At the conference room of the Sullivan Corporation headquarters, a tensed atmosphere with thick air of vindictiveness could be felt. William and Stella Sullivan sat at the head of the table, their expressions grim and vicious. They were flanked by several members of their legal team, their eyes scanning the room as they awaited the arrival of the Wonderstone Enterprise board members.The door swung open, the Sullivans narrowed their eyes with eagerness towards it, their jaws set in wait as the board members filed into the room. Among them were some of the most influential figures in the business world, their faces a mix of curiosity and concern as they took their seats around the table. They already suspected why the Sullivans called them for such a meeting, they were very much aware of his fall out with Michael Wonderstone.“Thank you all for coming,” William Sullivan began, his voice commanded the attention of everyone as he addressed the room. “As you know, we are here today to dis
As Mercury stepped out of the car, she was startled to see a familiar figure waiting for her on the sidewalk. Her ex-boyfriend, Andrea Scott, stood leaning against his car, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched her approach. Mercury's heart sank at the sight of him, her mind reeling with a mix of emotions, she wondered what he was doing at her place and why he appeared suddenly out of nowhere. She hadn't seen Andrea since their messy breakup, and the sight of him now filled her with a sense of concern.“Andrea?!” She called out with curiosity. “What are you doing here?” Her voice sharpened with anger demanded of him as she stopped in front of him. Joe Cole watched a bit from the car and stepped out to draw closer. He was aware of her relationship with Andrea Scott, it was a trendy topic when they started and an even more trendy topic when they broke up. To every young person, it was a picture perfect relationship. A multimillionaire NBA superstar dating the daughter of the P
Mercury rushed to the hospital the next day, she had received a call from the hospital informing her that Betty was awake. Betty had been unconscious since the event at the club and the doctors tried their best to revive her. Mercury reached Betty's room, she found her sitting up in bed, her face pale but her eyes were bright with relief at the sight of Mercury. Betty and Mercury have been friends for long but they don't usually get to see each other as much due to Betty's hectic schedule as a social media influencer. When Mercury came to see John earlier, she was told that Betty was in an emergency ward and couldn't be accessed.“Mercury, thank goodness you're here,” Betty exclaimed with a weak but yet excited voice. Mercury rushed to her side, hugged her gently, and took her hand in hers as she offered a reassuring smile. “Are you okay? I tried seeing you yesterday but…the doctor said otherwise. I rushed here as soon as I got the call.” She asked Betty, her voice was evident to ho
On one hand, Joe Cole couldn't shake the memories of the romantic night he had with Mercury, the First Daughter of the United States. Never could he have imagined that happening. The poor and wretched Joe Cole everyone laughed at and ridiculed, the Joe Cole Emily dumped because he was too poor for her. Now, he was sharing romance with a lady that was ten times Emily's status. He couldn't shake off the feeling he felt, a month ago this would have been a fantasy dream to him but now it's a reality. To make it more amusing to him, he realized that he wasn't the one who wanted it nor initiated it, it was all Mercury which meant she was in love with him. He sighed, ‘I am one damn lucky guy.’ He thought to himself. His time with Mercury had filled him with a sense of value and pride that he hadn't felt in years. Far beyond what he felt when he was, as it were, dating Emily before she made him realize he was nothing but a piece of trash who did her school tasks for her. Joe Cole found hims
Mercury stepped out of the hospital only to meet a sight she never planned for, her heart pounding in her chest as she wondered what Andrea Scott was doing at the hospital. Andrea stood beside his car, his friends also with him standing beside their cars as well.“Andrea?!” She called out fearfully.Andrea walked towards her, “Baby, how are you?” Andrea said to her, posing arrogantly as usual.Mercury stared at him with anger and frustrations, she knew very well Andrea never listens and until he gets what he wants, he couldn't rest. Mercury walked closer to him to speak with him clearly.“Andrea, what do you want?” She asked him, her gaze fixed sternly at him.Andrea smiled at her, his expression was smug as he stood up to her, six-foot-four to her five-foot-six height. “I came to see you, Mercury. I miss you and I want you back,” he declared boldly.Mercury's eyes widened in disbelief. “Miss me? After everything that happened between us?” She retorted with an incredulous tone. Andrea
Jake and Emily go to the Kings and Queens Collection to splash some money around, as usual, they came in with their rude and arrogant attitude. Parading themselves about like they owned the place and throwing insults at everyone that was unfortunate enough to cross their path.“Hold on, babe. I thought you informed them of our shopping today?” Emily looked stunned by what she saw, she didn't expect to see anyone else at the boutique shopping for anything. With the shock, she drew Jake's attention to it and the billionaire heir joined her in surprise too.“Yes, I did. And why are these peasants all here?” He blasted, fuming with anger. It seemed someone didn't get his memo to reserve the place exclusively for him and Emily to do their special shopping spree. “Hey you, come here,” he ordered one of the attendants with anger.The young man hurried towards him with admiration in his eyes for Jake and his pretty fiancee. “Good day, sir, and…” “Shut your hole. Who gives a fuck about your g
Stella Sullivan waited patiently for the CEO of Megalon Agencies to come out of the bathroom so he could attend to why she was at his office. After a few minutes inside, the CEO finally came out, covered in shame. Of all people, it was Stella Sullivan who caught him in such a compromised position with his secretary. Knowing who the Sullivans were, he knew they were going to exploit it and he couldn't escape it, especially with his recent misbehaviours towards them.Shamefully, he walked out and slowly went behind his desk, trying his best to avoid making eye contact with her, but her eyes were fixed on him. “So, you finally made it, huh? You finally forced your secretary to have sex with you, you pervert.” Stella began by blasting him off for his deeds.The man remained silent, covering his face to cover his shame. He couldn't utter a word as he knew it would only make things worse for him. If it were someone else who had caught him, he was ruthless enough to know how to put the perso
Jake and Emily continued to create a scene at the shopping hall of Kings and Queens Collection until they called for Linda. Linda walked to them and enquired what she could do for them.“I want this place evacuated this minute. Send all these poor folks out of here now!” Jake thundered his instructions to her.Linda looked drained of options and conflicted between her choices. “Sir, I must say, your reservation for exclusive shopping was canceled and hence why it may not be possible to carry out your instructions.” With a calm and reasonable tone, she made it clear to the couple what the other attendant had tried to explain to them before he received a slap.“Babe, what the hell is she talking about?” Emily looked confused as she questioned Jake, it didn't seem possible to them that they could make a reservation and the reservation would be canceled.Jake looked at Linda sternly, his anger channeled from not getting a proper explanation to the audacity anyone had to cancel his reserva
