"That's enough, at least leave a face for them to identify him." Michael smirked at him, noticing how much hatred Darren had harbored for him to react that way."He deserves to die the worst way possible." Darren clenched his fists together, Michael was intrigued and wanted to know why Darren harbored such resentment to the old man. "Je raped my sister and when she tried to take up the case he murdered her…. She was my only family."Michael nodded his head silently. "You do know that this path you've taken cannot be reversed." Michael informed him."I know and I'm going to make the most of it." Darren said with confidence with tears in his eyes as he dropped to his knees in front of Michael. "I swear to be loyal to you and give my life to you.""It's all up to you from here." Michael told him."I would take care of it sir." Darren assured, just then his phone rang disrupting them, he immediately took it from his pocket and frowned when he saw the caller ID. He paused gazing at Michael
"Aren't you getting in?" She wriggled her brows gazing at him, Michael didn't want to but since it was Karina he didn't have any other choice than to follow. He opened the door and got in."Thought you were going to stand there all day." Ayra rolled her eyes as the driver sped off, there was nothing but silence in the car until they were in front of Karina's mansion."Follow me." Ayra gestured as she walked into the mansion, shaking her hips with every step she took."May I ask what the issue is with her?" Michael asked."You will find out when we get there," Ayra replied as they took another corner and stopped in front of a door, she knocked lightly on the door. "Miss I'm back." She hollered before peeking her head into the room, she pulled back and gazed at Michael. "Do hold on, I'll go check on her," Ayra told him before walking into the room and coming out a few minutes later beckoning him inside.Michael made his way inside letting his eyes dance around the room before turning hi
"I had gone to meet up with my aunt at a restaurant and she had introduced me to a young man to get married to whom I deemed unworthy of me." She shrugged, Karina knew how cunny her aunt was and how she was so money and power-obsessive. She would do anything she could to take away the company from her."That's a start.* Michael nodded his head, there could be so many clues as to who the person was but at the same time they needed to be smart or they could miss it."How then can we get who the person is?" Ayra asked feeling like the only slow person amongst them."Well, it's between the bartender or her aunt and the young man who came with her, all of them play a role in this," Michael explained."How then?" Karina was confused. "I made sure to watch them out my drink, how would I have missed them pouring it in my drink?" She furrowed her brows."I did find remnants of the ginseng I'm your mouth." He shrugged his shoulders gazing at her. "They must have slipped it when you weren't loo
Michael got out of the car and noticed Lucy standing outside waiting for him. "Let's go in." Her voice was cold but he didn't mind, she stopped and turned to look at him. "Didn't tell Uncle Dylan about our divorce… I will tell him when the time is right." "Time is right?" Michael arched his brows. "And when is that?""Very… soon." She nodded her head and turned back to the mansion opening the door and walking in with him by her side. "Do make it as natural as possible." She added as they made their way to the dining room. The whole room went silent in their presence and heads turned to their direction."Oh my dear boy, welcome!" Dylan rose from his chair and wrapped Michael into a hug. "Come have a seat with me." Dylan gestured to the empty seats beside him. Michael followed and sat beside him with a warm smile."Didn't know you would be able to come here," Alec smirked gazing at Michael who didn't give him any acknowledgment."Well now that we're all settled down, I would like to pr
"Are you sure of what you're saying?" Alice questioned Blake."Definitely, it's quite rare and in most cases you need to be close to the manufacturer to get this." He explained. "So who here do I owe the honor of tasting this?" Blake looked around and all eyes pointed to Michael."There's no way his forent is the manufacturer is it?" They asked one another."I still stand my belief that he's a thief.""There's no way someone would give away something so rare to someone like him." Alice spat."You all should stop making up nonsense scenarios in your head and just enjoy the moment, opportunities like this doesn't come twice you know." Blake told them yet they were still skeptical yet they wanted to have a taste of it, they also felt the need to criticize him even more."We know the typed of person he his so don't take his word for it." Emily told Blake."Someone who truly knows the worth has spoken, feel free to decline having it if you wosje to, I won't force anyone to have a drink fro
"Thank you so much for telling us about this," Alice said raising a toast to him."You guys are family so I think it's best if I told you first." He shrugged his shoulders smiling even more. The thought of their faces, when they realized they'd been dipped, stayed in his head as a smile curved his lips."The profits are going to be insane knowing how successful the company is," Blake added enthusiastically."Of course, now that we're planning to open another branch as soon as possible, preparations have been made."Awesome." Emily cheered."What about you Lucy?" Alec curved his brows gazing at her."What?" She tilted her brows as she was lost in thoughts and barely knew what was going on at the table."Concerning investing in Daigon?." He told her."Oh, I'm not interested in that." She replied simply."And what is that?" Herother thundered. "Do you have any idea how much you're going to make?""I do have things that need to be put in order and I've set my money towards that, I can't g
The air in the dining room was still a bit tense as Alec tried to draw the conversation away from Daigon. Every now and then, he would throw Micheal an angry stare, but Micheal pretended not to notice him and just continued munching on his dinner. "So how long do we have to wait until this investment starts bringing returns? Alice spoke again, bringing the conversation back to Daigon. The scales in her head had been going back and forth, counting how much money she that would be added to her bank account by the end of it all."It depends on how soon we launch it, so I can't give any time estimate." Alec's heart pumped rapidly in his chest as he answered Alice's question. 'Whoever the superior being is on this planet, I beg you to let this be the last question about Daigon.' He said a short prayer in his mind as he pulled on a tight smile, but his prayers were just blown with the wind."You're just making up lame excuses for the failure it will all turn out to be. It's as clear as da
"I can't help but think about the whole situation." Zain's voice came out low and cbkand as he swung in his chair. The air in his office was relatively cold, due to the degree the AC was set to. His tie hung loosely around his neck, the jacket of the suit hanging loosely on the head of the chair he sat in. His assistant sat on one of the couches in the office, discussing with him."She was lucky to have escaped. I made sure I added enough pills in her drink, I keep wondering how she was still in her senses before she left." His assistant said, shaking his head lightly at the end of his statement."Karina…." Zain muttered her name quietly to himself, as his mind wandered in thoughts. "Do you think she'll be able to fall prey next time? I still have my eyes on her." Zain's voice redounded in the office, after he had gone silent for a few minutes. "As long as she doesn't remember anything after the drug has finished taking effect, then I can guarantee that getting her into the trap wou
