“My child, you can't do this to us. Remember you are from this family. My husband took you in, clothed you, and gave you his daughter. Please rethink this.” Grandmother begged, rubbing her both arms together.“Please Harrison, we can all go back to how we were before. One happy family. Please don't do this to us.” Rachel begged. She never thought this day would come when she would grovel on Harrison's feet. Never! Until now, it still felt like after all this was over she would wake up from sleep.“Go back to how we were? Tell me how were we before? Did you even look at me as one of you before?” Harrison picked offense.“Caroline, please talk to your husband. You can't let him do this to us, right?” Rachel pleaded again.Harrison's heart skipped a beat as he thought his wife could have a soft spot for them. Since she was his wife, he respected her more than anything. If she were to plead on their behalf, Harrison feared he might be pushed to do what he didn't want to.“I should talk t
Grandmother sustained so many bruises on her body after rolling on her floor. Her delicate white skin was now stained with dust from the street, while some parts were showing signs of lumps.Her hair was rumpled and had some particles on it. She tried getting up at first, but each step was too heavy for her to do on her own.Seeing this, Rachel wanted to aid her, but the woman pushed her off, having a disgusted expression on her face.“You brought this upon us. If not for you, none of this could have happened. Now I have lost my house, the company, and everything!” She grumbled.“Gra…”“Shut it! Don't you dare say any more words or else I'll make your life miserable?” Grandmother cut her off with a hand pointed at her face.Gulping down hard, Rachel could only pave the way for her to walk off. People were watching and taking pictures, but none of it mattered. Their house was gone. Everything was gone and now for the first time in their life, they were walking on foot down the street.
Linda broke in sweat as she stood close to Grandmother. In such a state, it was harder than she thought. Her head was still banging on the inside, and she was yet to know what the old woman had on her mind.“Where were you planning to go? Follow him? You want to go and enjoy riches and leave us down here?” Grandmother snapped, advancing towards her until she was cornered to the wall.“I didn't mean to…”“You didn't mean to what? I saw you, didn't I? Or are you trying to deny it?” Grandmother cut her off.“Mom, you don't have to be so hard on her like that.” Rachel walked towards them. She couldn't ignore the situation, and the fact that they lost a deal with Edward was still hurting her. All the plans she had now would be led to waste. Her family would be a ruin now.“And who gave you the right to speak to me like that? Is it because I wasn't harsh on you at first? Just wait for it, I am coming for you too.” She snapped, and Rachel quickly tucked her head back in.“I am sorry, grandmo
Harrison gave Ramon a surprised look, and the latter could only smile. None of them expected Caroline would give in after hearing such words from him, it seemed those were the magic words that could have worked wonderfully, but his head hadn’t come up with it yet.Sighing, he followed her, and so did Ramon. They walked into the house and everyone who was waiting could finally welcome them.“Welcome home, young master. Welcome home, young mistress.” They chanted together, bowing their heads down. Hearing this, Caroline nearly turned red. She was always exposed to mockery and was never taken as anyone of high standard ever in her life, but today was different. Not only was her husband one of the richest men in the world but she was also entitled to such respect being offered to him.It was still like a dream she should wake up from, but then it was reality. Who could have thought the house that left her jaws falling was her husband's own? Shocking right? Now she could have the full tim
“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 don’t kn
“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
