Lydia held the remote as she watched the news about what happened to Marcus' company. Alexander also concentrated on the news."What... what is happening?" Lydia mumbled, stammering, unable to believe her eyes. Meanwhile, Alexander was happy seeing this; his biggest competitor would be out of the market."How can he be so negligent like that, to make a product harmful to the consumer?" Alexander stated.Lydia sniffed and uttered, "No, Marcus will going to lose everything, he will be back at square one." She was scared of that happening.Meanwhile, Kathie, Paulina, and Ivan were on the case investigating the matter, but they were not getting any leads. Almost all the investors have withdrawn.They all sat in Marcus's house, in the sitting room, thinking of what's next."We don't get any lead at all; someone is exchanging the goods for the bad one, and we can't even trace the asshole," Ivan frustratingly said.The others were all quiet, saying nothing.Ivan angrily slammed the table, "I
Sophia exited her car, dressed in her short gown that hugged her body, showing off her perfection. She walked straight into the gym, and as everyone noticed her arrival, it was like everything stopped, their attention fixed on the beauty that just entered. Sophia smiled as she walked in, full of aura. Just then, she slipped and was about to fall when the man beside her immediately caught her."Oh, thanks... so much," she softly said with her gentle voice as she bowed."It's nothing... good thing you didn't hurt yourself," the man also gently stated.Sophia raised her head to the man who saved her, and it was Hales. She looked at him with a shocked face as Hales also seemed to be shocked himself. He knew Sophia and how close she was to Marcus.He immediately wanted to ignore her and go back to his weight lifting when Sophia caught him by his hand. "Why should I thank you for what you did?"Hales frowned as he grunted, "Uh, you just thanked me, it's okay.""What about treating you to a
Hales frowned after he found out that he had been betrayed, not even that, he was deceived; this was Sophia's plan from the beginning. She wanted to make him fall for her and then split, and he just fell for it.The police officer stepped forward and brought out a handcuff, "Mr. Hales, you are under arrest for abetting and endangering people's lives. We just heard your confession. You have the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent."Hales just stared at Sophia, who was busy eating. He sneered, "I will return, and I will make sure to kill you."The police officer added to his charges, "And the..." The other police officers tapped him to get up, and he gently did as they slammed the handcuff in his hand. Everyone in the restaurant watched as they took him out, leaving only Sophia and others in the room.Kathie sat in front of Sophia, "Are you enjoying the food?"Sophia nodded, "Yeah, it's great... that asshole, I can't believe he would fall for something as cheap as that."
Mr. Victor scoffed at Marcus's audacity. He told him, "I heard your father is in the hospital. He can't save you from me, you know that, so stop provoking me."Marcus scoffed back, "You can't do anything to me, nothing."Sophia noticed the tension and rushed in between them. "Please stop this, the two of you. Dad, there is not any relationship between me and Marcus, so you shouldn't worry."Mr. Victor stared at his daughter and sighed. "This will be his last time. If I see him around you, I won't hesitate to... him. You know nothing will happen to me if I do it."Marcus nodded and whispered, "Yeah, nothing will happen, just like how you killed her mom. Does she know about that?"Mr. Victor's eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger crossing his face. "What the hell are you saying? What do you know?"Marcus smirked, "I know many things, and I know that me and Sophia have the same mother. That is the reason you are trying so hard to keep us apart.""Look, don't make speculation about what you
Sophia sipped her wine again, "Look, that is what we are going to do, and we will face the consequences once and for all. We will tell him our decision; he can't choose for us."Alexander grinned, "Looks like you don't know your father. You don't know what he is capable of. We just have to pretend we like each other. That's all. Till we have a solution to this, we will just play along.""Uh, you think that's a good idea? We should just tell him right from the start," Sophia insisted.Alexander nodded, "I have to find a way to be free from your father first. Till then, we should just play along."Sophia nodded and supported, "Okay, we should just do that."*****Marcus walked Lydia out after they had signed the deal. "Thanks for working with us," Marcus stated. Lydia shook her head, "Okay, we will talk later," she then entered her car and drove away. Marcus watched as her car drove away, then turned and walked back inside.Kathie rushed to him, "Wow, that is a good offer. I can't belie
Mr. Victor's cold demeanor sent shivers down Alexander's spine as he stared at the gun pointed at him."What are you doing, are you going to kill me?" Alexander demanded.Mr. Victor scoffed, "Yeah, I can do that, you know what I'm capable of.""Yeah, just do it and let's end it all, but you know, you will become nothing without me," Alexander threatened."Wow, I like your fighting spirit, love it, but that will end up with nothing, and you can even end up dead," Mr. Victor said, still pointing the gun at him."I don't know the reason you are doing this, I don't love your daughter, and I'm not marrying her," Alexander fought back.Mr. Victor's expression hardened. "Wow, Olive, I wonder how she is doing since you left, so I checked on her."Alexander's expression shifted to shock. "What, what are you saying? You checked on her?""Yeah, she is doing great for the moment, but I can't say what will happen after what will happen here," Mr. Victor kept threatening him.Olive was a teen girl
After a peaceful two weeks, while Lydia was recovering from the injury of the incident, she didn't hear at all from Alexander.After she fully recovered, she walked to his company and waited for him, she sat in her car for many hours waiting for him to come out. She waited for the whole day, and it was evening already, as she was about to leave, then Alexander walked outside from the company, she immediately dashed down and rushed towards him before he entered his car."Alexander," she called his name.Alexander was shocked to see her and immediately tried to ignore her as he wanted to enter his car, but Lydia held his hand.He hollered at her, "Are you that stupid? What the hell are you looking for here? Aren't you afraid of being killed?""I just want to see you, and we should plan things out," Lydia muttered.Alexander chuckled, "What, are you really joking right now or you really mean it? What the hell are you saying? You witnessed a near-death experience some weeks ago, and you
Chapter 84. “What's wrong, what happened”, Marcus curiously asked. Kathie bit her lips as she began, “Sir, this letter was sent to you this evening, I don't know where it comes from, but you should certainly see it”. He stood there, wondering as Kathie brought out the letter and gave it to him, he checked it out and read the content. A sentence that immediately broke his heart. “My son, be careful!”. “What…what?, Is this!!”, He stammered, the letter shaking in his hand. “We don't know, we are currently on it”, she said. Marcus crumbled the letters, “this must absolutely be some shit, my father is on the sick bed, I am very sure he isn't the one that sent this, someone is behind this!”. “yeah, actually a dispatch either delivered it, so we are tracing it back on him, we will eventually find some answer in it”, she said. Marcus nodded, then remembered what Lydia told him, he asked her, “what happened to Lydia, and why don't you inform me about it?”. “I'm about to, you are busy,
