Since the award, Daryl had himself thinking. Thinking of what he heard Elsy said. Thinking of how Carlos was going to take his wife. And also he lastly thought of what his employees told him. They had given him just seven days for him to pay their money. Looking at the date on his calendar, the fifth day was almost coming to an end.“What do I do to get myself out of this situation?” He leaned in his cane chair before stroking his head with a pen. “Whatever you have to do, make sure you do it fast, as time is no longer on your side.” His subconscious barked again. With this, he quickly woke up and reached to his phone, looking one last time at the messages sent by his employees. The old messages he had deliberately refused to open, he found himself opening them.The last message read, “Mr. Daryl or whatever you call yourself, the clock is ticking and you have just some days lefts. You had better start searching pay all the money you owe us, or you know what is going to happen once t
“Master, did you just say something?” The lady asked, with her mouth forming an O.“Me… oh, no. I was talking to someone else.” Jace straightened his face before mentioning.“What should I tell the young man? Should I call a meeting? Well I already told him to submit everything about his company.”“Okay, I’ll be waiting for him to provide everything concerning his company. When he does, let me know. And also, don’t forget. He isn’t supposed to meet me.” Those were the last words Jace implored before turning off his phone.Even though Jace asked his secretary to receive all the information before contacting him. Well, he was just pretending because he k we everything about Daryl’s company. His father was once his associate so he had read every details concerning him in the document.Holding a spatula in his hand, he couldn’t help turning it around at the same time smiling around. This news was so sweet to him that he already forgot he placed food on the fire.While smiling, he didn’t
“Hello, madam. I have being waiting for you to contact me. I was afraid you weren’t going to get back to me.” after searing straight on the sofa, Daryl held his hand tight to his phone before stating. With this seriousness of his, Alan remarked and couldn’t help reacting. Through his reaction, he was trying to ask with whom Daryl was speaking with, but he plainly ignored him.“Okay. I just got on phone with the CEO. He would like you to get in touch with us. Through a meeting, we are going to discuss how the sales are you going to be done.” The secretary stated, causing Daryl to lean and smile in his seat.“That’s good news, madam…” Daryl hadn’t finish making his statement when the lady cut him shut.“So, when do you think you can make it?” She asked, her mouth widely opened, waiting for date.Daryl gasped in joy. He didn’t know this was going to happen so fast. Returning to her question, he cleared his throat before speaking, “Can we schedule that tomorrow, or…” with his hand hanging
Daryl entered the building and luckily for him, he fell on the lady with whom he had being talking on phone. With a mile smile, she asked him to accompany her to her office. They entered and she locked the door behind him. Shoving her hand to the chair who lay opposite her desk, she asked him to rest his butt.He sat and wanted to exclaim himself, but she had overpassed him.“Welcome to our office, I must say you are a little bit late. Well we’ll do with that.” Immediately she said, Daryl looked at his time only to discover that it was 9:02 AM. This made him widen his eyes as he was still trying to understand how just two minutes made him late.“You must be Mr…” When he noticed the lady was finding it hard to call out his name, he chirped in immediately.“Mr. Daryl Ashton, madam.”“And you are here because you want to sell your company. Is that the case?” While going through the scattered files on her table, the lady spared him a glance before addressing herself.“Yes, madam. That’s
Days passed, Jace’s anxiety kept on increasing, but there was nothing he could do apart from seating quiet and waiting for Daryl to fully fall into his trap.While waiting on him to do that, he had been constantly keeping an eye on his beloved wife. She was becoming more and more sexier, rendering him sick anytime she left the house without him.In that area too, there wasn’t much he could do. Several times he had thought of proposing on giving her a leave, but he again thought of what she was going to say. He made her understand he had a job, so his suggestion was a no go area.Fast forward, after dropping Angelo at his place, he excused himself to rest before he could drive him to the moncloa palace. Well, that’s where the meeting was normally supposed to hold until it was changed some few hours ago. Due to the increasing number of entrepreneurs they received, the palace of Mancloe was unable to receive them all, hence the gathering was going to hold at ST Gravens hotel.Looking at
“Good day, dear businessmen. It’s an absolute pleasure to have you all tonight.” The president’s spokesman cleared his throat before addressing the huge population that stood before his face.“While waiting on the president’s atrival, I would first like to apologize for the abrupt change of locstion. This gathering was normally supposed to hold at the Mancloe palace, but as you all know, we received lots of messages from businessmen. So we decided to go for a more bigger hall. I’m glad to see you all, we pray that this evening goes just perfect.” The spokesman mentioned.Immediately he was done, the hall door was opened, revealing the features of Angelo and Amelia. Behind them was Jace, who was acting like their guard.Some other man had noticed them walk in, he then rushed and chanelled them to a seat where their table was reserved. This has almost all the businessmen turn and look what was hsppening. No one was taken to a seat, well apart from Damian.Once Jace sat, he began scannin
Jace dropped Angelo at his house, and continued on foot with Amelia. Though Amelia was still finding it hard to totally let go off what she saw that day at the restaurant, she tried hard not to face Jace throughout their walk. Taking some measure distance away from him sounded to be the best option for now.There was something she noticed about him. Something not pleasant though. He was not interactive. He didn’t even try to call her name once. The Jace she had grew up to know will never do such things. He would never be calm when he was by her side. He always wanted to make his presence noticed especially when there were just two.The fact that they were out of the house and he was just acting strange got her worried. Well, she won’t deny the fact that she had wanted to ask if everything was okay, but she thought after sometime he was going to regain himself.Minutes passed, but Jace didn’t utter a single word. He just had his head lowered and his two hands crossed behind his back. H
The next morning arrived, Amelia arranged her documents in her bag and locked the door of the room behind her. It was almost 7:30 pm, and she was getting late for work. There’s this investor who wanted a one-on-one talk with her. He even catched a flight so he could meet her in her office. Thinking of all this, she deliberately didn’t wait for Jace to get done in the bathroom before she told him she was taking her leave.She had no idea that on reaching downstairs, she was going to be retained by her mother who was enjoying her breakfast.“Hey, daughter. Where are you going to?” With a slice of bread in her mouth, Elizabeth struggled to let out the words out of her mouth.This made Amelia turn her back and face her mom. “As you can see, I’m heading to my office.” She said, her speech void of emotion.“Common, Amelia. You don’t have to be this harsh with me just because I told you the truth. Anyway, have a seat and let’s share something to eat before you go out.” Elizabeth banged an e
“I think we should take things slower. Let’s not rush things so we can learn to know each other better. Let’s define our priorities and goals.” Amelia mentioned while they were having dinner.“That’s true, you are very correct. I don’t want us to rush things. Let’s take the process gradually.” Jace confirmed.They spent another hour and it was time to leave. Jace opted to drop her at her house but she insisted that she wants to get a cab.“You have to chill, I’m not gonna allow you to go home on your own.” Jace insisted as he opened the car door for her. Left with no choice, she entered.She didn’t want in any way to be a burden to him, that's why she kept on refusing most of his services. This one she wasn’t going to escape.“Have a sound sleep.” Jace said. He dropped her in front of her gate and waved his hands at her.“Thanks, do have a nice sleep too.” Once he dropped her, he was off to his father’s house. It was literally two weeks since he had last set his foot in their house.
Elsy summoned her courtage and managed to go back to her house. She went there for just two reasons. Firstly, to get her luggage out of his house and secondly, to confront him. If he thinks he was going to go free of charge then he should step off his high horse. She went through his documents and fell on allthe contracts he signed with Marchburry. Going through every damn content, she was able to go through the terms and conditions of the contact. Indeed, Jace didn’t lie when he said Carlos' automobile no longer belonged to him.“My god, how come I didn’t see all this? I have been living in this house for as long as possible and it was just below my nose. How stupid I could be.” Elsy yelled at herself. She continued going through some documents of his. She found a pull of money. Not minding how much it was, she removed five lots of it and put that in her purse. She now kept the other pull back in its rightful position. When she heard the door creaking, she knew it was Carlos. She
“Start the car, we are visiting my father. I hope his maids are aware of my visit?” Jace asked Angelo as he struggled to arrange the files that laid scattered on his table.“Yes, young master. I told them already. The cook asked to know what you’ll love to eat. In no particular order, I stated all meals you love.” Angelo stated.With a smile, Jace heaved heavily. “Thank you, Angelo. Just give me some minutes, when I get done we will go home.” Jace proposed.“Oh, young master let me help you out.” Angelo proposed but Jace refused. He said he could do it on his own.Done at Storm, Angelo accompanied him home. He took his bath, wore one of the expensive suits he got and associated it with an expensive brogue. Looking at himself, he was ready to reintroduce himself to the world.“I’m ready, we can now take our leave.” He said. Angelo opened the door for him and sauntered out, heading to his father's mansion.In the surroundings, he could come into view with his father’s gate. It was bold
Twenty four hours passed and Daryl was still not home. He had spent the night at a nearby bar where he kept drinking and commanding for others.“Serve me and then serve the rest here in my bills. I’m gonna pay for all of them.” He ordered after he had taken his fifth bottle of beer. It was visible that he was tipsy and his statement was as a result of his drunkenness. The bartender knew him so he did just as he said. He served each and everyone present a bottle of beer.“Thank you biggest boss,” Those were the words the young dudes uttered after getting a bottle of beer free of charge.“You kids are all welcome,” He raised his hands and accepted their recognition. He was someone who was in love with those kinds of words.In forty minutes he was done with his drink. He called the bartender to sage him another drink. Quickly, the dude burst out with another bottle in his hand.Once the beer was opened, he sipped for a while before depositing it on his table. He glared and noticed that
“Look at me this teenager, who do you take yourself for? Is it because you had the opportunity to get married to a beautiful and wealthy lady who took you in and sponsored your uselessness?” Robert said. At the end of his statement, he stressed out the last word.“It’s not only about getting married to her. But if calling me useless is because you are interested in her then you can have her to yourself, I don’t care about that. But don’t call me useless ever in your life.” Jace warned.“Get lost, you are useless and that won’t change what I feel regarding you.” Robert challenged him.“Since you are too relaxed and proud of yourself, I’m gonna show you what I have reserved for you.” He said and reached for his pocket. He brought out his phone and dialled Corey’s number. Within seconds of ringing, he picked up his call.“Young master, it’s my pleasure to be on the phone with you. Is there anything I can do for the young master?” Corry asked, his voice growing softer.“Yes, there’s some
“Fired, Sir?” Her eyes widened at this statement. What did she do for her to warrant such evil treatment from him?“Yeah, you heard me correctly. You are here by fired. I don’t want to meet you anytime I come around, like I won’t take it lightly with you.” He made it crystal clear.She raised her hands and dropped them on her head, “Sir, is there anything bad I did? All these years I have served Storm with passion. I have always been loyal and punctual. I am always at work and always delivers at time. If not for that useless Angelo, I wouldn’t have been sent home for two weeks. It’s his fault and not mine.” Alma tried to explain herself.Jace’s face became dark when she referred to Angelo as useless. He would never allow anyone to talk down on Angelo no matter if he was only his driver.“Hey, watch your mouth. This is not the place where you can use any kind of slang.” He said, his brows furrowing, “Do you think just being at work on time is all that is required to run a successful co
“This is a true definition of our lives can change at all times. Can you imagine I just got to found out I was working for my husband without knowing? I had signed contracts with his companies without even knowing they belonged to him.” Amelia said desperately.“I will advice you to start using the term ex-husband as from today, because I’m sure he is gonna cimd back for you. He won’t spare you when he begins the divorce procedure.” Elsy reminded her.“I am still his legal wife, Elsy. You aren’t tell me what to do or how to adress him. He is still my husband.” Amelia yelled.“Oh, darling. Please can you come down your high horse? The same husband you had accepted someone else’s proposal? The same husband you asked him to pack out? Is that the same one you are talking about?” Elsy bombarded.It just dawned on her that she had not treated Jace in the last couple of months. She and her mother were the same. She had everything her mother instructed her to do.“I will be in my room now, I
“I was preparing my revenge.” The word stick them again. There was an absolute silent, as if someone had taken their voices and ran away with it.Amelia finally gathered her courage and spoke up, “So we’ve been staying under the sand roof and you thought it wise to hide things away from me? As couples, that isn’t supposed to take place. It simply shows you hsve been fake from the onset.” Amelia declared.“Oh, spare me that shit. I did everything I could to be a good man to you. Yet you didn’t see that. You kept treating me like a little toy.” Jace bombarded.“What about my grandmother? What did her company got to do with you? What wrong did shd ever do to you?” Amelia continued with her question.“That question is very simple to answer.” Jace started talking, “She was constantly talking down on me. She always insulted and said all kind of trash concerning my unknown family.” Jace pocketed his hands before saying.“That wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t her fault that she didn’t like you. Y
“Daryl, who is Tessie?” The question played again in his head.Daryl removed his hand off Amelia’s shoulders and took some distance. Amelia turned and looked at him, “What is he talking about? And who is Tessie in the first place?” She implored.“You can ask him, I don’t know what he is talking about.” Daryl said pretentiously. His eyes were interlocking with that of Jace.“Jace, if you don’t know what to say walk away and let me go have a nap.” Amelia started talking.“Why are you in a haste? Look him in the face and see how unfree he is. Do you think he doesn’t know who I am talking about?” Jace continued with his questioned. “Daryl, what is he trying to say? Who is this Tessie lady?” Amelia took some distance and asked.“Yes, Daryl, we need to know who is the Tessie, Jace is talking about.” Elsy added as she was eager to know what misery was behind the Tessie.“How can you ask Amelia to het married to you when you already have a fiancée? Is that normal?” Again, Jace asked. This qu
