HAVE PITY ON THEM?Reuben woke up to the beep of his phone.He stretched himself on the bed and looked around.Annabelle was sleeping peacefully beside him.Her face was as bright as the morning sun.Reuben smiled and sat up.He tried remembering how he slept off the previous night.When they emerged from the washroom the previous night, they fell into a romantic conversation that night and had a good time together.Afterward, they both stood up to have a second shower and came back to bed, with Annabelle's head on his chest.That was all. They both fell asleep .Reuben looked at Annabelle as she slept peacefully beside him.A trace of a smile on her face.Reuben smiled at her. He sat up on the bed and picked up his phone, and checked it. It was a message from his cousin Andrea." Good morning to the newest ruler in town. Don't
IT'S HIS TIME TO TAKE OVER"Alright, I have heard you guys. You are actually right. So, we are going to go as the deal stated.Now, this is how we are going to go about it.We are going to request a full refund of our money and its interest due the three years. The time frame we will give them is a weekI know for sure they would not be able to pay up.Now, the week also coincides with the time ultimatum the investors gave them for the oil factory.That means, if the time is up and they can not pay either of us, they are going to go bankrupt as a result of the investors pulling out of their business.Now, the Andersons will be down by one.Next, we also demand for their oil factory in compensation of some part of the money they owe.That leaves them with no option than to give in, " Grandpa said." Okay, but how much are we talking about here? " Andrea asked." Principal amount of two million dollars and a total interest of a little over a million dollars for the total three years.
BEING TOO HARD ON THEM??Reuben and Andrea walked out of grandpa's study, leaving him to himself in the room.As they got out, Reuben and Andrea engaged in a conversation as they walked down the hallway." So how are you going to go about it?" Andrea asked." Well, to begin, I will get our lawyer to send them the files and our demand. That will probably be on monday morning.Then we will take it from there, " Reuben said.Andrea nodded." That is cool to start with. But hey, these family are really going to go down on their knees, I tell you.I really think grandpa are really being too hard on them, " Andrea said.Reuben nodded."Yeah, I kinda agree with you. However, I really think he is in for revenge, and I totally agree with them.They deserve that, considering the fact that they treated me like trash when I was with them.I swore to never spare them, and it seems Grandpa is in full support of that." Reuben said and sighed.Andrea nodded and giggled." You know Grandpa was ruthles
A HUGE SUM AND A HUGE NOTEGrandma and Louisa sat looking at each other." What if they have forgotten about this whole thing?" Louisa asked, breaking the silence." That may also be true, but how sure are we? We can only hope, we can't be rest assured." Grandma replied." And how much money did grandpa take from them?" Louisa asked and looked back in the paper, trying to see if she could find any stated amount in the contract." It was not stated there, but I know it must be a very huge sum in total," Grandma replied in a shaky voice." But wait, let's look at the other contents of the box, maybe we'll find something useful in there," Louisa said and stood up from the seat.She motioned towards the scattered items on the floor.She separated the papers from the other items in there and began scrutinizing the papers one but one.Grandma Anderson just sat down and looked at her as she searched through the items." Found it," Louisa finally exclaimed as she stood up with a three paper
END OF THE NOTELouisa wiped a tear that had formed in her eyes and resumed reading the note." ….He wanted his heir to marry my granddaughter, louisa.He stated clearly that Louisa was a good girl, and because of that, he wanted his successor to marry her.I knew it was a double win for me and the family as a whole.Because I will get my granddaughter to marry from the richest family in the country, and still get a grant from them to save the face of this family.So I readily agreed.However, he told me that he had to be sure of the decision he was making, so he wanted his heir to come stay with us for a couple of years.Within those years, he will verify if Louisa is fit enough to marry the heir.The heir would come in the house as a poor boy, and I will not tell anyone about his identity.He also asked me not to tell anyone, not even you, my wife, about it. On the other hand, there were rules to that. I had to abide by those rules, or I would lose.The first was to keep his ident
THE BIG BAG OF JEWELLERY Louisa stood up from her chair and walked towards where Grandpa was sitting.Although she was crying herself, she could not bear to see her grandmother cry.She comforted grandma, trying to make her stop crying.After minutes of comforting her, grandma finally stopped crying and began wiping her tears, sniffing at intervals.Her eyes were sore red, and her face was nothing to write home about.Grandma stood up from the chair with the help of Louisa and headed out of the study.Louisa was by her side as she walked out.They both walked to Grandma's bedroom.Grandma sat down on her bed and asked Louisa to go clean the study and lock it.Louisa nodded and went out of the bedroom. She walked back to the study to go tidy up the place.She knelt beside the stack of papers and the other items of Grandpa's old box scattered on the floor.She began picking up the papers one by one and arranging the items and scrutinizing the Palmers if she could find anything useful o
VALUE ALL THE JEWELLERY " You are quite right, though. I never thought of it that way. That is going to help more than we can imagine, " Grandma replied with a smile on her face. " Exactly, Grandma. All we have to do is go and value it at the pawn shop, and we will see how much we will get." Louisa said." Nope. I remember when your grandfather died, I called one of the finest crafters in the country to come value these, and it was about a million dollars as at that time, so I guess it will be more by now " Grandma replied.Louisas face brightened up." That is good news, at least that will help bring the company back to life. So when are you taking it to the pawn shop?" Louisa asked." Let me call him right away. There is no time to waste. He will be here by himself." Grandma said and quickly reached out for her phone.She dialled a number and placed the phone to her ear.After speaking on the phone for about two minutes, she dropped the call." He will be here in the best one h
