Chaos was beginning to take over the Bellwether family. The news of the Dennis they knew and maltreated now being a CEO to one of the most influential companies in the country made them all surprised and afraid. Their fear stemmed from the sheer disobedience that they had carried out against their Papa's will. Before Papa died, he had willed all his wealth to Cade, who was known as Dennis to the Bellwethers, but Papa's children had refused to give their father's wealth to Dennis. Papa had entrusted his will to the hands of a very close lawyer friend of his, but somehow, his children had found a way to manipulate the will to their own favor. Papa's first son, had found a way to steal the will from Papa's lawyer and made a fake copy of Papa's will while he kept the original copy to himself, because he knew that Papa's lawyer would refuse a bribe. Now, they were afraid that Cade would come to know of this mischief that was carried out by them. They were all in this crime. What would happe

Cade met with Gale to tell Gale of his visit to MRs Robert’s house.“I’m surprised she agreed to speak to you. She has been hostile to every other member of the company who tried to visit her.” Gale said.“She knows that they only come to see her not because they sympathise with her, but because they want to save face. They don’t really care about her husband’s death or her grief. Besides, I didn’t question her much, I just wanted to confirm if Mr Roberts and Alex had a relationship outside work. I didn’t want to overstay my welcome and make the woman start remembering her grief.” Cade replied.“So what did she say?” “Like I suspected, Alex visited Mr Roberts a lot in his home. She said it seemed like they had some business dealings together and they had altercations sometimes but her husband always made excuses that it wasn’t really serious.”“Mr Roberts was never a fan of Alex, so why did they suddenly get so close? It seems like he was hiding something.”“I thought so too, and wha

Cade continued his work after thinking of a plan to bring Gale's abductors to book. He had to find a way to set his plan in motion for the next day. What had he planned to do? Firstly, he tracked Gale's phone with the last call he got, and found out the location. He wondered why the abductors were so clumsy as to letting Gale call him with his own phone. They must be amateurs or they were just so confident that they wouldn’t get caught so they didn’t bother taking precautions. Secondly, he got the ransom ready. They wanted the ransom to be brought to them physically. It was stressful and caused his banker to raise his brows, but Cade commanded the withdrawal of the amount that the abductors had asked him to bring and no one could argue with him. Thirdly, Cade made up his mind to be there in the morning. It was all too easy to come up with now that he had the location of the place. He would go there without calling the men and let things progress from there. He had thought of the p

The incident of Gale's kidnap made Cade double him and Gale's security. He hired new bodyguards for Gale by himself, while he retained the old bodyguards he had for himself, and recruited new ones in addition to the bodyguards he had. The bruises he got from the rescue operation took a while to heal. Gale had been taken to a hospital and was admitted for about a week because he was extremely dehydrated. But he resumed working after three weeks of mandatory house arrest given to him by Cade. If it was up to Gale, the man would have resumed work immediately after being discharged from the hospital because Gale wasn’t used to being idle. Cade had to force him to remain at home and recuperate. Gale was well rested now, and had recovered from the incident. He was also more careful now, and would go nowhere without his bodyguards. One could tell that Gale had not totally recovered from the incident, mentally. But with time, he told himself he would. He didn’t want to live in fear for his e

Hailey was back in her home, and already making a new plan on going back to Cade. She was more than humiliated by how he asked her out of his office, but stronger than that humiliation was her determination to get him to come around. It would either be by choice or by force. Whichever he chose, she was going to roll with it. When she left for her city the next day after what had transpired in Cade's office, she arrived home and told her mother all that happened. That was when she broke the news of her abortion to her mother. "Dennis asked you to leave his office?" Mrs Bellwether asked her daughter. She was surprised at this news. But it was an unreasonable surprise because she had not been expecting Cade, whom they would not stop referring to as Dennis, to act harshly to Hailey. "Yes! Could you believe I stripped naked for him, mom? I stripped naked in the sexiest way I could muster for him, and he still had the guts to kick me out of his office." They were seated facing each othe
