"Where are you going?" Leonard inquired from Emma when he saw her crossing the threshold. She was supposed to wait for him but this time around, she didn't even say anything. Emma swiveled immediately and stared at him, " Oh, sorry I didn't want to stress you seeing that you have been a lot busy these days." She apologized and he stared at her wondering the meaning of her words. For all he knew, there was nothing that was stopping her from waiting for him or telling him that he wanted to go home."That has never stopped you before has it?" He responded.Emma rolled her eyes, sgd didn't want to have this conversation with him and she hoped that he understood her. "I'm sorry about that. I want to go home early today so that I can play with Emma a bit before she sleeps. It's nothing serious." She replied with a bite in her voice.Leonard didn't understand why she was acting that way. He figured that she might be on her period that was why she was acting that way but that didn't mean tha

Estelle didn't say anything for a minute and both ladies stared at each other as they waited to hear what was going on. "Let's have this conversation in the room." Estelle said and she followed her immediately. "I don't want to make you angry or anything, but I think that you should be aware of what is going on." She began and Emma stared at her a bit confused as to where this conversation was heading to. "Okay?" "Now, I don't understand what's going on, but I saw something which I would want you to explain to me." Emma still stared on in confusion wondering what was actually going on. "Can you please tell me what is going on?" " Yeah, I can. What is going on is that, I saw that you sold our idea to our rival company but I wanted to ask you first before my brother knows." Estelle replied, watching for the smallest tick in her countenance and she froze. " What?" " I don't know... That's what the camera says." Emma cocked her head sideways, " That's impossible. What cameras?"

Leonard was in his office, feeling a bit cranky and tired and he was unable to concentrate on what he was doing. Estelle barged into his office and he had to look up. "There's a reason that there is a door." "I know, I don't just want to knock. I came to speak to you. What happened to Emma? You've not reached out to her to know what is happening. Have you ever taken time to find out what actually happened? I don't think she's guilty or what do you think?" Leonard pretended to focus on what he was staring at as though she was disturbing him. "Is there a reason you don't want to reach out to her?" "Is there a reason you're refusing to see what she did? Would you be this lenient on another staff member?" He asked instead. "I don't know why you're not willing to try and work things out." She said and he shook his head. "I am still making sure that investigation goes on. I won't allow anything to stop me from the normal process. You should understand that people are two-faced, you

" What do you mean by that?" " Exactly what you heard brother. She's living with her boyfriend. He's ready to make sure that she gets the best treatment since the person she was slaving for didn't appreciate her." Estelle continued lying, enjoying the display of various emotions on Leonard's face. A few things managed to get to him, but he was fuming afterward. He wanted to smash the unfortunate being that had the guts and temerity to have anything to do with his Emma. Goodness, gracious. What made her his Emma. He was sure that she was probably also wondering what happened to him. If he was being honest, he overreacted and it was a problem to him because that meant that he had probably lost her for good and a stupid man was out that ready to snatch her away. " You don't need to frown. She's not yours and I would certainly not accept this if I were her because it's annoying to say the least. You called her various names without confirming that it was true. Only a woman with a lot

Leonard heard the door slam shut and he understood what was going on. There was only one explanation for that. His beloved's sister-in-law was hiding away from him. The funny thing was that it was under his nose. He would never have imagined that in his entire life hence the reason for him being pissed." Do you know how hard I looked for you?" He demanded as he yanked the door open forcefully. Emma stared at the man that she was falling for. " Good afternoon, Mr. Leonard." Leonard turned and saw his daughter's curious eyes staring at them. He was livid that Estelle was messing with his mind making him think violent thoughts when she was here all the while. His daughter was also the culprit. "Ava, excuse us." He ordered and the little girl obeyed immediately, vanishing from their presence like she was never there in the first place. He walked into the room and slammed the door shut. "So, what were you planning to achieve? Hide away from me throughout this lifetime? You should have

Leonard received a call immediately he arrived at his office that morning and hissed when he checked the ID caller. It was Mr. Griffin and he was a bit annoyed at the way he had been calling him." Hello, Mr. Griffin. How can I help you?" "I heard what my daughter did.""Okay," "But you can't send her to prison. That's impossible." He said and Leonard chuckled. " Let's have a discussion about this. I promise you. I understand everything that happens and I don't blame you but it would soil my daughter's image. How would you even think about sending her to jail without contacting me first." "Mr. Griffin, if you would just go straight to the point, I think we would all be better that way. But I really don't have the strength for this kind of argument today. What do you propose to do?" "I will compensate you for the damage my daughter has done. Tell me the value of that contract and I'd either send half the payment to you or help you get another one. Which do you prefer?" "Send my fu

"Hello, gentlemen. I really need your help concerning an issue. It's been of concern to me. Can you imagine that my brother has connived with my brother to make sure that I don't get a dime out of the money that they realized from a shady deal? How disturbing is that?" Antonio complained to his friends.They stared at him in shock wondering how this happened without his knowledge " wait where were you when they were collecting this money?""I hope it wasn't one of the times that you traveled without reason. If that's the case then they can withhold the proceeds from you." Mark spoke.Antonio felt like punching the man in the face because it was annoying him to the core. " I can't deal with all of you block heads. I'm telling you that is about fifty million dollars that they are not willing to let me have a part of. What's the relationship between my holiday and their money?""Thanks for those words. Their money. If you would be sincere, you know that you don't deserve it right?" Mark

"Hello, what is that in your hands?" Estelle barged into her brother's office slowly. She had been told on the internet by strangers that there was an issue with her company yet both of them were right here and there was nothing that prepared her for that "So, tell me, what do you intend to achieve by selling the company? I won't allow you to do that.""Can't you see that the company is in shambles? Let's just take our egos and leave right now, you can't just expect that we should just stay and watch it die completely in our hands. There's certainly no joy in that. You hear me?" "We can't just give up like that. I mean, we have to make sure that our father's legacy doesn't go down the drain. I can't wait to see you have a rethink about your decision. I mean, this is very annoying. Why is your idea of repairing this include leaving the company?" Estelle complained. She was bewildered by the latest things happening in the office. The Leonard she knew would ensure that he got things r

“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. He couldn't be more angry at

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
