"I'm in love with someone else. I don't think it's going to work out for the both of us." Grace said clenching her fist in nervousness.She tried as much as possible to her revelation sound convincing but Wilfred was about to blow up."What did you say?" Wilfred asked raising his brow as he pinched the space between his brows, giving her a questioning look.Grace wasn't expecting that kind of reaction at least not from a person that looks responsible. "What I'm saying is that I have someone I like...like or should I say, love. So please I don't want to lead you on or throw advances."Her explanation drove him nuts as he furiously stood up from the swing. "Are you fucking kidding me?""No, I'm stating the fact. And you should be grateful." Grace retorted, her voice calm yet firm as she didn't want to be angered by the furious looking man even though her revelation came too sudden or was like a devastating news to him, she wanted to at least put herself in his shoes before acting up."I

The old man had to cut the long story short as he placed the cigarette on the ashtray so as not to bore Coldie anymore with his past stories. "I knew I was kind of harsh and brutal for not giving her a chance to prove herself." He said with tears falling down his cheeks."Sir, you gave her a chance. She was just being stubborn. I was there that day, she chose him over the family, and if she hadn't done that she might still be alive." Coldie said, trying to comfort the man.Chairman Conrad was dazed by Coldie's words. "I haven't seen you say this much but I appreciate that." Coldie bowed. "Anything for you sir.""Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow is a long day and we have to find out about the imposter secret cult." Chairman Conrad winked at Coldie before waving his hands, gesturing him to leave and the latter bowed before leaving the old man all alone to reminisce his past life and all the regrets her had and the mistakes he had made.The next day, the sun crept through the window i

Liana kept gazing at her stripped dress and couldn't believe the man from earlier would do much to her. "That son of a bitch!" She gritted her teeth as she stormed out of bed to get ready for the day.She disposed of the stripped cloth in the laundry basket and went out of her room, heading towards the dining room which she found empty."What? Why's it empty?" She asked curiously, calling the maid's name but to no avail.She heard some noises in the sitting room and thought her husband might be there, she found him playing in video game with some crispy chicken beside him as a treat. Her stomach grumbled at the sight of it making her annoyed as she approached Richard, blocking his view."Aren't we going to have lunch? And where's the maid?" Liana asked with a scowl look on her face."You're blocking my view. I need to win." Richard said, completely ignoring her. "You need to win? Well, I'm hungry." She folded her arms, thinking he'd run to the kitchen to prepare something for her but

Coldie's words sank in Chris's head. If he was indeed the only male in Chairman Conrad's generation then he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders."In that case, females can't be the heir, right?" Chris asked, raising his brow at the man who stood in front of him.Coldie nodded in response. "Females can be the heir but the responsibilities that fear to bear.""Oh!" A gasp escaped his lips as he nodded knowingly."I know everything came too soon that's why the chairman wants you to take things easy. He'll be showing you to the higher-ups of RIC CORPORATION next week so be ready." Coldie informed with his gaze lowered.Chris's eyes were fixed on the empty swing beside him. He examined the wooden sit and found a name carved on it making him come down from the swing to examine the other side of it and the name carved on it."I found something," Chris said as he gestured to Coldie to take a look. Chris blew the dust out of the wooden seat and dusted it with his hands and the name beca

Christopher's eyes darted sternly on the paper, his hands were trembling as tears fell endlessly from his eye rolling on his cheeks with drops staining the paper.The letter says;MY CHILD, I KNOW I WON'T BE ALIVE WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE READING THIS.
