CHAPTER THIRTY ONE Owen was led out of the room by the guards and as he was overjoyed and he whistled away in excitement. Although he had been positive that James would accept his proposal, he had been skeptical when the man asked him that question but it seemed like the heavens were in his side. Everything worked out in his favour and he had succeeded in attaining the shares. The guards led him through the hallway they they had arrived in the first place and the door did not seem to reduce the curiosity it gave him in the first place. He looked at the door with The door seemed . They led him to the sitting room where they had taken him from in the first place and they left him there to continue on his own. Owen had just walked into the sitting room and he saw Veeda walk out of one of the rooms at the corner and he let his eyes wander in search of Rina, his eyes caught sight of her as she sat on one of the chairs, her eyes on her phone. It seemed like she had something imp

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE Owen had just left James' house, his security guards had been annoyed by the time he wasted there but they couldn't make any objections. He could clearly see the annoyance on their faces but since none of them said a word, he just walked to the car while one of the men opened the door and he got in, closing the door after him. The rest also stepped into their various cars, taking their positions before they started their journey. Maria had called him about three times while he was there and although he had assured her that everything was fine, he knew she would be dead worried. The car was quiet and Owen knew that the guards were not too happy so he decided to make it up to them on their way home. James's home seemed to be a little far from the city and they drove for a while before they saw a bar in the middle of a street. “Pull up” he said and he could see the way the driver's face scrunched up in annoyance. He slowed down before pulling up at the road

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE Nb: the former chapter had a typographical error, it was actually talking about Mia( Owen's maid) and not Maria(Kate's mother) sorry for the error Owen was in his office, his pen in his mouth as he thought about what Mia had said earlier. He had not thought about it the probability, thanks to his former marriage which was a total disaster. His marriage with Kate had been every man's wish at the beginning but after he lost his wealth, the whole successful marriage facade went down the hill. Kate's mother Maria had tried her every best to come in between then and after many failed attempts, she had succeeded in poisoning Kate's mind. And Kate had divorced him in order to get married to Chris McLean, a worker in his company now. “Fate” he mused and chuckled. He had thought about what Mia had said and he was currently still thinking about it. Maybe she was right, maybe it was high time he looked for a partner seeing as Kate has moved on already and in no time, sh

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN “And what property would you have me give you as collateral” Tamara asked Owen “I don't know, what property of yours do you think would be worth the amount you are asking for…” Owen paused in his tracks “How much are we even talking about here?” “Well, I'll say it's a little token in comparison to this empire you own. Let me say about thirty million dollars” Tamara said and Owen scoffed “Thirty million dollars is not a small token Mrs Sinclair, and the empire you speak of does not belong to me, I am just the CEO, nothing more. As for the amount you are asking for, I'll see what I can do about it, but you'll have to give me something that is worth that exact amount” “You were once the owner of the entity, what property of ours would you have me give you?” Tamara asked him “How about the penthouse in Bahamas?” Owen said and if it wasn't for the fact that Tamara was well behaved, she would have cursed at him. “The penthouse in Bahamas? Do you know t

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE Kate had just gotten home after the auspicious meeting with Esme, newsflash, she had agreed to get married to Jake. But there had been an agreement between her and Esme. They had agreed that if any one of them found the marriage even the slightest bit unbearable, they would divorce right away. She had agreed immediately Esme had made her the deal. She knew for a fact she stood to gain more in this loveless marriage so she agreed without further ado. Although Jake was a difficult person from what Kate had observed, Kate knew the benefits she would be getting once she got married into the family and she believed that he wasn't someone she couldn't handle. She was on her way to her room when she got a notification on her phone. She continued to walk, her eyes fixated on her phone that she didn't notice the incoming person and she was shocked when she bumped into something or someone. She bumped into the person with brute force and both of their phones fell
