"What the hell was wrong with you?! " Sophie asked Kelvin in anger when they met, "how could you go along with him? Why did you go out with him despite me telling you over and over not to even think about doing anything as stupid as that? ""I was just trying to..." Kelvin began to speak but was sharply interjected by Sophie. "You were just trying to do what exactly, despite me telling you not to even meet him at all you decided it best to perform some kind of experiment or what? You think I didn't know what I was saying or why couldn't you at least organize yourself even if your plan was to do something as stupid and as foolish as that, " she face palmed and cursed inwardly while thinking self deprecating thoughts, after all all of this was her fault she had already begun to regret raining acquainted with Kelvin, "why in the world did I end up with a fool like you, what you did was incredibly foolish and even if there's a slight chance of us getting out of here, we'd have to do so w

"It can't be! Leonard yelled frustrated smacking his hand at the table, the things on them shook but the impact wasn't powerful enough to cause serious damage,he couldn't even feel the pain because he was utterly distracted.Things escalated too fast, he couldn't believe how fast the rumors were circulating about him not being his father's son,he didn't need such a scandal right now, he had so much on his plate already.It was preposterous! How could anyone doubt his lineage? His father had always treated him as his own, and Leonard had never questioned it until now.Estelle entered the room, the noise attracting her, he could see vividly the concern etched on her face. "Leonard, are you okay?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.“I'm fine, I'm really sorry for the noise just thinking about things” he muttered trying to suppress his anger.Estelle nodded sympathetically, her gaze lingering on Leonard's troubled expression. "Is it about the DNA test rumors?" she asked, her voice ba

"Why, what are the charges you have against him? " Dominic asked. "He drugged my boyfriend and is attempting to blackmail him with some compromising photos he had taken while my boyfriend was intoxicated," Sophie replied. "Alright then, do you have any proof of what you're claiming, or any form of concrete evidence whatsoever? " Dominic asked. "No, no I don't have any evidence, " Sophie replied after thinking about it for a moment and Dominic started laughing immediately. "You cannot be for real, how can you expect me to help you with a case against somebody without having concrete evidence or any evidence in fact for that matter, you have absolutely nothing to even make a case, there is no case here as far as I am concerned," Dominic replied. "Come on please I really really need your help with this one, I don't have anyone else to turn to at the moment, I don't really care about how much it costs as long as I'm able to get it done, " Sophie pleaded sincerely with him but Din

Immediately he stormed off, Leonard hopped into his car, turned on the ignition and stepped on the gas, he gripped the steering wheel till it squeaked for mercy, his knuckles whitened, unable to contain his anger any more. The drive to Antonio's house felt like an eternity for Leonard despite his reckless driving and speed. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, fueling his anger. The streets blurred by in a haze as he raced towards his destination, his heart pounding in his chest. As he pulled up outside Antonio's house, Leonard's pulse quickened even further. Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped out of the car and stormed up to the front door. He banged on it with a force that made the wood tremble, his frustration boiling over. The door swung open, and before Antonio could utter a word, Leonard lunged forward, his fist connecting with Antonio's nose with a sickening thud. Antonio staggered back, his hand flying to his face as blood gushed from his nostrils.

Reluctantly Leonard hoped back into his car the ignition was still on since he hadn't bothered to turn it off, Estelle entered the passenger's seat then he drove them away.As Leonard's car pulled into the driveway of their home, the tension from earlier still lingered in the air like a heavy cloud. Estelle let out a sigh of relief as they came to a stop, grateful to be away from the chaos of Antonio's house.Emma was already waiting for them inside, Ava sleeping peacefully in her arms. Estelle hurried over to take the sleeping baby from Emma, offering her a grateful smile."Thank you for staying with her, Emma," Estelle said softly, her voice filled with gratitude.Emma returned the smile, her eyes shining with concern. "Of course, Estelle," she replied. "How are you holding up?"Estelle's gaze flickered to Leonard, who stood nearby, his expression unreadable. "We're managing," she replied, her voice strained. "But it's been a rough day."Emma's brow furrowed with worry. "What happen

Estelle stormed out of Antonio's office, the sound of his footsteps behind her quickening her pace. She could hear him yelling, demanding her to stop, but she ignored him. She was done with him, done with his lies, his threats, everything. She'd had enough of him "What do you want?" she asked, finally turning to face him as he grabbed her arm and turned her around. "It's not about what I want, Estelle. It's about what you don't want me to do," Antonio said with a smirk. "If you don't do exactly what I'm telling you, that idiot fiancé of yours is going to regret it." Estelle's confusion was evident. "What are you talking about?" "Oh, he didn't tell you, did he?" Antonio taunted. "I had him do a job for me a while back, something incredibly illegal. If anyone ever found out about it, your dear little Dominic would be in prison." Estelle pushed Antonio's hand away. "It's nice to see you haven't changed," she said with disgust. "Always looking for dirt on other people while there's a

As Ava skipped off to watch TV, Emma turned to Leonard, her expression filled with concern. "How's the investigation going?" she asked, her voice soft but full of curiosity. Leonard let out a heavy sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Honestly, Emma, I haven't gotten anywhere yet," he admitted, his tone filled with frustration. "I'm still in the process of gathering evidence and interviewing people who have worked with Antonio both past and present.” “It's a slow process, but I want to make sure we have a solid case against him. I can't afford to miss anything." “That being said, I have gotten quite a bit of information on one of Antonio's past business partners, Andre Sheffield.” “Unfortunately, As far as I can tell Antonio never actually got into any sort of illegal dealings with the man, only construction contracts and things like that.” “Who's Andre Sheffield?” Emma asked curiously. Leonard stood across from Emma, his expression grave. He knew he had to tell her about Andr

Leonard hung up on Kelvin, his anger simmering just beneath the surface. He knew he had to confront Antonio about his involvement in the scheme, but he also knew that his brother wouldn't make it easy for him. That stupid man had finally decided to take it up a notch which made him angry at him. He would rather have someone else in Antonio's stead as his brother. Never had he met someone so concerned with making sure that there was nothing tangible happening in his life. He would rather have an outsider offend him than Antonio because he would be able to easily deal with him but he still had reservations when it came to his brother. It was very annoying. Imagine the effrontery of his brother to act like he hadn't done something so grave that required monitoring. It was annoying enough that there was nothing in the house at least that was making him go crazy with annoyance. Instead of him having to stay away from Antonio, he'd rather just stay away from the office because the more

Not long after the irate mob left the company's premises, Leonard dropped his suitcase in his office and charged it to the accounting department. They were questions that needed to be answered, questions that had left his brimming head begging for mercy. "Good morning Sir," Mr Ben, the head of the accounting department greeted but instead of the usual smile, he was welcomed by Leonard's fiery eyes as he rose to his feet. "What is going on Mr Ben," Leonard asked angrily, "who is stealing money in this company? What is happening to my accounts? Is it a crime to trust you with money?" "I don't understand what you are saying sir" "You're not seeing the financial situation of this country or what the hell are you saying?" The bald man heaved a deep sigh and lowered his head to hide the disappointment on his face. "Miss Estelle was in my office last week Mr Leo," he explained contritely , "she complained about the same thing" "And then?" "I don't know sir. I don't know what is g

By the time Emma succeeded in convincing Leonard to attend The Elites Businessmen function,it was already past midday and Mr Ben's tracker hadn't sent in the analysis results. Before leaving for the place, Leo had the guards at the gate tripled to prevent the mob from invading the company again and disrupting the order of things. Throughout the drive to the event center, his mind was in a turmoil. His mind kept replaying scenes of the people, especially the part where they threatened to lynch him and vandalize his properties the next day. He knew the people hated him, the tabloids had done a good job with the fake news and clout chasers have been using the ugly situation to their advantage. Using his pictures for memes and his name for metaphoric insults.The event hall was filled to the end and according to the invite, the place did consist of top businessmen from across the world. Leonard straightened his suit and adjusted his glasses before striding towards the row of seats besi
