Next Day,Pacific Estate."Find out what shady deals the Marshalls do behind. Those they owe and have stepped on, they should come knocking at their door now. I want the Marshall family destroyed for what they have done to my family.""Consider it done."…A soft knock came on Leonard's door. Leonard dropped his phone on the bed, his father was looking at him with a devastated look on."Dad," Leonard said with concern as he walked him in.Shadrach sighed as he spoke softly, "I'm really sorry Leo."Leonard raised a brow in confusion. "What are you sorry for?""For not believing you at first. I was blinded with everything and I must have hurt you with my words, I wasn't being careful enough.""No, dad," Leonard said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to apologise or blame yourself at all. I understand your plight but right now it's not the time to be sorry but to pick yourself up and become stronger than ever. Mom needs you now and so do I."Shadrach nodded to Leonard's wo
Aquafina raised a brow inquisitively. "What do you mean by the truth?"Max took a chair and sat down, facing her while playing with a pocket knife. "I wanted to find out what happened, alone.""Tsk, nonsense," Aquafina voiced out. "You're clearly lying. We all know the truth now, you leaked everything out and you guys got attacked and suddenly you ran away, leaving David to die.""Don't say that!!!" Max yelled, standing up and kicking the chair off her butt making Aquafina jump up in fright."You and Diana knew how much I doted on David. I loved him with all my heart, do you know how I felt when he died in my arms? When he breathed his last?""Do you know how helpless I felt that night because I couldn't stop the blood from flowing out before I was shot?""Do you have any clue about the trauma I passed through trying to accept the fact that he was dead and would never come back to me?"Tears flowed out of her eyes as she spoke with so much pain in her voice. Aquafina could only stare
“You care about her don’t you?” Diana asked with a raised brow and a mischievous glint in her eyes.Leonard furrowed his brows and shook his head. “Don’t get me wrong here, I’m only going to be available for a few days and within those few days, I will help you in getting leads and then help my father get over his predicament. Aquafina is a friend so it’s only right I do this for us because she helped me as well.”Diana coughed and shrugged her shoulders, “Yeah. Well, I guess you’re right actually.”“So now, if I’m correct someone leaked the information and if it was Max, she would definitely have a backer and there’s no way all trails would be cleaned if we look deeper.”Diana stared at him, finding meaning in his words. “You’re right actually. Let’s go check the communication channels, maybe there might be something there.”… “Leonard, I think I’ve found something,” Diana said, her eyes glued to the computer screen.“What is it?” Leonard asked, moving closer and leaning in.They ha
Hello everyone, it's been two months right? And I haven't posted a chapter, I had a mental breakdown which I'm still battling with and I know my actions aren't still justified but I hope you all can forgive me because I'm back this month hopefully to give y'all steady updates. Please bear with me!
All the while, Marilyn was outside causing a commotion, Keith was in the conference room, unaware of the fact that his ex wife was rushing upstairs.“Mr. Keith, the value of the stocks for the company have grown really high and we are currently favored above our competitors although there is a problem we need to tackle,” Anderson said.Keith listened attentively and nodded for him to continue.“Since we have decided to explore other areas of business, including opening a shopping mall. A lot of people are against our impending success.”“Mr. Anderson, I suggest you go straight to the point,” Keith said with a tired sigh.“Yes, yes,” Anderson nodded, adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose. “Close to our construction area, the Maldivians are also building a mall and have gotten the endorsements of many in the entertainment industry. This will definitely slow us down commercially when we decide to open in three months time.”Keith raised a brow. Although, he had that the Maldivi
CHAPTER 135:ld “You!” Vincent was infuriated to the point that he almost spat out blood but he composed himself seeing Keith as an already dead man who just wants to make a show out of himself.“You don’t expect the connections to fall from the skies and besides we all know that the chairman picked you up from the streets and decided to give you this position not like you merited it in anyway.”“I will like to say something to every one of you here,” Keith said, ignoring Vincent’s statement. “Give me a month to bring all your expectations to reality.” He stared at everyone in the conference room, allowing his words to sink in before continuing.“A month is too long. The Maldivians are already one step ahead of us. We can’t wait that long,” One said.Keith found his statement to be reasonable. He had requested for a month to get things in order, getting the endorsement of the most rated model in the world was quite a big feat.“”We are giving
Marilyn’s lips curled up into a sinister smile knowing that she had somehow gotten the sympathy of those inside the room. The employees did look at Keith in a new light.Everyone knew about his son, but no one knew about his wife. Some had assumed that he was divorced and others had thought maybe she was dead but it seems the truth was finally out today. Keith had chased his wife away!Vincent chuckled darkly. He wasn’t going to let an opportunity of defaming Keith slip from his hands at all. “Hmm, it seems our chairman isn’t as simple as we all had thought. Your wife clearly had good intentions and just wanted to make a name for herself before returning
CHAPTER 137:Keith walked out of the conference room, his body shaking terribly with anger. He walked out of the building with Marilyn following closely behind. He turned to look at her not concealing the hatred in his eyes.“What else do you want from me? Haven’t you done enough already?”Marilyn pouted like kid. “What do you mean, Keith? I just want to see my son, nothing more.” She replied with the same pitiful face he detested.Keith stared at her scornfully. “You can stop the act now! Tell me what exactly you want. You and I know that you are not here to see Seth but for your own selfish reasons,” He spat. “Your lover has gone bankrupt isn’t it?”“Keith, you don’t have to be so cold to me. I didn’t come here with ill intentions at all. I still love you and our son and I want us to a happy family.”“Happy family? You still haven’t answered my question. If you think your tricks can work on me then advise you to rethink again. And stay away from me and
