It has been five days now and the pictures are still circulating. The whole of Beaumont is talking about it, but Michael doesn’t care. He believes it will blow over and no one will talk about once a news gossip comes to town. All he is worried about is his position at the company and Isabella. Michael has been trying to talk to Isabella but she was not talking to him or picking his call. Whenever he goes to her office to talk to her, she says she is busy and walks out on him or ignores him. She calls at her house and she would not see him. He gets upset. His mind is not at rest as he tries to find a way to get her to talk to him. Even if she wants to quarrel with him, it was better than giving him the silent treatment. There was a management meeting that was called. Cynthia had come to terms with the bad pictures of her boss, and Michael loved that about him. She stepped into the office and presented him with the agenda for the meeting together with the necessary report. ‘I have dr
Liam was in a joyful mood when he heard the knock on the door. The music he was playing was not loud but lost in the music. He didn’t go to open it at first, thinking it was someone in the neighbourhood doing some carpentry work. Then the knock came again. Lowering the volume of the music, he went to the door and opened it.‘Ah Diana, welcome. You came at the right time.’Diana came into the room, surprised by the music and the mood of the place.‘What is going on.’ She asked.Liam closed the door and came to where she stood and moved his waist in front of her. She laughed and covered her face with her hands. ‘Join me in dancing on the victory we have won today.’‘And what is that?’‘The park project has been stopped by order of the court.’‘Oh really.’‘Yes. Judge Turner approved the halting of the project till further notice. Since we didn’t get the project, any other person who wants to have it will not enjoy the peace of it. We will make sure to frustrate the plan.’‘So no work i
It was Liam who saw her first. There was shock on his face. He pushed Diana aside and ran to Clara.‘It is not what you think.’ He begged. Clara looked him up and down, his zipper was still losing and his junior, which was now hanging low, was still visible. Diana saw Clara and sat on the bed. She didn’t say anything. Clara looked at them both and walked out of the apartment. Diana tried to pull Liam to myself for the bed to continue what they were doing before Clara came in, but he refused to join in. He just stayed silent, as he wore his clothes and dressed up. ‘Do n't allow that girl to spoil the fun?’ I said, trying desperately to diffuse the guilt he was feeling.Liam stopped what he was doing, looked at me as if I was mad and continued what he was doing.Diana got so irritated by his attitude, that she sat up and kneeling on the bed and barked at him. ‘I mean, why do you keep going back to her? Does she satisfy you the way I do? Does she make you feel good, feel like a man? S
The following evening, Clara stood before the assessing wrought- iron gates of the Donald estate, steeling herself for the battle ahead.She cut an intimidating figure in her satiny burgundy dress and towering stilettos, every inch the power player ready to claim her due place among Beaumont's nobility.Liam cast her a reassuring regard as the gates swung open, granting them entry to the strictly manicured grounds." Just flash back what we bandied. Stay confident, do not let Donald rattle you." Clara gave a curt nod. She did not need his advice- she had been preparing for this moment her entire life. The woman of a fat businessman, prepped from birth to navigate Beaumont's savage social waters with cunning and grace. They were steered into a cavernous study, the walls lined with bottom- to- ceiling bookshelves and priceless vestiges. Behind an assessing mahogany office sat a tableware- haired man with cold, setting eyes. Jonathan Donald in the meat. "Ms.Robert," he said by way of g
‘Why haven’t you introduced me to Michael yet? I have been asking you this for the past hour and you don’t want to respond.’ the hit man asked Liam. They were at the Riviera hotel where they went to scout Michael. The man was not having it with Liam after sitting there for about one hour. Liam had just put down his phone after making a call to a friend to ask about Michael. Then he took a sip of his drink and responded.‘I have asked the hotel workers and they said they haven’t seen him for days now. it seems Michael is not in town.’‘Or it seems your chicken heart could not bear to do what needs to be done. So, you had to warn him.’‘What do you mean by that?’‘It is clear what I mean? What are you going to do?’‘Liam raised his hand to hit the man but he ran quickly, went to Liam’s side and pressed the barrel of his gun to Liam’s hip, and then he said.‘If you do anything funny, I will bury a bullet in your hip bone and you will never walk for the rest of your life. So sit down an
Samuel Pearson didn’t want his name to be known. As someone who inherited considerable wealth from his family and has direct links to the great royal families of Europe, he strives to have his money and not rely on family. To him, relying on any family ties or connections is an insult to a person’s intelligence, because everyone is born intelligent, and what is the use of intelligence if it is not used.Samuel was really interested in donaldation because of Michael West. He had saved Michael from being killed by Liam and the Roberts family when they sought to take his life as revenge for their misfortunes, thinking that Michael had anything to do with it. The night the ship capsized on the Atlantic Ocean, it was all over the news and he was on a flight to Copenhagen to attend a business conference and visit his sister who was married to the archduke. He got on the phone with his secretary who was in Beaumont.‘I want you to look into Michael West and his connection with the Roberts fa
‘Why have you put me in suspense? I have called and texted and called at your house, but to no avail.’ Michael said.He held Isabella on the arm, unwilling to let go but careful not to infuriate her. Isabella had gone to the Riviera in hopes of running into Solomon, her first boyfriend. ‘I have always been with my phone. When did you call?’‘You have been with your phone Isabella. Why are you avoiding me? The prostitute and I are not a thing, please believe me.’Isabella kept quiet and looked at him. It was clear she had not believed what he just told her.‘Please say something Isabella. Please talk to me. You can join me in my lounge. We can talk. You can shout at me, tell me whatever is on your mind but don’t be quiet, please.’Isabella looked around, hoping to see Solomon and extricate herself from Michael’s clutch. She didn’t want to call Solomon’s number for fear of appearing cheap and passing the wrong message. They had stopped talking since she left university in the United K
“Do you mean she never told you?” Dr. Kyle wore the question on his face.Michael shook his head, slowly. He was still shocked at what she had just heard. The doctor pulled him aside and indicated for them to take a walk along a lonely corridor.“Isabella is pregnant for you’ he said, ‘that is partly why she fell down. We are worried about the injury on her head. Her brain was not affected but we shall not know the extent of the wound until a few weeks from now.”“She never told me about the pregnancy. Is she going to be alright?”“I am afraid, I cannot answer that now. However, we are keeping her under close observation and will release her when we think she is fit to go home. In the meantime, please don’t bring her any distressing news now. She might not be in the right state to take any. Try to spend as much time as you can with her.”“Okay. Thank you, doctor.”The doctor’s face was grim when he nodded in acknowledgment and walked away.Michael walked back to the wards and after as
