Before Baron could get down from the car, Ambrose slammed the door shut and hurried to go inside the house However, Baron moved swiftly enough to catch up to her. His usually radiant face was now filled with gloom. His beards had grown beyond its usual level. He looked like a shadow of his former self Nobody knew about this, but for the past weeks, Baron had been facing immense pressure from his father He thought it was an easy task to run a company, how wrong he was! It was real loads on his shoulders, so many sleepless nights and sacrificesHe barely had time for himself. All he did was bury his head in work. Since his company wasn't as high end as Snyder's corporation, he didn't have as much people to share the work with. So, he had to cater for some things himselfWork was boring and hectic. He badly missed the times he wasted his time away in the club and hanging out with friends doing completely useless things. Earlier that day, he gave up, dropped all he had on his hands an
“Mum, what are you doing here? You didn't say you were coming. Honestly, this is a huge surprise” Ambrose tried to avert her mother's thoughts from Baron. She knew her mother well, she got worried easily. And if she told her that Baron once tried to forcefully get close to her, she might drag her back to Dallen Haves “Don't cover up my question. Who's that man?” Her mother asked again Ambrose took a deep breath and replied “That's Baron. He said he likes me, but I don't feel the same for him. He has been pestering me for a long time” Ambrose replied. She didn't lie, sort of. She just fabricated a bit of the truth Her mother stared at her for a few seconds before she looked away and replied “Stay away from that man. If possible, get another apartment, so he wouldn't know where you live. I don't want him anywhere around you”Ambrose rushed to her and hugged her tightly “Alright, mother. I missed you soo much. I haven't seen and touched you in three years”A smile broke on her mother's
She couldn't let it slide just like that. She was sure Ambrose knew from the start that the package was for her, but she didn't step forward to receive it because she wanted to embarrass her in front of everyone Yes, that must be it! "You'll pay!" Meanwhile in Damon's office, Oliver walked around the office, reminiscing about the past years when he still visited the office as often. While Damon engrossed himself in his work. Attending to several issues at once. Orlando clasped his hands behind his back and stood behind Damon as he worked “Nathan, about breaking off the marriage agreement between you and Ella, it has to be discussed with Ella's family. It's better if it's done as soon as possible. Things like this shouldn't be left dragging for too long” After Oliver was done walking around the office, he went back to the sofa“ I already spoke to her mother”Damon replied “Really? When was that? What did she say about it?” Oliver asked Damon thought for three seconds before he
Damon's eyeballs moved as he tried to make sense of what he heard. He came after that boy died. Did that boy die before his mother gave birth to him? “How old should the boy be now, if he were alive?”Damon asked “24 years”“The same age as me. What do you mean I came after he died?” Damon asked Carter closed his eyes and shook his head “Kid, trust me. It's better if you don't know these things. Just keep living your life and pretend you didn't come across that picture”“I won't hesitate to slash your ears off if you don't answer me” Damon's voice was laid with dangerCarter heaved a deep sigh before he said “ Paula is not your biological mother”Gbam!!! Damon felt as though a roofing of glass just shattered on his head. His grip on the knife loosened and the knife fell to the floor Seeing that Damon was discombobulated, Carter pushed him off him and ran away. Damon didn't have the energy to go after him. He sat on the floor with a heart weighing heavy His mother wasn't his biolo
Tom picked the picture and gazed at it. It was a photo of Ambrose in her college. She was smiling and talking to a felllow student “What has such a gorgeous girl done to offend you, princess?” Tom finally asked “That's none of your business. Will you help me with this?”Tom smiled and tapped his shoe on the floor. He twirled the photo in his hand with his eyes lingering on Ella's face “I need more clarity. What exactly do you want me to do to her?”“That's completely up to you. Just make sure she doesn't recover from it for a long time”“Where does she stay?”Ella told Tom all she knew about Ambrose. Where she lived, schooled and where she worksElla knew Tom would help her to do anything she asks for. He has been on her tail for so long, since they were teenagers, wooing her and trying to be in a relationship with her While Damon was away, Ella's mind didn't really drift to having any relationship. She liked her solo life. So long she had money and could look down on others, she w
Margaret pursed her lips together and lowered her eyelashes. She laid back on his chest and asked “I don't understand why you did that, still. But, I trust you”Jeremy's shoulders stiffened when he heard Margaret's latter sentence. Trust? If she knew all the things he had done, would she still trust him? “Father is a good person. And Nathan, he's a good kid. You have a wonderful family. Even master and madam were wonderful people, life is just an irony for letting good people die so quickly” She said Jeremy's entire body felt like rock. His body stiffened. He couldn't move a muscle, even his heartbeat seemed to have reduced its pace He has never really thought of the possibility of Margaret finding out about the things he has done. It doesn't matter anyway, if she finds out, she'd have no choice than to take his side. They're married, he should be her first priority Besides, Jeremy was sure she wouldn't find out. In fact, he was sure nobody would Soon, he'll send Damon to where
“Why are you interested in my matter?” Carter rubbed swallowed the boule of turkey without chewing and raised a brow at Jeremy “Did that kid send you here?”Carter gulped down a glass of water and stood up from the chair “Are you in cohorts with him?”He lifted his legs and wanted to run out the door but Jeremy's words stopped him “Do I look like someone that takes order from anyone?”Carter looked down at Jeremy's shoes. Its shine and quality looked like it had more worth than Carter's entire being It's true. He looked like a wealthy man. Probably even more than Damon. What reason would he have to listen to Damon. Besides, Carter was sure he had never seen Jeremy, so it's impossible for Jeremy to harbour any vengeful intent towards him He returned to his seat and continued from where he was and dug into the leftovers on the table “Do you know who his biological parents are? I mean, that boy that was chasing you” Jeremy asked “I have no clue. How do you want to help me? You see, I
“Alright, mother” Damon responded. Ambrose's mother handed the phone back to Ambrose “Uhm… I-I'll see you tomorrow then” Since Ambrose's mother was unaware of her relationship with Damon, Ambrose didn't know how to talk to Damon in presence of her mother “Mhm. Don't be nervous” As though Damon was able to sense that Ambrose was restless, he tried to calm her “Yes. Good night”The call ended Immediately the call dropped, Brandon's call entered Damon had no intention of picking up. A lot was roaming through his mind and the last thing he wanted was someone to cause him more headache. But, Brandon was persistent. He kept calling. Damon ruffled his hair and connected the call “Nathan! I've got big news for you. But it's not a good one though” Brandon's voice loudly rang through the phone's speaker “Leave it to tomorrow morning”Damon replied “This can't wait. It's about that girl you like, Ambrose”“What happened?”“Earlier today at the set, Ella almost ripped Ambrose's hair off i
