Valerie was seated in her office, lost in thoughts. Sterling's enterprise was crumbling and there was little she could do to stop it. There was a knock on the door which caused her to raise her head. “Who is it? Come in.”The door hissed open, revealing Gregory Martins. Her blood ran cold in an instant. She jumped on her feet and zeroed her gaze on him. “What are you doing here Greg?” He asked distastefully.The man approached her with a cigar stick in his mouth and his walker clicked on the floor, he was wearing a wide grin she wished she could just smack off his face.“I believe you already know what I want.”It was her. Gregory Martins was among this city's elites, he was one of the few people that could give her the loan she needed to save her company, but he wanted her in exchange. Ever since Gregory set his eyes on her during a business summit, he had been persistently on her trail. He swept his gaze across the room and twisted his lips. “I heard sterling enterprise is fac

Elizabeth sat next to Skyler, trying to feed her. The doctor had said she wasn't strong enough to feed herself yet, so Elizabeth decided to do it for her daughter."You are recovering really fast. I am so happy, baby. You have no idea what I went through these past few weeks. I thought something was going to happen to you, I couldn't even imagine what I could have done if something had happened to you." Elizabeth said softly."Mother, I am fine now. That is all in the past now. I am glad I am still here with you too." Skyler responded with a smile."Yes, thanks to Ethan. I really have no idea how he did this." Elizabeth added and Skyler's smile faded immediately."Mother, can you not talk about Ethan? The reason I survived is because of you. It is your efforts and not Ethan's. Please can we not talk about him? He is dead." Skyler remarked, and rolled her eyes."You do not say that about your brother. He tried his best for your survival." Elizabeth said, pleadingly."What best? What br

Conrad was having a round table discussion with all the members of the board and the higher ups. He had a large chunk of shares, more that sixty percent shares because of the loan he gave Valerie. He wanted the company to himself and had been able to buy the board members to his side. They all collectively voted Valerie out of her position and Conrad was sworn in as the new CEO.Valerie had no idea what was going on in the company as the meeting was held about an hour after she left. She called the secretary who reluctantly explained the situation of things in the office to her. Without retouching her makeup or doing anything, Valerie rushed back to the company.When she got to the office, she found out that it had been locked from the inside, and her things were outside. Some of her personal stuff like her photo frame, log books, receipts and her favorite 'CEO of the year' mug were all thrown out.She heard voices coming from inside the office which meant Conrad was inside.She began

Valerie decided to visit Sterling's Enterprise again, with the hope that Conrad Patterson would tell her it was all a joke and she was still the CEO. She went there with that thought on her mind, but the atmosphere that welcomed her brought her back to reality. "You! You are here again." The arrogant secretary said."That is not the right way to approach a person." Valerie corrected and the secretary let out a sarcastic laughter."What is the right way? Tell me. The right way didn't get you anywhere, remember?" She added.Valerie ignored her"Where is Conrad?" She asked."Hahaha, what an irony. You just spoke about the right way to address someone and now you call the boss by his first name?" The secretary asked, clapping her hands in an annoying manner."Okay, where is the CEO?" Valerie rephrased."Good, I like you. You learn fast. The CEO is in his office doing CEO duties in a much better way than the former CEO." The secretary said. Valerie didn't reply to her rude remark, she ig

Ethan watched Desmond cautiously as he called his police friend. He knew things were about to get real now. "Whatever police officers you bring, they are going to salute me." He said to Desmond as soon as he ended the call."You have been living in your dreams since you walked in here today. What is wrong with you, really? And why aren't you leaving?" Larry asked, looking pissed."Just like I said earlier, I came and I would leave at my own convenient time. Why do you all feel so worked up, uncomfortable and anxious having me around here? Am I not supposed to be family?" Ethan asked, with a smug smile."I know who my family are, and you are not one of them." Larry said."Am I supposed to feel bad about that?" Ethan questioned with a fake look of surprise on her face."And you are trying to tell me you would be saluted by the officers? What a joke! I would probably make it a little more worse by telling the police officers what you said about them." Larry said again."Do whatever you
