Matteo just couldn't escape being disgraced. Jason might have been easygoing but the Grand Patriarch was not about to take any shit when it was being thrown at his family. Don't you just love a powerful man with a heart? The best of the grand patriarch is about to be revealed. Drop your comments and opinions, dear reader. You are highly appreciated.
“What is going on here?” Jason asked when he got to Kalamaro mansion and he met the normally calm Mrs Sloane waiting for him outside, wringing her hands as she paced. She rushed forward as Jason came out of his car and handed the key to one of the men to park the car in its rightful position.“Oh, it is a good thing that you are back, sir. You are welcome” her wedges plopping on the asphalt, she halted at a respectable distance away from Jason, worry evident on her face.“What is the issue?” he asked again.“It is that new maid, the one you introduced, sir”“Why is everyone talking about that girl today?” Jason said in anger “Are you tired of your job now, Mrs Sloane?” his anger cut sharp like a jagged edge towards the middle-aged woman and she swallowed before continuing what she had to say. Mrs Sloane had always seen an amiable look on the new lord of Kalamaro and a smile from time to time. She wondered who angered him so and prayed that she was not about to lose her well-paying jo
“Why are you shouting at me?! I am not the one pressurizing you, am I?” Sophia shouted, then in her customary damsel in distress display, she made her lips tremble slightly. Her doe eyes shimmered with tears as she made her voice syrupy. “Do you know how much pressure I am going through as well, love? How much scorn do I have to endure from everyone? They are calling me the ghoul bride! Have you seen the tabloids?”She flicked back the tail of her long, shimmery gown when she saw that Matteo had stopped pacing and turned her back on him, fully expecting him to come to her, of course.Matteo let out an infuriated sigh and his response surprised her “Pressure? Do you call that pressure? Do you know how much my father now detested me? Do you have any idea what I have lost? All because of you?”“Because of me?” she squealed as she turned back to him, her coy look forgotten as anger welled in her. Who did he think he was? The bastard. Did he think that he was even worthy of touching her?
Mateo banged the front door on his way out so hard that the sound resounded throughout the building.They were in the Eastwood residence of the Fitzgerald, where Matteo's men brought her after beating up the unfortunate maid. He had pampered her a lot as she complained over and over again about how she was mistreated in Jason’s residence. How she was made to do the work that was meant for a lowly maid. He hired a top-notch masseuse to help massage her callused hands, pampered her with the best of clothing and even hired a personal shopper for her to handle all her purchases as she had complained of not having the strength to go shopping. Whatever she demanded, she got with just a snap of her fingers.Matteo felt he at least had to oblige her for the fact that her wedding had been ruined. Their wedding, actually but it had not mattered much to him. He only did it to pacify her and because he could afford it. Plus the bonus of how it could help him gain more acceptance from his father.
Ceejay Techme Inc was situated in the upscale part of Dengal. Jason specifically chose that location because of its market value and the higher probability of having access to the right customers, the type he wanted to access.The company was on the ground level of a corporate four- story building that Jason combined money with some acquaintances to pay for, he met a couple of guys at a house party and during a beer-stoked conversation, they all realised that they have one thing in common - the talent it took to start a company but not enough finances.So they came up with a solution. To pool the money they intended to use for rent payment together to pay for down payment on the whole building. They were four of them. An architect, a dentist, a lawyer and Jason.Arrangements were made and even though it took them a bit over a month; they were able to get an affordable location that suited them all, made their down payment and focused on building their business as they worked out the
Matteo couldn’t believe his ears when his manager stumbled up the driveway of the Eastwood palatial estate. After sending Sonia on her way to a shopping spree as a reward for how he spoke to her the last time, he thought he was about to have a peaceful afternoon to himself.Sonia’s nagging was getting on his nerves, his father was blaming him for every little thing and accusing him of being the reason why their family name would be smudged.Ever since the wedding fiasco, his father, known for his short temper, had become even more so. He found faults with him and told him he better hope that everything died down or he would be disowned.Matteo did not want to believe it was possible but it seemed to him like his father, the mighty Patriarch of Fitzgerald’s family was afraid of something. Matteo was pissed that he had no idea of what it was, his father refused to tell him also but he didn’t stop sending barbed comments his way from time to time.On the other hand was Sonia, the once sw
“Yoh, what are you laughing at?” Silas tried to check what Jason was grinning at on his phone but the latter moved his phone back and danced out of reach.“Nothing that concerns you,” Jason said with a smile then grinned at the exaggerated hurt look on Silas’s face. His sweat-drenched face looked like that of an overworked factory worker.“What do you mean by it had nothing to do with me? No way! Are you hiding things from me now?” he held his hand to his heart like it was paining him.Jason laughed “Quit your drama. I am still not showing you” Jason turned around and shoot the ball in his hand straight through the hoop.“You heartless man” Silas groaned from the floor as he saw the ball sail through the hoop “I am dying here and you are still scoring one on me? Oh, oh my heart” he rolled over and the first spatter of rain plopped on his nose.“Aww, come on! Even mother nature is bullying me!” he said with an aggrieved face that had Jason laughing out loud.“I needed this” Jason thoug
Filled with indignation, Matteo got in his car with the anticipation of how he was going to bash someone quickening his blood. Nothing gave him as much joy as having someone reduced to rubble in his presence after all.Who was the idiot who dared piss off the Fitzgeralds? He wondered. He couldn’t think of anyone who would be dense enough in the whole of Dengal to take him on so it was only logical that the intruder had come from outside town. Still, whoever it was had made a huge mistake and he was about to pay dearly for his stupidity.Motorists were leaving the road and parking aside as they recognised Matteo’s sports car whizzed by followed by the unmarked cars of his bodyguards. Everyone knew that when the young Fitzgerald master was going driving at such a speed with more than one jeep containing his bodyguards; it could only mean one thing. Somebody was about to be crushed!They wondered who was so unfortunate to attract the fury of the young master and most of them were so happ
Matteo had enough of the insult and he thought it was high time he made the lady know, he had even fantasised about banging her a few minutes ago but now? Now, he would only make her pay.He started forward with an arrogant smile on his face, his hands spread apart “Listen, little lady…”“Little lady?” a man said as he came out of the company behind the woman, he gave her an amused look. “Did that prick just call you a little lady?”“Yeah, that would be me” the lady replied with a saccharine smile on her face. When the boss informed them about the possibility of this prick showing up to steer trouble, he forgot to add something else. The bastard was so hateful! Not only did he exude the creepy aura of a slimy brat, but his money also gave him enough shine to make him slick. Andrea hated men like that. This one in front of her ranked the highest in the number of most hated men in her book at the moment. Thankfully, the boss gave the reins over to her. She would do to this bastard what
