It was finally D-Day for the banquet. Walking side by side with his father, Jonathan made his way into the building which was already getting filled up with the invited guests. Since it was his first time attending an occasion of this sort, he was overwhelmed. He kept looking around as he avoided bumping into people who were moving about. “How is business going?” Gray asked, casting him a brief stare. Since they met at the entrance of the building, this was the first time they were speaking. “I just began… I don't think I have an answer for that.” He muttered, biting his lower lips. Meeting up with the demanding job was draining and he had to keep up with it, lest he forfeited taking over the family business. “In between, you should get yourself a car. Shuttling around in a taxi doesn't speak well of you. People will find it difficult to acknowledge you since you act like them.” He huffed, laying emphasis on the last word. Chuckling lightly, Jonathan pushed his hand into his p
Exchanging glances between Jonathan and Williams, Ariel kept waiting for who was going to give the slightest hint of what was going on but both of them were mute. Unable to bear it anymore, she slammed her fist against the table but before she could start running her mouth, Williams cut in. “Excuse us.” His voice was stern and cold. “I wonder what is going on.” Ariel muttered and after one last look at them, she took her leave. Gripping the edge of the table, William kept darting his eyes around as he tried to calm himself down. Jonathan on the other hand was unperturbed as he kept swirling the content of his glass. “We need to speak.” William broke the silence, still seething. “I have been waiting for you to start the conversation.” Jonathan shrugged, his overall attitude was making William lose his head but since they were in the public, he couldn't do anything. “Let's talk outside.” He suggested and Jonathan didn't hesitate to follow him. The moment they got out of the buil
It was like the whole world crashing on Williams shoulder as he wished for the ground to open up and swallow him alive but that never happened. Gulping, he pushed his hand into his hair as he reached out for his phone. The only person he could think of calling was his father, he was the only one that could help him out of the mess he had created for himself. Just when he was about to dial his phone, Ariel walked in, her hands across her chest. “You see what you have brought upon yourself.” She said in a mocking tone, looking him over. He wanted to speak to defend himself but he couldn't as his tongue was tied. “I'm disappointed in you…” She broke into tears only to push Williams off when he tried to touch her. “You stink.” She yelled in his face, wielding her middle finger at him. “Ariel please hear me out.” He called after her but she kept walking. “Believe me it's just a ploy to dent my name… we could have settled this amicably but he decided to make a mountain out of a molehi
“Williams!” She exclaimed, gasping for breath when she finally found her tongue to speak. “I’m sorry but that is the truth. If I had known something of this sort was going to happen, I would have adopted her from you.” Williams' words kept sharding Sarah’s heart until it was broken completely. With her eyes welled up in tears, she slid through the couch to the floor with a thud. Sobbing uncontrollably now, she began to rewind how their relationship had begun and how it is ending now. Disheveled, she tried to speak to him but she couldn't find her tongue to do so. When the news of his cheating scandal came online she was grateful because she felt he was finally going to introduce her to the public and then she wouldn't have to go about in shame when she crossed paths with Jonathan but the reverse was the case. “We need to call off our relationship now.” Williams broke the silence in the living room. “You can't do that, Williams. You can't break me completely…” She cried in angu
Jonathan and his father were already at the entrance of his mansion to welcome the Logan's when they arrived. “You're welcome to my humble abode.” Gray said, shaking hands with Harrison before doing the same to Williams who was fidgeting behind him. “You're welcome!” Jonathan said, repeating his father's action. Now seated in the dining room, the men talked while they ate while Jonathan and Williams exchanged glances. This wasn't the initial plan but since his father had decided to involve himself, Jonathan decided to exploit it to the fullest, that was why he invited them for dinner. Wiping his mouth with the serviette next to his plate, Jonathan rose, pushing his chair backwards. “Are you leaving?” Gray asked, looking up from his plate. “No, I need to make a call.” He replied and with a curt bow, he took his leave. Thinking Jonathan was on the move again, Williams left the table, running after him. When he succeeded in cornering him, he placed his hand on his shoulder, pinni
After watching the news airing on TV for a few minutes, Sarah rose, stomping her feet on the floor. With her middle finger pointed in his direction, she yelled, “I can't believe your father stripped you of your position because of a riff raff who he can easily handle. She was speaking to Williams who was sitting on a couch at that time. Pushing her hand into her hair, she walked from one end of the living room to the other before she finally decided to settle in front of him. “Come on Williams, you can't sit back and watch this uncircumcised son of bitch to strip you of everything you have worked hard for.” She huffed. “You have to step up to your game and take over.” She yelled, stomping her feet to drive home her words. Williams, who was already fuming with anger, grasped the edge of the couch so he wouldn't do anything drastic.Sarah, unable to read the situation, continued her little drama, irking him even more. When he couldn't put up with her act anymore, he slammed his f
Sarah kept dialing and redialing Jonathan's contact but the lines were not connecting. When it seemed she wouldn't be able to reach out to him if she kept calling his phone, she decided to go meet with him in the company. On arrival, she strode towards the elevator, not knowing the exact floor his office was located. Luckily for her, when she got off on the fifth floor, Jonathan was standing in front of the elevator. He had just finished a meeting with the board of directors and was heading back to his office. Pushing his hand into his pockets, he titled his head to the side as he wondered what her mission was. “Why are you ignoring me?” She huffed, crossing her hands on her chest, momentarily forgetting what her mission was.“You're married now, I shouldn't be snooping around someone else's wife.” He smacked his lips as he brushed past her but she was quick to pull him back. “You're the lunatic who involved Ariel Lopez in our relationship right?” With her middle finger pointed
Williams, not wanting to lose on all sides, decided to make peace with Ariel. He tried to reach out to her several times but each time he did, his call was directed to voicemail. He didn't need anyone to tell him she was with Jonathan, making him furious but there was nothing he could do about it.Pacing the length of his family mansion, he has his hands resting on his waist as he awaited his father who had agreed to grant him audience after several pleas. Immediately Harrison arrived, he didn't waste time in running to his side only to receive a cold shoulder. “Be snappy with whatever you want to say, I’m busy.” He huffed, walking hurriedly through the hallway. “Father please, I need you to help me.” He took a deep breath and with his hand stuck up in his head, he said, “Ariel left me for him. I have been trying to mend our relationship but she is unwilling to listen to me.” He groaned as Harrison watched him with his hands crossed. “Can you listen to it yourself?” He scowled, r
