Faith swallowed subtly and then gave a curt nod, her eyes gleaming with determination, "Yes. Tell me, what's your professional opinion about me?" She asked. Heaving a sigh, Jason shrugged as he said,"You're a sweetheart beneath all the toughness you like to put on. You wear a fake armor of being cold and unfazed, but unfortunately, your cousins and parents see it too clearly. You're afraid that if you show them how soft and caring you are deep down, they'll take advantage and walk over you. But you've come to realize that this facade isn't working either,"Pausing a little, Jason continued. A part of him wondered if he was going too far, still he pressed on,"You opted for being a people pleaser, always wanting to make your mother and your Grandma happy, and working diligently, in fact so hard that you neglect your own happiness and chase after their approval," He stopped as he saw that she had long stopped looking at him and had chosen to stare at the table with her clasped hands

After Madam Rita's explosive response and abrupt exit, Jason and Faith had gone out to lunch shortly, leaving behind the number of eyes that trailed after them,Even with everything that had happened, he could still feel the eyes of the crowd judging him by his appearance, he could care less about their opinions, he was only after Faith feeling better after the whole episode with her cousin and grandmother.They arrived at a popular fast-food restaurant that was neat and had only a handful of people in it at their arrival, as Faith took in her surroundings, she quirked her brows but said nothing, Not realizing how famished he was, Jason immediately ordered a burger, and milkshake along with some fries, while Faith just ordered the classic chicken and chips, Nibbling on a chip, Jason gazed at Faith with a gleam in his eyes,"So tell me something, Miss Head of Management, how does it feel to finally prove your family wrong and get the promotion," he asked as he picked up the Coke can

As Michael's lips neared Jason's feet, the room fell silent with bated breaths, all of their eyes fixed on what was happening before them, Jason's face was inscrutable, but he had a slight smug expression on his face,Faith's face was a mix of expressions, on one hand, she felt vindicated by Jason, knowing that Michael was finally having a taste of his medicine; Michael had been coming for her and today was no exception, but on the other, she felt a deep sense of guilt as well as a pang of pity or was it sympathy? She could hardly believe that her cousin had been reduced to such a humiliating state,At that moment, if a pin had dropped, everyone would have heard it but probably not paid attention as they watched keenly to see if truly Michael was going to kiss Jason's feet,“Is Michael truly going to kiss his feet?" One of Faith's cousins inquired with her mouth agape as she watched with keen interest,“Hmph! You see his lips close to those filthy legs, yet you wonder and ask if he wo

Uhm…ehh”Michael stuttered as she shifted from foot to foot,"Don't waste our time! Make the payments.” Mrs Rita responded, and then faced Faith,"Faith, call out your details so he can make the payments," she said with authority; she wasn't going to direct it to Jason, as she deemed him insignificant.Jason chuckled before he shook his head and responded,“You see, the thing is," he drawled, taking his swell time to continue while they sneered at him. He was enjoying seeing the beads of sweat on Michael's face trail down to his chin, clearing his throat he continued,“Well, the bet isn't a monetary one. I actually do not need his money"Scoffs went around the room at his statement, but he ignored their subtle remarks, gazing intently at Michael. Mrs Rita's face turned sour just as her brows furrowed, she glanced between Michael and Faith, throwing a questioning gaze at the former, as though she was asking him,‘What in the world have you done?!’In response, Michael shook his head an

At that moment, Michael was reminded of the stupid deal he had made with Jason at his insistence and he nearly shuddered. One look at Jason and he knew the same thought was running through the bastard’s mind and it caused a whirlwind of emotions within Michael, he felt anger and humiliation, internally wishing for the ground to open and swallow him or for an apocalypse to take place, he couldn't imagine himself apologizing to any of them, he would rather die.As though the universe was against him, his grandmother turned to him with a tight smile and gave him a curt nod,“Don't keep us waiting Michael, apologize and get on with it" Michael swallowed and nearly toppled over, it was as though something had slammed into him. Blinking furtively, he glanced at his grandmother who had her brows raised, and also spared a smirking Jason a glance,“We're waiting, Michael. Apologize to your cousin, so we can get on with the preparations,” his grandmother called out once again, and Michael visi

Without hesitation, Michael quickly picked up the remote and turned on the television; at the same time, a couple of his cousins and a few colleagues were glued to their phones, with their mouths wide open. Every other person's attention was glued to the television,The man from earlier appeared on the screen, and Michael sneered, seeing his face was a brutal reminder of the embarrassment he had faced there, still he tried to shake it off and concentrate on whatever the man had to say,“Whoa, that's the COO of Greenlife Group, he's also the acting CEO. He's not handsome but intimidating”"Yeah, he must know and be close with the CEO who remains a mystery, nobody knows what he looks like" A few people whispered amongst themselves while their eyes remained on the screen, Mr Ethan was about to speak, he was in a conference room that was filled with the men and women of the press,“Thank you all for joining me at such short notice. I do not take it for granted as time is valuable.” He im

September 29th 2009, “W-here's where's m-my Angel?” As Jason opened his eyes, he looked around, dazed. The eyes felt too heavy to be opened, but he refused to close them. As his eyes rested on the strange man, he blinked rapidly, "W-who are y-you?” he questioned while staring intently at the man, "For now, that's not important. You'll get to know me in time, but right now, we need to leave this shack! Your life is in danger!” The strange man muttered, his eyes darting between the shack and the door. Hearing the urgency in the man's voice, chills crept down Jason's frail body, and he gulped, returning his gaze to the man, he blinked once more, "W-what do you m-mean? I'm safe here, nobody will ever think to f-find me in a shack” The strange man scoffed, and shook his head, “Boy, if only you knew”, was his curt response, and as Jason watched him, he struggled to sit up against the bare and flat mattress that lay on the floor. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

Louisa, Cecil, William and Olivia had been charged to court and were tried and found guilty of some offences. Louisa and Williams, as well as Cecil, were each given forty years each, while Logan was given ten years. Williams, Cecil and Louisa were also charged with child abuse and trafficking and were sentenced to thirty years of jail time with hard labour. Olivia was also sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for criminal conspiracy and manipulation of the law. While those were living their lives in prison, Adam and the rest of his crew were living theirs to the fullest. Leila had organised a surprise party for Adam with the help of Amber, Mira, Evelyn as well and her sister Joan, they were all setting up Adam's house for his surprise birthday, His adoptive parents and siblings were also on the ground, as well as his grandfather. With Raul’s help, everyone who mattered had been invited, everyone who had been instrumental to Adam's growth and progress, as well as those who ha

Adam was back in the basement, and he walked straight to the den of the old man, with Raul trailing behind him. He walked into the den and met the Old Man and Sage Robinson already sitting and waiting for him. They had heard the news and were waiting to congratulate him. “The man of the moment,” Dreymond called out from the corner where he was seated and Adam turned to see him and Amber seated together. Adam had not seen Amber since the other day at the coast brother’s basement and he was glad that she was recuperating. Old man Thompson stood up and walked towards Adam as they both approached each other. The old man saw the passion in his eyes and stopped. He tapped him on the shoulder and nodded his head, and everyone in the room had to do the same. That was the brotherhood way of celebration, “Weldon Adam,” The old man said and patted him on both sides of his shoulder. He was in prison with Adam, and he knew how he had fought for this moment, and he was very proud to be part of

After Adam had dropped her off, Leila walked into their home with sweaty palms, occasionally biting at her lips,She tried to keep her cool and not let her nerves get the best of her. She had already told Joan that she would be back just in time for their dad's arrival, and now, she had probably missed that. She walked into the living room gently, trying to be as silent as possible, hoping not to bump into either Joan or her father she tried to sneak in but she faltered in her steps with popping eyes to discover both of them in the sitting room discussing,“Leila.” Her dad called out gently as she walked in, with her gaze lowered and her fingers crossed at her back,“Come here, princess.” Her father said, spreading out his arms to receive her in for a hug. “I am sorry I was not here to welcome you, papa.” She whispered tearfully as she hugged her father tightly,“I know I have disappointed you; please forgive me, papa.” She said as she continued to let it rain with her tears.“I am

Seeing the expression on Mira's face, her mother quickly ran towards her and immediately grabbed the phone out of her hand, glancing at Adam before glancing at the phone, and as she did, her hands began shaking and her eyes popped out, also gasping like her daughter, “W-what. Un-unbelievable, Im-po-ssible” she kept stuttering and looking dazedly at Adam, Mira gaped at her empty hand, and back at Adam, her mouth agape. She swallowed and looked at him, “Fifty million euros, Adam?" As soon as she revealed the amount, everyone around gasped and turned their gaze at Adam, whose cheeks were turning slightly red; he nodded subtly at Mira while Leila stood staring at him unabashedly, grinning from ear to ear. Still smiling a little, Adam informed a still-stunned Mira, “One of my men will reach out to you, I'd like for you to head one of my companies. You were instrumental in my daughter's well-being as well as meeting a great woman" he cast a glance at Leila and she blushed. Madam Ruth

Once again Madam Ruth burst into a loud laughter, clutching her stomach as she did. Every other person watched as she laughed, Mira on the other hand gaped at Adam, unable to string any words together,A part of her was certain the reveal was true as there was something about Adam that was quite different and he didn't seem like a pauper the way her mother had made him out to be.Leila's eyes darted at Adam, and she tried holding their gaze to confirm it, but Adam wasn't looking at her; his face was almost blank, sans the little smirk she caught on his face. She found herself wondering if whatever he had to reveal was in line with what had just been revealed.Madam Ruth once again cut short her laughter and spluttered, glancing at the manager as she spoke in a disbelieving voice,“Are you blind or what? Or perhaps you hit your head on the way here," she deduced mockingly, and the man sneered at her, refraining from deeming her with a reply.The man, alongside others, ignored her, as A

"So he's preparing yet another attack, but this time, using a different approach," Alice muttered after a while coming back to her senses."Bingo!" Richard nodded, slapping his thigh while chuckling."Why are you laughing? What's funny?" Alice frowned slightly, staring at Richard wondering why he was laughing."Aren't you supposed to be thinking of a way to prevent Andrew from attacking you? You look so relaxed when you know there's danger up ahead,""Why should I be worried," Richard stopped laughing, seeing Alice was a little bit crossed."I know you don't take Andrew seriously, but at least I know whatever he would do would have a great impact on your reputation. Are you still going to let him do what he wants?" Alice stared at Richard, not believing her eyes.This guy before her could correctly tell his opponent's next move, yet he was not willing to fight back. Who the heck acts like them?"Alright you don't have to take this seriously," Richard sighed, seeing that Alice wouldn't

"Congratulations on your victory," Alice congratulated Richard just as he stepped into the prison.She had been up for a while and was lucky to watch the court proceedings aired.Though she knew Richard would win, the way he had won was effortless. What's more, the citizens all came to gather around him, asking for his forgiveness, at the same time cursing at Cassandra and Andrew for misleading them."What victory," Richard chuckled, collapsing on the sofa with a smile on his face."You just dealt with the most pressing issue on the ground, and you've made Andrew realize that he's not your match," Alice stated slowly, observing Richard's expression."Is that so?" Richard raised his brows, staring at Alice, the smile at the corner of his face slowly turned even."What is wrong?" Alice muttered, seemingly confused at the whole thing."Andrew should have known. At least he should be willing to withdraw now and focus on other things other than having to fight with you.""Do you really thi

"Huh?"Mia froze hearing this, believing her ears. Though she knew Andrew wouldn't lie to her, she was also a bit skeptical about what he had just said."It sounds funny huh?" Andrew chuckled, seeing the shock on Mia's face."Yes sir," Mia nodded, still not wanting to believe what Andrew had said."Well, I was also shocked when it happened yesterday, but I had no other choice but to accept the truth," Andrew shook his head getting into the car."Yesterday was a long night, and I even went to confront him, and he didn't deny it," Andrew continued with a sigh, sadness written all over her face.Hearing this, Mia's face became twisted as she clenched her fist feeling rather annoyed.Andrew was here, trying to use all of his brain to solve the problem in the city, but Richard was busy creating problems for him.What kind of ex-mayor was he? Seemed like she would have to go and find him. This was getting out of the line."You don't need to get upset by all of these, I'll definitely find a

"Fuck, this is over!"Andrew cursed angrily, throwing away his phone, crashing it onto the ground, and shattering it into pieces.Just as expected, Richard won the case quite effortlessly. Now, all the reputation he struggled to build had scattered.The public was hurling a lot of insults at him. Though most of them were still directed at Cassandra, he still took some of them, and this made him really uncomfortable.Why in hell were they going to involve him in something he didn't know about? But he was pretty helpless and could only curse angrily.Staring at the broken phone, Andrew felt his anger dissipate a bit. Then he crashed on the sofa, closing his eyes."Ring!"The landline in the office rang at the moment, pulling Andrew out of his thoughts.Standing up, he stomped angrily towards the landline, intending to insult the hell out of whoever was at the other end.Why in the heavens would they call him at a time like this? Didn't they know he was annoyed?"Andrew!" Harlod's old vo

"Where are you headed?" Alice stared at Richard who was preparing to go out."I'm heading to the court, would you be willing to come along?" Richard answered, extending an invitation to Alice who hurriedly shook her head."There's nothing I need to go and see in court; you can just go and solve the issue yourself; there's no need for you to involve me," Alice rejected Richard's invitation.The safest place she could and would be was this place. In this place, Richard was the leader and he didn't seem to want to hurt her.This was such a safe haven, why would she want to leave? She would be a fool if she ever thought of leaving.She might even scold herself if she thought about it. What the heck was that?"You don't need to be scared; I just want you to witness how I'll deal with your mayor," Richard laughed, sitting back on the couch."Do you think Cassandra would come to Court?" Alice stared at Richard and inquired.She also knew what was happening. Also, Richard told her everything

"Does that mean there's nothing else we can do?" Andrew inquired sceptically, his heart pounding against his chest while he prayed that was not the answer."Yes, there's nothing else you can do. We can only receive this blow from Richard and then look for a way to hit back even harder," Harlod's reply came from the other end of the phone.Andrew sighed not knowing what else to say. There was nothing he could say even if he wanted to say something.What could he possibly say at this point? He was already defeated by Richard."I'll call you when I think of something, but for now, we just have to take it as it is. Also, don't try to do anything, else it would just increase how hard the punch would hit," Harold warned, knowing Andrew might try to do something."Fine" Andrew gritted his teeth. Though he was not willing, he had no other choice but to listen to Harlod.Ending the call, he collapsed on the sofa not knowing what else to do. What would be his next line of action?Seemed like he
