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
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,
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 frustratedHe 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
She was hurt that made him have sleepless nights, yet loving her was like the drug he needed to survive.He thought she was the one for him and she could handle his laid-back life until he finally became the man she wanted.But all of that came crumbling when his father died leaving him with a huge debt that could hardly be paid off with his job as the neighbourhood dog sitter.She was his obsession, and he was her nightmare, she was using him for her selfish gains, and all that surfaced when he was in his lowest of all moments.It was their graduation ceremony and as usual, all the elite children came showing their flashy clothes and shoes talking about the big Universities their parents were willing to enrol them at and there was Chris_.In his usual slacks and a worn-out dollar T-shirt, he had bought from the thrift store.As luck would have it or rather as Ill luck would have it the Principal had to announce the death of his father when they all were rushing to the graduation grou
"What are you doing here?" Chris asked with anger feeling his mind, he was filled with this anger because his mother had left him and his father three years ago before his father went into debt."Chris" he called trying to hug his grandson."Don't you dare touch me" Chris shifted, he believed he was the reason his father had gone into debt, at least that was what his father had made him believe.One morning his mother had just opted and left because his father couldn't provide for her materialistic needs anymore.And she had returned to her father's house.From the corner of his eye, Chris could see a woman come out of the room for confessionals and it was iIt Mother.The woman who had left him and his father and now they both were at his father's gravestone."You left us, so what are you doing here?" he asked his mother with no emotions."You need to understand Chris, I did that because of you" Emilia tried to explain to her son who looked so pale and pained."Understand what? That y
The wedding was grand.Chris went for the wedding and that was one of the worst mistakes he could have ever done to himself yet again.It was a grand wedding and was all over the news.He was humiliated and at some point asked to serve drinks as he looked so tattered and unkempt."Who brought this incompetent servant to my sins wedding?" Richards's mother scolded him as he Chris was seated."I am a guest ma'am!" he tried to explain."A guest? Who invited you? 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
