Karina paced around the room, calling Lara over and over and over but no one was answering. Karina was beginning to get scared.Michael stood by her side all night, watching her pace around restlessly while calling Lara.“She is not taking my calls, Michael, she is not answering.. What should I do?” she whimpered, stomping her feet on the ground.Michael got closer to her, he placed his hands on her shoulder “She might be asleep, you know her line of work, they are always busy, too busy that they don't have time for their personal life, Lara might also be very busy or probably asleep, let's wait until morning if she doesn't answer her calls, we will go to her house, or your friends and see what is going on.. But for now, please relax okay, take a deep breath and relax, please” he muffled, stroking her shoulders gently.Karina took a deep breath, placed her head on his chest, and tried to put her mind at rest. After the long day, Karina and Michael took a shower and lay next to each ot
Michael and Karina were both stunned to see his mother dressed well. She wore a black luxurious Chanel dress, a Prada bag, and shoes, her hair done nicely, and her makeup up perfectly like the mother of a conglomerate.Karina, although stunned by Michael’s mum's sudden change in attire, rushed over to hug her “We miss you, it's been so long” she cheered.“I know, I missed you too,” Michael’s mother muffled, touching Karina’s cheek dotingly.“How have you been, Michael said you were on a mountain of something, with your health, you know you shouldn't be staying out and straining yourself” Karina muttered, worried while holding Michael’s mother.She taps Karina “Do not worry about me, I am doing anytime soon… By the way, I heard you and Michael finally came together, does that mean I will be expecting my grandchildren soon?” she teased.Karina burst into laughter “I miss you so much, you know how to crack me up” Karina muffled, wiping the tears that came with her laughter while holding
“Karina, please I do not want to argue about this, it's between my mother and I” he muttered.“Excuse me? Michael, you chased her out of our house! She is your mother! Do you not understand what you just did?” Karina blurted, still not able to make sense of the situation.“I know she is my mother, all the more why I am pissed... She just frustrated the shit out of me!” he yelled.“And you felt like the best thing to do was kick her out of the house, knowing her condition? Michael, your mother is sick! She is the reason behind your experiment, she is the reason you have devoted your life to finding the cure for her illness, whatever it was, you could have talked things out of excuse yourself till you got sober but you didn't do that because it's not what you do” She sneered, with her hands wrapped around her chest and she looked away.“What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked, gazing at her, figuring out there was more to her anger than chasing his mum out.“What do you think?” she snar
“Karina!”“Karina!!” Michael called out, cheerfully, rushing to the living room from his office.Karina heard him call, she got up from her chair, rushing over to meet him halfway.“Michael?”“Michael?” she called, rushing over to him, she met him halfway, meeting a bright smile on his face. She smiled back “What is the matter? Why are you so happy? What are you excited about?” she asked.“Your father” he repliedHer brows furrowed and she chuckled “What do you mean, my father?” she paused and gasped, with her eyes squinted “Do you have a crush on my father?” she teased.He laughed “I think I might” He joked.She hits him softly “Hey, I am the one you like not him… what are you, Gay?” she joked and they laughed again.“So tell me, what about my father?” she asked.“Remember when we went to your father’s place and he said something about investing in the cure I am working on?” he muttered and Karina nodded “Yea, yea, of course.. I am still surprised though but what about it?” She asked
Lucy stepped out of her room, her heart pounding, she took a deep breath before descending the stairs. It’s been months since her wedding with Rasheel and months since Rasheel took her phone and deprived her of stepping out of the house except they were going together.Months ago on the night of her wedding, Rasheel caught her trying to get in touch with Michael.“It’s not what you think.. I can explain” Lucy muffled, trying to hide her phone from him. He stepped towards her, reaching for the phone “Hand it over!” He sneered“What?” She gasped“I said hand over the fucking phone you whore!” He thundered.Lucy screamed, still holding on to the phone, she dared not hand the phone to him, not while she was trying to reach Michael just minutes after her wedding.Out of spite, he grabbed her by her hand while using his other hand to yank the phone from her.“Rasheel! Rachel, you’re hurting me” she cried out but he turned a deaf ear. As soon as he got the phone he tossed her to the ground.
Kenny Rodriques, stepped into his office, on a Monday morning, looking sharp as ever.His assistant walked behind him, and as he took his seat, she walked behind him with a glass cup of coffee.“Here you go sir” he placed the office on his desk respectfully.“Thank you” He muttered, taking off his jacket before taking his seat. “So what is this proposal you're talking about over the phone this morning?” he asked, taking his seat while he sipped out of the coffee.She handed him a brown file “Here it is sir.. This proposal has one of the best benefits for both us and the company in charge, but since we are the ones in charge, I bet we could make more” She said excitedly but professionally to him.He exhaled “How much?” Kenny askedThe assistant took a deep breath, she looked around carefully, Kenny found it weird, his brows furrowed as he watched her look carefully “Spill it already, how much are we looking at?” He asked, slightly losing his patience.“Over a billion per annum” she fin
Michael needed to prove that there was something wrong with the file that was sent to Kenny Rodrigues.Karinna muttered “Are you sure you can handle it?” she asked.Michael, who had many experiences with his father, smiled at her “I just need a day.. I will be done in 24 hours “ he said to herKarina does not know what Michael found but she was sure that he wouldn't make a fuss out of it if it was something simple.She was going to trust him to handle the matter himself.Michael took them to his office, we went through all the context, and just as Kenny said to him, it was perfect.. Too perfect.Now people who make things look perfect always make mistakes without realizing it and that is what Michael is searching for. He was going to spend the next 24 hours trying to prove that the files that were sent were not what it was.Michael picked up his phone and called Charles “Hey man, I need your help” he muffled“Anytime, what can I help with?” Charles responded, ready to help Michael.“I
Karina and Michael went for dinner after the building was presented to Michael.“I can't believe my father planned a building and gave it to you, that man is unbelievable” Karina muffled.Michael laughed “I know, your father is full of surprises” Michael admitted.“Yeah, he cares a lot and you are a very likable person, it's hard not to like you,” Karina said to him.He blushed “Well that might be true but not for everyone, the people who have suffered in my hands will say otherwise” He added.“Oh please, of course, they will, those scumbags… they deserve every punishment they get from you” Karina blurted.Michael laughed “You are one hell of a fan girl” he muffled and she blushed.“I know I said I was going to wait till you are ready to confide in me but I am just worried though” Karina mutteredMichael arched his brows, wanting to pay full attention “What is the matter?” he asked“So your mum called me a few days ago” She started.“She did? How is she? Did she say anything to you? I
