“There must be a mix-up somewhere, I don't know you.” Clara responded hastily.“Yes, she can't be the person you have seen,” Martins agreed.Nathan kept staring at Clara, he couldn't seem to discern where and how their path crossed but he knew he had seen her before.“I just relocated to New York,” Clara established.She didn't want Nathan ruining her plans so she prayed he would let it slide.Nathan didn't respond, instead, he just walked away.“People look like people anyways” Martins scoffed and shrugged.Nathan was acting weird recently and Martins wondered why.“And I'm a tourist so it's normal to hear things like this sometimes” Clara lied.That was a close call, she thought.Mrs. Alcantara was worried that her husband would keep making passes at her and she would eventually have to succumb.She wanted to clear her foggy mind so she decided to meet with her lover for some distraction.“I need more money,” her lover demanded.Mrs. Alcantara thought she could clear her mind with he
“It is done, boss,” Stone said.Mr. Graham was elated about the alleged news of Jamal Dashiell Jackie-Ville's infidelity. Coming up with such a plan was just the tip of the iceberg. Mr. Graham was planning something bigger that could tarnish Jamal Dashiell Jackie-Ville, forever.“This is just the beginning, I would make sure he experiences more humiliation than I did,” Mr. Graham said.His voice was laced with pent-up resentment.All the while, Nathan was quiet. He was like a sheep, waiting for the signal of his shepherd. “Let's see how quickly he resolves this chaos” Mr. Graham continued.“I will advise you not to celebrate yet” Nathan interrupted.Mr. Graham quickly lost his smile and turned to Nathan.“Why do you say so?” Mr. Graham demanded.“Jamal is a witty man, he would bounce back faster than you expect” Nathan explained.“Why do you think all my family's plans to ruin him never worked?” Nathan added.Mr. Graham thought about it for a while and was somewhat convinced about w
“[BREAKING NEWS: The GrandMaster of Technology, Chairman, Jamal Dashiell of Jamal Empire, and Jackie-Ville Empire is said to be having an affair with an unknown woman. Sources have it that his alleged mistress affirmed her affair with him…]”The framed news of Jamal's affair spread like wildfire. It made Jamal's business partners question his integrity and Jamal was on the verge of losing his reputation.“Sir, it is getting impossible to shut the press and their constant questions and comments,” Dennis said.They have been working throughout the night, trying to resolve this issue but the more they tried, the more it worsened.“Saying anything in my defense would sound like lies,” Jamal thought aloud.He couldn't go anywhere without the paparazzi on his neck. He wondered how his wife was handling all the chaos since he had yet to speak to her.“Why don't we try talking to this woman in question?” Dennis suggested.“No, it could bring more problems,” Jamal said.The last thing he wante
“Sir you need to see this.” Dennis informed Jamal courteously.This was all confusing, Dennis thought.One minute there was a woman, claiming she was having an affair with Jamal, and the next minute, she was saying the opposite.“The video is gone?” Jamal asked, surprised.Yes, he was happy that it was gone but it was too sudden, he thought.He couldn't seem to understand what happened and what was going on.“Is this some kind of massive prank?” Jamal asked again.“I have no idea, sir, we tried to look for the previous video, but it has already been deleted,” Dennis confirmed.“And the comments?” Jamal inquired.“They are all saying the same thing, the repulsive comments have reduced drastically." Dennis responded.“And my business associates?” Jamal asked.He couldn't afford to lose them to silly rumors.“Nothing yet, no one has called since the last time” Dennis replied.Although Jamal acted tough on the outside, he was nervous about the uncertainties of the future.He knew that no
“[BREAKING NEWS: The rumored news about The grandmaster of Technology, Chairman, Jamal Dashiell of Jamal Empire and Jackie-Ville Empire has been said to be invalid and null, as the alleged lady confirmed…]” Jamal's stepfamily was once again angered, by how fast Jamal trampled on their plans.Clara has been frequenting Jamal's stepfamily's house, helping as much as she could, and in no time, she was accepted by everyone including Nathan.“How did he resolve it?” Madam Felicia flared up.They woke up to the news and have been pissed since then.“We weren't present, Mother,” Martins replied sarcastically.“This man in question is highly connected, right?” Clara asked obliviously.“I wouldn't call it connection, I would say he is very lucky,” Martins said.“What do we do now?” Madam Theresa asked.“It is going to be difficult to destroy this Jamal guy then” Clara stated.“We will destroy him, even if it means taking his life,” Martins said angrily.“No, we would not” Nathan injected.Jam
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
