The drug lord smiled at the suggestion. It pleased him how the plan had put him in a position where he could meet the person who had lied to him all these years. Michael nodded and walked to his office. Having just found out that the drug lord was not his father made him a little uneasy. Someone out there was trying to mess with his head and he was not going to have it. The company was doing well under Michael West. In fact, they had just been given the brand of the year award. On top of that, Samuel Pearson wanted them to have a partnership and extend it to other cities around, ultimately catapulting them to new heights, as the biggest company in the whole of England. Michael was on his computer when he heard the first knock. He hoped that the knock was not on his door; and he continued what he was doing. He was working on a plan to present to the board to mitigate the effect of their recent economic woes. The knock came again, it was on his door. Who would be coming to his house?
Cynthia went out as Michael continued reading the newspaper. Thirty seconds later, the door to the office opened and someone walked in. Michael puts down his newspaper and stands. He has met Mr. Samuel before, when he was set up to be killed by Liam and Clara. This man had come to his aid and saved. Liam and Clara thought that they had killed him but Mr. Samuel came to the ditch, picked him up and sent him to the hospital. ‘Thank you for having me at this odd hour. I know it is past work time and I had to come at this time so that no one will notice my presence here.’‘It is fine my Samuel. Thank you for coming. I also want to thank you for saving my life.’‘You and I have been acquainted before. And I thank you that at this time, you have decided to come to my rescue once again.’‘Well, it is a small world. You can be my helper tomorrow.’‘Yea. You are correct.’‘So, donaldation is going through quite a lot but there is nothing that cannot be salvaged. I intend to pump in some billi
Michael froze as he saw the prostitute stroll into the lounge and threw herself between Isabella and him. The prostitute stroked his chin, totally ignoring Isabella.‘Baby has missed you, though it is healthy and strong.’ The prostitute continues, rubbing the curvature of the emerging bulge that was her stomach, with one hand while still rubbing Michael’s chin.Isabella dropped the glass and stood up to leave. Michael stood up quickly and distancing himself from the prostitute, who was still on the chair, ran to Isabella’s side and held her arm.‘Please Isabella, it is not…’‘It is not what?’ Isabella’s response shocked him but he didn’t let go of her arm. Isabella continued. ‘Every time, you say it is not what you think, but she is always around you. I thought we would have this place to ourselves to talk things over.’‘To talk what things over?’ The prostitute intruded. She had stood up and was holding Michael’s other arm. ‘So Michael, you would leave me, who is carrying your child
Isabella had just come back to the apartment. She had expected to meet Diana on the way but she didn’t. At the apartment, she unpacked her dresses, swept and arranged it to her taste. Then she decided to lie down on her bed and rest for a while. The room had a toilet, bathroom and kitchen, together with a small balcony which gave a good view of the street below. Her phone beeped and she saw it was a message in inviting her to the actors and actresses party. Isabella was thrilled. She jumped up and down on her bed. Then she reached out for her phone and dialed Michael’s number. Michael picked up after the first ring.‘I just got the invite to the party.’ Isabella shouted excitedly into the receiver. Michael laughed. It had been a long time since someone was this excited because of anything and it made him happy. ‘Did you have anything to do with it because I know that I was not incited before?’‘Why would you think I had anything to do with it? Didn’t I tell you that wishes come true
Diana looked at him. Her mouth fell open. She thought it was ridiculous at first but on a close look at it, it could see some sense in it. The last heist wasn’t successful because it was planned well. They didn’t take into cognizance the fact that Michael had more strength than the lady they had employed, because he is a man. If he had been subdued by drugs, perhaps it would be easy for their plan to succeed. ‘Good thinking. You are such a brilliant strategist. Let us get to work.’ Diana pecks Liam on the cheek, who is shocked and they both look around to see if anyone was watching. And seeing none, being that they were in an underground parking lot and Clara and her brother had gone ahead of them, they turned and looked at each other and begin to kiss.Michael had just gotten the files of all the proposals for the park project that Cynthia had approved for scrutiny. He trusted her judgment and decides to take her word as truth. Then he runs into Isabella at the reception. She had ju
Diana got 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? She doesn’t even open her legs for you. All that poor wannabe does is to spend your money and give you nothing in return.’Liam didn’t respond. Oh I understand now, Diana thought to herself, I am now the bad person right? Wasn’t he the one who decided to have the affair with me? Did I force him? Why am I looked at like the bad person here?Liam wore his clothes; picked up is phone and coat. As he was about to cross the door, Diana rushed over to where he stood and blocked him. Diana wanted to know that things were cool between them. He might go to beg that bitch and reconcile with her so far he comes back to her; she needed this relationship to continue. This is the first guy in over five years to look at her like that and make her feel like a woman. His energy and ar
He walked to the window and looked out to the city. He was going to be a father soon. Isabella was carrying his child and he was scared and excited. How could she keep such news from him? Did she plan to raise the child alone?“Hello Michael. What are you doing here?” it was Isabella.Michael jumped and turned to her. “You look worried. Why?” Isabella said“Don’t worry. I am just a little tired. Are you feeling okay?”Michael felt the effort in her voice.“Then you must get some rest. Have you had something to eat?”At this point, a soft laughter forced its way out of Michael’s mouth which made her smile. The smile spread slowly over her face.“I should be worried about you. I am fine.”The machines continued to beep their presence and the air still smelled like disinfectant.He wanted to ask her why she didn’t tell him she was pregnant with their child but he decided that it was the bad time. The doctor had warned that she shouldn’t be told any distressing news or allowed to be stre
Feeling alone, Michael didn’t feel like going home. He didn’t have a family anymore. His parents had died years ago. He had no living relative; that was why, when he married Diana, he decided to become a full time husband, caring for his wife and staying around in the house. His parents had left him substantial wealth to last him two lifetimes but he felt that the love of a loved one was what he missed more in his life. He wanted to be there for here; all he wanted in return was for Diana to love him in return.Now that he felt alone, he returned to the place where his mother was resting, the city’s cemetery. Having died about seven years ago, she is the only member of his family that was buried on US soil. Every other member, including his father had been buried in Europe. His mother’s grave was a grand mausoleum-like structure, housing her sarcophagus and burial site. He didn’t want to enter the structure because he had arrived unannounced and didn’t want to call on the cemetery kee
