He settled to take another spoon of food when a familiar face walked towards him. His father's former lawyer, Mr. Timi with a robust face that wasn't robust anymore. He always wondered what happened to the man after his dad died but was afraid to ask his stepmother."Hello, Henry Cavil. It's so good to see you," Mr Timi said, sitting next to him. "When your stepmother announced to the world you were dead, I didn't believe it for once. I went to the house to see Doreen but she wouldn't let me."Henry smiled, taking another bite of his pie, "It's alright, I am not new to what my stepmother can do. You never did show up after Dad died. What happened?"Mr. Timi swallowed, watching Henry, "Your stepmother fired me when I found out she changed your Dad's will. He didn't leave anything for her and her children. Everything she spends and uses right now belongs to you and Doreen. You heard what happened to your sister right?Henry nodded. He wasn't surprised about his stepmother's actions. Now
"No, ma'am. The Taiwanese don't have anything on them either. Their accounts were breached and they froze them until they could figure out what happened to the accounts. I called the investors and our banks. They can't help us, Mom. I don't know what else to do," Jake groaned, standing up.Mrs. Cavil cried, "Oh no! What about the Swiss account Taiwan told us to keep in case of the cops' search? We can use that right?"Jake's eyes turned sad, "Yes, mom. The Taiwan told us to use the funds but I gave everything to Evelyne three days ago to get a massage and one of Louis Vuitton's bags."What did you just spew from your mouth, Jake? You must be kidding," Mr. Cavil laughed nervously, grabbing Jake's hands. " If Eucharia dies, her blood will be on both of your hands. The bill is $2 million because of her health condition and the bills your wretched wife owes the hospital for her plastic surgery! Find that money before I return or else, both of you are dead!Evelyne pulled her jacket togeth
Henry feigned an angry tone, " You need my help on what exactly? I thought I was a useless stepson and one who needed to be dealt with. What happened?""I'm sorry for everything I did then, please, Henry. Eucharia is in the hospital and the doctor has insisted not to treat her until we make a payment and settle a previous bill."They had finally come to him. He was going to make them cry just like they did with Doreen and Mike."I'm on my way. Give me a few minutes. I will be home soon," he replied, cutting his call. He quickly sent a text to Louis informing him of their call. He bade Tough Dee goodbye and drove out of the house.He tried not to think of what he was about to do but focus on driving and listening to a soundtrack that Mike loved so much.A few minutes later, he drove into the driveway, saluting the security guards and stopping the car. He saw Jake first, then Evelyne looking older than before. Her emerald eyes which held an appeal to him before looked sad and freaky."H
"Mother, why did you reject Henry's help? You know he was the only one who could have helped us and helped Eucharia," Jake yelled, holding his mum with an intense gaze.Mrs. Cavil huffed, "You want me to collect a useless stepson's money? One who made us use our lips to pick money from the sand like pigs? No! I would rather watch my daughter die than accept help from the devil! To think that before I could even reject his help, that wicked Henry already retracted his funds!""That's what the doctor said too. It's alright, Mum. She's paralyzed already and there's nothing we can do but find ways to make her comfortable and better.""No, it isn't alright. Evelyne told me you gave Henry our properties in exchange for the money! The money he didn't pay! Jake, you're going to get him for that and collect what we own, alright?" Mrs. Cavil yelled."Alright, mum, I would start some discussion with the Taiwans on what to do. I think that settles it, right?"Mrs. Cavil rolled her eyes, "And he m
"Louis, I'm so mad right now! The Taiwans tried to kill us while on our way to Mike's school. If not because of my karate skills, we will be dead right now. I need to know what to do right now to make them know I don't like people sending gunslingers after me!"Louis scrambled up to his feet, "I think we can send a letter bomb to their company, destroying their products. That should make them think twice about attacking you next time."Henry digested his suggestion but that would be disastrous. Innocent people were working there. What if he struck at the wrong time? No, he couldn't do that but he had money and power. What if he implanted drugs in one of their store rooms and called the cops on them?Smiling at Louis, he picked a glass of wine, sipping slowly. He just needed the right team to execute his plan."I think your idea is great but we would hurt innocent people and I don't want that. A lot is happening now and I know my stepmother is probably the one orchestrating this so, we
"Hi, buddy. What's up with you?" Henry asked, leading Mike to the stable. Tough Dee had done an impressive job with the stable. The stallion, mare, and yearling were doing great all thanks to the stableman, Tough Dee got for them. Maybe someday, he would buy another stallion for breeding. Now, what was the name Tough Dee used in describing them? Stud! Mike let go of his hands and ran to the mare, playing with her hair. Henry chuckled, the little boy was trying to get up the mare which was impossible. He returned to meet Henry and mouthed, please."Alright, buddy but you can also ride her once. She's not a riding horse for now until Tough Dee says so." Henry replied, helping him with the mare's saddleback. Henry adjusted the reins in Mike's hands and soon, they were strolling the huge land, greeting the workers on the farms and stopping briefly to talk with the stableman.It was almost lunchtime when they returned to the house. Henry was tired but not Mike. He wanted an ice cream thi
Meetings were one interesting part of Henry's life. Here, he could be the observer and watch his employees give updates. Doreen's Xbox was finally ready. The engineers had managed to keep the project running by employing more hands and using a more secure site which had cost Henry a lot of money but money wasn't his problem anymore. Collins gave a run down on how the testing will go and the media team they had invited. It was going to be the biggest feat in the city."Alright, everybody. Thank you all for keeping the work activities growing. It's not an easy feat though but y'all make it easy and productive. We had a fire outbreak a few days ago but look at us now, celebrating the successes of the engineers who worked hard for this. Keep up the good work guys," Henry applauded, encouraging others to do so.After the employees had dropped their files with his secretary, Henry strode out of the room. He had a meeting with Max. He quickly sent a text to the chauffeur informing him to be
It was a huge money then and a way out of the marriage but she refused. Jake suggested I use violence and I stupidly listened. We argued and out of fury and the jeers from Jake calling me a woman, I pushed her down the stairs."Henry stood up abruptly, "You pushed my sister down the stairs just because she wouldn't give you our inheritance? You are a callous bastard, Max! What happened next?"Max sniffed, "I left her there. I thought Jake and Jerry would take her to the hospital but they didn't. It was one of the housekeepers who did so and a few nights later, I found her body by my side and a note.""A note?" Why didn't you mention the note before?""Jake threatened to kill me in prison if I told the court the truth. The note said I should raise an alarm and claim I found her dead by my side. She also stated I should follow them to the mortuary ensuring they left the door open. I did all that and left. That was the last time I saw Doreen. I know she's alive somewhere but I couldn't t
