Revelation
RutherfordAfter taking a last look at myself at the mirror, I was satisfied with what I saw. My new ash suit fits properly and the white tie gave it a perfect look.I smiled at myself and turned and picked up my briefcase, took a last look at the room before sauntering down the hallways. Dad had traveled out of the country for some business and as the eldest son of the house, it is my duty to ensure the smooth running of the company. Mum had advised me to work really hard to gain the favor of dad and the shareholders so that my opportunity of becoming the sole heir will be fully guaranteed and I am doing just that. Although the opposition from my crafty grandmother is really making things difficult.Just then, I paused when I heard some voices coming from the old woman's room. What could they be discussing so early in the morning?. I peeped through the keyhole to see Janet massaging Grandma Athaliah's leg. This two is a scary combination, making me wonder what they were up to so earl

Set up
RutherfordI turned restlessly on the swivel chair as many thoughts ran through my head. I still don't understand why an old woman can be so greedily thirsty for power. If she has threatened to make my stepbrother the sole heir, then I really have a lot to handle.Dad has just two sons with mum because Athaliah had asked him to stop getting her pregnant. Too much children would means less property for her. Because she might be left with nothing, before he would be done sharing the properties among the children. And dad obediently agreed. This is how influential the old woman can be. "Sir. Sir. Are you listening to us sir?" I heard one of my managers say, bringing me out of my thoughts.This is the third time that I am blanking out like this. I looked around to see everyone staring at me with worried and confused looks. I am not the type that loses focus during meetings."Is everything alright sir?" Steven, my personal assistant whispered to me.I nooded positively, adjusting my tie.

Broken walls
AthaliahI walked to and fro my room, trying really hard to convince myself that what I heard was wrong. Ethan has informed me earlier that he overhead Gina telling someone over the phone that Silverado has planned on naming his heir tonight during his welcoming party.How is that even possible?. My son can never take a decision without letting me know first. I have trained him to do so and he has been doing just that. What now went wrong?.I shook off the scary thought as I tried to convince myself that Ethan must have heard wrong. He just have to be wrong. But then, if he could come home without letting me know then he could do worse. My heart missed a beat as I hurried out of my room, towards Silverado's. My hard work of almost fifty years cannot be in vain. I had put many efforts to make Silverado see me as the only person that truly cares about him in this wide world. I had fed him with a lot of lies as a growing child and I was certain that he would forever remain a weakling in

He's back!
EthanThe news of the massacre of most of the Silverado's family by poison became the talk of the town. Many people believed it was done by their numerous opponents while I believe it was done by my grandmother Athaliah. I had only told her and mum about what i heard in the office, I never expected her to kill everyone - including my mum.Tears flew down my eyes as i gulped down more alcohol. I should have kept shut and mind my business that day. Then maybe, my mother would have still be alive. My thought is interrupted by the sudden emergence of grandma Athaliah who has managed to get the media to convince everyone that the massacre was done by our enemies and she only managed to escape with me because we weren't in the house during the attack."You've been drinking for the past six days. Get on your feet and get to work" Athaliah commanded. I shot her a hard stare and without saying a word, i concentrated on gulping down more alcohol. As much as I wanted to strangle the woman's ne

Be my cohort
MadisonI clenched my fist in anger as i alighted from the limo, my goons surrounded me as i walked into the hotel. Rogers killed my son and had somehow managed to escape for the past 8 months, but today it was going to end. How i wish Rutherford was with me. But I have to make sure that they never find out about Rutherford as he is my hope of ending all these problems.“At last the long awaited Madison is here.” Rogers had a slick smile as I walked in. As much as I wanted to reach out for his neck and strangle him so hard until he drops dead, I had to maintain my calmness. I have been trying to convince the table that I am fit to be the next head and I can't ruin my chances. “Gentlemen, evening.”The Red Table meets rarely as we try as much as we could to evade all law enforcements. Till date, no one knows any member of the Red Table and we try our possible best to keep it that way.The Red Table consists of seven members, Silverado Magana ex Head of the table, CEO of Silverado Empi

Forced Marriage
DianaI stormed into my father's study, my face twisted in anger. "How could you do this to me, Father?" I exclaimed, throwing a crumpled letter onto his desk.My father, one of the influential man in Florida, looked up from his work with a sigh. He must have been expecting my visit. "What is the matter now, Diana?" he asked, trying to keep his voice calm."This!" I gestured angrily at the letter. "You have arranged for me to marry some annoying random man whom I barely know. I won't do it, dad. I won't be tied down to someone I don't even love."He shot me a hard stare. "Diana, you are twenty years old and has come of age to get married and as your dad, I have gotten you a perfect husband. You should be happy and not the other way round." " I'm not asking for your help dad. I don't need your help. I will get married at the right time and to the right person" "We're both saying the same thing honey. The right time is now and the right person is Rutherford. He is a good match and wil

A bride or spy
DianaMy face glowed with sadness as my best friend combed my brown shadowed hair and fixed it into a bun. It is my wedding day and unlike other brides, it's one of the saddest days of my life.Dolly made to apply makeup but I stopped her. "Why should I add color to my face when my life is about to loose its color. " I mumbled as I stared into the mirror to behold a really sad young lady dressed in white and looked more like a forced bride."Don't say that Di. You're getting married, not like it's a burial or something."."What could be worse than getting married to a total stranger who you know nothing about?. A burial should be more preferable than this.""Come on Diana. You haven't even seen the young man. Who knows, he might be hotter and even richer than your Ethan. Just be optimistic and give the young man a chance."I turned to glare at her. She should be thinking of a way to help me escape and not all this. "If you are so optimistic, why not go and get married to him in my ste

Rutherford DeVille
Rutherford "Rutherford DeVille, do you accept Diana Roger to be your lawfully wedded wife?. In riches and poverty, in sickness or health, until death do you apart?" The bald head priest asked with his eyes fixed on me.I swallowed hard as my eyes fell on the lady standing before me with sadness blooming on her face. She shot me a dead glare, probably warning me to say No and run away from this unwanted marriage. But unfortunately, I can't. Even after knowing that she is a rude, spoilt brat."Yes, I do" I forced a smile, causing her face to drop into more sadness."Diana Roger, do you accept Rutherford DeVille to be your lawfully wedded wife?. In rich and poverty, in sickness or health, until death do you apart?"She hesitated. The large foyer which contained the priest, few members of the Red table and some unknown faces, went quiet as they await the response of the confused princess. Looks like she really loves Ethan, I hope Ethan does too. This will add more fun to my plan.Roger l

Like Grandma like grandson
EthanI stood in the midst of the garden, patiently waiting for Diana. I didn't attend the wedding because I can't stand the sight of my woman being beside another man. That Rutherford of a guy must be so lucky to win Roger's approval. Rutherford?. Argh. Why does that name send cold chill than my spines.I was still lost in my thoughts when a hand suddenly wrapped around me. My nose was covered with her familiar, expensive fragrance."Hi honey. Did you miss me?" Diana spoke into my ear, placing kisses down my neck.I broke from the hug and turned to face her. I didn't want to get so intimate, I wouldn't want to risk waking my second man. It takes a lot of effort to take him down again."Aren't you really scared of being laid in a garden?" I smirked and grabbed her waist with my left arm."That definitely sounds like fun" She bit her lip seductively.This is one of the things that get me attracted to her - she's such a bad girl. I moved my other hand to hold the base of her head and pu

Completely at his mercy
Diana I walked towards my room, praying that I don't come in contact with my new husband. New husband?. Tsh. That makes me want to throw up. I hope he gets himself another room, I'm not willing to share mine with anyone. I sighed and walked into the room to meet a tall figure standing in front of the mirror, shirtless with his eyes fixed on the mirror.I could see his face from the reflection of the mirror. I swallowed into nothing as i stared at him. I have never seen someone as handsome and same time looking so scary and dangerous.The guy standing in front of the mirror had the most perfect facial features. His dark brown hair covering a part of his eyes making him look as sexy as ever. His eyes were so dark and at same time seductive. And the tattoos all over his body made him look more scary and dangerous. But then, I noticed that he looked familiar. I furrowed my brows as I tried to remember where I had seen him.At that moment, he turned around revealing his abbs and muscular
