NICOLAS’ POV “Maya, he is awake. Fetch the doctor.” Kent's voice filled my ears as my eyes fluttered open. The bright hospital lights nearly blinded me. I groaned, blinking a few times to adjust to it. “How the hell did I get here?” I grunted inaudibly. “You okay, man?” Kent queried, tapping my shoulder. “Aye, I am good,” I lied, meanwhile, a pounding headache was drilling through my skull. “Perfect! You scared the s**t out of everyone.” “What happened?” “You don’t remember?” “Nope.” “You passed out after receiving this,” he reported, flashing a document at me. Then it all came rushing back. We were celebrating my latest success when I received that notice — that all of Andrea’s wealth was no longer in my name. And it was stamped by the President himself. An executive order!
