"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
Henry nodded, munching through the plans. Jake and his stepmother were desperate and selfish. They would do anything to get the ten million grant and when they did, he was going to make Jake fall into his trap and finally lock him up in jail. Jerry? That rebellious rude one? He was going to meet the same fate as his brother. Eucharia was out of the picture now. She was paralyzed on the left side of her body. She deserved it though. She's the reason why Doreen has a large iron burnt mark on her back.He cringed at the memory, it was still fresh in his mind. Doreen had borrowed her dress for a play in school then. She was the lead actress and the teacher wanted her to look beautiful but all the clothes she had were either torn or not suitable, all thanks to his stepmother. He remembered Doreen repeatedly telling Eucharia about the dress and the agreement they had. Only for Doreen to come home and meet false accusations. He wasn't home then but when he returned, he saw his sister writ
Henry bowed and left the conference room. The journalists were rushing after him but thanks to the security team, they brushed them away and escorted them to the office. He picked up a cup of iced tea when Louis stepped in like a thief panting hard."What's wrong, Louis?" Henry yelled, unable to control his irritation.Louis coughed, falling into the chair, "The Taiwans attacked one of the hotels. Don Aruto is furious right now because his in-laws were having their lunch when it happened! He said you should call him immediately after you get the news.""My God! Hope nobody was hurt. I'm going to get Dave for this! That ruthless prodigy!""Hold your horses, boss. Nobody got hurt but the hotel needs a lot of repairs. I already told them to close down the business for now, until we get everything under control."Henry sighed inwardly. The Taiwans needed to be put in their place. He was getting tired of their ruthlessness and greediness."Okay, I would speak to the manager to know what
She sighed inwardly, afraid to hope, "Are you sure it would work? Your stepmother is powerful, Henry! She will come after us once she finds out.""Don't worry, Kimberly. Let me bother about that or don't you trust Henry anymore?"Kimberly chuckled, "I do. I believe in you. What about Doreen? I heard about what happened but I still don't believe it!"Henry heaved, thinking about everything Max told him, then Mr. Timi. Should he tell her? No, not yet. "Doreen would reveal herself in due time. She's alive but I can't tell you anything right now until we get at least one of the Cavil in jail!""Thank you, Henry. We would talk later. Mr.Viola is waiting for you," she replied, directing him to Mr Viola's office."Wait. Let me have your bank account number. Doreen would be happy if I helped out with some of your needs."Kimberly stammered, "I'm grateful, Henry. I do need money right now, my house rent is due but Mr. Viola has been having issues of his own.""I'm aware of that. Mrs. Cavil, m
Henry pressed his fingerprint and the transfer went immediately. "It's done but I still need one of your security companies. You didn't mention that but I understand, it's a joint venture with Don Aruto right?"Mr. Viola, recovering from the shock of Henry's quick transfer, replied, "Thank you, Henry. You just saved me from protests and public ridicule. About the security firm, I can do that but you will need to speak with Don Aruto first."Remembering his long conversation with Don Aruto after the fire outbreak at one of the hotels, Henry smiled, showing Mr. Viola a document, "I already spoke to him, he signed his shares to me, it remains yours."That was quick, Mr. Viola thought, reading through the documents, then signing them, then handing them over to Henry, "You're making big moves, Henry. I'm proud of you and I'm sure your father would be. May his soul continue to rest in peace, Amen."Henry nodded, taking the documents, "Amen, thank you. It was nice doing business with you. D
"Is that the CEO of Hundeyin? Omg! That's the Doreen Xbox! It's so beautiful!" a young lady whispered, as Henry walked past them.He smiled, yeah, keep talking, that's what he needed right now."Boss, I think you've gathered an audience already. They're checking out the car," Louis said, glancing over his shoulder.Henry followed his gaze and found them glowing at the car but the chauffeur was sending them off. "It looks like Chauffeur Mil is sending them off. Anyway, let them check the vehicle out, they're our customers, right?"Louis grunted, "Yeah and your stepfamily are around too. Look at Evelyne and Jake!"Henry paused, watching his ex-wife and stepbrother step into the casino. His stepmother wasn't with them neither was that Jerry! "My stepmom and Jerry aren't with them. That's odd.""I think they're not in the city. I heard one of the housekeepers saying they used another airline instead of yours because of the last embarrassment they received. About Jerry, have the lawyers st
