" Yeah.. a job." Tyson uttered awkwardly. How else could he explain why he was here in the company in the First place?
With his reputation as the useless leech of the family, who would believe her if he said that he was here to check on the operations of the company as the new chairman?Anybody who knew him from five years ago would snort at his derision.Tyson was also not interested in giving out that information.He prefered life in the shadows.The limelight was never his place, even when he served in the military for five years.Patricia could hear how unconvincing her brother-in-law's answer was but she chose not to think over the matter.As long as Tyson was willing to make amends and help her sister, she had no problem with him.She never believed in Money bringing happiness and loathed her mother's extreme greed for money.Every month, her sister Samantha would give her mother almost all her salary and be left with enough to run her for the month.Although she earned some good money, Samantha was unable to get herself decent bad new clothes as well as Tara. Her mother would snatch all her salary and spend it on buying expensive clothes and going to parlours with other rich women.Her mother Susan has never worked all her life.She loved spending in gambling, not caring if Samantha had enough for her and her daughter.As a sister, she saw and understood her sister's plight.Having graduated recently, she was now trying to secure a job and help her sister in running the house." You should treat Samantha and Tara well, they have suffered a lot." Patricia whispered before walking to the company.She thought that someone needed to tell him that life hasn't been easy on Samantha ever since he Left.Patricia was also aware that with Samantha's personality, she will never voice that out.She would rather endure suffering in silence.Sometimes, Patricia would think that her sister is really dumb for allowing others to push her over and over again.She was the kind of person who would never retaliate.Tyson watched as Patricia made her way to the company. She had said that we came here looking for a job. In that case, he would pull some strings and help her.At this point, Tyson was aware that he needed someone he could trust with the company.He knew that with good training, Patricia could make a good general manager of the brilliance Corp.Don't get him wrong, he wasn't planning on firing the current general manager, if the guy was willing, he would promote him and send him to the brilliance Corp main branch in Washington DC.That was his plan. He figured out that he should start training Patricia as early as now to take up the role in the future.Fishing out his phone, he sends a message to the general manager with instructions before walking away.Tyson was about to get to his car and drive away when he caught a familiar figure stepping out of a car, dressed in black suit.The man coincidentally made eye contact with Tyson, his expression hardening.This man was none other than John Warren, the same man who was interested in marrying his wife Samantha.Tyson was about to ignore him, afterall he had no time to waste dealing with losers.But fate had different hypothesis plans for him." Hey you!" John called, taking hurried steps towards Tyson as his fists balled.He couldn't forget how embarrassed he was when that bitch Samantha refused his proposal, Insisting on staying with her loser husband.He was John Darren, a second generation heir to a prestigious family.He had the looks, money, Power, name it all yet he got ruthlessly rejected by that woman.He felt that by giving a chance to Samantha to be his bride was like doing her a huge favour.Afterall she was no longer the most beautiful woman in the whole of Los Angeles like before. Yet she didn't seem to cherish the chance and threw it away through the windowShe had still managed to maintain her good figure after giving birth and was still stunning as ever.That's the reason he was Interested in her.If she wasn't beautiful, he would not even give her a second glance yet she still chose to remain married to a hopeless and penniless Man.That according to John was like a blow to his manly ego." What do you think you are doing here? Do you think Tom, Dick and Harry can come to this place as they please?" John asked in a mocking tone.Although the brilliance Corp was not a big company, it was however a branch of the Carter's of DC. That alone was enough to boost its prestige.John was purposely here to discuss a corporation with the brilliance Corp with the Warren company.His grandfather sent him here to close that deal.As the heir and next in position of the helmsman, he was given the responsibility to close that deal.Actually everything had been discussed, all he needed to do was get Mr Richard sign the agreement of their corporation.Seeing Tyson here reminded him of the embarrassment he went through in the Carter family.Since he had connections with the deputy manager, he figured out that getting Tyson to be thrown away from the company would be a lesson to Tyson not to mess with him in the future.Tyson did not bother answering that question. He didn't feel the need to. He didn't need anybody's permission to be anywhere in the United States.So why was everybody today hell-bent on asking him such a silly question." I'm warning you, stay away from Samantha. She's soon going to be my wife. A loser like you doesn't deserve her." John warned.Tyson scoffed at his words.Just a moment ago, it was about stepping foot in the company so how did things turn to his wife?Interesting." What if I don't?"" Are you challenging me?" John Warren roared, the veins on his face popping one after the other.He could tolerate it if someone like Samantha challenged him, afterall it was him who was trying to woo her.What he couldn't stand seeing as someone like Tyson,a live-in son-in-law blatantly challenging him and disrespecting him.He was so angry that he almost spit out blood." So what if I am?" Tyson questioned, raising his brows at the lecherous Man.He was doing it on purpose, provoking John.Tyson was not afraid of Tyson, afterall the Warren family, a second tier family in Los Angeles was nothing to him.He could squash the whole family and trample on them like ants.Since his effort to ignore the man earlier and mind his business was unfruitful thanks to the man's interference, he might as well deal with the bug before it starts sucking his blood." You punk!" John hollered furiously, throwing his fist at Tyson which was clutched seconds before it could hit Tyson's face.The dark ex
When Tyson decided to go back to LA, he knew he had to confront some ghosts and set things right but he didn't think that it would be quick. He wanted to take his time and watch people make fools of themselves before they got to know who he was. But now, by the way things were going, he had to expediate his plans. What with that fool John Warren wanting to lay his hands on Samantha and not talking about the damned Lewis family? Whenever he thought of how they treated Sam despite the fact that she was the most learned of them all and the most hardworking, he felt his blood boil. He knew that the reason why they treated her like dirt was because she married him and refused to get a divorce. He actually couldn't understand what they wanted. They forced him into her life by drugging the two of them, the reason why the two were forced to get married so as not to ' tarnish' the good name of the Lewis family.He swore that one day, he would make them crawl at her feet. He would make sure t
The following day was a weekend and though Tyson wanted to take his family out, Samantha wanted to stay at home and work on her proposal. The Lewis family had officially entered the bid for Sarit Business Park and since Samantha, with Tyson's help, had been allowed by her grandfather to participate, she had to come up with a good proposal to impress the people in charge. However, Samantha knew that the condition will be rife. She knew that her cousin, Brian Lewis, was a competitive man and he would go to any lengths to win the bid. He was the next in line as the Lewis' family helmsman and winning meant everything to him. But Tyson had assured her that she had a chance and that was why she was sitting at home, alone, on a weekend, working on a proposal. Her mother and her sister had gone out to Regal Estate to check out the house the Turner heir had gifted to her. Since those betrothal gifts had been brought and they all naturally assumed that they were for Patricia, Samantha had n
"Samantha? Do.... Oh, you are here. What are you doing here?" Susan burst in and started talking and the last question was to Tyson. "Mother, not now. Tara is here," Sam said trying to defend this husband she hated and loved at the same time. "Grandma, are you okay? Know what Tara heard, a grumpy grandma will grow old quickly and Tara wants you to always remain beautiful," Tara said as she ran to her grandmother's embrace. "Grandma is fine darling. Come here, such a sweet mouth you have for a little girl your age." she said as She held Tara while shooting daggerish stares at Tyson. "Samantha, we need to talk," Susan said and Samantha rose from the seat where she had been writing her business proposal. Susan put Tara down and walked out with Sam in tow while party, who had been quiet since they walked in observing the scene before her, remained behind. "Tara, baby, can you get aunty a bottle of water from the fridge please? I'm parched," she said dramatically to Tara who skippe
Tyson was driving with a smile on his way back. Samantha had taken the news that he was rich by association to the Carter family pretty well. She had even refused to move into their new mansion in Regal Estate unless Tyson was up to it. He knew that he was making headway with her and lifted his spirits in more ways than most could tell. He had discovered that there was a black van that had been following him for a while. Since he left his in laws house, the car had been on his tail and he didn't have to wonder who it was. Since he returned, he had made a few enemies not by his own will but by their folly. The latest one was John Warren and he knew that the man lacked patience. He knew without asking that many were envious that Samantha married a "no one" like him. He knew that John Warren would prefer him dead so that Samantha would have no choice than to marry him, John, once her husband, Tyson, was out if the way. He didn't want to alert them of his knowledge that he already knew
The following day was a Sunday and Tyson had promised to take Tara out. How drove to his in-laws house and Tara was already there waiting. "Daddy?" She greeted him as he walked into the house as she ran towards him for a hug. "Hey baby, ready to go?" He asked as he walked towards Sam and kissed her forehead.He did it so naturally that it looked like he had done it a thousand times before. Samantha blushed from there to heaven while Tara giggled. Susan, who was coming from her room and just saw what he had done fumed. "What are you doing in my house? Don't you get tired of coming here everytime? Don't you have food wherever it is you are staying?" She started but Tyson was not going to let her talk to him like that before his daughter but Sam beat him to it. "Mother, Tara is here. And if you haven't noticed, my husband has never eaten in this house since he returned. So please, leave him be," she said as she moved towards Tyson, who was holding Tara, and held his hand. "Let's
The bids and proposals had been sent in and everyone was waiting with bated breath to hear the news of who won the bid for which stall or shop in Sarit Business Park and such.Samantha had sent in her bid together with the proposal. She too, was waiting eagerly. At first, she didn't want to be a part of it. She knew that her grandfather wouldn't allow it because they all were in support of Brian. Since he was the next in line to rake over from their grandfather, he was given all support they could not to mention they would always steal her thunder and pile her achievements to Brian to Make him look more capable. She never complained and concentrated to work diligently hoping that one day they would recognize her efforts and restore her to her former position.They wanted him to become a respected figure and that was by using any means possible. But when Tyson spoke up for her during the dinner, she was happy and she decided to try. Who knew? Maybe after she won, she could be given a
Everyone was seated and Samantha was sitting next to Tyson. She had been nervous but now that he was here with her, she felt at ease. "Thank you for coming. I was so nervous alone," she said with a smile to him. "You don't need to thank me. I promised you that since I came back, I am going to be here and support you. We are going to take back everything that rightfully belongs to you," he said as he squeezed her hand. Samantha felt tears sting her eyes. How long she had wished and prayed for a moment like this? Ever since she got pregnant for this man, it was her dream that they could make a happy family. It was fate that brought them together and that was why she never thought of divorcing him even when he wasn't around. ** ** ** **It had been a busy day for Samantha and everyone at the Lewis group. She had just won a tender for supply of the jewels needed for a French royal's wedding that had raked in hundreds of millions for the company and everyone, including her grandfather,
