"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
As Lucy pondered in her office about who the person was, a thought flashed through her head, instilling instant fear into her mind. 'What if Zain Claw thinks I have a hand in Kelvin Hayes' death? I was the last person he had an issue with, it's only reasonable they suspect I had something to do with his death.' She thought to herself, as she closed her eyes for a brief second, letting the thoughts sink in. The thoughts propelled her out of her seat, making her pace back and forth in panic. 'What do I do? If he thinks I'm involved in Kelvin's death, not only would whatever he does affect me, but my family. No, I cannot let that happen.' She paced back and forth in her office, trying to come up with a solution for the impending danger. After thinking long and hard, she came up with an idea that would surely keep her and her family safe from the fire, should it start. 'The Rodriguez! Yes, I have to speed up signing the business deal with that family, so I can have a stronger backing
Karina's face held a look of surprise and partial disbelief as she stared at her phone. The light on the screen of her phone danced in her face, staring hauntingly at her. She angrily scoff escaped her lips as she took the phone away from her face for a few seconds, relaxing bed back into the chair she sat in. After a few seconds of just sitting like that and reminiscing on the thing she just found out, she brought her phone back to her face wih a gingered movement. Her fingers scrolled through her contact, until she came across the one she was looking for. Tapping her finger on it, she immediately dialed the number. "Hey Karina, What's going on?" Micheal's voice came through the speakers of the phone in a calm and collected tone. "Lets meet at that coffee shop. I have a very important information to share with you." She replied him, standing up on her feet and grabbing her purse that sat beside her all along. "What kind of information? Is everything alright?" His voice has a hint
