"Me?" The man placed a finger on his chest asking if he was the one."Yes, you" We have some things to discuss The man retraced his steps and stood as he was before."Do you mind explaining what transpired earlier?"."I don't know what you mean sir," the man said quietly."You don't know or you don't want to say, it seems to me like you will want to spend the rest of your life in jail".The man looked up quickly, "I don't know what you speak of Sir, please let me know what this is about".Jake raked his hand through his hair, he was getting tired of all this setup and conspiracy around him, he looked at the man, he was of very small build and quite old."Follow me," he told the man and they went back to the office together, he signaled to Jake who played the video and the man watched how he released Shane.There was no escaping for him now as it dawned on him that he had been caught."They made me do it, Sir, they offered me a lot of money and I couldn't refuse"."Who did?", Jake ask
Alice scoffed at his actions, she had never experienced this kind of treatment from any man before, this man had some nerve but somehow she found herself attracted to him.The feeling could not be explained, but she wouldn't allow anybody to embarrass her in public as he just did, at first she was too perplexed to move.She started at the half-eaten steak for a while, wondering what part of her questions could have triggered him to react the way that he did. The whispering from the onlookers made her stand up, she does not like gossip, especially when it is done to her hearing.She called the waiter and asked for the bill which she paid and went for her jacket, his jacket was still there, he might have forgotten to carry it or was too pissed to ask for it.Outside was quite chilly and she looked around hoping to see him. Fortunately, he had not left, then she realized that she had driven him and he couldn't possibly leave on his own."here is your jacket" She handed it to him, and he
She watched him to sure he was listening to her she paused a bit."Will you like me to continue?" she asked."By all means do, it is already sounding interesting to me" he encouraged her. May he would find out more from her than the article.She cleared her throat and continued. "Around that time your grandfather was about to secure a deal in Asia just to expand his consortium, he wanted to get this deal done and was away most of the time"."Then your grandmother felt neglected, he wasn't letting her in on the business anymore, she suspected that he was having an affair which was not true, and contemplated he wanted to cut her off"."She had a child for a secret lover unknown to your grandfather, and wanted to make the child inherit everything"."My grandfather found out about this and wanted to use it to bring do the McPherson consortium, but your transfer was quick enough to catch that there was something fishy"."The former chairman could not bring himself to know which of the rear
The silent crowd was eager to hear him speak as the new chairman, most of them were just meeting him for the first time.A movement caught his eye in the crowd and he smiled as he recognized the person, Cassandra had come to hear him speak as well, it filled him with so much joy that he started speaking."I would like to welcome you all to the McPherson consortium anniversary, and also thank you, whether you realize it or not, you all have played a part in where this company stands"."Taking up the role of chairman came as a surprise to me as it was to most of you present here, if anyone had told me a few months back that I would be leading a consortium as this, I would never have believed"."I'm taking upon myself the challenge the former chairman has given me and I will prove myself worthy of this position, thank you".Loud cheers came from the crowd as he stepped away from the microphone and bowed his head a little. He stepped down amazed at how he was able to compose himself and d
Max wasn't surprised, he had seen Jake in action before and he knew he could take them all by himself."What are you waiting for" Fred yelled, "attack him".The first man launched at Jake and he quickly dodged it giving the man a powerful blow under the belt, the man gasped for air at the impact and fell to the ground groaning.Fred was shocked to see the way Jake fought, he only heard that Jake was a good fighter but that was an understatement of his real ability.A single blow did not hit Jake and he overthrew the men as easily as you would take candy from a child. He tipped his toes cautiously as the fight continues and was about to run when his face hit hard against a muscular body.He looked up to the frightening gaze of Max, how did he get here? He was just standing over there, he asked no one in particular.Max pulled him by the collar and shoved him over to Jake's side. He cowered in fright."I don't know what makes you think you can pull that kind of prank on me, but I am not
Jake waited for her to respond but she kept mute."Why are you suddenly so quiet? cat caught your tongue?".She was at a loss of what to say and moved closer to him, still scared of touching him because she didn't know what his reaction would be like.All the years they have been married, Jake had never made her feel less of herself, she always thought that it was due to his poor background that's why he showed humility to her.Even in the face of her mother's taunts and abuse, he showed love to her and Jackson. She was manipulated by Shane, yes, that was what happened.If she explained to him that it was all Shane's idea, perhaps he would forgive her and they might become a happened."Jake love, it was all Shane's idea", she began, "he deceived me, made me feel horrible for falling in love with someone in the lower class with no background"."He and my mother planned this whole thing up, they constantly put it in my head how you were all about the money from the jump. That you were a
There was nothing left for her to do but to accept her fate, she couldn't bring herself to finish the wine she was drinking before.To enter the room allocated to her by the maid was too much work for her to do as she slumped on the sofa staring at the half bottle of wine.Her mind flashed back to the early days of how she and Jake started. They were both in their final year of college and she was attracted to him at first sight.All the girls were attracted to him, and she doubted if he would notice her at all, he worked part-time at a cafe in college, juggling both work and studies together.The females found that attractive back then, a man who could sort out his bills was recognized as a full-grown man.She would always go to the cafe to get coffee anytime he was on duty, and he didn't fail to see how she shyly made her way to the counter to make her order.There was something that caught his attention about her and he decided to talk to her.One day after he finished working he s
Madison slept for so long, the sleep that engulfed her was so powerful that she didn't sense when Jackson came to snuggle beside her.The sun through the raised curtains and the tender warmth she felt against her face made her eyes open to the alluring brightness of the alluring sun, she yawned and stretched her body only to feel something underneath the duvet.There was no way she could bring herself to imagine what was under there with her perhaps a dog in the house?Dogs are known to always creep onto the beds of their owners and if there is one animal she doesn't like then it's a dog.Slowly she raised the duvet and to her surprise it was Jackson holding tightly to her leg, she smiled at the bundle of joy and brushed a loc of hair from his forehead. This was the only reason she still remained sane after everything she had passed through. And she vowed to live a better life for his sake. Gently removing the covers so she doesn't wake him, she tiptoed back to return the duvet. By t
