Elvis paired right into her eyes, his face laced with anger and his hands formed into a quick ball.
He was damn sure that his mother-in-law had invited the pervert into their house for whatever reason that was best known to her.But he didn't care, even for a single moment."Get your hands off her you pervert, that's my wife there and stop giving her filthy names?" Elvis lashed out at him with a thick frown hovering on his face.But before he could forge ahead to rip them apart, Sonia stopped her with a stale stare on her."What do you think that you are trying to do, fool? Get your filthy hands off my boyfriend right this moment." Her words were like the clap of a lightning bolt.There was a dangling smirk on Dustin's face but that didn't matter to him anymore.He thought that he had heard wrong. That could only be the possibility there because there was no way Sonia could have said those words.Even though the rest of the family hated him so much, he was sure that there was no way she could try to hurt him."Tell me that I heard wrong, Sonia. He forced you right?" Elvis's voice was laced with pain, trying to hold her in his hands as he always then.But she quickly butted him upon notice, preventing him from going on with his advances and that ripped his heart apart even more.But his faith in her declined as a slight chuckle escaped from her lips immediately.It was like a stab straight through his chest as random thoughts ran through his mind. Finally, she stopped laughing, flinging a stale stare towards his direction."Apart from being stricken with the curse of poverty right from hell, I never knew that you were also deaf." She responded, not holding back the stale hate in her voiceA slight gasp escaped from Elvis's mouth as he was taken aback almost immediately, the walls around his world crumbling right before his very eyes.His eyes were mixed up with a lot of emotions intersecting into each other. He opened his mouth swiftly to speak but words failed him.Finally, he went ahead to say."You are cheating on me Sonia? And you still have the guts to spill it right on my face ?" His voice was washed up with pain and anger.At first, there was still silence in the hall but this silence was followed by the sudden clap of laughter that re-echoed through the hall.Sonia parted from Dustin's hands Dustin, walking closer to him until she could feel herself."Just take a good look at yourself. You have been a cleaner all your life. Your salary is barely enough to get me a lip gloss.How long did you think that I was going to put up with this mistake called marriage? Putting up in the category of a dog is going to mean that I am over-rating you." There was a sudden clap of laughter floating throughout the hall.He looked right into her eyes, to see even the trace of love but all he could see was blazing anger and hatred and he went ahead to say."I thought you said you loved me.""Love? Maybe I was so stupid at first to think that something good was going to come out of you. But merely look at your sorry state now. I can barely say." She responded."But that love has melted down to hatred and if there is anything that I want now, it's for you to be out of my life as soon as possible." She replied swiftly.He sipped in a really deep breath, better than he had ever drawn all his life to reduce the pain that was floating throughout his eyes.Dustin pulled Sonia over to herself and with so much passion in his eyes."You deem it as having a relationship when it was never consummated?" He could not hold back the amusement that was written all over his face, the words stabbing Elvis right in his heart."Something that we have done every single day." He added.Pulling Sonia over to himself, his tongue went into hers as they kissed passionately. Emotions flooded through his vines, flooded with the massive release of adrenaline into his bloodstream.He advanced swiftly towards them, wanting to pull them apart but before he could do this, the men that had been standing right behind the stranger came forward towards him, forcing him down to his knees.Elvis tried to break free, unable to bear torture anymore as his eyes flooded with pain and everyone laughed at him.Finally, they were done, but the guards would not pull their hands away from him even for a single moment.He paired right into Sophia's eyes and went ahead to say."I had made the mistake Sonia of falling in love with someone who was going to betray me.”She Ignored his words firmly, pleased by his suffering as she continued to stare without spitting out even a single word from her mouth.Soon, he heard a swift voice from behind that struck him like the clap of a lightning bolt."And soon, I will be the second wealthiest man all thanks to you." There was a smirk on the face of Dustin as he spoke.But the words only got him even more confused than he was already, ripping his heart into shreds.“I think that she should break the news to you herself.” Dustin added with the smirk still on his face.Even without anyone calling her into it, Sonia stepped forward to appreciate him."And yes. I have to thank you for laying the project management problem around. At least, that's the greatest thing that you have ever done."His brain placed two and two together almost immediately and it was shocked by the realization of what lay before him.Just last night, she had allowed him to give him a kiss for the first time since they got married.He was shocked to his bones but never did he think that his joy was going to be the beginning of his downfall. And the kiss was only one of betrayal.His pain soon mixed up with anger and frustration as he lashed out."So you were the mastermind behind everyone Seeing me as a traitor?" His voice was lashed with pain and anger.But she was not moved by his angry demeanor even for a single moment as she went ahead to see."Too bad you just realized."A slight chuckle escaped from Elvis's mouth as he bit his lower lips.“Does the love that we share mean nothing to you? Did you have to throw away our matrimonial vows under the rug?""I already got that covered and soon that won't be a burden on me anymore.” She responded with a glare.Walking off from the place, she walked into the room and returned a few minutes later with a divorce agreement in his hands."Here." She said nonchalantly."It does mean a lot to me if I don't essentially want to rot in the disgrace of being poor just like you." She responded swiftly.He let out a sudden chuckle and his face skimmed through the first headlines of the papers that lay before him.A divorce agreement with her signature already on it, showing how badly she wanted him out of her life already."There. Sign it already and leave." She said with a frown on her face.His eyes paired through the room and his gaze finally fell on the stranger that was standing from afar.All his life, he had never imagined that there was ever going to be a day like this, where he was going to lose two things at the same time and be left with absolutely nothing."He knew that there was certainly no essence holding on to someone that didn't love him.Staring at the documents for a while, he turned around towards Sonia and expressed his heart of pain."You are certainly going to regret this." He said softly.But his words seemed to create a sudden roar throughout the hall as everyone burst out swiftly into laughter."And how are you going to make that happen? Rub off your poverty on me?" She laughed even harder at his stupidity."What are you feeling like? A hidden billionaire?" The stranger laughed even harder."This is certainly the dumbest thing that I have heard in a while." He laughed.Without spitting out another word from his mouth, Elvis Forged ahead towards the documents that were before him, singing it swiftly and handing it over to him.There was pain in Elvis's eyes as he walked away gradually from the place.If there was anything that he needed now, it was a quiet time to cool down his head. With his heart racing fast, he is walked into a boot at the far end of the road that was rarely used.The inside of the boot is dark, lonely and deserted, revealing the state of his shredded heart.One that made his heart bleed as It felt just like yesterday when he left the home of his father.His father wanted him to get married to the daughter of a billionaire in the city who was vast in a new sector.But he never liked the girl named Sophia who was always acting all sassy. Having to go through the torture of his parent's loveless marriage, he had vowed never to make the same mistake that his parents made.But his father was hell bent on pushing him into this black hole against his own will. And when her mother eventually opposed, she was chased away not only out of his home but out of the city.His heart was torn into shred
Elvis went down the memory lane as memories of the past flooded through his head. His shock soon melted into anger as he prevented his father from throwing a hug at him."What do you want from me? I thought that you said you never wanted to see my face again."I thought you wanted me dead right and that was the reason that you threw me into the street right." Elvis brewed out the anger that he had bottled up all this while."Or you want to force another loveless marriage down my throat again? After all these years that I have been forced to leave on the streets like a taunt?"There was pain in the eyes of his father but he could not see it even for a single moment.While he continued to rant, wanting to spill out all the words that he had in stock in his mind for all these years, he heard a voice that made him pause.""I'm sorry Elvis." Mr. Ford finally apologized.The words seemed to pull him off from the world of his anger as he met with a swift stop, words failing him almost immed
"I am still undergoing treatment so I won't be able to come with you to the company tomorrow.But I have already prepared someone that will be waiting for you already." Mr. Ford said.Elvis acknowledged his words with a sudden nod and went ahead to say with a forced smile."Have all the rest that you need, Father. I am going to take care of your company from now on and I am going to give it my best." Elvis added.There was a smile on his father's face as he spoke the words to him."You have always been a brilliant kid since you were young. I am sure that you will be able to pull this off." Mr. Ford acknowledged.Elvis knew that it was already time for him to leave already. He was served the best food that could only be gotten from the Villa, but he could hardly finish his meal.He had a fresh bath and by the next morning, it was time to leave. The doctor had already told him that he could not always bother his parents and from what he had gotten from the maids, they were still fast as
Elvis could already feel anger rising badly but he drew a really deep breath in an attempt to control his anger."And what makes you think that I am guilty as accused?" Elvis could not help inquire, staring right into the eyes of guards."Because even without being told. I already know that you are guilty." He spat making Elvis's eyebrows meet with a quick farrowed.Before going forward to speak, he shot a swift glance at Elvis, taking every single note of him from his head to his toe and the frown hanging initially on his face deepened even more.He scoffed."I mean, just take a really good look at yourself. You are too bad to be true." The guard mocked."Your clothes look like they haven't been changed in years nor have they been deepened in water for a long time." He mocked Elvis.His hands were already clutched but Elvis was still doing a great job in controlling his rising anger."Well, too bad to disappoint you but I am not here to get a job neither was I guilty of any charge."
"Have you gone deaf or something? I said "answer me right this minute." Ms. Precious thundered at once again.His facial expression was clouded with so much confusion, trying to figure out what was going on in his head.But the more that he thought about it, the more confused."I sent him away?" He replied like someone with a stutter."And which way did he go?" Ms. Precious fired at him once again.For a while, he could not get himself to say any further words and he didn't register the exact route that he had used in his head."I don't remember ma'am." He responded with a sorry look on his face."You will be sorry for this when I eventually return." She stormed off from the place swiftly, stamping her foot on the floor.After a while, she realizes that it would be easier for Richard to recognize Elvis since they meant recently and she was only shown pictures of him from previous years.Turning around towards the guard, she lashed out at him."Get before me bastard and don't make me r
Elvis and Ms. Precious go back to the office where he is taken round the company by Ms. Precious who shows him everywhere."And this is your office," she said as she opened the last office, revealing an extravagant room. Elvis looked around in surprise, this was the biggest office he had seen since he was shown around. "It used to be your father's, Mr. Ford's office. But now that you have become the new President, it now belongs to you," she explained. He walked over to the President's seat and sat on it, he slowly felt the softness of the chair. He sighed weakly, then closed his eyes. "And what may I address you as?" He suddenly asked. Ms. Precious smiled, then replied, "Ms. Precious, your secretary and guardian as instructed by your father," Elvis nodded in satisfaction. He slowly opened his eyes and sat straight."Send the company's documents to me," He said, dismissing her with a wave of his hand. Without a word she left the office.Elvis sat up from the chair, he went over
For the next few minutes, Silas and Elvis were struggling on who was going to retain the documents. Thinking it was the same Elvis from high school he molested each day, Silas didn't giun until Elvis pushed him aside then he fell on the floor with a thud. Smirking, he rose, dusting his butt with his gaze fixed on him. "I didn't mean to push you that hard. You would have just stopped when I asked you to." Elvis scowled. People were loitering about but no one gave them any attention. "Get into the elevator." Silas snapped. "Why? I'm already on my way out." He replied, trying to brush past him but Silas grabbed his arm then pulled him into the elevator. Still wearing his evil smirk, he grabbed Elvis by the cuff of his shirt. Gritting his teeth in anger, he yelled, "What has come over you?" "I already told you. I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean to hurt you." He mumbled, gasping for breath. Instead of letting him go, Silas tightened his grip on the cuff watching Elvis eyes water as he
When Ms. Precious returned to the office, she was surprised to still see Elvis seated with his legs across the other. "You said you wouldn't be here when I return." She said, flopping on her seat. "I changed my mind. Do you have a problem with that?" He asked, raising his brow at her. "Not at all." She replied, chuckling softly. After a brief silence, she cleared her throat to get his attention and when she did, she pushed her hair behind her ears. "Aren't you going to tell me what happened? Your neck is still reddened. Who tried to kill you?" She asked, her face masked with worry.As if that was not enough, she left her seat then went to his side, "Tell me, it's time we involve the police because the next time the perpetrator will kill you." She said, "I don't think so." He said, chuckling as the discomfort Silas would probably be facing at the moment. "It's not funny. Please tell me what happened so in case your father asks I will have an answer to give him." She said, towerin
