It was already a week since the annual conference was held. The tiny feminine voice of the newscaster reading out the daily news for the day from the television filled the sitting room. The picture of Davies Williams and Matt Walker in handcuff was shown at the left side of the screen, the pictures were being placed side by side. “…the properties of Mr. Matt Walker were being taken into possession by the government yesterday after he had been found guilty of the crimes he was charged with yesterday in the court.” Robert walked into the sitting room clad in a singlet that clung onto his body to the sweat that he was covered in, the lower part of his body was covered in a pair of long jogging pants and he had a short towel hung around his neck. He took off the towel that was hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat off his face with it. He ignored what the newscaster was saying and walked towards the refrigerator in the kitchen, he pulled it open and take out a chilled bottle of w
Robert’s grip tightened on his shirt, the look he saw on Antonio’s face the last time he visited his office was the exact same look of fear he was seeing in Lucian’s face, “My l..lor…lord, please.. please have mercy on us, for we a…are no…th..ing but your lowly servant and we are putting you as our priority. If y… you do not take a rest then your b.. bod.. body will surely break down and it will have such a negative effect on you” Wayde stuttered, dropping to his knees with his palm joined together and raised above his head to bed. Robert turned to look at Wayde, his grip on his cloth not loosening at all, not even for a bit. “It’s not your body, it’s my own fucking body and you don’t know it like I do!” Lucian tried to swallow hard but he couldn’t, the saliva got stuck in his throat, he shut his eyes tight and tried to shut the look he saw in Robert’s eye off his mind but it was unwavering. “W..we are al..all work..ing t.towar…towards the sa..me… goal here, we on..ly hav..have on
Robert stood with the doctor, standing outside Hazel’s ward with his hand buried in his pocket, staring at her through the huge window. “…her heart rate and her vitals are normal” the doctor in charge of her said, pushing his glass up the bridge of his nose, he seem a bit intimidated while talking to Robert. “We will continue to keep an eye on her sir” he said with his head bent low. “Is there no chance for her to get consciousness yet?” Robert asked, his hands still staring at Hazel that was laying on the bed with her eyes closed like she was deep in sleep, clad in a hospital gown, she had something passed to her body and connected to the life support machine. “I am sorry sir but there is still no hope, the possibility remains the same. It’s still a 60-40 percent chance that she is going to come out of that state that she is, if the cure is not found. The chances might not even change at all, it’s going to remain the same as far as we continue with our treatment here” The doctor
“Just like that?” Antonio asked to be sure about what he just heard now. He was shocked to the bone that Robert seems to be unwavering in his current decision. “Who in his right sense will agree to that kind of lame deal?” Antonio asked with a frown on his face, the expression of remorse he had on his face had been cleared off totally and was replaced with a different one entirely. The aura radiating around him was overwhelming and powerful, it was like he was trying to send a message to Robert that he wasn’t far off him and should be respected.The blank expression on Robert’s face seems to still remain the same, he wasn’t pressured by Antonio’s overwhelming aura, it meant nothing to him. “You see,” Robert began with his right hand stretched like he was about to explain something. “You have a huge deal of your family’s property if not all of them if this recording gets into the hands of the law and you are tried for it, not only will the both of you spend a couple of years in th
Just agree to the deal, bastard. Lucy stared at the both of them, getting impatient already for waiting for Antonio’s reply, she gritted her teeth in anger. The anger slowly wiped off her face and was replaced by a smile as she heard him finally say the word that she had been dying to hear. “Fine, I lost. Don’t upload it, I’ll sign over seventy percent of the business over to you” Antonio said through gritted teeth, it was hard to accept but he had to anyway, it was a prize he had to pay. The better choice here is to have thirty percent of the industry than losing everything. He sighed in defeat, his lips slowly stretched to a smile, “This is the feeling right?” he asked raising his hand up to prevent the sunrays from entering his eyes, he moved it to touch Robert’s face for a bit.He dropped his hand down slowly, his smile disappearing as his hands dropped further down. “It’s a miserable feeling, this feeling of defeat, I can’t stomach it. I thought I will never lose to any human
FEW YEARS AGO Robert kade had just gotten married to Cassandra Williams, there was quite a spark on the internet that the daughter from a very rich family had gotten married to someone whose parents were unknown and had even spent most of his childhood in the orphanage home. He was clearly labelled as a nobody. There was a dinner party hosted by the Gilgamesh family and the Williams family were among those that were invited, the media was there to take pictures of Cassandra Williams and her newly wed husband. The bright flashing light of the camera filled everywhere immediately Robert Kade and Cassandra Williams had gotten off the car, Cassandra intertwined her arms with that of Robert flashing a smile to the cameras as they walked towards the Gilgamesh mansion, they showed their invite to the bodyguards and they were allowed to walk in. Cassandra yanked her arms off Robert’s with a look of disgust plastered on her face immediately they had gotten out of the view of the media. Ha
The Gilgamesh family were gathered in their usual hall for a meeting, they were wondering why they were all summoned her at the same time for this emergency meeting. The room was in a tensed mood immediately Antonio walked in to the room, he had a brooding look on his face as he walked towards his position to seat down gave off an awful vibe, no one dared to mutter a thing. The hall was so silent despite how many people occupied it, every Gilgamesh family have been called, even those who were on business trips were called back. This gave them all just one thought that something was definitely wrong but they couldn’t quite figure out what it is. They had been chattering before about what could be the issue for the meeting but seeing the look on Antonio’s face now just confirmed their fears that something was wrong. “Phew” Antonio sighed, he raised his head to look at them. They were all looking at him expectedly waiting for him to give the reason why this emergency meeting was c
The expression on their face changed immediately after Donovan had walked out of the door, what he just said had struck them at their nerve, it is a question that they have been avoiding to ask themselves. The harsh reality that they will face, if the Babylon industries is being sold, there is a high likelihood that the Gilgamesh will fall apart, most of them will all go their separate ways. The new management that will take over will likely kick most of them off their position because they got it out of favoritism, they are people who are far better than them out there, who would want a mediocre worker at an exclusive position at his company. The people who mostly have this thoughts are those who are below in the hierarchy level of the family, those who are at the top are those who have worked hard and crawled their way up there, they are mostly made up of geniuses who pump in more income and made more profits at whatever position they were being told to head. Some of the people b
