"Do you forgive me?" Josephine felt his warm breath on her back.The hug lasted for a while and Authur finally broke free."No" Authur faked a frown." just kidding! How can I ever get mad at you? Miss cutie" Josephine blushed lightly, she tucked her hair behind her ear and looked away from Authur."I wonder who the unknown user is. I just can't stop thinking about it." Authur took in a deep breath, he just couldn't connect the dots.If Josephine wasn't the one, then who could it be?"Maybe Dylan? I'm not sure" Josephine hesitated for a brief moment before she said. " I caught him looking at your social profile." Authur remained silent and refrained from speaking, he gave Josephine a sad smile before looking away.If Dylan was the one who had been messing up with him then he would teach the man a great lesson and make him regret it."Stop the car!" Authur ordered his driver and the man immediately hit the brakes.The driver's name was Kelvin, he had been working for Authur, for the
Dylan scoffed"Have you come back to beg?" Josephine's eyes darted back and forth, talking to Dylan was of no use."Why did you treat my son that way?" Mr Cooper stared at her with such intensity that could make her vanish.Mr Cooper yelled as she opened her mouth to say something."Can't you see how injured he is? Mr Maxwell beat him up just because of you! You are very shameless! Apologize to my son now!" Josephine intertwined her fingers, she knew Mr Cooper would support his son and honestly she was expecting it.She didn't come there to beg, all she wanted was to take her belongings and drop her resignation letter."I am sorry. I came here to drop my resignation letter." Josephine walked forward and placed the neatly folded sheet of paper on the desk.Dylan felt angry as he saw the letter, he looked at her and then looked back at his father."What's the meaning of this?" Mr Cooper angrily threw the paper at her. "What's this? Do you think a silly piece of paper is enough to fix th
"Mr Maxwell, we can talk about this. Please have a seat and let's discuss" Mr Cooper smiled even though he was hurting.Dylan was beyond shocked, he clenched his fist so hard and didn't notice that his knuckles had already gone pale."Stay out of this Dylan" Mr Cooper warned, not wanting him to screw it up again.Authur said casually. "Is there anything you want to say, Mr Cooper? You have just five minutes to speak." Mr Cooper swallowed back his spit, he wasn't prepared for that and he never expected the new owner to be Mr Maxwell."Can you please give us a week…we are not really prepared for this." Mr Cooper stammered as he spoke.Authur gave him a look of disdain. "Are you trying to go against my orders?" "No, it's just that I need some time to announce to the press and inform them about the new ownership of Angel's Haven." Mr Cooper tried his best to convince him.Authur snapped at him. "Twenty-four hours, you have less than twenty-four hours to get things done! I don't care how
The three men looked around the room."Hey let's go, there's no one here!" One of the men instructed."Yh It's just a false alarm " " I just saw a leg behind the locker, hurry let's check it out!" As the men decided that they would leave, a man yelled immediately after he spotted Authur's leg.Authur's heart skipped a beat, if they caught him then he wouldn't have enough time to look for the gem.That was the only safe spot he could find and now he was caught.He could only brace up for what was about to happen and defend himself.Authur's face was revealed as a man kicked the locker to the side, he stared at them coldly and waited for their next move.The door was slightly open and two of the men were standing close to the door, Authur didn't want to make a run for it.If he did then he would be caught. He would rather take them down before the other security men outside the building figured out that something was wrong.Scott pointed a gun at Authur. "Hey! What are you doing here?
One month later***Today was Josephine's high school reunion party, the party was held at Crystal Convection Center.It was an all-out masquerade ball where everyone was required to wear a mask.Authur and Josephine decided to show up to the party together because they both attended the same high school.They pulled up in a sleek red Bentley, the bodyguards stepped out to open the door for both Authur and Josephine.Authur held Josephine's hand in his, they elegantly walked into the hall.As they entered the ballroom, the crowd fell silent and they gaped in awe as they saw Authur and Josephine.They were the picture perfection and the couple commanded the attention of the entire room.Authur was dressed in a classic black tuxedo, his white bow tie was starched to perfection and he looked like he had stepped straight out of Hollywood, his face mask was made of black silk which gave him an air of sophistication and class.And Josephine was just as stunning as Authur, her red dress was m
Audrey laughed in pure mockery. "Haha! I would never kiss those dirty feet of yours." Authur cast a venomous look in his direction. A chill swept through the room as he glared at him."Coward!" Authur spat angrily. "You have always been a coward, all you do is hide behind those tiny balls between your legs."Audrey's smile froze, he was clearly angry with the words that Authur directed at him. If Authur wanted to humiliate him then he would also put Authur back in the place where he once belonged.Audrey scrutinized Authur from head to toe, his blood boiled with deep hatred as he stared at him. He blurted out. "So what if you can afford one million? Nobody cares. We all don't give a fuck about how rich you have become, I can buy that ring for more than a million if I wanted to, I…""Then buy it, I will resell it to you for one million dollars. Buy it and prove to everyone present here that you are still that tough guy that you always portrayed yourself to be." Authur said before Audr
Authur grinned while they took pictures of Audrey kissing his feet, he took his leg away from Audrey's face and walked towards the glass box.Audrey bowed his head in shame before he ran out of the building, he couldn't afford to get embarrassed again.Authur stood before the glass box, he placed his hand into the box and held the necklace in his hands, after staring at it for a long while, he walked back to meet Josephine.The ladies gasped the moment he placed the chain on Josephine's neck.It was really beautiful and seeing it on her neck made it even better.Some ladies even whispered and hissed because they were jealous of the lady.If only they could get a man that could get a necklace worth a million dollars for them.Josephine blushed lightly, the mask covered her face so no one could see her expression at that time.She flew into his arms and hugged him tightly as if she were hugging a candy."Thank you" she whispered loud enough for him to hear.Authur patted her back before
The wind blew his hair and the cold breeze hit his face.It was around 3 am in the early hours of the morning and Authur was at a public graveyard.For some reason, he kept dreaming about his late father and he decided that he would visit him today.His relationship with his father was more than a father-son relationship, when he was little, he prayed that the angels in heaven would keep his family alive and healthy to see him succeed.His father was indeed a strong man, he was the one who always encouraged Authur to never give up.Authur sat down on the floor, there wasn't a single soul in the area, it was very quiet.He placed his hands on the smooth cemented grave and said a word of prayer.After he was done praying, he left the grave and was just about to enter his car when he saw a man with an axe.Authur didn't think much of it, he assumed he was just a cemetery guard.But his outfit made Authur raise his brow in suspicion.The man was wearing a long black cloak and even with the
