Sarah looked around the room in confusion on hearing her name. Reality was dawning on her. Had they all been pawning her without her knowledge?"What is he talking about?" She asked Theodore with a furious glare."Father, you think it is wise to shout out our sins then, don't you? Go ahead then. Why don't you tell Sarah that the only reason Causey is out for her is because you promised to hand her over to him as a price." Theodore revealed."What??" Sarah uttered in shock.Mrs Brown covered her face with her hands out of shame." Yes! And while you are at it, why don't you also tell her the real reason we are all in this broken mess with you? Why don't you tell her how you gambled all our finances on a one-chance business deal with Causey that turned out to be illegal? Why don't you tell her how you pawned off our properties, documents, bank cards, and even our Company? And when you did not have those anymore, you offered her hand in marriage to Peter Causey...""That was your doing!
James woke up the next morning with His head aching. He got up with a start at the sight of Viola in his bed with her clothes on.She turned around with a smile on her face and watched him look her over with horror seated in his eyes."Oh my goodness!" She got up with a start as well. " Want happened?" She exclaimed, screaming in displeasure."Did we...?" She asked him, but James was just as confused. He could not remember what had happened to him after they had played some. games and started drinking."I don't know. I thought... We were..." He stammered."Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" Viola panicked."Oh no no, come on, Viola. Please, don't panic. I don't think anything really happened between us. I mean if it did, you... You wouldn't still be dressed, would you?" He asked her."I wouldn't. Oh my goodness, my... My... I'm sorry. Uh, maybe you are right. Nothing happened between us." She said looking at him through the side eyes. Confusion equally laced James' face and he was not s
The door to Anna's office opened up and the young man walked in. He was tall, handsome and looked alor like James would have if he was a certain age.She smiled at him, slightly weirded out by the slight resemblance he had to the Johnsons. She smiled at him, and got up to welcome him."Mr. Jericho, am I right?" She asked him and he nodded."Yes, and you must be Anna. It is nice to meet you. So, you work for the Johnsons." He said to her."I manage their personal assets. So, yes. Anyway, I can't assume you are here at the bank to speak about the Johnsons, are you?" She asked him and he shrugged."Would that be a bad thing? I mean you would be the right person to answer any questions that u would have in that regard, wouldn't you?" Mr. Jericho asked her.There was a shine in his bright blue eyes as he stared at her.Anna regarded him closely."Mr. Jericho. I appreciate the esteemed assumption but it is highly surprising why you would think that i would be the perfect person to answer yo
"Anna! I need a favour from you, please!" James said over the phone as soon as the soldiers had disbanded."Okay, just relax. I... Need to talk to you as well. So, why don't we meet at the Coffee shop on Central Park?" Anna suggested."Alright." James agreed.The coffee shop was a wide, yellow building with a white sheet roof. Anna sat at one of the tables outside which were shaded by rainbow coloured umbrellas.She wore a brown shirt and black pants, along with a brown Christian Dior shade.James got out of his car and walked towards the umbrella under which Anna sat."Thanks for showing up on such short notice, Anna." James said to her."It is a beneficial meeting and I missed break fast this morning. Tell me, what is the problem?" Anna asked him."You first. What is the problem? What did you want to speak to me about?" He asked her"Okay. So, there is this new investor who spoke to me over the phone the other day I was handling your schedule at the Company. I picked out his proposa
"That girl is my wife!" James bellowed angrily."Well, I guess that is your family matters then. Quite needless that I should involve myself in it." Mr. Johnson replied, propping his hands on the wide table that was his work desk."You really have no idea, do you? I signed the inheritance documents already. I have rights to those assets and the only reason I am asking is because you have the security passes to the vaults." James said to him.Mr. Gregory regarded him sternly. His left eyebrow was raised just a fraction above the right one. He let out a scoff."You are relentless James, and it amazes me. How can a soon-to-be General of the United States Military be dying for a girl who has absolutely no regard for him? Or do you realize that you have prestige and honor to uphold!" Mr. Gregory scolded him."Why don't you understand that she is the woman I love? I know you lack a heart grandfather, but at least respect my resolve and let me do what I wish to do." James insisted."You know
The three cars were intercepted at the traffic light.Williams got out of his red Acura TSX angrily, at the same time the other men got out of the cars which intercepted his path."Who the hell are you?? What the hell do you want?? I will give you the count of there to get your dirty, old edition run-down vehicles out of my path right now!" Williams yelled at them.The men ignored him and stood guard beside their car. One of them walked round to the second car and opened the back door, making way for Causey to step down.Williams raised his chin in acknowledgment when he saw Causey step out of the car.Peter Causey walked up to him casually. Taking his time to saunter towards Williams."Well well well. Look who came nesting at the wrong path. Do you not realize that there are jurisdictions to this thing?" Causey said smugly."What is the problem now, Causey? Couldn't sleep? Have I been bothering your night's rest?" Williams mocked."You really think you are important, don't you?" Caus
Sarah stormed into her apartment room and tossed her phone on the bed angrily, as tears wracked her entire body. Williams had just sent her a message telling her that the wedding planner would be coming visiting the next day.Their wedding had been fixed for the twenty second of the next month. She let out an angry shriek at the exact moment the room door opened and shut. James walked into the room to find her sitted on the bed heaving and crying.He walked up to her and held her shoulder. "Hey, what is going on? Why are you crying?" He asked her but she turned away from him.James was relentless, He shifted positions and sat in front of her."Sarah, what is going on? Why aren't you speaking to me? What is wrong?!" He yelled out but she wiped her eyes and looked up at him."Just leave me alone, James. Go away." She said again, refusing to speak to him."I won't leave you like this. Something happened and I need to know what it was. You can't keep pushing me away and pretending that yo
He turned around in bed and hugged the woman beside him, planting a gentle kiss on her cheeks."You always come home stressed and this is the first time you and I have had to spend time together as a family." The woman he had kissed said with a smile."Hey, I am always out serving my country, so that you and the kids could both have a great life and be safe from the trouble outside."Still, I need you here often. We need you here. Sometimes I wonder if you remember that we are expecting a baby. Bernard, I want you to always remember that we are your first priority before anything else. Else, we should not have spent thirteen years together." The woman replied.Their room was dimly lit by a faint yellow, crystal night lamp.The dark blue well visible from the illumination of the light."Well, this is the one night I get to spend with you and you have my full attention..." He was barely done speaking before his phone began to ring.The heavily pregnant woman let out a sigh and turned aw
