His secretary had put in work for sure.The hall for the elite charity ball hosted by Chris Llewellyn was an exquisite sight to behold. The grandeur of the venue was unmatched, adorned with luxurious decorations and intricate details. The room was bathed in a soft, golden glow emanating from the intricately designed chandeliers that hung from the high ceilings. As the guests arrived, they were greeted by a magnificent entrance, featuring a red carpet lined with golden pillars and blooming flowers.

His Redemption What the Chaos ia happening here?
As Chris made rounds and donations were being made, he finally cornered Ernest. "Hi, you look better in person than I imagined* Ernest said since he had not seen Chris even when he visited. "Of course I look better in person I am a grown man and not a child" he replied irritated at the audacity of the man retained. "My bad I didn't mean it that way" Wrnwat apologized as one hand was placed on his chest. Chris turned to go but stood back when Ernest spoke. "You know we could be great partners if only you were my stepson, I see how good you are with business and I wouldn't have it any other way," Ernest said this time he looked somewhat serious with the nonsense he had spewed. "I thought you were married? " "My wife passed and your mother should have been my bride had she not gotten together with your dad, and maybe you would have been my son" Ernest explained. "Oh, I see, is that why you've decided to make jest of yourself at this party by insinuating you would have been a

"I know cause has been told of how well you execute these plans and contracts when gi ahead and I'll want you to handle mine," Mr. White said "Well, we will need to go over the details over and over to be sure we are on the same page. "I understand" "Take all the time you need" "On one condition," Chris says as he speaks to Mr White from the charity event who wants to sue the Evans family for harassment and assault. "What could that be? ""Well you know the lady who attacked your wife Liana from what I gathered she isn't working at the moment and from how things looked at the hall, I could give you the contract whilst you give her a job," Chris stated. "I don't see how this pays for hitting my wife," he said arching his brow. "Viola, I knew you'd ask, give her a demeaning job, or else tell her she will pay for damages and for hurting your wifey," Chris said. "Does this have something to do with you? " he raised a question. "Well if you accept to do then we have a 10% disco
His Redemption Just unfair
Liana trudged through the front door, her footsteps heavy with exhaustion. It had been an incredibly hectic first day at her new forced job, and she couldn't wait to finally be home. As she entered, her husband, Richard, noticed her weary expression and rushed to her side."Hey, sweetheart, what happened? You look so tired and upset. Are you okay?"Liana burst into tears, her voice trembling as she tried to speak."I... I can't take it anymore, Richy. This job is overwhelming. I feel like I'm drowning in responsibilities and stress. I wish everything would just stop."Richard wrapped his arms around Liana, offering comfort and support."Shh, it's alright. Take a deep breath. You're not alone. Tell me what happened." he wanted to make sure his wife was okay as he took her shoes off and began to massage her feet. Liana sniffled, wiping away her tears."I'm not cut out for this, I'm not meant to work like this. I should be enjoying the good things life has to offer, not struggling thro

Liana, the Coffee girl, was diligently working at the office when Chris unexpectedly walked in to meet with Mr. White regarding a business deal. As Liana spotted Chris, she couldn't help but feel a mix of embarrassment and discomfort, recalling their history. "Good morning sir," she said as she looked left and right at anything but Chris's face. He didn't respond but just passed. To start the meeting off on a good note, Liana decided to offer Chris a cup of coffee. However, her embarrassment grew when Chris took a sip and expressed his dissatisfaction with the taste. "What is this? " Chris asked. "Coff__ coffee sir" she stuttered. "You see what I was talking about? She's so incompetent I don't know why I employed her on your request" Mr White said. Liana's face turned crimson as she quickly apologized and offered to make him another cup.Reluctantly, Liana prepared another cup of coffee for Chris, feeling the weight of his rejection from their school days. As she handed him
His Redemption Bitch I said what I said!
"Why am I mad, I don't get it, you are always like this" Richard yelled at a crying Liana who had returned from work yet again crying this time. "What do you expect, I am suffering and you aren't man enough to take care of me, you rather prefer to steal from your fellow man to feed us in this household as your stupid family can't help either as they are trying to still get back in their feet" she cursed making a move for the vanity table but Ruchard had enough of her and for calling his parents stupid the next thing she realised was being on the floor with blood trickling down her lip. Looking up at Richard she could see that he was pissed and the colour of his eyes had shifted from the normal baby blue to somewhat crimson red. She shifted, she wanted to get away from that look from the fierceness which pierced through his eyes and she could feel steam come off his body. "Richard please don't hit me, I didn't mean to say that about you or your family," she began to beg as he
His Redemption Dont get too personal!
Chris and Richard embarked on a walk through the construction site, admiring the progress that had been made. Chris couldn't help but praise Richard for his exceptional work thus far. The site was a hive of activity, with workers diligently carrying out their tasks."Be careful when climbing the staircase so you don't fall" one supervisor let out. "This is extremely great, you've outdone yourself," Chris said as he and Richard walked into the uncompleted but seemingly great building. "I told you I would not disappoint you right? " he bragged. "I knew you would not, that's why I chose you to handle the job" Chris said to him. As they strolled along, Chris commended Richard on his meticulous planning and attention to detail. He acknowledged Richard's ability to coordinate various teams, ensuring that the project stayed on schedule. Chris expressed his confidence in Richard's leadership skills, highlighting how he had fostered a positive and productive atmosphere among the worker

"I can tell you he trusts me wholeheartedly," Richard said to his friend George. The sound of his voice was filled with happiness and exuded confidence. "You sure he isn't up to something? " George asked sceptical about the whole trust and working together talk. "I don't know why you keep thinking this man isn't smart, if he could help Liana get good grades while back in school you bet he can mess you up in a second" George aired out his worries yet again. "He ain't smart I've embezzled at least £2 million from the project so far and he is yet to find out, I am good at what I do and I am only telling you this because you are my blossom friend else you won't know nothing about it" He bragged. "Alright I rest my case you are an adult and you sure know what you are up to," George said as he looked at his friend wondering why he was so oblivious to what was going on before him. George knew that smart people always behaved as though they were quite dumb and when they struck it was

The Legacy unveiled
Chris stood motionless, his eyes locked onto the man in the doorway—Reddick. "Chris," Reddick's voice was calm, almost soothing. "I've been expecting you."Chris clenched his fists, his gaze flickering between Reddick and his mother, still bound and blindfolded. "Let her go," he demanded, his voice steady despite the turmoil within.Reddick stepped further into the room, the light revealing a face marked by time and secrets. "All in due time," he said. "But first, we need to talk."Chris took a step forward, his instincts screaming at him to act, to fight, to protect. But something in Reddick's demeanor gave him pause—a familiarity, a connection he couldn't quite place."Who are you?" Chris asked, his voice laced with suspicion.Reddick sighed, his eyes reflecting a mixture of sorrow and resolve. "I'm someone who knew your father well. Someone who was once like a brother to him."Chris's heart pounded. "You're lying. My father never mentioned you.""Because he wanted to protect you,"
The burden of truth
Chris stared at the photo for a long moment, the words seared into his mind. “The place you buried the truth.” He felt a rush of memories, places and moments from his past, all connected to his family’s legacy. He gripped the photo tightly, his knuckles white.“Chris, we have to move quickly,” Gabriel said, his voice steady but laced with urgency. “We don’t know how much time we have. If they’ve taken her—”“I know.” Chris’s voice was tight. “I’m not stupid. But what the hell is going on? What do they want from me? From her?”Gabriel exhaled slowly, his gaze shifting toward the hallway as if he were hearing something in the distance, something only he could sense. “I wish I could tell you everything, Chris. But there are things your father kept from both of us. Things that were buried so deep, even I didn’t know they existed until recently.”Chris’s frustration boiled over. “I’m not interested in the past. My mother is gone, and I need to find her. Now.”Gabriel placed a hand on Chris
Shadows of the Past
Chris rushed down the stairs of his office building, every step a drumbeat of anxiety. He hadn’t known his father had a brother—at least, not one still alive. The thought of someone carrying the same bloodline yet remaining hidden all this time left him uneasy. Questions bloomed faster than answers: Where had this man been? Why now? What did he want?At the reception desk, Linda stood frozen behind the counter, her usually calm expression twisted into something between fear and awe.“He’s waiting in the conference room,” she said quietly. “He… he knew your full name before I said anything.”Chris’s brow furrowed. He pushed through the door, heart pounding.There, seated in one of the high-backed leather chairs, was a man in his sixties. Salt-and-pepper hair slicked back, a tailored charcoal-gray suit, and eyes—sharp, calculating, and strangely familiar. He stood when Chris entered.“Cristóbal Alejandro Kingston,” the man said smoothly. “You look just like him.”Chris didn’t respond im
Whispers in the Silence
Chris lay sprawled across his bed, face turned toward the ceiling as the fan above spun in slow, rhythmic circles. He could still feel his mother’s arms wrapped around him—a rare gesture of tenderness that brought back memories of better times, simpler days when the weight of a legacy wasn’t strapped to his shoulders. But now, the burden was his to carry, and he wasn’t sure if he was ready for the miles ahead.His phone buzzed beside him.He ignored it.Another buzz. This time, a call.“Arturo,” he muttered, eyes closed. “He’s probably still trying to drag me out.”The buzzing stopped, only to resume seconds later. Chris groaned and finally answered.“What?”“Boss,” Arturo's voice crackled through the speaker, unusually cautious, “you might want to come down to the office. Now.”Chris rubbed his temple. “Arturo, I’m exhausted. I told you I’m taking a day.”“I know, but it’s not about business,” Arturo continued. “Someone’s been snooping around. And I think they broke into your private

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,
Pains!
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
Emotions!
"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.
