Angelica can't believe the words that came out of Amon's mouth.

The reason she managed to get Mr. Moore as her client was because of the man sitting before her.

Because Kent was having family trouble, he got distracted, he let his guard down, and she swooped in like the vulture she is.

Never did she expect that the reason she managed to be a vulture was because it was Amon who made the kill.

Amon is having an affair with Kent's wife, Caroline.

Angelica had seen Caroline, and when she saw Caroline, she felt jealous because Caroline was one of the most beautiful and sexiest women she had ever seen in her life, and to her surprise, this woman was married to Kent.

She couldn't believe it at that time. How could a woman like Caroline be married to a simpleton like Kent?

Angelica felt that Kent's too lucky, he managed to get on the same footing as her, but also has a wife who is drop-dead gorgeous. She felt annoyed by how good a life Kent was living.

And now she hears that the good life he had has crumbled because of just one man? Angelica felt a sense of glee.

"You are having an affair with Kent's wife, and you want me to help her with her divorce case?" Angelica asks.

"Yes," Amon says.

"But... I am not a divorce attorney," Angelica says.

"You were back in the day. Isn't that how you started out?" Amon asks with a smile.

"Yes, but..." Angelica tries to say something, but Amon cuts her off. "No buts, you are going to help Caroline take everything away from Kent. And I am sure you will find great pleasure doing so," Amon says.

Angelica ponders what Amon just said.

"That's... very hard. Since Caroline has committed infidelity, she isn't entitled to anything..." Angelica says.

"You are right in most cases, but if you do as I say, everything's going to be fine and dandy," Amon says with a smile.

"How?" Angelica asks.

"Because Kent has videos of me and his wife fucking like rabbits, and by videos I mean a lot and lot of videos," Amon says.

Angelica frowns.

"But wouldn't that be considered proof of Caroline's infidelity and work against her?" Angelica asks. To which Amon smiles in return, mischievously.

Angelica feels a shiver run down her spine. Amon's smile is the most terrifying thing she has ever seen in her life, even though the smile belongs to the most handsome man she has seen in her life.

"It's like this-" Amon begins explaining his plan to Angelica, and as she listens, she starts feeling pity for Kent. Even with all the evidence he has, he still cannot win, especially against someone like Amon, who has everything under his control.

He is like a puppet master, pulling strings from above while the rest are completely unaware.

"I still don't understand one this, why?" Angelica asks. "What do you mean, why?" Amon asks in return.

"Why do all this? Sure, Kent might have a little fortune under his name, but it's nothing to someone like you, so why go through all this trouble to mess with Kent?" Angelica asks.

"No particular reason. I found his wife beautiful, so I took her for myself. She no longer wanted to be with Kent anymore and wanted a divorce from him, but that would have been too boring, so I decided to mess with him a little. Nothing that serious," Amon says.

Angelica feels another chill run down her spine.

She can't believe Amon is doing all this just because he is bored and wants some excitement out of his lover's divorce? This man sitting before her is evil. But he is also the most powerful man she has ever come across.

To work for him is both the biggest blessing and the biggest curse. If she makes even a single mistake, it's over for her.

Angelica gets nervous, but she is also feeling a little excitement. What if her father's words hold true?

What if becoming a property of this man will lead to her climbing higher than her father ever could? Isn't that all she ever wanted?

But she has to confirm it first.

"Mr. Amon... No... Sir... what are your intentions with me?" She asks nervously.

Amon looks at Angelica. He doesn't speak, which makes Angelica even more nervous, but then Amon smiles again. "Like I said, you will be my lawyer from now on. I chose you because I thought it would be funny to see the reaction on Kent's face when he realizes who will be defending his wife, and you are also easy on the eyes.

You will do as I ask of you. I don't care what you are doing, who you are with, when I call for you, you will be there," Amon says and pauses to see Angelica's reaction.

She still looks nervous. "And if you manage to please me... Anything you want. You can have anything you want, and I mean anything," Amon says.

Angelica feels another chill run down her spine, but this time out of sheer excitement.

She just stumbled into the biggest fortune. She is now going to be the lawyer of one of the most powerful men in the world, and with it comes the opportunity to become one of the most powerful and influential women in the world.

Angelica felt a sense of glee like never before. She wants to jump on her desk with happiness, but she stops herself. She doesn't want to embarrass herself before her boss.

"One more thing... I hope you won't get offended if I ask you this?" Angelica voices her concern nervously.

"Go ahead, ask what you want to ask," Amon says.

"Sir... who exactly are you?" She asks again. This time, with much more respect.

Amon smiles. "I am the prince of the Khufu dynasty," Amon answers.

Angelica feels as if lightning just struck her ear. She can't believe a literal prince is sitting before her, and not just any prince. The prince of the Khufu dynasty.

Everyone knows that the Khufu dynasty, though not in power in name, still controls the entirety of the continent, and their wealth is beyond measure.

Everyone knows that the Khufu dynasty has an unimaginable amount of riches, but no one knows exactly, and the current monarch of the dynasty is completely unknown to the world. No one knows his name, where he is, or who he is, a man who lives in the shadows, controlling everything.

The same man is now sitting before her.

Technically, the most powerful man in the world.

No wonder he had her father quivering like a dog before him.

Angelica's hands start shaking. She wasn't ready for this.

She knew she now belonged to one of the men who lived in the shadows, but she never expected that she would belong to the prince himself.

"I will take my leave now. A file will be sent to you regarding everything you need for the trial. Do good work and you will be rewarded properly," Amon says, getting up from his chair.

"As you wish, Your Majesty!" Angelica says, getting up from her chair. She thought it was the only proper way to address Amon.

Amon chuckles.

"Make sure you don't go around telling people who I am, not even your father," Amon says.

"Yes, your majesty," Angelica says, keeping her head down.

Amon chuckles one last time and leaves Angelica to herself.

Once she sees that Amon is no longer anywhere around her office, she plops down on her chair, looking at the screen before her with wide eyes.

She feels her heart racing and her whole body shaking. She can't believe she just met the prince, who now owns her.

Angelica grabs her own wrist to stop her hands from shaking, but it's hard. She is full of adrenaline right now.

The only way for her to calm down is to get back to work, so she does just that.

Half an hour later, as Angelica is still trying to come to terms with what just happened to her, there is a knock on her door.

She flinches and looks up to see that it's her father.

Richard walks in and sees her daughter acting jumpy; he gets nervous, wondering if anything bad happened to her.

"What happened? What did he do to you?" Richard asks.

Angelica looks at her father, takes a deep breath, and begins talking. "You are right... He is one of them... The ones in the shadows," She says.

"What did he want?" Richard asks.

"Like he said, he wanted me to be his lawyer and do everything as he tells me to do," Angelica answers.

Hearing this, Richard takes a deep breath of relief. 'This could be a good thing,' He thinks, because if his daughter manages to make a good impression on him, she is set for life.

But then, he gets curious. He can't help it.

"Did you ask him who he is?" He asks. His voice trembles with nervousness.

Angelica nods her head.

"And what did he say?" He asks, there is clear excitement in his voice, as if he is just about to uncover one of the biggest mysteries.

"I think it's best if you don't know who he is, Dad," Angelica says.

Richard's excitement dies when he hears his daughter's words, but he nods his head. He knows he can't push his daughter for an answer. It will only endanger her life.

He knows his limits. 'It's best if I never bring this up, ever again,' Richard thinks.

"Do good," Richard says.

"I will, Dad," Angelica answers with a smile.

Richard smiles and leaves.
