"M-my son?" She spluttered in shock."Yes, your son.""Make me understand what's happening in the first place. How did Archie get such money to purchase it from you? I think I'm asking the wrong questions. Tell me how much he got it." She demanded.Ralph didn't know if he should be totally truthful because from the way she was reacting, he didn't want a case whereby the young man would talk to him however he pleased because his mother had lambasted him. "It's not important. I only need your consent to buy it back. At least we can own it equally." He proposed. The only thing running through her mind was the fact that she had been working for her son all these while and he didn't deem it fit to tell her for one day. It made her mad. "I won't sell it to you because we all know how greedy you can get. What's the assurance that you haven't begun to look for tricks to be able to get it from me, huh?" She inquired, shutting him up. She would confront her son later but for now, she wanted
"You don't have to run away. I won't endorse that. I thought that we had resolved issues that day. Or didn't they?" "They did anyway but I am not interested in marrying anyone that I don't like. I know my father and how he loves to control people's affairs. I'm here to show him that I'm a different breed. So, I just came to inform you so that you're in the know. I have spoken to my cousin in Manchester who said that I'm welcome. I'll just stay there for the weekend. You have to be very careful of my father. He'll come visit." Bailey explained to Archie. Archie's spine stiffened when he heard her words. There was absolutely no way that he would deal with someone like this at least for this reason when he knew that there was something else at stake. He was trying his best to be sure that there were no lapses on his end for future's sake. If her father marked him as a bad influence on his kid, there was absolutely nothing that he could do to erase that conception."Instead of that, com
Archie jumped backwards immediately he saw the change in the direction. "Why Me?"His Mom had also descended but had called Marshall before then. "Tell them to wait a bit." He instructed her. "What do you plan to do to my son?" She acted surprised. This was nonsense, now she would have to be acting all cool, calm and collected just to make them tell her things that she should know. "Take him out since he has refused to learn." Rufus answered honestly. He had nothing to lose because no one could trace him, not even his boss and he had already gotten a huge pay. All he had to do was execute the plan. "You should shoot me instead." His mother told the man. That was the only way she could stop him from doing such evil to them. "Take me to your boss instead, I'll come with his daughter and hand her over to him so that he doesn't have any cause to panic. I understand how it feels." She replied. Rufus shook his head, Archie had to pay for this nonsense. As soon as he raised his gun the s
The sound of a beeping monitor disturbed everyone's peace as they kept on watching its flicker. Archie tapped his feet on the ground impatiently. If he had his way he would have sued Bailey's father but even he knew that the law could go against him. This wasn't like the movies. Unless he wanted to risk exposing his identity. With his father in the know, he still felt like justice was taking too long. All he needed was a go ahead for him to destroy everything that man thought he had. How dare he try to destroy a person's life without remorse? Did he think he could hide behind his castles? Now, he couldn't wait to become CEO to file a petition against Bailey's father, the gardeners of what happened between both of them. Marshall watched his son concocting various plans and knew that the best way to get him to understand how the law and politics worked. The best person wasn't the first to take a person to court. He was gathering various evidences that would lead to a substantial case
Marshall raised his head the moment he heard a knock on the door. River poked his head through the door with a small smile on his face. "Good morning, Dad. May I come in?" He chuckled after hearing her voice but was rewarded with a small smile that appeared on Marshall's face. He quickly shut down all the applications and nodded. "Sure, come in." He spoke.River took tentative steps into his father's office as he brimmed with plans that threatened to spill over if he wasn't careful right now. "I have been thinking about several things but one thing has stood out for me." "May I know what that is?""It's the fact that I might have been a bit too forward, and forgot the real reason you're doing this. I mean, I wouldn't lie that I wasn't angry when I heard that your beloved son was going to take the lead. I felt really bad and it almost seemed like my life was crashing right in front of me but now I know better." He began. Marshall stared at his third son who was trying to play a fas
“So what the fuck are we going to do about the situation? It’s so annoying the way he treats us like we’re off the streets or something!” Ryder said in annoyance as he tapped his foot on the ground. He was pained by the turnout of events. It has been a rollover of events for them since their dad decided that they’d been spending too much and he needed to cut off some of their spending. Ryder hated all the principles of this idea, and he rebelled immediately, saying his dad couldn’t do that to them, but he had his mind made up. They initially left him alone so he would probably be able to change his mind but that didn’t happen.“I don’t know, you’re the only one that needs money here, I'm also lacking and now I Can't afford my lifestyle anymore because there’s no money, I can barely feed.” “Tell me about it; my whole life is falling apart due to financial Instability, and that old man doesn’t seem to give two fucks about what happens to us,” Ryder yelled out and his veins could visi
“Help us in what way?” River asked, arching his eyebrow at her.“ I know what your situation is right now and I can assure you that I can be a very good help to you, more than you can even imagine.”As soon as she said what she was saying she immediately stopped talking and she looked around to check if anybody was eavesdropping on their conversation. The boys also looked around in confusion wondering what was happening and why she was acting that way like there was somebody spying on her or something.“ What is going on? Why are you looking around like there’s somebody listening in on our conversation or like you’re scared of something?” Ryder finally asked with a confused look on his face.They initially thought that she was trying to mess with them or she probably heard their conversation before she walked up to them.“ I just want to be sure that there’s nobody around that can be listening in on this conversation.” She said with a wicked countenance that even made the boys more w
Archie arrived at the airport at exactly 3:00 p.m. after making moves to ensure that he was able to get a place to stay as soon as he landed, he was happy that finally he could get to business and return back to his city. A man was waiting for him outside with a placard having his name. “Good afternoon sir, are you waiting for me?” He asked the man. His father had told him beforehand that this was going to happen but she was to make sure that the person wasn't just trying to cajole him. A few people had a way of getting into the systems to know the Passengers arriving and portray themselves as chauffeurs. So one had to be very careful. The man nodded and raised a band that his father had told him the man possessed. That helped him out a lot in identification and he quickly entered the car."I'm taking you to the Grand Tulip Hotel." The man began conversationally but Archie shut it down. He wasn't in the mood to discuss anything with the driver, especially in a town where you knew n
