He watched as he vanished into thin air and he was left alone there. He wanted to get his grandfather to tell him the manager of the place so that he would be driven away instantly but he decided to keep cool.
He wanted to know what his ambition was, coming into his company.He stepped away from the place and walked gradually towards the massive gates that were made of rare gems, all glittering in the ray of the sun.The place was packed filled with a lot of people wanting to get into the company but there was a warden at the gateFrom what he was told, the warden was going to ask everyone their ambition in the company and if it was reason enough, he was going to let them in.He was pretty shocked by the fact even a simple security officer of the company was so expensively dressedFinally, he got to the Security and a search was carried out.He wasn't even worried that he was the owner of the company. Besides, he was like any other person.Since he was past visiting time, he was the only one left."You saw the ads right?" The guards inquired, staring right into his eyes."The ads?" He could not but inquire because he was beyond confused at that point.The guard farrowed as his face tightened into a frown almost immediately. "See Me. I have dealt with your kind for the past week, even after removing the ads about the cleaner job, you guys just keep flocking.""What exactly do you want?".A loud scoff escaped from his mouth and he broke into a dark cough almost immediately."A cleaning job? I am certainly not here to do that." He returned.The frown that was hanging on his face tightened even more. He thought that Henry was only using that as a way to get into the color and nothing other than that."So why are you here? And if you are here to waste my time, I am going to make sure that you pay for it." He gritted his teeth together while he continued to stare at Henry for any suspicious behavior."I came here to see the manager." He said and immediately he spat out the Words from his mouth, the guards burst out into laughter clutching hard to his stomach and stamping his foot on the floor.He looked up at Henry and was about to say something but again, he burst out into laughter again."I can't hold it." He laughed while Henry stood there already getting pissed off."And your car? Can I see the model that I am using too?" He Inquired.Come to think of it, there was no point telling the guards the car that he came here with because there was no way that he was going to believe his word for it since it was not anywhere close by."Why are you suddenly mute.""I didn't bring my car here. What's the big deal?" He frowned."Just say it, man. You don't have one." He laughed harder."Is this how you treat other people? Do you know how angry your boss is going to be if he finds me out here?"The brows of the guards farrowed once again and he burst out into laughter."I don't know whose manager you are talking about but mine is a lady so you better start moving along." He said."Shit!" He exclaimed in his head.His grandfather only told him that he was going to be seeing someone and he was told how he was going to meet with this person.In his words, the person was going to recognize him but how was he even going to get inside now?For a while, he was confused and he did not know what to do as random thoughts ran through his head."Why don't you just call your grandfather?" He heard a voice in his head.He brought out his phone slowly from his pocket and placed a call to his Grandfather but then he wasn't picking up the phoneThen it struck him that morning that he informed him that he was going to be in a very important meeting and his phone was on do not disturb mode."Now I am stranded.""You know what is unique about you? I have never met any other bum as determined as you are. But it's too bad that your determination did not even move you to do some investigation about the company that you are coming into." He laughed harder, mocking the hell out of him.He remembered that his driver was at the other end of the road but he forced himself to stay.Just then, he saw someone driving a car into the place, and the car was parked at the car park.A man in his mid-thirties brought out his expensive corporate shoes from the car first before the rest of his body proceeded out.He wore a classic shot and the scent of his fragrance was already reaching out to him even to the far point that he was standing.That was something that Henry hated so much. Such a high-level fragrance because there was always staring up at his stomach.The man walked to and shouted at the security officer."I guess that I am pretty late but I have an urgent appointment with the manager." He voiced out the words delicately from his mouth as though it was going to hurt him if he pushed it way too much."Oh, I see. Sure come in." He noted with a smile hanging on his face and parting open the door.Henry could not believe what he had just seen with his very own eyes as his jaw dropped, seeing the man walk in.His anger rose so badly as he got up from the bench that he was sitting on and he walked over to the security guard."What the hell do you think that you are doing? I came here before that man but you allowed him in. Leaving me out. Is that how things have been working here."This time, the guard was no longer laughing as his face twisted into a frown."Are you the one that is going to teach me my job? Just take a good look at yourself, are you even fit to see me?" He growledAt this point, Henry could feel his heart pounding hard against his chest and he was already gasping hard for breath."Look man, I am already tired of seeing your face here. So you better start moving along or I might have to go and get security.""The security? Do you want to get the security to chase me out of this place? I don't think that you realize who I am." He fired."Yeah. I do realize who you are. You are nothing but a cheap bum who is trying to lie his way into..." He was about to complete his statement but something stopped him from doing thisHe heard a strange voice from behind."What's going on here?" The delicate firm voice of a female finally screamed through like the sound of a musical instrument."Adam, why did you send that scammer to me?" She fired at him, digging her heels into the floor and walking into the place."I am sorry ma'am but he did look at it." He was already shivering with so much fear as cold sweat broke out from the corner of his face."I'm sorry about that." He apologized again."And who is this?" The lady inquired, turning over to Henry and immediately their eyes crossed paths, she seemed to have lost her breath and she was glued to the spot."I am sorry about him ma'am. He is nothing but a useless and worthless bum trying to get into the company but I am going to get rid of him right away." He raised his head slowly, about to walk away and get the security officer but then, Miss. Clara stopped him, Staring right into his eyes and gnashing her teeth."I want you to repeat what you just said. A useless and worthless bum ?" He frowned and he nodded her head."Yes ma'am. But.." he did not even get to complete his statement before a thick slap landed on his face."How dare you. You fool." She growled at him and he clutched to his aching face, totally confused.Miss Clara pulled away from him almost immediately and walked down to him."I'm deeply sorry sir and speechless at the same time." She fell on her knees to apologize to him, knowing way too well what his grandfather could do to her if he found out anything about it.Her heart was racing, hitting the fence of its caves while she looked down without daring to steal a glanc
Clara Adams? Henry inquired.Yes good sir, I'm the manager of this car ranch, she said with a swift smile.Let me quickly show you to your office, she said and walked out, and Henry followed her gently.Here is your office Mr. Henry. I sincerely want to apologize for the scene that transpired downstairs. That will never happen again.It better not Clara … .it better not, he said with a weird smile.I believe everything will go well from here on out?she asked, striking an expectant gaze.It should be Clara. You will have to earn my respect because you lost it in seconds of our meeting, he said and went to sit on his chair.Have a seat, Clara, he said with a smile.Now, I need to let you know that I am a very friendly and free spirited young man. I see faults in people and I don't judge them far too fast. I lean close to see where that fault is coming from and just by doing that I rectify that fault.Belittling people is the least thing on my list and if you want to work here with me as
Holy shit!!! Henry screamed.They hit the tree so badly that Henry lost cautiousness.Amidst the chaos and flames on the deserted highway, Henry woke up with a little tear on his arm.He coughed and managed to get out of the car. He beckoned to the driver, and he woke up, his eyes wide open in shock.Sorry, master he went on one knee, I am sorry he said, limping towards Henry.It is fine, let's get ourselves out of this place, the car isn't safe…they crossed to the other side of the road.After waving for minutes, a car stopped.I'll be happy to help a young lady in the front seat offered.Thank you, kind, Miss Henry said, they got in, and the driver was bleeding profusely.They got to the hospital after a thirty-minute drive and Henry and the driver were admitted.The news soon reached the grandfather, and he arrived at the hospital with Henry's foster mom, who he met on his way to the hospital.Henry…hey … . Henry..his mom called with a crying face, she asked the nurse why isn't he s
At the hospital, “ Grandpa, please don't leave me alone.” Henry said when he saw his grandfather lying on the bed with various wires hooked to his veins. “ Young master! You can't be in here.” A nurse said and stared at him aghast. The doctor expressly said that grandfather should be left alone. “ You aren't going to tell me what to do.” Henry shouted at her. “ I need to be with my grandfather at this time!” He snapped and the nurse recoiled. She didn't know that he could be this angry. Mrs. Clara ran into the room, "Oh my goodness, I came as soon as I heard. I'm so sorry about this.” She said. “ Where's the doctor?” Henry replied and on cue, a short middle-aged man walked in with a stethoscope on his shoulders signifying his status. “Mr. Henry, you shouldn't be in here.” He said in a challenging tone, and Henry looked at him with contempt in his eyes. How dare they tell him not to visit his only family left? “ What happened to my grandfather?” He replied instead. He was less co
Grandfather!" Henry exclaimed and rushed to his bed." I'm happy to see you awake." He refrained from hugging him tightly. " It's good to be awake, son. They tried to kill me." Grandpa said and Henry's eyes widened. How did he know? "You knew?" He inquired and the grandpa nodded. "My entire system got destroyed immediately after I finished drinking coffee this morning. I was unable to move my legs." He said. " Why didn't you call me immediately?" Henry queried. He would have arrived faster." Well, I couldn't reach my bedside table, and my speech was affected. All thanks to a maid who came to check up on me and found me shaking." He replied. Henry rubbed a hand over his face, he didn't want to imagine what could have happened if the maid didn't find him when she did. "I'm grateful that you are alive. Meet Grin." He introduced him to his grandfather and face palmed internally later when he remembered that his grandpa knew everyone in his office. "I know him." He replied as Grin gav
" I don't want a lady in my life." Henry repeated when his grandfather called him the next day to inform him of a blind date. "Well, l don't care. You need to show up tonight. You can't stand her up." He said and Henry couldn't object. " Grandfather, you should have asked if I wanted to see her. I am quite busy with work."Henry replied politely. " Can't we reschedule? I have a meeting with the Russian investors." He replied. "I know that, she will arrive after the meeting." He said and Henry groaned. He should have known that Grandpa wouldn't be one step ahead of him. Did anything ever pass him by? "What time is this date scheduled for?" Henry asked, he guessed he had no choice. "Around Eight p.m. You should be done with your meeting. Please dress well. You need to be presentable." "Yes, sir." Henry replied. They exchanged a few pleasantries before he hung up the call. The door opened and Grin walked into Henry's office and he looked up."Sorry to disturb you, sir. You have a m
Henry was a bit shaken after the meeting with Mr. Jang. What was it about him that made everyone want him to be their son-in-law? First, it was his grandfather, now his client. "I'll await your response, son." Mr Jang said after he refused to respond. What would it take them to understand that he didn't want to be in a relationship, at least not anytime soon? Grin walked into his office with his laptop, "Sir, the Russian investors have asked for a reschedule of the appointment. They are deeply sorry to cancel on you." He said. Henry raised his head and sighed, it was a blessing in disguise because he was feeling fatigued and still had a swarm of emails to attend to. "When do they plan on having the meeting?" He asked. "Next week, Tuesday." "Great, tell them it's fine." Henry said and Grin went to work. It was almost three hours later when he heard his phone ring. "Hello." "Hello, love. I've missed you so much." Rose's soft voice filtered through the speaker. It was amazing tha
My name is Aubrey, as you already know– I am a lady who loves sightseeing and exploring the world. I model part-time." She said. " Hmmm, that's good to hear. Tell me more." He probed and watched her hair glisten under the light which created a halo around her.Aubrey chuckled, this was the first man who sounded invested in her without asking for her father's name. Probably because he was also wealthy but that didn't stop her previous suitors. "'I am just a lady who enjoys being around people and working." She replied and Henry nodded. " What are your hobbies?" He asked further because he noticed that Aubrey sounded a little shy and he wondered why. He was intrigued by her smile and everything she did."I enjoy skating and visiting the movie theater when I can." She replied and adjusted some strands which slipped out of their curves. "That's great." He replied. He had expected her to mention shopping due to her job. Is that all you enjoy doing?" He asked and she nodded. The waiter
A year After."What is going on?" He inquired worriedly when he saw Clara bent over a toilet seat, heaving her lungs out. Panic settled inside him and he patted her back softly. What can I get you?" He asked her and she sat on the tiles."I feel queasy." She said and before she could finish talking, she puked again inside the toilet. "Please get me a tissue." She croaked and stretched her hand backward. That was what she needed.Henry sighed softly as he wiped her mouth for her. "You need to see a doctor, this cannot be ordinary flu." He said and she rinsed her mouth."I think so too. I don't know what is happening to me but I don't feel well inside of me." Like a lightbulb, an idea flashed into his head and he stared at her with wide eyes, and she stared at him strangely." what?" "Are you pregnant?" "What?" She repeated and Henry placed a hand on her shoulders. " Have you been feeling weak? Tenderness in the boobs? Diarrhea and constant headache?" He inquired." Yeah?""I think..
The flight back to Italy was very quick, maybe it was due to the fact that they didn't have anything bothering them anymore, no need to look over their shoulder for every little matter. Henry was very elated to see the soils of Italy.It made him appreciate freedom. He never knew that he was living like a king even when he was poor but with the small taste of money and the problems that accompanied it, he was able to appreciate being free.Clara rested her head on his shoulder as she stared at the soil. It was good to go home. " How do you feel?" She inquired from him and he smiled at her."I feel good, great, even. Who would have thought that I would miss this place? There was a time I was crazy about leaving the country, now that I know better I know that I was foolish at that time. What the hell was I even thinking at that period? He wondered aloud.Clara giggled beside him, it was amazing how he was able to see things from a grander scope. "I think there are several reasons that w
Henry sank to his feet instantly and Clara rushed to hug him. She cried into his shoulders, until his clothes began to get wet. " I'm sorry,I shouldn't be doing this. I don't know what is wrong with me." She chuckled while trying to wipe the tears off her face.Henry rose slowly and held her up. It wasn't so great of an event. She was bawling her eyes out. " Hey, it's okay, I'm free now. You don't need to cry." He said, trying to pacify her and she nodded softly.She moved away so that she could allow the grandfather and son to bond comfortably. Stopping them was not the best thing that she could do because she was feeling a certain type of way. His gaze fell upon his grandfather and he didn't know when he began to weep gently. It was almost as though he was feeling weak and at the same time unable to breathe. "I'm so happy to see you son." He said and held him very close to himself. "Me too, Pops." He said and held him close. His pops had been there for him for a very long time an
The court room went silent and Henry stared at the man who just came to lie without a tangible reason. His eyes rested on him and he tried to figure out where he knew him from to no avail . It was as though the man had harbored grievances against him and sought the perfect time to unleash his vengeance. He was stupefied." I take objection to that statement. If there's CCTV footage, produce it so that we can all watch it." Henry's lawyer said and he stared at the wicked man who was standing before him. it was obvious that he was just trying to ruin Henry's life."I came with proof if that's what you are asking for." He said confidently and Henry was pissed beyond measure. He didn't know this man from Adam but he was hell bent on tarnishing his image. " Lets have it." The judge called again and it was given to him. The assistant slotted it in and connected it to the projector and they all watched the scene."Pause it there." The judge said and adjusted his glasses." A hush fell ove
After spending a great deal of time trying to make sure that there was no need to continue staying in the hospital, they went to court. Pops pulled some strings on some of his old people who knew what was going on, he was probably thinking about what would have happened if he didn't have such a strong backbone. He didn't even want to imagine it because it would be so brutal. Anyway, it was going to be great if he could actually do without the court order Alas, there was no one above the law. He stood before the judge at the supreme court with his lawyer in front of him. The complainant also stood at the opposite dock. It was a woman, she was claiming that her husband was killed."Mr. Henry, What do you have to say concerning the defendant's claim?" Henry looked at the judge and the sobbing woman. As much as he pitied her, he couldn't help but feel that she was doing a tad bit too much. "I didn't kill her husband, my honor. It was out of self defense. He tried to kill me, whoever has
*******Chapter 187Clara didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before placing a hand over her mouth, this was not the news that she wanted to hear. It was heartbreaking and at the same time she had to maintain a good front because Pops was in the room, staring at her. "That's great to hear. I thought that he was actually harmed. It's good to hear that he's well. Thank you Caine." She mustered a fake smile and Caine stared at his phone as if there was an alien living in it. Wasn't she the person who was angry a few minutes ago that things were hidden away from her? Yet she was telling him thank you. "Good. I'll talk to you later." He said and she nodded before hanging up abruptly and turned to see Pops staring at her. He wasn't talking at the moment but his eyes spoke volumes. He was probably thinking about what was happening to his grandson."Pops, what would you like to eat?" She asked him as she moved closer to his bed to stroke his hands.He shook his head slightly and she
Chapter 186George agreed without arguing one bit as he was drooped at the end of the road, he didn't waste any more time in making sure that there was anything holding him back as he bundled down the pavement and flagged down a cab. He was sure that they would take him to his doorstep. All he needed was to take a bath first then right after he could now start thinking about other things but for now, he would have preferred just staying away and waiting till there was nothing else to do. "That man is scarred. I don't think we should have let him go just like that. We know that he needed the money. He was just acting so that it didn't seem that way." Fred spoke from the rearview mirror.Caine nodded in agreement. He had other plans for the man but from experience he had known better than to allow anyone to come close to the family because it could be very frustrating if the person didn't know what was going on. It was more of a preservation. No one wanted to be involved with people th
Chapter 185Caine and Fred came bursting through the door. " Everyone raise your hands above your heads." Caine ordered as he and Fred came bursting into the living room.Everyone stared at them as if they were aliens speaking gibberish. "Who is he?" Liam asked as his eyes casually strolled from the intruders to Henry.Henry sighed and balled his fists which were already losing sensitivity due to the excessive amount of blood. "Don't go all macho on him. You can call him my brother from another mother, he's been there even from the beginning of this issue." Liam's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he stared at the man in front of him. He couldn't remember where he knew him from but from the way he was behaving he knew that he was someone of great importance.Caine glanced at Fred before his eyes swung toward Liam and Ryan. This was somewhat a complicated issue because if it was left to him, he would have locked this man up. But with the situation at hand. It sounded unwise because this ma
Chapter 184Henry didn't waste time in locating the person who fired the shots. It was no one but Jess and he was shocked to his bone that she could even attempt to save them."I love you baby!" Liam jumped up immediately and pulled the trigger at Ryan causing him to stumble and almost hit the ground.George, sensing potential freedom, rose from his position and bundled towards Ryan who was rubbing his sore legs. It was a double bullet. He didn't wait till he recovered before falling atop him. Ryan was utterly shocked when he saw that the tables had turned. "Get off me, you oaf." He grunted from beneath George and tried to shake him off but found it hard to do that so he bit him.George, who was stubborn, persisted in making sure that he didn't leave.Henry also joined the party by knocking the gun out of his hands. Ryan was pretty helpless at this point, he bit George on the hand again, this time almost removing the chunk of flesh that surrounded his hand but George made sure that h
