Chapter 31. Conspiracy backfires
"Well, what do you expect? It was me behind it. Since you decided to push me to the wall, I had to retaliate. You think I'd let you go scot-free for what you did and the humiliation you caused me. Because you found a lucky coin, you think you can taste it on me."However, if you're fortunate enough to get out of here safe and sound, you won't act on impulse again." Duncan said as he removed the glasses he wore, staring Daggers at Zachary.It was already 10am and Zachary was sure that Maraya would be worried sick. She might have even called home to make enquires after unsuccessfully trying to reach him.Furrowing his brows, Zachary responded. "You fool. You have just implicated yourself. Do you think that you would ever go free for what you just did. My grandfather will hunt you down. You have no idea what you've just gotten yourself into."Duncan took a few steps back. He was somewhat affected with what Zachary just said. He was right Indeed. He should not have shown himself to him. T

Chapter 32. I don't believe you
"Do not breathe a word of what happened this morning to anyone if you value your job." Zachary warned Stone when the police had taken Duncan away."Yes Sir." He replied. Although he was not in support of keeping what happened from Kelvin, there was nothing he could do.Sensing his worry, Zachary patted his shoulder. "Sorry I threatened you. I know that your life was also put in the line. Just that, I don't want the matter to escalate. I can handle Duncan myself."Stone nodded in response."I promise you that this will never happen again. I won't let your life be put in danger.""I understand Sir.""Mr. You have to come with us to write a statement." A police officer commented and they both followed behind. Since it was a different police station from the previous one where Zachary was arrested, he wasn't known by the people there. It wasn't long before they headed back to the office.Stepping out of the elevator was Emily who almost collided with Zachary. Lowering her gaze, she quick

Chapter 33. You defy your father?
Zachary stared at the lady whose serious expression had changed to shock. "Yes." He replied."I want you to follow up the case and make sure that he pays dearly for what he did. However, this should not be mentioned to my grandfather."Maraya looked stunned. Why should something as serious as this be kept from Kelvin? Zachary was getting her confused. "With all due respect, why should this be kept from Mr. Kelvin?" Maraya was inquisitive. Her facial expression had darkened in disappointment."Your father had asked me to keep an eye on you and always look out for you. That's exactly what I'm doing. This is a grave matter that should be treated with all seriousness. I think Kelvin has to know." She explained further but Zachary kept mum.He was speechless for a while.Knowing that the conversation was not leading to where he wanted, he decided to end it there.Glancing at his wrist watch, Zachary saw that it was already lunch time and he hadn't even had breakfast. Rising to his feet, h

Chapter 34. Duncan in jail
Emily took up lunch time in search of the police station where Duncan was confined. Taking out her phone, she dialed his number and it was then that she remembered his phone would be confiscated. She also tried to call Duncan's Dad but saw that the number was not on her phone. There was no way she could have asked Zachary about the place where Duncan was taken to.Wait! Was he even taken to a police station? Maybe Zachary had him taken to somewhere else. No, he won't take the law into his own hands. Zachary was not that kind of person, unless he had changed to a bad person.After checking in on about three police stations, Emily finally found Duncan confined in the fourth one. Duncan was soon brought out to see his visitor who threw him a disappointing gaze.Biting her lower lip, Emily stared at the man before him whose expression was blank. He was possibly still in shock as to why the men he employed suddenly turned against him. What did he expect? Money can make people do the unex

Chapter 35. I lost my appetite
Zachary could see that the people he came to meet had company but he didn't know who the third person was. Her seat was not facing the direction he came from. Mirabel was about to ask who the guys were waiting for when Zachary suddenly showed up before them and their eyes met.Staring at each other, Mirabel flashed Zachary a smile but the latter did not reciprocate. He just fixed his gaze on her, his expression indifferent.Turning his face to his friends who pretended to be busy with their drink. He turned back to Mirabel who was still smiling."Hi Zach.""What is she doing here?" Zachary directed his question to his friends and Johnson acted like he did not hear him."Welcome Zach." Johnson greeted but Zachary just threw glances at the boys."Uhm, Zach. I actually saw them here and decided to come over and sit with them. I didn't want to have lunch alone, so I hope you don't mind?" Mirabel tried to clear the air but Zachary was still staring at her like she had committed an offense.

Chapter 36. I could use a friend's company
"I'm all ears." Zachary said and Johnson continued with what he was saying before the interruption."Zach, We called you here in respect to the offer you made us at the birthday party. We wanted to let you know that we've made up our minds to work at your firm. Only that we hope it'll have a better pay than where we were currently working." Johnson explained and Zachary smiled inwardly.For being so kind to him during his trying times in school, Zachary was willing to double their current salary. He wasn't interested in how much they were currently earning. All he wanted to do was pay back a debt of gratitude.Even though the friends were in the dark about how Zachary was able to quickly acquire his wealth, they still wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt."Well, I understand. You should know that I searched for you myself just to help you." Zachary spoke and his friends threw glances at each other."Yeah, you were my friends and I still consider you guys as such. Since you have

Chapter 37. I like what I'm seeing
Zachary, who was bored of the usual routine of going home from work everyday decided to stroll around the mall. Maybe he would see something his eyes fancy. Not like he lacked anything. Going to the mall was just out of leisure. Striding into the entrance of the mall, he thought he saw someone, but the person quickly ran back as if she had forgotten something, making him puzzled.Was the person running away from him or is it something else? Zachary was curious. He stood at a spot for some time with Stone throwing a confused look at him. He was waiting to see if the person would come out again but on the contrary, it was some unfamiliar faces who were busy with their shopping spree. Seeing that it was no use waiting there, he continued strolling, stopping just at the jewelry department.Since he wasn't sure of what he was looking for, Zachary decided to feed his eyes with different brands of Gold wrist watches and possibly get one for himself and his assistant.Scanning across the s

Chapter 38. Just quit now
Mirabel quickly met up with Emily at the same restaurant where she came to have lunch at noon. The earlier waiter had recognized her and welcomed her happily."Welcome ma, I'm glad that you came back again. I hope that you'll try out our dishes this time?" He said smiling as he gave her the menu to choose from. "What would you like me to get for you?" He continued and Mirabel smiled back. "Just get me a strawberry milkshake." She replied and the waiter nodded and left.Mirabel already had dinner so there was no need to eat more. She might lose her fit if she ate too much.Emily, who was not also hungry, was having a glass of wine as she watched the two dialogue with a sense of familiarity."Have you been here this afternoon?" Emily curiously asked."Yeah. I came here for lunch but ended up changing my mind at the last minute." Mirabel enunciated and Emily raised an eyebrow."Why?""Uhmm…. Well, something came up and I had to urgently attend to it." Mirabel wanted to tell the truth bu

Chapter 39. How Powerful money can be
Zachary smiled at himself for his little conquest. The black-haired girl whom he sent Stone to pay for her purchase followed him down to the car just for an audience. However, he had asked Stone to zoom off immediately, leaving the girl in bewilderment. He was not sure why he did what he just did but somehow, he felt good inside. He felt priceless.Yes, that is how it should be now. The girls chasing after him. He was done with going after them. Even though he plans on having his own family one day, he is sure to observe clearly before making a decision.The beauty of the dark-haired girl was quite mesmerizing but that wasn't enough. Beauty was no longer enough. Moreover, Emily was once the most beautiful girl in school those days but with a stone-cold heart who ended up surprising him.Zachary still had that mischievous smile on his face when Stone stared at him from the rearview mirror. He wanted to ask him something but immediately decided against it."Say it." Zachary's voice came

Chapter 40. Bankrupt
On the other line was Johnson. He had just arrived at Influitive Oil and Gas together with Smith. It was a little too fast as Zachary wasn't expecting them. I mean, how were they able to resign so quickly? "We're at the firm's gate and the security isn't letting any of us in," Johnson complained, and Zachary asked him to give one of the security men his phone. The latter immediately obliged and with one command from Zachary, the gate was flung open, and the two friends made their way to the elevator. "What are the two of you doing here?" A voice interrupted them and they both paused on their steps to see who it was. Emily headed in their direction and halted just before them." With surprise evident on their faces, they took a few minutes staring at themselves. It was obvious that they were learning something new at that moment. Emily was working at Zachary's company. But how?The two were already sworn enemies, why was Zachary still letting her work here? Well, they were bound to fin
