"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left the office he once occupied.Today, it seemed Chris was on edge.He had been annoyed by an investor who had just withdrawn his investment claiming a little bird had informed them that they would not serve them correctly."I need you to do a thorough search of who had the nerve to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 not apologising."What an arse!? She said as she went into Chris's office."Here are the documents you requested sir" she declared."Keep and leave" Without looking up he said.She did as instructed and went off her way.Grumbling as she closed the door too thinking tonjersekf what exactly was wrong with all the males at the office."I think Mr Llewellyn and Richards are at Loggers head I found Richard in a foul mood and the boss in a much more foul mood that he has ever been in" she explains to her colleague who shared the cubicle."You know company policy doesn't allow chatterinh during work hours right? " he colleague responded."But I think Richard deserves what he is getting he was an extremely terrible person, he used to treat us terribly" she continued."Yes now let's get back to work we can't possibly loose our jobs over people who have money than we do" the other woman said as she decided to focus on what was before her."I still think.. ""What do you think? I pay you to work and I would not like to repeat myself again to you" Chris said as he passed without looking but just going.____"That bastard thinks he can take what I had worked for? I can't believe he just spoke to me in such a manner" Richard grumbled."Never, I can't let him do this to me, I deserve this company, why did my parents have to do this to me? " he asked as he paced back and forth in his cubicle."After leaving this place ill get back home to a nagging wife damn" he complained.As he was about to sit at his desk his phone began to buzz"Speak of the devil""Hello? What do you want now? " he asked in a bored tone."I wanted to ask how far you've gone with getting on his nerves at the office and also I need $3000 for shopping" Liana demanded."I am at work and we can't afford $3000 now remember we need all the savings we have now " he reminded her."But I need to stay en vogue you promised to take care of me when we were together" She began to whine but immediately she began her nagging he dropped the call."I pay you to work and not stay on your phone all day remember? " Chris said causing Ruchard to jolt in fright as he could and would not have imagined Chris to be by the door."Sorry, it was a family...""Hush, I don't need the explanation, have you started working on the documents? " Chris asked sternly."Not yet Chris I haven't but ill_""You know I pay you and you have no right to call me Chris to you I am Sir or Mr Llewellyn never you refer to me as Chris if not given the privilege do I make myself clear? " he declared nonchalantly but in his nonchalance, there was a stern vibe added to it."Yes Sir, I will make sure to not make the mistake of calling your_to call your name sir" he replied grudgingly."Good now get to work, don't forget that you have a deadline and it shouldn't be exceeded" he said as he left for his break.Staying back at the office to work when everyone was at lunch was unbearable and having to return home tired to a nagging wife who didn't think of anyone else but herself was what hurt Richard even more and gr made a mental note to go to his parents house immediately after this he couldn't take this.It was super torturous and he didn't think he could put up with what was happening at the office.He felt his masculinity was being insulted but then again he failed to remember the times he and the others had made fun of Chris and humiliated him even before the press and media, how his videos had made rounds because of course he was of a lower class and they all thought he deserved what he was getting.He was not from a respectable home and now that he was the countries biggest tucoon it just made everything seem and looked hurtful to Richard.It was 5 pm and he was done with the document but there was no sign of Chris as he had not returned from his lunch break.Richard decided to take it upon himself to call maybe he could get a location as the conversation they had earlier Chris had said the documents where of great importance and he needed them urgently."I am done with the documents sir and I wish to leave the office as it is just me " he said as soon as Chris took the call."Okay drop in my desk and leave" saying this he dropped the call before Richard could say yet another word."Arsehole" was all he said after the call was ended"

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

"Humph, maybe you can take care of yourself," she said as she walked towards her side of the bed and went to bed with a smile on her face. The next morning... Alarm ringing. With a banging bloodied face Richard jolted from the floor looking at the side of the table in the bathroom the clock showed 8:30 a.m. Meaning he was late for work already. "Jesus Christ," he said as he got up trying to get himself together. "Liana? Baby I need your help" he called out and got to response. "Maybe she is downstairs," he thought. "Conceivably she was making some tea for his hang" he slowly got himself off the floor to clean himself up. He tried to remember what had happened at the bar last night b

"Seems your plans are going even smoother than we thought," Arturo said as he helped Chris with his bag. "Yeah, and to think he thinks he is smarter and wiser than me," Chris said. "So what do you plan to do now? " "Well I've gotten his signature and whatnot it won't be so hard to pin him where I want him to be pinned, " Chris said as he walked down the hall to his grandfather's study. "You sure are smarter than they think you are for sure sir," Arturo said. "Well yeah, I didn't graduate with honors for nothing, my common sense was added into that, and trust me this revenge is best served cold and I am loving it," Chris said as he stood his huge frame blocking Arturo the old man. "I'd like to have a private word with my grandfather now if you'd excuse me," he said. "Very well sir," Arturo said while retreating to where the other guards were.

"You mean to say you didn't read what was written on the document? " George asked his super oblivious friend and stupid as to what he had just done. "Yeah I kinda read the first and flipped through the other pages and the terms were quite lineal as compared to what I could have done to him if it was I who had the opportunity to mess up his life," he said as he took a shot of whiskey. "You realize this guy is a brainiac, he raised his dead father's company in months and has it running as though it had never gotten to debt and you think he will just forget all you and Liana did to him back then in school to let you handle a contract worth millions of his money? " George asked still skeptical about the entire thing. "Well his common sense isn't working yet so he just might lose everything at the end you know he states I could use my name for every single transaction made which means I could at the end of the day claim the property as mine and he will have no proof but the document we

"I have tried my best but he doesn't seem to want to give it to me his children all have what my parents built for me and I am just here barely living from hand to mouth," Liana said as she tugged her hair in a high ponytail. "You should get the police involved" "And how would I get everything done, I need money for all that to get a lawyer and whatnot all the court processes and you know Richy isn't viable with money now, you know he had to borrow this money to have me be here even though it had already been paid," she said with a smile.

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

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.

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
