“What are you trying to do?” Stephen yelled in fright, as he couldn’t believe Whitman would give such an order.Though Stephen thought it could be a prank to chase him off, the way the men suddenly assembled around him was like they wanted to break his bones truly.“You wouldn’t want to dare with Samson's family. You won’t want to do this” he said again, looking around and looking for an opening to run off.Whitman was smiling as he heard what the lad was saying. The sight was so enjoyable but wasn’t complete yet until Stephen would be on the floor with a bleeding nose or maybe a twisted arm. Then perhaps he could realize someone like him could never temper with someone from Sterling Corporation.“I can have your bones broken and still pay the bills. Sadly, you will be the one screaming all through” Whitman said cheerfully and Stephen could feel the danger in his words.He wouldn’t want to imagine such happening to him, so immediately one of the men came at him, he rolled on the floor
The car drove into a massive mansion that made Harrison’s mouth hang open. He had seen so many, but this one was so unique. The walls alone felt like they were built with Diamonds. It had a special glow that showed how expensive the building itself was.Flowers were nicely arranged in a row leading to the entrance while a fountain was spraying water down on them. The view was just so magnificent that one might think the house was carved out of a movie.“Let’s go in,” Ramon said to both Harrison and Caroline, who were still overwhelmed by shock. They stood still, watching. Never had they seen something like this, except in movies.They could as well call that the most beautiful house they have ever seen.To intensify everything, Ramon leaned closer to Harrison when Caroline wasn’t looking his way and whispered into his ears.“This is yours. Just one of them” Ramon said, smiling while Harrison felt like he was struck by lightning.He could have doubted but having seen Sterling Corporati
“What are you not telling me?” Harrison said with a frown after sensing there was more to Ramon's attitude. It looked like he was hiding something.“I am sorry if I have bothered you, but as you know, since you haven't taken over the company I can't tell you everything,” Ramon said with his head bent low.“Is that so? You are as well telling me to leave” Harrison sneered.“Forgive me, young master. I won't dare tell you that. I am just a no-one. Without you, I won't even exist or even be here” Ramon paid his respect.Harrison saw there wasn't time to drag things on. Who knows, maybe what Ramon was taking too long to say because it wasn't something that could be easily spoken.They walked for a while in the vast sitting room that was accommodating so many expensive things. The massive sofas in the room were facing a transparent glass that was exposing the city. Though it was night, one could have a clear view of the city from there.Harrison hasn't seen all parts of the house, but with
Though it wasn't that convincing, because Harrison could never be above someone like Ramon, Caroline could only believe.It wouldn't make sense even if she forced herself to think that way.“Okay,” she said and both Harrison and Ramon released the breath they had been holding for long.Quickly Ramon stood up after playing the part well. He then looked behind Caroline and saw Lucas standing right there. Both men communicated through eye movement, and it looked like Ramon was blaming him for what happened.“We will be heading home now,” Harrison said quickly.“Okay, how about I offer you a ride?” Ramon offered.“No, you have done too much. At least bringing us here has lightened my wife's mood. I can't help but thank you so much” Harrison smiled.“It's fine. I only did what was right” Ramon replied.“We will take our leave then,” Harrison said and started walking towards the exit along with Caroline.Right before they hopped on the path, the old woman came in with a tray of food. Just a
Harrison felt dizzy. His body felt so weak, yet he felt like there were deep cuts on his body. After waking, he remembered exactly what happened and quickly wanted to take a stance to defend himself but after so much struggle he remained unmoving at a spot.Looking down at himself, he found a rope tied around him, restraining his movements. He tried and tried but to no avail. The rope was too strong for him to break free from.That aside, he looked around to examine where he was only to see he was in an abandoned warehouse. The place was so dark, but there was a little lamp hung up on the wall that was providing light to the place.The stench of rotten food filled the place, making his nose pungent.“Ahh, damn it!” Harrison cursed as the smell was so putridUnknown to him that his movement had alerted the figures who abducted him, and they came barging into the place thinking he had escaped. When they saw he was still bound to the chair but was awake, they quickly rushed to call their
Harrison couldn’t believe what his ears were hearing. He could have sworn that Ramon would never lie to him, so why was he hearing the latter did?Ramon promised to show Harrison his father when the time was right, but this man was telling him that his father was dead. How? Did Ramon lie, so Harrison would accept the company? Harrison felt so lost in his thoughts.“Well, that doesn't concern me. Our father left all his property in your name. Part of it should be mine. I suggest you know what that means?” The man grumbled.Harrison could now tell what his main intentions were. The man before him wasn't seeking revenge but wealth. He wanted part of Sterling Corporation but if so, why not confront Ramon himself?“Why don’t you meet Ramon and leave me out of this?” Harrison sneered.“What?” The man was baffled by Harrison's reply. Why was the lad looking like he wasn’t affected by what he said, or did he not care or what?“Are you telling me you aren't concerned about your property? The
On the outskirts of the city, Caroline woke up shoved beside a massive trash can while rotten food and booze poured on her. People passing, saw her as a drunk who was misled and ended up sleeping there instead of going home. No one tries to offer her care or find out why she was there. Rather, if they had the chance, they might even toss her into the trash can, so she could just be there.Waking up, Caroline found herself in a mystery. The surroundings didn't look clear to her at first so she wiped her eyes to see properly.Just after wiping, she caught an awful smell which made her choke on her spit and was made to cough. That aside, she noticed she wasn’t wearing the Chanel dress but rather some shaggy clothes.The cloth was torn in most parts and was short, exposing her thighs. Caroline felt bitter as she realized she must have exposed everything to the public eye.Then again, she remembered what happened last night. How she and Harrison were knocked out. Quickly, she looked aroun
“I never thought things would turn out to be like this. Those fools walked out on us!” Stephen kept grumbling as he paced around the room painting hard after he was being put on the run by Whitney’s men.He didn’t try to explain what happened, as what was bothering the whole family was more. Grandmother had shut herself in a room and chased them away.Now they were left with figuring out what to do or grandmother promised to punish them. Rachel, who was the cause of it, was lost and bothered among all of them since the fault was centered on her.She sat down just beside Linda thinking thoroughly about what to do when suddenly the door came open and the person who they never expected showed up.“Caroline?” All of them gasped, standing up on their feet like they had seen their worst nightmare.Caroline, who walked in, was in tears. She didn’t even bother about what they were thinking or what they would do to her. After all, she was the one who was shunned so even if they wouldn't apolog
