After the arrest of Diana, the Roberts enterprise took a hard blow. Clara decided to meet Michael again. Her mother and brother were not around to help her and she was all alone. The company’s creditors were on her neck and she didn’t have anyone to turn to. Clara reached out to Michael several times. At long last, he agreed to meet her again.‘Michael, why have you done this to us? Was it all to hurt us? Didn’t we leave on amicable terms? ’Michael looked at her. it was clear that she had not learnt her lesson. She still didn’t realize that she had done him wrong.‘Have you forgotten how you and you family treated me? Have you forgotten how you treated me as a husband and after all the love I showered on you, you treated me like garbage? If you don’t remember, that is alright, but this is the consequence of your actions and I’m not sorry that you are facing it alone.’The tears swelled in her eyes as she responded. ‘I didn’t want any of this. I thought I was reaching for happiness. I

Indeed now, times after the dissolution of that disastrous union, Clara's influence and instructed beliefs about joker/ womanish relations still visited his subconscious. Dragging his wandering mind back to the present, Michael eventually managed to meet Isabella's steady, unembarrassed regard. Her eyes were still spangling with the foreshocks of the important desire he'd roused within her- a heady, molten look that Sweet heaven, what kind of potent witchery did this woman apply over his senses? Her bare presence burned Jones so visceral, so each- consuming, that Michael's hard- won conditions began to fray at the delicate seams. Isabella was the spark hanging to sacrifice his iron discipline into cinders of flirter desire. t banged the smoulderingThe conference room was tensed up. Isabella sat directly opposite Clara while Diana sat at an angle between them. Together, they formed a triangle. The table between them was white in colour and had a recorder on it. ‘Why are you doing thi

Clara closed the laptop she had been writing on. She had just adjusted her curriculum vitae and had sent it to the printer machine. Now she walked to the printer machine to collect the paper and fold it, put it in her file and walked out. She had succeeded in selling everything the family owned to settle debts and pay salaries before laying off all her employees. Now she was about to become an employee. Her job hunt had just begun.She had an interview today at Bakers’ Incorporated, a company that is involved in selling stocks. The woman who had interviewed Clara said she thinks Clara is a good candidate and assures Clara that she scored high on the test. The interview was carried out in front of a committee of five persons in a large hall. They asked for her curriculum vitae and asked her a series of questions. Clara was happy that none of the questions they had asked her pointed to her past as Chief Operating Officer of Roberts enterprises. When Clara left the company grounds, she w

Michael and the drug lord had just finished a cup of cognac. It was nightfall already and it was already time for him to go. He didn’t believe that he had just met with and spoken to his biological father. The man hugged him again before he entered the car that brought him. The car dropped him off at the same place it had picked him up. Michael called a taxi to take him to his house. When he got home, he opened the safe where he had evidence about his father, the drug lord and the Roberts family, namely, Diana Roberts and wondered if she was his mother too. but he shook the thought from his mind and wondered how this new information he had just gotten from the drug lord that he is his father, would affect the revenge he was about to mete out on the Roberts family and Liam. Michael didn’t know what to do. He felt weakness in his knees and found a place to sit. Isabella has dealt him a bad hand. He didn’t see this coming. Luke noticed his master’s sudden change in mood and approached h

Mr. Samuel came back from his trip to the United States. Beaumont city didn’t change in his eyes. As he climbed down the stairs from the private jet, he fished out his phone and dialled Michael West's number. Michael picked on the third ring. ‘Mr. Samuel, it is nice to hear from you.’ Michael said excitedly. He had looked forward to hearing and seeing Mr. Samuel, his saviour. Mr. Samuel had left Beaumont city a long time ago and was not picking his calls. ‘It is nice to hear from you too. How is business going? I hope my investments are doing well?’ Mr. Samuel said, while descending the stairs.‘Yes, they are. We just reviewed our returns from the last quarter and it was huge. I can’t wait to share it with you in person.’ Michael responded.‘That is great. I just landed, so how about we see in the evening.’‘That would be great.’ Samuel responded and clicked off his phone.Samuel walked to his car that was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and when he entered, drove away.
