Chapter 23A few minutes after Andre had left the house, Rick the mercenary arrived to clear the mess which Fred had caused only to behold fleets of cars that belonged to the cops assembled outside of the house.He returned to his car and dialed Alex’s number.“Boss, the cops assembled at the main house. I'm just getting there now to witness the cop's van and red tape being spread outside of the house.“What?” Alex said, aghast.“The cops. I'm scared they might have caught Fred.” “Are you stupid? Didn't I ask you to clear the mess on time?” Alex yelled over the line.“I'm sorry boss, someone might have tipped the cops or perhaps Fred was trailed from the club,” Rick uttered in a shaky tone, his heart was as strong as a stone.The call ended.Meanwhile, on the other hand, Andre was in the compound in his invisible form documenting every movement of the cops.He also sent some of the footage to a popular journalist and tipped other media firms.In a few moments, the estate was flooded
Chapter 24Andre looked up staring at his wife with a bemusing expression.“Erm… Andre…” she spluttered, fiddling with her fingers. “Are you sure you could secure this job? It’s never too late to back down.”“Never worry dear, we are bringing the award home tomorrow,” Andre uttered in a dulcet tone, at the same time massaging her feet.“How do you intend in bringing home the award when you aren’t even preparing for the debate?”“You worry too much dear. I’m not going to fail as long as I live on Earth.” Andre said with a hint of boastfulness in his tone which didn’t seems to amaze Sasha to ponder over his appearance, words, and ability. Although his family history might be unknown, but he wasn’t looking bad as he looked the bad Calvin Henry in movies.Somewhere in heart, Sasha couldn’t help but to drool over him.“Are you checking me out? You love me, isn’t it?” Andre’s words cut through Sasha’s train of thoughts.She flinched, and her brows shot up. “In your dream, Andre!” Her fist
Chapter 25 “Oh, Sasha I never expect to see you here in this opening debate. Does this imply you've been reinstated to your former position as the general manager?” Sasha smiled and draped her hands over Andre’s shoulders. “No, I'm here with my husband.” The young man stared for a while without uttering a single word, his eyes coquettishly undressing Sasha. “Sylvester?” a voice called from behind and the trio turned to look at the speaker. They watched as the speaker strode gingerly to their side and then a smuggle smile curled up her entire cheeks. “Look who we have here, the useless son-in-law of the Rolland’s family who was kicked out.” Lucia sneered. Hearing this, Sasha was embarrassed, her brows furrowed and her eyes lingering on Andre for fear that she might have heard wrong. “What do you mean by a useless son-in-law?” The young man from earlier inquired. “Oh, Sylvester would you pay a dead ear to the prolong rumors that circulated in the capital then, I mean 7 years
Chapter 26“Sylvester, I never knew you looking down on people was part of your indiscoverable talent.” Sasha uttered in a dulcet tone, maintaining her demure state.Sylvester laughed dryly then persisted, “come on Sasha. I’m only being considerate of you. Thinking of all the time I’ve spend in_”“Disgraceful! So shameless! Asking a married woman out in the presence of her husband is so irritating.”“It would only be disgusting if the supposed husband wasn’t a loser like you.” Sylvester said and as he made to utter more words, the spokesperson arrived and announced the beginning of the debate.Even though Sasha was seated comfortably and composed, her hands were shivering. She was scared she would be humiliated should Andre loses to Sylvester.“Alright ladies and gentlemen you’re all welcome to the first part of this project from Stark corporation. Without any delaying, we would be starting our debate now and each participant is allowed to use maximum of five minutes.”Soon there we’
Chapter 27Sasha was frost, her body stifled.Sylvester looked into the directions of Andre and Yvonne and his lips parted slightly, an endless thoughts running in his mind.How could that be possible? The spokesman must have been mistaken. What does the Emerald groups has that could have warrant them a whooping 17 floors?He pondered, but couldn't found an answers to his questions, so he sprang to his feet and strode towards the spokewoman.Sylvester stood elegantly, his outfit emitting an aura of nobility and possessiveness.“You must have mistaken ma’am in the calling of the winner,” Sylvester uttered in a disdainful and contemptful tone.The spokewoman had her brows furrowed tightly as she stared into the papers in her hands, then looked up.“Mister, why would you say that?” The spokewoman inquired in a hush lower tone, her face calm.Sylvester swallowed, then said in a loud voice. “Who isn't aware of the level of unprofessionalism and quacky job done by the Emerald Group in the
Chapter 28Sasha was composed but her hands shivered and her heart thumped fastly as she saw two black-clad men approaching her car.In a twitch, the door was yanked open with Sasha being dragged out of the car fiercely.She whimpered and whirled to glance at Andre who was sitting unperturbed, his head was leaning against the armchair, and his eyes shut.Sasha lips curled slightly in a frustrating sigh, she cursed at him in a thousand times in her mind.What kind of man would sit comfortably and watch his wife bring taken away without even fighting back?Tentacles of panic wrapped around her shoulders as she was dragged away.“Even your worthless husband wont save you from our master’s hands, today.”Sasha froze when they stopped in front of a familiar man.She racked her brain, trying to remember where she had known him, but the harder she think, she realized it was useless anyway.“Let go of me!” she yelled, jerking her hands away from their grasp, while they were persistent in hold
Chapter 29“Wife,” Andre called in a calm tone ignoring her chagrins, “Be rest assured! You sonic too much.” Andre said, stepping on the accelerator, then sped off, going on a different route which led to the patriarch villa.“We should get home first so I could speak with my father.”“We should get to the villa first to share the good news before going home.” Andre cut her off.Sasha was going to resist but kept quiet and so relaxed her head on the seat, her eyes shut and a short breath moving out of her mouth.“You have no idea who that man is, do you?” Sasha asked, panic still eating through her.Andre shook his head.“You should have just ignored_”“And watch you die, or be humiliated?” Andre interjected in a high-pitched tone. “I'd rather die than witness my wife being humiliated without doing anything.” “You might get arrested and…” she stopped at her words to ponder for a while. She swallowed hard, then said. “I'll give you some money so you can run far away from this city. S
Chapter 30“What?” they exclaimed, their eyes wide-opened after confirming that Andrew truly won the contract.“So what if you won?” Drake’s voice cut across the room, attracting attention to himself. “You set us in trouble causing Grandpa’s warehouse to burn to the ground. Isn't it appropriate for you pay for your mistake?”Silence loomed over the hall at Drake’s questions.“Yes, I will pay for my mistake. But I doubt if I had committed any mistake.” Andre answered.Faint murmuring erupted in the air, with Drake's scorning following after.“Andre you seem so full of yourself. You staked a game with Grandpa’s house, you should deal with that mess. Grandpa should not allow you to take over the project.” “That will be impossible.” Sasha’s voice boomed in the air. She shook her head lightly as speaks. “You can't strip us off what we had worked for the past few days.” “But your husband's mistake stripped you of the privilege to take over this project. If only he hadn't burn Grandpa’s wa
