On a cool Friday evening, Chris walked out through the doors of the building of the multi million dollar company, GLAM where he worked, carrying a trashcan in his hand, and down the deserted Sanders Street. Chris Bolton had worked there as a mere cleaner for three whole years and it didn't matter to him that the owner of the company was no other than his beautiful wife and daughter of billionaire business tycoon, Mabel Sanders. Chris had always been a hardworking and independent man who preferred to work hard for his own money rather than stay idle because his wife was a billionaire.On that faithful evening, Chris seemed to be the happiest man in the world. He wore a smile on his face as he struggled with the over filled thrash can and almost bumped into a beautiful lady trying to make her way through the door."Watch where you're going, you dumb and dirty looking peasant!" She screamed, as her eyes scanned him from head to toe."You should be ashamed of yourself!" She ranted on. "A
Chris Bolton could not believe his eyes. What the hell was going on? Who the hell was that man and what had given him the boldness to kiss Mabel Sanders?"I think you're making a huge mistake!" Chris blurted out. "A mistake that would cost your freedom for the rest of your life! That woman is Mabel Sanders, my wife and the daughter of billionaire business tycoon, Marcus Sanders."The blonde man planted a kiss on Mabel's neck and chuckled lightly."I thought you said he was a boring little peasant," He muttered in her ears. "This man right here has the right charisma to be a stand-up comedian!"Mabel laughed to his joke and started moaning again as he resumed kissing her neck."Arthur..." She moaned. "Right there."The name registered in Chris' memory immediately - Arthur. He was definitely going to find out who the bastard was and how he had turned his darling Mabel against him."Hope he's still watching?" Arthur grunted as he began to undress Mabel fully."Yes sir," the burly men rep
After about thirty minutes of driving, the men dumped Chris in front of a hospital and zoomed off in the black van they had come with. Chris was still conscious on the floor, but he had lost a lot of blood already, and he could barely move a bone. He remained on the floor, waiting and hoping for a saviour to come to his rescue, but none was forthcoming. Unable to bear the throbbing pain in his leg, he passed out. Chris woke up about three hours later to the sound of machines beeping and whirring. He stared at the pure white walls of the room he was in and immediately, he realized that he was in the hospital. A drip was connected to his left hand and his left leg which Arthur's men had shot, was now bandaged. Chris tried to move his leg and noticed that he didn't even feel any pain. He stared up at the machines surrounding him and he wondered who had taken him to such an expensive and sophisticated hospital. There was no way he was going to be able to pay the bills for such a place a
Chris Bolton could barely contain the excitement he felt. In the less than ten minutes that Greg left him to wait for his father, he had paced about the room over a hundred times.Thousands of questions flooded through his mind in that moment. Was his father really the owner of this mansion? If that was true, did that mean that he was actually rich and not poor? Chris kept on repeating the same questions over and over again to himself until finally, the door to the room creaked open.Chris spun around at once and the moment their eyes met, he knew it was his father, Michael Bolton. Michael walked up to his son, Chris and the pair stared each other down for the better part of a minute without saying a word. The resemblance was clear - the same ink black and curly hair, the same grey eyes, well chiseled jawline, taut arms and long legs. Chris was a spitting image of his father, Michael."Son?" Michael muttered. "Is this really you?"He reached for Chris' cheek but the latter shifted bac
On Monday morning, as early as 8 a.m. Chris was already seated outside the office of the CEO of NEXON CORPORATIONS, Arthur McDoyle. Over the weekend, he had the chance to browse through the internet for more details about the company, and he had found out that the multi million dollar company was mainly involved in the production of jewelry. Chris stared in awe at the magnificent building and the sight of each well furnished office when a door opened amazed him. Was all this really his? Or was life playing some kind of sick joke on him as usual? Chris felt his confidence dwindle over time as well dressed employees began trooping in more. It was already close to an hour later than resumption time, and some of the offices were still locked, meaning that those who worked there had not shown up yet. Chris quickly concluded that Arthur was doing a terrible job.He waited on patiently, and sometime around 9, a woman sauntered over to where he sat."Arthur in?" She asked, without even spari
Chris settled down on the arm chair at a far corner of Arthur's office. His legs were crossed and his eyes scanned the perimeter quickly."Are - are - you sure you don't want to sit right here?" Arthur asked, pointing at his executive chair. "I'm good here, Arthur, thank you," Chris replied with a smile. "You're still the CEO of NEXUS. You told me that a few days ago, remember?"Arthur heaved a deep sigh and his fingers tapped against the wooden table. His heart was pounding in his chest as he thought of the best way to get himself out of the mess he had just entered."Okay, I'm really sorry, man," Arthur croaked. He lowered his gaze to meet Chris and he swallowed hard."I'm sorry you had to watch what happened between Mabel and I. It was - ""That's not why I'm here, Arthur McDoyle," Chris replied and straightened up. He waved a file in Arthur's face and dropped it on the table before them."This is why I'm here."Arthur stared at the file on the table. His heart was pounding in h
It was barely eleven a.m. and Mabel Sanders was already having a terrible day. The heater had suddenly stopped working, and she was freezing now, the maid that was supposed to prepare her clothes for her meeting had burnt them, and worst of all, her father, Marcus Sanders, was on his way home.Mabel literally dreaded Marcus' presence. He was a monster to her. He had always been one, and their already strained relationship had gotten worse when she forced that deadbeat piece of thrash, Chris Bolton, on her. How could any billionaire in his right senses want his daughter to get married to such a broke man like Chris? Mabel was convinced that her father hated her.And now, he was back. He had been away for seven whole months on a business trip, but he was back suddenly, just three days after her third wedding anniversary with Chris. Mabel knew that her father's sudden appearance was in a way related to her anniversary, and she had no plans of hearing what he wanted to say. She needed to
Mabel could not believe her eyes. Standing before her in the head office of one of the biggest establishments in the world was her own ex husband, Chris Bolton, the very man she had shamed for the past 3 years because he was broke.How the hell he had managed to afford such an expensive suit, and what he was doing in there, Mabel had no idea. All she knew was that he was there, and he definitely looked better off than she had ever seen him."Where's Arthur?" Mabel asked, as she eyed Chris. "And what are you doing in here?"Her voice remained cold but Chris could tell that she was still very much surprised."Arthur is regrettably not available at the moment and so you would have to answer to me," Chris replied with a smile. "Please have your seat.""Report to you?" Mabel snarled, completely losing her cool. "Tell me, Chris. Who exactly do you think you are?"I heaved a deep sigh and slowly walked over to the executive chair in the room. I sat down and faced Mabel who was still surpris
