“You're very very beneath me. So, I really doubt that you're even sane to give me empty threats!” Lloyd snapped. Turning to Vanessa, he said, “Cars aren't cheap in Kudi, it's best if he goes to a store to get a good pair of shoes to trek with!”Byron said casually, “Who are you to say I should trek? What makes you think I can’t afford a car here?”Lloyd laughed mockingly, “Sure you can!”Holding Vanessa’s hand softly, he said, “I’m sure this foolish non living thing knows that the president of Mega Corporation is going to be here that’s why he decided to track you down here.”Vanessa could not stand it anymore so she slowly pulled her hands from Lloyd’s hold. “That’s enough Lloyd, I’m willing to get him the Benz… let’s just call it a little gift from me to him.”Just as they were talking, a fairly elegantly dressed woman walked in. Her breathtaking aura filled the air. Her looks were as divine as the goddess herself but the three weren't aware of her presence.The receptionist from e
“Did I make mention of being Mr. Smith's personal ophthalmologist? Believe me, just one word from him, and you'll be dead!” Lloyd felt proud seeing Alex's reaction and felt great satisfaction. He was really confident that by chasing poorly looking men out of a magnificent place like Kudi would impress both women. Alex wasn't having it anymore, she whispered into Byron's ears and walked past Lloyd like he is a nobody. Byron smiled and left while Vanessa and Alex walked into a private office, leaving Lloyd speechless. Just as he was about to follow them, a receptionist walked up to him and said, “I was told the president of Mega Corporation had arrived a while ago.” After hearing that, Lloyd gathered a few personnel who were neatly dressed and split into two rolls at the entrance of the door. Their heads facing the ground, awaiting the presence of the president of Mega. In the next 15 minutes they didn’t see a sign of the president’s car or him in person. “Is Mr. Smith sti
After dropping the call, Lloyd rushed out of the building. He turned around checking to see if he could see the president somewhere or even talking to someone. He didn't want to believe that Byron was…. No. He shook his head. Just then, his gaze fell on Byron who was making a call not too far from him. He did not understand why his uncle's and Carol's description were directed at this poorly looking fool. He walked up to Byron, trying to start a conversation with him. Deep baritone, yeah? He has heard Byron speaking but never really paid attention to his voice or how deep it is or isn't. “Byron, did you by any chance get a call from Mr. Mark? The owner of Kudi?” Byron said casually. “And who wants to know?” Lloyd's head buzzed immediately. He took a step back, glaring at Byron like he just met someone new. There's no way! That baritone was undeniably deep! Hearing him speak just confirmed what his uncle said! How come he never took notice of his voice until his
A car arrived then Byron turned and walked into the first car. Lloyd watched as the car drove out of the building. Just as Alex was about to follow suit, he got up and held her hand. “Ms. Smith, what about the contract…” Alex chuckled, “Well, then sign it.” She bit her lower lip. “The document is right in front of you… if you can still recognize where to put your signature then the contract will be for Kudi.” She said with a hint of sarcasm. Lloyd clenched his fist as she spoke. How the hell was he supposed to sign a paper that's been set on fire? Plus, he doesn't even know what was going on or what he did wrong for Alex and Byron to act coldly towards him. “I don't understand what you're saying but could you please help with the president of Mega Corporation's number? My uncle should be here any moment from now and I really have to…” “Who do you think just left? The governor of Mega Corporation?” is he sick or something? Lloyd was stunned. Just as he was about to ta
She took the USB back and placed it in her purse before leaving. She was already late and wouldn't wanna waste anymore time. She handed Ava to her nanny before walking out. As she got into her car, she heard Ava's voice. “You promised Daddy was going to come back. Is he angry at us? When is he coming back? Doesn't he love us anymore?” Liam and their uncle, Larry walked out of the as they heard Ava's trembling voice. Maggi paused and turned to look at Ava who was standing beside her nanny. She was speechless! She has promised that the last time because of her deal with Liam. Only now, she wished she had made her daughter see the one she has ever known as father. Larry went over to Ava with a smile. “It's okay honey. I'd go bring your daddy to you okay?” “Yay!” Ava hugged the old man and ran back inside. Liam didn't like this idea. He raised a brow at Maggi but she simply ignored it. What does he want her to do? Tell the old man and little Ava that Liam was her father?
“Are you crazy?!” “You're a sick man!” “F*ck you! You bastard!” A lot of insults were thrown to the man as he tried to navigate through the cars between him and Maggi. He even hit the car in front of him twice due to how fast he was going. Maggi on the other hand had noticed a white Benz tailing her a few minutes after driving out of the Shaw building. It was the same man. She went as fast as she could whilst checking her side mirror to see if she had lost him but no! “Fucker!” She yelled then went past her speed limit. She knew this was going to attract the attention of the cops but she just didn't mind at this point. Why was this man after her because of a useless USB? What was the USB about and why is he bent on collecting it from her? She had to pick Ava from school and now she wouldn't be doing that if not, she'd be risking her daughter's life. “Pray I don't get hold of you!” The man yelled and she could hear it. Maggi raised her head and saw the traffic light
Meanwhile, in the Dashiel Resort.Lord Dee was busy with the Members of The Mighty Four.Mr. Blake, was sitting opposite the table while Mr. Norton, Lloyd's father, was sitting close to him.Then Don Smith was sitting at the head of the table while they discussed the yearly celebration they have with their families as four of the most powerful and mighty families in the city of Emerald Hill.This year was going to be an exception as the leader's son was going to be present.Blake of all people loved the sound of that. After saving Byron from Lucas and his men, he got to understand the reason the young man decided to hide his identity.He of all people was secretly looking out for him. He felt Lucas' death had something to do with Byron but he just wasn't sure. He only had the hunch because Lucas was bent on killing the young man that day at his condo.Since the celebration was done once every year before Christmas, they had come to an agreement for it to be done in a month's time.All
His lights were off and with the heavy sound of his snore? One could tell he was fast asleep.She switched on the touch on her phone to locate the table where he kept his laptop.Her light was the only bright thing in the room as she didn't wanna turn on his room light so he wouldn't wake up.Slowly she turned the laptop on and inserted his password. His password to everything was Ava’s date of birth so it was easy.Maggi placed the USB at the right spot and taped the necessary buttons on the laptop and suddenly, a video came up.It was a normal busy day at the Global Oak Group, Derek's late father's company.People were going in and out of the company. After an hour, Maggi got exhausted as she didn't see anything important in the video. Just how their day went.Liam coughed then she turned to see if he was awake but he wasn't. Then she turned her gaze back to the laptop to remove the USB and head back to her room.But then, she saw about five people in a closed room. Two lying on the
