" Mr. Imperial sir, I have spoken to Mr. Anderson just as you instructed" Joyce, the personal secretary to Micheal informed him the moment she dropped the telephone." I told him about the condition he has to fulfill if he's to get an audience with the company" she added while adjusting her glasses." Thank you very much, miss…? I never caught your name." Micheal stated." Joyce, sir"" Alright, Miss Joyce. Thanks." He muttered. " Are there any other activities on my schedule for the day that I need to know about?"" Urm…I think, you're done with almost all of them, except…" Joyce paused to get a good glance at the file in her hands." You are free for the day except, you still need to meet with the chairman. We're going to set a meeting up for that very soon" she informed him.A meeting with the Chairman. Old Albert Imperial was yet to meet him in person and he was certain that the man could not wait to see him." Is that meeting going to happen today?" Micheal asked." No, not toda
" Good morning young master" Morgan greeted Micheal the moment he sighted the gentleman walking out of the gates of the mansion he was currently living in.His grandfather had had the servants prepare a grand space for his grandson to stay ever since his arrival. And, after so much persuasion and effort put in by Alegria and Morgan to convince him to come back to his real position, Micheal finally decided that he was going to stay in the house that had been prepared for him. It was one of the many properties that the Imperials owned in the city asides many others that were spread across neighboring cities and towns.How one family could grow so big and large overtime was still a marvel to many. Any company or industry that wanted to excel used the Imperial Holdings as a case study. Their tactics and strategies were worth imitating. But, no one could ever surpass them at ranking and maintaining the #1 place in the business industry." It's time to leave now, sir" Morgan informed hi
" And to what do we owe this pleasure? Why have you come to visit Mrs. Anderson?" Melissa heard the husky voice ask the moment she got into the palace sized living room of her parents mansion.She turned around to check out the person who had spoken. It was no one else but her annoying brother." What's the update with the Imperials? Was my 'dear' brother-in-law able to hit the jackpot?" He asked with a chuckle." Modrich, good morning. Where's our mother and our father?" She asked, walking closer to meet him." I need to see them. And I mean, right now!"" Really? And to tell them what?" Modrich scoffed. " To tell us all about your husband's failure at securing a simple deal with the Imperials?" He grumbled while fiddling with his cufflinks." Why didn't you tell me Peter couldn't do the job well?" He continued before taking a seat on the couch facing her directly. " I think I'm gonna take back all of my praises for him" he added while crossing his legs." What do you mean? We are t
" Peter! Peter!" Melissa yelled the moment she got home. She had been meaning to fly all the way home if it were possible. What she just heard couldn't be real, no it must be a dream. It was supposed to be a dream or a baseless rumor and she would have gladly accepted it at that only if she hadn't gotten the first hand information to confirm her fears.Throwing her heels off her feet in the most undignified manner to any corner she deem fit, she walked up to her husband whom she believed was supposed to be at the office in his father's company.Instead, he was seated by the alcohol rack in the living room that was directly opposite their bedroom.They had a line of alcohol arranged in the order of their price. Each strong liquor was stacked in the rack to be used anytime the couples felt like getting wasted. And to Melissa, today definitely felt like one of those days to her." Peter! I've been calling you for ages, didn't you get my calls? And, where the f**k is your phone?" She que
" Morgan, I would like you to help me prepare a list of very great places around the city that would be perfect for a date" Micheal asked Morgan, who was now working as his personal assistant. Morgan, once an agent for the Imperials security had now become a personal assistant to the chairman's grandson. Micheal wanted to work closely with him as he was a trusted ally." Right away sir, I would get them for you" Morgan responded with enthusiasm. He had heard of the new CEO's upcoming wedding and he was totally happy for him. Getting married to a powerful woman like Alegria Colwill was surely a perfect choice. It was going to be the perfect marriage to happen on earth as both families were powerful and respected. The wealthy state of Miss Alegria family wasn't even a condition to be counted as the Imperials had more than enough fortune to take care of themselves and their generations yet unborn. Even if the chairman's grandson had picked a maid of a lowly status as his bride, it was
Micheal stood in one of the jewelry sections at the shopping mall that cool Saturday evening. He was currently standing in the grounds of the 'Royal Shopping Centre'. This was a shopping center frequented by only the wealthy and posh. Not anyone could afford the expensive products sold in the mall and so only people of the upper class patronized them.It should be a culture worthy of note that anyone found strolling the grounds of the mall is considered crazily rich and wealthy. They would be noted as someone who had lots of cash to spend and throw around.Micheal watched with keen interest, various kinds of jewelry and ornaments that had several intricate designs on them arranged orderly in a glass. The mall's finest jewelry was glassed in. There was this particular jewelry that caught his attention. It was a necklace that glowed bright with an ornate and embellished pattern etched on it. It not only had a glowing pendant but also contained beautiful gemstones." Do you like it si
Melissa drove straight to her father's house that night after she had stormed out of the shopping mall. She was angry and totally irked at the scene that just played out before her.To think that a useless peasant in the form of a nobody like Micheal could suddenly grow wings all because of his upcoming marriage to a rich man's daughter. She was going to do all she could to make him pay, together with his fiancee." Good evening Melissa" Mrs Kingston, her mother greeted her daughter. " I trust you have news to share?" Her brother muttered. " Seeing as you have made frequenting our house your hobby. What about your husband?"Melissa threw him a cold glare before taking her seat on the couch beside her mother. " Last I remember, this place was also my house." She grumbled to Modrich whom she clearly wasn't in the mood to have a banter with." So, I can walk in whenever I like."" Tell me darling, what has gotten you confused and in a state of anger?" Her mother asked out of sheer conc
Wedding bells were ringing in the household of the Imperials, the preparations and arrangement for the marriage coming up between the long lost grandson of the Imperial family and the daughter of the Colwill household had commenced.Based on the chairman's orders, the news about the wedding was kept sealed. It was to be kept far away from the media, and the servants along with the workers at the house did their utmost best in keeping the secret from the ears of the outside world.Even other members of the Imperial Household didn't know about the wedding, let alone an outsider. And all of these were done solely to protect the chairman's grandson whose identity was still kept from the eye of the public.Many had no idea and did not know what happened years ago as regards Micheal's life being endangered as a young boy growing up before the watchful eyes of his parents. His parents death back then and their murderers still remained a mystery till now even though the media had claimed it
