"Mum, I was so helpless. I had no choice but to heed their demands..." Michael said. "Madam, your time is up." A policeman told Mrs Allison. "Alright," Mrs Allison responded. "Michael, I've heard all that you said, and I can assure you that you'll soon be out of here." Mrs Allison promised as she moved out of the room. Later that evening, Mrs Allison and her husband were together in their bedroom discussing. "Darling, do you know I went to see Michael at the cell today?" Mrs Allison said. "Okay. So why did you go?" Mr Allison asked with a frown on his face. "But why? Do you need to ask me such a question? Don't forget that he's still our son." Mrs Allison said."I refuse to indulge a criminal just because he happens to be our son. Leave Michael alone and let him face the consequences of his action!" Mr Allison spoke aloud. "But why? Why will you call your son a criminal when you're not sure if he's in any way at fault..." "Don't tell me that! That boy is a criminal!" Mr Allison interr

Stephanie had relocated to a small apartment where she planned to be staying with Gerald for the time being. She had some money which she had saved in her account that she intended to use in sustaining herself and her child, till she would be able to get a good job for herself. She sat down in the small sitting room of the apartment she had just rented, thinking of how she started with Jakes, and how he ended up betraying her. As thoughts of Jakes crossed her mind, uncontrollable tears flowed down her cheeks. She was more pained that Michelle was carrying his baby. "Why would he allow another woman to have a child for him?" Stephanie thought to herself. She hated Jakes for that, and she determined never to forgive him.She thought of how she could move on in getting a job, believing that it would help to take her mind off Jakes. "Gerald is a little matured now, so I can register him in a creche." Stephanie thought to herself. She decided to apply to companies around her and put Geral

Mr Allison had been able to source for some loans, even though he had several debts he was yet to pay up, which were collected in a bid to revive 'The Class of Verity.' And even though 'The Class of Verity' was now in a completely broken state, he was determined to bring it back to its feet gradually. He tried to put together a formidable team from the previous staff of the company, and they brought in ideas and suggestions of how the company could return successfully.Everything was gradually put in shape, and 'The Class of Verity' was slated to open on the first week of the following month. Mr Allison and his wife discussed the reopening ceremony of the company and what they envisaged in the coming years as they sat down to relax on one of their sitting room sofas. "I'm so excited that The Class of Verity will finally be reopened," Mrs Allison told her husband. "Same here, dear. And it will be reopening as a result of hard work and determination." Mr Allison said."Sure. Just that t

At "The Legends," four of the staff including John and Lucas were seen together during their lunchtime. They sat together at the same table at the company's restaurant, chatting as they ate their food. "The hatred most staff of 'The Legends' have for Mr Jakes is indeed great," a female staff said."You can say that again. Everyone sees him as irresponsible and wicked. There's also a rumour going on that he steals money belonging to the company. And he spends more than the salary he receives monthly," a male staff responded."Yes, I agree with you. I heard that he owns a house in one of the choicest parts of the city. And he lives comfortably, compared to what he earns monthly. That man is so fraudulent! And he doesn't have what it takes to become the company's CEO," another staff said. "Yes, he doesn't. He only became the CEO through the back door," John said, as they all laughed together."I heard from a reliable source that he wants to sack some of the company staff and bring in som

It was another day of work at "The Class of Verity." Office operations had fully started in the company within the last week. Kent Loire had been made the CEO of "The Class of Verity", even though Mr Allison preferred a family member to fill up the position. This time around, he seemed to have no choice. Kent had moved on after the closedown of the company and was now involved in a corporate business, until Mr Allison encouraged him to return to The Class of Verity, promising to make him the CEO. Kent had proved himself to be very loyal, hardworking, and dedicated in the past, while he worked at "The Class of Verity.'" Asides from that, he was long overdue for a promotion, while the company was still open. The new staff of The Class of Verity seemed to be glad to have Kent as their CEO. They congratulated him and promised to make work easier for him.Since things were gradually beginning to take shape in the company, Mr Allison decided to travel on his business trip, leaving the care
