Walking out of Sterling Corporation, a broad smile was itched around Caroline's face. She looked around the place, hoping to find Harrison waiting for her, but he wasn’t.The place was crowded with people and cabs. After searching she still couldn’t find him.“Wife? You are out already?” Harrison spoke. She was looking the other way when he came from behind her.“Where have you been? I have waited for a long time " She frowned.“I am sorry, wife. I only went to help someone across the road” he said, but was also intending not to tell her everything. If she knew he was involved with Larry, she would be worried again. He didn’t want that, so he thought of lying if she asked further questions.“Went to help someone?” She repeated.“Yes. By the way, what news do you have? Were you accepted?” Harrison asked, pretending not to know what the outcome would be. But then her expression turned sour, signifying there was bad news.“No. I don’t have any good news” she said, frowning, intending to
“Are you going to talk to me in that manner, or you are going to give me a straight answer!” Rachel snapped. There can be no way Caroline could have gotten that partnership right? If so, Harrison would soar higher after getting his hands on that fifty percent profit share. Then that would be her worst nightmare.“I don’t see what’s hard here to understand. I said we had gotten the contract. Caroline did well, and now we have won their favor. Samson's family has now partnered with Sterling Corporation” Harrison said once again.“What? Did you get the contract?” Stephen asked, looking at Caroline to get a confirmation and when she nodded, he felt like slumping to the floor. “This can’t be real, right?” He gasped in shock.“It is, except you are finding it hard to believe? Why don’t you check their Instagram page to confirm? I am sure they must have posted it there” Harrison smirked.Quickly, Stephen pulled out his phone and started surfing the internet. He wanted to see if there was any
“Mother, what do we do? You saw the look in his eyes, right? Harrison is going to be rich and when that happens? He will be on par with us. I am sure you wouldn’t want that” Stephen complained.“I know, and that’s why I have to think of something. I can’t allow Harrison to leave poverty. He deserves to be in it for the rest of his life” Rachel said expressionlessly and Stephen couldn’t help but smile.For the fact that she said she had a plan, he couldn’t help but agree with her. After all, both of them had mutual interests.Ring! Ring!Grandmother was in the line again and quickly Rachel picked up.“Hello Grandmother,” Rachel said quickly.“Rachel, I am hosting a party in the White House to celebrate the good news. Make sure to bring along Harrison and his wife as I will grant them what I have promised” Grandmother said again.“What you promised? But…” Rachel stammered, not knowing if it was advisable to bring up the topic over the phone.“What are you talking about? Speak up once!”
“Do you have to be a prick in times like this? It’s my phone so why can’t I get it back” Harrison shot him a glare.“This is my house and I make the rules. I am entitled to know who you call within this building. Now tell me who you called before I go physical with you!” Stephen sparked. His eyes burned in hatred as he spoke. Though he seemed to be holding something in the leather bag but dropped it by the side to wreck Harrison up.Even though Rachel had warned him not to beat up Harrison yet, Stephen felt he needed to, so Harrison would realize where he should be.“You want to punch me?” Harrison asked with a taunting smile on his lips, knowing there was no way Stephen could win a fight against him. It could take five or six men to bring Harrison down, yet Stephen was getting high on himself, thinking he alone could handle the job.“You think I can’t?” Stephen fumed in anger.“I dare you!” Harrison smiled while pointing his eyes directly at his.“You punk!” Stephen sent a punch at H
“What are you saying, mom? Do you want me to divorce my husband? For what reason?” Caroline gasped in shock, staring widely at Rachel.“Yes! You will soon be rich, and I don’t see a reason to keep that dunce who can’t afford a shoe for you as a husband” Rachel defended her point.“Then I will prefer to be married to that dunce than even think of divorcing him. I love Harrison so much, and I wouldn’t dare to take back the vow I took that day” Caroline was disgusted by such words she was hearing from her mom.Was that the reason Rachel had changed so drastically? Was that the reason that made her have a smile on her face rather than disgust? If so, Caroline preferred to see her frown.“What are you saying? You would prefer to be with someone who brings nothing but bad luck to you?” Rachel was flabbergasted by her reply and was now losing her patience.“He doesn't bring bad luck to you, it’s just that you guys hate him too much to help. He had done nothing wrong. He is your son-in-law but
In a small house down the city, Raymond was seated on the couch with anger etched on his face. He was waiting for Larry to come back, yet the latter wasn’t showing up.Four men were lined up beside him holding guns and having stern looks on their faces. The kind of tension in the air might suffocate someone, let alone their appearance and the kind of aura they give off.Raymond seemed to be their boss, and they were also worried and sickly tired of waiting for Larry.Bang!The door came open, startling all of them as they were almost put to run thinking it might be the police or maybe some dangerous men. The sound was alarming and unexpected. Even Raymond had flipped over the couch and was now kissing the floor.“Dad! Dad!” It was Larry, he came in, panting hard. When the others saw it was him, they sighed, reverting to normal. But then when they looked toward where Raymond was, they were shocked to see him in such a situation.“Such a worthless son! How dare you barge in like a fool”
“You fool, why are you just standing there? Do you want to die?” Raymond yelled at his men, and they were stuck, not knowing if he meant they should fire first or run.However, Larry had already accepted defeat and was lying on the floor crying, seeming to have accepted death. When Raymond saw this, he became angrier.“What kind of useless son do I have? Are you not supposed to figure a way out rather than cowering in fear? How will you surpass me someday” Raymond was disgusted.“What do we do, boss?” The men rushed towards him, forming a circle.“What do we do? We run, damn it!” He replied, frustrated.Bang! Bang!The door was banged twice as a warning sign. Ramon was standing by the balcony while his men were around, about fifteen of them pointing a gun at the door and awaiting his command to open fire.Though Ramon could have mobilized the police and had them arrest Raymond, he wanted to do exactly what Harrison ordered him to do.With all the resources Sterling Corporation has, f
“Tell me where your boss is?” Ramon said with a deadly tone, enough to send shivers, and rather than tucking their heads in, the men stood with their heads up, unfazed.“It will be funny to think we can give out our boss so easily” one of the men replied, smiling.Bang! Bang!Lucas jumped at him with two punches, making sure he had bled his mouth before he stepped off.“You will answer or else you will lose more teeth” Lucas sneered at him right after the man's teeth fell off.The man looked at him in horror, seemingly as though boiled water was spilled on his skin. A lump had grown on his eye socket, and even his lips were bruised.The other man who was captured with him started shivering, knowing he would be next. All he thought was a verbal confrontation, but Lucas didn’t look like he would let this off with mere talking.His fist was still drenched with blood, while his eyes were piercing daggers at the man.Noticing fear had been instilled in them, Ramon came forward to ask again
