Jamal was in his office, when someone hurriedly entered the office without his permission.“I want a withdrawal from our partnership,” Mr. Mildred Alfonzo said.He was one of Jamal's biggest business associates and has worked with Jamal for years.“I'm sorry sir, I tried to stop him,” Jamal's secretary explained with an apologetic face.“It's alright Miss Nina, you may go back to your duty post,” Jamal assured.“Please have a seat, Mr. Mildred, let's talk,” Jamal offered.He did not understand the reason for his sudden change of mind.“I don't want to have any conversation with you, Mr. Jamal Dashiell,” Mr. Mildred Alfonzo said.“At least I need to know your reason for withdrawal,” Jamal stated.“It is my investment, my rule,” Mr. Mildred said.“What is the fuss all about?” Jamal was confused.“So I need to explain to you, why I need my money?” Mr. Mildred asked.“Yes, because it is not just affecting you but it is also affecting me,” Jamal objected.“Because I can't continue to inves
Jamal was beginning to panic, as he had received calls from four of his business associates, demanding annulment from his Empire.He wondered why, because no matter how much he thought about their excuses, it was not worth the action.“Dennis, I want you to look into something for me,” Jamal requested.“Okay?” Dennis said attentively.“My business associates are gradually withdrawing from my business arrangements with them and I'm worried,” Jamal stated his fears.“Did you ask them what the problem is?” Dennis asked.“I did, but their reasons are not valid,” Jamal answered.“Did they all have the same reasons?” Dennis questioned.“No, but something is going on, that we have no idea about,” Jamal said.“I will do my best to find out, as soon as possible, sir,” Dennis assured.“And yes, check if there's anything suspicious too, and if they have new investments,” Jamal ordered.“Alright sir,” Dennis replied.Just as Jamal was concluding his discussion with Dennis, another business associ
Mrs. Alcantara's plan was working. She had her pleasures and her marriage was still intact. What could go wrong, she thought.Today her lover came to see her again. This is the seventh time her lover is coming to her house, in the space of a month.“When does your husband travel?” Her lover asked impatiently.She knew they were acting like kids, that they were committing a crime or doing something hideous.She was getting uncomfortable with it, the rushed sex and hasty conversations.“It is always impromptu,” Mrs. Alcantara said.She wondered why she asked.“This is insane,” her lover exclaimed.“What is insane?” Mrs. Alcantara asked, confused.Mrs. Alcantara could not understand this lady sometimes.“This hide and seek game, it's getting exhausting,” her lover announced.“I pay you well and even extra, what more do you want?” Mrs. Alcantara asked, frustrated.“I don't want us to hide anymore,” her lover declared.“It's no longer eloping, huh?” Mrs. Alcantara said, surprised.“Why don
Mr. Alcantara forgot an important document at home, he had been calling his wife to send someone to bring it over but she was not responding to his calls.He thought something happened and decided to go home and take it himself.He was shocked beyond words at the abominable sight before him. He tried composing himself, as he cleared his throat to get their attention.“Damn it!” Mrs. Alcantara exclaimed in fear.Her lover tried covering her face with the duvet to hide her identity.“I expected more from you,” Mr. Alcantara said disappointed.“Honey, it's not what you think, we were just trying out the bed,” his wife said, fidgeting.“And what does your friend have to say?” Mr. Alcantara asked.He raised his fingers in the air to make an air quote, when he said the word, friend.Mrs. Alcantara's lover felt ashamed of herself and couldn't say anything.“Trying out the bed you lay on every day?” Mr. Alcantara scoffed.It was a flimsy excuse and he knew it. He was disgusted.“You see, uhm,
Jamal had lost almost all his business associates, but still no explanation as to why they withdrew. Dennis had yet to give him a positive response on the situation at hand, and he felt unsettled.“Sir, I followed one of your associates and it was discovered that he has not been in his family house for some time now,” Dennis said.He came into a report on the work he was given.“Did you check for his whereabouts?” Jamal asked immediately.“Yes sir, we searched every nook and cranny of his usual spots, even his family seemed to be out of town,” Dennis answered.“That's odd, he always loved working from home,” Jamal thought aloud.“I thought as much, so I decided to search at the airport terminal and even went as far as asking for the check-ins from the last month,” Dennis explained.“And?” Jamal asked inquisitively.He knew something was going on but he couldn't quite explain what it was.“And there haven't been any check-ins or check-outs bearing his name,” Dennis confirmed.“So are yo
Amidst all the chaos, Mrs. Alcantara had been receiving calls from an unknown number. Initially, she wanted to ignore the constant calls but the call was persistent so she stepped away from earshot to pick up the call.“Hello?” She answered skeptically.“You think being a boss is the ultimate?” The person on the other line said.Mrs. Alcantara was confused, she couldn't understand what this person was saying. “Who is this?” Mrs. Alcantara asked.“I would make you suffer for all the things you have made me go through,” the unknown caller said.Mrs. Alcantara thought hard about who the caller could be, but she felt stagnant. She never had any feud with anybody so she was confused.“What do you want from me?” Mrs. Alcantara asked.“I want you to suffer, you disrespectful old hag,” the unknown caller said.“Hold on, are you responsible for what is happening right now?” Mrs. Alcantara exclaimed.She didn't know this person, so she wondered what she did to deserve such punishment from the c
It has been a week since the news about Mrs. Alcantara's sexual relationship with Madam Theresa and the news has yet to settle down.Everyone kept talking about it, it was unending and Mr. Alcantara could not do anything about it.He felt his business crumbling and he was also worried that his daughter, Melanie, had not called to confirm the news.He knew she was distancing herself from the family drama because of her history with her mother.“Honey, I prepared food for you,” Mrs. Alcantara announced.She had been trying to atone for her recent behavior. “Do I look hungry to you?!” Mr. Alcantara said furiously.He hasn't been at work for a while because of the paparazzi and the bad comments. He wanted to come up with a plan before going back to face the camera, or even try to explain himself.“You have not eaten since the morning, please,” Mrs. Alcantara urged.She knew she was at fault but she wanted to make things work.“Melanie has not called since she heard about your act of fooli
Jamal's stepfamily finally came up with a plan to sabotage Mr. Graham's plan.Nathan made a plan with the help of Mr. Graham's original plan.“So what do we have to do?” Madam Theresa asked.After the incident and the news of Madam Theresa and Mrs. Alcantara's sexual relationship, Nathan has completely ignored his mother.He was still pissed at her but decided not to dwell on it for so long. Their plan had to go on, with or without his mother.He wanted to become the CEO of Jackie-Ville's Empire and he would get it by all means.“Mr. Graham wants me to visit one of Jamal's associates, I believe he is the last of them,” Nathan stated.“Mr. Graham huh?” Clara said.“Yes, that is the name of the supposed, mysterious man that was expected to help us bring Jamal down,” Nathan answered.“What is his full name?” Clara asked.Knowing the name of the man would help her cousin and her husband figure out who he is.“Why do you want to know?” Nathan asked suspiciously.“We should at least know who
They finished packaging everything in the car.“ Can I talk to you for a while?” Paula asked, as she flipped her hair to her back. “ Sure,” Melanie answered. They walked inside the house. “ I wanted to properly apologize to you about what happened between Jamal and me, I know you still resent me but I am here now to say I am sorry for the pain I caused you and your family”Melanie was not expecting that to come out in that manner. They had stayed quiet while packaging the things they needed for vacation. No words or laughter were exchanged. They minded their business. “ It is fine, apology accepted” She smiled at her, it was genuine. “ Can I get a hug?” Paula askedMelanie pulled her into a hug. “ We are going to go late, ladies,” Jamal shouted from the window. He had been watching them. He wanted to let them be but they were running out of time. They got into the car. He drove them to a resort. He got down and opened the car door for them. “ Such a beautiful place to be in” M
Jamal had to sit close to her to see it. “ I had my suspicions about this,” he said.“ I was on it and this just confirmed it, I will send this to the police” It was a video that contained the things he did to little girls that were brought to him. “ He can't escape this” Mitchell smiled at the laptop in front of her as she forwarded it to the police. “ Hey dude, thanks for this” Mitchell got herself a glass of wine. She was happy because that was the only thing left to find out. She figured that Reuben would be able to get it for her. He had kept that for the last fight against Sam. The flash that Paula had taken just had little of what he was doing. “ Glad I kept that safe,” Reuben smiled broadly. The door opened and Dave walked in. He went to Mitchell and kissed her passionately.“ Didn't see that coming” Reuben was shocked to see them that way. “ Get used to it dude” Dave replied to him.“ Getting a toast? We've worked so hard to save everyone from that disaster” Paula go
When the door opened, Richard was trying to suffocate Dave. He was immediately handed over to the police. He was taken away from the hospital. The doctors had to urgently attend to Dave and make sure he was okay. They all went back to their houses. Paula could not afford to stay alone so she joined Mitchell at her place. After a while, Reuben came by. “ What was that about? The thing between you and Melanie” Mitchell asked Paula. “ Melanie and Dave had something in the past. We are just here because Sam took my daughter, and I knew how dangerous it was that my daughter was with him” “ Excuse me, you have a daughter?” Mitchell's mouth dropped open, she had never seen her or heard her talk about her daughter.“ Yes, my daughter, Jamal's daughter, Rose. Rose is my daughter, I was not ready to handle a baby so I left her at the playing ground, luckily for me, Jamal and Melanie took her” Mitchell was surprised to hear that. She wondered how Paula must have felt seeing her daughter a
She got downstairs and could not see Paula. She looked around the place. “ Where is she?” She asked Sam who stood there looking shocked as well. “ She was right here when I left this place” Michelle was not having any of it. She charged at him. “ Where did you keep her?” “ This was all planned by the both of you, you saying you wanted to pee, and then I left her here, you two planned this” He left Mitchell there and went upstairs. Mitchell ran to the door that the maid had pointed. She got to the door and saw that it was locked. She tried to hit it open but it was not working. ” Who is there?” Mitchell heard a faint voice coming from the room. She leaned in on it. “ Anyone there?” She asked. “ Mitchell” That was Reuben calling faintly. He had woken up and could not recognize where he was. He tried to stand up but could not do so. He was weak.He crawled to the door and tried to open it but it would not open. He struggled with the door but could not open it. He stayed ther
Reuben got to the address and quickly sent it to Mitchell. He walked closer to it. It was a massive building. “ How possible!” He exclaimed as he saw the house. He walked into it. Sam Anderson went to the door to get him. He had seen Reuben outside. He got there and opened the door for Reuben. Reuben walked in and could not believe how well-decorated the house was. “ You own this?” He asked “ No, I do not,” he answered as he sat down.Richard was upstairs looking at them. Sam raised his face and looked up. Richard nodded at him. He was still talking with Reuben when the maid brought a drink. “ You should have this,” he said to him.Reuben took it from the maid and drank it. He continued to talk with Sam till he began to feel dizzy. He stood up. “ Where can I get some rest, I am so tired,” he said to Sam. “ Take him to the room,” he said to the maid. Richard came downstairs when Reuben had been taken to the room. “ He will be there for a long time,” Sam said to Richard. I
She quickly told Dave about the man that had met her at the pack. It sounded surprising to him at first but was no longer funny when he remembered that someone was following Mitchell as well. “ Maybe it is just some coincidence,” he told Paula. Paula was not satisfied with it. She went to her bag and brought out the card he had given her. She called him up. When Richard saw her call, he smiled. “ Such an easy catch,” he said as he picked it up and answered. She wanted him to meet her up in a place, that same place. He teased her about missing him already. He got dressed and drove out of the house. He got to the place and saw that she had already gotten there, and even had a drink on the table. He walked to her. “ Wanna give me a hug?” He spread his hands at her. “ Not today” She waved at him to sit down. He had a disappointed look on his face. “ So you missed me?” He ordered his drinks as well. “ You wish, far from that” She took a sip. “ Did you follow me home t
He smiled as he sent the last apology message to her. He had been pleading with her to forgive him. He sent flowers and gifts as well. He stayed on his bed, looking at his phone and waiting for a reply from her. It came, she had forgiven him. He immediately asked her to fix a place for them to meet. He told her how badly he wanted to see her. She accepted and sent him a location. She stood in front of the mirror as she dressed. “ You look great,” Dave said to her as she stepped out of her bedroom. “ Thank you” “ Why did you put so much effort into looking this good, going on a date?” He had fear in his heart that she was going to see a lover. “ Is that so? I do not want to appear like that, I will go change” She rushed into the room and had to change the way she styled her hair and had to also change her clothes. She came out in front of Dave. “ Is this okay?” She asked him. “ Yes, where to go?” “ To see someone” was all she said before she left the house. She entered her
He had everything set. He looked so flashy and smelt of wealth. He smells good as well. He got into his car and drove to the expensive restaurant that was in town. He parked his car and got out. The ladies there blushed as they flashed his smiles. He waved at one of the girls, she could not believe that he was waving at her. She smiled broadly as she held her chest. He walked into the restaurant. He looked so good, his hair and the way his lips looked, soft and inviting. He entered and the attention he got was beautiful. He looked around like he was searching for someone. He walked to a table and pulled the chair. “ I wish I was the one he sat with,” one of the ladies at the opposite table said, she was loud enough to be heard. He kept his hands on the table, with his fingers making a tapping sound on the table.Mitchell raised her face and looked at him. He smiled at her. “ Thought you would never look at me or notice that I have been sitting down here” he smiled again. Mitch
He drove back to the house feeling down and dejected. He could not explain why everything was beginning to turn against him. He got home and noticed that the domestic staff were not there. He called out to them but did not hear anyone answer. He went around his house and saw that no one was around. He called the security man at his gate and asked where his domestic staff had all gone. “ When I asked them, they answered that you asked them to leave, I had to let them go” He was angry, he slapped the gatekeeper. He went back inside the house and had to go to their rooms. He got there and saw that their belongings were no longer there.“ I never gave any order,” he screamed. He went inside and for the first time in a long while, he entered into his kitchen to get a drink. He sat down, he was scared to open his phone, he was also scared to turn on the television as well. The door opened and Reuben walked in. He saw the bottle of drink with Sam, he rushed to Sam and took the drink a
