As soon as Luthan was told this news he rushed to the room where the man was staying.He stood at the bed side, tears prickling his eyes as the man smiled. His body was frail and weak-looking like he might simply wither away in the wind the next second.“Didn't anyone ever tell you not to look at sick people like that?” Stanley said still smiling. “Try to look happy to see me will you?”Luthan shook himself and drew closer. “How did this happen?”“It's a disease,” the man said. “Those things happen. You can't protect me from everything Luthan,” the man whispered. “Can you do me some good and not look at me as though you're already at my funeral.”Luthan forced a smile and Stanley's grew wider. “Now will you introduce the lovely lady by your side?”“This is Mary Lynn,” Luthan introduced. “The lady I told you about.”“You didn't mention she was this pretty,” Stanley teased. “I feel stronger just looking at her.”Mary Lynn smiled and drew closer to his bed. Stanley took her hand and drew

“Let's talk in my office,” Luthan said as his brother's voice faded off in the distance. Jordan's eyes brightened as he realized that Luthan was considering his proposal.“I'm going to cut to the chase,” Luthan said when they were in his office. “I'll accept your proposal,” he continued before the smile could settle on Jordan's face. “But I'll need your cooperation on a little something before we get things signed.”“What's that Mr. Luthan?” Jordan asked eagerly.“I need you to buy a company for me,” Luthan said. He adjusted on his seat and placed a hand under chin.“But Mr. Luthan, you buy companies on a daily basis.” Jordan said, obviously confused. “I want to buy a company but I don't want them to know that they have sold it to me,” Luthan said.“Ah,” Jordan's eyebrows rose slightly. “I see.”“I'll handle all the costs of the entire deal all I need from you is the signature of the owner of that company on the document. Do you think you are up to it?”“Of course,” Jordan Reigns smi

The two women stood confused as the manager packed up their purchases and handed the many bags over to Mary Lynn. Camille was about to protest, wondering why the manager was handing their purchases over to Mary but they soon realized when Mary held the bags out to them.“Thank you so much for your patronage,” Mary said in her sweet, polite voice. “Would you like someone to help you take your shopping bags to your cars. We reserve only the finest treatment for our best customers as you must know.”Kimberly was stunned, she stood silent, confused. Camille's scoffed. “Hold on,” she said. “You work here? I really overestimated you. What, is the lottery money all gone? Or has Luthan gotten tired of spending on you? You got too comfortable with all that money he wasted on you and now find yourself working in customer service huh?”Mary Lynn shook her head slowly. She handed the bags to the sales persons nearby. “Actually, this is my store.”A simple sentence stunned so many people into sil

“So what's the next step of the plan?” Jordan Reigns asked after he had successfully delivered the good news.“Don't worry about it,” Luthan assured him. “The shipment is yet to arrive after all. I’ll reach out to you when I have more for you to do.”Jordan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the Kings. They had no idea what was coming for them and they were certainly not ready to face it.***Camille met Mrs. Lynn at the mall. The two women were not friends and on a regular day Camille would have walked past the older woman but today was different. She grinned and chatted with the older woman as though they were best friends and Mrs. Lynn did the same as well.They were seated in a fancy cafe sipping their complicated coffee orders every once in a while and Camille wasted no time to spill all the recent development to the older woman.“She owns a full mall, she owns one of my favorite stores inside the mall. She's always wearing the finest clothes and her jewelry are always gol

The entire Carter family were having breakfast together on Lionel's orders. The patriarch did this from time to time, he used the opportunity when they were all together to discuss business strategies as a family and praise one person or the other in a way that made others feel worthless. No doubt he believed that it made them stronger and made them want to challenge each other. Actually, what it did for so many years was just pit the children against each other. After so many years they were over it. They knew the tricks and they collectively ignored their grandfather's manipulative words.Actually, Kimberly was the grandchild who suffered this the least because she was his favorite when she was younger. She was allowed to do whatever she wanted and often got away with it but now that she grew older and actually wanted to carve a path for herself in the family business her father begun to treat her more like he treated her brothers. Luckily her brothers didn't hold a grudge and did n
