“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
“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
