“You all know why I called for this meeting?” Andrew asked, scanning the room to see who would reply him, but they all kept quiet and he continued facing Mr white.“Did you retrieve the goods successfully?” Andrew asked, facing him completely this time, with a stern look in his eyes.“Yes sir, I made sure my boys retrieved the goods from the Jefferson’s sir”, Mr White replied, wondering why the meeting had to start with him.Andrew was going to make the Jefferson’s family pay for all they had done to him and Maliya. He had plotted to make them go bankrupt by buying their shares and it seemed all was going as planned. He gave a satisfied smirk and turned to address the men in the room.“I hope you all played your roles very well because I won’t tolerate any mistakes”, Andrew asked, looking at them sternly.“The Golden Link group has been selling low quality goods for a while now and we are going to stop them at all costs”. Everyone knew Andrew was after the Jeffersons family group, but

With Stanley Coker agreeing to Maliya’s conditions, Maliya returned to the family despite Andrew’s doubt about her family ever regarding her but he swore to make the Coker family need Maliya,they were going to beg her on their knees.Upon Maliya’s rejoining the family, the contract between the Coker family and Mr Green was once again established and ten percent of the family earnings was given to Barth Coker, Maliya’s father.“Good morning sweetheart”, Andrew greeted his wife as she yawned and stretched. A sweet smile grew on her lips immediately she heard those words.“Morning baby”, she answered, forgetting all her worries. “What time is it?” she asked, looking at the enormous wall clock hanging on the wall.“Oh! Shoot, how can I forget?” She said, smacking her forehead and rushing to get up, totally ignoring her husband who held breakfast, standing by her bedside, seemingly disappointed that she didn’t notice. “Maliya I made breakfast for you”, Andrew said, not sounding happy but

Eric was out of his head on the way home. He couldn't believe what had transpired from the moment he got there up to this very moment. “You both can't be serious. I don't believe any of this is serious. You can't actually be serious”. This was the third time he said this on the drive home and all three times he was ignored. “How am I going to let that stinking silly cousin of mine get what she wants just because one stupid old man said he won't work with them until she signs that she's still a member of the family. A family that as far as I'm concerned no longer even wants her to be a part of. Why is partnering with an old fool so important?” Eric thought maliciously. “Grandfather will never agree to this deal. He obviously knows better than both of you”, he said to his parents. “So you think you know better than both of us?” Raymond replied to him. “Apparently yes at least I know that someone like Maliya is not supposed to have any part in the affairs of this family let alone t

Andrew stood side by side with Maliya as they waited for Raymond Coker, Eric Coker and Aunt Maira to come out of the car and apologise to Maliya. Andrew knew they would do whatever he wanted because of how desperate they were to take Maliya back just so the partnership with the Green Group could go on. Aunt Maira was the first to come out. Raymond Coker was the next and finally Eric Coker who came out looking angry and ready for a fight. But of course he would not dare fight anyone not at this point. “Maliya dear, I'm sorry for kicking you out of the house. Truly truly sorry. We were just angry because of the situation but now we clearly understand. Can you please find it in your heart to forgive us all”, Maira pleaded.“You're only supposed to apologise for what you did. Everyone will get his or her turn to do theirs”, Andrew told Maira.“Alright then”, she said, "Maliya Darling please do find it in your heart to forgive your dear old Aunt Maira. I didn't mean to hurt you in whatev

Andrew smiled and hugged Maliya back. He had not seen her this jolly for sometime now. She looked like a little girl as she jumped happily.“She really loves that family of hers despite all they have done to her”, Andrew thought, looking at her with admiration. “Honey, I need to get my things ready. Uncle Raymond will be here soon”, Maliya said as she opened the wardrobe to bring out her clothes.“Alright love. But before we pack your bag,there is something I would like you to see”, Andrew said with a blank face. Noticing his seriousness, Maliya left her clothes in the wardrobe and went to sit next to him,“What is it honey?” Maliya asked, frowningHe turned and faced her, then he said, holding her hands, “I know you love your family and want to go back home honey. But I don't want you to go back without knowing the real truth”.“What truth honey?” Maliya asked with worried eyes.Andrew switched on the television. Fred Green’s face was the first thing that appeared on the television

Raymond left his father's room and went back home to quickly shower and change into his clothes. His house was only a few blocks from the Coker family mansion so was home in less than two minutes.He dashed into the house and went directly to the bedroom he shared with his wife. His wife was in the kitchen making breakfast for the family. So he entered their bathroom to have a quick shower. “Dad! Dad! Where are you Dad! You need to come see this.

What is so urgent that you can't wait till you get to the kitchen to tell me?” Maira asked her daughter when Catherine entered the kitchen. “Mum, where is Dad? I just saw him come in. I thought I'd find him here with you. Something is wrong. Fred Green was on the news right now. He was in a press conference. He just annulled our partnership with the Green Group. The news is still on”, Catherine said and ran off to her paren
