"Who is she?" The voice of Melanie drew him back to reality and he sighed heavily."Nice to meet you, Miss. Moore." He said, facing Melanie. "She's the lady that helped me last night when my car broke down." He explained rashly and she nodded."I'm Melanie, his girlfriend." She curled her lips but Cassie didn't react or show any feelings, rather she smiled."I'm Cassie." They shook hands."I would have loved to discuss further but right now, I'm in a hurry." He informed her abruptly."It's alright, go ahead. Thanks." Cassie flashed him a smile. He gave a short look at Melanie before rushing out of the company.Melanie sighed heavily. "I will show you around the office, cool?" She raised a sly brow."No, it's fine. I was here because of Mr. Jamal. According to Mr. Leo, he is the CEO and my boss, I wanted to introduce myself to him but that has already happened so I will leave." Cassie said steadily."Sure. See you around then." She smiled.Martins sat on the stool as he gulped the alcoh
“Jamal, yo- -” She wanted to run after him but Martins held her.“Let him go,” Martins said with a low voice.“Let him go? Why should I do that when he is misunderstanding everything!” She yelled at him in anger.“Melanie, you are beautiful and don’t need an idiot like Jamal -” Martins was about to touch her cheek but she threw her face away.“Let me go!” She pulled her arm away from his hand. “You know you are the cause of everything. I told you I didn’t need your fucking care and attention, I told you to leave my office, if you hadn't threatened to leak a new sex tape of Jamal, I wouldn’t have played along with you!” She lashed at him in anger.“To me, you did nothing wrong. Why is he in so much pain? It only means he doesn’t trust the woman he is dating.” Martins curled his lips.“If I were you, I would also let him go. Do you think it’s because of our action that made him end things with you?” Martins laughed, raising a brow.She faced him, with anxiety dancing in her eyes. “What d
“Because I explained my situation to you doesn’t give you any right to lure me into sleeping with you.” He shunned her, standing from the bed.“Jamal, I -” She tried to touch him but he shoved her hand away.“I won't condole to this habit.” He sighed. “I will act like this never happened.” He beeline to the door but Cassie was so desperate that she didn’t let him go, rather she rushed behind him until they got to the living room.“Just please, Jamal. Are you going to walk out of here without doing it? Do you know if your ex-girlfriend has already done it with your stepbrother?” She questioned anxiously, aiming at irritating him.“That’s none of my business.” He tightened his chin, controlling his anger because he might explode at the thought of it.“No woman wants an innocent weak man! You need to be fierce and domineering not some weakling protective lover.” She fired at him.“Not all men have to be fierce or dominant. My own woman will come, the one that loves me for who I am, withou
“I’m no longer interested in continuing partnership with C-Gaming Group.” He said seriously, slapping the detailed contract on the table.Melanie smirked as she reluctantly picked it up. “Why? You can’t end a partnership without any reason.” She informed him.“I have gotten a better proposal from another company and the interest from C-Gaming Group isn’t increasing as expected.” He said vividly.“And all this while, you said nothing about it. Why are you trying to end it now? Does this look like some relationship that you can end overnight?” She fired at him. “Before signing this contract, all the management board were present to deliberate terms with you which you accepted, you also agreed to take up failures in the process since business is about loss and gain. Why now are you trying to terminate it?” She questioned him annoyingly.“Is it by force to partner with your company?” He raised a disgusting brow. “I’m not interested anymore and I’m not changing my mind. Please, sign that b
"Goodness! Martins what happened to your face?" Madam Felicia shivered, caressing her son's bruised face as soon as he stepped into the living room."Answer me, did you hit your face somewhere or did someone hit you? Why do you look so horrible?" Madam Felicia agitated seriously, as she signaled the servants to bring the first aid box."It's - it's Jamal," Martins grunted and his mother's eyes widened in dismay and annoyance."Jamal? What did he do?" She swallowed hard, trying not to get ahead of herself."He overheard my discussion with you and started punching me." Martins faced his mother. "For some reason, I was so scared as he looked fearless and scary," Martins added, shaking his head."That stinky pumpkin slapped my son, no not that, punched my son!" She questioned in anger. "He has the guts! The momentum! I will deal with him, personally." She said confidently with a loud voice."Mum, we have to be careful as he warned us seriously that he will deal with anyone that obstructs h
Melanie arranged her files in a brown box including her working materials. After the intrusion of Cassie Moore, her father’s company was truly no longer beneficial which means she had no reason to stay. Inwardly she regretted not purchasing some sjares in his company which would have caused her a permanent time with him. To give him hell for leaving her.She held the box and strolled down the hallway, trying to keep a straight head and happy face even though the situation was saying something else.Soon, some staff who didn’t notice her started their gist as soon as they got into the elevator.“Really?” One of the staff gasped. They were three in number.“I saw it with my own eyes.” The first lady paused. “Mr. Jamal was proposing to Miss. Cassie, the new shareholder.” The first lady added vividly.“Wow! This is so surprising. Two brothers finding love all over the workplace but then I’m still single.” The third lady cringed and her colleagues laughed at her.“But, I thought Mr. Jamal l
“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
