Chapter 28"The only thing is if you sign the divorce papers faster, then I can consider coming back." The word tugged at my lips, and my face was filled with a tough sense of vulnerability."How can you come back when I sign the papers? That means our marriage is simply over," she said, her pride hurting."It was over before now, you were the only one still in that bondage, I have been freed before now. Mike, let's get out of here, "I said, dragging the girl along."Stephen, I will make you pay for making my friend cry, trust me" Flora words seemingly terrifying and unreasonable."Get the fuck off" I said, walking away with the girl and Stephen coming behind. Immediately after we got outside, we released each other's hands."Gosh, that was close, I nearly confessed it was a game. That lady is a witch" The lady gulps down her lumps."You did a great job inside there, give me your account details" I said as I brought out my phone from my back pocket."How much did you guys bargain? Mik
Chapter 29Monday morningThe weekend offered a pleasant and invigorating break, allowing me to recharge before diving back into the demands of work. Today marks an important occasion as President Karen will be revealing the heir at the meeting today. Understanding the significance of this event, I am keenly aware of the need to present myself in the most polished and distinguished manner possible. Regrettably, my father's prior commitments prevent him from attending, and he has requested President Karen to fulfill his role in announcing the chairman. Taking one final glance at my reflection in the mirror, a sense of satisfaction washes over me, reinforcing the resemblance I now bear to the esteemed Logan heir.I have wearing a tailored suit in a dark, rich color. The fabric is smooth and expensive-looking, and the fit is impeccable. The tie is a simple, yet elegant design that complements the suit perfectly. The shoes are polished and clean, completing the overall look. Everything ab
Chapter 30Has she disclosed my new identity? I could see the amusement and contempt among the workers as they mumbled indistinctly. My eyes meet with Mike, and he bowed his head immediately, making me get the feeling I don't understand."Good morning, everyone. It's nice meeting you all. It's my pleasure standing right in front of you today as the chairman of the Logan." I started, I took a deep breath, looking at the role of people's I will now be ruling. I didn't understand. I felt overwhelmed, contemplating if I could do this, but yes, I can do it. I puzzled up and gulped down nothing. I wanted to speak, but I tried taking a deep breath."What's going on here, President Karen? How can he be the heir of the Logan? We all know that the chairman's son was kidnapped and confirmed dead by the kidnappers. So how on earth was this possible? They never had a child. Or are you trying to put your sugar boy in as the heir?" His words triggered some fury in me, and I clenched my fist, seethin
"I am feeling good, sir," he says, his voice strained as he forces out a smile. A scoff escapes my throat, threatening to burst into laughter at the absurdity. Did Albert just address me as "sir"? "I don't think you're feeling good, Mr. Albert," I say, my voice cool and composed. As the tables have turned, I can't help but wonder how he truly feels. "Now that the table has turned around, how are you feeling?" I ask again. "I'm very sorry, sir," Albert stammers, his apology laced with remorse, I am very sure it's now cleared to him that he fûck up a big time. "I know I have committed a great offense. Please forgive me, pardon me for this, Mr. Chairman," he says, his voice filled with a mixture of regret and desperation.President Karen's phone rings out loud, causing her to momentarily break her gaze and glance down at the screen. Her eyes quickly snap up, glaring at Arbert, a clear signal of her annoyance. "I'll excuse you now," President Karen says curtly, her voice indicating th
"You don't have to thank me," I said coolly, my voice laced with a hint of detachment. "I am only doing my work, after all," I continued, my voice conveying an air of indifference. "And you shouldn't expect me to be nice to you," I added pointedly, "because you're never nice to me." As I finished speaking, he nodded his head swiftly, as if acknowledging the truth behind my words. There was a hint of resignation in his eyes, as if he had finally come to accept the reality. "I am ready to face whatever you have in store for me," he said, his voice tinged with desperation. It was as if he had resigned himself to the fact that he had no choice but to endure whatever challenges awaited him. Unable to contain myself, a slight smile danced upon my lips, a mixture of satisfaction and perhaps even a touch of amusement at his predicament. It was a fleeting momentary expression, quickly masked by my composed demeanor. "You may now return to your office," I said curtly, dismissing him with a ca
"I am sorry for stealing the document. I know I didn't deserve your mercy, but please don't fire me." His words were filled with remorse."Common Mike, you should stop this already. I don't like what you are doing, you are making me feel bad. I should be saying sorry for getting to use your false identity and for lying to you several times despite asking me," I moved closer to him, and he stares at me in disbelief. "I am the one that was supposed to be apologizing, not you" His voice crackled as I chuckled at his word."You don't have to, you are a good person with good intentions. If not for your sake, I wouldn't get to the root of Mr. Smith's games. I love the person you are, please don't stop doing good" my phrases reassuring as bit his teeth somberly.",Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman" I smirk, skeptical."I guess Stephen looks good on you. So call me that. And again I love the way you stood up for me. Some people still see me as a gold digger when I didn't even have a slight cha
Chapter 34"We came here together, but they went to see their mom, Mrs. Logan replies, and I nod positively."I guess you can't wait to see us" a lady looking more like President Karen said, coming inside. She's a tall, slim lady. She's putting on a pair of jeans and a crop top that reveal barely half of her stomach. Her tiny eyeball makes her look more like a goddess, and that curly golden hair was packed In a ponytail that gave her a bad girl look, her beautiful smile was heartwarming, and I could see President Karen's face in this beautiful creature, she's indeed a model. She walked elaborately to me, and my heart skipped a beat. "Hi, I am Nathaniel, and here comes my twin brother Nathan. I have heard alot about you lately, and I must congratulate you on this position." She said softly as I shook hands with her. Her hands looked so soft and lovely, and I couldn't understand the feeling I was getting."I am Stephen, you are welcome. I hope we have a lot of time to catch up together
Chapter 35 "I understand the financial aspect of it," she finally responded in a neutral tone, "but it's important for me to prioritize my well-being as well. I need some time to rest and recharge before taking on any new commitments." She says before clicking on the the phone, I guess she was trying to end the call. President Karen's expression softened, nodding in understanding. "Your health and well-being should always come first, my dear. They can always reschedule or find another opportunity that aligns better with your needs." Nathaniel chimed in with a supportive tone. "Absolutely, remember that taking care of yourself is crucial. There will be plenty of other amazing opportunities awaiting you." With a grateful nod, she acknowledged their understanding. Sometimes, it was necessary to listen to one's own needs."You guys should go back to the house; we will meet later," President Karen said, nodding to them. They were a lively bunch, but Natalie stood out among them, a true
