“What do you mean you failed to get the shares? I thought you were good at those things. What the hell is wrong with you people? This is what I get for working with someone like you?” Revoc scolded as he paced up and down. Mateo and Pit sat at the table. Looking down, trying to avoid Revoc’s look. “Aren’t you supposed to be nice to him or something? I don’t really get your relationship, you two. He took you in when no one wanted you. He was the one that took care of you when your father was killed and yet you treat him like trash. I know we are working for you. But you can be nice to us for once,” Pit spoke. Before he knew it, he was flying across the room. Slammed the wall and fall flat on his stomach. He straggled back up with a groan. “Don’t ever tell me what to do, you idiot. I will do whatever I want to do to anyone. The way I treat him has nothing to do with you. Just worry about getting the woman you have failed to get from your friend. You call yourself a man? And yet you h
I stood there looking at her. She looked madly at me. But was the one that should be doing that. But I just walked to her and took my sit next to her. “I went to see Hope. I needed to talk to him after I talked to Joseph,” I told her.“You could have said something about it. You have been gone for hours. It’s almost dark outside. I was worried something bad might have happened to you. And we talked about this, didn’t we?” she asked.“We did. And I’m sorry. I just needed to talk to him very badly, and I didn’t have time to look for you at the time. Next time I will try harder,” I said and forced a smile on my face.“Did it go that bad?” she asked.I sighed and took her hand, “Well, kind of. Not much. He said he was sorry, and he was scared I was going to be disappointed in him. He was scared of what might have happened if he told me. He didn’t know how to tell me the truth,” I explained to her.“And what did you tell him?” She asked.“That he should have told me the truth. I’m his frie
The pep talk Maria gave me wasn’t helping in any way. I mean, after I talked to Joseph for the first time about these issues, I pretended to be cool with it. I told him I have forgiven him and that we were cool. When inside, I was burning. When inside, I wanted to punch him in the face.I knocked, and he answered me in; I pushed the door opened and found him sitting on the bed.“Justine, where have you been, I haven’t seen you around for a while?” He asked as he smiled at me.I just walked to him and punched him in the face. So hard he slapped the bed. He got up and looked at me. Surprised to why I would do such a thing. But it felt so nice to finally get it out of my chest. I felt relieved.“Why the hell would you do that for?” He asked, touching his cheek.I sighed and sat next to him, “it felt nice getting that out of my chest. Do you remember when I said we were good after you told me what you have done?” He nodded. “We weren’t. I just wanted to punch you in the face, but was scar
I waited for him to tell me what I wanted to hear from him. But he was still been adamant about it all. And Roland refused to be a part of it. He was not saying anything that Carl wasn’t allowing him to tell me. Which made me curious even more. I wanted to help the cat. But in a way to understand why my parents allowed a cat in my life. Why him of everything in the world?And I was scared of what I might find as well. Because what I was thinking might be the reason for what they did is something that might break me and Carl up. Something that might change the way I look at my parents.When it came to my protection, they had poor judgment. They will do about anything as long as it meant I was gonna be safe. They would kill even if it was what it takes for me to stay safe after they are gone. That is my parents for you.I sighed as I looked at him, then Roland. Coming to terms, they will not tell me a word. But there was someone that will do about anything to tell me what I needed to kn
The day happened to be the craziest, apparently. Filled with nothing but drama from everyone around me. But the most important thing right now I wanted to find out what happened to Carl’s parents. Why he thinks they left him behind? That they didn’t love him in any way.Yes, that might be true. They might be shitty parents and we can’t do anything about that. And me finding them and allowing Carl to listen to them telling him that would be a problem on its own. And he might hate me for bringing back what he has long forgotten.But again there is a thing of everything been different from he thinks. Things might not always be what they look like. They might be a different story behind it all. And that story is making me worry at some point. I mean, what if I find out my parents did something insane to get Carl? All because they wanted to keep me safe in the future.So, in all scenarios, they were something threatening coming along with it. But I can’t just stay because I’m scared of wha
“Please take it easy on her. I know what she did was wrong and what she was trying to do is equally wrong. But let’s not forget, she is my grandmother. And I know what she did to Suzen was just proving your point, but take it easy on her,” Maria spoke as she helped me with my tie.I didn’t even know what to tell her, because what I was planning in my head weren’t good things. They all contained things that will hurt me or anyone involved one way or the other, and that was just how things will turn out. I can’t change it.And I know what she has planned for me isn’t good. I can feel something isn’t right. All my secretaries at the wine company told me she was there, and she was causing a scene. That she wanted to speak to me and I should go there. As soon as possible.She even had the audacity to sit in my office. Claiming it to be hers. I don’t know what she wanted from me. But I was surely going to put her in her place. To make sure she goes down this time for good.“You came home no
“What the hell do you think you are doing coming here to my company and causing a scene? Even calling a board meeting. I know you are the grandmother to my wife, but I will forget that. You are sitting in my chair,” I said as I reached her.She looked up at me, then at the surrounding people. Smiling. Then she took a paper from the table and handed it to me. I looked at the paper, then at everyone — they all seemed to have the same one. But none of them was willing to tell me what was going onI looked at the paper and my eyes widened at what was written on it. I shook my head and blinked a couple of times. But it was still there. Smiling back at me.I looked at Mubanga as she walked to me. Then I handed her the papers because I didn’t even know how to better explain what was happening. What was written on it.I looked at everyone, and they all wore sad faces. Looking at me with all the sadness. But she was smiling, and she almost burst out laughing at my paranoid.This has to be a jo
As always, it is an honor meeting someone my parents told to look after me. Someone they might have helped, in a way that the person will do anything they tell him or her to do. That were my parents. And I love them for that.She told me about her. And she was true to her name, as always. She helped with things dream related. But she was on vacation or something like that. Somehow, she knew I will need her. And here she was.Then she told me about how helpful my parents were to her. How they helped her fight someone that wanted her job. Her twin sister Nightmare. And ever since that time, she hasn’t bothered her at all. She has been leaving peacefully, and she owes that to my parents.And something about her caught my attention. The way she was addressing Roland. Like she hurts the man or something. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the case even.“You need to go home, Justine. We are closing,” Pain said.After I left the company, I decided to come to them and not go home. I need
