Each time she closed her eyes, she saw an image created in her head of Alan wearing the most beautiful suit in the world and sitting on his CEO’s office chair delivering instruction. What could have been if only she hadn't let a moment of anger eat up her mind?Rose went over to see Mr. Billing who was waiting just by the corner of the hall with a glass cup of scotch in his hand.“You were a little moody throughout the meeting today. What could be going on?” Mr. Billing asked, his brow furrowed in concern as he looked behind him to make sure no one was hovering around to hear what he was going to say.“I am good. There is no problem, Dad,” Rose responded, her expression a mask of false warmth.“Hmm, are you sure?” Mr. Billing inquired again, his nose squeezed in a silent discovery. “Is this about your brother, Lesley? He deserves to be treated harshly you know. I hope you don't have any sympathy for him.”Rose nodded her head in denial, her eyes contorted with a mask of innocence. She

***Mr. Greyson and Alan both got into the former’s abode after a brief misunderstanding between them.Mr. Greyson finally realized that he had to be very open with Alan if there was to be a proper relationship between them. If he shunned him each time he asked questions, he might also lose the only family he has.“Would you like coffee or tea,” Mr. Greyson asked, his face gleaming with a welcoming smile.“Come on, you don't have to worry about doing that,” Alan responded.“You come to my abode, I serve you myself. So better talk,” Mr. Greyson said.“Alright, I will take tea,” Alan said, his face set in resignation.Mr. Greyson poured tea from a big jar into two cups, bringing them over to Alan as they sat opposite each other.Alan’s face was leveled with a weight of expectation. He was eager to know more about what had been bothering Mr. Greyson. He already knew that he was under chemotherapy for his cancer and that was already more than enough for Alan to think about. Not like he c

CHAPTER 26***Rose Billing returned to her husband, Mr. Lawrence’s residential suite. Mr. Lawrence owned a five-star hotel suite that had many rooms and a few floors. Everything about the hotel was tinged with modern designs and decorations - it was Mr. Lawrence’s comfort place.Rose couldn't help but think about the answer that Mr. Billing gave to her when she asked him to tell her the truth about the video recording that was made which made her divorce Alan.She couldn't help but curse herself in her mind. How naive was she to listen to Mr. Billing and Lesley when they were showing her the video proof that Alan stole the pendant?She should have been more critical especially when she knew that they never liked Alan in the first place, she reasoned.They got what they wanted and now she was left to regret divorcing the man she cared about and being stuck with Mr. Lawrence.Mr. Lawrence was a controlling man who always believed that his way of doing things was always right. He never

“It’s this strange woman you brought as your wife. Can you imagine that she insulted us and told us to get out - who does she think she is to tell us that?” one of the hookers said.Rose’s face flushed with embarrassment the moment she saw Mr. Lawrence walk over to where they were. Her breath was held in a silent hope for redemption because she didn't want Mr. Lawrence to see her in such a demeaning situation.She had always tried to avoid him at any cost but fighting with one of his whores meant that she was letting herself loose.Mr. Lawrence turned his gaze toward Rose to know if she had any words of defense to what the hooker had said but her lips were set in a thin line as she gave no words in her defense. She wished it didn't come to the situation it now was.“She even had the guts to slap us,” the other hooker said, adding more fuel to the fire when she noticed that Rose wasn't going to defend herself.They were ready to cause as much commotion anyway since they never even like

***Mr. Billing was devastated by the latest situation concerning his company. The sales were becoming lower each day and things were not turning out positive anymore.Employees had to receive a huge pay cut because of the poor finances. Since Alan started producing the same products as that of Billing Company, the latter no longer had much sales. Many reviews were a testament to how Alan produced better beverage products compared to Billings. The embarrassing situation involving Lesley was also a contributing factor to the company’s financial breakdown.Mr. Billing decided to take matters on his own by visiting a crime kingpin, Jamal Griffith. He wanted to hurt Alan deeply and show him some levels so he decided to visit Mr. Griffith. Even though Mr. Billing’s company was broke, he decided to take a lot of money to see Mr. Griffith knowing that he would only accept his job if he could pay well.It was a risk visiting someone like Griffith because he was a hardened crime lord.
