Even though they had everything, Emily still yearned for more. Two months after her father's funeral, Emily decided to take care of herself and spare her son the burden of having to handle everything.

Her son had brought her late husband's business back to life, so perhaps she could take over.

This may be her way of fortifying her relationship with her husband in exchange for simply leaving, as she did years ago.

She was by herself in her room, saying to no one in particular, "I will wait for Chris to return from his business trip."

Two days later.

When Chris got home, his face was disappointed.

He attended a somewhat challenging meeting because his business partner was very challenging to work with because he wanted more than what Chris had shown and explained, which made him feel even more worn out and frustrated

He went straight to the shower took his bath and left for his office that late just to get some work done.

Chris felt like he saw someone running off when he arrived at

You stink and you look so unkempt you can't even be considered a servant" Mrs Evans was repulsed by the sight of Chris."Wait_hold up" he heard Liana's voice and thought she was coming to liberate him from the insults he just received."Well, what are you waiting for? Search him, he could have stolen from someone here" Liana said with a smirk on her like as she looked at Vhurs who was now confused."I didn't steal anything!" he was scared as two men who were huge pinned him down the guests took out their phones to make some video

    Shocked by this response the patriarch had only one thing to do."Arturo get me out of here," James asked to be wheeled out of the room as he avoided having high blood pressure and subsequently dying before they finally made amends."Chris, what do you mean by No?" Emilia came close to her son's bed to ask as she was in confusion too.Any other person would jump at that offer, hell She would jump on the offer but as the men would have it they always wanted male heirs and never a female to run the empire reason why her father chose her son over her.She was not jealous of her son, never she could ever be, It was for the benefit of them all if he inherited his grandfather's wealth and became the fourth in streak.That way he would be called Chris Lewellyn IV but he seemed stubborn."I want to do this by myself, I don't want to be like my classmates whose parents handed them everything on a platter, I don't want to have to betray others because I think I have the power, and also I want t

    It had been a week after Chris's outburst and still, he had not accepted to go to his grandfather's company and he hadn't given them an answer yet.Here he was standing in front of Evans's group of companies with a folder in hand.As he walked through the halls of the building he kept thinking if he was doing the right thing.Was he indeed going to ask for his rival, an enemy for a job?"Good morning sir, How may I help you!" the receptionist asked glazing the atmosphere with a beautiful smile causing Chris to come out of his dazed state. "I am here to apply for the post of driver," he said looking around the building. This came as a shock to the receptionist because she could swear that Chris looked like the old boss's twin."Oh okay sir, Mrs Evans just stepped out but she will be back in thirty minutes, You could just sit on the bench and wait for her," the receptionist said"Thank you" was all he said as he sat on the bench.This was a mistake, this was a mistake, was all his min

    I can't believe this!"His company? What does he mean by his company? Answer me, Richard!" Liana screamed at her husband who had packed his things and now they were back at home."You don't get to scream or tell at me when you were trying to frolic with this same scumbag" Richard shot back. "How could you Liana? After everything I've done for you, if Mark didn't see you trying to frolic with him and intervened when he did, you should have been behind bars now for false accusation" he shot his eyes red from anger.For a moment Liana was quiet but being shameless she regained her composure. When his parents had called him to say they had to do what they did to save themselves from bankruptcy, Richard had thought it was a joke but looking at how things were at the moment, there was no joke and welp his beloved wife had thought it wise to seduce the new owner."It ain't what you think Richy, I just was trying to see if he had the hots for me to tell him to keep it in check if he got to

    One month later"I need those files on my table before 5 and no later than that," Chris said to Richard who had messed up a file he gave him to work on. "I thought... " he began to say but the curt look given to him by Chris was enough to shut him up. "I am sorry sir, I'll make sure it is on your table in no time," he said as he reluctantly left the office he once occupied. Today, it seemed Chris was on edge. He had been annoyed by an investor who had just withdrawn his investment claiming a little bird had informed them that they would not serve them correctly. "I need you to do a thorough search of who had the nerve to say such about my company to my top investor, he will pay," Chris said to Arturo who hurriedly got into work. Grumbling Richard almost bumped into the Secretary who was taking another file to Chris. "Why can't you watch where you are going? " Richard yelled at the poor lady who was trying to pick up the documents that had fallen to the ground. He walked away

    While back at home Richard was in for what anyone would call hell as he got in. "Li, why are you crying, he asked as he got close to his wife who was crying on the vanity table. She didn't answer but kept sobbing hard. "Did my dad say something to you? Richard asked yet again no reaction at this point he let out a sigh going close to touching her but his hand was yanked away. "Don't touch me, you are the cause of all of these," she yelled. "How do you mean? " he asked in an exhausted tone while sipping his face from the people of sweat which had tickled down. "My friends are off to an all-girls paid trip by their husbands while I am here, sitting in front of my vanity set, I don't know what I am doing with you, because you keep hurting me by not providing for me," she said in between sobs. "Baby, you know why we can't afford trips now, I am the only one working and you depend on me our lifestyle of before can't be the same as now" he explained yet again. "But you promi

    It's okay to grieve!

    Two days had passed since Chris's grandfather's passing, and the family found themselves immersed in the sombre task of planning his funeral. Chris, though grieving himself, took on the responsibility of assisting his mother and others in organizing the arrangements. They had no other family since his grandfather when young had run away from home. And had decided to make a name for himself and that was a story Chris wouldn't want to go back to Together, they meticulously chose the venue, selected the readings, and decided on the music that honoured his grandfather's life.His grandfather was somewhat a Gillian but living with him at this point made it great to know that he was loveable, the only thing that had curbed that great heart of his was a story Chris would have loved to hear but his grandfather had just died and that story would be farfetched from him. As they gathered to bid farewell to their beloved patriarch, Chris couldn't shake off the concern he felt for his mother,

    Pains!

    Liana stormed into Chris's office, her heels clicking loudly against the polished floor. Her eyes blazed with determination as she faced him across his desk. "Chris, I've had enough of your games. You know exactly what I'm capable of, and if you don't start cooperating, you'll regret it."Chris leaned back in his chair, unfazed by her theatrics. "Oh, Liana, always so dramatic. What is it this time? Another empty threat?""You think I'm bluffing?" Liana shot back, her voice rising. "I have evidence that could ruin you, Chris. You'd be wise to listen to me."Chris raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. "Is that so? And what evidence might that be, pray to tell?"Liana faltered, her confidence wavering for a moment. She hadn't expected Chris to challenge her so directly. "Well, it's... it's..." She trailed off, searching for the right words, but they eluded her.Chris chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Save your breath, Liana. I'm not intimidated by empty threats

    "I'd like to think this news you've brought here sir should be used diligently as we have to mess up even with the whites!" Arturo said as Chris explained what had just happened. "I know she has some sort of personal grieve with Richard's father and somehow that's why she is focused on the son before getting to his father, somehow hurting the kid gets to his father, Richard is the only son and deserves to be... You know worthy of their family name not bring it down, it's just hurtful that his father has to witness this wholeheartedly not knowing what to do""Do I feel a flex of pity in your vocals? " Arturo questioned. "That's too much, I can't let their problems bother me that much, I'll have to diligently mess with them so bad they won't be able to look me in the face when everything is done" he smacked. "But you are human sir, these things ought to chike you a bit from time to time, it somehow seems you've forgotten about your dad as you have focused so much on things tha

    "So trying to kill her at that time didn't happen so what do you want to do now? She has nothing anymore" Mr White spoke as his wife was bent on wanting to hurt Liana more. "You shouldn't try talking about your whore that way, don't forget that you have somehow hurt me and you just might be next" "But I've apologised Evelyn, how else would you want me to deal with you, if you kill me right now what would be the change of what you've done? You practically removed me from the company and almost all my friends now know I don't own anything but you" White said to his wife. "Don't you think that's the best punishment for you right now, do you want me to tell the world of the charade and lowlife family you came from? " Evelyn said as she walked closer to her husband but as she was about to say something to her husband Chris cleared his throat. "What if the police do find this case what would you do? Because they're still looking for the person who wanted to hurt her remember? And

    "Then you should have refused me goddamn" she screamed through the bathroom door. "I thought we just made up Liana, come on, what we had yesterday was enough to salvage our falling relationship come on," he said clamping his face in his hands. "I don't want to be stumped with you and poverty-working under Chris one lost my properties to him can you take them back? If you do then for sure I'll make sure aw work on our marriage" she said through the door. Standing behind that door all she felt was excitement and a little pleased Richard still wanted her but she had to make sure she was not interested in any of these things and she wanted them to break up before anything. "Liana, from all you've seen Chris is smart and with the way he works I or you can't delve into him so what the hell are you doing?" he asked. "But you work for one of the companies, right? He gave you all the rights of that company besides as you work there you could make that building yours sheesh, do I hav

    A lil bit of what the hell!

    Liana and Richard's relationship had been tumultuous for the past few months, teetering on the edge of divorce. The tension between them often revolved around financial issues, with insults flying back and forth like verbal daggers. Despite Liana's determination to end the marriage, there lingered a strange sense of longing beneath the surface. Somehow she wanted Richard that night hence she went in for the kiss to which he was somewhat waiting although she could sense he pulled back for a minute when she initiated the kiss. Three to four months of distance and disagreement, murder attempt, hurt, pain, difficulty and whatnot retained Liana feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. Yet, amidst the turmoil, there remained a flicker of unresolved desire for Richard. Despite her efforts to push him away, she couldn't shake the memories of their shared intimacy.On this particular night, as Liana found herself alone in the dimly lit room, where he had somewhat been looking for whate

    Could this be love or a prank?

    "Hey mum," Chris said as he walked into the room where his grandfather was lying facing the screen. "Hey son, how has your day been? " she asked as she hugged her son and then turned to her father. "It's been okay, just watched the news you bought a new company," she said as she looked at him at the side-eye. "Mum I just wish to be able to own lots of businesses before my legacy runs out look at Grandpa smiling," he said as his grandfather looked at him with a small smile. "I know son, why did you decide to choose Liana's company, it could get a lot of things wrong and you know this," she said as her dad held her hand. "I know mum I just want the problem to en-suite, there's always a plan mum," he said "Has Granddaddy taken his medicine? " he asked with the potential to change the topic at hand. "Yes, he has " Emily replied and a different conversation started talking of different things and how the businesses he had been handling had gotten so overwhelmingly well that at

    He sat on the bar chair having some thoughts to himself as he was going to have to pay off the debt he had taken and also the stress he was going through with his parents his dad was yet to give him some space into the family. Hearing the vocal stated his wife had been arrested and he was somewhat the one who had picked up the call since she jas been giving numbers. "Okay I will be down there" he answered in a shaken voice. Maybe this was going to make him get closer to her. The little money he had with j could help bail her off. After getting to the cell he had just left the phone with his lawyer asking if it was right. His Lawyer was somewhat able to convince him it was okay, I mean that is after talking to his boss Chris. After letting her out of the cell she didn't look excited to see him as he expected his heart hurt but anyway maybe their relationship was like that. "You better don't hurt her as you leave," the officer said as his case for wanting to hurt his wife was a
