It was a new day at "The Legends." Jakes had resumed work early as usual. He just settled down, when his secretary walked into his office and read out his pinned schedule for the day. When he was done reading them out, he acted like he just remembered something. "That reminds me, I was told that a board meeting will be coming up today," the secretary said."Okay. Thank you. You can now leave." Jakes said as he dismissed his Secretary. "Wow, so the first board meeting with Pa Drakes as the chairman would be held today," Jakes said to himself. Anytime he wasn't invited to meetings like that, he knew that he wasn't expected to be there. Asides from that, he wasn't yet a member of the board.********It was 1 pm, the time fixed for the board meeting at The Legends. Pa Drakes and the other board members were seated together in one of the company's conference rooms. They discussed several issues that pertained to the growth and development of the company, and they made concrete decisions th

It was another day at "The Class of Verity." Michael had resumed work as usual and was checking out some documents on his table. After checking them for a while, he picked up the telephone on his table and dialled a number. "Please, come over to my office immediately," Michael said. After a short while, his office door was pushed open, and a young woman walked in. "Good day, Sir." The woman greeted. "Good day. Can I see the charts of accounts for The Class of Verity?" Michael asked. "Of course, yes. I'll be with you shortly," the young woman said, as she walked out of Michael's office. Within a short while, the door of the office was pushed open again, as the woman walked in with a book in her hands. "Thank you," Michael said as he collected the book from her hand. Then he gestured with his right hand for her to leave. As soon as the woman left, he had his phone rang, so he picked it up. "Yes, I'll be with you shortly," Michael said as he hung up the phone. He tried to rush in to che

"So tell me about it?" John asked Michelle. "He has refused to claim ownership of the baby, despite the several attempts I made," Michelle replied. "That's a good one," John said. "What?" Michelle asked. She was surprised at John's answer. "Yes. It's good that he's denying ownership of the baby. It makes it easy to carry out our alternative plans." John said."Come close. Let me hint you of the plan," John said, as he moved close to Michelle and whispered into her ears. On hearing what John said, Michelle smiled at John. "I understand you, very perfectly. I'll do just that." Michelle said. "When it all becomes a reality, then you will have your share of the cake," John promised. "Alright, John," Michelle said, as the both of them dispersed.It was lunchtime at "The Legends" and Jakes was preparing to step out of his office for lunch. He had planned to spend his lunchtime at one of the company's relaxation areas. Just when he was about to pick up his phone from his desk, he heard a sou

"Hello, Uncle. We need to see." Michael told Mr Smart over the phone. It was almost closing time at The Class of Verity, and Michael was tidying up his desk and placing some files on his office shelf when he remembered that he was supposed to call his Uncle before leaving."Okay. So can we see tomorrow?" Mr Smart asked. "Tomorrow would have been okay. But it's just that I can't wait to see you today. I can't bear to keep the news till we meet tomorrow. It just has to be today; this evening." Michael said. "Alright then. So where should we meet?" Mr Smart asked. "Let us meet at the usual place - Duncan's house," Michael said. "Okay. Then, that's fine by me." Mr Smart replied. "6 pm to be precise," Michael said, as he hung up the phone.Michael finished clearing up his desk, and then he set out of the company into his red SUV vehicle, heading for his friend's house. Duncan and Michael had been friends for five years, and they seemed to be very compatible because their way of life and cha

Mr Allison had informed the police about Michael's fraudulent actions, and steps were been taken to track him down. He decided to call his estate agent, Mr Scott, to keep an eye on his properties, because he wasn't sure of Michael's next move, and he thought it wise to guard his remaining properties and investments.He picked up his phone to dial Mr Scott's number. "Hello, Mr Scott. I'll need you to be careful about Michael. That guy is a criminal. I could assist in providing you with a security agent. Make sure that the estate documents are kept safe and inaccessible." Mr Allison said. "Alright, Sir. I'll take note of that." Mr Scott replied as Mr Allison hung up the phone."The Class of Verity" was now closed down since Michael was yet to be found, and there was no money left in the company's account for its running. Mr and Mrs Allison were bothered about the state of things, and both of them thought of the next steps to take. The shock was so much for Mrs Allison as she wondered wh
