"Easy, lass. Pardon my manners, I'm Larry Conrad and something about you seemed to pique my interest." The man called Larry used his hand to support his jaw as he gazed deep into Liana's eyes making the latter uncomfortable."That doesn't explain your actions yesterday and I can sue you for it." Liana cleared her throat in other to speak well, avoiding his gaze.Larry couldn't help but laugh. "Your husband called the cops on me and I slept in their custody, although I wasn't arrested.""Hmm, please go on with your meal, you're making me uncomfortable." Liana gestured for him to continue eating as she didn't spare him a glance until she was done with hers.She caught him staring at her and she couldn't help but stare back. The markings on his face, the scars, and the mark between his right eye seemed he had gone through so much pain that piqued her curiosity."I wouldn't stare too much if I were you," Larry smirked."I didn't mean to, it's just that you have too many scars on your face
Coldie's words sank in Chris's head. If he was indeed the only male in Chairman Conrad's generation then he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders."In that case, females can't be the heir, right?" Chris asked, raising his brow at the man who stood in front of him.Coldie nodded in response. "Females can be the heir but the responsibilities that fear to bear.""Oh!" A gasp escaped his lips as he nodded knowingly."I know everything came too soon that's why the chairman wants you to take things easy. He'll be showing you to the higher-ups of RIC CORPORATION next week so be ready." Coldie informed with his gaze lowered.Chris's eyes were fixed on the empty swing beside him. He examined the wooden sit and found a name carved on it making him come down from the swing to examine the other side of it and the name carved on it."I found something," Chris said as he gestured to Coldie to take a look. Chris blew the dust out of the wooden seat and dusted it with his hands and the name beca
At Chairman Conrad's study room, Coldie opened the oak door and found the Chairman arranging some documents and handing them over to his secretary who he instructed should send the documents to the higher-ups at the RIC CORPORATION. Coldie exchanged bows with the secretary who left to carry out his task."Cosmos, you're here." Chairman Conrad's gaze locked with Coldie as he gestured for him to sit opposite him."Sir, there's something I wanna discuss with you," Coldie said with a stern voice as he adjusted the chair opposite the chairman to sit."Is it an urgent situation or about my grandson?" Asked the chairman.Coldie clasped his hand on his Chairman's desk. "Sir, I had a brief discussion with the young master.""And?""And, it's about the youngest deceased mistress."The chairman heaved a sigh as he stood up from his seat. Coldie knew the discussion was going to be sensitive and it wouldn't make it any easy for the chairman to forget about his deceased daughter and everything he h
Christopher's eyes darted sternly on the paper, his hands were trembling as tears fell endlessly from his eye rolling on his cheeks with drops staining the paper.The letter says;MY CHILD, I KNOW I WON'T BE ALIVE WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE READING THIS. AND I'M CERTAIN MY FATHER HAS ALREADY TAKEN YOU WITH HIM, BECAUSE I KNOW FOR SURE HE'S DEFINITELY GOING TO FIND YOU. DON'T BE FOOLED BY MY FATHER. HE USES MONEY TO BUY PEOPLE AND YOU MUST HAVE SUFFERED FROM HUMILIATION OF HOW POOR YOU WERE BEFORE HE FOUND YOU AND BOUGHT YOUR DESIRES FOR MONEY. YOU MUST HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW I WAS BEING DISOWNED BECAUSE I CHOSE MY HEART INSTEAD OF MONEY. FOLLOW YOUR HEART, MY CHILD EVEN WHEN TYE NEED ARISES, BE SURE TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART. REST ASSURED, I WOULD DIE WITH HATRED IN MY HEART AND I HOPE YOU FIGHT FOR WHAT IS YOURS EVEN FOR WHAT'S NOT YOURS, FIGHT FOR IT. BE STRONG MY CHILD, MY FATHER DOESN'T DESERVE PEACE OR DESERVE TO BE ALIVE. HE'LL FIND HIS DEATH BY HIMSELF EVEN THOUGH YOU WON'T BE THE ONE T
"Ma'am, we're so sorry for the damages we caused and I'm glad it's just a scratch," Coldie said to the woman they bumped into as she didn't seem to take Coldie's words lightly."Just a scratch?" The woman scoffed as she placed her hand on her waist, gazing into Coldie's eyes with a disgusted look on her face. "You need to compensate me for this and this isn't just a scratch and all thanks to you, my tire had flattened even before I got to see the mechanic."Coldie examined the woman's car and noticed her car was somehow worth it and her tire had indeed flattened. "I'll compensate you for that.""Compensate her for what?" Chris came out of the car, a scowl look plastered on his face as he came face to face with thei stunned woman and stood beside Coldie."Young master, her tire seemed to be flattened and we left a scratch at the front of her car," Coldie explained but his explanation fell on deaf ears. He noticed the chemistry between the duo who couldn't stop staring at each other and
Liana arrived at her house, slamming the door of her car as she hurriedly got inside the house which seemed empty she sat on the couch, removed the cheque from her purse resumed staring at it."Isn't life unfair? Useless Chris gave me a cheque of five million dollars." She muttered, heaving a sigh.Richard, however, came out from the kitchen and found his wife staring at something he was curious to know. He leaned closer to her and found her holding onto a chequebook as if her life depended on it. "Five million dollars!?" He exclaimed.Liana was startled and almost got a heart attack from immersing in shock. "Fuck you, Richard. You startled the hell out of me." She said with a deep frown on her face."Who the hell gave you a cheque of five million dollars?" Richard ignored her yells with undivided attention between him and the cheque she was holding.Seeing that his curiosity was lingering on the cheque, Liana smirked. "I got myself a new lover, you see.""You wouldn't dare." Richard
Larry was fascinated by how Liana kept mentioning the fact that she wanted her ex back to the extent she told him about how they started dating to the point he was revealed to be their heir to a multimillion-dollar fortune."So disheartening." She concluded with a sigh."You sound like a real golddigger," Larry said firmly. "Your ex-boyfriend is one of a kind and guess what?""What?""He's gonna make you pay for everything you've done to him in the past," Larry said, placing another drink in his glass.Liana couldn't help but get angry at Larry's words. "I know I made mistakes but mistakes can be forgiven right?""Yours can't be forgiven dear and as for your husband, he seems to have lost interest in you according to what you told me, you're alone in this world." He said before helping down another glass as he exhaled in satisfaction."Hello, he gave me a cheque of five million when I demanded just two million. Can't you tell he still has feelings for me?""I can't tell because he see
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y'ALL READERS!!! THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I'M WISHING Y'ALL A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!Liana stormed inside her house with a man angry look plastered on her face. She walked straight to the bedroom, ignoring her maid's greeting as she found her husband getting dressed for an occasion best known to him."Where are you going?" She asked in curiosity as he tossed her back on the other side of the bed.Richard glanced at her sternly, "Do you think I'm jobless?""But I thought you guys were on holiday." "Well, the holidays are over," Richard said finally, as he grabbed his suitcase and left the bedroom, leaving Liana all alone as she threw a pillow at the door in frustration."He didn't even look me in the eyes or ask me where in coming from." She muttered angrily. Liana thought about the almost perfect life she thought she had after ditching Chris for Richard who seemed to be overly obsessed with her and showered her with all the love and care in the world but after m
