“Hahaha, what are you saying? Do you want to have someone strip me here? Do you want to sexually harass me?” Linda was scared out of her wits. She kept going back after hearing Harrison's words. Did he mean what he said? Why would he order someone to strip someone like her?“Have you forgotten what I was arrested for? Did you or did you not lie to your mother that I harassed you?” Harrison sneered. Since she accused him of such, why not just do what he was being implicated in? Though he had no intention of stripping her, but because she was wearing his wife's clothes, he couldn’t allow her to go like that.“I…” Linda stammered, not knowing what to say.“Did you or did you not? If I remember that day, you were by the window watching how I was being molested, handcuffed, and taken out for your brother to harass me before I was taken to the station” Harrison snapped.“I only did what I had to do,” she replied.“By blaming the young master? Have you no shame? After what you have done, don
Linda felt bruised up as she hurriedly walked out of the elevator. Everyone was now looking at her like a spineless fool or maybe a prostitute. She, who was putting on an expensive dress, now had a jacket draped around her shoulders struggling to run off.Her thighs were almost exposed, and she was trying to draw the jacket down, but the more she did, the more another part of her body would be exposed. She felt confused and thought the only way she could save herself was to run to her car.It wasn’t far but the eyes that were stripping her confidence were making it look like she had a lengthy path to cross.But then now that she was out and almost to her car, she began to think of what to tell her family when she got home. What would become of her if grandmother learned what she had done? It would be a total mess that would bring disgrace upon herself.Hopping on the car, she drove off at a high speed. One would think she was drunk driving, but the actual reason was the fact that she
“Hello grandmother,” Rachel answered quickly. The call came in on short notice, and they became alerted, realizing that grandmother must have known what Linda did.“Did you know what you have done, or I would say what Linda has done? Do you know what this means?” Grandmother yelled over the phone.“I am sorry, grandmother. I just found out about what she did a few mutinies ago. Please have mercy on her” Rachel begged.“Have mercy on her? Don’t you know that we have lost a big opportunity? Sterling Corporation might no longer have a deal with us. I thought I could put hope in your kids but all they do is fail me” Grandmother growled. Rachel could tell they had provoked Grandmother to the core and there was no going back. Without sterling cooperation, Samson's family might not move up in financial status ever again and if this went on for long, then they might even go bankrupt.No company could take expenses and expect to stay stable without making any profit. At the moment, Rachel was
“Are you surprised to see me?” Harrison replied with a smirk. Lucky for him as he walked into Samson's villa he didn’t come across anyone until now. Though Ramon had requested to go in with him, Harrison declined seeing there was no need.“You are out of the cell already?” Stephen sounded shocked but was trying hard to keep his cool. He remembered what he did to Harrison when the latter was about to be tucked into the van by the police.Since what happened to Harrison was all a framework, he didn’t know how to address the kind of feeling he was having. And the fact that Harrison had a taunting smile on his face was the worst of it.“Yes, after your sister framed me for sexually harassing her. It’s not like she is even good-looking. Trust me I would prefer my wife countless times over her” Harrison taunted.“What the heck are you saying? Are you badmouthing my sister?” Stephen raged.“Badmouth your sister? I was the victim here who was molested. I suggest you leave this place, or I wil
“Good. Now have the maids prepare something for her” Harrison said in an authoritative voice that even Rachel had to stay still for a while and looked behind to check whether he was talking to her or not. Sadly, he was talking to her.She felt tied to a nut. Her eyes turned red like she could skin him alive, but there was nothing she could do. Rather, she yelled at the maids who were standing in waiting.“You heard him, didn’t you? Go cook something real quick” she yelled at the maid making them run in their shoes towards the kitchen.If not that it was a direct order from her, none of them would have moved an inch from where they were. Harrison knew that, so he didn’t even try to approach them first.“Wife, come and sit here,” Harrison said after watching the whole thing play out just the way he wanted. Then he directed Caroline towards the couch to sit.Though she was quite unsettled due to the heated eyes on her, Harrison was giving her the strength she wanted. She never expected h
Back inside the mansion, Caroline was still struggling to gulp down the food she was hurriedly eating since she was left alone in the middle of hot stares at her body.Rachel, who saw Harrison leaving, couldn’t help but approach Caroline with disgust carved on her face. She needed to put Caroline back in her place and warn her about what she had done.“Enjoying the food, huh? I’ll see if you’ll do any good in Sterling Corporation tomorrow” she teased, but anger was evident in her voice.“I… I’ll try my best Mom, Caroline replied nervously. Then she choked up on a chunk of meat she wanted to gulp down and quickly reached for a cup of water to get it down, but Rachel grabbed the cup before her.“You don't deserve to use this cup!” She sneered.“Please… Mom… I need water please” Caroline begged. Her eyes had turned red. She needed water to force the lump down her throat but Rachel didn’t look like she would let her have it.“Please? Why don't you use wine instead?” Rachel said with a cha
Harrison stood smiling as he watched them, eagerly waiting for what was going to play out. He knew Linda wouldn’t dare to try such when she knew who he was. She kept looking at him and then back to Rachel, not knowing what to do. If she calls the cops on Harrison, then it would end up terrible for her, but also if she tells Rachel then she might face equal wrath.But then she figured Harrison’s punishment would be worse so she thought of deluding instead.“Mom, with what happened before, are you sure you want to drag the cops into this? If grandmother hears this again she would be more than pissed” Linda was careful as she spoke to not anger both parties. Lucky for her, she was able to address the matter soothingly.However, Rachel, who heard this, could only gulp down. Truth be told that had skipped her mind, but Linda reminded her. If she had acted how she sees fit, then grandmother's wrath would befall on her.“I see you guys don’t have anything to say. If you will excuse me, I’ll
“What the fuck are you doing dressed like that?” Harrison was dumbstruck. He knew Larry to be someone pompous. He always sees the poor as filth, yet he was the same person who was on the street trying to rob a poor man.“You stole my life, you shit. Who could have thought you were some big shot? You took everything from us and even sent us to the street” Larry sneered. Out of anger, he pointed the gun appropriately at Harrison intending to kill him. How hard he suffered all those while, he wanted to vanquish all those hatreds now.He was shot under Harrison's orders, and the latter even had the guts to call off the partnership they had with Sterling Corporation, making their company’s value and profit subside. His dad even resulted in using his shareholder to get some cash, yet Harrison spoiled everything.It had been Harrison ever since that day. It even felt like Harrison would hunt him his entire life after he saw him here again today.“You two know each other?” The old man was awe

“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
