Chapter 16"Martin! Wake up! Wake up!" Megan yelled, trying to wake him up. Luckily, the emergency department came over swiftly and they picked Martin from the floor. "Who are you to him?" one of them asked."He is my man" Megan replied, and they let her inside the bus with him. She quickly pulled out her phone and dialed her mother's contact."What's going on, Megan?" her mother asked "Martin fainted, and we are on our way to the hospital," Megan said, her voice cracking and Rebecca spit out the coffee in her mouth."What do you mean by Martin fainted, I will be there soon," Rebecca said, and the call came to an end.Megan was overwhelmed with emotions as she sat in the back of the ambulance, tears streaming down her face. Her sobs were quiet but heavy with worry and fear, she clung to the hope that Martin would be okay.They finally arrived at the hospital, and the chaotic scene of the emergency ward unfolded before them. Medical personnel rushed around, attending to patients in va
Chapter 17Owen looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, adjusting his suit, he walked out of his room and saw Mr. Reynold waiting for him, he was fully dressed too, ready for the conference meeting."Are you ready?"Mr Reynold asked and Owen thought about it, if he was truly ready to stand in front of everyone revealing his new identity, would he ever be used to the camera flashing on his face or paparazzi following him? He exhaled, not sure of his answer, and smiled "Let's go" he said instead, and they walked out of the house.They went inside the car and the driver ignited the car engine, driving them out of the compound, this time around there were several cars of security men following them to prevent what had happened before from repeating itself. Owen was in the car scrolling through his phone when he suddenly heard Mr. Reynold clear his throat and he tilted his head to look at him. "Remember what I have told you, it's not everyone in the family that is happy about your pos
Chapter 18Martin was busy seething in his room, he couldn’t believe everything he had worked so hard for was crumbling before him, who could have done that? Who could have set the contraction on fire and now he had to lose all his investment?Perhaps it was a bad idea when he sold his company and now he had lost everything, he had been trying to calm himself and tell himself everything would be alright but he knew nothing was going to be alright.He gulped down his tenth cup of coffee and walked out of his room, he went to the sitting and decided to get himself busy with something that could take his mind off the construction first and he would definitely find a way to sort it out.His phone started ringing again and he hissed, Megan had been trying to reach him and he wasn’t ready to talk to her, he didn’t want to have any form of communication with anyone until he sorted things out, he felt like a failure and it is one feeling he dreaded most.“Can you stop fucking calling!” he yel
Chapter 19“I still can’t believe it, how did Owen get rich overnight?” Megan asked and Rebecca sighed. They have been lying in bed after Martin left the house, still in thought about what was going on.“Do you think he kidnapped the real CEO? Maybe tried to blackmail them to give him the position” Tom said and Megan nodded negatively.“Owen is not that type of person at all. He will never kidnap anyone” Megan replied. Rebecca and Tom snorted.“You didn’t think he would be a CEO overnight, did you? Anything is possible, it’s obvious he has always been a liar and was always hiding things from you, he let you suffer while pregnant, he was never good for you” Rebecca said and Megan squeezed her eyes shut.“I don’t know. I am just confused, and I can’t think about anything” Megan replied.“Okay, perhaps you should rest first and talk to Martin later, you guys might come up with a way to help him get whatever he had lost,” Rebecca said and Megan nodded.They walked out of her room and shut
Chapter 20“Are you lost?” Megan suddenly heard someone behind her which startled her, she tilted her head immediately and saw a lady looking at her, she guessed she worked at the Roeye Empire because of the workers' identity card that was around her neck.“No, I am not. I am just trying to fix my skirt, I am done, and I will be leaving the building soon” Megan replied, and the worker nodded, even though she was finding it difficult to believe what Megan had said. “You should do it fast and leave, the way you are standing here makes you look suspicious,” she said and Megan smiled“Thank you” she muttered and watched the worker walk away, as soon as she was gone the smile on her face left immediately.She has been standing there for the past two hours and Owen hasn’t come out of the building. Just when she was about to give up and call it a day, she heard footsteps and looked up immediately, it was Owen and Mr. Raymond.“I think I will just go home and rest, I will try to find a way t
Chapter 21Martin sat down in the bank, impatiently tapping his feet on the ground, hoping the manager would respond to him soon. He had been here for over an hour, and they didn’t care about him, he wondered how their customer service was low, but he had no choice but to stay still.He was in dire need of help and this was not the time he flared up out of proportion, he exhaled and looked at his wristwatch, going the bank manager would respond to him soon, he heard his phone ringing and noticed it was Megan, so he hissed and ignored the call putting his phone in silence, it was better for him that way since he had something more important to attend to.“Mr. Martin, the manager is free to see you now,” one of the staff said and Martin stood up immediately “Thank you,” he said and walked inside the manager’s office. He met the manager at his seat who gestured for him to set down, and he did as he was told.“I have been waiting for quite some time,” Martin said, trying to control his a
Chapter 22“What are we going to do regarding your father’s health?” Rebecca said, and Megan ran her hand on her hair.“We shouldn’t tell him first, it will only worsen the state he is in already, you know he is still grieving over the company that he has to lock down” Megan replied and Rebecca nodded. She sighed and sat down next to her daughter.“I am confused about why everything is happening at once, I don’t know what we are going to do or who will should run to for help, have you been able to reach Martin?” Rebecca asked and Megan nodded negatively. “I haven’t been able to reach him, he is not picking up my calls. I have the intention of going over to his eyes, I need to know whether he is fine or not” Megan replied and Rebecca sighed, she was busy looking at the lazy rotation of the fan, she had felt so helpless in her life before and at this point she feels there is no light at the end of the tunnel.“Do you think Martin can lend us some money?” Rebecca suddenly asked, breakin
Chapter 23Martin was lost in thought and didn’t know what to do, he was tired of calling everyone and there was no one willing to help him. “I can’t go down the drain this way, I have to find a means to save myself” he muttered to himself.His hands were running over his hair frequently and his hair turned messy, he cleared his throat and decided to watch the news. Maybe that will help him relax and think of a possible way to get himself from the problem he had found himself in.He had been unable to feed properly, his heart had been filled with sorrows which made him joy to feel hungry, he took the remote control and turned on the television, he sat down and concentrated on the news.“The Roeye empire has decided to embark on buying the Zyril iron and steel industry, this was the first huge step the new CEO had decided to take and also…” he turned it on the television.He couldn’t believe he was here struggling while Owen had the thought of buying an industry which is only going to
