He smiled as he walked from the audience and assumed the chairman's seat. He sat and then signalled them to do same.
“I'm glad that you all are behind me solidly and I believe we will work together. I gave everyone here a chance to walk out if they were not ready to work with this administration but no one left. This means that everyone here is willing to work.”He paused and everyone nodded satisfactorily to his speech. He smiled and then continued, “ So let's celebrate my enthronement as the chairman of the billionaire's cartel.” Davin said smiling.“Everyone raise your glass and let's toast to Lord Davin's new reign and the accomplishment of his dream.” James said, taking over the stage.***Isabella was aghast. “Mom, this cannot happen! This cannot be happening. Please , tell me this is a joke! Please tell me this is a bad dream. Wake me up from this dream, please.” Isabella was hysterical. She grabbed Margret's lapels and clung to heIt was party after party for the members of Davin's camp. It was a well deserved victory as the odds played in his favor. He sat back at the mansion and life looked complete to him. His vengeance on the Windsors and Derek made him feel there was no more to life than to drink, eat and enjoy the wealth he had acquired. What more could he ask for, all he needed and ever wanted, he got by the snap of his finger. He looked through the window and the next question he needed to answer was that of his personal aide, “what's next?” James asked his hands behind his head and his legs wide spread.“I don't know James and right now, it feels like I don't have a purpose.” Davin said, pouring a wine into his glass.“I thought so too, all that just for the fun of it and now it's all over.” James said, almost in regret.“I wish we played with them a little longer, now look at us, we're bored.”“I took your fight personal that I put a lot of hold to whatever was go
Helen knew that if she followed him she would look like a child tagging along after him. She wanted to scream in anger but she couldn't. She wanted to cry but it would be too obvious. James was waiting for her reaction. She tried to smile and wave it off but her lips only trembled. “Have you had the opportunity to take a tour around Lord Davin's garden, Helen? They are quite beautiful and you could pass time while waiting for him to come around.” James said, trying to distract her from the present. I don't believe I have, James.” Helen replied with a bit of reluctance but accepted his kind gesture. James walked with her out to the garden, where she sat on a stone bench next to six-foot high stone urns filled with trees and vines. “Here.” James handed her his handkerchief. “I'm not crying.” She said, raising her face to meet his. “I know. See it as Grace's beautiful face, do with it to the extent your anger allows.” He said, turning to greet a passer-by. He propped his foot on the
“You seem angry, what's the matter?”“I think she's also in love with him.”“Who's in love with him?”“His secretary, the new one.” Grace said in an angry tone.“Helen?” The voice asked“Yeah, she refused to tell me anything I wanted to know.”“But asides that, there was nothing else that seemed like a hindrance, right?”“Yeah, everything seemed nice and going according to plan.” Grace said, trying to remember everything that happened.“So then it's progress, don't worry much about Helen. She's not a threat at all.”“He invited me for lunch tomorrow. He moves pretty fast.” Grace said, smiling to herself.“Wow, he's really a fast guy. This might be easier than what I expected.”“You were right, he doesn't really have a lot to do with women. Just his secretary and that's all.”“And because he's starved of a woman's love, he's very susceptible and that's where you strike.” The voice giggled in satisfaction.“I want her position already, am I too greedy?” Grace said thoughtfully.“No, it
She had just rolled sweet dough between two floured linen clothes. She was making night dessert for her cravings. She wasn't sure what she would love to eat in the night when she woke up so she had to do it personally. The kitchen staff had retired for the night, it was past nine pm.“Madam, please there's a call for you on the telephone.”“Okay,” She said and jumped out odd the kitchen. She met the telephone ringing in time and answered it. “Hello, who's on the line?”“Actually this number called my line a few hours ago but I wasn't available. I need to know who's speaking?”“Davin? She said smiling between her teeth.Davin was reluctant but he answered after all, “yes?” He stressed the question and waited for the next reply.“Davin you don't know your mother's voice. Should I be ashamed or worried that you've gone too far?”“Mom? Ahh, mom? I'm sorry mother. I've been so busy and there are so many voices in my
Before she opened the door like a soldier she squared her shoulders, took a deep breath and prepared herself to meet the enemy. She opened the door.He was nearly hidden by stacks of clothes, bags and few other items she couldn't recognize at that time. He didn't even look at her, he kept doing what he was doing.“What are you doing in.my room at this time of the night?”“I'm looking for something.”A long silence followed. She realized she was still with the artwork so she dropped it. His audacity was so much, he kept turning the room into a more disheveled state than before and his insolence was getting out of hand. Up till this moment, he hadn't looked at her, like she meant nothing although it was obvious he knew she'd do nothing.“Michael, I'm talking bto you, this is so much mess. What are you looking for?”“I told you already, something.” He answered again without raising his face.“Is that why you messed up the place? Besides this something, doesn't it have a name?” Rose asked
“Your mom is really a good cook, I must confess.” James said smiling.“I didn't cook it, it was the kitchen staff.” She said, smiling.“I'm glad you're enjoying the food. I thought you'll complain of the spice.” Davin said.“You think it's too hot?” James asked“Yeah, I thought so.” Davin said.“Is this a full house?” James asked, after drinking some water.“Actually yeah, I haven't seen Michael. Where is he?” Davin asked, referring to his mother.“Cherry, get me more ice.” Rose said, ignoring the question.Davin kept looking at her expecting an answer but it seemed like she wasn't ready to do so.“Mom, are you gonna be silent?” Davin asked, still maintaining eye contact with her.“My boy, I'm tired. Wherever he is, let him stay there. I'm tired of him already.” Rose said, drinking the juice after adding some ice to it.“You sound pissed off, what did he do this time?” Davin asked.“He invaded my privacy, got into my wardrobe and took my diamond necklace, gave it to some girl he said
She smiled mildly at her, force wasn't gonna take her anywhere. “Okay, so what do we do now?”“What do we? I think it's more of what do you.” Leah said, stepping up to her.In a twinkle of an eye, the prey had become the predator. Where did she get such boldness from? She was about to find out.“Excuse you, remember who you're talking to. An investor of your boss, I help with my connection and money, perhaps that's where you get paid from. So I won't sit around and let you insult me.”Leah got scared again, remembering who she was. She refused to show it but thought of another way to make profit from this sophisticated investor.“I'll take you there ma'am.” Leah said, with her hands in her skirt pocket. She swayed from left to right impatiently while Grace smiled sheepishly.“I knew it was going to work “ she muttered. “Now you're talking. Let's go.”“But on three conditions!” Leah said, stamping her feet on the ground,
The room fell into deep silence while Louis refused to relent. He came closer this time and touched rubbed the back of her palm. “Don't worry, it'll be fine.” Her face was on the desk. She rose her head, looked at him and said, “You're never this candid with me and I know all you're saying is true but I can't help it.”“That's when you know you're in love and that you can do anything for the person because you love him.”“Is it so bad that I'm in love with him?” Helen asked, acting like a baby.“It's not so bad but it's not right. He's your boss and you work for him. It doesn't create a healthy work environment as you may get so distracted and lose focus.”“You're saying the truth so easily today. I hate it so much.”“I love you too.”Please get away. Leave my office, now you're distracting me.” She said, moving away from his chest.“The first order from the acting chairman, beta group and company.”
