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
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
