wouldn’t be able to win.

However as the days went by it became harder to have full faith in Zach and know that he could keep everything in check.

Although he was still overseeing his own work, sugar production in the land of Byzantium exploded largely. With princess Candice having merged with the families she had an endless supply of workers that were ready to awork on the sugar.

She was producing sugar at such high rates that almost a thirds of the stores in the city were selling sugar.

Sugar that had once been a rare and hard to find commodity was now being seen in almost every street corner and there were those that were selling it at every turn.

Soon sugar was an oversaturated market as there were so many different brands and labels even the poor were having easy access to it as it was seen in so many places with so many different types that almost everyone could get access to it.

With Candice having united forced with the two families she was having so much excess production that she wasn’t limited to selling to just Byzantium citizens.

She was also able to use the opportunity in order for her to sell to other neighboring cities.

They had also shown their own interests in the sugar industry and she wanted to take the market before Zach had the chance to get control of it.

It also meant that she was able to have the upper hand when it came to him. That made her happy to know that she was yet again one step ahead of him.

By the time that he was able to tap into that particular market she had already established herself in its debts.

He would have no space to take her market and even if he was able to establish himself somehow. He would be left with nothing more than the crumbs that she had left behind.

She was finally getting everything that she wanted and she could feel her initial plan falling perfectly into place.

Zach was going down and she had already planted the seeds for her to ensure that it happened.

…

Zach was sat in his office once more as he heard the sound of a loud knock on his door. He cleared his throat gesturing for the person to come in.

He looked up and quirked a brow when he watched as Bruce walked in with a file in his hand.

“What is it?” Zach as hed and he watched as Bruce placed the file down onto the table.

“These are the financial statements for the sugar production industry.” He said to him.

Zach hummed at him in response as he pulled open the file and he began to read through it. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚

He found that the Smiths had made quite a lot of profit and he felt as smirk come over his features.

However he froze when he looked down towards the other two companies the Brown and the Davis family. He was surprised to see that they had been able to make ,ore. Money than the Smiths.

“Well this is new.” He said to him. He watched as he hummed at him in response but he didn’t say anything to him in response.

He saw that they were able to acquire more market shares in the last month and therefor their own businesses were slowly growing.

“I guess that Candice is getting what she wanted.” He muttered.

“What are we going to do about it.” Bruce asked Zach.

Zach tried to remain calm. He knew that he couldn’t over react or show his own distress. However he could see the sweaty trickle down Bruce’s forehead. “What do you mean.” He asked Bruce calmly.

“Well I knew that we have hired more workers and we have been doing our best to increase our output but I don’t think that it is going to be enough.” He said to him anxiously.

“How so? Why do you think it wouldn’t be enough?” He asked him.

“Well we may be getting more workers but we know that the two families have their roots deep and they know a lot more people. They have a much tighter leash on their employees and that is something thar we can’t go up against.”
