"Elena, today is the day we will be getting the official notice from the legal holdings conglomerate as regards the contract we will be signing with them," Andrew said as he kissed Elena intimately.
"That's true and we will be one of the richest elites in the whole of Aurora and beyond. Let me get a call across to Donald" Elena responded picking up her phone to call Donald.
"Hope you are prepared for today's great news," Elena asked.
"Of course I am and I'm sure Father and Mother are also happy to hear this news everything went according to our plan and now that wretched Jared can rot in hell for all I care" Donald responded laughing loudly.
Mr Harrington interrupted Donald's call.
"Donald, what have you done again this time!" Mr. Harrington yelled.
"Father, I don't understand what you are talking about" Donald responded confused.
"Donald, did you see the news? did you see what just happened? The legal holdings conglomerate had just cut down all ties with us!" Mr. Harrington yelled angrily and was shaken.
"No Father, you must be mistaken" Donald responded, still confused as to what is going on.
Elena could hear the conversation over the phone and she was confused until she put on the TV and saw things for herself.
Alexander the vice president of the Legal Holdings company has just released a press statement saying they are cutting off all sorts of business connections with the Harrington family due to the embezzlement case they had a few months ago.
Elena was shocked and scared trying to figure out how the embezzlement case got out.
"What is going on?." Elena ask confused.
"I will be going to see Alexander and make sure this misunderstanding is resolved."
Elena said trying to calm herself down.
"Don't worry babe, I am sure this is all one big misunderstanding" Andrew said trying to calm himself and Elena down.
"Don't just stand there looking at me like a fool, do something!." Mr Harrington shouted at Donald which aroused Mrs Harrington's attention from the kitchen.
"What's wrong honey? Mrs Harrington asked worried.
"The legal Holdings had just cut off all business dealings with us because of this useless son of yours!" Mr Harrington responded by shouting but this time he fell unconscious as his blood pressure went up.
"Call the doctor immediately!, Please". Mrs Harrington said, shouting for help.
Hearing all that going on over the phone, Elena knew she had to go to her father's house immediately.
"I heard the news what's going on?, how is Father feeling now? Is he still unconscious?" Elena asked worried.
"The doctor said his blood pressure has risen high" Mrs Harrington responded looking worried sick and crying.
"Don't worry Mom, he will be fine" Elena said trying to console her mom.
" I am going to the legal Holdings conglomerate to have a business discussion with Alexander. I'm sure we will agree and this issue will be resolved" Elena said as she was about to leave the house.
"No, you can't go. You are yet to settle your divorce scandal with that destitute bastard and you are already married to Andrew. So you can't go so as to not stare up another issue. I will go myself" Donald said.
"He is right Elena, let him handle it" Mrs Harrington added.
"Fine mother, he should handle it" Elena responded coldly.
Donald drove off to the legal holdings conglomerate while he made a call to Andrew.
"Andrew you need to come to meet me at the company, I am on my way there now" Donald responded palpitating.
"Fine, I will meet you there" Andrew responded.
Donald requested to see Alexander on his arrival at the legal holdings conglomerate and he got the worst treatment of his life.
"You have to wait outside while I inform the boss of your arrival" the guards ordered.
"I have been calling Alexander forever and she is not picking up my calls".
"Just let me go in to see her" Donald insisted, trying to force his way in.
"You need to go back outside and wait till you are called!" The guards ordered as they bounced him out of the reception.
"Okay, okay, fine. don't touch me I will go outside" Donald responded dusting off their hands from his.
"Donald is here to see you, boss, what should I do?" Alexander asked as she walked into Jared's office
"keep him waiting for some while until I decide what to do with him," Jared ordered.
"Okay boss" Alexander responded.
"You can attend to him now Alexander and do not disclose my identity yet to anyone," Jared said a few hours later.
"You can come in now" Donald was called in to see Alexander
"Alexander, this is a big misunderstanding. what is going on? I heard the news… I just want to believe it is not true" Donald said trying to calm his nerves.
"Well, it is true. We are cutting off all connections with the Harrington family" Alexander reaffirmed.
"What is wrong Alexander? why make such a decision? I know you have the power to make all business decisions in this company" Donald asked worried.
"Please Alexander, don't do this" Donald pleaded.
"I did not make the decision, the president of the legal Holdings conglomerate did" Alexander responded.
"What? Wait… I don't understand, I believe you are the one in charge of the company" Donald asked.
"The president, Mr Sinclair is back," Alexander responded.
"O…okay, who is the president? I would like to speak with him myself" Donald requested.
"The decision has been finalized Mr Donald and there is nothing you can do about it. Please leave right now!" Alexander ordered.
"Please listen to me Alexander, don't do this for god's sake" Donald pleaded.
"Guards?Take this man out of this company" Alexander ordered.
Donald was thrown out and to his greatest surprise, the reporters were all waiting outside ready to question him.
"Mr Donald Harrington, we heard you had an embezzlement case of over 5 million dollars, in the past few months. how did you do it? why did you embezzle such a high amount of money?" The reporters swamped Donald with a series of questions.
"We also heard that the Apex alliance company also embezzled non-governmental organisation funds for months that were to be used for the poor and the orphans. Is that true Mr. Donald?"
Donald's jaw dropped on hearing this question. this was a secret that had never been said to anyone before. how did the reporters find out about it? This made Donald's mind reeled in confusion.
"I… I won't be taking any questions for now" Donald responded as he tried to find his way to his car.
Jared from his office watched all the drama unfold as he smiled to himself.
"This is just the beginning," Jared said as he picked up his phone and made a call.
"Is everything ready" Jared inquired.
"Yes young master, all the plans are in place. All we need is your order to execute" the voice responded over the phone.
"Okay then, execute it now" Jared responded.
As Donald drove off from the legal Holdings conglomerate he received a call from Andrew Donald. "I am close to the company where are you, Donald?" Andrew inquired."You have to go back now Andrew, things are really hot down here. The reporters are everywhere I am on my way back" Donald explained over the phone."Okay Donald, what happened? Were you able to resolve the issue?" Andrew asked concerned."Things are worse than it seems. All our secrets are out to the press, embezzlement case, the reporters know all about it and not just that the… the family secret we have been keeping for years"."The reporters know all about it, I have to call Elena now I don't know how my mother and father will take this news".Donald responded as he ended the call on Andrews."Elena, things are worse. The non-governmental organization secret we have been keeping for years, the reporters know all about it.""I… I… I don't know what to do. I am on my way back home now". Donald said to Elena over the phon
Just as they were having their family dose of pain and sorrow over Donald's fate, Andrew's phone rang. "Your phone is ringing Andrew. You should pick it up". Elena said. "It can wait, Elena, what's important now is you, right now you and your mother needs me and that's all that matters now. Every other thing can wait" Andrew said. "No, just pick up the call it could be something important. We already have a lot on the table as it is" Elena insisted. Andrew stepped away to pick up the call only to get the biggest shock of his life that the police had just raided his store and they had found a lot of incriminating evidence against him in terms of sexual scandals and illegal trafficking of drugs. Andrew was shocked to hear the news, the drug business has always been a secret no one knew. the police who knew about it had always been tipped off about it to keep the secret. So how come they raided his store? All these questions ran through his mind simultaneously. "No no…you must be
Elena recognized that voice immediately, it was Jared. "No… no…no, it can't be. Jared is dead. He can't be the one" Elena thought to herself as she raised her to see who she was talking to.It was Jared. Elena felt like the word should open and swallow her. So Jared has been the one behind to whole attack. Jared is the heir of the legal holdings conglomerate, she was shocked Beyond words. She was there on her feet, begging her ex-husband whom she treated badly to help her."It's nice to see you again Elena" Jared said as he moved towards her while she was still on her knees"No…no…no, this has to be a very bad dream" Elena thought to herself trying not to believe that the man standing in her front in none other than her ex-husband whom she had treated badly. "You can raise your head up now Elena… or are you ashamed? Oh!, I'm sure you had never thought not even in your wildest imagination that one day you did be kneeling in front of your supposedly"pauper husband" right?" Jared said
"Leave me alone!, I can walk on my own!" Elena shouted at the guards as they approached the company's gate."Leave her alone, she won't be able to survive this". Steven, Jared's right hand man ordered the guards to let her be."And who are you Mr Man?" Elena asked."I am the man who will support Mr Sinclair in bringing you down. The pain I saw in his eyes at his godmother's burial is enough to send you to hell Elena and trust me you have no idea what is coming to hit you soon". Steven said as he walked away."You know I would have decided to help you after I bring that worthless Jared down but seeing you have teamed up with him, you are now part of my blacklist and I advice you to watch your back because I will crush you so bad you would beg me to end your life". Elena threatened."You can try all you want but let me give you a friendly advice regardless of your disgusting character. The reporters are already on their way, so for your own good, I advice you to leave quietly. I am sure
Andrew!, Wake up. You have to prepare for today." Elena said tapping Andrew from his deep sleep."Oh God Elena, I just need to sleep some more. I haven't had this long sleep in a while." Andrew responded trying to get back to sleep."Wake up!, You have to get there early even before the security men to show him how serious you are and also we need to do some make up on you before leaving." Elena explained still giving Andrew a slight blow to get up."Okay, okay… I will stand up." Andrew responded as he couldn't bare her tantrums any longer."What!, Elena it's just four o'clock, it's not even dawn yet and you are waking me up?." Andrew said angrily."Does your sleeping solve the problem at hand?, Oh!, You could even sleep. I could not close my eyes all through the night. I was awake thinking of what today would be like for you and here you are sleeping like someone that has no problem." Elena replied Andrew harshly.Andrew knew in as much as he loves Elena, she can be very mean sometim
"Ja… Jared, please…" Andrew begged but he was interrupted by Jared."Don't you dare call me Jared!, Address me properly or I will have kicked out of my company right this instance!." Jared said."Bo… boss, please I beg you have mercy on me." Andrew pleaded."You know when you all treated me like a pauper, I still had better clothes on me than what you are wearing at the moment so saying you are wretched is an understatement for how you actually look like." Jared said."Anyways, what can I do for you?, I mean I ought not to grant you audience but then, what is revenge without watching you beg for my help. I derive so much joy in watching all your life accomplishment being taken away from you in a blink of an eye. I had always known you are wicked and you were also a cheat but I never knew you do drugs.""Imagine what the police would do to you when I inform them about your drug dealings. All I need to do is just to make a call and you can as well join Donald in prison. I mean I know th
"Activate the tracking device now." Jared ordered Steven."Yes boss, I will do that right away." He responded as he bowed in respect."Andrew, I know this is going to be easy but I also believe that you can do this. I am sure he believes we are divorced already so we have to use that to our advantage as soon as possible before it's too late." Elena explained."Is the tracking device ready?" Andrew asked."It will be ready by tomorrow. We have to make sure you know how to sneak into his office first before you can put in the chips." Elena said."I know." Andrew responded looking tired." We have a long way to keep up now. We have to keep going Andrew, we are almost there. Once the chip is in. We will have the secret file and Jared would be done for me." Elena said as she squeezed his hands lightly.The phone call from Rick, Elena's brother, disrupted her conversation with Andrew. His voice, usually vibrant, now carried the weight of daily humiliations endured at college. Each word seem
Andrew and Elena had spent the night talking about how the next day would turn out for them. How they would derive so much joy in watching Jared find out that the secret file is missing and how they would threaten him with it."I will walk confidently to work tomorrow. That I am sure of." Andrew said."Sure, you will. Once you leave for work by morning, I will activate the chip and make sure I get every information we need." Elena said."What if he doesn't keep the secret file in his office. Or what of he doesn't come into his office the whole day?, What are you going to do then?." Andrew asked curious."Do you really think Jared will not come to work tomorrow? You have no idea how much he gets in seeing you as a cleaner in his company, I am sure he wouldn't miss that feeling for anything. Even if he doesn't have anything to do, he would come to office just to mock you and I am sure he is also suspecting you are up to something so he would want to keep a watch on you." Elena explained
