It was time to leave and maybe go to Monaco for some time till the heat goes away. He would bribe all the officials to allow him to pass through. He was even very sure that they were probably just going to act tough for show, no one was really tough amongst them instead, he would rather that they stayed with him or even made them his guards. He had barrels of raw cash sitting in the basement which he could splurge on themAs he was leaving he received a call. "Hello?" "I don't know what you're up to but when I say it's over, let it actually be over. Why are you making a mess of yourself when you can show them who's boss? I don't expect that you'd be caught up in this trap after all these years and technology. Even when I operated, no one could trace it to me. I don't know why you don't have my genius genes. I can't be associated with failure. It's just entirely not possible because I would be so sick to my bones."I am ashamed to call you my son. I know that it's hard and all of tha
Antonio was pissed when he dropped the receiver. This was a stupid move and he was telling that guy not to waste time. Now they have escaped! That was not what he wanted. "Why did you allow them to leave?" He muttered.There was a soft knock on his door and he almost bit the person. "What the hell are you disturbing me for?" Rufus rolled his eyes at the mad man's response. Doesn't Antonio know that he was a businessman? There was nothing that would stop him from always receiving calls. "Sorry about that sir. But you have a call from Arsen. He says that he has been trying to reach you all these while but your number hasn't been going through sir" He felt like barking and chewing this man off. It wasn't what he was expecting though but it was still better than not having anything to do. He was furious at anyone who called. He didn't want to say yes sir to anyone because they were board members.He didn't agree to their suggestions. "Is there a reason you're not emotionally intelligen
Leonard sighed as he was transferred out of his cell. He has been feeling a little numb in the past few days. He had been thinking about loads of things and he was feeling a little bored and jaded. He however received the news of Silas calling a meeting that even he would have to attend. Currently, two prison guards stood beside him as he walked down the hall in a nonchalant manner. He just wanted to capture the feeling of freedom again. Being caged and restricted was a really trauma inducing state which one can be in. He followed the guards through the hall and at last the door opened into a room. He stepped inside and he laid his eyes on Silas who was giving him a rather warm smile, he glanced sideways and Estelle was also giving him a warm expression. He grinned happily. For the first time in a while he was indeed genuinely happy to see his people. He now caressed every moment they came to him, etching it into his memories and enjoying those moments more than he really should be
“Estelle, I wouldn't want you to get upset at any of this.” Leonard says placing a firm hand on his sister's shoulder knowing how she could be at times.“But we need to find a way of nabbing Antonio instead.” Leonard concluded and Estelle looked deeply at him with eyes filled with query, “We need him down no matter what and that should be our top priority.”“And how do you suppose we even do that Leo?” She asks with her eyebrows arched towards her brother puzzled.“That's simple my dear Estelle…” He started in a keen voice as he waved his hands in the air demonstrating his elaborate plan to her, “All we need to do is invite Daisy over for questioning. That way, it'll save us up a lot more time and stress, just like killing two birds with one stone.” Estelle sighed as she analyzed his plan in her mind, and she had to admit it wasn't the worst one she'd heard. Questioning Daisy seemed like a steady way to go. “Well, I can't say that wouldn't be the best option for us right now in such
Daisy Callaghan was mowing her lawn the next morning when she heard her phone vibrate in her pocket, she switched off the machine and reached deep into her pocket thinking that it was someone that she knew. Probably from church, because she missed service the previous day. "Hello?" She replied, squinting and trying to see the number but was finding it difficult to due to her failing eyesight."Good morning, ma'am. Am I onto Miss Daisy Callaghan?" Silas spoke and she removed the phone from her ear in shock mixed with fear. Her eyes widened considerably hoping that it wasn't her nemesis that was calling. "Who am I speaking with?" She replied instead and Silas rolled his eyes at her panicked tone. She was a wicked lady hence the reason for her fear. He cleared his throat, I believe that you have an agreement with a certain Mr. Leonard whom you promised that you would be around so why haven't we seen you?" Daisy was feeling very weird about going to the prison yard again because she d
Emma was basically bringing out some food from the microwave when she heard the doorbell ring. Leonard had refused to tell her the reason he was insistent that she didn't do anything because according to her, she didn't see any reason why he should be worried about Rufus but she still did the right thing by making sure that she didn't entertain him one bit. According to her, if she didn't ask him for any more information, maybe he would get the memo and stop calling her. It worked because Rufus didn't call for the past few days making her very happy.She peeped through the window and saw a man backing her and that got her wondering where exactly he had come from. There was no need for her to venture into opening the door when she couldn't recognize the fellow that was there.Antonio stuffed his hands into his pockets as he took a glance around the surroundings, he had come to realize that there was a problem somewhere. He didn't feel like there was something wrong but he found out th
"Thank you all for coming. I didn't know that you would make it here, so early. It's such a great honor to see you all here. What a lovely attendance." Antonio told his board of trustees. After that scandal, it had taken lots of insane conviction to finally say yes to him."Well, we are here now, hoping that you don't drag us through the mud again as usual. I really can't stomach all the stress of going to check who is ready and who isn't, what the news says and what it doesn't. It's a lot and I don't think I can do that at all. Now, if you would permit me. How far have you gone with the search for a wife?"Antonio was taken aback because he didn't know that they were actually serious about this stuff. He had no plans of getting married, at least not in the near future. "I have been on it but you know that marriage is not something that you just dive into. Like every business venture, you have to plan it accordingly and get the feasibility studies so that you can at least have somethi
Estelle jolted awake when she realized where she was. Her eyes roamed through the unfamiliar surroundings, trying to make sure that she hadn't been kidnapped. She sighed when she saw a familiar picture resting on the wall. 'Oh my goodness! I am in a man's house! I hope we didn't do anything!' she peeped under the duvet that had covered her skin and placed a hand over her mouth. She was only in her briefs. Had Silas taken advantage of her? She wondered. That would be unfair, it was because she trusted him that made her follow him because she knew that she was drunk but couldn't go home alone lest she drove into a ditch.A chuckle made her turn and she finally spotted Silas drinking a steaming cup of coffee with a wide smile on his face. "I know what you're thinking but that's not the case at all. I don't know what you take me for though." He muttered.She felt the hurt radiating from his voice and decided that she had to find a way to make it up to this guy with the various hurtful
