"Do you think he'll be fine? He has been unconscious for 2 days now" Lily whispered, as she sat on the bed close to Cash.
"He should. The Doctors here are best in their field." Nathan encouraged, trying to uplift her mood."What if the accident damages his brain more?" She quizzed with a sniff."More?""Cash had an accident some years ago that caused his amnesia, I'm worried it might affect it""Uh...that can't happen" he assured."Chairman Malcolm" she whispered, rising to her feet as soon as he walked in with his staffs behind."How is he?""The Doctor said he's responding to treatment" Nathan responded."Still unconscious?"They nodded."Any news on how he got the accident?""He lost control of his car and hit a pole. The cops said he was driving at 200 MPH""What?! Why was he in a hurry?"Lily turned to them. "Permit me to say this but I was with Cash, so"You're leaving already?" Lily whispered."We can't see him anymore, what's the essence of standing here, crying all day? Do you not have work to do? I'll be praying for him in my room" she responded with a sniff.Lily relieved a sigh. "That's true but I can't leave him here"Vivian nodded. "That's fine, you can stay here all you want, I will take my leave now" she cleaned her eyes and walked away."Why do you think she left so suddenly?" Lily turned and asked Nathan."Obvious reasons, she has gotten what she wanted""Meeting him?""Who knows? Are you not going home? It's 9pm already""How did it get worst?" She asked with a sniff."I don't know. Until yesterday, he was responding to treatment, I can't really explain what happened but we have to hope for the best"Staring through his window, few droplets of tears swiveled down her cheeks. She sniffed and cleaned her eyes. "You have to be fine,
Vivian tried to stop the car since they were driving on a highway."Don't worry, Vivian, the brakes are not working" he stated and grabbed a popcorn, while he busied with his game.Kristine wore a frown. "How dare you?""Shouldn't you be happy to hear my voice? Ah, why will you when my ex-wife visited me last night and injected a Lethal injection through my IV" he chuckled and grabbed another popcorn. "You can as well say, I'm a dead man who's only living""What are you trying to do?""Come on, mother! You don't have to sound so rude and don't bother, honey Vivian, the car is locked""Fuck! There's a camera inside the car!""And a tracker""Gosh! You girls are smarter than I thought" he expressed, munching his popcorn. "Where do I start from? You see, mother, the hospital bed is the most comfortable bed you will every lie on. In a world that is filled with so much heat, anger and hatred, the mortuary is your get
"Uh....that was really as much fun as I thought" Nathan broke out as they continued packing their stuffs."Who cares? I had fun and that's all that matters""Damn! That was a good one. You come up with the best of ideas. Only if Chairman Malcolm had at least 5% of what you know, there wouldn't have been any need to send you away"Jason smiled and continued packing. "Did you invite anyone?" He asked, wondering who was knocking on the door."Yeah, some food""What?!""I'm hungry, I don't know about you""Who the hell is the delivery man? Does he not know he's supposed to ring and not knock? By the way, why can't he drop the food and leave?""They treat their customers as kings""Then what are you waiting for? Go get the door!""Ouch!" He exclaimed, holding his stomach. "Sorry, I have to use the toilet now"Jason scoffed, standing upright. "Really? But you've been here the whole time!"
"Tell me already, who??""Her name is SP"Nathan wrinkled his brows, restarting the car. "Stella Paris?!" He screamed out.Jason flinched. "What the hell....who's that?""I don't know, it just matched the initials"He sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. "That was an awful guess though""Lily's name starts with L, Vivian's name starts with V. Who could it be? Tell me already!"Jason smiled. "Stock prices"Nathan made another abrupt stop, matching his brakes like he was about to hit an old woman. "What kinda name is that?""No, I'm in love with my stock prices""Are you fucking serious, right now?"He nodded gently."Argh!!!" Nathan cried out, hitting his head on his steering."I can't wait to see her bloom like a beautiful flower in spring!" He exclaimed, spreading his arms wide opened. "Well, I want to see her bloom but without the 'L'"Nathan lifted
"Mr Grey?" Nathan whispered. He rose up to his feet and scurried towards him. "What are you doing? Are you a lawyer?"He nodded and moved forward to the Police officer. "I'm Mr Grey, his lawyer""Great! Mrs Vivian wishes to sue you to court and send you to jail"Jason chuckled. "Do you even know who I am?" He asked, still laughing."Jason Yates, Grand son to Chairman Malcolm and the heir to Yates Consortium?" The Officer scoffed and continued. "You are nothing before the law"Mr Grey dropped his briefcase noisily on the table, catching the attention of the Police officer. "I will take it from here. I need to speak to Mr Jason privately" he requested.The police officer smiled, tapping his nails on his table. "I object""Mr Rocky is it?" Grey asked, reading out his name from his identity tag. "I wish to speak to Mr Jason""You have a hearing in three days time" The police officer announced and walked away.
The Judge stroke the gavel against a hard surface which signals for order and quiet in the courtroom. "Call an ambulance or the nurses. We shall continue after recess" The Judge announced."What?! He's awake!" Someone from the public announced, pointing his finger at the Attorney's desk.Mr Grey rose to his feet, dusting off his pants and shirts.Nathan relieved a sigh. "Ah, Jeez! How can we trust someone who gave up on his career 2 years ago?!" He complained to Jason."I'm sorry, Your Honor, I feel unconscious for a while after taking my meds, it's an after-effect. I'm fine now" he assured.They all took their seats, a bit assured."Your Honor, I will love to share my presentation using visuals and solid evidence""Go on"He walked up to the projector and connected his laptop to the Projector and returned his seat. He turned on his laptop and opened a slide presentation. "You see, Your Honor, on the d
The agreed date of the hearing finally came and both teams were ready for the war.Jason adjusted his suit as he admired himself at the long mirror before him. Nathan patted his shoulders a little and adjusted it. "What other surprise awaits us today?""Is our success gonna come as a shock to you?""Not one bit" he responded, shaking his head."Let's go" he whispered.As they arrived outside, Mr Grey stood by his car, waiting for them. "Good day, Mr Jason" he greeted, opening the door for him to enter his car."Hello Mr Grey" Jason greeted with a bright smile.****"I did not consider you as someone who holds on to people for long" Vivian stated at the sight of Mr Grey behind him."Why? Because we divorced?"Nathan folded his lips, stifling his laughter, following Jason behind as they walked into the courtroom."I hope you have taken your medications and drank enough water?" The Judge asked Mr Grey, immediately he took his seat.Mr Grey smiled and nodded. "Yes, Your Honor""Let's beg
Jason smiled, of course he was bound to win. He gave Mr Grey a thumbs up and walked up to his grandfather."Congratulations" he whispered with a smile."Thank you Chairman Malcolm" he greeted with a little bow."Great job, Nathan" he commended."What?" Nathan chuckled and continued. "Mr Jason did all the work but thank you, sir"Chairman Malcolm smiled and walked away."Whoa! Congratulations, Mr Jason, didn't expect you to pull that off" Nathan congratulated.Jason chuckled. "Thank you, Lily for accepting to be my witness""Oh, its nothing. Congratulations, Mr Jason."He smiled and nodded.Vivian scoffed, walking up to him. "I guess I undermined your capabilities. When did you grow to be this smart, Cash?"Jason laughed as they walked out of the courtroom. "Cash is not smart, he doesn't know what it takes to be smart but Jason is because for a little while, he spent some time with someone who has a dangerous mindset"Vivian frowned, she didn't find it funny. "You don't have to brag af
