The dinner was happening tonight and Jackson was happy, he felt self content seeing as he had been able to come up with such a grand idea on such short notice.He knew that to make every of his plans happen, he would have to go ahead with the dinner and to his surprise, his father the chairman had done nothing to stop him with every activity he had been overseeing in the mansion to ensure the success of this dinner.Instead, the old man had said nothing. He only kept quiet, not uttering a word. Somewhere deep in Jackson's heart, he knew that his father was not going to oppose what he had in mind and would in fact give him the chance to go ahead with it.After all, it had been a very long time since the Imperial family got to have dinner like this. And he had taken it upon himself to make this one grand and more memorable. He wanted it to be one they would forever remember in their hearts." Sir, everything is prepared and ready just as you wanted" one of the servants of the house came
Minutes after, Leo Dane, the personal assistant to the chairman himself walked into the dinner hall. He greeted Jackson and the chairman and everyone else before taking his seat.He had not wanted to attend but since Jackson had personally sent an invite, he decided to attend. As the dinner went on, Jackson's attention was on the door the entire time.While the others ate and were merry, with the scent of the rich wine filling the atmosphere and the clinking of glasses could be heard, he kept staring at the door all because of one reason.Micheal hadn't shown his face at the dinner.'What Impudence?' he thought angrily within himself." I'm totally surprised that the bastard wouldn't show his face today" Melissa whispered to Peter who was seated beside her." What do I care about?" Peter said with an evident indifference. He couldn't care less about Micheal being an ass. He just wanted to look for a means to network with other Imperials." So, father.." Pearl began. She turned her at
The entire guests were left in shock at the event that transpired between the host and the young gentleman who had just walked in."I would not tolerate you harassing my wife" Micheal told this to Jackson as a warning after he'd hit him for manhandling his wife.He could tolerate every one of his insults but not that. He could not just sit back and watch him treat her anyhow.Jackson stood up from his fallen position, his fists clenched in anger at the embarrassment he had been through. Spitting on the ground, he fumed angry after he had noticed the metallic taste in his mouth. Micheal's punch had hit him hard by the lip, leaving it injured.How could his own guest come to disgrace him and hit him in his house? Not only that, he had to get punched in the presence of every one of the Imperials who had always held him in high esteem.Melissa adjusted herself comfortably on her seat as she watched the ongoing drama. She could not help but wear a satisfied smirk on her face while every o
After the dinner had passed, Jackson had not been able to show his face to the public. He had made sure not to show his face before his father or to visit the Imperial mansion. The announcement that had been made by the chairman still got him really mad and angry.He could not even show his face before the other family members. He felt totally embarrassed and disgraced.But he had a plan, nevertheless. He was not going to give up without letting on a fight. He had requested a meeting with the Andersons. Peter and his wife. They were after all the only people who still understood his plight and dilemma.Not only that, they had shown themselves to be great partners and allies who shared the same goal with him. The one goal that he was going to give his all to achieve. One that had been in his mind before Micheal even showed his face."Good morning Mr. Imperial Jackson" Peter greeted him the moment he and his wife arrived.They had just gotten to the restaurant, the same venue that J
"Master, are you certain that's it okay for you to leave to this place that is being mentioned?" Morgan asked his boss, Micheal.The young man was pacing around his office that evening. They had finished quite late with the activities at work because of the extensive board meetings they had.This caused him to spend extra hours at the company with his personal assistant by his side.He had earlier sent a text message to his wife back at home that he would return home late before the cryptic text message got into his phone.Someone had sent a message of utmost concern to him and no matter how much he tried to, he could not dismiss this particular message.He had no idea who the sender was or how he or she had gotten access to such a vital information as the one they were willing to share with him. But, a part of him was curious.This could be a means for him to get answers to all of those questions that had been bothering him all this while.Questions he kept asking with no one to prov
"I knew it, those jerks are really trying hard to get their hands smeared. I am not surprised that they are trying to get back at us." Alegria said to Micheal the moment the unknown lady left the hotel room in a hurry.She was angry that both she and her husband had been played. To think that they tried to set both of them up. How stupid of them to think that the game they were trying to play at them would work.As planned, the lady informed them about the person that sent her after she was paid. She had no choice but to succumb after the money was placed before her.The sight of it was tempting and besides, had she not even gotten herself involved in the shameful act of seduction in the first place because of her urgent need for money."I was sent by the Andersons to seduce you" the words she said kept playing in Micheal's ears even after she had left.He had been tricked to come out to the hotel only for him to be met by a total stranger who was stark naked.'What was Melissa and
Micheal had not expected it when the cops knocked on the gate of his house that evening.The men in uniform after they had been allowed to come inside the house states their reason for coming. It was a very shocking reason because both Micheal and Alegria were not expecting it.None of them saw it coming."Mr. Micheal Imperial, you are hereby arrested for the act of non-consensual sexual assault upon a Miss known as Rebecca Will." One of the police officer said to him."Wait! What? What do you mean? Non-consensual assault?" Micheal asked, the shock evident on his face. What were the cops saying and what was that supposed to mean? 'This must be a joke.' he thought as he and Alegria exchanged astonished glances at the turn out of event."We got a report from an anonymous person who reported you. The victim also gave her statement." The police officer explained as he remembered the time the woman had come to the police station to shed tears and demand justice for herself."I don't unde
The accusations against Micheal Imperial had escalated to a court case and he had to undergo trail from the judge. He was to attend the hearing in a few days.Old Albert Imperial had also used every of his means and power to make sure the news didn't spread across the media. He knew how much the media would try to make the issue more complicated than it already was and he was more than prepared to help his grandson get out of the mess he was lured in."I know you are innocent and this people just want to give you a bad image" Albert told his son after he visited him."All of these will be cleared before the next board meeting holds." He assured him. On the day for the hearing in court, Micheal went together with his wife and father-in-law who were more than willing to show him their support.On his way inside the courtroom together with his wife that morning, they met Melissa and Peter too. Micheal was not totally surprised, they were his sworn enemies and were present only because t
