Rachel was shocked to hear what Darius had just said. She knew returning the money was near impossible at this point, and she had to find a way to convince Darius that it was not the best thing to do. She heaved a sigh as she tilted her head to look at Michael, and he tilted his head away.Michael thought of what to say to Darius as he tilted his head away from his mother, looking at the painting on the wall.“Don't let us go through that path.” Rachel suddenly said, and Michael tilted his head back to look at them, clearing his throat slightly.“It's what is best for both of us. Since you could not convince him to let go, Samantha. Then I feel returning my money is the best for us.” Darius said slowly as if he were counting his words as he spoke them, while Michael shook his head slowly, disagreeing with what Darius had said. He knew what they would be losing if they allowed Darius to have his money back, so they were ready to do everything possible to keep him in the family. “Yes,
“Mom! I don't want to talk about it.” Michael said as his face slowly turned into a frown. His mother kept mute for a moment, staring at him.“What happened?” Rachael asked, and Michael took his gaze away slowly, not uttering a single word. He stood up abruptly and decided to leave the sitting room for his room. “Come back here!” His mother yelled suddenly, and he stopped walking, turning back to face his mother, who had a slight frown on her face.“How dare you walk out on me?” Rachael questioned and Michael stood there mute, not saying a word. “I am sorry, mom. But you caused this.” Michael complained as he walked back to sit on the couch, facing his mother. He heaved a sigh as he tilted his head to look at his mother, who still had a slight frown on her face.“What are you talking about?” Rachael asked as her face slowly transformed from a frown into a puzzled look.“You needed to see the way that I was humiliated. Imagine the company, offering me a cleaning job.” Michael said, d
Samantha held her face immediately as she gasped in shock at what her mother had just done to her. Tears gathered in her eyes as she stared at her mother fiercely. She blinked slowly and tears rolled down her cheek freely. Michael ran towards her slowly, trying to pat her, but she gave him a fierce look, and he stepped back a bit.“Mom, you slapped me?” Samantha found her words right as she tilted her head slowly to look at her mother, who was not showing any remorse for doing that.“Yes, and I will do it again if you repeat what you did.” Rachael fired back, and she heaved a sigh as she tilted her head away slowly in disbelief. Her mother was hell-bent on making her leave the man that she loved for the man with wealth, but she was determined to go through all odds just to be with Eric. Michael could only watch, as he did not want to anger either his sister or his mother. “It should not be up to this,” Michael said and surprisingly, his mom did not say anything and Samantha also rema
Samantha stood there shocked as she stared at Tom, who tucked his hands into his pocket and stared back at her. She threw the dress on the floor and took a deep breath, trying to recover from the shock that she was in. There was only one thing on her mind as she stood there. How did Darius know what she liked and got all for her at once? She wondered. Her mind suddenly wandered off to her mother and brother as she heaved a sigh of frustration. She knew that they must have told him what she liked. “I have enough for today. Take your smelly self and your worthless gifts back to that shame of a man you call your boss. Tell him that I am not interested in him and I will never be interested in him.” Samantha said with anger brewing inside her as she stared at Tom.“Did you just insult my boss?” Tom asked with a frown on his face as he moved a step forward closer to Samantha, who took a step backward to maintain the distance between them. “Yes, and there is nothing you or anyone would do
“Running makes me a coward, honey, and I am no coward,” Eric said as he tilted his head slightly to look at his wife, who looked petrified. “What can you even do? Nothing. All I have to do is instruct these men, and they will beat you to a pulp.” Tom said, shoving his hands into his pocket after gesturing his initial words. “You have no right to come here and cause trouble. Take your men and the useless things you brought as gifts back to your foolish boss.” Samantha said in a sharp tone, pointing a finger towards Tommy, who was backing her. “Don't you dare insult my boss again? Or else…" Tommy said as he turned back rapidly to look at her when Eric cut in sharply, making him pause his statement.“Or else what? Huh? What are you going to do?” Eric asked with every bit of confidence in him. He stepped forward, and the men stepped forward too as he stared at Tommy directly in the eyes as if he were searching for something. Tommy heaved a sigh, taking his gaze away as he thought of wh
Eric held her hand and they both walked back into the house with only one thought in his mind, which was to make Darius pay for what he had done the hard way. He heaved a sigh as he climbed onto the bed, thinking about what had happened earlier in the day. Samantha walked into the room and lay beside him on the bed, heaving a heavy sigh. Eric tilted his head towards her slowly and she gave him a pale look, taking off her gaze slowly as he could only imagine what was going through her mind as she lay there on the bed. He cleared my throat lowly as he wanted to talk.“Baby!” Eric said in a low tone, and she took a deep breath.“Yes!” She replied, and he exhaled heavily.“I am sorry for what happened earlier today. I promise it will never repeat itself.” Eric said in a low tone as if he were whispering.“Let's forget about it. I just hope Darius doesn't come back with another strategy to take me forcefully.” She said, and he shook his head slowly.“I doubt he would be after the display t
“Good day, sir.” She greeted rapidly and bowed as Darius walked and stood in front of them. He heaved a sigh as he shoved his hand in his pocket, tilting his head slowly to look at Eric, who kept a straight face. “What's going on here?” He said as he tilted his head back to look at his employee who took a deep breath, getting ready to talk.“Sir, this man came here to seek a meeting with you. After careful evaluation of his physical appearance and manner of approach, I knew he was not the type of person you would like to meet, so I decided to decline his request to meet with you. He then started to yell and curse at me. It was when I wanted to reply to him, you walked in on us.” She explained, taking a deep breath to calm her racing heart as she breathed heavily. She tilted her head swiftly to look at Eric briefly, bringing it back immediately to look at her boss. Michael cleared his throat slightly as he tilted his head towards Eric, who looked away briefly before bringing his gaze
Darius was back on his feet now, tilting his head from side to side as he still could not believe his eyes and ears. How did he manage to pull that stunt? He asked himself but could not find an answer to that question. His heart racing so fast that he started to breathe through the mouth. He knew how important that project was for him and his company and would do anything to have the contract back. He took a deep breath as he lowered his head trying to think of what next to do but nothing was coming to his head as he could not think straight.Eric stood there, with his hands wrapped around his chest as he enjoyed the view of what was going on. He heaved a sigh as he tilted his head to look at the receptionist that earlier insulted him. He made a cocky smile, and she took her faze away immediately as she thought, how could Eric be this important to her boss all of a sudden. Eric stood there, quiet, not uttering a single word. There was a moment of silence as Darius was still in pleadin
