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 work for us" she brought up a lame excuse."And how did that turn out for you?" he raised a question."Well unfortunately your family became bankrupt " she spat."I can't believe this " Richard said wiping his face."Me neither" his wife chimed."Did you know we were bankrupt already? Liana from the footage at the company today you were throwing yourself, Chris, and what if he had accepted he would have slept with you and then fired you on top of that?" Richard shrieked causing her to shift from one leg to another before finally blurting out."You can't blame me, you've barely satisfied me properly with that toothpick in between your legs, and even when you want to you are always in a hurry to go for one meeting or another I couldn't keep up " she shot at him glaring daggers at him as he was looking at her and ready to eat her raw.Richard was not ready for that so when she said what she said he had to do like a double-take." I thought you screamed hard when I hit from the back and told me how much you loved me and would never trade anything, me for anything because I was your everything" he enunciated."To boost your ego of course and also for you to keep spoiling me with the gifts you usually bought me, Yes, I screamed when you used it to commit an abomination on me because whatever it is we have in the bedroom is an abominable act seeing as you can't satisfy me" she spat with no remorse or code to her words. Liana wasn't minding her words, it was like she just had to hurt everyone who had an iota of love for her to get whatever it was she wanted."You can't say this to me, babe, come on!" Richard said going close to her but she moved back. Typical Liana, she just had to play the victim.It was at this point that people could what it was with her that made men just want her around even when she was hurtful and disrespectful towards them."Don't touch me," she said as she faked crying even though she was the one who had been caught seducing the new owner of their former company."What do you mean I shouldn't touch you? You are my wife and I can touch you whenever I want to" he declared even more confused than he was when she began bashing him and calling him out on the sexual intimacy they shared.Richard began to feel his heartache because he began to reminisce about what they had done to Chris back in school and looking at Liana he could see that she had somehow begun to treat him the same way they had treated Chris."Babe let's talk about counseling maybe the doctors could help with my problem I can be able to satisfy just how you like it eh" he said finally getting to touch her and then they shared a kiss.Looking at his face she could sense that he had an aching heart but she was greedy and she had other things to bother about than to begin sugarcoating whatever she had to say."Forget about that right now I just want to know how we are going to get him to give me a part of the company, you know he used to love me," she said looking at her husband."But I thought..." Richard began but was stopped midway."I have to get my way back to his life for us to survive, I can't work remember? I am a sugar baby and men ought to take care of me and not the other way around, I hope your parents find a way around this" she said."But your inheritance is with your Uncle I know you can try getting back right? You are of age and can handle what your parents left for you" Chris tried to make light of the situation not wanting to accept the option she had just given above, how could he let his woman go back to a guy they all mocked while back in school? That was impossible, he had yet to confront his parents about all that had happened and now his woman wanted to leave him for Chris."That's a hard nut to crack somehow he managed to transfer most of the things to his daughter's name as we speak I've got little to nothing to call my own," Liana said."We are doomed""Nope, you are doomed, I have a man who is willing to take care of me remember? Chris used to love me and he will love me even now so you are doomed, you and your family are doomed don't bring the bad luck to me""Chris was right, you are ill luck, I wish I had known," Richard said as she finished her sentence.Coming closer to him she held his collar as though she wanted to give him an embrace but in reality, she had been built to break men when they were not expecting it."In a matter of months, I just might divorce you because as it is, you can't take care of me as you used to and I can't suffer, I need wealth to take care of me and I know exactly what I would do to get what I want," she said then placed a kiss on his forehead before she walked out of the room."For Christ's sake Liana we just shared a kiss" he reminded her."You initiated it" she chimed in."Okay okay, I'll still be working at the company so we can pretend we are having issues and then you try getting him to fall for you right?" he proposed."Richy, we have a problem we aren't pretending you don't have money to take care of me, your affluence era is over ""Let's make this work" Richard begged."Fine," she said and then turned and went out of the room keeping in mind that she was going to have to find a way to get herself and Richard divorced and then she was going to find her way back into Chris's arms.She knew she was going to work and manipulate him the same way she used to when they were back in school as she would make him do her assignments and projects all in the guise that she was going to give him a kiss which he never received.If only she knew whilst she planned her dubious plans, Richard also had his plans of his own which he was going to disclose later and it sure wasn't going to be great for her._________"Talk to me," Chris said into the phone."We've had the tabloid publish your new reign you can turn on the television and you'll see it," his manager said to him."The newest CEO Christopher Llewellyn IV had finally taken over the Evans Group of companies, turns out the family has been dealing with bankruptcy and the only way to solve the problem was for the exquisite Young CEO who graduated not too long ago after his grandfather's footsteps in business..." the reporter chimes on whilst Chris tool a sil of his whiskey and his mother and Grandfather just knew he was going to d great things from then on."Is there a way for me to find a press conference to formally introduce myself?" Chris asked his manager."Yes sir, it is possible for that to happen""Great, then make it work," he said and the two beep sounds of the phone signaled the call was ended."You are going to make a good CEO and I know if I die today I will have left the company in great hands," James said as he looked at his grandson with admiration."Wel,l I guess it runs in the blood, from you to my father I know I learned from the best" Chris replied."You are doing amazing baby, don't do too much, don't talk too much let your actions speak louder than your words okay" Emilia said touching his cheek and kissing him to his cheek.It felt strange having to have the power to destroy a lot of people who had hurt him, he felt a lot of things go through his mind and body as he looked at his mother showed him love and affection, and even gave him advice.Looking to his grandfather he just was shocked that he had met and was working with his grandfather."I need some air," Chris said as he felt anxious and his mind went haywire when he mentioned his father, he loved his father too much so that even after he had accepted his grandfather's offer to build his father's company from the ground and make it stand he just felt he was failing his dad in some type of way.But he knew his father would have been proud of what he had achieved and that was what kept him going through."Yes do you son, take your time," his mother said and Chris went up to his room on the balcony.When it came to love Chris was super far from that, he has just removed the thoughts of love from his agenda which meant there was no hope for him to fall in love with any woman his encounter with Liana was enough to mess up with his mind and he was in no way going to let another bitch ruin his focus.To Chris, he began to see women as his playthings and he wanted it to remain that way and he was not going to force anything."I will make you proud Daddy, and also I'll make sure whoever hurt me and made my life miserable I promise you," he said to no one in particular."Anything bothering the young master?" Arturo asked from nowhere causing Chris to jolt in his seat on the balcony."Damn don't do that," Chris said."Sorry Young master, I knocked but got no answer so I entered, forgive my manners" Arturo apologised."That's fine, I was deep in thoughts for a moment is there anything I can help you with?" Chris asked."No, I rather come here to ask if you wanted any help with something and also to say dinner is served and Senior Master asked to go call you downstairs," Arturo said."Oh Art, I will be down in no time I just need to freshen up, and l be down""You know your grandfather is quite impressed and happy to have you handle his businesses, he has never let anyone have the chance to run the company not even when he is sick and in bed he prefers to work from home, but seeing your work, it sure will be great having you deal with his properties and wealth when he is gone," Arturo said."Thanks, Arturo, I'll be down for dinner soon tell my mother and grandfather, " Chris said dismissing Arturo.As they sat there to have dinner and small talk all Chris could think of was his revenge on the one woman he had loved and given his a to the woman he had thought he would spend his life with and grow with.The Chris of now was a new man and he was going to make sure the world knew who he was he was surely going to leave a mark as he threaded the business realm.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
Taking two steps backwards she screamed first. Then she came closer when she realized it was not an intruder but her beloved husband. "What happened to you? " she asked as she went closer to him. Barely getting a word out he grumbled some profanities before stagerring his way to the bathroom. "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. "Now there's my grandson, how was your day?" James asked as he took a so of the Kennedy he had in front of him. "Are you supposed to
"I don't get it, sir, why would you want Richard back here when he has yet to serve his retribution? " Mark asked as he sat in front of Chris who had just entered the office. It was a busy morning and there were a few meetings to be attended by Chris, Mark Show made it to be his right man at the company because he had saved him from Liana's claws of wickedness the day they found out he was the owner to the company that once belonged to the Evans's. "I've some work I think he should be able to handle" Chris replied curtly. "Can't I handle it,? You know how reckless Richard can be, don't you?" Mark asked with concern. "Yes I do but I want him to handle the job, now excuse me? MARK (He barked) I have work to do and I am very sure you have work to do too" Chris said raising his brow. "Yes sir I do, I'll get back to work now," Mark said and departed to his office. As Chris was on a conference call a notification popped up on his phone so he had to hurry with his meeting. "Oka
"Where are you going to? " Richard asked Liana who had just entered the room and made no effort whatsoever to acknowledge the fact that he was seated on the bed. "Out," she said briefly. "I know you are going out, but why are you going with a suitcase? " he asked as he watched her pack her satchels"You paid for my girl's trip it is only wise I enjoy the money and also we need space, I can't be seen with you, you look like a mess" she complicated his look. (sarcastically of course)"I am sorry I hit you okay Lianaanf about the trip, em, is there no refund policy? I kinda borrowed the money and since I've been laid off was thinking of refunding it whilst I still can" he expressed. For a minute she stood there looking at him shocked and gobsmacked, her emotions being one of utter surprise. "You borrowed the money? " she asked softly as she zipped her bag put it on the floor of the room and rolled it towards Richard. "Yes, I did, and I got an I'm a yesterday reminding me of t
"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
While out on her so-called vacation, it was not exactly a vacation but it was a work trip. Liana had decided to go be an escort at St Barnes. "Do you think your uncle is ever going to give you a share in your parent's wealth? " Alexis asked her friend. "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. "Yeah you are a smart girl, you should be competent enough to make the man pay you for being with him, you are high maintenance," Alexis said. "Right, I mean I have to be so flush and this
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
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,
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
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
"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
