“Dad, it’s been a while, and I know I haven’t really spoken to you since things have gone this way. I have been too ashamed to come to you. The one thing you placed in my care was taken away from me. I haven’t been able to face you ever since. It has felt as though the whole world is against me. I am really sorry for disappointing you. I couldn’t be half the man that you were,” John said with a cracked voice, tears welling up in his eyes as he stood in his room staring into thin air.His mind had traveled far away. There was too much guilt weighing on his chest. He felt wasted once more after he had finished talking to Miss B and returned home.“I need your help today, Dad. I can’t do anything without you, and it is clear that I am worthless without you. I allowed a woman to take over my thinking, and everything you had worked so hard to gather, I threw it down the drain with a snap of my fingers. I know I am worthless and I am stupid. I might have learned my lesson, but the guilt can

He held her gaze for a moment before shifting his attention to Modelisa, whose expression betrayed a mix of apprehension and guilt. John hesitated, his mind grappling with the weight of his words. Yet, spurred on by Modelisa's silent urging, he pressed forward."It was the floor," John muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, as if the admission itself carried a heavy burden. Stephanie's brows furrowed in confusion, her disbelief evident in the way she leaned forward, urging him to clarify."The floor hit you?"

“What the hell?” John exclaimed as soon as he turned and saw Rhys. It was Brad who held him by his hand.“What is going on? Let go of my hand,” John protested, but Brad had a firm grip on his hands and quickly dragged him into the nearest room. It was a store room in the Mansion.“What are you doing?” John finally protested again, using his strength to break free from Brad’s grip. John was inflamed with anger, his face contorted with rage. His eyes bore into Brad’s like a lion ready to pounce on its prey.“I am sorry about that,” Brad finally spoke, adjusting his black suit and tucking his right hand into his pants pocket.John’s heart was pounding in his chest, each beat echoing like a war drum in the silence of the store room.

Stephanie’s initial scream had made his ears tingle, sending shivers down his spine. “What are you doing naked?” Stephanie’s voice echoed through the hallway, a mixture of shock and disbelief reverberating in her tone.

The room seemed to blur around him, the chatter of the business partners fading into the background as he focused solely on the enigmatic figure before him. Every detail of Gabriel's appearance was etched into John's mind: the confident tilt of his head, the subtle gestures of his hands as he spoke, the way his eyes seemed to sparkle with intelligence and charm.

How was this possible? Had Jeffery known about his plan all along?His heart shattered into a million pieces, and his legs turned to jelly. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his eyes grew red with emotion.“How did you know?” John asked, his voice trembling slightly, though he tried to maintain a façade of boldness. Deep down, he knew he had been defeated, but he refused to show weakness.“John Beckham, have you forgotten that we’ve been friends for many, many years, my dear friend?” Jeffery placed a reassuring hand on John’s shoulder. “I know you inside and out. I’ve studied your every move, which is how Stephanie and I were able to outmaneuver you time and time again. But you still have much to learn. You

“ I don’t understand what you are asking?” John turned to feign ignorance.His eyes rolled around even though he tried to maintain composure. He did not know the lie that he would tell Stephanie, but he knew that any wrong move he made would put him in trouble.“You heard my question, answer it!” Stephanie snapped, her eyes like a fierce dragon.The morning was still young, and the room was not that bright. John and Stephanie entered a silent battle of wills. John heaved a deep sigh as he wondered what lie he could fabricate. He couldn’t even dare tell Stephanie the real truth because he didn’t have any truth to back it up. He was in a tight spot.“Can I ask you a question?” John finally got hold of his tongue.Stephanie remained unfazed. “I do the question asking while you do the question answering. So answer my question,” her voice unwavering with authority.The tension in the room was real, almost tangible. John’s heart pounded in his chest, each beat echoing in his ears like a dru

“Who are you looking for?” A lady dressed in a corporate black shirt and skirt asked John with a bright smile, her eyes reflecting professional courtesy.“I am looking for Mr. Brad,” John spoke confidently, his voice steady and assured. It was two days after the tense showdown he had with Stephanie, and he had come to meet Brad as the first crucial step in his new plan. The events of the past days had left him determined and resolute, his mind focused on the strategy that lay ahead.“Do you have an appointment?” the lady asked, her broad smile unwavering. There was a practiced efficiency in her demeanor, the kind that comes from years of dealing with visitors and their demands.John placed his hand on the counter and wagged his head. “No, I don’t, but just tell your boss that John Beckham is here to see him, and I am sure he will allow me through,” John explained confidently. It was pertinent that he saw Brad as soon as possible; Brad was the gateway to his new plan commencing. Eve
