Ryan blinked his eyelids twice, refocusing his attention on the meeting at hand, he cleared his throat in an attempt to gather his thoughts.With a smile on his face, he mouthed. “Yes, let’s review the projection for each department first.” He delved into the discussion, his executives nodding their heads intermittently as they listened to what their boss was spilling out. He stopped and he was struggling to concentrate. His mind drifted back to the image of Brown and how his car exploded. He couldn’t shake the feeling of the guilt that gnawed at him.“What if I was not there to save him, what would have happened to him? Where was he coming back from and where was he going to by that hour of the night,” he said in his thoughts. “Sir! Sir! Are you alright? You seem distracted.” Mrs. Juliet Benjamin asked.She stared at him, “what is going on with him.” She asked herself.Ryan inhales and exhales softly. “ Yes, I am fine just dealing with some personal matters. Please continue with th
The police Chief Franklin, cleared his throat. “Mr. Baker, we are here to discuss the circumstances surrounding your grandson’s accident. Our investigation has uncovered some troubling details.”It appears that your grandson Car’s brake was tempered with, contributing to the severity of the accident. Additionally, we have reasons to as well believe that he was driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. We were able to get video clips of him leaving the bar drunk, that night before the incident. And based on the report there were traces of alcohol in his system at the time of the incident.”His words hung in the air like a balloon, the family glanced at each other in confusion, it was difficult for them to believe. “No, No, it can be true. My grandson is a good boy.” Mr. Caleb screamed out.Ryan tries to process the shocking information, a wave of conflicting thoughts thudding in his head. “Who would have done such a thing to Brown, who would want to harm him?
“I am fine, Just that I was worried about Brown and I wondered who would have done such evil against him,” he said, his voice filled with curiosity.“Young master, that is not supposed to bother you. Master Brown might be from the Baker’s family and he might as well have offended someone. The person decided to act back.” Nicolas said.Ryan Furrowed his eyebrow at him, he took a sip from the glass. Shaking his head. “We need to find out who it is. Brown is also a Baker. No one should mess with any member of the Baker family.”After a few discussions with his butler and driver, whom he had trusted and has become his friends. He felt happy and his mood changed. They discussed other things and they all shared their problems and laughed over it.Ryan left them and he ambled towards his room, he sat at the edge of the king-size bed. His gaze is drawn irresistibly to the diamond necklace sitting on the table. With a mixture of curiosity and trepidation, he reaches out and lifts it.“What’s
He found the news about Brown’s accident while scrolling through his iPad, he moved it aside as he continued to scroll down. After some moments, he walked outside the house, got into his car and the driver drove off straight to work.He was attending to emails of business proposals, since the news of how he was able to handle the embezzlement scheme spread across the city. Prime Realty Group has gained more ground. People have been wanting to do business with them.Whilst going through the emails, he saw a birthday invitation from Turner Brian. The birthday was scheduled for Friday, Ryan checked his schedule to see if he had any relevant business meetings so he could know how to reschedule or how to tackle it.**********Reuben was seated anxiously at a corner table, his mind racing with apprehension as he awaits the arrival of the mysterious figure who claimed to be in possession of the damning evidence against him.“Good morning sir, Welcome what can we offer you.” The waitress aske
With his trembling hand and his sweating face, he obliged and did as he was instructed. He glanced through each page of the document. It was the same as the one he took from the Lawyer’s bag the previous night.“How! How did you get these.” He sputtered in disbelief.Joseph laughed at him, he shrugged his shoulders. “I was planning on asking you, Why were you so desperate for the divorce papers? You thought you were the only person that had a copy of it. No boy.” He said, unleashing a deadly grin at Reuben."How did you get these.” He yelled angrily.“Boy, you better lower your voice. We are not the only ones here. Take a look around, you might get yourself into trouble.” He uttered.Reuben was confused, he remembered setting the divorce papers ablaze to avoid being suspected or traced. So how did Joseph get his hands on the divorce papers?Joseph played the tape from the previous night and showed it to Reuben. “This seems like one of those Hollywood series, where the bad guys are clo
Joseph took a sip, swallowing hard before he mouthed. “I am an abandoned son of the Bakers.” He uttered in an angry tone, his fist clenched in pain and sorrow.Reuben stared at him in disbelief, “What do you mean by an abandoned Son of the Bakers.”“After the death of his first wife, who is Ryan’s grandmother. Mr. Caleb got my mother pregnant, she used to work as a maid at the Baker’s mansion. George’s mother found out about my mother being pregnant and she accused my mother of trying to Poison her. My mom was chased away by Mr. Caleb and his wife.”He continues. “ My mom was left with no choice but to leave the mansion, she did several jobs to survive. She informed Mr. Caleb about her baby when she gave birth to me but he never took us seriously. My mom got married to a drunk man who always mistreated her and called her names. She was beaten to death by her drunk husband and he was arrested.”He paused and continued, “After that, I ran away and returned to Brentwood. I survived on the
“Thank you, Ryan. Thanks for accepting my invitation. Your grandfather has told me a lot about you and I am happy to finally meet you.”The two men stood together, discussing business ventures and potential investment opportunities. Mr. Turner expressed a keen interest in partnering with Prime Realty Group.“Ryan, I have been following your real estate success with Prime Realty Group with great interest, I must confess you did a good job by fishing out the bad eggs in the company. I believe there is tremendous potential for collaboration between our businesses in future.”“I would like to discuss the possibility of investing in your company and exploring business opportunities together.”“That is very generous of you, Mr. Turner. I will be honoured to explore a partnership with you. We can arrange a meeting to discuss the details further.” Ryan said, with his face engrossed with happiness.Whilst both men continued to have a conversation about business, a shadow fell over the room as
She is Elizabeth Brian, the first daughter of Gabriel Brian, Mr. Turner's first son. She was beautiful and in her twenties. She wore a designer gown which has cleavage between her chest. The golden gown made her look like a goddess, her makeover was amazing.Ryan turned towards the direction his name was called. With a smiling face, he retorted. “ Hello.” “I am Elizabeth Brian, my grandfather is the celebrant.” She uttered.“I must confess, you look beautiful. Nice meeting you Elizabeth. I am Ryan Baker.”“I know, I have heard a lot about you from people and the media,” she said, smiling.“Why are you standing alone, would you mind if I keep you company and show you around the hotel,” she asked, with her voice barely above a whisper.Ryan nodded in approval. “ Okay.” They both walked side by side with smiles on their faces, as they walked towards different sections of the hotel and discussed several things. They were able to ask each other questions about their preferences and disl
