After saying her final words, grandmother walked out of the study with a grimace.Everyone was anxious except for Frank.They all noticed the sudden change of power and presumably, status in the family. They have been kissing Mark's ass all this while only because they knew he might become the CEO and future head of the family but now he's standing on the edge, one step away from losing everything he has and they started having a second thought about their allegiance to him."I can't believe this happened. Did you clearly hear what grandmother said, Mark?" Clara asked, astonished and chuckled in disbelief when Mark didn't utter a word in response to her question."Grandmother is damn serious," Tasha said, cracking her knuckles as her eyes moved around the room."Hell yes, she is. Didn't you see the strong expression she had? I'm sure she's not going back on her word if the contract is eventually terminated," Phoenix said."I'm certain grandmother meant everything she said," Mark final
Mark went insane in astonishment. He paced to and fro in his office, perplexed. He couldn't believe a seemingly loser like Feran could have the effrontery to just hang up on him. "Babe, how dare that worthless live-in son-in-law, Feran, be so bold to hang up on you?" His girlfriend asked, bewildered.She was also astonished when she walked into Mark talking to Feran and became speechless when she learnt from Mark that Feran hung up on him."I think he just gathered the audacity to hang up on you after talking nonsense because you weren't in front of him. I'm certain he wouldn't have dared to go against your wish if you were seeing him.""I will see to his brazenness later," Mark said and sent a text message to Damon, requesting he come to meet as soon as he could."You look worried, Mark. Let's go have a drink. I'm going to cheer you up," his girlfriend offered, caressing his face."Get your hands off me," Mark flinched."I'm in no mood for a drink. I need to solve my problem," Mark
Mark regained himself and straightened up, acting like the blow he just received from Feran was nothing."Feran, I need to see Laura. Go inform her about our arrival," he said, staring straight into Feran's unwavering eyes.Seeing Feran didn't utter a word or made a move to go get Laura, Mark attempted to go in but Feran held up a hand, stopping him."Didn't you come here to beg for help?" Feran asked, making Damon's jaw drop.He was appalled that Mark could think of coming over to seek Laura's forgiveness.Starting to see the disappointing look which was expanding on Damon's face, Mark smirked at Feran."Beg? Me? You've got to be kidding me," Mark shrugged."There you go. You're damn egocentric," Mark spat. He hated the way Mark still puffed with pride even on the verge of sliding down the cliff if Laura didn't help him out. One thing was certain for him, he was going to make Mark so do the needful."Look, I know you badly need my wife, Laura's help, so you better start acting like o
Laura didn't utter a word of objection nor did she affirm what her mother said for she didn't want to divorce Feran. She's been married to him for a few years now and he's been nothing but good to get despite her entire family treating him like a piece of garbage.If only she could tell her mother that she hit the deal because of Feran's involvement and was dependent on his help but she couldn't bring herself to do that. Feran already asked her not to."Mom, you think Feran is utterly useless?" She asked instead.Mitchel nodded and chuckled."Don't tell me you doubt that, Laura."Laura sighed, looking away without saying a word for a minute."Mom," she said, returning her gaze to her mother."Yes?""Give him a year, please. And you're going to see the changed him," Laura requested.Mitchel opened her mouth to say something but couldn't find any words to utter. She still had doubts that Feran was going to change but she silently agreed to her daughter's request."But, Laura. Why do as
When Feran stepped out of the bathroom later in the night, he met Laura awake. He seldom finds her awake by that time so seeing her lost in thoughts in the middle of the night threw him off."Uh, are you okay?" He asked, walking up to the bed with a concerned expression."Yeah. I'm good. I just woke up and I really don't feel sleepy right now," Laura said, sliding out her legs from beneath the blanket."You seem bothered. What's wrong?" He asked. Laura stared at him for a while and shook her head. She was actually thinking about what her mother had said earlier regarding Feran and her ( Mitchel's) wish for her to divorce him. "Nothing is wrong?" Feran asked again, expecting she could say something."Hm. Yeah. I've just been thinking lately, Feran,* she said."Thinking about what?""Your family," Laura muttered. Feran's jaw tightened hearing that. "Oh. So, what about them?" Feran asked dumbly."Where are they? Who are they?" Laura asked, wishing he could give answers to her questions
The manager was totally dumbfounded by Feran's quest and didn't utter a word for some seconds."Sir, the money given by your family, the Anderson's to you was for running the company and business usage only," the manager reluctantly said after regaining his voice."And you've got no right to move it and buy assets for your own purpose. I'm sorry," he added. Expecting Feran to get a bit upset or try to find another way of achieving his aim, the manager was dazed when a smile appeared on Feran's face.Feran, seeing how stunned the manager was by not seeing him down in the mouth, he widened his smile and drew out a card from his pocket."I've always known a day like this would come. And for long, I've alway knew my brother, Vicentzo would someday be in charge of the family business so I had to prepare myself for times like this,"Feran said. His facial expression went sour as his mind flashed back to one certain day he loathed. **** **** ****Feran just got into highschool then an
As presumed by Frank, Mark returned to the mansion the next day and told grandmother all that happened. She couldn't believe what he said."I'm saying nothing but the truth grandmother. That worthless piece of rag, Feran said you should come over yourself since you …" Mark went shut when ma'am Miguel raised up her hand when he tried to convince her to believe him."You know it's solely your fault. Things got messy all because of you, Mark," ma'am Miguel accused, trying not to flare up at him. "I'm sorry, grandmother. I actually went over to see Laura to resolve this issue but…" ma'am Miguel shunned him again by lifting up her hand and she sent him away. She was stunned after hearing what Mark told her that Feran said. She sat in the living room and slidded into deep thoughts.She felt a pang of hatred for Feran and regretted why she hadn't take a serious action to cast him away from the family since he became a part of the family. While she was still in dero thoughts, a maidservant
Feran wasn't impressed by grandmother's threat. A grin exposed her set of white teeth knowing how affected Feran was by her words which sounded like a threat to him."Grandmother, I know the risk of riling you but I'm not bent on doing that. I know you could do what you just said. But it would also cause you a great loss to Miguel family, your family. So, I'm sure you wouldn't just throw the deal with F.A Globe company to get back at Laura's family. I just want you to take Laura seriously, that's all. And if I offended you in any way, I'll apologize," Feran said. Ma'am Miguel's sudden grin became deeper. She knew Laura's parents weren't capable of thinking of any way to piss her off for their mere gratification and neither would they dare to pull off this shit, so it must all be Feran's idea. He is the brain box behind it.She decided not to say anything much but simply smiled and asked:"Where's my granddaughter, Laura?"At that moment, Feran's phone rang. It was Laura calling. He p
