"What?! Dad, what do you mean by that?!" Victor yelled, shaking his father and attracting the attention of the patrons. "What do you want us to tell grandpa?""Didn't you assure us that Mr. Reigns will help us? Then what happened?"Melvin looked up at his father with reddened eyes and shook his hand off him. "No matter how drunk I am, you should never dare to shout at me. Mr Reigns ditched me! We're done for! I can't go home now, what would I say to my father?!"…Shadrach's Home."Darling, I think you should go over to the villa. Melvin lost the contract, why don't you try getting the contract back?" Catherine said, staring at Shadrach over the dinner table."What are you saying, Cath? Melvin lost the contract, how do you expect me to get it for the family? Will father even trust me enough to give me the proposal to handle? Don't forget, he hates me now.""Don't say that. You don't know for certain, a father won't hate his son no matter what. You work there, don't you?" Catherine ask
Soon, all the guests left.Chandler turned to the old man to thank him. "Thank you so much Richard. Without your help, I don't think I would have handled this myself.""Don't thank me yet Chandler. Do the needful," Richard replied and walked away with the young man with a briefcase.Chandler couldn't help but want to cough out blood when he remembered the embarrassment he had suffered."Find Melvin and his useless son and bring them to me!"…5am.At the bar."Dad, let's go home. You have drank enough," Victor said, covering his nose at the unbearable smell coming out from his father."No, leave… me. I… want… to drink some… more!" Melvin yelled drunkily, pushing Victor's hands away."No father, you have drank enough already. Grandpa is already mad at us, let's not make it worse by sitting here," Victor said in a persuasive tone.Melvin looked at him. His eyes were giving him a woobly vision, he was seeing Victor in two's. "Who… who are you to… to tell… tell me what… what… to… do?! I'm
Shadrach looked towards Leonard and nodded, sniffing back his tears that were about to fall off his eyes."Dad, I came here to help."Chandler raised a brow. "What do you mean by help?""We heard that Melvin wasn't able to get the contract for the family so we decided to come here to see if we can help," Leonard replied."Grandpa wasn't talking to you and since my dad failed in getting the contract how do you think you can get the contract? Are you trying to say you are better than us?" Victor asked angrily."Grandpa, pay no heed to their words. Infact, chase them out! They don't have to be here poking their noses into what's not their business."Chandler glared at Victor. "Are you trying to tell me what to do?""Grandpa, I was only…""Silence!" Chandler yelled, shutting him up. "You don't get to speak at all.""Shadrach, Melvin has failed. What assurance do you give to me that you can get the contract?" Chandler asked with a raised brow.Sensing that Chandler was considering his opti
Shadrach couldn't help but tremble as he walked towards the Don's office. Luckily, today there was no surprisingly no queue available. With a knock at the door, he heard a faint 'come in'. Taking in a deep breath, he opened the door and there sat Don occupying himself with tons and tons of paperwork. "Good day Mr Don," Shadrach greeted respectfully. The Don barely looked his way and pointed to chair in front of him, gesturing for him to sit. Shadrach pulled the chair out with shaking hands and sat down. "Mr Marshall, what can I do for you?" Don asked, punching in the keys on his laptop. "Well, Mr Don, I know my family has wronged you in a way but I was hoping you could give us another chance and look at the proposal I have brought," Shadrach replied. Don stopped typing and looked straight at him, making Shadrach nervous. "Let me see." Shadrach handled him the black file in his eyes and Don went through it and dropped it on the table. "Yes, truly your family has wronged me by
"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."Tears of joy fille
The Marshall's Residence.Shadrach walked into the Villa with a big smile on his face. He clutched the black file in his hands with a triumphant smile on his face. He had just bagged a contract with Mega Conglomerate and he just signed the contract with them. He was sure that Chandler would finally hold him up with high regard. "Father, I'm here with the signed documents," Shadrach announced, entering into the living room. He was met by Melvin who was sitting close to his father and stared at him with a smirk on his face as he walked towards them. Shadrach didn't understand the reason for that type of smile and only smiled at him. "Give them to Melvin," Chandler replied without looking at him. Shadrach raised a brow of confusion. "Why should I give them to Melvin?" "I said give them to Melvin. You're in no position to ask me questions!" Shadrach swallowed and looked towards Melvin, stretching out the file in his hands towards him. Melvin gave out a smile and grabbed it from
Leonard stepped into the hotel with his hands within his pockets. Immediately James sighted him, he ran towards him holding his arm. "Who invited you here?" James asked angrily. "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. Rosalie walked towards James and held his hand. "Honey, let's not create a scene here. The guests are watching." Collins who was exchanging pleasantries with the guests, looked around and his eyes met with Leonard's who was staring at him with an expressionless face. He let out a smirk and walked towards him. "Hey uncle, don't kick him out. Let him have the luxury of what it's means to attend a luxurious engagement ceremony like this," Collins said wi
"Destroy every damn thing!"Bang! Bang! Burly men walked into the venue with clubs, scattering everywhere. Popping up the balloons and destroying the decorations. The guests began to run away while screaming. James was filled with shock as he watched them destroy the decorations in the hall. 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!" They pushed James away to the floor. "James!" "Father!" Rosalie and Emily ran towards him to help him up. Leonard crossed his arms
