There is always a party being hosted by a particular family, the Vladimirs, annually and sometimes twice in a year, where they invite the wealthy ones of the town. The media never fail to attend such parties, they always get gossips to talk about for a while or whatever it is that would grab their attention and Jake, the new chairman of the McPherson consortium coming to the party with a billionaire famous daughter, Charlotte Hargreaves is one of them. She wrapped her hands around his arms with a smile on her face, while they both walked on the red carpet leading to the building where the party is being hosted. The flashing light of the camera almost blinded them, all the journalist, rushed over their side immediately they caught sight of them. “Mr. McPherson how do you feel after the previous senior McPherson named you the new chairman just hours after finding his lost grandson?”“Do you feel pressured by this role?” “What is your relationship with Miss. Charlotte Hargreaves?” “

“Go on, what is it?” Jake asked, turning to face him, “But before you go on with your request, I hope you know that I don’t have any relationship with your daughter” he added.Mr. George clenched his jaw, gripping the flute of champagne he was holding for a while, before clearing his throat and proceeding to tell him his request, but he hesitated, seeing the look in his face, he swallowed back the request, he wasn’t sure he was going to get the positive answer that he is hoping for. He noticed in that instant that Jake is not someone that would do anything just to please another person, there is always something he wants to achieve in the long-run, bringing his request to him would mean he might lose it all in the end. Jake’s expression softened, seeing the hesitation in the old man’s eyes, “Say whatever it is that you want to say, the look on my face is all a façade by the way” he said, his lips stretching into a wide, bright smile. “Do you think you can fool me with that fake smil

“I guess this will be the first board meeting that I will be involved in since my taking over as the chairman of this Consortium” Jake said with a voice that exuded authority, he wanted to leave a first impression on all the board members that he is not one to be messed with easily and they shouldn’t try what the rest of the chairmen of other companies are trying to do, which he use him as a stepping stone in achieving their goals. “Yes,” they all answered in unison. “So, we will skip all the intro, since I already have an idea about who you all are and would learn more about each of you as we proceed. First of all, let’s treat the most important issue of this meeting” he said, turning to Sam, the youngest among the board of directors members, with a nod of his head, he gave him the signal to continue with what he had in mind to present to everyone. “There is a project that I was assigned to take on before the previous senior McPherson stepped down from the post he was occupying as

"Sarah pull yourself together and answer my question,what is your relationship with Aiden and what woman walked up to you filling your head with plenty of garbage"This was becoming tiring to him, he only followed her out of respect, if he wanted to play stubborn the whole office would be in an uproar by now.She turns from the driver's seat and looked at him, hate filled her eyes. If looks could kill he would be dead in the backseat of her police vehicle."You seat there and ask me such questions when you and I know that you orchestrated the murder of my family". She was in so much pain her words were coming out in gasps.Jake was soaked up in confusion, until now he has never met Aiden McPherson. Could this be senior Mrs McPherson's plan all along?. He wondered to himselfTo make him fall bait to her tricks, how many more McPherson's will he still have to encounter before knowing what he is really into.The words coming out of Sarah's mouth had no meaning to him anymore, all he coul

As he stepped out his phone buzzed, he refused to open it as it felt liy his world just came crumbling on him.The phone buzzed again and he still ignored it. Then it started ringing, he brought it out of his pocket and picked up."Where are you at?" The voice shouted into his ears it was Max's. "Cassandra has been shot and she's in the hospital right now, I have been trying to reach you""What?" I asked this can be happening, can the day get any worse. "Send me the location" he ended the call and zoomed if to the hospital where Cassandra was admitted.Max was already there and together they went to her room. Immediately she saw them she started shouting. "Get out, I don't want to have anything to do with you"."What are you saying Cassandra?", Jake asked her, "It is I your twin brother". "I was comfortable being a cashier at the bank, then you waltz into my life and now I have people after me" she sobbed.Jake tried holding her close to himself but she rebuffed his advances towards
