Samantha arrived home and went directly to the bathroom to take a shower, as she was exhausted from her outing. She came out of the bathroom after a while and noticed that Eric was still not home, and she decided to give him a call to know where he was. She searched for her phone, taking a deep breath as she tried not to think about what had happened earlier as she went out. Just as she was about to dial his contact, her phone began to buzz, and she was shocked to see who was calling. “Why is Sonia calling?” She asked herself as she picked the call, placing the phone over her ear.“Hello, Sonia!” She said in a low tone and waited patiently for her to respond.“Samantha!” She said in a sharp tone and Samantha heaved a sigh as she was curious to know Sonia had called her.“Surprised to see my call, right?” She asked, and Samantha forced out a breath.“Not really. But considering what happened the last time we were together, I was not expecting we talk anytime soon.” Samantha replied, and

Michael heaved a sigh as he walked into his house, walking straight to his room. His heart was clouded by the thought of what he had just discussed with Lydia. He took a deep breath as sat on the edge of the bed slowly, placing his palm over his face. He could not bring himself to think about what to do. “Why do they need a family member of his?” He asked himself as he slowly wiped his face with his palm, exhaling rapidly. “There is no way I am letting Eric in on this deal.” He thought, standing up to change into something light.“Michael!” He suddenly heard his name from his mom, and he tilted his head to look at the door. He made an attempt to yell back that he was in his room, but decide was to keep shut and meet her in the sitting room instead. “What is she calling me for?” He thought for a moment before he finally dressed up and walked out of the room to the sitting room but could not find his mom there. He looked around for a moment, and suddenly, his gaze fell on her as she wal

“Thank you for the offer,” Eric said, and Michael did not let him finish his statement before he cut in rudely with a laugh.“Yeah, you have to thank me for trying to help your life from this wretched life of yours. I also want you to know that I am doing this for my sister and not you.” Michael said, leaning backward to rest his back, while Eric shook his head slowly, lowering his head for a moment as he thought of what next to say. “I know you are dumbfounded about the offer. Fifty million dollars is not easy money to come by, you know.” Michael said, and Eric gave a nod, still not saying a word. He heaved a sigh, tilting his head away for a moment, as different thoughts ran through his mind. “This is easier than I thought it would be.” He said to himself as he cleared his throat to talk.“The last time I was involved in something like this with you, I ended up in the police cell,” Eric said as he looked at Michael, who leaned forward, giving him a stern look for a moment before he

Michael went back to the house, but unfortunately, he met the house already locked, and his mind suddenly wandered off to Darius. He was extremely furious and frustrated, especially after being humiliated by the person he thought was going to worship him like a god. He heaved a sigh as he leaned against the door of the house, thinking of what next to do, but nothing was coming forth to his head. Eric's words reverberated in his mind and he felt like beating the hell out of him. “I have never seen a poor man so arrogant like this before in my life.” He whispered to himself as he thought of a way to go about the business deal.“There is no way I am letting this opportunity pass me by.” He said to himself as he came off the door and walked away. His phone suddenly buzzed, and he heaved a sigh, hoping that it was not Lydia who was calling. He checked to see that it was his mom and he hissed, placing his phone back into his pocket as he continued to walk. He then suddenly recalled that he

“I had no idea that the house had been seized.” She said, and Michael heaved a sigh, tilting his head away for a moment before he talked.“And I told you to stop talking ill about my husband.” She added quickly as if his words just reverberated in her mind.“Oh, I am going to say anything I wish to say about him. Tell me how a puppet like him would decline a deal of such a whooping amount.” He blasted and Samantha remained quiet for a moment as she did not know what to tell him.“Perhaps you should try to focus on your life and leave us alone. You might just find out that paying greater attention to your life than the life of others allows you enough time to get things together.” She said and took a pause to get a reply, but he was dumbfounded as he could not utter a single word in response to what she had said.“Anyway, I just called to ask if you guys were able to meet his deadline. But I did not know that it had gone to this extent. I hope you get where to stay.” She said and hung
