His Redemption

A little game won't hurt!

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 mind kept singing.

He knew he was wrong for coming here but his stubbornness wouldn't let him accept his grandfather's offer. He wanted to prove a point.

But wasn't he doing that to the wrong people?

If he accepted to be the CEO of Lewellyn's corporate high wouldn't he be richer than Evans?

Before they could stand up to leave Mrs Evans walked it and it was none other than... Well, you guessed it LIANA.

Looking all dolled up and excited to be rolling in money.

"Oh, you finally came?" she asked in a mocking tone.

"Good morning Mrs Evans" Chris greeted formally.

"Oh cut the Mrs., you could call me Liana remember? You used to call me Liana" she said laughing so hard before ushering him into her office.

Once in her office Chris placed his documents in front of her but she tossed them away asking for something else.

"I want you to fuck me, Chris," she said her eyes filled with ardour.

"Excuse me?" Chris asked as he shifted in his chair and got away from her.

"I'll pay you handsomely to take you off poverty, you will be able to pay off your father's debts and maybe raise his company from the shambles it is in," she said.

"I can't do that and besides you've been married for just a month" he reminded her.

"You don't need to remind me of that you wimp, I've always known you were a coward, This is an opportunity to rise from the slumps yet you are refusing to do the needful, How dumb can you continuously be?" she asked sending him to lay back on the sit he was on.

"I think this was a bad idea, I don't need the job anymore" Chris tried to leave but she threatened.

"If you take a step I will scream and accuse you of sexual assault and you would like what my husband will do to you, you know money and influence do a lot of things to paupers like yourself!" she said smirking.

Torn between his morals and life he chose his morals and made for the door when Liana tore her blouse and screamed for help.

"What are you doing? I didn't touch you, Liana come on, I didn't touch you at all, stop this madness" Chris begged but she stopped screaming and holding him to her and as he tried to push her off him he felt onto of her just in time for the security to enter then office and apprehend him

The security came in and she began with her framed story when Mark a good friend of Richard came forward with the video he had just made of the attacks from Liana throwing herself on Chris.

"What do you mean Mark?" She tried to shut him up and have a private conversation with him as the cops came but Mark wasn't having it.

"This man standing before you is the grandson of James Llewellyn III and he owns if not all of the company but a great share of it!" Mark explained causing Liana to gasp.

"What do you mean Mark?" she asked as she wasn't understanding what was going on.

"Well I want you to meet Christopher Anthony Llewellyn IV, owner of this company, your husband is just a handler and not the owner" Mark forged ahead.

Just then Richard was coming into the office.

"Richard, what is happening here? You told me your parents owned this company, and you used to shower me with a lot of gifts " Liana asked as she went to Richard hoping she would be awakened from this bad dream.

"It's true," Richard replied with a tired look.

"I've come for us to pack our things because we have been demoted" Richard explained to his wife.

"But the gifts? The grand wedding, your parents?" Liana asked now tears feeling her eyes, she had refused to further her education to master because she thought she had hit the jackpot now what was this?

"It was to lure you to marry me, all of those things the wedding was a loan my parents took from Mr. James Llewellyn III and we have to work to pay off that loan, my dad sold this company to James Llewellyn III and there is nothing we can d,o" Richard said as he cleared his desk leaving Liana confused and Chris standing behind trying to contain his smirk.

(A few days back)

A few weeks after her wedding, Liana had called Chris to her office and had tried to frame him and that had caused him to make a decision.

She had claimed he stole her watch.

He was uncuffed and the officers asked Liana to apologize to him, but she insisted she was going to do so privately after they left.

As luck will have it Chris left that office and never returned with a firm determination in mind.

This particular woman had meant to kill him and there was no way in hell he would allow her to go scot-free That was the last straw that broke the camel's rear.

As he got into the Uber he had called he thought of the possibility of being apprehended for something he didn't do, having to spend time in jail for something he didn't do, and having Liana laugh and mock him because he had nothing!

Chris knew he had to stop her from taking advantage of the poor and less privileged and she was going to pay for the embarrassment she made him go through.

He made a mental note to thank Mark who had saved him from his foolishness of going to Evan's group of companies he knew without that little footage he would be wallowing in jail now.

As he got home he was welcomed by Arturo at the door.

"Where is my grandfather?", he asked those words with so much determination that even Arturo knew something huge was about to happen.

"At his study young Master," Arturo said with a bow a sign of respect that had been instilled in all of them as workers of the great James Llewellyn III.

Chris took long strides as he made it to the study door he gave three knocks and was asked to come in.

"Ah! What brings you here Chris?" James asked his grandson with a smile.

"I've accepted the offer and I would like to be your next of kin," Chris said.

James wasn't surprised because he knew his grandson would come around and whatever had promoted this change called for celebration.

"This is happy news and honouredonored you have accepted my proposal," James said.

"So what do I have to do, do I need to sign anything?" he asked.

"Yes, of course, you've got to sign that you've finally taken everything from me and you are now the official head of Llewellyn cooperate High," James said.

Making this decision Chris knew he was going to make Liana pay and she was going to beg for mercy and yet it would come that easy to her, she was going to pay.

And he meant every word he had just said.

First of the plan was to go back to the company to reapply for the job, he knew Liana was going to try to play a fast one still, the night before because of a debt Mr Evans owed James he had agreed to sell his company and that company was bought under Christopher's name.

But the best of it all was, that nobody knew it was him, he was going to shock every one of them and make sure they worked under him.

"I like the new you and I know I would not regret choosing you as an heir to my empire" James told his grandson.

"I am doing this for my father and all the less privileged out there who keep getting tossed away because of their situations and positions in life" Ch,ris said.

"I am proud of who you have become", his mother said as she joined the celebration.

(Back to Reality)

Mark explained that Liana also threw herself in him and he refused to frolic with her. She had promised to jeopardize his relationship with Richard.

"You did what?" Richard asked surprised as he looked at his wife.

"We would talk about that later" Liana said as she was yet to understand what was going on.

"Hey, Mr And Mrs Evans respect yourself, this is a workspace" Chris chimed in and Liana could see her doom in his eyes.

"Richard your dad still owes me so you know you've got to work to pay it off?" he asked.

"Yes I know" Richard responded inaudible.

"Well I didn't hear you well" Chris asked him to be audible.

"Yes sir, I know" he replied.

"Good now get to work" Chris said urging him to back his things.

"Seems you are the ones left with a huge debt to pay now don't you see?" Chris said causing Richard to grumble.

"Don't think you are now the God of us all" Richard snapped.

The security guards were almost hitting him when Chris stopped them.

"There'd be time for that, as of now just pack your things to your desk," Chris said.

Seeing that she wasn't getting any luck with her supposed claims, Liana turned to the officers who had been called on-site for the arrest.

"Officers my team and you would like to settle this amicably" Liana said when she found that she was on the wrong and there was no way she could send Chris to jail for the supposed sexual assault on her.

"Officers it's okay, She doesn't need to apologise to me," Chris said those words venom spewing off with each word as he looked dead into her eyes.

Deep down Liana knew those words meant more than what they portrayed but being who she was she couldn't let him win was a poor man who deserved nothing but the unpleasant things of the world.

"Look Chris I am sorry, I didn't mean to_!!" she was cut mid-sentence.

"Mr Christopher, to you and every employee, now you may continue clearing your desk and going to be one of my workers" Chris said.

"Mark, thank you for being a trusted employee" Chris thanked Mark who was Richard's best friend but at this point, it wasn't certain if they were best friends still.

"Liana, you will be my PA and that's if you want if not you leave this premises and never return," Chris said.

"Yes sir" she replied.

"And Richard I need all the files for the merger with Tea Estate on my desk, Liana I want you to prepare a press conference as soon as possible, the world needs to know I have ascended my seat as the owner of MY COMPANY" he said as he smiled.

All of this was like a dream to Liana and Richard his parents had informed him the night before that the company had been sold but he never imagined in his wildest dreams it would be to his enemy.
