“What? How did this happen!” Dennis screamed in the entire hospital reception.“Take him to the emergency room and call the doctors.” One of the doctors informed a nurse and he left with the others to the emergency room.A nurse stopped Dennis on the way.“You have to stop here, sir. The doctors will take it up from here.” “But- -”The nurse said as the emergency door closed automatically.Dennis roughly scratched his hair as he sat down on the waiting chair, it didn’t get to a second and he jumped up from it. He felt so restless and scared. He knew who did it. It was his stepfamily again. They intentionally lied to him about his birthday and allowed him to journey alone to a deserted place and then what happened? Everything was staged to hurt Jamal.“Why!? Why?!” That was all Dennis could scream in agony. To Dennis, he had led an innocent man into the lion's den and had failed to protect him.“Mr. Dennis!” Heavy footsteps could be heard approaching him and also making noise in the en
“Will you eat or not?” Cassie grumbled, trying to force the food into an old man’s mouth.“Stop. Stop.” The old man refused. “Stop, I’m not hungry.” The old man pushed the spoon away and rather than having mercy for him, Cassie gave him a hard slap on his face.“Do you take me for a fool?” Cassie yelled at him. “After despising me and pouring all the love to my siblings, I’m now the only one who can take care of you. Why not call them to come?” Cassie laughed at him in disgust. “They all ran away and left you, and you think I will really ‘care’ for you?” Cassie questioned scornfully.“I don’t want you, Cassie.” The old man said grumpily.“Then stop calling me or reporting me to the state authorities! I want you out of my life!” Cassie yelled at him. “Can’t you just live on your own and let me be?” She questioned him in annoyance.She sat down again, pulling him by the wheelchair close to her. “Now, I want you to finish this bowl so I can get out of here.” She urged him arrogantly, forc
“Do you still think a crippled man can rule this company?” Madam Felicia indignantly questioned the boards.“Does being crippled mean his brains are no longer functioning?” Mr. Leo questioned seriously.“I -” Madam Felicia stammered.“Mr. Jamal can still run the company because he has no restrictions since he isn’t paralyzed. He can attend board meetings by using private cars and private jets. What else? His office can be based downstairs or upstairs, it doesn’t matter since there are elevators. What else? Everything is fine.” Leo explained everything meticulously and they nodded approvingly.“Madam Felicia, do you have any reason why Mr. Jamal should step down from leadership? I mean, he might have inconveniences while working these few days but that doesn’t mean he won't function well. The technology lies in his brain and not in his leg.” Guraz, a shareholder informed her calmly and she sighed.“It would be better if his stepbrother supported him while he took some rest. He can rest
“You are leaving for the States?” The board of directors questioned him almost at the same time and he nodded.“Yes, I have to. It’s necessary.” He said.“Can we at least know the reason for your leave? Fifteen days without you in this company will be hell.” Leo courteously begged for a valid reason even when he knew it was not necessary because he had the right to leave.“It’s concerning my health.” He began. “All messages and business information should be transferred to Dennis as he will be acting as me till my return.” He paused. “Of course, Mr. Leo can also tend to the ones he can carry but for those fifteen days, I will be strictly unavailable.” He meticulously explained to them.“Sure then. We wish you the best and a safe trip.” They said in unison as he controlled himself out of the meeting room, meeting with Melanie who was waiting for him outside.“How was it?” She asked him, walking beside him in the hallway.“They agreed. But, I feel reluctant to leave, you know.” He frowne
“You still haven’t told me how you know Cassie as the one I planted.” Madam Theresa curled her lips.“Is that what you should worry about at this moment?” Madam Felicia shunned her. “Jamal left the country and no one is agitating about it! Is it possible for his position to stay empty for fifteen days?” Madam Felicia grunted, asking anxiously.“You have tried all methods but all are abortive, do you want me to also embarrass myself?” Madam Theresa raised a scornful brow.“Well, find something else to shake them. Have you run out of ideas?” Madam Felicia urged her grumpily.“And when did you start listening to my suggestions? I thought you were the lord of omnipotent ideas.” Madam Theresa said, staring at her.It was obvious that the two women were teasing and harassing themselves. Soon, someone dropped two cups of coffee on their table.“We didn’t order this.” They shrugged, informing the waitress almost at the same time.“I did.” A hoarse voice said behind them, taking his seat across
“H -how, - w- what -, I-s ?!” The staff and board of directors couldn’t find the right words thus they roared in applause on seeing him. He walked forward, holding the edge of his chair.“But, I thought you are coming back in ten days?” Martins questioned, looking disturbed.“Yeah, the instructor said I’m so determined and ambitious which fastened my training. I’m fine to come back home.” He explained rashly. “Is that reason enough?” He raised a sly brow and Martins skeptically nodded.He diverted his eyes to the others. “On my way here, I heard a rumor concerning Mr. Dennis and some embezzlement?” He said rhetorically, staring at them.Leo cleared his throat. “This is not a good welcome package but that’s what happened. Dennis conspired with an enemy to rip off our empire.” Leo explained rashly to him in a polite tone.“Oh really? After more than twenty years of being in this company, he could only embezzle now?” He raised a brow, others nodded seeing that he was making sense.“Well,
“You are back.” Cassie sighed.“I warned you not to come to my office.” He hissed.“But, we need to talk.” Cassie urged him sadly, approaching his desk.“Talk about what?” He questioned seriously. “Letting you off easily should be the best option for you to accept and leave.” He informed her.“But I’m still in love with you!” Cassie cried out.“In love with me or the money that your client paid you to deceive me?” He raised a brow, giving her a dirty look. Cassie was taken aback by his candid statement.“What? What do you mean?” Cassie stammered, unable to control the guilt she was having.“Do you think I’m so stupid that I don’t know what you are doing?” He smirked, standing from his seat.“From the day you took me home in my drunk state, I knew. I became more confident when I went to your house and happened to see transaction slips and files.” He paused and looked at her. “You are playing with a tiger yet you are not being careful.” He clenched his fist in anger.“I - I -” Cassie sta
"Melanie, did you know what you did?" He scoffed in astonishment. "Your father will be very angry if he finds out what you did." He informed her seriously."Right? But, I had to do it since his deal was fair." She paused. "Next time he wouldn't send me to his male clients." She pouted her lips, looking lovely and he laughed."You are ridiculous. You're selling your father's benefit to another man, what if I don't marry you?" He teased her, raising a brow."Then I'm going to marry you, it can be the other way round." She stuck out her tongue and he laughed again, curbing the car at the garage."But I still think you are making me look like a man who relies on his wife's support. You don't have to do this next time, Melanie." He warned her lovingly, looking worried and she nodded, assisting him to adjust his tie."I have heard you, sir. You have nothing to worry about." She smirked, dusting his shoulder."He is inside waiting for you, I will wait behind so I won't disturb your meeting."
