“There's one thing I need you to have in mind, is your opinion about my brother, means absolutely nothing to me.” Beatrice took a closer look to scan Lincoln's bruised and bloody face. “The card… you said you have it? Can I have it?” Her patience was wearing thin. Lincoln scoffed, “Hold your horses cowgirl. I don't have it… but I can arrange for you to receive it.” Beatrice burst out a mocking laugh, “You don't make arrangements for me Mr. Lincoln, I have people for that… I'm not exactly certain you're even working alone.” She had a hunch he was sent by Byron. And this was probably one of their tricks to either kill her or get her out of the way, same way they did with her brother. “I work for no bastard! Believe it or not I don't care!” Lincoln barked, his expression dark. Beatrice cocked a brow as she sensed the seriousness in his tone. Byron must have done something to his cousin for him to wanna betray him this much. “Well if you really wanted to bring me the cards as you'
Byron sat at the long table, on the boss seat, carefully listening and talking when necessary.At the back of the chair he sat was Miller Guidotti; boldly written on it. Derek sat not too far from him and his phone on the table while he talked to them.This was the first meeting he'd be attending this month and most of the employees knew it might probably take him about two months to organize this again. But there was never a problem as everyone worked diligently and professionally.Gate Corporations was a standard and cooperative company. And with the rules Byron made, anyone found doing the opposite was sacked with immediate effect. “.... Briefly explain the retort from the financial department.” Byron said then Yvonne stood from her seat and walked over to the board.“....The contract with Benevela Group of companies was signed by you two days ago and so far, the profit made was about 6.2 billion and still counting….”Throughout the meeting, as Byron spoke and asked the necessary
“It's….”Beatrice immediately dropped the call, not wanting to hear more than she already heard. Alex not being a Smith was a secret she was ready to take to the grave.Her heart raced more than usual as she shut her eyes, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves and emotions.She wouldn't wanna show Lincoln how worked up and restless the tape she just heard made her feel. “Curse you Henry.” She muttered, gritting her teeth in pain. He was never meant to go close to Byron. Now Byron had gotten access to his phone and she was the one to suffer for his foolishness.“If Byron could have access to Henry's phone, I doubt he was the one who killed himself.” Beatrice said to Lincoln who just rolled his eyes.“Think whatever it is you want… But would you love for the whole world to know your brother impregnated you and you gave the child to a….” Before Lincoln county finished, Beatrice cut him short.“Shut up! You have no evidence!”Lincoln smirked, “There's always a DNA test to prove things
“Lincoln!” Sucre's face lit up as Lincoln walked into the warehouse. They shook hands before hugging each other.“How did it go?” Sara and Tbaj asked in unison as they stood to glare at Lincoln who just stepped in.“It worked.” Lincoln announced with a bright smile.“Oh, yeah?!” “Jeez! Yes!”They all smiled, helping Lincoln take his seat. His face was covered in bruises, they wouldn't help but wonder what happened.“What happened to your face, meh?” Sucre asked, scanning his face.Sara dropped a glass of water on the table for him, “I was wondering the same. What's with all the bruises?”Lincoln gulped the water at one go before sighing. “If you want something so good, you have to pay the price! No pain no gain.” He remarked. “Where is Byron?” He asked, scanning the warehouse as he couldn't see Byron anywhere.They all fell silent.Lincoln raised a suspicious brow before asking again, “What's wrong? Where is my cousin?”“He didn't say where he was going.” Sara sighed. “But with the
“Don't listen to him, Jack. Do your job.” Liam muttered with a cold look.Jack did a metal check on Byron then he said, “Hand me the keys! This obviously isn't your car! Don't make me repeat myself or things are going to get really ugly.”Those words got Byron frowning real good. “And it's obvious you've had too much to drink. Because only a drunk man would listen to a word from a lunatic!” He barked, indicating Liam as the lunatic.“Jokes on you then! I might just take drastic action if you keep insisting! This Rolls-Royce is worth more than 104.9 million dollars. There's no way in hell a pauper like you can afford such a thing except you stole it or you're about to steal it!” Liam sneered.Jack added, “My thoughts exactly! For all we know, the owner could actually be in the store!”Yvonne frowned, “What the…”“Say the fuck you want, I don't give two fucks! All I know is, this car is mine!”Liam and Jack burst out laughing almost immediately. Liam especially was hundred percent certa
“Talk to me! What the fuck is going on? Why are the cops here?!” She demanded an answer from Liam and Jack.“Mr. Bella,” Liam called calmly before pointing at Byron, “This pauper here stole one of our precious clients car keys and just as he was about driving their car out, I caught him in the process.” Bella shook her head in disappointment, “May I know who this customer is or evidence that a customer in there is the owner of this car?” Jack quickly added, “I have been looking at this angle for quite a while and I never saw this young man drive in with this car. He is simply a petty ass thief.”The manager didn't hesitate. Without warning, she raised her hands and gave both Liam and Jack a thunderous slap.Her left hand landed on Liam's cheeks while her right hand landed on Jack's, hitting them at the same time.“I will not let your foolishness cost me to lose my job!” She barked coldly before turning to face the cops, “I apologize for this trouble. My boss can't try to steal his c
“....In the news…. Mrs Smith was found dead in her apartment, about an hour ago… more updates will be brought to you shortly….” Sara ran her fingers through her hair then her eyes left the TV in front of her and darted over to Byron. “This is impossible.” Sucre and Lincoln said almost the same time.. “She can't be dead!” Lincoln frowned. As they all expressed their dissatisfaction about the news, Byron had an expressionless face, while going through his phone. “I'm sorry.” Sara tapped Byron's shoulder. “Why are you sorry?” Byron scoffed, zooming into the dead pictures of Beatrice online. “Well… she's your stepmom and….” “I never considered her family.” Byron cut her short, “If anything, she deserves what she got but it would have been more deserving if I was the one who squeezed life out of her the way she did with my father.” Byron explained. “The tape we got is useless.” Tbaj said, biting his lower lip hard. “I feel bad for Alex, how do you think she'd feel?” Sucre said out
Derek poured out the smoke in his mouth with bitter pain evidence on his face. Sophia, Alex and Richard all bowed their heads as he unleashed his anger.“So… you all wanna tell me you had no idea Byron was Miller Guidotti?!” He barked breathlessly. What a nice way to be surprised. He laughed out loud at the thought of being fooled by a person like Byron.He had always thought there was more to Miller Guidotti for not always showing up even on important meetings, aside from the fact that he prefers being emailed than receiving a call. Though whenever he calls, Miller Guidotti's voice was far different from the Byron's voice he was used to. He believed Byron must have used a settings on his phone to fool him with a different voice.‘Smart.’ He thought with a frown.Sophia and the rest shook their heads in fear. “Personally, I had no idea at all. I promise, Derek.” “None of us were aware.”“I would have been the first to let you know if I was, Derek.”“I swear! He looked nothing like B
