"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."Okay, guys, that's a wrap, I'll make sure the funds are sent, this project must not fail, or else you all know what to expect, " he said after an hour on the call causing chills to run down the spine of the contractor who was on the other end of the computer.Taking his phone it was a notification of the scandal the couple had created the night before."Typical Richard and Liana," he said shaking his head before his phone rang revealing his mom's name."I am busy" was his reply on the call."Talk to me with respect boy I am still your mother and you listen to me," Emilia said.Ever since she had upped and left his dad and himself? It had been a rollercoaster of emotions and right now was no exception.Chris still resented his mother and didn't want to have a relationship with her even after her many attempts to make amends.He believed if she had stood her ground and disobeyed her father to fight through thick and thin with his father, his mother would have helped morally and made his father better than he was but now, all he saw of his mother was a figment of pretense as though she didn't care about him."Did you hear me? " her voice resounded on the other end. Somehow he had zoomed off and she had been talking all alone for the past two minutes."No, I didn't come again? " he questions about what she had been saying."Can you make it early to dinner tonight, I made your favorite" she squealed excitedly on the other end of the call."How did you know my favorite food? " he asked."Like I said Chris I am your mother and I prepared this for you when you were younger_. " she began explaining.Rubbing his temples he cut her mid-sentence."Yeah, I loved it then but my preferences changed after you left so maybe you could have dinner with someone else I have a lot of work today and might work overtime" he explained."But Chris, _? " he ended the call, he wasn't going to fall for the emotional blackmail of every mother who began crying to their children saying they were hard on them, of course, he had to be hard on her, she had left when things were bad, and no matter how many times she told him it was for the betterment of their lives it fell on deaf ears and he still had not found it in him to forgive her for never showing up even once after she left.No anonymous calls or letters for his birthday or any important occasion of his life.His father had tried to maneuver those days even with the problems he was facing with his dying company."Enough of the soliloquy" he scolded himself and delved into what was in front of him. WORK.That was the main priority and nothing else.But his member needed some attention and maybe he could get some action tonight so he called Arturo."Yes Young master" Arturo answered the call."I want some action tonight and you know what to do right, prepare the penthouse and make sure she is blindfolded when coming and even after she is leaving can't risk visitors who aren't supposed to be in my space" he reminded."Yes sir, should I inform the chef to prepare anything nice or it's just the knacks and go? " Arturo asked."Whatever you think could sway this money-hungry female, Art, and also make provision for £1000, that will be her payment after all is done, at 7 pm I'll be at the penthouse," he said and hung up.After a few hours of attending meetings and answering calls, Chris had one last important email to send. And he chose to do this on his own not involving his secretary because he wanted every bit of whatever message he was sending to be passed accordingly."You are required to return to the office tomorrow at 8 am sharp nothing and no excuses should be made else you won't like what will become of you" he sent the message and that was his cue to turn off his laptop.He had been working all day and had forgotten to eat.Chris remembered at some point in the day his secretary had pompously bought him something to eat.Although he had become somewhat hardened there was a soft spot in him, he was still the old Chris just with different goals at the moment and till his goals and revenge had been fulfilled he was not going to stop being the ruthless bastard he had heard a few persons call him.He took the pack of lunch she had bought and microwaved it he sat back on his desk wondering how it would have been if indeed he had a civil and cordial relationship with his mother.Would things have been different or not? He asked himself questions that were far-fetched from being answered by anyone at all.Alas, the microwave food went uneaten as he got up took his blazer, and was off to his penthouse at the far end of town.When he got there he was straight to the point she wanted small talk and wanted to get to know him better.Typical women like Liana are always willing to make men think they love them whilst it's just the money they are interested in."Get to work, that is why you were called here," Chris said in a deep baritone voice that was somewhat hoarse."Okay sir," she said thinking she was seductive but he was kinda of bored before she could finish unbuckling his belt he held her hands."Don't bother I'll do the unbuckling and could you stop doing the creepy stuff you are doing? Stop licking your lips over and over you look like a dog or some animal" Chris said bluntly causing the young woman who thought she was being spicy to be taken aback."I didn't know it offended you, I am sorry" she apologized for it.She felt bad and Chris although his expression was not shown felt terrible for saying such to her but deep down he didn't want to apologise he knew if he did apologize it would be some sort of shortcoming."Oh fuck" he moaned as he pounded into her ass."A little slower sir" the lady cried out but he was too engrossed at the moment for that all he saw whilst fucking her was Liana as he ramped his member into her he felt fulfillment and he knew he had punished her somehow.When Chris was done he left her on the bed and took a shower adding £1000 to the initial payment and left whilst giving firm instructions of how she was to be taken back to wherever she was taken.He went home.Opening the door and making his way to his room a voice stopped him."You know I thought you would show up for dinner even after you hung up abruptly on me," Emilia said her words a little slurred as she came closer to him with a bottle of wine and glass in hand."I had a lot to do at the office Mother" he replied taking a few steps up the stairs."Or maybe you were at your penthouse with one of your whores" she chimed as she took yet another gulp of her wine."You need to rest, you've been drinking too much, is that even good for your health? " he asked as he slowly came down the stairs, he was a little remorseful, he could see the table from a few feet and it was filled with food, the food he loved when he was younger.The food he would have killed for when she was around, he would have eaten over and over and would have wanted a refill nonstop."Come on now, you need to rest," he said as he held her hand and took her up the stairs to her bedroom he laid her in bed and then went out to look for the maid."Gertrude, could you go into my mother's room and make sure she is fully clean and changed into some sleepwear and also keep that food in the refrigerator, or however you choose to preserve it tomorrow you could take it to the town where the less privileged are and share to them okay? " he gave orders and retired to his room.It had been a long day.______"You have three weeks to refund the money you took" Richard read the email over and over. Unsure of how he was going to raise £3000 in three weeks, his father was mad at him which was understandable because they were managing a crisis and yet he had aggravated the situation by being arrested and making the head news in the tabloids.As he was about to swallow the first email another email emerged.Another pinged,"You are required to return to the office tomorrow at 8 am sharp nothing and no excuses should be made else you won't like what will become of you""Maybe I will get my job back?" He paced the room up and down."I'll make sure this bastard pays for making me beg like a beggar while he barks orders at me," he said as he looked at the email cursing at Chris under his breath.Just then Laina entered the room."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
Back in town, Chris went to the office awaiting the reports from Richard who had begun the work on the construction site. He was still in a little daze haven found that Liana now did runs and escorts for a living was somewhat disturbing to him. Being ruthless now didn't make him evil to see the woman whom he once loved. He was disturbed on his private jet back to New York so much so that he didn't let out a word. If he had wanted to he would have slept with her to rub it into Richard he had gotten back with the woman who had hurt him terribly when he needed her. But he held himself, besides his company and work were more important than a few minutes of pleasure. Since he came back he had gone to his father's company just to check how things were going and it had been a week so he had not heard from Richard yet. He had wanted him to make the call, yes he had given Richard the work but there was something grave in store for him. Having to see the kind of transactions he had ma
Going back home as he put the key in the door knob he knew from the mess he met on the stairs Liana was back"Hey boo, I came home and you weren't around, were did you go to?" she asked. "I called you numerous times and everything went to voicemail, why didn't you reply to my messages? " Richard countered her question. "Babe I was on vacation and you can't expect me to be with my phone 24/7 right? " she said walking slowly to his side. She knew his weak button and knew how to manipulate that. "But you were posting on Instagram right? " he asked as she pushed him to the bed. "Well for your eyes, I knew you were following my fees, and oh boy the house looked pristine and I also saw a chef when I arrived, do we have money now? "she asked placing kisses on his neck and chest undressing him slowly. "Well kinda, Chris kinda gave me a contract to follow and I think it will work to my advantage," he said helping he out of her bra exposing her perky breast. "We, you mean not jus
"He sent back the money in full remember I told you I could never trust him"But you know you are risking a lot just for revenge master" "Oh come on, I just wanna have some fun seeing him and his wife pay for what they did to me, especially Richard who made it a thing to insult me morning and night whilst we were in school""But isn't that extreme? ""Allow me to think of what is and isn't extreme," he said and cut the call. _____"Sir every year Sir James Llewellyn usually hosted a fundraising charity ball for the underprivileged," His secretary said as it was almost that time of the year. "When is this to hold? " "In three weeks time sir," she replied. "You should know what is required of you right? So go ahead and do it invite everyone who has to be in attendance " he said as he twirled in his seat. "Yes sir" she replied and turned to leave when he stopped her. "Get me lunch Please," he said and she smiled as she accepted to do so. "The same you ordered last time" he rem
Early that morning there was a commotion at the reception which caused Chris to leave his seat to find out what was happening. "What's happening here? " he asked as his secretary was trying to stop Liana from entering the office. "I am here to see you but she wouldn't let me because I haven't gotten an appointment with you! " she explained as she turned to face Chris with the skimpy dress she had on exposing her boobs. "Let her come in," he said as he turned to enter the office just shaking his head. Liana thought she had finally succeeded because he just asked her to come in. "You see, I told you there would be no problem, don't be surprised you lose your job because of this" she mocked. "Hi Chris, you know I want to thank you for not making that secretary of yours think she could embarrass me," she said as she shook her chest even more. "I don't get it, what do you want Liana it is Mr. Llewellyn to you and every other person working under me or a client" he emphasized. "
"You'd have to leave that bastard of a man if not I'll make your life and his life a living hell and I know you wouldn't want to have to deal with such" her father said to her. "But I have a son, they need me, if I can't be for them who would be for them? " she cried as she spoke to her father who was void of emotions. "The choice is yours, I never wanted you to marry out of our clique, to begin with, so whatever happens to you and your dumb husband would be solely on your head, and trust me, I know what to do and you wouldn't dare disobey your father, would you? " "My son needs me, he is young and would need a mother won't you like for him to meet with you his grandfather, and learn of how great you are to society? " she urged further trying to buy some time and to make sure she was not about to take a decision which would hurt those she loved. "You have till the end of today to make up your mind else I'll disown you I should have done so a long time ago when you got married to a
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
