"Give me the phone," Shadrach replied with a nervous voice.

Catherine followed him down the stairs towards the telephone hung on the wall.

"Hello, Shadrach Marshall on the line," Shadrach said, staring at Catherine who nudged him on.

"Hello Mr Marshall, the Don would like to speak to you. Hold on for him."

Shadrach left out a sharp breath.

"Hello, Mr Marshall. I've gone through your proposal and I have found it quite expectional from the rest. Will you be available tomorrow so we can seal the deal?" Don asked.

Shadrach felt so elated that he couldn't express the joy he was feeling. "Yes sir. I will be there first thing tomorrow morning."

"Good. Looking forward to working with you."

Then, the call went dead.

Shadrach dropped the telephone and Catherine gave him an anxious look. "What did they say?"

"I have gotten the contract!" Shadrach announced with a big smile on his face.

"Oh my God!" Catherine screamed, covering her mouth. "I told you, didn't I? Just have hope."

"Why should I give them to Melvin?" "I said give them to Melvin. You're in no position to ask me questions!"

"I did," A voice sounded behind him. James turned around and Amelia folded her arms behind him. "You did? Why? Don't you know that he's not wanted anywhere around us? What's wrong with you Amelia?" "Nothing's wrong with me dad. Leonard is a friend of both I and Emily and since Emily's friends are around there's no harm in inviting him over," Amelia replied.

Collins exchanged worried glances with his father, who swallowed hard upon seeing some men dressed in suit walking behind the burly men. "Fidelis Parker, the nerves of you!" One said. James was utterly confused and so he walked towards them. "What are you doing? Stop this!" "Mister, we have no business with you only him," One pointed at Fidelis, who broke out in cold sweat. James turned around to look at Fidelis who was too dazzled to speak and glanced back at them. "What do you mean by that? You're distorting an engagement ceremony!" "Get out of the way!"

He heard some whispers and sighs of someone crying and decided to walk slowly and quietly so as not to be heard."So father actually gave the position up to Melvin after all you have done? After all the stress you went through" Catherine said with a sniff."Yes darling, but I'm not worried after all we are all Marshalls and it doesn't really matter who handles the contract all that matters is that we won the contract," Shadrach replied with a sad smile."But you got no credit for what you did. It's not fair, father's being unfair to us. I will go now and speak to him," Catherine said, wiping her tears and standing up.Shadrach held her hand, stopping her. "No, don't. The decision was actually for the best because if I had been given that position, I would not be able to spend time with you like I do.""Besides, if you go there now, you'll only get bullied and I wouldn't like that."Catherine sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes.

Victor and guards ran after him. The guards caught up with him and held him down. "What's going on here?!" A voice sounded in front of them. The guards suddenly stood at ease with utmost respect etched on their faces while still holding Melvin down. Victor stared at the man before him, finding his aura peculiar and very intimidating. This man's features were very daunting and also domineering. He was the famous Don Bosco! He finally had the chance to see him face to face. "Uhm, sir." Don turned to look at Victor who was visibly shaking. "Yes? Speak up!" Victor flinched under the authoritative sound of his voice. "Well, I…I and my father came to see you concerning the contract that your signed with our family but we were stopped by the guards seeing that you never requested to see us."

"I still don't understand father. Did something happen at the company?"Leonard folded his arms behind his back and stared at Chandler. He had a knowing gaze in his eyes.

It just seems so unreal," Shadrach said a wide smile.Leonard glanced at him from the steering wheel and sighed heavily.Shadrach noticed and asked, "Leonard, what's wrong? You have not spoken a word since we left the villa. Is anything the matter?""Dad, don't you think that apology seems fake?" Leonard asked.Shadrach raised a brow. "What do you mean by that?""Just like you've said, it's seems so unreal. I haven't proven my innocence yet, no evidences to show that I wasn't involved in the scandal. Grandpa can't just suddenly decide to apologize to you over his past behaviour towards you, it just doesn't seem right to me."Shadrach chuckled slightly. "You're just been paranoid. I'm sure your grandpa has forgotten all that now, all that matters is that he has finally recognised us as family once again.""You sound so certain," Leonard said, looking at him."I am.

    Everyone gasped in shock.Leonard actually rejected Agnes. Agnes was really pretty and had right proportions in the right places; her skin was as white as snow and also flawless. She had the height and looks to pose for a model but she opted to working for her father in the company. Many men will die to have her but Leonard had rejected her instantly. Roman also thought Leonard to be stupid for rejecting the young miss in that manner, but he couldn’t swallow the fact that his woman had taken the initiative to ask him out. Once again, Leonard had the attention of the woman he wanted.Agnes stared at Leonard’s disappearing figure and felt humiliated.

Do you want another dose of that?” Leonard said with a sinister smile.“You…” Roman was furious. He didn’t expect Leonard to bring that up in front of Agnes. “If anyone is meant to be thrown out, then it will be you! Agnes, don’t even bother letting him in. Order your guards to throw him out and break a few bones as well for insulting your family.”“Gladly,” Agnes sneered, motioning at her bodyguards to throw him out.Roman searched Leonard’s face to see any trace of fear but he saw none. He couldn’t help but sneer.Still trying to act tough!Agnes’ bodyguards were heavily bodied compared to the slim-looking Leonard. They were so trained from renowned boxing rings in the world and were professionals in martial arts.Leonard narrowed his eyes as they approached him.

Back then, he had known Leonard wasn’t an ordinary person but that was in New York, he wouldn’t have that power in Oklahoma after all Amanda and Mary were not here to save him.The lady looked up at Roman, “You know him?” “Yes. Back in New York, he had caused a lot of trouble for me. But that doesn’t matter; he must apologize for almost running your dress. I promise you that Agnes.”Agnes glanced at Leonard. Her eyes were clearly filled with scorn as she stared at Leonard’s wears. He was dressed rather shabby, dressed in a brown leather jacket and a dark wash jean trouser.What can of man would dress so shabby to a party filled with distinguished guests? He looks so ordinary. I won’t wear this dress anymore. It has been stained!Leonard sighed and said, “If you look at me, you bumped into me and I have no reason to apologize to you because your dress isn’t ruined in any way.”“How

Mr. Justin had thrown the party to celebrate his granddaughter’s graduation from college.”“So we are going for prom?” Leonard asked.Gabriel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Not really. Justin’s family is one of the four great families of the city; the party is trying to bring the families under one room to discuss the impending danger and also to introduce his daughter to the business circle.”Leonard nodded at Gabriel’s explanation.

I understand that you will be quite busy there,” Keith said with a smile.“I saw the news.” Keith went silent. In fact, it was everywhere. He had already contacted some media houses to pull it down or he would sue them. Not hearing a word from him, Leonard said, “You are a brave man, Keith. For coming out to face the public and protecting your son. My company is in good hands.”Keith went cold at the mention of the company. If all things don’t go as planned, e would lose his seat and who knows what action the board will take. If he loses the seat, Leonard would be removed as the chairman. No, he won’t let that happen.“Keith, is there anything wrong happening in the company? If you need my help do not hesitate to ask for it.”“Don’t worry Leonard.

You are embarrassing his father publicly!” Keith fumed. “But I’m also his mother!”Keith ignored her words and stared at Seth on the phone. “Are you ready now, son?”Seth nodded. “I will do anything to kick that woman out of our lives.”Keith turned his phone screen in such a way that it would face the ground.“My name is Seth Donald and I am Keith’s son.
