Lucas POV I had plans brimming through my head. Plans of revenge, strategies to pay back the Wright family for all they did to me. I had been waiting for them to hit rock bottom. I knew they would get there, it was only a matter of time. “As you requested, we have put out news of the contracts. A lot of top companies are going to show up tomorrow for the interviews.” I knew that was not all he wanted to say. “Usually, this kind of thing is usually done by mail. If you don't mind me asking, why are you requesting that the companies send top representatives to show their faces at the meeting? Had I not talked you out of it earlier, you were about to make the CEOs apply in person.” “Because I want to be assured that whoever I decide to dish the contract out is trustworthy enough to handle it. I don't want a situation where contracts are being awarded, but there are issues with work getting done. Abandoned buildings cost us money, you know.” Caleb nodded. It was unclear if he was f

Lucas POV The company was bustling as always. The conference room was prepared and the guests were waiting in there. I arrived at the company about half an hour late for the stipulated time for the interviews. Blame it on the traffic and the fact that my cab had to take a much longer route because I thought a car was following us. I couldn't be too careful. The guests were weary but none of them complained. Every groan they had was swallowed. After I came, it was a privilege for them to be here. I slipped in through the back door of the building as usual and as soon as I got to the company, I ordered the interviews to begin. Caleb had been thoughtful enough to order me breakfast and it was waiting for me as soon as I got there. In the office, there were monitors set up to display feed from the cameras in the conference room. The cameras covered every angle of the room, so I could see their faces as well as the expressions of everyone. Most of them were nervous. Having the whole

Lucas POV I instructed the cab to stop me a couple of meters from the house. I wanted to be cautious. I wouldn't be surprised if I came back home to a full house and they were all waiting for me. I walked calmly into the compound. The cars in the parking lot told me that everyone had returned home. One of the car doors opened up and I immediately took cover in a nearby wall to shield myself from view. Someone stepped out and began rushing to the house. It was Lady Wright and she took brisk steps. Natasha climbed out of the other side of the door. “Aunty, calm down, please, before you do anything drastic,” she pleaded, trying to catch up with the older woman. The only problem was that she was in stilettos and could barely make her way across the yard without wobbling.Her words ignited the already burning flame in Lady Wright. She turned sharply to the younger woman. “You think I am overreacting right now? Weren't you here when I scold

Lady Wright POV Annoyed, raging, willing to skin someone alive. That was all the emotions I was feeling and more. This morning, I had been so certain that by evening, I would have signed at least two contracts with Blue Diamond. Mr Sikes has assured me that despite him having been fired he still had ties with people at the company. I had sent him some money and was pleased that he spoke with his connections back at the company. After sending a whooping hundred thousand dollars as he requested, he finally agreed to put in a good name for me. He even assured me that he had spoken with the interviewer. Being that I already had an existing contract, they would give me more priority than the others. For those of you wondering where my confidence was coming from, there you have it. He spoke so confidently that I bought his tales effortlessly. That's why I had put three times my effort into preparing Romeo. All he had to do was walk into that office and i

Lucas PovI hesitated with the phone. My hand dug into my pocket but it refused to come back out. Mind you I didn't have any woman I was hiding from them. I had barely survived the drama from one woman. I wasn't going to subdue myself voluntarily into the arms of another. “Pull it out already,” Lady Wright yelled.What have I gotten myself into? I would willingly hand over the phone but that would only complicate matters for me. I know I had told you that I wasn't speaking with any female. Well technically I have been speaking with another female in my contacts. It was Caleb. I had him saved in my phone as Amanda. It was the only way I could think of operating stealthily without anyone listening to my calls or knowing who and when to call. Over the last couple of days, I had her too busy to clear our calls or chat history. But I was in front of my in-laws. I had just denied having any relations with another female and I couldn't explain why
