"I don't understand the address that you sent. If you can explain properly to me. I will be there in no time." He shrugged, controlling the steering with his hand with the other holding his phone up to his ear."That's why I said you shouldn't end the call, keep coming and you will see me." The caller urged him. "It's a new company I started, the road is not yet linked, and getting an address is hard. I can only direct you through call." The caller added.He looked to his left and right, and all he saw was a thick bush. The road was smooth and isolated and only the sound of crickets could be heard.He was agitating to continue the trip but because Melanie and an investor had assured him, he decided to give it a go. The man sounded hideous over the phone but that aside, he was willing to invest thousands of millions as long as his instructions were followed."I'm at the turning point." He haven a sigh."Keep coming straight." The caller said.To be reassured again, he looked at the tex
"Are you insane? Lay a hand on my daughter and I will show you how mad I can become!" Mr. Alcantara yelled at the detective's face as they stepped out of his office."What's going on here?" Mr. Alcantara questioned them seriously. Beside him was Melanie who was staring at them clueless and confused."We received news from the source and also following Mr. Jamal's last chat, that the last person he had contact with was Miss. Melanie and a young man. Currently, the young man is out of sight and our prime suspect is Miss. Melanie." The detective explained rashly."That's ridiculous! I'm his girlfriend." Melanie informed them vividly."We don't care, right now, we have to take you back to the precinct for some questioning." The detective refused.Mr. Alcantara laughed. "What can my harmless daughter do to him? Besides, they have been dating for months now." Mr. Alcantara shook his head. "I won't let my daughter leave here without her lawyer." Mr. Alcantara informed them strictly."I'm not
“Madam Felicia, I’m sorry to say this but you can’t take Jamal out of the hospital!” Dennis refused strongly.“How dare you!” Madam Felicia queried.“I’m saying what’s right!” Dennis queried. “He has money and shares everywhere, don’t you think is wickedness to discharge him? Or do you desperately want his end?” Dennis raised a brow, forgetting he was speaking to a superior.“You have no right to speak with my mother in that manner!” Martins shunned him.“And your mother has no right to control someone’s life!” Dennis yelled.“Are you tired of living?” James asked, irritated.“What do you think?” Dennis raised a brow. He looked so annoyed and angry.“Someone should call the guards to drag this old fool out of here!” Madam Felicia scoffed in disgust. “I have always been mild with you because of the relationship you had with my late husband but if you continue to act along with that little rag, I will make sure you join him.” She threatened him seriously.“Then, you should stay clear be
“Jamal?” Everyone gasped, with different facial expressions. Madam Felicia’s face was saying a complete “I thought you were dead!”The event turned upside down as guest and press media reporters demanded an explanation.“What are you doing here?” Madam Felicia gritted her teeth in anger as she approached Jamal.“It’s good to have you all here.” He said, flashing a smile. He looked like a new person, with no injury or scar. Now everyone wanted an explanation, was he the one in the hospital? Was he really kidnapped? They wanted a “legit” news.“Why do you have to come back today of all days?” Madam Felicia asked him seriously, forgetting they were in public.“Because I wanted to see you looking this way.” He curled his lips. “It gives me joy and I also want to see the look of pain, depression, and anxiety all over your face when the thing you desperately desire goes back to the real owner.” He said seriously, sounding deep and annoying.“You - -” Madam Felicia tried to slap him but he h
“I disagree!” Madam Felicia hit her hand on the table.“Your voice doesn’t count here.” He shunned her seriously and everyone looked at him in astonishment. They have never seen him in such a fury mood.“They are the same people that refused to partner with us when we begged them, they also refused to support us a few years before we survived a sharp period of bankruptcy. Do you still think they are worth partnering with?” Martins questioned him disgustingly after he saw the way he spoke meanfully to his mother.“That was when the leadership was confusing and not stable. No company will invest in another company that’s on the verge of falling, don’t you agree?” He raised a brow and the staff nodded their head in adjournment.“I said, I’m not comfortable with having them in this company. It’s never going to happen.” Madam Felicia insisted.“She is right. Since they abandoned us when we haven’t grown, I don’t think it’s right to keep them close. Reconsider this, young man.” Madam Theres
"Have you done what I have asked?" Madam Felicia drank the red wine, tossing her crossed leg as she made a call. She was looking through the bustling city on the balcony where she sat."Good. Make sure everything is set and signed before they meet." A small smile formed on her lips.As soon as she ended the call, Martins walked in, looking grumpy and annoyed."Mother, have you gotten the office memo?" Martins roughly sat beside her."Spell me. I'm no longer a board member, have you forgotten?" She rolled her eyes away from him disgustingly."Oh, that's true." Martins rubbed his forehead. "I still can't believe that with one word from that rat, you were no longer allowed to work in the company." Martins scoffed in disbelief."Is that a saying or you are making a mockery of me?" She asked with a hitch of annoyance in her voice with her sharp eyes darting at her son."I'm just saying because it's utterly annoying." Martins scoffed, closing his eyes briefly."You are here." While they wer
Soon, a black car surfaced in the street, coming in their direction. The car's front headlights were on and the driver constantly honked. They stood at a safe spot."Hey, is everything alright here?" A lady said, whining down the window from the passengers' seat."Not really, just a small issue." He groaned."I can give you a lift back to the city if that's okay with you." The lady raised a brow and he shook his head."No, that's okay." He finished his statement and Dennis flashed the strange lady a smile."Sir, I think you should join her so as not to miss the morning meeting tomorrow. I can find a way to tow the car back home." Dennis explained to him in a low voice."You sure? I don't mind staying here with you until it's fixed." He insisted."It's okay, sir. This is my duty." Dennis urged him.He faced the lady who seemed to be patiently waiting for him with no atom of annoyance. "If so, thanks for your offer and I will have to disturb you." He said with a smile.The lady signaled
"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
