Mr. Caleb stepped into the office, with his butler behind him. His face beams in astonishment. He engulfed his grandson in a deep hug before he finally released him.Placing two hands on Ryan's shoulder, He winked at the Butlers to give them some privacy. “Ryan, I am proud of you. I am happy with the way you handled everything today. You showed courage and intelligence, you showed courage in the face of hard knocks and you have my support.”He paused as he moved forward, towards Ryan's chair. He stared at the chair, his eyes dripping a little in tears, he used his handkerchief to wipe the tears off his face. “ I miss your father Frederick, but you have proved to me and the shareholders that you are a true leader. I believe with your guidance, I have no doubts our company will overcome every challenge and we will emerge stronger.” He said, his heart mixed with different feelings. “Take care of yourself son, Keep up the good work and remember to always visit me and your mom.” He saunt
His eyes blazing in fury at the sight before him without uttering a word, he lunged at Brown in aggression. Tackling him to the ground and wrestling him away from his sister Victoria.“Get away from her, get away from her you monster.” He roared like an angry lion, his voice was thick and filled with anger as he pinned Brown to the ground, his muscles bulging with effort.Grey watches in shock at the two men grappling with each other, their bodies wriggling in a tangled heap on the floor, grey tried to separate them both but he couldn’t. He strides outside the house to call for the guards to come to help him, and the guards rush in to help their master. When they rushed in, Brown had been pinned down by Reuben, and he was breathing heavily. “Stop them, Separate them,” Grey commanded.The guards managed to separate the two men, they were held apart and their breath became heavy after wrestling for a little time.“You think you have the strength, I will show you who I am,” Brown utter
“How is she Doctor,” Reuben asked. He rushed to the doctor immediately, he sighted him coming out of the room. His parents followed him.“Calm down, please. Are you her husband.” The doctor asked politely.“No, Doctor, I am her brother,” he retorted.The Doctor inhales softly, as he stares at the worried faces before him.“Doctor say something, how is my daughter?” Mr. Simpson asked.“I am sorry, but we need to talk.” The doctor said calmly.“Is she going to be okay?” Mrs. Vanessa asked anxiously.“Your daughter, Victoria has suffered severe injuries, including internal bleeding and a concussion. We are doing everything we can for her but her condition is critical.” He said solemnly.Reuben used his palm to tap on his head repeatedly, he was boiling in inner rage. “ Please doctor, you have to save my sister, she is my only sister.” He said.“Doctor, please do something. That girl is my only daughter and I can’t lose her.” Mr. Simpson pleaded with his hands clasped together.The doctor
It was the day of the court hearing, the courtroom was hushed as they waited for the judge to deliver the verdict, and tension engrossed the ambience of the courtroom. They await the judge’s decision after going through the evidence and after a few questions from the witness, plaintiff and defendants.Family and friends of the defendants were present, Ryan was seated close to his grandfather, Mr. Edward Baker was present, Mrs. Juliet Benjamin and a few other staff from the company and their sister’s companies were present to witness the judgement.Brown was seated with his brother Grey by his side, his fist clenched in frustration as he watched the proceedings unfold before his eyes. Grey’s face was etched with worries and shame.The judge Mrs. Florence Benedict cleared her throat, she leaned forward and mouthed. “After carefully reviewing the evidence presented by both the witnesses and Plaintiff.”.Mr. George and his accomplices exchange shocking glances, their faces paling at the
Ryan turned to face Brown, Brown was seething in anger and approached Ryan, behind him was his brother Grey and a few guards.“How could you do this to my parents Ryan,” he asked with his voice brimming with anger.The reporters saw it and quickly stride towards their direction, all attention was now fixated on Ryan and Brown. Camera flashes from different corners, the guards were pushing the reporters backwards. But they were not backing off, they were all eager to know what the two had to spill out.“Brown Baker, I did what I had to do to uncover the truth. Your parents were stealing from the company and were involved in illegal activities, they needed to be held accountable,” he said, his voice was steady and he kept a serious facial expression.Brown was furious, he clenched his fist. “Held accountable, Do you know what you have done? You have destroyed my family, Ryan. You have turned me into a laughing stock in the city, you even have the guts to relieve me of my duty as the mana
“I am Noah, Brown’s lawyer, I was sent by my client to hand over a letter to Victoria.” He said, in a deep and serious tone.“What letter?” Victoria promptly asked, her face reeling in confusion. The nurse walked away from the room, leaving the lawyer with the Forster family. The lawyer shoved his hands into his bag and brought out a document, handling it over to Victoria. He gazes at her as she scans through the contents of the document. Victoria’s heart sank into her stomach, and her breath caught in her throat as she read the words that were boldly written on the document.Her hands quivered in pain and sorrow.“What is it.” Her brother asked. Victoria’s eyes were watering, she shook her in disbelief. “No this can’t be, I want to see him.” She said sobbing.“What is it.” Her mother asked.“He wants a divorce, he is truly blaming me for everything that’s happening in his family. He accused me of still having feelings for Ryan, and for not helping him get his revenge.” She said in
Reuben picks his phone and dialled his friend’s number, after a few minutes it connected. “Where are you?” He asked in a deep tone.“We are closing in on him.” The caller retorted.“Get him and bring him to the meeting spot, I will be there once I am through with what I am doing. Don’t mess things up, be fast,” he said, before terminating the call, shoving the phone into his pocket.His face is set in a determined expression as he glances at the Black Car before him. It was parked at a spot that was covered with darkness and it would be difficult for someone to see him from afar except the person would have to walk close.He opened the bag he was carrying revealing the tools inside of it, he used the tool to open the car door without the car making any sound. With the car door widely opened he stooped down, tinkered with the car brake system, his hand moving dexterously despite the darkness surrounding him. He was focused on the car and with his eyes still gazing at the entrance of
He was driving and sipping his drink, he approached an intersection, where he saw a red light ahead of him and he instinctively pressed down on the brake pedal, But to his notice, there was no response. The car continues to hurtle forward, picking up speed with each second that passes by.Brown began to panic, his eyes widened in shock, just like the drink cleared from his eyes immediately. “Shit, I thought this car was checked last few days ago. What’s happening.” He muttered inwardly.His heart pounding fast in his chest, he repeatedly and frantically pumps the brake pedal with his leg. He even changed feet to be sure he was not mistaken anything but all his efforts to stop the car were futile.He screamed from his car, “Get out of the way, get out of the way. Help Me! Help me!” He tapped the car horn repeatedly, this grabbed the attention of other drivers and they shifted a bit for him. The car barren through the intersection, narrowly missing other vehicles as it moved out of cont
