‘Breaking news reporting… the Kingston family… a forgotten family said to be involved in the embezzlement scandal of Senator Ethan Rathburne… is now said to be existing in the city under another name as a method of escaping all charges to their original name. ‘ ‘The Kingston family is now said to go by the name of the Silversons, a family well known in the business industry.’ Asher muted the television before turning to Mandy who was seated across from him in the living room. “Is that supposed to mean something?” Mandy asked, her face etching in a serious expression. “Mandy. I have been following up with your actions recently and I have to say that most of them are smart and would actually help you against Declan King.” Asher nodded slowly. “And I am sure that you are aware that it wasn't only the Asher family that had made a move against the King's family in getting them out of this town.” “Yes I am aware. I also know that we are assisted by the Deckers family and two other fami
Zita sipped on the coffee in her hand looking around the cafe. A couple of days had passed since the release of the Kingston family dirty deeds and she had been on the fringes since then. The Kingstons had all been apprehended and taken into custody with the family head and major powerhouses of the industries receiving heavy sentences and the little one who had involvement in the family control receiving sentences that wasn't large compared to the family head but still enough to shake her; and now… all she could think about was her future in jail. “Did you hear about the story about the Silversons industries?” She turned around and noticed a couple of men sitting behind her sipping on their coffee with one of them holding a newspaper. “You mean after the exposure of everything they had done?” “Yes. It seems that the family actually had everything taken away from them. The company itself is now bankrupt with some of their subsidiaries folding up. Soon, there wouldn't be a Silverso
A white car pulled up in front of the skyscraper that belonged to Zita’s family and the men in suits standing in front of the building rushed towards the car. The door opened and Zita climbed out of the car before walking towards the door as a guard climbed into the car driving it off. Zita made her way into the company while nodding to greetings that made their way towards her ears. She got into her private elevator and exhaled. The elevator door opened and she walked out towards her office. “Miss Evans!” A call made her stop her tracks. She turned to see her secretary running up to her. “Sorry for disturbing you… but someone came to see you and is waiting in the conference room.” “Who is it?” Zita asked annoyance forming all over her face. “Your father's personal secretary. She said that she had a message from your father and some instructions meant for you and your ears alone.” The secretary replied. “Thank you very much.” Zita said with a smile before walking off towards
Declan sipped on the glass of red wine in his hand while going through a pad in his grasp while leaning back on a couch in the living room. His attention is drawn towards his vibrating phone on the table in front of him. He reached forward and grabbed it before breaking into a smile. *Beep* “Hello Serene.” “Hello boss. Good day.” A soft voice floated into his ears. “Good day to you too. I suppose you have good news for me?” “Hopefully so. I completed my infiltration into the Evans company’s secrets today and got everything I am sure you will love to hear.” Declan’s smile widened at the voice that was brimming with confidence. “Oh… well then, I am listening.” “I managed to find out the various names of the senators that were supposedly put into positions of power with the Evans family influence. They total up to six in really high positions and towards nine in positions that can be overlooked.” “Also, the Evans family happened to have a project that they had launched under a fa
Timothy turned to his ringing phone, grumbling incoherent words as he reached for it. He looked at the phone and broke into a warm smile before answering the call. “Hello Z, are you coming over tonight?” He asked, his face beaming. “I could really do with you over here right now.” “Tim, I am at the station.” Timothy's expression froze when he heard Zendaya's panicking voice over the phone. “The station?! What happened?” He asked, rising from the couch. “I was leaving the company this evening when I was approached by two FBI agents. They took me in for ‘questioning’.” Zita’s voice was quivering in fright. “I think they went to get the rest of my family.” “Okay, just wait for me… I am on my way and don't tell them anything.” Timothy said running out of the house. At the station, Zita raised her head at the call of her name to see Timothy running towards her with a worried expression on his face. She stood up and envelopes him in a hug before breaking into sobs. “Hey, hey, it's
‘Morning news reporting the Evans industries are being sued by the government for several allegations against them. The company is accused of several cases of embezzlement done with the aid of several senators who had been helped into positions of power by the Evans family.’ ‘The Evans are also accused of a construction fraud that had ruined the business of over a thousand entrepreneurs while making tens of thousands homeless. Investigation are being conducted against six senators in collaboration with the Evans family… with Senators Mark Ritchie and Vadim Glade already behind bars and awaiting trial alongside the members of the the Evans family and the higher ups of the Evans industries.’ “A nice way to start the morning… don't you think mother?” Declan asked as he muted the television. Elizabeth and he were seated in the living room each with a glass of wine in their hand. “I couldn't agree more.” Elizabeth said with a small smile on her face. “Let's have a toast…” She added
“I am truly sorry Timo. I am sure that you are hurting because of what Declan must have done but my answer is no.” Mandy said with a stern look. Timothy looked at her while fisting his hands in anger. “You don't mean—” “But I do. May Williams may be a pawn but she remains a leverage for my family. You were the person that gave her up to my family for protection and that is the best that I will be giving you but I won't offer you May Williams for you to use in a game that will endanger her.” Mandy said with firm resolve. “You have a couple of days before Declan would be able to produce whatever information about your family that he can and in whatever method he would be able to use. The only thing you can do is protect your family secrets closely and increase your guard.” “You don't understand… Perhaps you never will. But the man that you know as Declan King is the calm man that is now showing a side that we haven't seen before.” Timothy said, shaking his head. “You would be surpris
Declan walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe while drying his hair with a towel. He walked up to his bedside table and grabbed a remote which he used to switch on the television in the room. ‘News of the Asher family and the Williams-Asher collaboration re-sueing Miss May Williams to court with allegations against her accusing her of wanting to monopolize the one going by the cooperation.’ ‘Evidence has been brought forth including a voice record of her statement and video footage. There are also multiple witness who are testifying against May Williams while claiming that she had tried to pull them away from the Asher industries and into the Williams industries.’ ‘Investigation is ongoing and…’ Declan dropped the remote and reached for his phone on the bed dialing May’s number. “Hello Declan.” “What the hell happened?! Have you seen the news?” He asked a tinge of anger laced in his voice. “Apparently my role has changed from a pawn to that of a rook.” May’s sarcastic voice
