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
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
