Jace the centibillion heir Chapter 12
Once Jace closed the doors of the living room behind him, he was faced with his mother-in-law who wore a devilish face. At first, he wasn't moved because he knew that was the kind of face she kept toward him whenever they were both in the same room. Now that he had become a rich man, he wouldn't permit himself to be insulted, he was also not going to disrespect his mother-in-law."Good afternoon, mother," Jace said softly after noticing Mrs. Elizabeth's face was getting more red. For some seconds she said nothing. Her gaze was still plastered on him like a piece of trash.On usual days when she refused to respond to his salutations, he will further insist by saluting her again till she shoves him away. Today was different, he wasn't doing that. He rather lowered his head and started walking towards the kitchen."And where do you think you are going, you this dependent fool?" Mrs. Elizabeth raised her voice at him. This caused him to halt in his steps as he turned and gazed back at his

Jace stood straight and had his hands folded behind his back. His eyes were still plopped on his mother-in-law and waiting for her to say something."I will offer you ten million dollars if only you accept to divorce my daughter. What do you think?" She asked him, wearing a bright smile.He just parted his lips, hoping to say something when Mrs. Elizabeth again added something."My daughter deserves more. She deserves a man who matches her beauty. She's a damsel with a prominent future. Besides, you stand a chance of making it big, that's if only you can put this love thing at the back of your mind and think for yourself." Elizabeth widened her eyes, waiting for Jace's reply.Jace smiled inwardly because he knew Elizabeth was talking about Daryl when she mentioned 'deserving man' It was funny to him because a man who could lie about his enterprise could lie about so many other things."Don't keep me waiting, Jace. I need your answer now. I will sign you a cheque now if you accept my p

It was 5 pm on the dot when Amelia stepped out of her room. She was wearing a black skirt suit with a former business blouse, black pantyhose, and close-toed leather heels. A pink ribbon was loosely tied on her neck and her curled hairs were bundled together. That said, she exhaled and started walking towards the exit door."You wore the best clothes you had in your wardrobe just to go sign a contract? Well, you better enjoy it now that you have the possibility to do so, I don't think it going to last for long." Elsy stood in her way, blocking the door. She was holding a bottle of wine in her hands and she sounded tipsy.Amelia played deaf ears and continued walking till she was finally in front of her, "Can you liberate the way? I'm already late for this meeting." She said glaring at her Rolex wristwatch."I know what you and your stupid husband did. You paid the CEO, right? Or better still, you had a one-night stand with him." Elsy said before sipping from the bottle she had in hand.

"Amelia darling, how did the contract go? What percentage are they offering to the Bradley Modelling enterprise and most especially, did you guys discuss with whom we will be collaborating on this project?" Granny Modella asked with a million smile plastered on her heart-shaped lips.The questions were so many that Amelia didn't even know where she was going to begin. She dropped her shoulders and started walking towards the dining section. The smile on her granny's face vanished away as she could sense something bizarre was going on."Young lady, what's the matter?" Modella placed her hands on her shoulders but it wasn't enough to retain Amelia."I prefer to tell you this by myself before you hear it from someone else." Amelia stated just after taking a seat."What is even the meaning of that? You are beginning to scare me. Did you or did not sign the contract?" Modella stood in front of her and said in a commanding tone."I signed it." Amelia mentioned with her head lowered enough t

The night was promising as it was just about to start. It was the mayor's birthday and it was a day which needed not to be forgotten.Elsy, Adora and her friend were all dressed and were seated in the living room, hoping to share a bottle of wine before zooming off for the birthday. This was their ever first invitation to the mayor's birthday.The two maids were all occupied as they were helping Mrs. Elizabeth and Granny Modella with their clothes. As lazy as they were, they had their butts tucked on the chair and waited for one of them to get done before serving them.They were actually not going to wait for a longer period as they saw who was going to replace the maid. Adora called Jace who was busily walking to the dining table."It's good you are here, Jace. Quickly get us a bottle of wine with three glasses." Adora stated while paying full attention to the mirror in front of her. She was checking if her clothes were up to standard, given that so many big personalities were going

It was close to 9 pm and the hall was gradually becoming full. Everyone was seated on a table that corresponded to their standard, and only their level of influence could determine that. Modella was seated at table 16, meaning she and the other people seated at her table were ranked among the 16th most important person of the party. It was quite a pity for her to see her granddaughter seated at table 5. This showed how far she had overthrown her."Elizabeth, can you see what I'm seeing? Your daughter has taken it upon herself to destroy the family." Modella said while scanning the whole environment. She made sure her voice was low enough for the other people around her not to get what she was saying."I don't understand what you mean. How is she destroying the family?" Elizabeth played deaf ears to what her mom was saying. She knew what her mom meant by 'destroying the family' but she chose to be neutral because she didn't know whom to support."What I'm trying to say is-" loud music

"Excuse me, Sirs." Jace bowed his head and quickly dismissed himself. Fear stroke down every damn corner of his body. He walked till the end of the hall where all the controllers could not have access to him. He looked in the direction where his father was and they did eye contact. He brought his hands together and started begging his father in distance. This plead was for him not to reveal to Mayor Lamenz that he was his son.His father kept a contorted face but there was nothing he could do. He just changed his direction and served himself another drink.Once this problem was solved, his heart got back to normal. There was something that caught his attention. They were three reporters who were interviewing a man and a lady. He couldn't see their faces as they were in his back.What got intriguing was when he had access to the lady's gown. Those were the same clothes Amelia wore. To confirm his suspicion, he went a little bit ahead, and boom it was Amelia and Daryl who were holding

The party ended and the hall was full of murmurs as everyone tried to make their way out of the hall. To this effect, Amelia squeezed herself out of the hall and reached for her car. She zoomed it off and she was home in no time.Her legs were painful so she removed the shoes and started walking bare feet, clutching her shoes. She had entered the house and was reaching the stairs when she heard someone clapping. "Well done, Amelia." Granny Modella approached her."Granny, you are home already." Amelia turned around and declared with a tired tone."Don't you dare change the topic of our conversation. You knew about this collaboration between Storm and Marchburry, yet, you went ahead and hide it away from us? This only shows how egoistic you are." Modella said with lots of disdain."I'm not ready for that. If you want we can talk about it tomorrow. Good night." Amelia muttered. She turned again and was walking up the stairs."Young woman, stop there," Modella yelled, but it wasn't enoug

“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
