Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 55 (An Attempt On Summer)
Drake welcomed the new day bathed in the warm embrace of the morning sun, a sense of purpose mingled with a tinge of yearning in his heart.It was his second week at the office and everything seemed to be going on smoothly, except for the fact that Mr. Simeon was becoming a pain in his butt, always looking for a way to get at him, probably because he gets to work with Lucy most of the time, always making him feel jealous.He only wished Simeon knew he was a married man with a beautiful wife and daughter, then, he'd probably understand that his relationship with Lucy was purely professional and that there was no form of strings attached.Unlike every other day at work, Drake had begun his day with his long forgotten customary ritual of forging into the day ahead with the familiar aroma of freshly brewed coffee.It had always been a ritual for him, during the time he was still living with his parents, something he had learnt from his father, George Sullivan.Having assigned a couple of
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 56 (A Desire For Revenge)
Drake stood speechless, still grappling with the weight of everything that now seemed to be pressing heavily on his shoulders.Just when he thought things would be fine, everything seemed to be falling apart even more. He walked up to Summer's ward and saw the life savers working very well, her vitals still intact.Walking back to the chief of the district police, Drake instructed him to do everything in his power to find out who it was that had made an attempt on Summer's life."The attempt made on your wife's life had probably stemmed from a desire for revenge." The chief of district police said. "Whoever had attempted this murder probably holds something against Summer or anyone connected to her, probably you."Drake's mind raced with conflicting thoughts as he tried to put a finger on who could have been responsible, and only three names came to his mind - The Simmons' family, Viking and Lieutenant George. "Double the security, double everything. Nothing must happen to Summer,"
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 57 (The Cohorts)
"What?" Hitler's exclamation pierced through the phone. "How could you have failed in carrying out such an easy task?" "I'm sorry boss," Jake, one of Hitler's most trusted henchmen, who usually helps him carry out his dirty jobs apologized. "I was almost disconnecting her from the life savers when a nosy nurse suddenly showed up from no where.""You imbecile!" Hitler retorted angrily. "With your failed attempt, the police will begin to investigate deeper into the whole situation and that could put all of us in trouble.""Sorry boss. I promise to take care of this mess." Jake assured him."You'd better do that," Hitler replied sharply before dropping the call."What did your henchman say?" Lieutenant George asked Hitler in the presence of Mr. Simmons, as all three of them have become a team fighting against Drake."He couldn't get the job done," Hitler replied, the weight of the disappointment evident in the tone of his voice."We already know that. You said so while the call was goin
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 58 (Need For Nanny)
Mr and Mrs. Wilmont had gone through the profile of all the ladies who had applied to be Michelle's nanny but none of them seemed to meet up with their preferred requirements. They needed someone who was smart, intelligent and has a certified recommendation from any of the social services or a well renewed orphanage.They had just finished speaking with the last applicant on their lists when Fletcher's phone buzzed with an incoming call from a strange number. Reluctantly, he answered the phone, refusing to speak first and waiting for the caller to introduce him or herself."Hello, Mr. Wilmont," A deep masculine voice greeted from the other end."Hello, may I know who I am speaking with?" Fletcher inquired, racking his brain to find out if he could recognise the voice of the caller, but nothing was coming to his head."I'm calling from the social service and childcare agency and I saw the advert you dropped with the media houses that you're in need of someone who'd help you take care o
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 59 (Hiding Identity)
There was a rising tension which rose within the office as some of the workers were beginning to question Drake's efficiency in carrying out his duty as the assistant manager of the company, owing to the fact that the sales department which was directly under him had been experiencing downtime since he assumed office.Rumours also had been going about that Drake was the grandson of Walter Sullivan, raising more questions from the employees. Even if they didn't want to believe the rumours, the fact that it was Walter Sullivan himself who had recommended him for that position made the rumours almost appear to be true to them.An emergency board meeting was called with Drake was also requested to be in attendance, so he could say something for himself about the rumours that was spreading all over the office.Mr. Simeon had called for the meeting without prior notification to Walter. Within just a month of Drake being in the company, he was already feeling threatened by him.First, he fel

"Ring. Ring. Ring." The door bell rang."That must be the lady from the social service and childcare agency" Rachel said, turning to face Fletcher who was engrossed in his newspaper.The news on the Simmons case was getting tougher as the affected individuals from the effect of the harmful chemicals have decided to take them to court. He couldn't help but wonder who was behind them."Go ahead and see for yourself," Fletcher, not wanting to be disturbed. Rachel quickly stood up from her seat and went to see who was at the door. Opening the door, she was greeted by Lucy, looking radiantly beautiful."Hello ma'am," Lucy greeted with a beautiful smile spreading across her lips. "This must be the Wilmont's apartment?" She added."Oh yes. This is the Wilmont's apartment, and who are you?" Rachel asked."I'm Lucy from the social service and childcare agency. I was sent from the agency after we got the information that you needed a nanny for your granddaughter." Lucy replied, her beautiful s
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 61 (Miss Prisca)
Drake was surprised when he learnt that Lucy had resigned from her job. He hadn't expected it, making him wonder what could be the reason for her resignation.He could be only help but imagine how Mr. Simeon might be feeling at that moment. If there was something he didn't understand with Mr. Simeon, was why he went about claiming that Lucy was his girlfriend, when over and over again, Lucy had publicly denied it.The meeting with the other members of the board had been adjourned as a member was later noticed to be absent, and according to the company's policies, no board or executive election was allowed to be conducted if all executive and board members except Walter Sullivan was not present.Drake had decided to get back at Donald for trying to outsmart him and spreading the rumour of him being grandfather Walter's grandson. Even if he didn't have any evidence to support his claims, he was very sure that Donald was behind the whole spread of the rumour.Drake was still busy attendi
Rise of the Pauper Son-in-law Chapter 62 (Lucy Settling In)
Lucy resumed work with the Wilmonts as Michelle's nanny, mindful of what to expect from the little girl. She didn't know why, but she had already felt attached to her during their first meeting."Ensure she takes her lunch early enough before her physiotherapist comes. Don't be hard on her as she's still trying to accept the fact that she'll never be able to walk again." Rachel instructed Lucy as she prepared to leave.She had been away from the office for quite some time due to the fact that they were yet to get a nanny for Michelle, and now that they got one, she felt it was time to get back to work and see for herself just how things were going in her absence.She just hoped a lot had not really changed owing to the fact that she had not really been much physically involved in the affairs of the company since the accident that involved Summer and the Simmons' family."Also, make sure she doesn't stay in her room, and lastly, incase her father comes, don't grant him access to her."
