2024-10-29 19:42:56Scot spent the night in one of his father's mansions, where he was treated like a prince. The house was so large that it could house a whole community. There were housekeepers on duty at all times to attend to Scot. The chef prepared many meals for him upon his arrival last night, and a warm shower awaited him.
It made Scot feel so good, something he hasn’t been able to feel in a very long time.
The mansion’s interior was well furnished with modern amenities and the paintings on the wall completed the color of the curtains. When he was shown his room, he couldn’t believe how large it was because it looked larger than Jane’s parents living room and dining joined together. It could fit an entire family.
Scot's new life is so great that he has forgotten about the difficult times. Scot even slept like a baby under the cool air conditioner for the first time in his life. He was so deep in in the sleep that it was his phone's ringing that woke him up.
"Good morning, son, how are you?" Mr. Donald inquired of Scot from the other side of the line.
"Good morning, dad," Scot greets while stifling a yawn and stretching his body, he had a smile on his face.
His dad wanted to check on him immediately he came out of his prompt business meeting.
"I hope you slept well, son," he asked.
"Yes dad, I did," Scot yawned then stretched again.
“You went out really early” Scot states.
“Yes, I had an impromptu meeting with all the HR’s in my companies in this division. I wanted them to know of the new changes that would be coming” his father said, “Now that I found my son, there has to be some kind of change, you know?” the smile could be heard in his tone.
“Well, I will be delighted to know what changes would be made then”
“Yes, we will talk about it when I get home. I’m almost home”
“I’ll be expecting you dad” the call was disconnected and Scot stood up to get ready for the day.
He was glad because now, he didn’t have to start thinking about where to go when he wife threw him out of the house.
After he had gotten ready and changed into one of his clothes the maid helped him to dry-clean, he came downstairs and asked if his dad was home already and just then, the door opened to reveal Mr. Donald coming inside with a maid carrying his bag for him.
“Thank you” Mr. Donald thanked the maid as Scot took his briefcase from the maid and she bowed then left the both of them together.
"Hey dad," Scot put the briefcase on the couch and hugged his dad.
They exchanged pleasantries and smiled at each other.
"I was just about to have breakfast, join me dad," Scot said to his father, his face beaming.
Mr. Donald grinned, noticing how Scot's mood had shifted recently, it made him overjoyed. "Thank you but I had taken something earlier, why don’t you finish eating and we can get going to one of my companies," Mr. Donald said.
Scot felt excited that his father couldn’t wait to show him to the world. “Already?” he asked.
“The earlier the better, it will give me great rest now that I know that my son is found and is managing my companies well”
Mr. Donald went to his home office to pick up some files and in a manner of minutes, Scot was ready and they set out to head for the company.
"So, Scot, tell me about your wife," his dad asked as they drove away.
Scot was irritated by the question since it brought up old thoughts of Jane.
"Dad, I'd rather not talk about her," Scot replied, his demeanor changing already.
Mr. Donald persuaded further, and Scot agreed to tell him about Jane. He told him how much he loved her and how Jane and her parents mistreated him because he was poor. Her father didn’t come as frequent as her mum because he told him that he can’t be seeing a loser of a man every time he comes to see his daughter.
After hearing what Scot had to say, Mr. Donald shook his head in pity for how badly his son had been treated based on his financial status.
"But, do you still love her?" Mr. Donald inquired.
Scot couldn’t answer right away but he knew deep down that despite everything that had transpired, he still had feelings for Jane, but he kept that truth to himself.
"No, daddy, I hate Jane, and I'll never forgive her," Scot answered, his face red with rage.
Mr. Donald looked at him and sighed then concentrated on driving
They arrived at the company in no time and his dad parked in the garage made for the most executive staffs in the company.
"Ahaa... Scot, welcome to one of my companies," Mr. Donald exclaimed, but Scot was less than thrilled because that's the company Jason oversees.
Scot didn’t want to act odd so he managed a smile on his lips so his dad can see how excited he was to get inside but all he could think about was how to repay everyone in the in the company that mistreated him.
The corporation is very vast, with many facilities, including a supermarket.
Even before they entered the executive garage, every employee that saw the car bowed to it and waved in greeting.
The two men came out of the car then Mr. Donald turned to Scot.
"Go on, son, I want to get something from the supermarket," Mr. Donald said to him and he left.
Scot went to the entrance of the building then looked up at the name written boldly on the building ‘Frankstien Enterprise’. He let out a sigh, squared his shoulder, his head was held high as he enters into the building with a proud look on his face.
Scot ignored everyone he went past and their comments about him. Some were of surprise, some were of mockery probably in thought that he came back for his job. He didn’t mind them and when he looked around the reception area, he spotted a sight that brought his blood to a boil.
Jane and Jason were all cozy with each other and not being able to take the sight, he walked up to them but was stopped by some security men.
“Jason,” he growled in anger.
"What do you want you fool? You aren’t getting your job back, I got someone competent enough to replace you” Jason taunts while Jane and a few employees that heard his comment, laughed at Scot.
"Jason, I will fire you from this company," Scot yelled not able to contain his anger.
Jason and everyone else laughed at Scot's statement. They all thought he was a crazy clown. Jason immediately directed the security guards to beat and kick Scot out of the workplace.
The security guards wrestled Scot to the ground, but Scot fought back while Jason and everyone else made fun of him.
"Throw him out!" Jane yelled.
Scot protested again as the security guards bundled him.
"I will sack all of you soon," Scot yelled angrily at the security guards but his words were not taken seriously because they all saw him as hopeless and demented.
"How can you sack us when you are jobless?" one of the security guards inquired mockingly and that brought almost all the staffs to a laughing fits as they mocked Scot even more.

Scot walked into a fancy store after leaving his father's workplace. Everyone looked at him oddly as he stepped into the shop because of how harsh he appeared.

Scot was given a snide glance by the lady who looked like she didn’t want to attend to him but she came from behind the counter and stood in front of him."You need to leave now sir."

The bell above the boutique’s entrance chimed as Scot walked in, the sound echoing in the luxurious, marble-floored showroom. His entrance had been less than dignified, his earlier humiliation still fresh in his mind. Despite the situation, he was determined to make a statement, to reclaim a fragment of his shattered self-respect. The store was a sanctuary of high fashion and opulence, with every inch meticulously curated to reflect sophistication. But today, the elegance of the space did little to soothe Scot’s wounded pride. The boutique manager, a middle-aged man with a silver streak in his neatly combed hair, approached Scot with an anxious expression. His suit, though expensive, seemed to constrict with the gravity of the situation. "Mr. Frankenstein," he began, his tone laced with an earnestness that cut through the tension, "I’d like to extend my sincerest apologies for the behavior of my staff earlier. It was entirely unacceptable." Scot looked up, surprised by the manager'

It's already a week in Scot's new found life. Scot sat in his office, the silence of the room broken only by the soft feeling of the air conditioning. His desk was cluttered with papers and documents that seemed to blur together in a chaotic mess. The weight of recent events felt palpable in the air, the betrayal from Jane hanging over him like a dark cloud. As he sifted through the piles of paperwork, his eyes fell on the email from Jane—a request for a meeting. The subject line was stark and simple: "Can We Talk?" He stared at the screen, his mind wrestling with a whirlwind of emotions. Anger, hurt, and confusion intertwined, creating a knot of unresolved feelings. After a long pause, he took a deep breath and clicked the reply button, grudgingly agreeing to meet in his office. Scot’s office, once a symbol of his power and success, now felt like a fortress—a sanctuary where he could shield himself from the chaos Jane had left behind. The walls were lined with awards and certificat

The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon as Scot pulled up to the sprawling estate he now called home. The grandeur of the property, with its manicured lawns and ornate architecture, was a stark contrast to the small, cluttered apartment he had occupied during the turmoil of his marriage. This was not just a change of address; it was a complete transformation of his life. Scot stepped out of his car, feeling a mix of anticipation and trepidation. The weight of recent months had been heavy, but today marked the start of a new chapter. The estate was a gift from his father—a gesture of support and an acknowledgment of Scot’s potential. It was a symbol of the fresh start he so desperately needed. Inside the mansion, the air was filled with the aroma of fresh coffee and pastries.

Scot sat in his office, staring at the divorce papers on his desk. The elegant script on the cover page seemed to mock him, a stark reminder of the life he was about to leave behind. The room was silent except for the soft hum of the air conditioning, but the tension was palpable, weighing heavily on his shoulders. He took a deep breath and picked up his pen, his hand trembling slightly as he hovered over the dotted line. For a moment, Scot hesitated. He had spent years building a life with Jane, investing time, energy, and emotion into their marriage. But those days felt like a distant memory now, overshadowed by betrayal and heartache. His mind flashed back to the boutique, to the humiliation he’d felt, to Jane’s cold eyes when she had flaunted her infidelity. The anger that had simmered beneath the surface for so long bubbled up, and with a determined flick of his wrist, he signed his name. It was done. There was no turning back now. As he set the pen down, the door to his offic

The soft evening light filtered through the large windows of Scot’s house, casting a warm glow over the room.

The dark chapter of Jane’s interference was behind them now, and tonight was all about new beginnings. Scot stood by the bar, glancing around the room, taking in the smiles of his employees and the people who had stood by him through all the chaos. His father, Mr. Donald Frankenstein, sat at the head of the large dining table, engaging in a conversation with Scot’s lawyer, Richard. Mia, looking radiant and healthier with each passing day, was mingling with Linda and a few others from the PR team.

The soft hum of the hospital filled the quiet room as Scot sat beside Mia’s bed, his hand gently resting on hers. The faint bruises on her face had started to fade, but the emotional weight of what had happened lingered between them. Mia was set to be discharged that evening, but the tension of the last few days hung heavily in the air. Scot’s mind churned with thoughts of Jane and everything that had unfolded since the attack. “I still can’t believe it’s over,” Mia whispered, her voice soft but steady. Scot nodded, his eyes clouded with worry. “I can’t either. But I’m just glad you’re okay.” The door to the room opened, and the nurse walked in with a warm smile. “You’re all set, Mia. Just sign these discharge papers, and you’ll be free to go.” Mia thanked the nurse, her hand shaking slightly as she signed her name. Scot helped her gather her things, but there was an unspoken tension between them. The news of Jane’s arrest had spread across the city, and Scot knew that the consequ

Her plans had crumbled, and Scot’s inevitable retribution loomed large in her thoughts.She packed her belongings with an urgency born of desperation.

She had hoped to leave before anyone could catch her, but as she zipped up her suitcase, a sudden knock at the door made her jump.Jane froze, her breath caught in her throat.

The past few weeks had been relatively calm, but he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. His thoughts drifted to Mia, wondering what she was doing, but he brushed it off, assuming she was at work or on her way home.Just as he was about to turn his attention back to his computer, his phone rang. Scot barely glanced at the screen before answering, expecting it to be his assistant with some minor office matter.“Hello, Scot Frankenstein speaking.”“Mr. Frankenstein, this is Dr. Williams from St. Matthew’s Hospital. You need to come quickly—Mia has been admitted. She’s... she’s been shot.”For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Scot’s entire body froze, the words echoing in his mind like a nightmare he couldn’t wake from. His heartbeat hammered in his ears, and the room spun around him.“What? What did you say?” His voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper.“Mi

The sunlight barely crept through the curtains of Scot’s room as his phone buzzed on the nightstand. Scot groaned, reaching over to grab it, his eyes squinting against the morning light. It was a call from his assistant, Linda. Normally, she would never call this early unless something serious was happening.He sat up quickly, his heart already racing. "Linda? What’s going on?" Scot asked, his voice thick with sleep."Scot, I’m so sorry to bother you this early, but we have a serious situation. A major client has expressed concern about pulling their contract due to the rumors circulating. We’ve had multiple inquiries from other clients too. It’s not looking good," Linda said, her voice fraught with tension.Scot’s heart sank.

Scot drove through the quiet, tree-lined streets of the suburban neighborhood, each turn and curve bringing him closer to Jane's mother's house. The serene environment contrasted sharply with the turmoil that had defined his recent weeks. Jane’s behavior had spiraled to a level that made him uneasy, and he hoped that speaking with her mother might offer a glimmer of hope.Arriving at the modest, yet well-kept house, Scot took a deep breath before stepping out of the car.
