Chapter 23Stephen POV"What if I told you I could get you to do my wishes?" I said, my tone threatening as it's sends down his spine. "You need a therapist. I never knew you were the best joker until now. Get out of my office" He barged the table angrily."Wait and see how it goes. I am thinking I could tell you to be afraid of me, Albert" I raven, my teeth gritted with determination."You really needs a therapist" I was about to work out when his voice stopped me."I guess you've started to do theater acting because it was surprising how you managed to put some fear into Sandra, and now you wouldn't stop your acting. I am not the type of person that you can get to bow to you with such a silly threat. Get the hell out of here and get your things ready because it's over for you in the company because of your lackadaisical behavior. You are indeed an arrogant jerk" His word pierce through every part of my body. But rather, I burst into a rancorous laughter, giving an eerie silence in
Chapter 24"Nothing," he said, his voice laced with caution. "You shouldn't just go out with her. I don't want you to have a bad record in the company." His words were filled with concern, trying to protect his friend from any consequences. However, I couldn't help but chuckle softly at his assumption. "Did you even think I am trying to date her?" I asked, amusement evident in my voice. "No, I'm not trying to date her. I can't possibly embarrass her among the other workers. I'll inform her later that I won't be going with her. Besides, I barely have time for love in my life right now."I replied to Mike, "I'm sure no girl wanted me when I was looking tattered and ugly, but now that I'm looking presentable, a girl is asking me out." Despite my sarcastic remark, a scoff threatened to escape my lips, showing my disbelief at what happened. "Excuse me," I said, interrupting our conversation and heading towards one of the office rooms. I needed to inform President Karen about the flash dr
Chapter 25"Why do you slap me? I asked angrily, I clinched my fist angrily"When did you gain nerves? You suddenly wanted to end a five-year marriage, and now that you've got President Karen involved in your silly games, how dare you think you've grown beyond control?" He dragged me by my collar, and I suddenly burst into a rancorous laughter as I jerks his hands away."Are you so frustrated right now, Mr. Clinton? I can't imagine how tensed and scared you are even when you haven't seen anything" I walked towards the sofa and sat comfortably."Stephen, you've grown some wings, right? Stand up right now." Mrs. Clinton's voice brimmed with anger. Who doesn't know this old witch does nothing? Than to shout."I guess I should be scared right, I should start shaking and begging you right, Mrs. Clinton, as my ex mother-in-law, right?" A sinister grin played briefly on my face as I let out a mockery laughter."Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, sit down and listen to me. Today I do the talking, and you
Chapter 26President Karen, her face etched with determination, left out a slight smile as she placed her delicate hand on mine. Her voice carried a mix of emotions as she replied me. "Did you think I could do something like that?" she asked, her voice revealing a hint of vulnerability. "I can't neglect my children like that. I made a difficult decision for their well-being, keeping them away from their father. But I make sure to visit them every three months. They're in good hands, with my elder sister taking care of them. And they're doing just fine now that they're 25 years old." As I listened to her words, I couldn't help but acknowledge the passage of time. Her twins, now adults, had grown up while she keeps her work and position at the company. "I am certain your daughters have grown into beautiful young women, just like you," I commented, trying to offer some admiration. But, President Karen scoffed loudly."Did I tell you they're girls?" she asked, a smirk dancing on her li
Chapter 27Getting to my turn, I gulp down as the bouncer inspects my dressing."You can go in, sir." His words gave me a bit of excitement. I was checking through the club, it was so crowded and noisy that you could see different types of people, some men with one lady or another, the single ladies, the lesbians, and the gays. I got irritated as I saw a boy rubbing the chest of another guy, playing seductive. I can't help but accept how irritated I felt. I went inside, looking around to see if Mike is close, and I heard his voice from behind. I quickly turned and walked up to him."You look so handsome I can't imagine you are this handsome" The way he says those words surges out some doubt in me."Are you a gay? Why are you checking me out? I asked skeptically. And he laughed."You are so silly, I just want to make sure that you get some highlights," he said, and I was a little confused because this was my first time to the club."Is there a game house here, or what highlights are yo
Chapter 28Pulsating with anger, her eyes narrowed into fiery slits as she glare at me. "Did you just slap me?" Her voice quivered with a mix of shock and annoyance. "You slap me with that filthy hand of yours, Stephen? How dare you?" With each word, she stepped closer, her body language radiating a potent combination of wounded pride and simmering rage. Without flinching, I met her gaze with an icy stare, my voice laced with righteous fury. "Yeah, I slapped you, and I'll do it over and over again," I retorted, each word dripping with contempt. "How dare you embarrass my girl? Who do you think you are? Do you still believe you have a say in my life?" As the words spilled from my lips, a wave of defiance washed over me. The weight of her presence, her intrusive judgment, was fueling my defiance. As realization dawned on her, Susan scoffed in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock as she struggled to process the abrupt turn of events. It was as if she couldn't fathom that I, too, posse
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
