Sophia looked away. Even though she saw no reason why Derek didn't want to announce his identity before the inauguration but she couldn't take everyone looking down on him again. So, she was going to ignore Derek and announce him."_ the pre_," Sophia continued but the manager cut in quickly."I'm so sorry!" He yelled so loud that even if Sophia had said something, no one would have been able to hear.Derek released a sigh. He didn't know if he was supposed to be grateful for what the manager did. He took two steps closer to Sophia and shook his head slightly.Sophia released a sigh, finally accepting defeat. "Escort these people out!" She yelled in anger instead.The security led Ann and Kevin out of the lobby.The manager on the other hand was suddenly cooperative. He gave Derek a last glance before he walked out."Sophia," Derek called softly. "Do you even know who those people were?"Sophia bowed briefly. "I'm sorry boss. I just felt they wouldn't treat you like this if they knew

The men went quiet for a moment as if having silent communication with each other on what to do. They all looked at Zayn at the same time. "That's ok. We will do it," Mr. Davies said suddenly, with a wide smile on his face. In fact, everyone was glad that Zayn was bringing them along in his business plans. "Yes, we will do it. We only have to think of flimsy excuses for her. We will do great," Mr. Finn assured. Zayn smiled, satisfied by the positive responses that he got. "Alright, then. This meeting has ended," he announced. The door opened almost immediately and the man from earlier walked inside. Zayn stood up quickly. "How was it, Ben? Were you able to get across to him?" "Yes boss," Ben responded with a smile on his face. "Though it wasn't easy, I was able to get across to one of his trusted men. You are supposed to call him and he would get the phone to Clinton," he explained. Zayn released a relieved sigh. "Dial the number immediately. I have to make sure everything i

Amelia couldn't believe her ears or maybe her mother was only playing tricks on her.She laughed. "Mom, stop playing around. I'm in dire need of this backup money. And it's not funny that you are playing like this when I need it urgently."Ann sighed. "Why should I play around with something like this? I'm busy too, you know?"Amelia was shocked. "What do you mean then? I gave you this money to keep because of situations like this. In fact, I had to specifically put you in charge because of Ethan. What the fuck did you use the money for?""I used it, Amelia and that's it. I don't have to explain everything to you, do I? I'm your mother!" Ann stressed.Amelia felt a stab of annoyance at this. "Mom, are you kidding? What do you mean by that? How could you even use the company money? This is absurd!"Ann released a sigh, not at all guilty of her action. "This isn't my fault, dear Amelia.""Then whose fault is it?" Amelia yelled in anger. "You spent the company's backup money and you dare

"What! What happened?" Derek was shocked. He found it difficult to breathe for a moment. Even though Amelia had cheated on him, he still didn't want her to die. No, he loved her too much for that. And well, believed that things could actually get better between them especially after he had recovered his heirship. "Stop asking me foolish questions and get here at this moment!" Ann yelled and hung up. Derek released an exasperated sigh, his head reeling. He couldn't even imagine anything bad happening to Amelia. His phone beeped suddenly and a message popped up on his phone. It was a message from Ann. It was the name and address of the hospital that Amelia was admitted to. He looked at the men that were staring right at him with fear in their eyes. Thomas hurried to Derek. "Are you alright, boss? You are bleeding." Derek nodded once. "I'm fine, let's go," he muttered and walked out of the club with Thomas. "You are dismissed. I will call you later when I need you." "Yes boss," Tho

“What! Dad!” Ethan yelled suddenly. “Dad! Mom!” he yelled again. “What is the matter, Ethan? Why are you calling us in such a manner?”Mary, Ethan’s mother, stressed as she walked into the sitting room.“You can’t believe this! Clinton is dead!” he announced suddenly.“What!” Mary exclaimed. “How? What happened to him? I mean how could the mighty Clinton be dead?”“Well, there was actually something that happened at one of the clubs yesterday. Clinton and his men got involved in a fight with some unknown men. Apparently, he was killed.”“That’s just unbelievable! This is very surprising!”“Yes, I'm sure half of the city is shocked. Besides, who can the killer be?”“But doesn’t that mean that the killer would be the next Peter Pan? I mean that was how Clinton became a mafia boss too. He killed his brother.”“Seriously?” Ethan was more than shocked. He stared down at his phone for a moment and suddenly exclaimed. “You can’t seriously believe this. There’s a new mafia lord already.
