He had him dressed up.Arthur knew he had more pressing issues to sort out but he couldn't wait to see the look on Claire's face. He couldn't sit still without going ahead with the plan in his head. After that was done, he was ready to concentrate on business.Jim pressed the horn, alerting Arthur who looked up sharply to see Claire glancing around to catch the sight of Arthur.With the sound coming from the car, Claire figured it must be for her and she approached the car immediately, her hands trembling.Arthur didn't know if she knew about him already but she gave herself away already. It was obvious she knew his true identity already.That made him smile.He should have known. Claire wouldn't have picked up his call if she didn't know he was no longer the Arthur he used to be.

I instruct Jim to drive me home. I had succeeded in humiliating Mark and placing a dent in his relationship with Claire. Mark was going to ensure I paid for the beatings, while Claire was going to do everything to return as my wife.I loved Claire, but seeing how easily she was drawn to wealth made me realise she was never the right woman for me. I had the wrong choice of falling for her, but this second chance I was given by fate, my father, I was going to use to make all of them pay, including Claire.I saw Mark yelling at Claire before Jim drove off. The beginning of their drama. I wondered if Mark knew what he was getting into when he decided to take Claire off my hands. I was glad he did because she wasn't worth my love but a gold digger.Accordingly, my father's companies needed urgent attention, and there were a lot of plans to be made. I also intended to remove my stepfather from the board of executives list. They have had their fun, and I was going to ensure no one messes wit

`What were you thinking when you decided to show up in a restaurant with your ex-husband, whom you sent thugs to beat, and he ended up in the hospital?` Mark yelled, grabbing Claire`s neck. ``Please, you`re hurting me, babe. I am sorry. He threatened to report us to the cops if I didn't show up. I didn`t mean to hurt you.` Claire begged, struggling to breath. She thought she had outsmarted Mark, but when he showed up at the restaurant, she knew it was over. After the earlier incident—the push—she began to fear him. She had been so carried away with his wealth that she forgot to study his temperament. Now, it was too late to start regretting her actions. He let her go, breathing hard. `I love you, Claire. I don't know what that trash has to give you that I can`t. I know he just got lucky, but don`t forget the sacrifices I have made just to see you happy. You mustn't try to see him again, alright?`She sniffed, getting up. `I won`t disobey your orders again, love. I'm so sorry for e

The members of the board stood up as Arthur walked into the room. This was his first official meeting and introduction to the head company. As expected, Marianna and her sisters were present. They didn't bother to stand up with the others but kept their faces on their phones. He wasn't bothered. They had threatened to come to the board meeting to cause chaos if I didn't return the money. He didn't budge. He was ready for them, and like he told Marianna, he wasn't afraid of them anymore.Arthur signalled Jim to distribute the documents he and Uncle Derrick had prepared for the meeting. It contained the new rules, regulations, and terms and conditions that all branches and companies under Craig Control will be using. He explained the contents to everyone and asked them to drop their suggestions and opinions. Two people raised concerns over the effect the new rules and policies would have on clients and consumers.He provided tactful answers and asked everyone to come up with programmes

Arthur watched Claire eat. She had no idea what he planned for. She really thought she had cut her cake and had it all. Well, she was wrong. Life didn’t work that way, and she will learn soon.She took a long sip of the wine he had ordered for them. ‘Thanks for tonight, Arthur. I am happy you brought us here to cherish this moment.’He smiled, ‘Of course. You deserve to be treated as the queen that you are. So, I have other plans created specifically for you before I leave New York.’‘Oh, wow. Can I know what the plans are?’ she asked, her eyes glowing.‘Nothing much, though. I have an invitation to a hotel grand opening ceremony. Although we are already late, I just need to show up and pledge an amount of money for them.’‘Okay, I can escort you there. Is it the Met Trent Hotel?’He smiled. Of course, she will know it. Claire lives on social media trends. She will do everything to stay online all day and keep up with the latest events and programmes, even if she can’t afford to be th

‘You are only here because we want you to be here,’ she repeated. ‘I hope Uncle Derrick told you about his father’s enemies. We aren't the only ones who will be coming for you.’ Enemies? What was she talking about? She was probably making it up to scare me,me, but she had failed before she started.‘There are no enemies except you and your sisters. I will remind you to watch your tongue and remember your place in the family, sister. I won’t be this kind next time if II have to remind you.’ I warned her, staring sternly at her.She chuckled.. ‘I won't remind you about what II said too. I will be right here when they start visiting you, Arthur.’She took a bottle of juice and walked away. What enemies was she talking about? I pondered her words until daybreak, then at work,work, and by the time I was sitting in a business meeting with Uncle Derrick, Derrick, I couldn’t stop myself from asking.‘Uncle, there’s something I need to ask you.’ I started rearranging my question so that it wo

He was embarrassed on her behalf. He could see the rage on her face when Arthur insulted her! He wondered what his parents would say when they found out about the video. They would definitely remind him that she wasn't good for him. He had to confront her.‘Where were you on Friday’s night?’ He asked, watching her eyes move.She paused, dropping her phone. ‘I was at Susan’s place. I told you we had a girl hangout, remember? Why are you asking?’He smiled. Of course. The little gold digger would lie to save herself!‘You shouldn’t lie to me, Claire. Are you sure you were at Susan’s place? Think harder, dear.’ He pushed, hoping she w
