The next morning, Jace got up early as usual. Had a bath, wore his clothes and dashed out of the house. He was so mad at Prisca. That’s because the breakfast he reserved for Amelia got poured by her.In her statement, “I won’t allow Miss Amelia to eat your food anymore. I was employed to cook for the family. You are only a son-in-law here. So you had better respect your position in this house.” She said before flushing the food through the sink.On point she was right but then what was she expecting from a young man who was trying to fix the constant dispute in his relationship? He realised that his wife loved food. If that was what was going to draw him closer to her then he eventually had no choice.“What’s going down here? I heard your voices.”’Amelia placed her hands on her handle before questioning the two adults.“Nothing Madame Amelia.” Prisca was quick in answering, after which she lowered her head. The look on Jace’s face proved that there was a lot going on.“Jace, the fact
“See who is comfortably having a cup of coffee?” Elsy hitted him behind the head before smirking. More than anything, Jace hated it when someone touched him in the head, especially if they were making a mockery of him. Even when he was just a little boy in the orphanage, he won’t permit his leaders to slap his head. Why Elsy just did was in acceptable. But for the sake of piece, he decided to let go. He was in public area and he didn’t want to call the attention of the people. Gulping down the lump in his throat was the only thing he could do.“Hahaha… To think he is boldly seated like some rich dude. What are you doing here? Don’t tell me your wife paid for this.” She said smirking again. She had intentions of hitting him again in the head but before she could raise her hand, he was fast in escaping her wrath.“If you are referring to Amelia then I don’t think so, she would not give a penny to this fool here.” Alma said before scanning the whole environment. She could spot the Bentl
“If you insist, then let’s share just one cup of coffee. After that I would resume to work.” Jace said. He later followed Tessie to the hall. They sat and they both commanded.During their stay, Tessie had being constantly trying to start a conversation with him, something he was trying to avoid. But he later finished by giving up. While they were exchanging thoughts, Tessie brought out her phone and took pictures of them without him knowing something of that sort was going on.Fifteen minutes later, Jace was done with his cup of coffee. He thought of going but then Tessie’s cup was still full. It was not going to be polite for him leaving her there.“Can you be fast Tessie? I have other things to do. I don’t want to rush you but please consider the fact that my boss is waiting for me.” Jace uttered politely.“Oh, sorry Jace. You know my cup is still very hot. Just be patient, in less than ten minutes I’ll be done.” She said frantically. Ten minutes was much for him to bear, but what
Jace got out of the office and made a last call before they left. He was on the phone with Torry to know what he had discovered in Carlos automobile company.“Hello Mr. Torry, I am calling to ask if your team has gotten some potential space where they were sent?” Jace asked, his voice growing softer.“Yes, Young master. I was on the point of calling you know. There are some offices that weren’t occupied. Mr. Carlos was around and he denied us access, so we were forced to call the board of directors of Marchburry as you stated.” Torry said politely.“Okay, then that’s fine. Let me call the team delegate for Wildlife pharmacy. If we can get five free offices then we won’t have to stress in the acquisition of new offices.” Jace said before turning off the call.Angelo was right behind him when he ended the call. He cleared his throat, making Jace to notice his presence.“Oh, I can see you were behind me.” Jace said before glaring at his wristwatch. From the time he read, it was time for
“What’s funny madame? Isn’t that the basics? That for inflicting such radical decision let me at least control some of the operations.” Daryl was bold and angry when he said this.“What decisions are you talking about Mr. Daryl? Is it my fault that you settled for less? If you have something to reclaim don’t do it with me, you know where to get to.” “Listen Mr. Daryl, I have no business with you, okay. I already told you that we would be the one to make the decisions.”“Besides, before I came here that’s the information I received. I run with Marchburry’s orders. They asked me to give Joan that post which is exactly what I did. If you have anything to say, I would prefer you render yourself at the head quarters and demand what is going on.” Mariah stated, boldly glaring at him.“This is not what I was told, I will make sure Marchburry settle this.” He said, turning his back to leave. But Mariah cleared her throat, causing him to halt in his steps.“Wait a minute.” She said and he tur
“What do you mean by you want to see my boss? You’ve never being here before and out of a sudden, you embark here and you are creating a scene?” Jace angrily mentioned while talking to him.Daryl didn’t utter a word, he simply turned and glared at himself then whirled around to Che j if there was someone Jace was probably talking to. After noticing the next person was very far away from him, he concluded that Jace was speaking to him. Still, he needed to confirm it that was true.“Are you perhaps talking to me or what?” He asked, making Jace to chuckle.“Of course I am talking to you, Daryl. Weren’t you the one who came in and started making noise? Who were you expecting me to talk to.Daryl lowered his head then started laughing. He laughed so hard that even the security who was in the corner rushed in to check it was okay.“Jace or whatever you call yourself, I command you to go in there and tell your boss I’m waiting for him here. If he fails to show himself, I promise I am going t
Denied access to meet with Damian, Daryl entered his car and drove off. It seems like the world was going to fall off on him. He didn’t pay attention when he was driving. He was just driving without controlling until he almost hit someone’s car.The young man came out in a haste just snapped Daryl. Reaching his car, Daryl didn’t pay attention to him. Instead he had ignited the car and was ready to leave.“Hey, have you gone nuts? How dare you trigger such an accident and you think of running away?” The man hissed, still Daryl didn’t have his time.“I am talking to you. Do you want to answer me or you prefer I takes this to the police station?” The young man yelled.“You are making noise young man. Let me have some piece.” Those were the only words that Daryl let out.“Since you do not want to say sorry I’m going to show you how big boys do it. You think because you are riding in a sport car you can intimidate me?” The man let out.“And do you think because you just mentioned the polic
“From my office I could literally hear your voice, what do you want Mr. Daryl?” The lady who offered him the price for his company showe d her head out of her office and asked.“You?!” Daryl exclaimed bitterly. “Mariah gave me some documents to read a while ago. What I failed to understand was the fact that Storm had their signature signed on them, I want to know what why they are interfering in Wildlife pharmacy.” He said, waiting for the lady to speak up.“Mr. Daryl, don’t make me believe that you didn’t read the clauses before signing them? You sold the company to us meaning whatever we decide to do doesn’t regard you in any way.” She stated.“Well, you are the one that thinks it doesn’t regards me. You were the one who deceived me into signing that dirty paper.” He said, and the secretary took some distance away from him.“I am here to see your president. The idiot who bought my company at a lowe price. Tell him that I am here to give him back all his money. In return I am would
“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
