A few hours later, Roland and his father arrived at the Lafayette Group.Before that, he told his father that he didn't want to garner unnecessary attention. His father yielded to his request.They got to the company unannounced and this time, not with a bunch of cars following them from behind."Son, I'll introduce you to the shareholders and the board of directors. They'll have to recognize you as their new CEO." The chairman have Roland a warm gesture.Roland loved the feeling he was having, he was happy to have the chairman as his father."I can't wait for that to happen, sir...I mean...dad!" Roland giggled."Don't worry, you'll get used to it." His father reassured him.They walked past the secretary and some staff and they were surprised by the Chairman's sudden visit as no one promulgated his return.The secretary recognized Roland and was surprised to see him walking gracefully beside the chairman.They used the Chairman's elevator and then got to the first floor.Chairman Laf

"Young Master, who did this to you?" The Butler asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone.The chairman was in his study, while they were in Roland's room."I got beaten by someone who I don't seem to remember," Roland said as he fizzled out in despair.His cheeks hurt badly."We'll send the men to uncover who the man is but before then, I'll go inform the chairman." The Butler was about to leave when Roland held his arm, halting his steps."I don't want to trouble father not now that I'm still making an effort to please him." Roland removed his hand from the old man's arm as he fell on his bed, facing the awning."But he has to know." The Butler said in a whisper."He doesn't have to know and I'll be indoors for some days. As you can see my mouth is swollen." Roland indicated the left side of his cheek which was swollen because of the several punches he received."What should I tell him then?""Just tell him I'm sick, that I'll be okay." Roland finally said before shutting his eyes.T

Somewhere in another city, Katherine was sitting all alone in her room with a weary look on her face.Ever since she started living with he parents, things turned out for the worst for her.She was being caged like a princess in her own father's house, and even the few servants had denied her freedom.While Katherine was in deep thought on how to escape from her father's house, a maid barged into her room, disrupting her peace.Katherine threw a tantrum immediately and the maid was lucky Katherine didn't throw a fit.The lass wasn't in the mood to face anymore as she had been murmuring and cursing inwardly ever since she was alone and got nothing else to do."Can't you knock before entering?" Katherine asked angrily with a frown sitting on her face.The fact that she was locked up in her room all day even made her get angrier."I knocked but didn't get a reply...so...""...so you had to barge in." Katherine rolled her eyes at the maid.The maid didn't hesitate to state her business; wh

"Oh my! Roland?" Anthony gasps in shock.Roland's bruises were exposed to Anthony's gaze.Seeing the young man's startled expression, Roland chuckled. "You seem surprised to see me!""..."Anthony lowered his gaze as he felt guilty for what he did to Roland. His obsession and over-possession took the better of him."You punched me in the face severally. If only I recognized you earlier." Roland yelled angrily and spat on Anthony's face.Anthony cursed Roland as he spat back at him. "You stupid man!" "Pardon?" Roland snapped his fingers at one of his men and they brought him a chair to sit on, opposite Anthony.He was ready to have a man-to-man discussion with Anthony. Like a detective interrogating a criminal.Roland told his men to stay put and not let their guards down."You better behave well, unless...you know what comes next," Roland warned Anthony, glaring at him with a smirk on his face."What do you want from me, Roland?" Anthony was trembling, he struggled to break free fro

"Boss, here's the information about the man you want dead." A masculine voice spoke. He handed over a piece of relative documents to the man standing opposite him."I thought I sent you to get the job done. Why didn't you kill him rather than give me his information?" "That man holds an important identity and he's not a person to be toyed with." The man said with a weary voice.The unknown man held the document firmly. "I thought you were the right person for the job.""I've carried out lots of dirty jobs but this one...this one...I'll end up dead even before getting the job done."The unknown man sighed. He couldn't see the man's face clearly because they were in a dark alley. "You'll have to refund my money then.""..."He heard the man laugh."Refund your money?" He chuckled darkly. "Do you know how much it costs me to get his background check?""Really? Is the information enough for me to get him killed? Is it enough for me to put an end to him?" "That's up to you. My job here i
