“What?!”The wind stopped blowing in their direction as the atmosphere around them became dead silent for a moment.With a confused look on his face, Richard slowly walked up to where Christopher stood “Christopher , do you realise what you’re saying?!”“Yes Richard, weren’t you informed earlier on about the anticipated arrival of your boss this morning?”“No way…….”“The Heir of The Chin Chain Consortium……..Is really you?!”“Correct!”Richard’s mind travelled back to the time when Christopher’s name was announced on the night of that business meeting party as the new Heir to the one and only Chin Chain Consortium.The biggest and the best within and beyond the fore walls of Midland City.Was it actually true?“But…..But I thought it was all a lie…….”“A well scripted scheme……”“How did all this happen?…..When?”Upon the shocking realisation he had just met, Richard became even more and more confused by the minute.All of this seemed so unbelievable to him but the truth was in plain s
“Please take down his details and show him his way around his duties”“Yes Mr. Christopher ”And just like that, Richard got a new job.Christopher walked out of the office and proceeded to make his way out of the building, his work for the day was finally over.“So Mr. Richard, I’ll need you to fill in these…... .Please hold on” Richard abruptly interrupted the man in the office as he hurriedly made his way out of the place.Just as Christopher was about to use the main exit, he heard someone calling out to him.“Christopher ! Christopher !”Christopher could instantly tell that the voice belonged to none other than Richard especially since he was the only person who referred to him as Christopher .Nobody else in the office would dare to.“Yes Richard, is there a problem?”“Thank you…….I just wanted to thank you”“I feel so terrible, over the past few years, I’ve been nothing but cruel to you.”Richard was close to tears as he expressed his gratitude towards Christopher “How do I ev
CHAPTER 116Christopher was surprised by how horrified she looked. It was clear that whatever was going on in her mind regarding Mary must have brought her terrible traumas."I just need big information regarding her whereabouts. I need to understand that she is okay." Christopher lied through his teeth. He noticed the woman looking everywhere and then leaned forward to his side, apparently with the intent to tell him something. "Mary was a crazy girl. When we discovered an anomaly with her, we had to transfer her to the hospital, where she was given a therapist to stay with." Christopher froze for a second. All thoughts about Mary flying through the course of his head.It was no wonder she acted strange. He thought to himself."Can I know where this therapist lives?" Christopher asked, and almost immediately, the woman pulled her phone out, looked through the contact, and handed it over to him."That's her number." She revealed this, and Christopher copied the contact information o
CHAPTER 117Christopher couldn't take any of what the therapist was saying to him any longer. He wanted to be away from that place; he needed to reach out to his wife. "I will, uh, I will be on my way." He announced, got up, and left the room, even as the therapist wished to explain something to him.As he pulled into his car, he tried ringing Mia's line, but it wasn't going through, and the moment he turned on the ignition of his car, he heard a beep on the phone and checked through. He gasped the moment he noticed Mia on the bed, all asleep.It wasn't something bad, but the reality that it was an anonymous individual who had taken that photo horrified him. There was only one person who could pull such a thing, and that was Mary.Christopher drove through the road like a raging bull. If anything happened to Mia, he was willing to find Mary and kill her. When he arrived at his apartment, Christopher got out of the vehicle and rushed to the house, yelling out Mia's name. The moment h
Meanwhile, at the company, Mia was simmering as she flipped through the pages of one of the stockpile of documents waiting to be reviewed before the next one. That was why she was scared, instead of being happy. When she has been promoted by her boss to be his secretary. She had experienced a mild sense of grief with it because, it felt like she had been trapped before she could tell her boss how she felt. He was a workaholic who didn't give a hoot about his employees, well, unless they broke down due to stress.“God, for how long will I keep doing this?” She cried out in frustration.That was why she flared up as she gazed vacantly across the room, the file she was carrying suspended on the air. She knew that she was slowly approaching breaking point.An approaching footsteps drew her back to reality. She hastened what she was doing, knowing that she would be in for serious trouble if he caught her not doing anything. At some point she was able to drift along and rest, but that was
She overlooked, as she had always hung on to his every word, since he did not want their relationship to end. She had done everything to make him stay, and for him to know that she truly loved him. Not only that, but she took care of everything he wanted without asking for anything in return. All she wanted was him and him alone. At least she also had the opportunity to repay him for everything he had done for her before his financial ability took a U-turn. But she feared that he wasn't concerned about his situation anymore. And instead, he was becoming more relaxed about it and saw her as the fountain of money that never lacked. Worse still, something deep down told her that he wasn't loyal. She has to trust her man, right?“I love you.” Those words he says so easily, but, are they really true.But she was also afraid to say that to him because he flared up the last time she tried to discuss that with him. He had threatened to leave her if she ever brought up the discussion again.
Ms. Ella wanted to ask him what he wanted to do with a sub-company when she remembered that she was only supposed to follow instructions and not ask stupid questions.Martinez didn't know what was coming at him and he definitely wasn't prepared for it.Christopher ran some investigations on Martinez 's company, making some enquiries to find out their weaknesses, any setbacks they were experiencing and recognise any loopholes that had .Back at school, an all white Range Rover pulled into the parking space.Martinez alighted from his car and shut the door hard stepping out with a tight frown that spread across his entire face.With his car keys in his left hand, he squeezed his right palm into a tight fist and launched a punch into the air"Dammit" clenching his teeth, he muttered under his breath.Martinez had a habit of expressing rage whenever little things didn't seem to be going his way.He took his bag from the car and hung it on his right shoulder, putting his car keys in his po
The rest of the board members finally started to come downstairs after a long chatter.To avoid any form of contact with anyone else, Martinez walked straight out of the building into his car and drove off straight to his Father’s place.He angrily muttered words to himself as he approached the mighty gate that fenced the white coloured mansion.He honked twice before a gatekeeper opened the gate for him as he drove through.He stormed into the house ignoring the greetings of the domestic workers.“Dad! Dad! Dad!” Martinez called out as he searched from room to room before one of the domestic workers walked in and told him that his father was in the garden.“Why didn't you say so before? '' Martinez turned to her as he spoke harshly with a raised voice.She rolled her eyes when she turned back to walk away.The domestic workers in his fathers house were already used to his attitude by now. Martinez was rude and very demanding. He had no iota of respect for anybody that seemed lower th
