“H- How did this happen?” He asked angrily.“Yes.” Leo faced Dennis. “A fire can’t start up in broad daylight without anything happening.” Leo indirectly urged him for an answer.“I was on my way to meet the chairman at the presidential villa when I got a call from the security guarding the branch, they informed me of a sudden fire which made me rush down there. I witnessed it with my eyes as the building exploded, burnt down into ashes, leaving only iron bars.” Dennis told the story to them sadly and they shook their head dolefully.“This is bad!” One of the investors screamed in pain.“That was a lot of money! Over $300 to $400 billion spent in building that magnificent structure.” One of the shareholders held his head, unable to withstand the news.“Not even this contest can make us recover such a loss. We are done for.” Leo informed him bluntly.“I can’t let this go just like that.” He clenched his fist in anger. “I will make sure to get to the button of this.” He gritted his teet
Just as he wanted, they fell for his trick and he was ever ready to try them wherever they were going.“Have you called him?” Madam Theresa shrugged with her eyes scanning the isolated hallway.“He said he will be here in a few minutes, we just have to wait.” Madam Felicia said, her eyes looking left and right while hitting her phone softly on her palm.Meanwhile, at the other corner, Jamal was dressed in a completely black outfit and nose mask. He pinned his back behind a long van that gave him a clear view of what they were doing; he could also hear what they were saying - maybe not so clear.“Do you think he is trying to stand us up?” Madam Theresa panicked more than the person in question, Madam Felicia sighed in disgust.“Will you calm down and wait? Don’t poke me, it’s not like I’m with him there.” Madam Felicia was so annoyed that she yelled at her co-wife in anger.They were the only ones in the creepy street and all they heard were rustles and weird sounds which scared them.
“Rich men do this but I had no belief that your father will follow them.” He sighed, about to leave the table but she stopped him by grabbing his hand.“Jamal.” She called out to him. Because of the eyes that were slowly turning to him, he reluctantly sat down. “It hasn’t gotten to the point of getting mad, has it?” She asked him sadly.“Of course, it has.” He paused. “If it was a case that I was a poor man, it would have been understandable. But right now, I have money and he is also aware that we are dating, why is he trying to arrange you for someone else?” He questioned annoyingly, staring at Melanie’s clueless eyes.“Well, if that’s what he wants, I won't fight with him. Besides, I have so much on my tab that I can’t afford to fight for a woman, At least I know, no one fought for me.” He informed her seriously, walking away from the restaurant.Melanie was in tears, no matter how she tried to control herself, they kept on rolling down her cheeks. She quickly grabbed her handbag a
Surprisingly, she was wearing a white silk dress, sleeveless and transparent, with her hair gathered into a bun. As soon as his eyes locked with her, she felt ashamed, and embarrassed, and had the sudden urge to do what she came for."Jamal, please just let me." She whispered.He was so surprised because that was the last thing he expected from her, why was she doing this? And how come she came into his mansion, straight to his bedroom without getting any security alert?"You can't do this, Melanie. Do you want to regret it?" He grabbed her hand, stopping her from making any progress."I'm not going to regret anything, Jamal. I want this." She urged him sadly with her eyes. "If I don't do this, I might regret it for a lifetime." She added."Talk to me, what's the problem?" He asked, staring at her with concern permeating through his eyes."I told Dad everything he need to know about our relationship and that we have decided to get married soon, it's not happening anytime now." She beg
"WHAT?! How? When?!" As he questioned seriously over the phone, he grabbed his car keys and rushed out of his office.The news he just heard had shattered him so much that he shoved people in the hallway and ignored their greetings."Why did you do this to me??" He questioned in annoyance as he barged into Mr. Alcantara's office.Mr. Alcantara was on a phone call and reacted startled upon seeing him, he quickly ended the call and shot him a dirty look."What is the meaning of this, Jamal?!" Mr. Alcantara fired at him."I thought we made an agreement and you accepted to let her be with me, why did you send her away without my consent?!" He questioned him angrily."Is that why you barge into my office this early morning disrespectfully?!" Mr. Alcantara yelled in his face."Yes because I have never seen a businessman that lacks integrity. We already agreed and reached a conclusion, why did you breach that??" He was annoyed and petrified that yelling at Mr. Alcantara couldn't soothe him.
"What kind of statement is that?" He laughed after hearing the news Dennis had brought for him. He scratched his hair roughly, entering the bank with him.Dennis went ahead to call the attention of the manager so their need would be given a solution."How can I -" The manager stopped talking when he found him familiar. After all the news spreading here and there, the manager had learned to respect everyone and mind his awful behavior."You are still working here." He smirked."Yes sir." The manager bowed down. "How can I help you, sir?" The manager asked courteously."Yeah -" He narrowed his gaze to Dennis, signaling him to speak."Yesterday, we were informed by customer service in this bank that the fund in my boss's account is too much and has exceeded the account limit. When did that rule begin?" Dennis explained, raising a brow."My apologies, it seems the customer service personnel is a new staff or didn't check your star level in the bank." The manager meticulously explained to
He was about to step out of the company through the main reception exit when Madam Felicia came from nowhere and slapped him hard on his face."What's the meaning of this?!" He held himself so strong else he would have given her a hard one on her face, after all, she wasn't his mother or anything important to him.Some staff and guests who had visited the company were left in awe at the shocking sight."Are you mad?!" Madam Felicia spat at his face."If you don't explain your action, I swear I will slap you back." He threatened her seriously."Who gave you the right to fire my son?!" Madam Felicia questioned him in annoyance."I haven't done that, I was giving it a second thought but with this, I will definitely see to it that he is fired." He informed her curtly."For your mind, you have grown wings, huh?" Madam Felicia scoffed. "Don't push me to the wall, Jamal. If you dare touch or do anything displeasing to my son, I will never let you go scout-free." Madam Felicia warned him."Do
“What’s the meaning of this? Please, I need an explanation.” Madam Felicia said, provoked as she struggled with the handcuffs.“If you struggle too much, you might injure yourself.” The officer shunned her.“Why won’t I struggle when I’m innocent?” Madam Felicia argued with the officer and he smirked, leaving the interrogation room.The detective stepped in, giving each of them a long look.“Are you here to release us? I won’t speak without my lawyer..” Madam Theresa angrily gritted her teeth.“Don’t bother your lawyer or waste your funds in the name of trying to blame him because there is enough evidence about the both of you.” The detective smirked.“We didn’t do anything!” Madam Felicia informed him vividly.“Then, how do you explain this?” The detective asked as he played the voice recordings and video records between Madam Theresa, Madam Felicia, and London but how ridiculous it was, the editor was able to cut out London’s voice and face which made it look like the main prime sus
