Arriving back at the villa, Linda left her car by the gate before running into the house. She was still in tears as she ran, hoping to slip into her pillow to cry out her lungs.However, Stephen caught sight of her, he felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. Although he was taking a tour around the garden when she walked in, he had no choice but to run towards her to ask what happened. From her expression, he knew it would be bad news.He badly wanted to hear what he was thinking was wrong. Likewise, he would prefer she was molested for wearing such a dress rather than losing the contract.“Linda, what happened?” He asked worriedly and she stopped. Her red eyes looked at him before she cried harder again.“What is it? What happened?” Stephen asked again, and their mom overheard his yelling, so she came running too.Rachel was in a state of panic when she saw her daughter in that state. She looked unsightly dressed.“What happened Linda? Tell me who did this to you?” R
Deep in the city, Harrison alighted a cab just beside the mall he bought. Just as promised, Ramon had done so well with the place. The crappy mall was renovated into a high-class one but then Daniel, who was still a shareholder, was still there. After all, he sold just eighty percent to Harrison after foreseeing the mall was going to soar higher.Anyone who concerns themselves with sterling cooperation always glides higher. If not for Harrison's intervention, he would be on the verge of going bankrupt. Although, despite that his pride was still on, deep down he knew he had to be grateful to Harrison.Harrison got into the mall and was spotted just by the entrance. Daniel, who was running a list in the place, quickly rushed towards him and bowed.“Young master, you are here? The document is signed already, and I have been giving out a weekly percentage to your bank account” he informed, feeling tense to see Harrison there. He had been cheating so he feared that must be the reason Har
“Who do you think you are? Do you think I will spare you? I suggest you go down on your knees and lick my shoe, then maybe I will refrain from breaking your bones.” Damien was pissed. He knew the whole of his net worth wouldn’t be enough to buy such a dress but here was this man getting high on himself.“Honey, don’t waste your time on him. Let’s just call the manager” Theresa insisted.“I would listen to your wife if I were you,” Harrison smirked. “Who the fuck do you think you are? I will…” Damien cried out and lunged at Harrison with a punch towards the latter's nose, but then Harrison easily evaded it by redirecting his punch elsewhere, and he went stumbling towards the floor.Theresa's mouth flew open after what happened. She couldn’t believe Harrison was able to pull that off even when he was locked in a terrible situation.“Honey, just call the manager. This clod should be jailed for this” Damien stood up quickly after sliding on the floor. His clothes were now stained and his
“What are you saying, mother-in-law? Why are the police here and why am I being arrested?” Harrison asked, confused. These men were looking at him like a criminal who had killed someone when he had done nothing.“You fool, you harassed my daughter. Do you think I am going to spare you?” Rachel yelled furiously. If not for the fact that the police were around already, she could have jumped on him and clawed on his face.“Young man, you are arrested, anything you say or do will be used against you,” a policeman said, giving out a look of disgust as he stared at Harrison. He wondered why someone like him would even try such. Doesn’t he have some cleaning to do rather than harassing his sister-in-law? Such a shameful act.“This must be wrong, sir. You guys are making a mistake. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t break the law, so why are you arresting me?” Harrison asked again.“Shut up. Hands above your head” another said and Harrison had no choice but to do what he was told since they weren
“Why haven’t I heard anything from young master?” Ramon was disturbed as he kept pacing around in circles inside the office. He was so worried that eating was never an option for him. He knew by now that he was supposed to receive a call from Harrison for a thing or two.Besides, Harrison told him that his wife was coming to propose a partnership with them, but that day was two days ago. Harrison’s wife never came, nor did he call to tell Ramon the reason.“What is wrong, sir? You don’t seem like yourself” Whitney, the acting manager asked worriedly.“It’s the young master. I fear something must have happened to him” Ramon explained.“What happened to him? Who dares mess with the heir of sterling cooperation? I don’t think anyone alive is capable of trying such a thing, " Whitney said.“I know. But we also have enemies. There are people out there that would want to bring us down” Ramon replied. One of their enemies was Raymond and his son Larry. Maybe it was them who attacked the youn
Harrison stared coldly at everyone, almost as though he could set them up on fire with his eyes“What took you so long?” He said with a deep voice.“Forgive me, young master, I didn’t know you were here or else I would have come sooner. Please punish me the way you see fit” Ramon said with their head still on the floor.Harrison knew it wasn't his fault so he decided to let it off.“Get up Ramon, let’s go,” Harrison said. There was no point in staying here as all it could do was make him angrier than he was.“Okay” Ramon stood up with the others, and they quickly paved the way for Harrison to walk in between them.Harrison walked in between the men, but he stopped just beside the inspector who now looked like he would piss his pants. Harrison's gaze alone had stripped him of his confidence, all he could do now was grovel on his feet, or else death would be his end. He remembered how he had slapped Harrison multiple times when he tried to explain what had happened and now he was going
“What do you mean by it's time? Are you planning on taking over the company now?” Ramon asked excitedly as he hovered around Harrison, who was now sitting on the main chair in the office.Ramon didn’t fail to capture the words the latter said. If that were true, then the sterling Corporation could soar high. Because Harrison hadn’t taken over, there were so many pending deals waiting for approval.“Don’t get me wrong, Ramon. I have taken over, but it won’t be announced publicly. There are things I have yet to do. I must take my revenge” Harrison uttered coldly. He would make his wife's family grovel on his feet and beg for mercy, then he would cut them off from his life.“But young master, I have been waiting for this moment. Don’t you think it’s time?” Ramon asked with a frown. He didn’t expect to get such a reply.“My wife is there. This isn’t about taking over. I want her to have her spotlight too. I want to watch that family for a while before telling them who I am. I feel there i
Linda arrived at Sterling Corporation. This time she was so courageous compared to before. She walked as though she owned the place already. After all, when she gets the deal she could go anywhere she wants in the company.As she walked in, every attention was attracted to her. Most of the internal workers were shocked to see her back in the company after what happened last time.Aside from all that, the dress she was wearing alone was expensive enough to leave everyone's mouth hanging open.Ignoring all this, Linda walked into the elevator and smashed the top button.———Meanwhile, back on the top floor, Harrison was still seated in a chair. Ramon had come in to deliver the news to him, saying Linda was on her way.Harrison was smirking while waiting for how things were going to play out. The first person he was going to use would be her. If she was thinking something different, then it was at her loss.Cling! The elevator door came open and Linda walked in happily into the office.

“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
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
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
“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
“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
“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
“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
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
