“Wife, I’ll have you take over the company tomorrow.” Harrison broke the silence after a long while of eating. A smile was on his face as he spoke the words, looking straight at her.

“Take over the company? What do you mean?” Caroline was caught on her tongue. Even though she was stuffed and glued to her chair, she couldn’t help but give him that reaction as it seemed her body moved on its own.

“Yes. You’ll be taking over Samson company. All of it would be yours, and you will be partnering with Sterling Corporation which is my company. Everything you once wanted will be yours.” Harrison spoke calmly since he knew she was shocked and still trying to process everything.

Her dream had been to work in that company for a long while now, but each time she brought the requests to her mother or grandmother none of them paid attention to her.

They weren’t being fair despite knowing Caroline graduated first in her class unlike the others yet they degraded her and left her to suffer.

    “I am ready to take over the company.” Caroline blurted out, shocking everyone. She no longer saw it as a cheat, but rather getting back what was meant to be hers.“Are you sure?” Harrison asked, creasing his brow and looking at Ramon to be certain he wasn’t the only one who heard those words from her.“Yes, and I’ll make them pay. They can’t kill my parents and go scot-free.” Caroline said with a sharp gaze, exposing she might have a deadly intention. Harrison sensed this and quickly walked towards her. He never intended to shape her in that direction. Never.“Don’t tell me you want to kill them.” He asked to be sure, but she didn’t reply, so he concluded he was right anyway. “You wouldn’t want their blood on your hands and beside it was Samson who killed your parents, and now he is dead.” He explained.“And they knew what he did yet no one told me anything?” She fumed.“They also have their faults, but that doesn't mean you should kill them. Watching you taking back the company and

    “What are you talking about? What do you mean by “I should help you with Harrison?” Linda was confused by the whole thing. The utterance of that name alone sent shivers down her spine, as that person was the cause of the mess her entire family was in.“Yes, you heard me. I want to deal with that trashy son-in-law of your family.” Edward said again with a straight face. From the tone of his words and expression, Linda could tell something had been between them that she didn’t know about.“Is there something you are not telling me? Do you know him, and where do you know him from?” Linda asked, getting impatient.Smiling, he leaned back in his chair, embracing the moment. He should have known he was too upfront, but it doesn't matter. What he wanted was to achieve what was on his mind and to achieve that, he needed her.“Yes, I know, Harrison.” He cupped his chin. “Much more than you do, and I also knew he was the heir to Sterling Corporation.” He added smirking and Linda felt struck in

    Linda remained in a spot, overwhelmed, and even forgot to breathe. What did he mean by Harrison was his brother? How the hell did they relate? The way he was serious when he said the words told her it wasn't a bluff.Does this mean they were enemies from way back? She thought for a while. Even though it didn't make sense to her, she was ready to believe anything at the moment. If Harrison who was a trash bag could rise to riches, then anything was worth believing.Just then the TV in the VIP section was turned on, and she was shocked to see who she was thinking about on the screen.“Harrison?” She exclaimed, almost as if it was her nightmare that was played for her to watch.——-Meanwhile, In front of Sterling Cooperation, Harrison was standing in front of cameras, reporters, and content writers. A smile was written on his face and he wore a tuxedo suit worth millions of dollars. His hair was curled nicely to the back, and he gave off an aura of someone who was filthy rich.One might

  • Hidden Fortune’s Heir   Renaming the company

    Harrison walked into the company and was welcomed by all the staff. They all left their posts and lined up by the entrance as he walked in. Soon after they spotted him, they started clapping their hands with cheerful smiles on their faces. Flashing lights were installed and everywhere was decorated beautifully just to welcome him into the company.Today marked the beginning when he took the company as the CEO. Even companies that were in partnership didn't fail to send someone to represent them, so their contract wouldn't be terminated.However, some were still cursing him in their heart. After digging into his background and knowing he was just a son-in-law with a poor living they were displeased. But then what added fear to the whole thing was when they discovered he snatched his mother-in-law's company. That was way more terrifying as they thought about it.Smiling, Harrison held his wife with might as he walked towards the elevator heading for his office. The other people who wer

    “How about Jules enterprise?” Caroline took a hint as she tilted her head to the side.“Why don't you use your name? Won't it sound better if it's Caroline's enterprise?” Harrison asked curiously.“I've always liked the name, you know. It's a promise that I made to myself that if I ever have a company, I will name it Jules.” Caroline vented her wishes, and it was good as Harrison watched her say it. He couldn't help but smile. The name was good enough, so he didn't have any problem with it.“It's good. Now let go and make you a CEO.” He clung her arm to his and pulled her towards the door. She couldn't help but blush as she dragged her. She thought he would have a different personality from now onward, but then he looked like the same Harrison she married all those years.Both of them walked hand in hand together and were about to reach for the elevator going downstairs when the door opened.A tall, built man wearing an expensive suit walked in having bulky men all around him.

    “You think you know me or you've seen me somewhere?” Edward asked, trying so hard to conceal his nervousness. After all, it wasn't like he was afraid of Harrison, it was just that he didn't want to get caught before implementing what he had in mind.Even though he had so much confidence in himself, it seemed he failed to figure out that Harrison wasn't just some dumb person he could toy with easily. He could tell as his heart was beating fast.“I don't know precisely where, but I think I've seen someone as structured as you,” Harrison said as though he was trying to solve a puzzle in his head.Sighing, Edward realized he could still divert the whole thing so he calmed down and put on a smile. “Ooh, you can't just recognize someone by body structure. Maybe we have met but I am not sure if we have. As you can see, even my bodyguard looks quite the same as me. I usually work out a lot so I can build up myself.” He explained.“Ooh, I see. So you want to invest in my wife's company?” Harri

    “Sir, can I at least spend a few years here? I am not ready to retire yet.” Ramon said, even though Harrison looked firm with his words. All his life, he had dedicated it to work. He could as well call it a hobby. Retiring would just make him look jobless, and he hated that fact.“You'll kill yourself someday if you keep stressing yourself. At least you can stay in your office all through. I see no reason for you to stress yourself when Whitman is there to take care of most things.” Harrison taunted.“As long as I am serving you, I don't mind.” Ramon smiled as he walked in further and placed the document right in front of the table.Sighing, Harrison leaned forward and picked it up. He should have known Ramon would be so stubborn to accept his offer, but that doesn't mean he would still let him keep working. He already schemed up something in his head but refused to say it in the meantime.Scanning through the document, he found several names on it that he had heard of before. Some co

    Caroline searched for whose voice it was for a while and was yet to see who was talking. Then from the other end of the crowd, a man having bald hair looking in his late forties started walking towards her. He had gray hair and wore a suit. As he approached her, his mustache twitched as he molded his mouth in annoyance. Caroline knew who he was, so instantly her expression turned sour.She knew exactly the kind of person he was and when she confronted him way back for a job he threw her out saying she didn't have all the requirements. Who could have thought she could be above him today?“I see you have grown from grass to grace.” The man said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“Mr Patrick, it's nice to see you again.” Caroline ignored his mockery with a smile.“Why won't it be after you have snatched your family's company and now look filthy rich? I hope this is not fake.” He sneered, looking at her dead in the eyes with disgust written on his face.Hearing such, Lucas wanted to gi

    The end

    “You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h

    A miscalculated plan

    Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever

    Boom!

    Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu

    Strange flowers

    “Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu

    An apology

    “Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira

    The callers intention

    “Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi

    Stand down

    “What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any

    Loyal to the young master

    The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
