"I'll be there as soon as possible, thank you." Estelle replied hastily when she received the call from the hospital that Emma was awake. It was the greatest news that she had had the privilege of hearing the past few weeks.

Antonio looked up from his desk and saw his sister rushing out of the office without any information. He reached for his phone and called one of the security guards. "make sure that you follow her duly. I don't want to hear any excuses of any form. Let me know what's happening." He instructed him and the man nodded.

His phone rang instantly and he hissed when he saw the caller. It was almost as though she didn't have a job to start calling him at all times. " What is the problem, Sophie?" He replied and she blinked at the harshness.

"Yes?"

"You aren't supposed to talk to me in that tone. You're not speaking to your subordinates."

Antonio rolled his eyes and held back his reply because he planned on making sure that he sent her a message that would make her sh

    Antonio walked into the company with a small smile on his face as he thinks of the money that he was going to make from the deal that he was about to make. He was already buying mansions in his mind and thinking about the things that he was going to get with the money.He didn't want anyone to stop him from achieving what he needed to do. "Get me the schedule of the day." He demanded and Joyce the receptionist gave it to him speedily. He was thinking about how to get the yacht that he wanted to purchase.."Sir, you have visitors waiting for you in the office." She responded and he raised his brow, not understanding why she was speaking this way. it was very tiring that all of them were acting like robots when they could be sharp. He was contemplating a clean sweep and leave only people who were ready for life so that he would be finally free from any problems."And they don't have a name?" he demanded.Estelle walked into the office too at the same time, she was just returning from th

    We are no longer interested in being partners with this company. You'll hear from our lawyers soon. In the meantime make sure that you get all my money back because you would be very surprised to see what I would do to you and I promise that I won't be nice to you at all. Oh my world, I'll make sure that I make your life a living hell." The leader threatened.Antonio didn't bother to say a word because he could read from her countenance that there was a real problem that one couldn't ascertain. It was a big issue that could lead to him losing everything he had planned for."I'll see you in your office, ma'am. We would definitely find a way around this."The woman turned when her hand touched the handle of the door marking his face. "I am not part of this mess, do the needful and do it fast." She told him, causing him to bob his head in agreement. Antonio barked at all the workers and they were annoyed about the fact that he was acting weirdly. "Tell me, what are you guys good for not

    Antonio sat down on his chair his entire head heating up. Everything he’s been working tirelessly for has begun to crumble right in front of him. He could feel his head aching as he grabbed it. He sighed and laid back on his chair trying to relax looking for a logical explanation to all that is happening.The man, that rich man, had rejected him outrightly and had even compared him to Leo. He heard the man’s voice echo in his head again. Why would they want Leo anymore, after what he’d done. They were supposed to like him now he was the good one, the one with the clean heart. He stood up and trotted into his bathroom and opened the tap, bending his head as the water rushed towards his head. He felt himself calm down a bit. There was always a solution to any problem and he would find a solution to this one. He stood in the same position, allowing the water to cool him down as he closed his eyes just breathing in and out before he completely lost it. While he was still there, he heard

    Sophie picked up her phone and dialed her lawyer's number. She's had enough of all this, she needed to get Ava from that silly girl as soon as possible. She needed to know her chance at doing this. This lawyer was supposed to be one of the best, so she called him to hear what he had to say. “Good afternoon,” she greeted the lawyer as soon as he picked up. Her voice was rather less arrogant and prideful like it usually was.“To what do I owe the honor of a call, ma’am,” the lawyer replied. Sophie sighs and then responds with a heavy voice that was urgent. She wanted the lawyer to feel how much importance what she was about to ask had on her. “I need to know how I can acquire Leonard’s kid from Emma, isn't there any legal loophole we can exploit?” She asked.The lawyer sighed. “Look, that is a no go area, I’d advise against it. Don't even try to get the child for yourself, at least for now,” the man advised.Sophie sighed. “You are supposed to be one of the very best, are you saying t

    Antonio was just arriving from the station when he heard his bell ring. Thinking that it was something very important, he picked up the receiver. "What's the issue, Joyce?" He replied.He had just spent a very huge sum of money trying to do damage control. He had plans of visiting his sister later to tell her that he knew all that she did to make him look like a bad person but she was going to know that he was a bigger person."You have a visitor sir." That word set him off. He didn't want to talk to anybody, he didn't want to say any word that would make him get angry though. " Who is that? I hope that you've not told them that I'm on seat." He replied warily.If they didn't come to his office at least there wouldn't be any problem of any kind but as it stood right now, there were a lot of things running through his mind and he didn't have the time to kiss any investors ass. If they didn't know what to do with their lives maybe they could just let it go. "No, sir." Are you sure?"

    Kelvin, after receiving the money, smiled happily. Oh, he had everything going all right for him. He had gotten his slice from the money and he was nothing but remorseful about it. If there was anything, he was happy that he was going to be spending the rest of his life in happiness and that nobody would have to dictate his movement anymore no matter who they were.His eyes rested on the table when he saw the dice roll. He was sipping from a bottle of wine and waiting for the baggar who had the mad audacity to tell him how to spend his money or try to change his habit.He knew that Sophie was going to try to do something that would piss him off because he had been ignoring her call since the previous day.He really didn't care about whatever she had to say. He would just slap some dollar bills into her hands so that she would take a chill pill and not disturb his life, she was going to make sure that everything was back to normal. She loved money a lot.He smiled as she approached wit

    Leonard didn't know what he was expecting as he walked towards the room where people were normally interrogated. It was almost as if there was something different about him. He was being treated properly like one would do to an honorable man and he felt very scared because he didn't want to have any problems with a controller."Welcome, I've been waiting for you to come since all these while and I can say that you're not exactly what I expected."Leonard was startled by the way the man was acting and he tried to understand what and where this might be coming from because that meant that was a problem. "You know me? I didn't know that you did." He replies tactfully, trying to buy time and still figure out what was happening.The General was relaxed in his seat knowing fully well that Leonard was not happy to see him after seeing that he had intention to date his sister. "I'm sure that Estelle has told you a lot about me and I also know that you've been waiting to meet me. So here I am.

    “Hahaha, very funny" Antonio laughed hysterically, glaring over at his brother from the corner of his eyes.“And when exactly did you become a police officer that you think you have the right to tell me to freeze?” Antonio scoffed with malice in his voice.“I always knew you were dumb-witted but this is a whole new low,” he laughed again uncontrollably. “Do you think being a cop is transferable or something? Just because you’re an in-law to one?” Antonio asked sarcastically, but Leonard left Antonio's words hung in the air unanswered while giving time for the police to surround the house. "Leonard, Leonard, Leonard, " Antonio called out his name, his teeth making ‘tsk-tsk’ sounds as he shook his head in disapproval.“You amaze me sometimes, you know brother?” he continued. "Always thinking you were better than everyone else and had it all together but we both know you never did.” He said while he laughed moving towards Estelle but she pushed back from him. “Even taking our sister'

    Leonard frantically looked through the CCTV cameras at the venue of the wedding, his face was beaded with sweat but he somehow managed to remain calm compared to the rest of them he was the one who was calm the most. The day before which was the last day before the wedding he had spoken with Estelle so how was it that she had just gone missing on the day of her wedding? How could she have just vanished into thin air without a word of warning? It had been a couple of hours already but the family wasn’t in a hurry to let the media or the public in general know anything about all that had happened, at least not until they got the bearing back together and had figured out at least something about what was going on, could she have run away on her wedding? That didn’t seem feasible, particularly because of how happy she was during the preparation, she was truly excited to be with Silas, but at the same time, she was afraid that something would happen and perhaps as a cruel joke played on

    Leonard began to go through the accounts book and began to see a large number of errors regarding the money going in and out of the firm, at this time Antonio had been arrested so it was up to him to take over the company and oversee all that was going on within it. But what he was seeing in the books did not put him at ease at the very least, on the contrary,, it made him feel rather disturbed, what exactly had Antonio been doing for so long in the company, what had he been spending so much money on that he didn’t care about the losses it incurred so frequently?He asked himself inwardly and then with a sigh he stood up and decided to question the people who worked for Antonio starting with Alice.She was the only one he actually trusted to tell the truth about what was really going on in the company and every office, as for the others he could not exactly be certain which ones among them were still in contact with or still willing to work for Antonio.

    Sophie paced back and forth in the place she had decided to take shelter which wasn't anywhere comfortable but was some place in the slums, her past self would never once have even imagined that she would ever have a day of such humiliation, a day when she would be trying so hard to fight a losing battle against the monster that was the law. And as it was in that moment this monster was mere minutes away from finding her and choking her to death, as she pondered she recalled what Antonio had said before, both what he said about having more affluence and what he told her to do then with Emma, but it was as she thought about it that she shook her head and decided not to, she was already in hot enough soup, she didn't need to add any more fire. She really didn't know everything about Antonio or what his endgame really was, but one thing she knew that she could count on if she decided to work with him was the fact that somebody was going to have to die, it was just a matter of who, and

    The next dayAs Leonard looked up at the exterior of the company's building, memories started flooding in, he began feeling a sense of nostalgia.The company was a sleek and modern marvel! It appeared as a gleaming giant, its facade a vast expanse of silver-gray glass and steel that seemed to stretch up to the very sky. The entrance was marked by a bold, oversized logo in a bright, electric blue color that seemed to pulse with energy. The walls of the building appeared to be made of a shimmering glass material that reflected the surrounding light, giving it a sense of depth and dimensionality.Overall, it was one damn of a cutting-edge technological company and Leonard couldn't imagine how Antonio might have managed to ruin it.As he climbed the wide stairs leading to the entrance, he cleared his throat trying his best to ignore the nervousness he was feeling.Questions like–would he even be able to fit in? What if no one wanted him there? What if he couldn't catch up and missed ever

    A week laterIn the courtroom, filled with a shimmering sense of hope, Leonard stood in his small wooden cubicle before the judge.Everyone present, expecting nothing but good judgment. Through the thick lenses of the judge looking down on everyone from her high seat, with a hand she picked up her gavel with one hand and struck it twice on the gavel stone.“Leonard, you are hereby acquitted and released from all your charges,” she declared with a sounding voice as light applause began to fill the room.As Leonard made his way out of the court, a whole flock of people including the press, news reporters, broadcasters, the media were outside waiting for Leonard to emerge and once they got sight of him, they all came running to him at once.Lenoard tried his best to stay composed as multiple cameras and mics were getting shoved in his face. “Leonard, look here!” One reporter said, “No, Leonard look here,” another blurted out. “So you were really accused?”The questions kept rolling and

    Estelle adjusted herself on the seat provided before Leonard, sitting upright so she could get a clear view of her brother's face through the security glass partition.“What do you mean by that Leonard? You don't want to work for the company anymore when you come out?” Estelle asks, trying to clarify.Leonard noded, “Just as I said Estelle, I don't think going back to that company is what I want to do.”“Don't think like that Leo,” she started in a convincing voice. “I mean, the company's faith depends on you. Speaking of which, it has already run down significantly, although we haven't run into any debt. What I'm saying is if you leave now, it will be in total shambles.”Leonard looked away for a moment sighing and if he thought Estelle would give up so easily then he was mistaken.“I honestly don't understand how Antonio is running that company, people literally loved you Leonard! In fact it was those same people who advocated for you to be released after all the evidence came out a

    In the boardroomThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with anticipation. Silas, a commanding presence with an air of authority, stood at the head of the table, his eyes scanning the faces of the gathered board members.“Thank you all for coming,” Silas began, his voice steady and firm. “Today, we address the matter of the DNA test results.”He looked over at the corner where the police officers he was here with today stood. And with a flicker of his wrist, one police officer came forward, handing him over a brown envelope.Silas took the brown envelope, bringing out the documents within, lifting it up in the air so everyone present in the boardroom could see so there'd be no chances of anyone accusing him that he'd slip anything in.“May a neutral person come forward?” Silas announced and a junior officer appeared before him from the crowd. He hands the documents over to him. “Distribute them.” With that the junior officer nodded, beginning from the first person, he went one aft
