Chapter 74 - SO WHATS NEXT???

The papers were signed transferring everything back to Valeria's name.

Kian did not hesitate in signing away all that he had owned and built for fifteen years.

After signing, Madison gave those papers back to Valeria's lawyers to analyze the details.

Like an auction, Valeria bought everything he owned ranging from the cars, the houses, the condos, his private islands, small investing firms...everything that was on the papers.

He held tight onto Madison's hand as the lawyer went on naming out what he had lost and gained nothing from it.

A major blow was when his bank account was to be frozen and that made him worried for the first time.

"The transfer is done. Mrs Valeria Wilson, you are officially the owner of everything that the Wilson owns and has a name on it."

Valeria nodded and gave her signatures on all the papers, sealing the deal, officially accepting the resignation of Kian.

"I appoint Josh Herrington as my acting CEO for the time being."

Valeria declared and in came Josh with a sinister smirk plastered on his face as he passed a triumphant look at Kian.

Valeria asked him to sign on the papers and he did so very willingly. The board members clapped on getting their new CEO.

Kian did not see the need to stay there any longer. His resignation was officialised and the paper works were done for so he decided it was time to leave and never return here in this lifetime.

Valeria noticed that and whispered onto the ears of her family lawyer to ready the paperwork for transferring the name of her family from his.

"One moment..."

She called out, halting Kian and Madison on their steps to outside.

"We are not done with taking my name away from yours. "

Kian smiled at the cruel tactics of his aunt to hold him back. But sadly he was not intending to ever return.

"Wilson was never my name, to begin with."

He said as he stormed forward and without any hesitation signed away on the legal paper denouncing his last name and taking his maiden's name, Randall henceforth.

"And we are all done."

With that, he pulled Madison away with him as they both walked out of the office and stepped inside the lift.

Every employee bowed at them as they passed out of the place. Kian had a straight face and Madison smiled at them on his behalf.

The press marched towards them as both walked out of the Wilson Headquarter. The guards came to their rescue.

Kian was about to head to his Mercedes but stopped on midway as he realized it was not his anymore when Madison held him back.

She gave him a faint smile and led him to her Range Rover. He got in the passenger seat and she walked over to the driver's before starting the engine and driving away from there as the paparazzi ran after the vehicle.

________________________________________________

Madison stopped on the spot where he would ask her to drive often whenever he was in distress.

It was always cool and calm there. The cemetery where his dead mother was laid to rest forever...his mother's graveyard in the countryside.

Kian looked at her as he was not expecting her to dive them here at all. His mind was so preoccupied that he had not realized she had driven them here.

"You need it...to freshen up your mind for a new start. "

Madison said, opening his side of the door by pressing the button on her side.

Kian was glad that he had a friend like her. God knows, what would he have done without her.

He took a deep breath and stepped out of the vehicle. The light shower of rain partially wet his face and suit as he walked up to the graveyard.

Madison parked the car and got out herself too. The cool drizzle relieved everyone's soul.

She waited for him, leaning on the gateway to the church. She avoided the urge to go and look after him.

She knew it was the time he needed to be alone and think about what to be done next.

In all of these, they forgot about Tinsley. It was only then Madison recalled, Tinsley had no idea what was happening at all.

Not wanting her to be in darkness, she decided to text her and warn her that everything was going to change in a short while.

But Kian had come already so she just shortly texted her saying that things were to change.

She slipped her phone back in her skirt pocket to look up at him.

"So what's next??"

She asked with an exciting voice, trying to ease the stress of the circumstance.

"As always my software firm. "

Was his reply, short and simple.

"It's not going to be easy. I have no money, no investors and with a ruined reputation, we are going to have a hard time finding people to invest....plus I have no idea where to start."

Kian summarized. Madison nodded her head in understanding.

"We will sort a way out. Do not worry and with that brain of yours, within a year or few, we will be ruling the software arena."

She said, laughing softly.

"Thank you, Madison. "

"You do not really have to. We are working buddies."

She voiced out, patting on his shoulder.

"You really do not have to stay back here for me. Valeria will accept you back or any other major company...they all want you.."

Madison cut him short, narrowing her gaze at him.

"I have self-respect too Kian Randall and I work on my own accords...I work where I want to and I want to work with you."

"You are stubborn but you can't complain about having to work without salary for a while. "

Kian declared to which Madison groaned out.

"As if I work only for money??"

"But do everyone not, work for money??"

Kian implored, glancing at her.

"I m just different then, Mr Randall."

They both laughed at that, trying their best to find even the tiny bit of comfort that they could gather in the most stressful moment of their life.
