The ten minute recess elapsed so fast, the competitors were all on their seats. "Welcome back, the decision has been made. Everybody did their possible best but only one person will be awarded the contract today. Don't give up, there are more contracts coming up. Miss Camila will come on stage to show us who will get the contract." Gilbert addressed in a calm voice, A round of applause followed the exit of his speech. Camila stood up gently from her seat and strolled out. She projected the projector on the white board. "Thank you all for having so much trust in us, everybody wants the contract to be theirs unfortunately, it can only be for one person. We looked into the last presentation and found out that humans can't decide who can fit in perfectly for the contract, so we created a website and a detector which will pick the best presentation." She paused and observed the atmosphere, all attention was all on her. "The person with the highest rate is Miss Claudia, her presentatio
The sadness in Claudia's mind disappeared when she drove into the mansion."Everybody will be proud of me, especially my grandfather." She screamed happily in the car.She opened the door and came out with a big smile. It has been a long time since she felt so happy and excited.Luckily for her, her grandfather was home already. She decided to spoil herself before going home to break the news to everyone."Good evening family." She greeted delightfully, Georgia looked at her daughter, and saw her happy mood. She started guessing what could have happened."How are you? Did you get the contract?." Georgia asked with a smile."Yes I got the contract." She shouted and jumped on her mother."Congratulations my daughter, I know you can do it and you did it. I'm so proud of you my darling." Georgia shouted and hugged her daughter tightly, they disengaged from the hug."Thank you for your trust. I was scared before prominent personalities showed up at the venue I gave up all hope but when the
"I'm sorry for coming late, I was caught up in traffic." Justin apologized as he stepped in. Moore looked up to him and dropped his glass of wine on the table. "You are pardoned." "Thank you Giovanni." He appreciated it with a wide smile and sat down. "How much did you trust Gilbert and Jedidiah?." He asked straight away. "I trust them with my life, I can do anything just to prove them right." He answered innocently, Moore looked at him intensively to check whether he was just telling a lie. "Wow, that means you have a lot of trust in them. Do you think they could betray you someday?." Moore asked again, Justin was reluctant to answer the question. "They can't betray me, why are you asking those questions?." "I think you shouldn't trust people so much especially when they can easily harm you, for example ; your niece got married to the guy who was engaged with someone when they were young and she is back to make sure the guy is hers no matter what." Moore stated and sat back wa
Moore bowed his head in weakness, he was expecting death but something in him is telling him to do something. With all the strength left in him, he stood up with a lot of force with his hands yanking off the guys from his body. They were all surprised at what he did, they weren't expecting it at all.The guy who looked like the boss walked up to him in anger. "Who do you think you are?." He asked in a deep and angry tone, his eyes became reddened, Moore scoffed, wiping off the blood on his lips. Moore was really looking for a way to get the guy to fight with him because he knew that the others will flee if their boss get beaten."I am the nightmare you will always plead not to have." Moore responded boldly, the guy bursted into laughter and pocketed his two hands."Do you know who you are standing in front of?." He asked with a deep frown."Why won't I? Are you not the guy who always go around with your men because you can't fight? I understand that you are powerless but why did you h
Claudia opened her eyes slowly the rays of light coming from the cottons struck her eyes, she closed then back immediately. She turned to the other side of the bed and open them. Just then, a strong headache hit her hard which sent her back on the bed. She placed her hand on her temple, they were boiling. "I know you will have headache after waking up, that's why I prepared you some lime juice. Trust me, it will ease the pain for a while." Moore said and walked up to her with the lime juice. "Thank you so much." She appreciated, collected and drank out of it. "You are always welcome, the next thing for you to do is to take your bath. I have prepared your favourite bath." He informed excitedly, she looked at him in surprise. "Why are you behaving so nice?." "You did well yesterday, so I decided to appreciate you this morning. Even though, I don't have a big appreciation gift, I think doing this from the depth of my heart is enough." He explained. Claudia's heart melted, the memor
Claudia halted to a stop in front of Gilbert's company. "Thank you for the ride." Moore appreciated once again. "It's nothing, I will pick you up after your closing hour." "Why have you been nice to me?." Moore asked in a surprised tone, Claudia looked at him and let out a brief smile. "If you don't like the way I am behaving towards you then I will change." "No, no, I didn't mean it that way, just trying to find out. Anyways, it doesn't matter any longer. I will be waiting for you by 5 pm." Moore rushed the words and smiled afterwards. He doesn't want her to change back to her old self. Moreover, he was enjoying the treatment she was giving to him. "Bye." She waved, Moore waved at her and came down from the car, he waited until her car was no longer in view. Moore turned to go in, all of a sudden he bumped into someone. "I'm sorry." He apologized and raised his head to look at the person. "Is that your wife?." That was the word that came out of Camila's mouth. "Yes she is.
A man seated on a wooden chair, it was the chair which could rarely be found in the modern era. "Mr Liva has submitted the files." The guy reported, he raised his hands and signaled for him to leave which he did immediately. His hair is brown in color, he has beards on his lower jaw, his face is round in shape and has dark eyes. "He dare not refuse to give that file to me, it is a pleasure working with him." He said and laughed evilly. Another guy ran in and bowed down. "Good day boss." He greeted with his head still bowed, the man (Reed) puffed out the smoke from his mouth. "Where are they?." He asked in a furious tone. "They are all fine." "Where is the guy who beat all of you up?." Reed asked. "We don't know where he is?." "What??? You don't know where he is? He beat you up and you can't even capture him?. I'm disappointed in you all. Can't believe I gathered unskilled men who can't do anything perfectly." He yelled to his face. "We are sorry boss, we will make sure he is
Claudia and Moore walked into the house with a smile on their faces, other members of the family were already seated on the sofa. They all turned when footsteps were heard."Were you waiting for us?." Claudia asked while observing everybody."Yes, this meeting was put on a hold because of you guys. Quickly take a seat and listen." Justin replied and stood up.Both of them nodded and went to sit on an empty sofa."This meeting will be holding on to the agreement my father and I made. We really talked about what has been happening after the weeks." "This family is so precious to me because it is where I was born and groomed. We agree that Claudia did the wrong thing by sleeping with Moore, which made the press take it up until everything was buried. Don't you think she deserves to be forgiven? We all need to forgive her because she has done more than what a girl in her age will do for her family. I rea...""I'm really sorry for cutting you off, don't you think she should be punished? W
Moore had sent the link of the video call to the two men they accepted."Good morning sir, I really appreciate your gesture towards me, you agreed to be of help immediately I dropped my proposal. "Your proposal was enticing and promising." Mr Grey complimented."I love how you analysed everything in a clear way, I would suggest we should meet somewhere to seal the deal with or what did you say Grey?.""I totally agree with you. Pick a date, prepare the necessary documents and inform us whenever you are ready." Grey said."Thank you sir, I will get back to you tomorrow sir, the document has been prepared but I need to cross check for any error." "Alright, see you later then." Mack said, the video call went off."Yes, I finally did it. I will get Claudia to check it out before meeting with them to ensure everything is in place." He said to himself and rolled his office chair happily.A knock was heard on the door. "Come in, he permitted." The door opened, Loveth came in."Sorry to dis
Moore came out of the bathroom with a towel tied on his waist, he stretched out and groaned. The couch he slept on aches him a lot, it persists even after taking a bath. He didn't know he would feel pains because that was his bed then.Moore tried to stretch out his body to function properly for the day's work.Claudia came out of the dressing room fully dressed in her office wear. She stopped and wanted to say something but decided against it and walked out."She is too arrogant to apologize after what she has done, it's fine. We shall see how everything will end." He muttered as he watched her leave the room.Frank looked up and saw Claudia descending from the stairs with a frown on her face, the smile on his face disappeared."Good morning Dad." She greeted and hugged him."How are you my angel?." "I'm fine Dad." She replied with a forced smile, they disengaged from the hug."You don't seem okay to me, tell me what the problem is." He said, she put up a deceiving smile."There is
Camila felt she had cried enough after almost five minutes of being in Moore's arms, by the time she pulled out his shirt was already drained in tears and sweats."Are you okay now?." He asked, she nodded and flashed a smile."Please pass me my laptop we need to get back to our discussion, we don't have much time." She said."You are one of the strongest girl on earth." He complimented while passing the laptop but she doesn't seem to go well with that."Why not the strongest girl in the world." She queried."I have three girls on my life. Mum, you and my wife so don't feel jealous because you have strong girls around." He explained in a funny way, Camila laughed at him explanation."Mum is a woman but a girl." "You are wrong, I haven't seen her in years so she is still a girl to me." Camila laughed again. "That's enough, you are really funny." She said admist of laughter."Keeping smile on my girls faces is the voluntary work I choose and love." "Awwn, that's so sweet my kid brothe
Moore woke up around 1 : 00am to get some water from the fridge, he didn't want to get it at first but the thirst was more than the normal one. Sluggishly and sleepily he dragged himself downstairs. On climbing down the stairs, he went into the kitchen, opened the fridge and brought out the water, he was pretty much awake. His eyes met with a flash drive laying on the floor in the living room. "Who could be owner of this?." He questioned and bent to pick it up. "Whosoever owns it will speak up in the morning." He said to himself and walked to his room. The next morning, Moore woke up very early to know who owns it, everybody came down and went back without showing any sign of looking for something. After waiting for an hour, he stood up and went back to sleep. His alarm clock woke him up. "Sh!t, I'm late for work." Moore cursed, jumped out of bed, adjusted his clothes, carried his briefcase which was already positioned on the bed beside him. He stormed out of the room, as he app
"Your time is up." Moore announced and looked at Camila."Each time I ask myself that question, sadly enough, I always get the same answer. Don't judge me by what I'm about to way, I still love Brooke so much but the memory of how he treated me is still fresh." She answered reluctantly."I'm not going to judge you because of your decision. Do you really want to be happy again?." "Yes I do." She answered almost immediately."Then you need to accept him back. With the way I saw him this morning, I had a feeling that he had changed, you both love each other." He tried to talk her out, tears flowed down her cheek."It hurts so much Moore, I was almost freezed to death, did little works just to survive. It was hell for me, there was a time I wanted to commit a suicide." She explained in tears."You know, revisiting the previous mistakes can cause everlasting sadness. Please, you need to accept him back into your life, I promise to be responsible for anything he will do to you." Moore stat
"How long did you plan to hide your marital life away from me?." Moore suddenly asked, Camila dropped her spoon in surprise."I'm not hiding it from you it just that the right time to talk about it is not here yet." She replied with a tint on of sadness in her tone."When did you intent to tell me then? Do you want to remain sad for the rest of your life? If you don't share your problems to me who did you want to share it to? I'm I really your brother because if truly I am then you shouldn't hesitate to tell me." He bombarded her with questions angrily, Camila felt sad by his words. They both became silent."I'm sorry please give me more time, I promise to tell you everything." "When will that be? Don't you know you are killing yourself inwardly? You ve never laughed or smiled genuinely not until today. Is that how you want to keep living your life? If you go back to that house, the only thing you will do is to cry and think, is that how it should be?." Moore slammed at her in increa
Leo suddenly raised his eyes to Gilbert. "If by tomorrow you didn't confess then you will be killed, you know me too well, that I would never go back on my words." He conditioned and made to leave but he remembered how he came, so he quickly dressed properly and headed out. "If only I didn't get into fight with him then this wouldn't have happened. How will I confess to what I didn't do?." Gilbert said in regrets. Leo got into the car, the two men who were inside the car looked around for any suspicious activity but they saw none. "Coast is clear, move." One of them commanded the driver, he ignited the engine and zoomed off almost immediately. "What are you going to do concerning the picture you took??" Derek asked Justin who was working on a file. "Just keeping it for the right time." He replied without looking at him, his concentration was fully on the file. "Don't bother about that, this is the right time for you to delete that thing. Do you even know how dangerous he is?." D
Brooke was reluctant to stand. "Get out." Moore growled in fury, it was louder and stronger than the first one. Brooke sprung up immediately."What have I done wrong? We were having a gentle and cool conversation few minutes ago." He tried to talk him out but Moore wasn't having it."Are you alright? What gave you the audacity to come into my office and talk your nonsense. You are the f**l my sister about, you are nothing but an animal." He yelled out once again, Brooke became more afraid and remorseful."I am very sor..." "I have had enough of your plead and stupid words." Moore cut him off and buzzed the security men."Please help me, I really love your sister." "No you don't, if you really do then you wouldn't have taken the children there and also send her out of the house. You are very wicked and I won't ever forgive you." "Please don't treat me the way I behaved. Don't think I didn't do anything before resulting to you. She always broke the lines I used in calling her but sti
"Are you serious?." Moore asked in shock."Yes, she must have told you about me but please I would love to explain myself." Brooke quickly cut in before he could speak further."Oh I see, to begin with. How did you get to know I was close to her? Who do you think I am to her? How did you even get to know me?." Moore asked curiously. Although, he shouldn't be curious but the fact that nobody knew there were siblings baffles him."I saw you both countless times, one day I heard her call you her little brother and I strongly believe that you can help us solve the pending problem." Brooke answered truthfully."Have you been spying on us?." "I'm sorry but I have been spying on both of you." He confessed, Moore chuckled."I love truthfully people. You can now go on with what you are here for and make sure you didn't leave out anything, and if you do there is a severe punishment for it." He permitted bad warned while sitting back to make sure he missed anything."I got married to Camila wh
