For Susan not to have gone out in her car and security, she had an ulterior motive and her plan was to be away from Jamole just for tonight.Promptly, she raised her gaze and recalled how Jamole propsed to her on the street where she disguised as a pauper and how Jamole doubled as her husband and heir. She stroked her hair and dared to snap out it.Swan Group was about to be hit by the worst nightmare and this would mark an end to all her father had labored for.The news was making the round now. Even when the taxi driver tuned to a radio station, Zhang Becomes Highest Shareholder at Swan Group, sounded audibly.Susan corked an eyebrow and commanded the driver.“Can you please turn off, that shit? A rockstar music would be preferable”.”Sorry, ma’am.” The taxi driver apologized, knowing fully well who he was conveying and how deeply hurt she would be over the failure of Swan Group. “It is a pity, ma’am.”Susan gave him the cold shoulders, threw her gaze on the pedestrians and houses t
Once Roger drove into his compound, he let a scoffing laughter and took Susan upon his shoulders before prancing into his mansion.Susan Pablo barely knew where she was let alone her present state. She was weak and heavily tipsy, and wouldn’t have allowed Roger to take her to his mansion if she wasn’t alcoholic.With excitement hanging in his eyes, Roger whistled a bizarre song as he took Susan upon his shoulders and made upstairs where he intended to spend the night with her.Right about now he was nervous and anxious at the same time. Severally, she had invited Susan over to his house; especially to spend the weekend and she hdd declined it.“To night you belong to me. I will have you to my satisfaction and expect news of pregnancy from you. in that case you will have no option than to marry me, Susan you think you are smart…” he graoned within himself , “But I am smarter…”He kicked open any door that came his way until he got into his room, and laid her gently in bed.He smacked h
“Boss”, the security bowed to Jamole, “We found her lying under the heaviness of alcohol. She was just in her wheelchair.”Jamole peered at her face, and perceived the exudates of alcohol from her breath.“She is heavily drunk. Who knows what that bastard did to her,” he sad as he observed her face and body. You can return to your duty post, I will handle the rest now.”“As the boss pleases,” one of them replied and led the team off security away.Jamole squatted to Susan who was stolen away in snoring and slumber. He held her arms, stamped a chaste kiss on it and grinned.“I am sorry, sweetie. I… I shouldn’t have allowed you to leave the villa tonight. I want you to cast your fears on my shoulders and forget your worries at my feet…”He lowered his gaze once thought of Zhang becoming the CEO of Swan Group hit his imagination.“We are going to get over this. I promise me this trouble will give way soon. Zhang can only make a noise he can’t own my company. Swan belongs to me and me alo
Jamole swallowed hard upon hearing that question. And nothing seemed to be in his thought anymore as his mind went blank.“Um …um… yeah, father, they are thriving. The staffers are doing their best to keep Swan moving. Everything is perfectly alright.” He hesitated, tossed his head in approval. “Yeah everything is fine?”Swan let a huge smile drag down his chin. “Each time I hear that Swan is thriving my veins are filled with bubbles of joy. Anyways, why should I be scared when I have a capable son-in-law like you.”Jamole forced a smile. Thought of Zhang struck him in the head and contradicted what Swan just said.Swan pointed at the TV. “Do you know that the doctor disconnect the TV and cable. He wouldn’t want me to know what is happening out there. I don’t ever read newspapers anymore…”A heavy cough interrupted him and he sucked a deep breath, yet feeling like uttering more words.Jamole robbed him on the chest. “Take it easy father, easy,” he said and gave him water to drink?“B
Susan was fiddling with her fingers and staring profusely at the photo she had with her father a few years ago before the accident which almost snatched away their lives.The creaking of the door interrupted her thought when she perceived Jamole by her side, and she sighed and rolled her eys furiously.“Doctor told me everything that happened to father, how your presence made him throw up blood and almost passed out. What did you tell him? I thought we agreed not to tell him anything” Susan snapped.Already Jamole had raise his brow at her. “And who told you I revealed any thing to him? It was even father that was anxious to know the happenings at Swan Group and I tried my best to hide it from him…”Susan shut her eyes and hummed. “Father’s health keep depreciating each time we see hope. Perhaps he could feel the storm that is about to hit Swan Group…”Jamole shook his head, “I don’t think so. It is just incidence. He doesn’t suspect anything. I was with him and his words were full of
He burst into a grateful laughter.Jade stared at him with dark, brooding eyes.“You and that poverty sticken Jamole can continue being the janitor, even jamole may lose his job because Zhang dislikes him, and I will convince him to sack the pauper…”“I see,” Jade said and added, “Is that what you are celebrating? It is not worth it.” He handed him back the drink. I don’t celebrate failure. You can go ahead an drink the juice on my behalf…” he started walking away.“Hey, Jade hold on! What is wrong with you? Zhang is my pal and is excited to promote me when he finally becomes the CEO of Swan Group. Is that supposed to get you walked up?”Jade walked a few step backward. “May be you shouldn’t have visited him in his office in the first place. Come on, that is rebellion. How sure are you that Zhang is going to own Swan Group. For all I care all this could be rumor…”Andre burst into a quick laughter. “Rumor? Come on, jade, this is not a news I fabricated or the one making the round at t
Roger hosted Susan to a cocktail dinner at the coffee Café. What he expected after the other night with Susan never happened. He expected the security to inform Susan, they found her in his house.And since Susan never asked him about it, he guessed the security kept it from her and for one bit he was grateful for this singular act by her security.Otherwise Susan would never have believed him if he had enthroned he didn’t touch her while she was in his house.For one moment silence hung over them while they sat to their order, and Roger could tell the impending trouble of the moment had hit her hard with despair.“How is your family planning to deny Zhang the possession of Swan Group? I guess you know there is no time. The media looks toward the D-day; the masses are having itchy ears for the dispossession of Swan Group from Swan Pablo…”Susan interrupted, “Point of correction Zhang is not dispossessing us of our company. The anonymous heir is working out something and everyone will
Andre and Jade were scooping the mountains of snow that sealed the entrance. It was almost closure hour and they had been a heavy down pour earlier. The convoy of Ferrari were steaming by the corner and Susan’s security were standing by waiting for Andre and Jade to be done with the snow so they could drive away.As soon as they finished, the security officer hopped into the car, while a handful of protocol offcers and aides descended the elevator with Susan.About advancing towards her convoy, there was a sudden screeching of tyres and promptly, all eyes came on the fleet of Rolls Royce that stretched across the road.A closer look at the plate number already announced who it was.Andre was quick to whisper to Jade; “Zhang Meng is here, the new CEO of Swan Group.” He was all smiles, so much interest in his eyes.Then everyone least expected the next action that happened. Andre scurried to the Rolls Royce and bowed POWERFULLY; waiting for Zhang to alight.“What is wrong with this pig
