The next day, when Stephen returned to the office, he was still worried about his grandfather’s plans.

He needed to tell Vanessa the truth before he brought her to have dinner with his grandfather. It didn’t have to be this weekend, but it had to be soon.

Then he had the matter of the party, according to the invitation it was for this friday.

He had to take Vanessa out to buy a dress for the event, one that suited her place as his fiance, not one of those tacky dresses socialites liked to buy.

How he wished he could talk to his sister Amalia about the matter, but he didn’t even know on whose side she stood.

Would she even believe him if they met?

He was pulled from his thoughts when someone called his name.

“Mr. Sy, boss.” It was Andrew Wong, waving his hands, trying to catch his attention.

“Andrew.” Stephen greeted as he straightened himself. “Is something wrong?”

He and his team were busy with a new project and Stephen was trying to figure out a solution when he got distracted.

    “They are targeting you and you know it.” Natalia hissed as soon as they returned to their area. “I know, how could I not know?” Stephen asked as he laughed at how crazy Mr. Ong and the department head were thinking this would take him down. “Are you going to the Chairman? Surely this qualifies as a reason to go to the Chairman.” Michael Ho asked in a low voice. They all knew that Stephen didn’t want his connection to the Chairman to be exposed, so they all did their best to keep it a secret. “If I ran to the Chairman for every little matter, that would make me no better than them. Besides, the task they have given us is not impossible. We have a month.” Stephen declared, much to his team members’ shock. “They gave us a month.” Natalia reminded him. “Enough time. Get me all the information on our costs and a flow chart on how our products get from the factory to the customer. Also I want to see a chart on their customer experience when ordering from us.” Stephen told them.

    “Stephen!” Vanessa excitedly greeted as Stephen picked her up for lunch. Both of them had asked for a three hour lunch break, which Vanessa’s boss happily agreed to. While Stephen on the other hand was subjected to multiple insults by Mr. Ong, but he didn’t care. Mr. Ong was going to make things difficult for him no matter what. “Hey love.” Stephen greeted back as he kissed her on the lips before driving them to a high end mall nearby. He knew that he would have to butter Vaness up before breaking the news about the party to her. So, he took Vanessa to her favorite restaurant, where Vanessa started to get suspicious. “Stephen?” Vanessa asked as she looked at her fiance. “Did you do something wrong?” “No.” Stephen quickly answered, a little too quick, making Vanessa suspicious. “You made breakfast for me this morning, gave me a gift before we left the house, took me to have lunch in my favorite restaurant, clearly you did something wrong.” Vanessa said as she glared at Steph

    All the dresses that Vanessa came out in looked like they were made for her.Ms. Carmen wanted to ask her to model for her store, but she knew that it was inappropriate since she was the future Madam Cho.Such a woman of high status was not suited to be a model, she was meant for greater things in life.“Miss Vanessa, I actually have some outfits that I think would look good on you. They are office wear and everyday wear, I would like to invite you to try them on.” Ms. Carmen said as she circled Vanessa.She was right about Vanessa’s measurements at first sight, everything fit her like a glove.“I coul

    “Amalia, I think I left my coat inside the dressing room, would you accompany me inside to get it?” Robert Ke asked the young woman with dazzling hazel eyes as he began to panic. The moment the words left his lips, Robert Ke knew he had said the wrong thing. “Robert, you’re wearing your coat.” Amalia Cho pointed out looking at him as if he were crazy. In front of them, Stephen gave Robert a thankful smile as he left the boutique with Vanessa. He quickly drove her back to work before finally returning to Cho Industries. It was only when he arrived back in his office that he was able to fully process what had happened. He had seen his younger sister. He wanted more than anything to turn around and hug her, to tell her that he wasn’t dead. Stephen wanted to introduce Vanessa to her, he wanted to tell Amalia that she was going to have a sister-in-law that could help her bully her brother. He wanted so many things and yet he couldn’t speak to her. When Stephen returned to the off

    “Ch- Ch- Chairman Cho.” Catherine Ying said in shock as the Chairman approached her. “It seems to me that you are putting your own interests ahead of the company, what did this young man do to you?” Eldrich Cho asked as he glanced at Stephen, pretending not to know him.Stephen’s team members gasped in shock. Not only did the Chairman arrive at the perfect time, but he was also pretending not to know Stephen.They began to wonder why the Chairman and Stephen were hiding the fact that Stephen was personally recruited by the most powerful man in the company.“Chairman, it’s just that my department has a lot of matters to work on. We don’t have a lot of time to answer his queries.” Catherine Ying tried her best to save her own skin, but she already knew that her efforts were in vain.Eldrich Cho had heard it all. Stephen had sent him a message on Monday asking him to witness something, he didn’t even ask his grandfather for help. But, how could the old man watch as his grandson and h

    Back at Cerulean Cafe, Stephen calmly sat back down in his chair as the members of his team stared at him in shock.They were still processing what had happened, while Stephen was already eating his meal.He looked up at them and gave them a confused look.“The food will get cold.” He told his team as he resumed eating his meal.“Sir, how can you think of food at this time?” Andrew Wong asked as he looked at Stephen as if he had grown two heads. “Because it’s lunch time.” Stephen answered them. “Why are you acting as if someone had just died and come to life in front of you?”“Sir! Do you really not realize what just happened? What you just did?” Natalia asked Stephen as she shook her head.“I spoke our truth and got lucky, it’s not a miracle.” Stephen replied.“So that wasn’t you asking a favor from the Chairman?” Andrew Wong teased as Stephen looked at him and smiled.“I may have mentioned to him that if he wanted to see something exciting, to come to Cerulean Cafe for lunch.

He also couldn’t wait to peel it off of her when they got home.“It’s on loan from my employer.” Stephen said as he got out and opened the door for Vanessa. “It’s for attending events.”The car was not on loan.Eldrich Cho had purchased the car in Stephen’s name and even had it modified to have the hig

    “The Lu family is working with the underworld?” Hans asked as he glanced at his cousin in disbelief. Over the years the Underworld was one part of Marina City that both families had failed to control. If the Lu family managed to pull into their fold the leaders of the Underworld and Stephen was not the head of the Essen Mafia, they would have easily crushed the Cho family.“They don’t, sir. At least not yet.” John clarified as he spoke to the cousins over the phone.“What do you mean?” Hans asked.“No one person can rule over the underworld of Marina City, let alone this country.” John told Hans. “The city and this country is too diverse for any one person to take control. There is also the matter of people like the Lu and Cho families that make taking control even more difficult.”“Isn’t the Essen Mafia powerful enough to get them to follow?” Hans asked as he looked at his cousin.“Not as just the Essen Mafia.” Stephen said with a smile on his lips. “Huh?” Hans was now even more

    When Stephen declared the changes when it came to who would inherit the Cho family fortune in the future, Ina was no longer able to keep the reporters in line.Stephen decided to end the press conference there and move on.He, Vanessa, and Hans all left the stage and returned to Stephen’s office at the top floor. They were greeted by Paolo’s laughter as they entered the room, he was playing with Amalia and Robert. “Shouldn’t you be putting out the fire I just started downstairs?” Stephen asked as he gave Robert an amused look.His friend was never big on children.As a matter of fact, Robert was probably the one that was most against having children in their friend group. So it was quite the surprise for Stephen to see Robert happily playing with a child.“They don’t need me to put out that fire.” Robert chuckled as his phone began to ring next to him.“Shi-” Robert began to curse.“Language!” Both Hans and Stephen shouted, making Robert jump in surprise. “You two are going to scar

    Next Heirs

    Paolo Cho was a handsome child, it was something that the reporters couldn’t deny. He had received amazing genes from the Fredrikson, Ong, and Cho families, making him probably one of the best looking children around.But when Paolo Cho smiled he won the hearts of everyone in the crowd, even those that wanted to speak badly of the Cho and Fredrikson families.They might have been bribed by the Ong families and their allies, but there was no denying that Pablo Cho was happy.Pablo waved at the crowd and smiled. He then hugged his father as he shied away from the crowd again.People couldn’t blame the little boy, he had lived his entire life in hiding and now, all of a sudden he was in front of hundreds of people. Every single one of the reporters wanted to snap a photo of him or his father. It was obvious that Paolo was already getting uncomfortable with the situation.“I’ll bring him in.” Amalia volunteered as she took Paolo from Hans, allowing him to stand straight and glare at the

    Press Conference 2

    “Ah, I see you’ve noticed it.” Stephen said as he saw the confused expression on some of the reporters' faces.Not everyone had seen a DNA test in the past. Normally when businessmen and actors were trying to prove they were not the father of a child, the match would be much lower compared to what was flashed on the screen.“Allow me to explain for those who are seeing a DNA test for the first time.” Stephen said with a smile. “The report you are seeing behind me says that I am somehow related to Gabrielle Ong’s child. Now for those that are familiar with the genealogy of the Ong and Cho families, we are not in any way related.”The members of the media nodded as they slowly absorbed the information that Stpehen was telling them.Most were genuinely surprised at how kind Stephen sounded and at how willing he was to explain the situation to them.Normally, leaders in the same position as Stephen had little to no patience to explain trivial thing such as these, but Stephen took his tim

    Press Conference Part 1

    The parking lot of Philip Tower was filled with people chatting among themselves.It was no mystery what the Cho family was about to announce, they all knew that the biggest issue of that time was if Stephen Cho did or didn’t have an illegitimate child.Many people claimed that it was just a ploy of the Ong family to get their members out of jail.Others said that there was truth to it, especially since Gabrielle Ong was Stephen’s ex girlfriend.No matter what rumor people believed they all still wanted to be there. They all wanted to hear the truth and they all wanted to report it first. Inside the lobby of Philip Tower, Stephen looked out at the crowd that had formed.He had never expected that these many people would be interested in their personal lives. He thought that mostly gossip columnists would appear, but it seemed that every kind of reporter stood in their office’s parking lot.“You can’t seriously be surprised.” Hans said as he stood next to his cousin.“I just didn’t th

    “We need to make a press release, the media will not leave us alone if we don’t.” Amalia told her brother as they sat around the meeting table in his office.Among those Stephen had invited were people he believed were crucial when it came to the matter of Paolo Cho’s identity.“Have you gotten the Ong family under control?” Stephen asked as he looked to his cousin.He knew that only a few days had passed and that Hans had his hands full watching over Paolo, but they needed to make sure that the Ong family wouldn’t cause them problems.“Almost, there are still some who are trying to question my ability.” Hans said with a malicious grin. “My people are making sure they understand who I am today.”Stephen nodded, impressed by Hans’ efficiency with dealing with the matter of the Ong family.“So we can schedule a press release today, the news agencies will publish it tomorrow and everything will be settled.” Amalia said as she thought of the timeline in her head.“No, we won’t just releas

    Miguel Villanueva's Departure

    Miguel and Manuel might come from a weaker family than the Cho’s but they had begun as Stephen’s friends, so Stephen decided to accompany Miguel to the airport the next day.He had offered for Miguel to use his private jet and the younger Villanueva brother happily accepted the offer.Stephen and Manuel stood on the tarmac with Miguel as they said their final goodbyes.“I’m guessing I won’t see you for a while, boss.” Miguel teased him.Technically now it was true that Stephen was their boss. With the trade to protect their family name, they were more like his henchmen doing his bidding rather than his partners through a treaty.“Most likely.” Stephen said with a nod.His wife was pregnant and he had no intentions of leaving her alone for too long. “I just wanted to say, thank you.” Miguel told Stephen. “You helped us back then and you helped us again now. Jacob would have ruined our family if news got out about his cases.”Stephen nodded, then he realized something, he forgot to as

    The Villanueva Name

    Stephen had been exhausted by the night before.Paolo had woken up in the middle of the night and cried out for both Hans and Stephen. Stephen had been sleeping with the little boy at the time, but he refused to calm down unless his Daddy Hans was there.It seemed Paolo had settled on what to call them.Hans was Daddy, and Stephen was Papa. In the same way, he called Vanessa his Mama. When Stephen had asked a maid to call for Hans, his cousin seemed like he was about to burst into tears because his son had called for him.“Boss?” Andrew called, waving his hand in front of Stephen. “Sorry, Paolo had a hard time sleeping after yesterday’s incident. What were you saying Andrew?”Stephen asked as he tried to focus on the discussion at hand.“The bidding for the latest piece of land that that government has put up for sale starts in a week. The procurement director wanted to ask if you wished to purchase it.” Andrew informed Stpehen as he handed him the details of the piece of property.
