“Okay boss, I will try my absolute best,” Katherine responded. His grip on the phone tightened.“I’m counting on you,” he said and with that he ended the call.Marcus's anger and frustration were palpable as he kicked the car's tire, his eyes blazing with intensity. "Amayah!" he spat through gritted teeth, her name a curse on his lips. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, before opening the car door and sliding into the driver's seat.He started the engine and drove off, his mind racing with thoughts of the potential child and his own uncertain fate. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, his heart heavy with the weight of uncertainty. "Please, don't let it be mine," he muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.Marcus's thoughts were consumed by a mix of anger, hurt, and a sense of betrayal. He couldn't fathom how Amayah could even consider aborting his child, something he had always dreamed of having. He had respected her choices, but this was dif
Amayah's eyes fluttered open, and she groggily took in her surroundings. She struggled to sit up, disoriented and confused. "Where am I?" she mumbled, her voice weak and shaky. Owen rushed to her side, trying to help her up. "Here, darling, let me assist you," he said, but Amayah flinched at his touch, her eyes wide with fear. Owen looked around, noticing that the nurse was distracted and not paying attention. He let out a sigh and tried to reassure Amayah, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you that hard." But Amayah remained silent, her heart racing with fear. She didn't know how to react or what to make of her surroundings. Owen's presence only seemed to heighten her anxiety. "It's fine," Amayah said softly, her voice barely audible. She couldn't shake off the feeling of fear. If Owen could hit her hard enough to knock her out, what else was he capable of? She swallowed hard, trying to push the thought away. Owen stared at her, his eyes filled with a mix of concern. But
Owen and Amayah burst into the house, the door slamming shut behind them. Owen's anger was palpable as he confronted Amayah, his voice raised in rebuke. "What was that nonsense you pulled earlier?" he growled, his eyes blazing with intensity. Amayah's eyes widened in shock, her words faltering as she retreated backward, "I...I don't understand..." Owen's expression darkened, his tone menacing. "If you ever step out of the car and create a scene like that again, you will regret it, you are lucky you are in this condition." With that, he turned and stalked away, leaving Amayah bewildered and fighting back tears. She whispered to herself, her voice trembling, "Amayah, you can't let him know he's hurt you. No, you can't." Her eyes flashed with anxiety as she steeled herself against Owen's cruelty.Amayah's emotional turmoil overwhelmed her, and she crumpled to the floor, her head in her hands. Her mind raced with questions, wondering what she had done to deserve Owen's cruel treatm
"Damn it," Marcus muttered, and Katherine asked, "What's wrong?" He turned to face her, his expression grave. "I just received a message from Sandra, the Tycoon Lord's two. He's requested an urgent meeting with them." Katherine's eyes widened in alarm. "I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this is bad, very..." Marcus nodded in agreement, his face set in a worried scowl. "This is very bad." He tried calling Sandra, but it went straight to voicemail, and he let out a frustrated hiss. "Why now?" he groaned, rubbing the back of his neck in disbelief.Sandra, on the other hand, had switched off her phone, aware that her father was sitting in front of her, and she couldn't risk getting caught. "Dad, can I come along with you?" she asked, trying to sound innocent. But her father's stern voice cut her off. "No." In normal circumstances, Sandra would have backed down, but she was determined to attend the party to uncover the truth, she knew they needed it to be ahead of the Tyc
The group nodded in unison, while Sandra struggled to maintain her composure, her tension palpable. The Tycoon lord noticed her unease and cleared his throat, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I see Xavier brought his daughter," he said, lighting his cigarette. "Yes, boss," Xavier replied, his gaze cast downward. "My son is in prison, and I needed a ride to this place." The Tycoon lord let out a low, menacing chuckle, his eyes fixed on Sandra. "Don't worry, you'll be fine," he said, his tone dripping with condescension. Sandra nodded, her mind racing with the need to conceal her true feelings. She knew that if the Tycoon lord suspected her of harboring doubts or disloyalty, her life would be in grave danger. Her father, Xavier, wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice her to further his own interests, particularly if it meant gaining control of the property alongside John. The mere thought sent a surge of anger through her veins."Jack, your business engagements have been lacking lately, no tra
Jack stormed into Don's room, his anger palpable. He delivered a stinging slap to Don's face, leaving him reeling.“Father?!” Don gasped rubbing his cheeks with his eyes wide open."Don't you dare call me 'Father'!" Jack thundered, his eyes blazing with fury.Don's eyes widened in confusion. "But, Father—"Jack cut him off, his voice rising. "Don't you dare call me that! If I were your father, you would have obeyed me! You wouldn't have destroyed me like this!"Don's confusion deepened. "Father, I don't understand. What did I do? Why are you so angry with me?"Jack's anger boiled over. "You just got me stripped of my tier one status! You ruined me! I warned you to stay away from Johnson, but you wouldn't listen. Now, where do I hide my face?" he exclaimed, his voice heavy with shame and despair."Father, I didn't mean to do it. I didn't know you were warned about Johnson. You didn't tell me," Don pleaded, his eyes wide with innocence.Jack's expression turned disgusted. "Can you even
"How much do you want to sell it for, Leonard?" Marcus asked, his eyes fixed on the CEO.The CEO paused, a calculating glint in his eye. This was an opportunity to offload the company and make a lucrative deal. He cleared his throat, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Mr. Man, we both know how good my company is, and its fame. Yes, we're facing difficulties, but that's normal."Marcus nodded curtly, his expression stern. "Get to the point. How much?"The CEO's smile grew wider. "One trillion dollars."Marcus's eyes widened in shock, not at the price, but at the CEO's audacity. "One trillion dollars?" he repeated, his voice laced with disbelief.The CEO, however, seemed unphased, a smirk still plastered on his face. "What, Mr. Marcus? Is my price too much?" he asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.Marcus's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications of the CEO's asking price. He thought to himself, "I thought he needed money, so why is he driving such a hard bargain?"M
"What's the latest?" Katherine asked the moment she saw Sandra, but before she could respond, Marcus gestured for her to be quiet. "Shh," he said, and they nodded in unison.Marcus began to tiptoe, and as he approached the spy, he opened the door and found the man on the ground, unaware of Marcus's presence. The spy stared up at him, caught off guard."Who are you?" Marcus asked, his tone laced with suspicion.The spy hesitated, "Uh, I'm... looking for my grandpa."Marcus raised an eyebrow, "Grandpa?" he repeated, his skepticism evident.The spy nodded, but Marcus was not convinced. Katherine and Sandra exchanged worried glances, sensing that something was amiss."Fine, come in," Marcus said, his voice firm but measured.The spy's eyes widened, and he hesitated, "Sir, I... "Marcus chuckled, "I thought you said your grandpa lived here, so come in," he repeated, his tone laced with skepticism.The spy shook his head, "No, no, I think I'm in the wrong place," he said, turning to leave,
