“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
By the time she was able to clear the video off Liam's laptop, she still hadn't noticed the USB wasn't there. She gave his laptop back and walked out. Just then, she felt kinda weird as Liam left the laptop for her to delete what she wanted without trying to stop her like he did earlier. It felt unlike him to…. Shit, the USB! She turned back and rushed back into his room. He was about to press put the USB in the laptop when she took it from him like her life depended on it. “What was that for? Are you hiding something?” Liam frowned… he should have followed his heart and locked his door but he just didn't. Maggi didn't say anything. She simply turned back and walked out of his room. The next morning, Larry, Ava and Maggi stood outside to welcome Byron who just arrived. He got down from his car and greeted Larry politely. “Son, good to FINALLY have you back.” They both shook hands but were suddenly interrupted by little Ava's voice. “Daddy! I miss you!” Her voice was a
“You're here, welcome Ms. Harmon.” Grandma hugged the beautiful lady who just walked in.“Come honey, sit beside me, dinner should be ready in a few minutes.” Liam kissed and took her hands.Ms. Bianca Harmon is Liam's fiance. They have been engaged for two months now and Liam can't wait to get married to her.He had no time and his plans had to fall in place soon.While the maids arranged the table, they all chatted away happily, ignoring Byron's presence. Byron himself did not say a thing. He sat there as if they weren't in front of him.Dinner was set and after some time, Ms. Harmon raised her head at Byron. “You must be Byron Smith?” Byron leaned into his seat. “Sure, and how should I address you?”“I'm Bianca Harmon, my mom is the owner of Harmon Builders… I'm sure you've heard about the company.”She added, “I heard you were once married to my soon to be sister-in-law.”Byron nodded. “Yes.”Larry immediately interrupted. “He is married, Bianca… they are still married.” He corre
The next morning, Byron was set to leave. As he walked past the living room, Liam asked, “Where the heck are you heading to?” Byron shifted his gaze at him, “I have something to take care of. I'm sure you can't relate since all you do is chase women.” Byron said calmly.He wasn't wrong. Liam was so nonchalant about the family business. All he was good at was going after the opposite sex. It makes Byron wonder if he indeed has a good plan in connecting with Platinum Enterprises. Liam frowned. “You…”“Save it! You can tell me when I'm back.” Byron cut him short and walked away, not caring to listen to whatever Liam had to say._At the head office of Platinum Enterprises[Emerald Hill Branch], Joanna Ibarra sat in her office on the fifth floor, anticipating the arrival of her boss.She had gotten the information that their boss was on his way to have a discussion with her. She couldn't help but feel nervous. She had seen him in newspapers and magazines but had never had the opportunit
“How shameless can both of you be! I'm having doubts if you're even human.”Bianca yelled from the couch. “How dare you try to scold my fiance and I?” Byron wiped Ava's tears and dropped her on the stairs. He gently used his two hands in covering her two ears.“Well the both of you better get a hotel or something if you'd keep moaning like a lost ghost who needs help!” Byron yelled, staring daggers at Liam.How shameless could this man be? Ava was his blood but he kept acting nonchalant to the things she heard.She's still a child!“Both of you are adults! Fucking act like one!” He lost it as he saw the girl wiping her tears. How dare he scold her when he was the one at fault?Joanna clenched her fist and walked up to Byron. She swung her palm at Byron's face but he was fast enough to catch her by her wrist, making her cry in pain.Liam furiously sent a punch at Byron's face.Byron raised his leg and kicked Liam, sending him straight to the ground. “Fuck!” Liam cried in pain. Byron
Joanna noticed the reluctance in Liam's face. She could sense he was skeptical about the whole arrangement. “You’ve got some worries and so do we. That's why I believe It's best we leave you to think things through, Mr. Armstrong. We'd love to get feedback from you. If you're not okay with it, we can end our collaboration.” 4 billion was a lot to turn down. Liam couldn't help but nod in agreement. Buying back their shares was top priority for him as of now. Platinum Enterprises wasn't just any company. “No… there's no need, I'll sign it.” Liam said, grabbing a pen from the desk. Upon signing, Joanna extended her hand and they both shook hands. “Nice doing business with you.” “Thanks,” Liam said and brought out something from his pocket, “My wedding invitation. I'd love you to attend, it will be an honor.” Joanna smiled and accepted it. “Sure, and congratulations by the way.” And with that, Liam exited the office. Later that evening, Byron walked into the kitchen to get
