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
Chapter 31Alighting from the taxi, Andre met Sasha and his father-in-law outside, wailing.A few inches from was the sight of their house burning down to ashes.His steps faltered for a bit then he ignorantly approached them. “Wife, what happened? Why is the house burning?” As soon as Rosi heard Andre’s voice, he tossed around, pulling away from Sasha while he stood erected on his feet.“You scumbag! How dare you bring your bad luck to this house?” Rosi poked his fingers in the air at Andre, then curled his fingers into a fist.“Father-in-law, who are you talking to?” Andre asked maintaining his calm demeanor.Rosi clicked his tongue and smirked. “You offend some bad ass and now see what your reckless action have caused.”“I didn’t do anything bad. I was only trying to _”“Arguing with me now, huh? Are you stupid or high?” Rosi asked leaping forth to serve some clouts against Andre’s face but Sasha stepped in between stopping her father, her face only a few inches away from his pu
Chapter 32“Don't you ever think that you'll be accepted in to this family again.” patriarch Rollins fumed, and veins popped out of his head.His heart clenched that he almost suffered a cardiac arrest.He gritted his teeth as he watched Sasha walking after Andre.‘That miserable and destitute boy?’ patriarch Rollins could not bear the anger as he stomped his feet and clenched his feet, but he will do as she wants.She wants to be cut off from the Rollin’s family then fine.Andre stopped by the car, then turned to face Sasha. “Sasha you don't have to follow me. You should return home.” Sasha lightly poked his chest. “What do you mean by returning home? Ill follow you anywhere you go.” she uttered in a sober tone, tears already fslijng fton her eyes to her neck.“I might spend months in jail. Me going to jail might ruin your reputation and reduce your steeze.” Andre said to change her mouth.Sasha was persistent in her decision, at the end of the day, Andre permit her todo whatsoever
Chapter 33“Hmm!” Badmus smirked and flipped the hems of his clothes. “Andre, this is the end of you.” He grinned and watched as Andre was being pushed inside the cop’s vehicles.“Father, now that Sasha is out of the pictures, what do we do next?” Drake inquired.Badmus tsk and clicked his tongue before he turned to grab Drake by his arms.“We will wait for the old man to die then finally my sister will be disconnected from the life-supporting machine and we will be the new owner of Rollin’s conglomerate.” “Hmm…” Drake sucked in his breath, nodding his head alongside. “What about the project award from Starlink corporation?”“You’ll be the supervisor and I expect you to already know how to divert some funds into our offshore accounts,” Badmus said. “Low quality material that’s what we will be using for them.” “Okay, father.” Badmus walked in leaving Drake behind, while Drake chuckled.On the other hand, Sasha stopped a taxi over and hopped in.“Please trail after that car.” She
