2024-10-29 19:42:56"Roseline, please get me the files on the sub-company that Don Michaelson is in charge of. Also pull out his file too, while you are at it".
Pedro said to Roseline, as they drove back home from the chambers.
"Aha! I knew it I knew it I knew it. Master, I knew you were up to something. You are going to fire that old fool, Don Michaelson".
she said to Pedro.
"Ok. Fine, you got me. It's time we let them know who is boss around here".
Pedro replied.
They arrived home, at The Del Monte estate. The limousine highlights at the front porch of the house, and Pedro almost stepping out of the limo, with one leg outside the vehicle already, had a thought.
"On second thought, Roseline, forget about sorting out of the files I told you about, as we drove back home".
Pedro said to her.
"Why, master? Why the sudden change of heart?"
she asked her master, Pedro.
"Nothing serious, Roseline. Come on, get into the limo".
he said to her.
Although, she had no idea what her master was up to, she slowly walked back to the limo, opened the door and went back in."Master, could you at least tell me where we are going and what we are going to do?"
she being inquisitive of what was going on, asked him.
"My dear Roseline, you worry too much. Don't worry you'll see."
he said to her.
"Kindly take us to the sub-company we visited on Monday. The one not far away from the house"
Pedro instructed the driver.
"Do you know, a certain Mr. Simon? Simon Torres. One of the heads of operations, for one of our sub-companies, right here in Spain".
Pedro asked Roseline.
He had taken an interest in Simon. Simon made a good impression on that fateful day, when Pedro came to The Del Monte Group of companies headquarters."Yes I do, master. Mr. Simon Torres is in fact, one of our best heads of operations for sub-companies. His turnover in revenue every end of the year, is very Impressive, and most importantly, he is very trustworthy".
she said to Pedro.
"Have you got his cell phone number?"
Pedro asked her.
"Surely, master. We even spoke this morning. He had called to ask about you. The last time you were over at the headquarters, it didn't end so well. So, he was checking in to make sure you were doing okay".
Roseline said to him.
"Call him to meet us up at the sub-company, ran by Don Michaelson. He has proven himself to be an ally, so it's best we bring people like him close".
he said to her.
Pedro had planned to fire Don Michaelson that day. But it wasn't just going to be a simple or basic dismissal, he planned humiliating Don Michaelson, so much that he would not come outside of his home for a week or more, because of the embarrassment, he had plannned to dish out to Don Michaelson. He arrived the company with Roseline, but remained inside his limousine."Master, Simon is on his way already and would be here soon. I have just gotten off the phone with him".
she said to Pedro, as she removes her phone from her ear.
"Why are we inside the limousine, master?"she asked Pedro.
"I would like us to remain inside the limo, till Simon arrives. I want him to go inside the building with us".
He said to her.
Twelve minutes later, there was a knock on the window of the limousine.
"Master, it's Simon. He is here. I think we can go in now".
She said to Pedro.
"Good afternoon sir, always a pleasure to see you".
Simon greeted Pedro, as he came out from the limousine.
"Mr. Simon Torres, just the man I want to see. How have you been?"
he asked Simon.
"Very well, sir. Thank you".
he replied Pedro.
"May I ask why you called for me, sir?"
Simon asked Pedro, with a soft voice.
"Simon, we are here to dismiss Don Michaelson, from being the head of operations for this sub-company. I think this sub-company needs a change of leadership".
Pedro said to Simon.
"Very wise decision you have taken here, today. Don Michaelson has been making things really difficult for your brother, Alexander. Except that, funds have been going missing and Don Michaelson claims not to know anything about it, but yet the sub-company accounts under his care, never ever balances".
Simon said to Pedro, with a disappointed look on his face.
He was saying the truth. Don Michaelson has been stealing money from the sub-company, which he headed, spending it on women, vacations and other expensive items. The three of them, Pedro, Simon and Roseline, went into the building at the same time. Don Michaelson has just come out from the elevator."What a wonderful coincidence. He just got out of the elevator"
Simon said to Pedro, as he pointed at Don Michaelson.
"Heading out, Don Michaelson?"
Pedro said to Michaelson as he walked towards the door, wanting to exit the building.
"What is this fool doing here again? I thought the divorce has been made official".
He said to anyone at the lobby, who cared to listen, looking around, with no one giving a care.
"Oh, I see you brought this dweeb here too".
Don Michaelson said, referring to Simon. He never liked Simon, because Simon was one of the heads of operations, who Alexander used as an example for him, Don Michaelson.
"Enough!"
Exclaimed Pedro. He already had enough of the drama"Don Michaelson, with immediate effect you are dismissed from this company, and you cease to be the head of her operations. You are to turn in, the Mercedes Benz given to you by the company, return the keys of your house, as the company is as well the owner of the property".
Pedro said to Don Michaelson, with a loud and strong voice.
"Hahahaha. Are you high on some cheap whisky this afternoon?"
Don Michaelson laughed out loudly, thinking Pedro was making a joke.Then, Simon got up and said to him,
"You have been fired by Mr. Del Monte, Pedro-Junior, President of The Del Monte Group of Companies".
The laughter came to an abrupt end. Don Michaelson has just gotten the shocker of his life. He couldn't believe it. Pedro was The 'Pedro Del Monte'. The man who he had gone over his house to sleep with his ex-wife, Lisa, while he was away. He felt so embarrassed, because there were workers in the lobby who had just witnessed his dismissal. It was indeed a very ugly situation for Michaelson. Karma had come back to bite him in the ass, and the Karma came in the form of the same man, he had paid money to get divorced from Lisa, who was now his ex-wife. Even with all these, very soon he will get to find out that, his torment has only begun.

"Why is she not picking up her phone?""Pick up the damn phone!" Michaelson was shouting frustratingly. He has been trying to reach Lisa on her cell phone, but it just kept ringing and ringing, without her picking the phone."Let me call her aunt"he said to himself. After all, she liked and adored him. "Hello? Josephine" she picked up his call.All he could say was,"Lisa's ex-husband, isn't what we all thought he was". Josephine replied,"Calm down now. What did you say again?".He had already dropped the call. She didn't understand what he had just told her. She quickly called her niece Lisa on her phone. But Lisa wasn't coming to the phone. She kept trying, until she finally answered the phone. "What happened? I have been trying to reach you. Even Don Michaelson called your cell phone but you didn't answered".Her aunt, Josephine said to her. "Sorry aunt, I was asleep" she replied."You better call Michaelson and find out what is going on.Josephine said, before she ended

"Sorry, I was in a meeting yesterday evening, that is why I refused picking up your calls".This was the SMS message Lisa woke up to, the next morning. She felt ecstatic, because it was Pedro, who had sent her that text message. To Lisa, it only meant that, there was a very high possibility that, he will take her back as his wife. "I know how hard you work, my handsome Pedro. I just want the opportunity to explain myself and why I opted for a divorce. I only beg, you give me the opportunity to explain myself, my love, and then you will see that, I truly love you and didn't mean to treat you badly".She quickly sent him in an SMS, to his phone as well. It wasn't up to a minute she sent the text message to Pedro, then her message notification sound came up. She quickly checked her phone to see if it was Pedro who had sent in a message. "1PM. Meet me at my place. Don't worry, it is very easy to locate. Just tell the cab driver, The Del Monte estate. It is quiet popula, and he will br

There was a knock at The Del Monte's door. Roseline came to see who it was. It was Sarah, Lisa's sister. "Please, do come in." Roseline said to her. She immediately came inside the house, and Roseline closed the door behind her."Where is Peddy?" She asked Roseline."Follow me, I will take you to him. He is expecting you"Roseline told her. They made their way upstairs, with Roseline guiding her to Pedro's bedroom "Peddy I'm here, as promised".She said, as she had already seen him lying down on his bed. "Leave us Roseline. Close the door behind you on your way out".He said, sending away Roseline from his room.He got up and held Sarah by her waist. Looking into each other eyes without blinking. They both looked at each other's lips, soon enough they locked lips, and started kissing each other rigorously."Wait".Sarah said to Pedro, under her breath."What? Lets just continue"Pedro said to her."We will. But first, you will have give me money after we have sex. Lots of mone

“Now they will know my pain, my despair, my shame and a whole lot of sadness. Lisa I gave you love, you threw it to the dogs, treating me worse than a dog”.Pedro said to himself, with a more sinister smile on his face, while he rubbed his index finger and his thumb on each other. “I haven’t even began the hurt. This is just the beginning of their pain. I will hit them so hard and so mercilessly. She said, I was a waste of time, a pauper and a good-for-nothing. Now, even at this time, wasting of their lives time, will be my utmost use of time”.He continued. Hell had unleashed a demon in the form of Pedro, as his heart, mind and soul, was poisoned by hatred for Lisa, her auntie, Josephine and her sister, Sarah. The bitterness in him, had grown so vile and sickening, so much that, the former Pedro was gone. The man who was once filled with love, adoration and as a matter of fact, worshiped the ground Lisa walked on, has become bewildered by his bitterness and anger towards his ex-wif

“Master, you really showed the detective, who is boss. Did you see how his face lightened up when you gave him the money? Pretty sure you made his week”Roseline said to Pedro, as they made their way out of the police station.“You mean, his month? They want me to give a statement, with all the evidences which we have provided them with, they think they can get me to come write a statement? I do not have the will or strength to banter words with anybody, rather I will let the money do the talking for me. Trust me it will be louder than a thousand voices all put together”.He said to Roseline.“Hmmmm..I wonder why this one is calling my phone”.Pedro phone was ringing and he discovered it was Lisa, calling, after he took it out of his pocket. “Who is this?”He asked her, pretending not to know who it was, that was calling, just to spite her.“I know you know it is I, but that is not important. Pedro, your problem is with me and not my sister. Whatever happened, I am sorry okay? I/am/s

While in the hospital, Lisa and Josephine were demoralized, not knowing how to tackle the situation. Pedro had become their latest nightmare, as they could not at that moment, figure out the next thing he might do, that will be detrimental to them. Her phone rings, “What is this?”Lisa said, as she did not understand the number calling her, that was displaying on her phone screen.“What is it Lisa?”Auntie Josephine asked.“It is a number, but it is strange, as it is one I have never seen before, different from regular cell phone numbers”. Lisa replied Josephine.“Well, I think you should pick it up. I do not think there is any harm to it”.Josephine said to Lisa.“Hello?”Lisa responded to the call, with a curious look on her face, as the number appeared strange and irregular to her.“Hello? Lisa, it is Don Michaelson, I have been permitted to make just one phone call. Listen to me. Do everything in your power to get Pedro to stop or else, we are all doomed”.It was Don Michaelson

Lisa returned back to the hospital, almost evening, to check on her elder sister’s condition. Her auntie Josephine was still there waiting on her.“Darling, where did you storm off to like that? You got me really worried”Josephine asked Lisa. But she said nothing, walking towards auntie Josephine, sat next to her and leaned on her shoulder, without speaking a word. For almost five minutes, Lisa kept quiet and just stayed there. Finally, she spoke.“I didn’t know what else to do auntie. I was confused and frustrated. Seeing my sister lie still, like a vegetable and the call from Don Michaelson, from the police station, I just had to do something. Anything”.She said to her auntie, Josephine.“I’m so sorry dear. This is not just your fault. We all played a part in this. Now, we have created a demon, who is now after our very lives”. Josephine said.“I headed over Pedro’s place, to see him. We spoke over the phone, and I could tell he intentionally did not want to see me or talk to m

The next morning, there was a knock at the gate. Lisa was already up, preparing food, as she was too tired from last night and couldn’t return to the hospital, that night. “I wonder who it is, this early morning at the gate”She said to herself. She peeped through the curtains of one of the parlor windows, which faced the gate. “Isn’t this that man from last night?” She asked herself. Indeed it was him, Andre Ramos, was at the gate again, that morning.“Why is he back here? Wait a second. There is another man with him? This is actually disturbing”.She said to herself. She wondered what they wanted, as Andre Ramos was not by himself this time, but came along with some other man. She didn’t want them to know she was home. She thinking she had succeeded in deceiving them, peeped through the curtain again, but something she never expected happened. “Good morning Miss Lisa”.Andre Ramos greeted her with a loud voice, waving at her. Unfortunately for her, he had seen her peeping at

Roseline later arrived home from the company, after she finished with the workers there. “Roseline, you are back”.Pedro said to Roseline, after he turned back to see who it was, that had just come into the house, hearing the door open, while he was watching television in the sitting room.“Yes, master”.She said to him. She was exhausted, due to the numerous amount of workers, that she discussed and engaged with. “How did it go with the workers? Were you able to get the information we need?”.Pedro asked her.“It was a tedious process, Master. I spoke with at least seventeen workers, and it turns out that, two amongst our employees there, were his stooges”.Roseline replied him.“Can you imagine the insolence of this man? He even converted employees of the company to his minions”. Pedro said to her, slightly annoyed.“Master, you do not need to worry your head much about this whole situation. The other workers during the course of my discussions with them, all pointed at the other

“Good morning auntie” Lisa greeted her auntie, Josephine, as she got into Sarah’s room, at the hospital. “Good morning my darling, you are here”. Josephine reciprocated her niece’s greeting.“Yes auntie. I had to rush down here, because I know you must be very tired, from watching over Sarah, through yesterday till this morning”. Lisa said to her auntie, Josephine. “That’s thoughtful of you, my darling. I am actually very exhausted. I had to get some snacks from the hospital’s cafeteria to eat as dinner, to avoid going through the night on an empty stomach”. Josephine said to her.“So sorry about that. You must be very hungry as well. I am here now, to watch over Sarah, to enable you go home, so you can shower, make something to eat and rest for a while”. Lisa said to Josephine. “Yes, my darling.

“It’s morning already?”Lisa said, as she opened her eyes. It was the next morning already and she had just woken up. “Morata wake up, it’s morning already. I’m sure you are going to go to work today”. She said to Morata, tapping him on his back, as he was sleeping on his chest. She tapped him till he sluggishly woke up. “Hmmm. Is it morning already? We just slept not long agooo”.He said, groaning. He didn’t realize they had both slept off last night, and it was morning already the next day. “Yes, it is morning. I have to go get ready and leave for the hospital, to see my sister, Sarah. My auntie should be exhausted by now and I have to be there, to take over the watch of Sarah, from her, while she goes home to take care of herself”.She said to Morata.“Okay my damsel.

Please, do come through to the house. I will be expecting you. It’s been a while”. He continued and finally ended the conversation over the phone. He didn’t bother to put on much, since he and Lisa had plans of having sex later on. He wore a white striped sweatshirt and shorts and went down stairs to join Lisa in the sitting-room. “Hey you, what took you so long? Was the shower that good?”.Lisa asked Morata, looking up at him, smiling, as he made his way down the stairs to the sitting-room, to sit with her. “Hehehe.

She walked right in and headed to the car. “Heyyyy, look who is here. If it isn’t the damsel herself”.Morata said in excitement, seeing Lisa, who had just walked into his compound. “Good evening Morata, how was your day?”Lisa greeted him and said to him, smiling at him. She walked to him, placed her hand on his shoulder, rubbing it mildly. “My day was good. Had these meeting with some potential clients, who came into the country from Italy, yesterday, to meet with me for business”. He replied her. “That’s nice. I see you, Mr. Big business mogul”.

“Helppppp. Somebody, anybody. Ah! Uh! Please, I am too old for this”. Don Michaelson was crying out for help. He was being beaten up by the two men assigned to his prison cell. They had started beating him up again, going at it for five minutes. “Help!”. He exclaimed again.“Shut up! No one is coming. You are stuck in here with us and no one is coming to help you”. One of the men said to him, as he kicks his stomach, while Michaelson was on the floor, struggling with his stomach and holding it, because of the pain, they had inflicted on him. “Hey you, Michaelson, better prepare your mind ready for a court appearance next week. Hehehe. You will be going to jail real soon”. Detective Harry said to him, laughing after he came to his cell, to say to him.

The person kept talking.“Thank you. But no, I do not want that”. He replied to the person, on the phone. The person continued, while Pedro listened. After few minutes, he replied,“I do understand, but like I said before, I do not want it to go down that way. Thank you”. He said to the person, repeating his stands on the issue, before hanging up the phone.Afterwards, he dropped to the ground and did some pushups and then went into the bathroom, to take a shower.
