Roger sat before Susan in her office; they had barely spoken to each other and Susan was inwardly rehearsing the next action Jamole told her to execute.Jamole had instructed her to render Roger broke so he was going to make any mistake about it.Meanwhile Roger had come to lament over his salary; just like everyone thought he countered himself more privileged and special to the Pablos ; his salary shouldn’t be tampered with.“Sweetie,” he called pointing her attention to a paper, “Are you aware of this?” he queried, pointing emphatically at the signature of the anonymous heir, “My salary was seized by the anonymous heir.” His eyes became aflame. “This is unfair.”In pretense she raised a thick brow, “Oh your salary was seized. I am not aware of this. This is the absolute decision of the heir to Swan Group and I don’t think I have the guts to query him…”Roger made a face at her. “Are you kidding me? You are Susan Pablo the only child to Swan Pablo. You should have equal authority with
Jamole was busy dusting the office supplies in Stella’s office when she barged in and almost got startled .“How many times am I going to warn you to clean my office in my presence? Why are you so daft and poor at the same time?”While she fumed at Jamole she dared to wipe her eyes and sniff back tears just to make sure she left no trace of hurt. Roger had hurt her a while ago and she wouldn’t want to give Jamole the impression that she and Roger were about to go their separate ways.“Apologies ma’am,” Jamole bowed and raised his head smiling mockingly, “Um , ma’am the marriage proposal saga is still trending.”Stella corked a frown.Jamole mocked her, “Come on don’t give me that look as if you don’t know what I am talking about,” he said when she made a straight face.Stella pretended and asked, “I beg your pardon. What do you mean by that statement?” her jaw slacked as she winked in fear of what Jamole was about to say.Jamole sounded more emphatic by bringing out his phone and showi
Roger’s dawn was ordered by a rumbling and shuffling noise close by and when he got out of his bedroom he met Stella’ thunderous face and her luggage all packed and ready to leave his home.His heart leapt for joy.“Finally,” he said in his mindNoticing Roger by her side Stella hissed and threw her gaze away.“You should have done this without disrupting my sleep,” Roger said amidst smiling face. “I hope you know you are not leaving with the Rolls Royce. It belongs to me, even though I gifted it to you.”Stella grinned hard and snarled at Roger, “Hold on, not only that.” she took off her Arabic Coral Gold Ring . “The ring belongs to you too. The ring you used in deceiving all these years, the ring that never made it to the altar to be your legally married wife.”With arms pocketed Roger fumed, “One thing you have always forgotten is that not every relationship leads to marriage. Some could say a peaceful goodbye while others a pitiable heartbreak. But I think I did you well.”With her
Soon Roger was invited for a brief board meeting. And in the meeting Susan Pablo introduced to the staffers, the new staff in the block.Hired by the anonymous heir, Mr. Charles Rowland would be the auditor in charge of finance.Pointing at the Native American, Susan had said, “Hence forth his duty is to supervise and confirm funds in our prestigious company. The accountant is answerable to him and he in return is answerable to the heir. Am I understood?”All the staff echoed, “Yes, boss!”Jamole , like every other staff stood all smiles and scanning his gaze across faces. A few of the staff were happy to meet with the professional auditor save Roger and Stella who had their faces meshed with hate and anger. Also Jamole had noticed Roger sat apart from Stella; this had never happened before. He could confirm now that the love birds had gone their separate ways and could be indulging in eternal war now. He smiled hugely now. His mind was filled with bubbles of joy.Stella forced a smil
Roger was suffused with thought as he stared at the C of O document of his house and the document of his two Lamborghini, which would be collateral for the loan he needed.He had not done this before but he had to do it and please Susan Pablo who had been pestering him with her undying need for Gross Diamond Stiletto.Although he knew Susan could afford the shoe but he suspected he was putting him to a test.He wanted to be sure of his fate in his bid of becoming the son-in-law to Swan before committing to Susan.Few days ago in order to get the nine million dollars loan from Antipolo Central Bank he had been told to submit documents for his house and car.“Oh Lord what fate awaits me if I should take this bold step? I really want to be the heir to this multibillion dollars company and the only way I could be chosen is only if I marry Susan. Hmmm,” he hummed and stared thoughtfully in the space.This was the hardest time of his life; ten million dollars for a pair of diamond high heels
“All you need to do is to know who the heir is , seduce him make him fall in love with you so that Roger will regret ever breaking your heart.”That was the voice of Zara.Vivan, Zara and Kennedy had showed up in Stella’a house shortly after she put a call across to them that she had finally left Roger’s house.“I thought you consulted the security to help you identify who the true heir is,” that was Vivian’s voice, “Was he able to give you positive result?” she asked yet further.Stella sighed and gave worrisome look at her pals. “The asshole flopped the job despite paying him twenty thousand dollars and the worse of it was the security and Jamole mocked me…”“Mocked you?” the three of them said in unison.Stella jerked her head, “Yes you can imagine that pauper that calls himself my ex-husband making jest of me. But I am going to show him I am Stella pitcher, the solid wife that fed his broke ass when he couldn’t afford a square meal.”She brought out an envelope, “I am going to sack
Jamole had thought about boosting back his net worth to what it used to be when he was appointed the heir.Nights past he had thought about investing in profitable industry that could benefit him and nothing else had crept into his mind than the aviation industry.One night with his night cap grimly held in his hand, he invited his wife Susan over to the pent house for a business talk.“I can’t remember the last time I had a business talk with my husband. He has been busy bringing vengeance upon erring staff,” Susan said jocularly as the security pushed her in the wheel chair.Once Jamole perceived her by his side he muttered, “I have to raise the dike since so much is expected of me as the heir. Don’t forget my father-in-law expects my success. I can’t afford to disappoint him.”He poured a cupful of Whiskey Sour for Susan and handed over to her.Susan chirped and gazed upon Jamole with reserved admiration,“Business ambition shouldn’t take away my husband from my side. Nights past I
“You just mentioned the auditor has the backing of the heir. Why don’t you charm the auditor and get him to reveal the heir to you. This is the only time you can charm the heir to your heart.”Stella stood, gazing thoughtfully in the space as those words of Zara resounded in her mind. Desperation wasn’t a perfect description for what had possessed her. If it would take charming the editor with her body juts to make sure he revealed the identity of the heir to her, she was going to do it.She had made greater sacrifices in the past and this was not going to be a different ball game.“I am pained and hurt,” she mumbled within herself, as she stared into the mirror,“Men of class and of low standard have mocked me and broken my heart,” she chuckled, “I must know who the heir is. I will pay whatever price it will cost and when I finally know him, he shall be mine,” she said and let a threatening chuckle.“Jamole thinks I shattered because Roger left me, well I am going to prove to him that
