“What did he just do?”

“Did he just bow to that man?” Different People asked all at once , their voices laced with disbelief

The hall went into a frenzy, their murmurings echoing with disbelief

“It shouldn't be what I'm thinking”

“What is it that you are thinking?”

“Are you sure the call that man made was fake? As it is, maybe it wasn't”

“Wait, are you trying to say that the man might actually be the..”

“What! No way! The chairman of A and U?

“Exactly! Because who else holds that much power to make the CEO bow to them?”

“Oh my God, and I have been bashing him since, I hope the CEO won't take it out on us”

“Same here,I even called him horrible names, but thank God, I didn't say mine out loud”

“Shut up! But you did insult him!”

The whole hall was bustling with noise as people weighed on their opinions and horrible past attitude towards Andrew.

“Quite everyone! I need absolute silence this minute” The CEO thundered and the hall turned pin drop quite immediately.

    Tar! Tar! Tar! Mike and Lily continued to let out painful screams as their faces shifted from one side to the other at each strike.

Miranda sat at the corner wailing her eyes out as she saw her daughter being beaten like an animal. “Please I beg of you, Lily is sorry please show mercy,” Miranda said, walking towards the men, but the stern glare from the them made her halt in her steps, as she snapped her mouth shut instantly “Please sir, forgive us” Lily and Mike cried, their cheeks becoming too heavy to lift Despite their pleas the men continued landing heavy slaps on their faces with full force.

    The CEO’s men dragged Lily,Miranda, Ben and Mike out of the hall as they screamed at the top of their voices. “You will surely regret this! I mean it! All of you will come back crawling like idiots by the time the chairman hears about this!” Lily yelled, kicking her legs in defiance as the men dragged her out. “Wow, this is shocking” one of the guests said, heaving a deep sigh“The woman of the day has been bundled out from her own event”another woman added “Such a tragedy, I wonder how they are going to face the embarrassment”“How did she go from being the golden girl who was supposed to sign her partnership with A and U today, to a disgrace?” One of the women who had kept quiet and had just been listening, finally spoke up “But on the other hand, has anyone thought of why the A and U group suddenly canceled the partnership with Lily's company” “Didn't you see what she did?”another woman snapped “Yeah I saw that, she insulted that man” “He isn't just an ordinary man, he is th

    “I knew it! How did we even think that someone like that could be the Almighty chairman of A and U?” The guests talked amongst themselves as they began to leave the hall Their words flew into Andrew's ear but he disregarded it, they were free to think whatever they wanted to,that was the least of his problems. A comfortable silence settled between him and Benita , as he dragged from his cigarette while Amanda gently sipped from her wine glass. When the CEO saw that the rest of the guests had left, and it was just his boss and the woman he came with, he decided it was time to relay the Information he had. Benita saw the CEO approaching Andrew and she took that as a sign to excuse herself and give them some space. “I will be outside ” She said as she grabbed her purse from the table “Boss” The CEO called out as soon as he reached where Andrew was seated. “Say it out already”Andrew snapped as soon he noticed the gloomy expression on the CEO's face.

As Andrew stepped out of the hall, the message his CEO relayed to him about Tiffany,kept playing in his head, he really had no time for any distractions right now and the Tiffany he knew, wouldn't understand that. “Hey Andrew”Benita waved as soon as she saw Andrew walk towards her. All these while she was outside, she had been practicing on a better way to ask Andrew in a sensible and polite way about the one question that had been bothering her. “Hi Benita, are you ready to go?”Andrew asked as he got close eno

    “How dare that stupid chairman do this to me? Lily fumed, her insides boiling with rage “Ouch! take it easy, do you want to worsen my injuries? She glared at maid using a warm towel to massage her swollen face “ I put so much into preparing for that partnership? But what did I get in return?”She asked, not exactly expecting any answer “I would never forget this day in my life, do you know how many of my influential friends were in attendance? I had to pay some to come witness our big day, only for us to end up like this”Mike lamented, as he dapped the ice bag he was holding on his own swollen face “You know in my my 30 years on earth, this has got to be the worst day of my life, all these while, I thought you telling me about your pregnancy was the worst but….”Mike cautioned himself immediately and snapped his mouth shut “It's enough, we have to think of a way forward, lamenting won't bring the partnership back, we have to think!”Miranda snapped, glaring at Mike “Mom, what's t

    A few minutes later,Mike and Lily were on their way to A and U groups, and Mike decided to ask. Lily the question that had been on his mind “Babe, since we decided to postpone our wedding because of what happened, why don't we fix another date?”He asked, his attention fixed on the road Lilys face fell flat instantly as Mike's words sank into her ears. Getting married to Mike was the last thing on her mind,as all her plans had been centered on getting the partnership and also getting the chairman to be romantically involved with her, that was why she hastily brought up the idea of the wedding postponement after they were thrown out of the event . Mike had agreed at first , but she didn't expect that he would talk about fixing another date the same day they decided to postpone it. “Mike, you know… “Lily began, but on a second thought, refrained from saying what she was about to, as a thought crossed her mind. Meeting with the chairman was 50 /50 and she wasn't even sure if he woul

    Lily's face scrunched up in disgust as she glared at the two people standing a few meters in front of her. “What the fuck are you both doing here?!” Lily yelled, still finding it hard to believe that it was truly Andrew and Benita she was seeing. “Have you both lost your minds? Of all places, you choose to bring your stinking self's to A and U group?” she sneered, staring at the both of them condescendingly “We are actually here for a purpose Lily” Benita said calmly not quite understanding why lily was flaring up. “What stupid purpose? I know why you are here”Lily snapped, her voice laced with disdain “Really?” Benita asked, furrowing her eyebrows In confusion , as she wondered how Lily got to know about her contract with A and U. But she didn't think deeply into it, “Maybe she might have gotten the information from some other source, after all the signing process would be aired and everyone would eventually get to know about it.”She thought “Yes, you are right Lily, we are he

    “What!” Lily let out a loud shriek, her phone slipping off her hands. “What the hell just happened? Did I see clearly?” Mike asked, his eyes wide agape In shock He picked up Lily's phone and replayed the video, confirming what he just saw “This is real Lily, we got kicked out, but they allowed those bunch of trash to enter without any obstructions, impossible!”He yelled, pacing around restlessly as he muttered incoherent words under his breath.“They even bowed to them! Can you imagine?” Mike went out and on, blabbing in annoyance “Stop it Mike, stop it! don't ever play that video again, Infact give me my phone, I'm deleting it right now!” Lily said, snatching her phone from Mike's hand. She closed her eyes, deleting the video because she didn’t want to see it again, but when she opened her eyes, she realized she had pressed the wrong button, immediately the part where the guards bowed to Andrew and Benita showed, causing her to let out another ear piercing scream. She flung her

    Immediately, they all stepped back, avoiding eye contact with him. Now, they were all beginning to have pity for Andrew instead because they already believed he wasn't going to survive what was coming next. As the second in command of the most fearful and powerful underground world thug, Hunter commanded respect wherever he stepped his feet, and no one dared to touch anything or anyone from their region of the underground world which was the South Glory underground. Especially if that person wanted to remain alive. “See what you’ve done to yourself and us. Why would you dare touch him?” One of the guests complained afterwards, suddenly switching sides. “You should have just learnt how to mind your business. You don't have to interfere in whatever has nothing to do with you.” Another guest supported the other, and on and on did they go about berating Andrew for what they already considered to be a grave crime. “He is not someone of your caliber.

    Now it was evident that his plan had failed and he had to hurry with a new one or else he was going to get disgraced and probably thrown out. Morin was in a hurry to get Andrew out of the way so he could end up with Anastasia instead. He knew that with him around, and his plans involving him failing, his marriage with Anastasia was not going to go through. And by all means he needed to get married to Anastasia, even if that meant dealing with anyone who stood in his way. Justin, on the other hand, was just as restless as Morin. Since both of them had been the executioners of the evil plot, their reputation was on the line, especially now that inspector Amos had confessed. “Alright everyone,” Justin walked to stand in the middle, clapping in order to draw everyone's attention to himself. “It is now clear to us that we have made a mistake by following the false rumors which spoke I'll about our dear brother in law. So, I beg everyone to please apologize to him for speaking ill abo

    Finally, the time for the party had arrived, and the hall was bursting with activities. From people chatting away, and the low, comforting sound of music that filled the decorated hall. The servers could be seen walking around with trays of drinks and champagne in their hands. When it was time to get the party going before the main event took place, Mr. Roman walked towards the front row and drew everyone's attention with the clicking of his glass. “I must firstly thank you all for choosing to make time and come celebrate with my family. Thank you for that.” He began his statement, wearing a huge smile on his face. Everyone smiled back and patiently waited to hear more of what he had to say. “I'm sure that we're all still aware of the reason for our celebration today.” He paused for a while, the smile on his face immediately washing away while a downcasted look, one laced with pain and disappointment. “However, I'm sad to say that my heart and that of my family has been

    It was like one of those nights when the Ashton family always had enough to celebrate. It could be about their evil schemes finally coming to a sensible plot, or it could be that as usual, they were always one step ahead. They were all seated in the large and undoubtedly spacious living room, bearing smiles on their faces and gladness in their hearts. Finally, one of the family's dreams was going to come to pass. “Oh, finally.” Anastasia groaned loudly. Not the kind of groan that held any form of regret, sadness or pain. But the one filled with relief. Every member of the family seated, and who equally understood what she meant either burst into a loud laughter or chuckle. “I'm so happy for you Ana. You finally get to be free.” Her aunt Monica said, a smile of satisfaction crested on her face while she helped herself with a glass of champagne from the table. “I can't believe he really thought I was going to get married to him. Tch!” Anastasia hissed out loud, her tone and face

    “I'm going to show them just how good and useful I can be to their family if they let me get married to their daughter.” Morin couldn't just get over the obsession of Anastasia over and done with. Just as much as he saw every opportunity as a means of proving his worth, so did he see this present case of Mr Roman falling ill. Everyone was now at the Ashton family mansion, and they were all panicking, looking for a means to cure Mr Roman who couldn't be treated by other doctors they had called. No one could even take what must have made him fall ill so quickly without a warning. But they were more worried about what was going to happen to him if they didn't find any doctor who was going to heal him on time. “Let me heal him. I can do it.” Andrew volunteered, stepping forward to where Mr Roman was laid right there in his bedroom. “Have you suddenly gone nuts?” Anastasia was the first to yell at him, her eyes blazing fury with the tears trickling down her cheeks. “Do you have

    Everyone looked. It was Amik’s phone. Amik's smile spread across his face, smug and satisfied. “This has been my life lately. My phone’s always buzzing with notifications. Everyone wants a taste of me.” He laughed, the sound ringing through the room like a victory bell. “Hahaha, I must be going viral now.” He said it like it was a statement of fact, a truth he had come to accept as part of his identity. “Sadly, my PA ain’t here to check the messages. And I don’t have that kind of time,” he added, puffing out his chest, slipping the phone back into his pocket. It was a simple explanation that sounded so perfect to him. He assumed the overwhelming flood of notifications was just another reminder of his growing fame. After all, why else would his phone be buzzing so much? He was popular now. Everyone wanted a piece of him. The men around him exchanged confused glances, eyes narrowing, unsure of what they were hearing. Something didn’t sit right. Yes, Amik’s phone had been buzzing for

    Amik stood firm, his eyes locked on Andrew. “No. I won’t let him in before me,” he repeated, his voice cold, laced with an edge that cut through the tension in the room. Andrew didn’t flinch, though the words stung. He could feel the weight of Amik’s gaze, the way it stripped him down. In Jashem, money wasn’t just about wealth—it was a symbol. And what Andrew was wearing—his simple shirt, his plain jeans—had already spoken volumes to Amik. There was no way a rich man would dress like that. It was unthinkable. Amik looked him over with disgust, his eyes dismissive. “No confirmation, no special treatment. You’re just another poor man trying to get by,” Amik muttered under his breath, but loud enough for Andrew to hear. The words cut deeper than Andrew wanted to admit. His heart hammered against his ribs, the sting of being judged so quickly gnawing at him. It wasn’t just about what Amik said—it was the way he said it, the certainty in his voice. Amik had decided, without a second th
