2024-04-15 18:01:48Sebastien turned to look at Isabelle and took her hands in his, “Accept the offer, I am with you,I'll help you and I promise we will succeed”
Miranda laughed, clearly over her earlier embarrassment, “Do you guys think this is a movie? This is real life, you can't just assure support with mere words. At the end of the day you both will be decapitated with bruises all over”
“Two couples. One is dumb, the other is mad. Lovely combination. Do you guys even think it's possible to accomplish such a task within 3 days?! Do yourselves a favor and quit trying to be the next heir “ Tony supported Miranda
“But we don't want to attend any burial now, do we?” Miranda asked mockingly.
“Keep quiet and go back to the hole you dug out from. You seek to have forgotten what your shameful boyfriend did. Need a remainder?” Sebastien attacked her and she opened her mouth to reply but couldn't form words so she just stepped back.
“Stop it Sebastien, you've already caused enough havoc in our lives. Why do you want to cause even more havoc?! Haven't you done enough?! Do we need to take you to the asylum for a recheck since it seems like you've probably developed a new mental illness” Angeline cried out, frustrated by the outplay of things.
“Isabelle, you are my daughter and I am your mother. I believe you'll adhere to whatever I say without having a second thought. And I'm saying you should forget about the task and that is what you'll do. At least if you didn't take my advice to divorce this man then you should listen to me now. Please.” Angeline pleaded with Isabelle, she was just an innocent mother who didn't want to lose her child.
“Don't worry, I'll make sure we succeed. Have you forgotten that she is my wife too. I wouldn't want to lose my wife” Sebastien tried to assure Angeline again.
“Isabelle, if you trust me, accept this offer and I promise you that you won't regret it. Just trust me, please” Sebastien tried again, he wanted nothing more but to see her family put to shame especially her cousins Miranda and Tony.
Isabelle was kept in a difficult situation, not knowing who to choose. On one hand she was scared and worried because she had heard a lot about this gangster and on the other hand she knew deep down she knew she had to accept because she was also tired of being looked down on and she wanted nothing more but to try everything she could to prove herself to the family.
“I trust you. I'll accept the task and within three days I will report back to you all”
Angeline grabbed her daughter by the arm, “What do you think you're doing, Isabelle?”
“Just trust me this time Mum. I'll be fine, I promise you”
Everyone gasped when they heard her reply. It was so brave of her to take the risk.
Master Wilson clapped his hands to gain their attention again, “Okay, since that is setting. Take note that the offer for all candidates is to secure a deal with Chesterfield investment company but Isabelle has an added task, which is to clear the debt of a gangster, because of the circumstances surrounding her leadership in the finance department. So, you all can also report to me in the next three days.”
“Anyone who finishes his or her task first will be crowned the next heir”
Miranda grinned in delight. Roland knew one the directors of Chesterfield investment company and he could help her secure the deal. She nudged him and said, “do you still have access to the director of Chesterfield investment company contact? This could help you get on grandfather's good side again. Because I'll make sure to give you the credit”
Roland smiled when he heard what she said. His girlfriend was such a genius. He thought to himself. Since this will cover up for the shame of the emerald, he will go to any extent to make sure Miranda secures the deal. “I'll call him as soon as we leave this place. This is already a done deal just relax and wait for my report” he winked, assuring her. Miranda giggled in response.
Then finally the ceremony ended and everyone went about figuring out how to achieve their tasks.
***************************
After the ceremony, Sebastien decided that they have to figure out how to clear the debt from the gangster first. So they went straight to the gangster's house which was located not so far away from master Wilson's house.
Isabelle sighed, one could sense the unease and worry behind the sigh. Sebastien, noticing that she was scared, took her small hands in his and they walked silently to the gangster's house
“Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'm with you” Sebastien reassured Isabelle.
Most people only knew Romero pierson as a gangster and they were still so scared of him. What will happen when they find out that he was a member of a secret mafia society!
They finally stopped when they got to the huge white modern building fenced by a fancy gate. One look at the house and you could tell that it wasn't just a house of an ordinary man. Only the rich and influential will be able to afford to stay in a place like that.
Romero Pierson had a whole lot of money but he was still very stingy and found it hard to pay for services rendered to him. That's why he resorts to violence.
Sebastien and Isabelle were just about to enter when they were distracted by the horn of a car. They turned and saw a sparkling pink porsche car with glitters. It looked like the latest model that was just released. It looked like something straight out of a barbie movie, and in the driver's seat Miranda sat comfortably with her hands on the wheel.
The window wound down to reveal Miranda's mean and arrogant face.
“Oh my gosh, are you two really willing to take the risk of recovering the debt. I thought you both had sense and were just bluffing. Oh, how wrong was I”
“Seems like all the people Romero has beaten up in the past Isn't enough cited example for the both of you. I hope you get what you deserve then”
Sebastien and Isabelle wondered what she was doing here. Could she have been following them?
Just at that moment she turned off the ignition, came down from the car and started walking towards the huge gate.

“What are you doing here?” Isabelle asked, she asked because she knew she was the only person grandfather gave the task of debt clearing to.“I'm here to meet Romero Pierson, I need to purchase a few lands from him” she then flipped her hair, “why am I even telling the both of you! You have no business with my life!”“We don't want to have any business with you, we were just wondering what you were doing here. Stop barking” Sebastien said, thereby earning a glare from Miranda. “I guess you guys are so scared about going to meet Romero to ask for the money. That's why you are here stalling the meeting“ Miranda placed a hand on her chest in mock sympathy. “Well I understand, Nobody wants broken bones except two crazy people. All the best” she winked and went inside. Miranda strutted into Romero's office.She entered a spacious office where a man with a luxurious gold chain sat on an armchair. He had a woman sitting on his lap, straddling him, and he had one hand around her waist hold

Sebastien's gaze darkened with fury, “you know, I just stood in the corner, watching. Waiting. Hoping that you wouldn't lay your filthy hands on my wife. How dare you?”Sebastien was so livid and even Isabelle and Miranda were taken aback by the level of his annoyance. “Do you have a death wish!” Sebastien thundered.Romero burst out into laughter, he couldn't hide his amusement. He couldn't believe he was being threatened by a non-entity. “You are very stupid. Who do you think you are to threaten me? I have an expertise in dealing with people like you”He snapped his fingers twice and three guards came into the office with chains, blindfolds and ak47 guns.“Tie them up!” He ordered the guards. Isabelle shivered in fear. Her thoughts ran wild at that point. Was this how she was going to die? Maybe she should have listened to her parents? What if they kill her and Sebastien?The guards dragged Sebastien away from Isabelle first and chained his wrists and ankles to a pole.Romero took

Isabelle and Sebastien took the check and walked out of his office. When they got to the gate they saw Miranda there sulking beside her car.“You! The both of you! How can I be humiliated because of the two of you! I promise you both will pay for this. I'll tell grandfather and everyone that you both watched Romero beat me up!”Isabelle was shocked at her outburst, where they were supposed to stop Romero from beating her up. Would she have done the same if it was the other way round.“Oh shut up! Would you have done the same if it was the other way round?” Sebastien asked calmly, he knew the answer should be no after all she was mocking them and wished they had gotten beaten up by Romero. “That doesn't matter! What's important is that you should have helped me!” Miranda felt ashamed, why would he slap her in front of those little brats and to add to the shame he didn't even give her the land that she came for.She fumed in anger. This was the height of disrespect she had received in

When they got to the house, Adeline ran downstairs to welcome them. She hugged Isabelle and examined her body before asking, “hope you didn't get hurt?” Isabelle was surprised by her mother's reaction, she expected her mother to be angry and shout at them.Isabelle smiled, then said, “I'm fine, I don't know how Sebastien did it but he really helped me”“I think you should thank him instead and on the bright side we were able to get the money from romero pierson” Isabelle turned to look at Sebastien with a huge grin on her face.Adeline couldn't believe what Isabelle said, there's no way that a retard like Sebastien could save her daughter from a mafia gangster. “That isn't possible. Isn't it this Sebastien that isn't even capable of protecting himself not to talk of protecting another person”“Mum, I was there and I know what I saw. And because of Sebastien they obeyed us and gave us the money and even added extra interest” she raised the suitcase and showed her mother.Her mother r

Later that night Isabelle's phone rang, she picked it up and took a look at the call ID, it was Sebastien. She then answered the call with a smile on her face. “How are you feeling now?” His smooth voice was the first thing she heard. His voice always made her fall deeper in love with him. If that was even possible. “I've told you I'm fine, Sebastien.” Isabelle tried to assure him. “Thanks for your help earlier today, you still haven't told me how you did it but I'm sure we didn't get hurt because of you” “Hmm. Like I said earlier, at the right time. You'll know. Right now let's focus on securing the deal with Chesterfield investment company. We really need to get this deal” Isabelle nodded, forgetting for a moment that he wasn't there with her. “Yes. But how can we do that in such a short time frame? We have just today and tomorrow!” Isabelle wanted nothing more but to see Miranda being put to shame but at the same time the possibility of Isabelle getting the investment was ver

In no time they were done with what they came to do and Isabelle took a look at the mirror and she was impressed because of how good the make up made her look.After that, the beauticians left and Adeline came into the room with some boxes. Isabelle was surprised when she saw the labels on those boxes. Those were designer products and they weren't extremely expensive. “Mum! How did you get that?” She couldn't help but ask because she knew with their current financial situation there was no way that her mother would have been able to purchase products from prestige brand.

Not only that but he was also suggesting Isabelle joined him on the seventh floor!“Keep your filthy offer to yourself! Tell me, how did you get access to this restaurant?” Adeline said bitterly, everything was going well, everyone was getting along just fine and Sebastien just had to come at this time. She was so livid!Isabelle was surprised, the seventh floor was even more expensive and more extravagant than this floor they were currently on. The higher the floors the more expensive and classy they became. This made Isabelle question once again, who Sebastien truly is.Sebastien smiled warmly, “oh, you hurt my feelings with your words and I couldn't care less.

In Fact she expected him to be even more pissed off that she couldn’t stand her grounds but instead had to call him.” “Allow him in, right now!” Those were the final words of the manager before the call ended. “You can make your way to the manager’s office, sir. The manager is expecting you” the receptionist said, fixing her gaze on Sebastien.

He had just broken the news to Mason that the plan didn’t work out well. “We should be glad that you are still getting a huge amount of patronage in comparison to your previous sales. It means, we have been able to tarnish the image of the hunt’s resource company even though the building still stands” Tony Wilson tried to explain to his friend. “And what happens if eventually the rumors get cleared up?” Mason interjected. “I don’t see that happening anytime soon. It isn’t easy to clear up rumors like that. The masses already have an impression of the hunt’s resource company.” Tony tried to encourage himself and Mason. Mason was quiet for a while. He thought about what Tony was saying and concluded that he had a point. The major thing was that his company was still having massive sales and that is all that

Romero was most annoyed about the fact that Tony Wilson didn’t deem it fit to mention that the company was headed by his brother-in-law. Romero left his office and ordered one of his subordinates to take him to the hunt’s resource company, where the protest was currently ongoing. ********************“There has to be a mix up here!

Please just stay here, please!” Adeline said, tightening her grip on Isabelle’s arm. Meanwhile, Sebastien on the other hand stood fearlessly as the gangsters approached him.

We are in dire need of help” Adeline rambled as soon as Sebastien picked up the call. “Calm down,” Sebastien said, “I would be there shortly.

Adeline picked up her phone and dialed Sebastien’s number, “have you seen what is on the news?” She asked immediately Sebastien picked up the call. “What is wrong?” Sebastien asked, noticing the worry in her voice. He had been busy the entire morning so he hadn’t even gone through social media or turned on the television. “There is a malicious article against the Hunt’s resource company” Adeline exclaimed. “Calm down,” Sebastien said over the phone to stop Adeline from panicking a whole lot. “I would check the news now and I would s
