Chapter Fourty OneCharles got back home, and laid down on his bed. The whole court issue that was going to happen between he and his father was going to take place after 3 months, which was the election.He needed to focus on the election, and anything that would deviate his attention which could also cause him to lose the election, would be disregarded. Even with the threats he was getting, and the suspicious movements he was noticing, he wasn’t that much bothered.Charles was bent on attaining success, and he saw all that as obstacles to make him lose his focus on his aims. A message popped up on his phone, and it read:“There is a meeting which would happen at our conference hall, tomorrow. Please ensure you attend.” Charles smiled, and felt proud of his achievement. He never saw himself going towards the political line when he met with the system, but George had pushed him. And once he was done with his little revenge with the position of a governor, he was going to resign.His a

Vera knew instantly that Charles had something else he was cooking up again, and she was interested to hear it.“Alright.” She responded, then brought out her phone to call James.James phone rang thrice before he answered it, and then he told her that he would be on his way immediately.“You can have your seat, Vera. You’re not planning on waiting for James before you sit, are you?” Charles said and took a sip of his drink.Vera smiled, and then sat down on the couch. There was silence between them as Vera couldn’t ask about Mr. Grayson who had probably left in anger. So, she decided to work on her phone while waiting for James to arrive.Soon, James arrived, and exchanged greetings with both Charles, and Vera.“You said we have a master mind plan.” James initiated the conversation as he dropped his phone on the table.“Yes. We are going to double cross those who think they are smarter than me, especially that they keep planning my downfall, despite teaching them a lesson.” Charles re

Charles got back to his senses, and immediately, he pulled away, and the speeding car came to a halt. The driver quickly came outside with pleading eyes.“I’m so sorry sir. I had a fault with my brake. Please don’t press charges against me.” The man pleaded earnestly.Charles was a bit annoyed because he could have been in an accident because of him and an apology wasn’t going to take away the pain. But then, he decided to tone down his anger, seeing how sincere the man was.It didn’t look to him like he was faking anything.“You should always check your car before taking it out. Even you could have had a grave accident which wouldn’t be good for you and your loved ones.” Charles said to the man.“Thank you so much for letting this slide. I’ll take to your advice.” The man appreciated him, and then scurried back into his car, and drove off. Charles adjusted his suit, and when he faced forward, the screen popped up.“You’ve been rewarded the opportunity to pick a skill which you feel

Mark wondered why the Governor was suddenly at his back, and didn’t say anything until he turned around.“I wonder for how long he has been here.” Mark thought to himself.“Do you need anything, Governor?” Mark asked, hoping there was no problem.“Nothing actually. I see you were about leaving but can you stay here just for a moment to talk with you?” George requested.“Yes, sure, sure.” Mark gladly replied, and moved closer to the rails.“Good. I see you’re really capable. Just like your friend here.”“My friend?” Mark questioned, taken by surprise.It seemed to him that Angela didn’t reveal that they are siblings. Mark wondered how not revealing that they are siblings would help better, because George didn’t look like he cared if they were friends or not, except they are lovers.“Yes. Your friend. Or isn’t she your friend?”“Yes…yes, she is.” Mark responded, hoping this wasn’t going to cause an issue later.“Alright. So, as I was saying, I have recognized your capability to handle s

Charles was quite surprised and was more interested in what he had to say. “Give me more details on this.” Charles requested with a glint of curiosity in his eyes.Mark was more than happy to share him the information he wanted to hear and spilled more than enough to Charles. Charles was pleased to hear the amount of information he heard from Mark, and Mark kept giving him more as days and weeks passed until the D-day.Now, it was that very day which both George and Charles had been waiting for, badly. This day was going to tell who would end up being the winner, and trample on the other.They got to the event, and they sat at the front seat, somewhere in the crowd until they called them up to the stage and people gave them a clap. The people of the state were also watching from their TV.They were all excited about this day and were ready to support their candidates.“We welcome Mr. Charles Lincoln and Mr. George Washington to the stage.” The presiding officer announced, and the cro
