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
Chapter 76"It was a misunderstanding, he didn't cheated on me I got it all wrong"As she spoke, her voice trembled with a hint of defiance, a mix of emotions simmering beneath the surface. The room felt heavy with unspoken tension as her words hung in the air, each word hanging on the edge of truth and deception. Her eyes searched mine, silently begging for understanding. Her words stung, slicing through the air like a sharp dagger, targeting the vulnerabilities deep within. The contrast between our experiences was stark, like two parallel universes colliding in the vast expanse of our shared reality. It felt surreal, utterly incomprehensible that our paths could diverge so drastically. Curiosity tugged at my mind, pulling me deeper into the intricacies of her claim. How could a capital betrayal be labeled as mere misunderstanding? Was it denial or a desperate attempt to salvage what was left of a fractured relationship? The questions burned on my tongue, an unquenchable thirst for a
Chapter 77"Your wife is calling you, you should go now," Nathalie said, her tone laced with a hint of mock concern. "How are you?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation light. "The party has already started. What are you doing here?" she questioned, her gaze shifting over to Nathalie. "Oh, you're back," Nathalie replied, her voice filled with a mix of nonchalance and a touch of defiant amusement, as she returned the deadly glare. "Yeah, I am back. How have you been?" Nathalie responded, her smirk indicating a certain confidence."I'm good, baby, let's go," Susan said, her voice cheerful as she grasped my arm tightly, urging me to move. I managed to signal to Nathalie that we would talk later, subtly conveying my need to maintain appearances with Susan and her parents today, leaving Nathalie with a sense of confusion. "How's your visit with the doctor?" I asked, feigning genuine interest. "Wow, I'm surprised you're suddenly showing an interest in me and the baby now. The baby is
Chapter 78In the quiet aftermath of the party, as everyone retreated to their homes, I found myself in my father's room, engaged in a discussion over drinks. A sense of pride radiated from my father as he looked at me, his voice filled with admiration. "I am very proud of you, son," he said, a genuine smile gracing his lips. "You truly are my son. You have no idea how happy it made me to find out that you won the contract. Alex is a notoriously calculative and difficult person to please. I can't help but wonder what you did to earn his favor." As our words floated in the air, the room seemed to be filled with a mix of satisfaction and curiosity. The dim lighting cast a warm glow, enhancing the intimate atmosphere as the conversation continued.my father's voice maintained its tone of fondness and intrigue. He leaned back in his leather armchair, taking a sip from his glass before speaking again. "It takes a certain level of skill to win the approval of someone like Alex," he mused,
