Chapter 68"Thank you for taking him as your brother, I really appreciate," she says with genuine gratitude in her voice. Overwhelmed by emotion, she reaches out to Stephen, seeking comfort in this moment. Stephen responds with a gentle pat on her back, conveying his understanding and support. "You're welcome, mother," Stephen replies, his tone filled with kindness and affection. He acknowledges her appreciation, letting her know that he values their connection as well. "Let me not waste so much of your time," she continues, her words tinged with a touch of self-awareness. Understanding the importance of their limited time together, she shifts the conversation toward a practical matter. With a thoughtful gesture, she presents some local foods, recognizing that they might not be familiar to Stephen's parents but still worth sharing. Stephen nods his head, a warm smile spreading across his face. He appreciates the thoughtfulness behind her gesture and understands the importance of shar
Chapter 69Stephen pov"What are you going to do?" I asked with a smirk, my gaze fixed on him skeptically. "I have some records that can prove you aren't the owner of the child, just get me out of here please," he says urgently, desperation tinting his words. A disbelieving scoff escaped my lips at his sudden plea. Doubt filled me as I considered his proposal. "How can I trust you?" I asked, my smirk widening in a mix of amusement and suspicion."If I don't give you what I promised, arrest me again," he says, his voice laced with determination. I nod my head, acknowledging his words. I know there's nowhere he can escape to, our surveillance has eyes everywhere. "Fine, please release him," I say to the police chief, my tone firm yet accommodating. The police chief quickly nods his head in agreement, understanding the urgency of the situation. "One more thing, sir," he says, his voice now filled with a mixture of gratitude and desperation, before falling to his knees."I need work.
Chapter 70"Come with me, he ordered Susan, and she was amazed. "To where?" She asked curiously, her voice tingling."Do you think I am going to kill you? Your death will be completely useless to anyone, and you aren't going to die now until you leave my house." His voice neutral but probing, he walked out of the house, and she had no other option than to follow him behind. As they got to the hallway, approaching the stairs, Susan was shocked and, at the same time, miffed to see Albert. She quickly rushed down, walking past him. "What are you doing here, Albert? Her curiosity piqued, with her word demanding an answer, but he defiantly denied her that. "I invited him here, do you have any problems with that?" Stephen asked, stepping down the stairs, as he smirked skeptically at her confrontation. "Why would you do that? Why would you bring someone like him into our home?" She charged at him as Stephen burst into jovial laughter."Are you serious right now? What home are you talking
Chapter 71Stephen povI was so amused to see the message Mr. Clinton sent to him, and I made sure to reassure him because I really needed him to tell my parents the truth. I can handle the case. I dialed his number out on recording and placed the phone in my ear, and I heard his evil voice in the background.'Albert, it seems you've finally come back to your senses. What do you think you were trying to do before?" His deceitful voice demanded, from the other end of the call."Release them, or I won't take it lightly with you. Don't forget I have your daughter in my house, and I can choose to harm her, so release those people right this minute, to avoid my wrath, better do the needful, I am not joking, because if any strain happens to be in their body. You will regret it," I threatened, frustrated about his cheap behavior."Let's go inside, he's going to release them." I said it, my tone reassuring."Are you sure? I don't trust Mr. Clinton, he's dangerous" he said, fear written in his
Chapter 72Stephen POVWalking back inside the house, I noticed Susan sitting on the bed, engrossed in her phone. As I approached, her attention swiftly shifted towards me, her eyes meeting mine. A sense of anticipation hung in the air between us. I felt the need to address something important. "We need to talk," I said softly, and in response, she promptly set her phone down on the bed, her actions mirroring the gravity of the situation."What did we have to talk about?" she asked, inching closer to me, her curiosity evident in her expression. I met her gaze, trying to steady my emotions as I broached the sensitive subject. "That thing in your tommy, is it truly mine?" I questioned, my voice tinged with uncertainty. I couldn't help but question the truthfulness of her response based on our history. She hastily conjured a smile, attempting to reassure me. But I couldn't help but wonder if she thought I would unquestioningly accept whatever came out of her mouth. "Yeah, the baby is
Chapter 73"Certainly," I replied, reaching into my briefcase and retrieving a portfolio containing samples of our previous projects, along with a proposal specifically tailored for their company. I carefully handed the documents over to the CEO, allowing him to review the materials at his own pace."Do you have any experience in this industry? Or are you going to delegate the work to your workers?" he asked, his gaze fixed on my eyes. "I'm highly proficient in this field, so I'll personally handle the work," I confidently replied, and he nodded in affirmation. "Could you provide an example of a website you've built?" he asked, even though the files containing the information were already in his possession. It seems he wanted to hear me explain verbally."Our company has successfully built a website for a small and big tech start-up like 'Green Tech Solutions.' This particular company specializes in offering eco-friendly technology solutions to both businesses and individuals. The we
Chapter 74After the call ended, I quickly dug into my mail, and I was so excited to see the contract agreement. I feel a need for refreshment because my father must be waiting for me. Taking off my clothes, I hurriedly made my way to the bathroom. Anticipation and excitement were sweeping down through me, making me feel some gingles in my stomach, something that no one could snatch from me at this minute. Stepping into the bathroom, I let the water cascade over my body, providing a much-needed respite.As the cool water enveloped me, cascading over my skin, I could feel a sense of anticipation washing over me. The rush of the water drowned out the noise of the outside world, allowing me a few moments of solitude to collect my thoughts. I can't believe I am finally taking over all the wealth of Logan's, it's somewhat like a big task, but at the same time, I find myself more confident in the outside world. I turned off the faucet, and the sound of silence filled the bathroom. Wrapping
Chapter 75I cleared my tone before speaking up. "I am so excited to be here today, it's a privilege that I will be the new CEO, and I believe we all work diligently, which means we won't be having any problems, and like my dad said earlier, you can come to me whenever you have a problem. Because you don't have to be worried, I will make sure to give you the best answers you desire. I am Stephen Logan, and like I said earlier, I am happy to be here with you all" I paused, scanning through that environment for a while."If you all have one or two questions in your mind, you can confront me. I hate gossiping. We should invest our time in creating something meaningful that gives us values. And talking about business, we all know about the job we do here. We deal with websites, it's a job that makes everyone here unique. Building a website, programming, and coding isn't a very easy task, we are not all perfect, but rather we can choose to learn. I learn from you, you learn from me, and wi
