“Didn’t I warn you not to play with fire?” Madam Felicia smirked, giving him a dirty laugh.“I guess your mother failed to teach you not to depend on dirty tricks.” He snorted.“I won, Jamal. This is to show you that I have every power to crumble you, you have to be careful of me.” Madam Felicia warned him.“I’m only going easy with you, old woman.” He looked at her seriously. “But since you hate chances, I won’t give that to you, I’m going to give it to you back to back.” He informed her curtly. “Beware of me as I would do something drastic if you dare to offend me. James’ case is only the tip of an iceberg.” He laughed in disgust as he confidently walked out of the court.Madam Felicia’s fist clenched in anger and Martins held her hand, preventing her from exploding.“Mum,” Martins called her out and she exhaled heavily, rolling her eyes away from him.“I hate this boy! I really want to get rid of him.” Madam Felicia bit her lips in anger.“That’s not going to happen if you let your
“I can explain.” He swallowed hard on nothing as he briefly closed his eyes.Martins smirked. “Explain what?” Martins laughed. “Everyone is now saying ‘the so-called Amazing Grandmaster of Technology is a man of multiple relationships, and now, someone is pregnant for him. He needs to get out of that company and change his title!’ do you still think such action can be soothed?” Martins asked in disgust after carefully quoting what was in the newspaper.“I know I was in a relationship with Melanie but before she left, she was never pregnant. I know myself more than anyone that rather than letting this news circulate, I will marry her.” He tried to defend himself but the faces of the staff and board of directors were not encouraging at all.“Do you want us to believe you?” Leo raised a disdainful brow. “We only accepted you as chairman because you had some potential but right now, we won’t fall with you.” Leo announced vividly and everyone nodded in approval.“We have all agreed to let
“I locked his account and froze all his access, he will soon come to me begging on his knees and I will never forgive him.” Madam Felicia laughed heartily.“This is just the beginning of his mystery. What can he do without the money of the Jackie-Villes?” Madam Theresa questioned knowingly and they burst into exciting laughter, then cheered.Madam Felicia left the mansion with her co-wife for shopping, they wanted to change their wardrobe as new things began since their children were in power.“Welcome, Madams. We are so glad to have you in our mall.” The mall attendant lauded them with praises as she followed them elegantly, they rolled their eyes away, admiring new collections.News had already spread on how their sons returned to the company and are making great progress. They were no longer underrated wherever they went, rather they bragged about what they carried.“I need that last edition Gucci and Luchenchy product.” Madam Felicia informed the mall attendant and her face squeez
“Do you know if they had a hand in this?” Dennis asked him as they sat on a nearby bench.The scorching sun was unbearable, that was the main reason they took cover.They were wearing their regular black trouser and shirt with no tie, at one look, one would know that they were really going through a lot.“I feel so. They would do everything they can so that I can never prosper in this city.” He muttered, resting his head on his palms.“What do we do? Now, we have cash yet we can’t use it to do anything.” Dennis complained.“We have to be secretive.” He faced Dennis, looking serious. “I think they are watching us.” He whispered to him.“What do you suggest?” Dennis raised a brow as his eyes secretly scanned the isolated area.“I think it’s time to go in disguise and gather arms.” As he spoke, he stood up and dusted his butts. As if planned, he went in a different direction and so did Dennis - like people who had no connected business.Madam Felicia strolled into Jackie-Ville Empire ele
"Everyone, let's welcome Jamal, our new recruit." The managing director of the gaming house announced to other staff."Welcome Jamal, I'm Jaden." A male staff shook his hand."Welcome Jamal, I'm Madison." "Hi Jamal, I'm John." They exchanged warm pleasantries by handshakes and he retaliated with a smile."You will be working with them here and taking care of every customer. Their needs and wants will be taken care of by you and your colleagues." The managing director began. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or your coworkers." The managing director concluded and left the gaming house.Since the managing director had gotten an extra hand, he could freely continue his private business without being restricted."Hey man, you look familiar." John shrugged as he approached Jamal, his colleagues followed him."I don't know what you are talking about." He shook his head, trying to avoid his question."No, you look like it." Jaden gave him a long look. "That young man that was i
"Do you sleep here or something?" Jaden shrugged as his colleagues pushed him gently while entering the gaming house. It's still early and they hadn't opened for customers to start coming."What do you mean?" He asked, dusting the monitors."It's still 6:35 a.m., man! Who comes so early?" John hovered over."What about you guys?" He raised a sly brow."Well, we are old staff and the managing director gave us a new task." Madison's voice found its way into their conversation."I'm trying to keep this job, so I'm sorry if I ruined your plans or something. Besides, I will be getting off early to visit my mother in the home care organization." He explained to them, knowing fully well it was a lie since he was keeping a different record."Home care organization? Is your mum sick? Did you ask the director for leave?" John asked anxiously, staring at him.To them, it took a month or two before they were granted leave."My mum has dementia, you know." He grunted pretentiously, rubbing his fore
"Stop here." He instructed the taxi driver and the driver curbed the car to a corner, soon, another passenger entered the car. It was Dennis."I'm sorry for inconveniencing you with such communication means." Dennis sighed while he signaled the driver to start the engine."It's nothing. I'm used to it." He flashed him a smile."The news had spread to your stepfamily, I think they have reduced the eyes they pinned around you," Dennis assured him."That's good." He smiled, bringing out a document. "Here are the files from the agent, we have acquired the land. Building can commence anytime soon." He informed him."That's good. You have done well, Mr. Jamal." Dennis smirked, taking the documents. Then, Dennis gave him a long look."Sir, how are you coping with your new environment?" Dennis asked with a voice filled with concern."What can I say? I'm fine." He nodded."Well, you are already used to living in trenches, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Dennis chuckled. "I can't wait to
"Why did you hide the truth from us?" Jaden, his colleague asked him seriously. They had pulled him into the staff room and locked the door."I- -" He began but was interrupted."Hope you ain't gonna tell another lie." Madison rolled her eyes."I had no idea I have people who care about me." He nervously scratched his hair. "I wanted to stay somewhere that no one knew about me." He informed them sadly."I know some people like living in isolation but since you are working with us, you would have spilled a little bean. Do you know how surprised I was?" John grunted."I'm sorry guys." He lowered his head."So, does this mean you are hiding from your stepfamily?" Jaden raised an anxious brow."Yeah, I have to stay as low as I can and also use this work as a cover." He explained to them."This is ridiculous." John sighed."It seems so, I felt something when a stranger was asking about you. I had to tell him off as he doesn't look like any of our customers." Madison curled her lips."Thank
