It was morning. Today was the deadline, given to those who destroyed his family. He had instructed that all those who were still alive should take their lives by hanging, but they refused. Rieka woke up, well-dressed and ready to go to the office. “Aren't you ready? You have to drive me to the office.” “Yeah, but my stomach has been hurting me and I don't know what's wrong.” Noah said. Rieka drew closer to him. “I will drive myself to the office or I'll call my official driver. Would you like to visit the hospital? Maybe you ate a lot last night and the food didn't digest well.” “I don't have to go to the hospital, I'll stay back home and rest.” “If you insist, if you need anything, give me a call.” Rieka spoke. She smiled. “See you later in the day. Next, Noah did all the chores and ensured the house was clean. Since he was the only one left at home, he lit a cigarette and smoked. Just then, he got a call from Andy. “General, the heads of Ariel, Swelvys, and some member
The men of the first-class families expected the survivor of the Kendricks to be a powerful and influential person. They say him as a man full of words and no action.One even said he was able to kill Silas Grichy and Senior Grichy because he caught them by surprise.Noah went to his knees before Junior Kendrick. “I promise to make up for the suffering they've inflicted on you. I am your Uncle, Noah.”“Don’t try to act smart!”Jerry warned.“I'm scared. I might not survive this.”Noah was heartbroken, Junior must have been tortured.Suddenly, Andy whistled. Apart from Noah, everyone's attention was diverted to him.“How dare you? What was that for?”A voice rang out from their midst.Suddenly, they saw an army rising from the bushes. They had used the leaves for camouflage.“The army? What's going on?”Everyone grew tense including Jerry Austin and Benny Jinks.About a thousand armies had covered the whole place.Noah didn't expect Andy would pull so many armies for an issue he thoug
Junior Kendrick took a deep breath. “Are you truly my uncle?” “Yes, I am! But you have to tell me more about yourself.” Noah folded his arms to pay full attention. “My mother's name is Lucy. She said she met my father outside the country. Under the influence of alcohol, they got intimate. After that night, she never saw him again. She decided to keep the child and it was me. After some time, she saw his image on a TV channel and then got his social media handle and they got talking. He made it known to her that he couldn't come and check on me because some people are after the lives of his family. He didn't want to put my life in danger.” “Hmm!” Noah sighed. “Did he mention the people who were after his family?” “Not really. According to my Mom, he mentioned the Trio Alliance.” Trio Alliance? Noah had never heard of such. “Where is your Mom? How old are you?” “When those men came to capture me, my Mom struggled with them and she was killed in the process. I am twelve years
“Gad relax! We'll get to the root of this!” Jack assured him. Gad nodded. Soon everyone dispersed except for Gad and Kendra. Kendra scanned the environment and gave Gad a devious stare. Gad winked at her and they both had a happy expression. Then Gad whispered. “Everyone trusts Rieka. Yes, she was the third party that was aware of the money but everyone knows she won't steal it. This might lead to something bigger than we could imagine.” “Trust me nothing would happen. Rieka and her family now see themselves as a god. She's working with Top Notch company and her brother now works with Ms. Cynthia. They should no longer receive anything from the family business. With these, our share of the family business would increase.” “Hmph!” Gad heaved in agreement. “It's just a little game with Rieka, she'd be fine. With this, Grandpa would have more trust in us.” Kendra smiled. After plotting their schemes well, later in the night, Gad approached Senior Fullams. “We've found the mo
“I didn't say it because I am annoyed. I've been telling you for ages but you chose to pay deaf ears.”Lois replied. “Dad, the first step is to believe that the plans will work. Although I know that starting a business is not as easy as it sounds.” Said Dave.“True!” Noah shook his head slightly. “Dave, with your current work and relationship with Ms. Cynthia it would help in starting the business. And you Rieka, you have worked with Brucy Kings in his company for sometime now. With your experience and the caliber of people you now know, take for instance Aria, it would be so easy for you to start your own business.”“Hmm!”Jack seemed to agree with Noah.“Jack, we just have to try our best. Taking the risk is better than not trying at all.”Lois encouraged him.“What business do you have in mind?”Jack asked.“Pharmaceuticals!”Dave and Noah chorused.“What? Do you know the number of pharmaceutical companies in this city? The competition is very high. How would we meet up with those
“Alright!”Rieka replied.Suddenly, a man barged in.The man seemed to be in his early forties. He had a suit and a tie on. A young man walked in after him.“Mr Cody, what's happening here?”“Hi, Mr. Bright”“I am here to let you know I'd like to buy your company since it's now for sale.”Bright smiled.“I'm afraid that won't be possible!”“What do you mean by that? Who do you think you are? Why would you give false information to the public?”Bright flared up.“You have to understand me, sir! The information was not false, the company has been sold off to the people who came first.”“What do you mean by that? I'll double up the money for you.”After seeing the news, Bright traveled back to the country just to buy the company because he felt it would be at a cheap price.“Hmm!”Rieka glanced at Bright. “I've bought the company and I won't appreciate you misbehaving on this premises. Since your goal here is no longer achievable, please leave.”“How dare you talk to me in that manner,
“Hmm!” Silas sighed. His father had promised them salary increments but he couldn't fulfill them because the company was about to fall into bankruptcy. Noah stepped forward. “It's enough everyone, listen to what your new chairman has to say.” “New chairman? Is it Silas?” “The company was announced on every news outlet to be for sale. So fast, we have a new chairman?” The employees glanced at Silas. Silas understood their expression and said. “He is right! Rieka Fullams is the new chairman of Peak Cooperation?” They all widened their eyes in surprise. “Is this a joke? Rieka is one of the top workers of Top Notch Group. Why then did she buy Peak Cooperation?” A voice rang out from the midst of the employees. Rieka cleared her throat. “All of you would maintain your jobs. I bought the company so it won't fold up and not for me to make thousands of people jobless. All of you are very important to the company. We have your best interest at heart. I assure you that from your n
“We won't accept this gift from you because we can't take any decision on Rieka's behalf.” Jack made it known “It seems you are Rieka's father but I promise I have good intentions for your daughter. You can have the cheque for all I care but I desire Rieka to be mine.” ‘How could he offer a hundred million to show his intentions in Rieka?’ ‘If she eventually becomes his wife then we are in money.’ Lois thought within her. Lois didn't say what exactly was on her mind. “You can hold the cheque for now pending the conclusion you and Rieka arrive at.” Soon, Rieka and Noah arrived home. When they got home, Rieka didn't see anyone in their residence so she knew they were going to be at the Villa. She grabbed Noah's hand. “I hope it's not that another problem has happened. I need to rest now.” The Duo went to Fullams Villa. Rieka recognized the man who was sitting beside her family members. Lois couldn't help but wonder how wealthy and pompous she’d be if Bright finally became
