Chapter 46Griffin walks out of his office rest room adjusting his tie, he was surprised with the figure before him.“To what do I owe this sudden visit?” Griffin release a deep sigh and takes his seat before him.“You have been doing well so far even after being down my step down schedule, You know when I was young like you I don’t have this freedom to use computer much like you”“Should I say I don’t like using computer? I prefer knowing them off in my head in certain page written down, the smell of ink and old books feels definitely great” Edward was explaining those feelings he had when he was immersed into his work.“It is, very great indeed like you said, those thing would have been wonderful doing them but then having to do what I can do in less than five minutes and you could use a day to do is better off feeling ease” Griffin replied his father.It’s definitely the first time he do be visiting at work after he was announced as the CEO weeks ago.“It’s usually waste of time bu
Mary walks down the stairs to look for Griffin she was surprised not to see her early this morning right beside her.They slept off together last night and it’s really been early since she notice his disappearance but then she thought he’s just using the restroom and would be back soon.Now waking up early on bed and couldn’t find him again with the bed space so cold makes her feels somehow off.“Where could he be? She whisper checking the kitchen but it’s dead silent, most of the maids are definitely still sleeping since it’s still early.She takes the stairs back upstairs and try looking for her phone, she picked it up and was ready to call him when she saw his phone on the bed side.“Now what to do? She didn’t even know any of his friend that she could call, he hasn’t seen anyone with him.“Oh ! Right Chris” She whisper and takes his phone looking for his number.She found it and dial it immediately, he didn’t pick up after three rings so she decide to call him with her phone inst
Griffin keeps pacing up and down the ward entrance while his step brother and mother takes their seat watching him like someone who is obsessed with his father all along lying at their face.To Griffin they are just bunch of gold diggers waiting for him to die so they do go ahead with their plan to take his property.He hasn’t even eat with him yet and not even now when he still has more to learn from him.He haven’t even know him for years, this shouldn’t happen.He had left the house this morning in a ease even without taking his phone along, he’s sure Mary would have been up by now looking for him.She might definitely think he hurried to work, this isn’t public yet.Once the city knows that the CEO of the Devon’s at the hedge of death, they would definitely try to do something risky so it’s better keeping this away from the media for now.“Not like you like him so pace put virgin and let have some silent” Micheal says to Griffin and his mother quickly shut him up with a glare.“Yo
Chapter 49Mary was about driving in when she hall, she picked up her phone and saw missed calls from Emily.She dial her line again and Griffin get on the line,“Babe?”“Are you not with Chris?” She asked with her raise brows igniting the car engine.“Chris? No! Don’t tell me you’re there, I’m at the hospital right now dad collapsed” Griffin replied.Mary reversed the car and speed away immediately, she didn’t know what could have go wrong between those two but she never would have believe that Chris has a good reason to deceive her just so she could come to him.Chris have always seems more like he claim to be in her eyes from the beginning but who is she to question friendship that have been before she was there?“I haven’t yet but I was about to” Mary said.“Leave there right now, the security reported that you left with them, babe just come down to the hospital right now” Griffin said breathing out frustration.He should have brought his phone along no matter what and all this wo
Chris step down from his car and heads towards his father mansion, he’s sure Griffin would have had a glimpse of what he’s about to do to him.What pains him right now when he’s about getting to his destination she just did that type of flash reverse.He couldn’t believe that he’s already jubilation when she haven’t drives in, he shouldn’t have let her leave and have her chased to the end but it’s only going to ruin his next time chance.Maybe today he’s father is going to see his effort as something after all this while, no one have been able to get so close since.He would be able to see his sister today right? One reason why he’s been hiding her away is something he didn’t know.Even Jace would acknowledge his effort right? He didn’t want his moves to get over his head but he couldn’t control it.The guards all greeted him respectfully as he walks through the hall way, he could hear the maids and slaves all whispering about him.It’s not his fault he’s this handsome and at the end
“What did you say you do?” Edward couldn’t believe his ears.“I made them restrict him, if he’s planing to step into their den without plan I felt this would all be on me” Emily replied slowly.“Of course it’s all on you when you choose to blurt your mouth to him like that” Mary shoot her some glare.“What were you expecting? That he would believe that his best friend truly killed his mom? He’s going to want to hear from his mouth and you know that for sure cause they are best buddies” Mary wish she could slap Emily at that point.“What have you done? Edward assisted coldly and Mary felt the shock and spark from his words heavily,Emily knows that she’s done for at that moment.“Get yourself to the cold room before I change my mind and shoot you dead this moment, tell the maids to prepare table for three” He ordered and he walks out of the wards like her pant is on fire.Mary wonder such aura that he could be carrying for him to have such power in in his voice, is that she doesn’t see
Sitting round the long dinning table, the silence over it is something no one could give a particular meaning to.Griffin never for once thought he’s father will make his step mom and brother sit down with them no matter what.Mary found it difficult to eat freely at that table while Edward seems to be the only person who is enjoying the meal.Even if the food is poisoned he do be glad that the food he had last with his family is the one that ends him.“The fact that he was given another chance to leave that hospital again and opportunity to eat with them again makes him a happy man.“You should eat freely Mary” Edwards says to her who is finding it difficult even to left up a spoon up to her mouth.“Even if they want to poison someone it’s not going to be you at least” Me Edward smiled cockily.“No one is poisoning anyone, They are going to have to kill themselves if at all they have made any attempt” Griffin replied.“By that.what do you mean?” His step mother was the first to ask.
The news of the founder of the Devon’s company death went round the city like wildfire, no one was expecting such a sudden news especially when no knows he’s sick.The truth is his death is going to bring so many changes and which is why so many people are praying desperately that the new heir would favour them.Many work directly or indirectly under their companies and those that don’t even work under them have one deal or the other to Dottie with them.The fact that some of them even owe billions of naira borrowed with many things as collateral.His death throw many in chaos and man desperately want to know him.The tiger clan couldn’t be more than happy about the news, they work just get easier and to them getting rid of Griffin?Is a piece of cake, how would they have know that? When they have not even get a chance to battle with him before?He seems cool to them with a heart of gold, “now that you’re close to getting his wife before getting him won’t be a piece cake right?” Chris
