Chapter 64The next morningI woke up to find Susan's hand wrapped around me. With a scoff, I gently removed her hand from my body, causing her to open her eyes. "Good morning, love," Susan greeted me with a smile, gently stretching her hand towards me. "You should understand the importance of respecting boundaries, Susan," I calmly expressed. "Just as you are skilled at setting boundaries, you should also be adept at respecting them. If you dare place your arm on my body again, I'll take it as a serious offense," I warned before standing up from the bed."I'm sorry," she muttered as her voice barely reached my ears. Her apology hung in the air, heavy with contrition. "I haven't been seeing President Karen's daughter around. Where did she go?" Susan's voice broke the tense silence, her curiosity evident. "Are you asking me? Are we that close to be talking about someone else?" My brows furrowed, my expression stern. "There's nothing wrong with asking a question. I was just curious,"
Chapter 65"Sir, the given time Is too limited. There's no way I can get her out. We both know Susan and Mr. Clinton. They are very dangerous. Just promise to protect me, and I will make that happen." His conceded nervousness laced in his words as he tried to maintain his professional demeanor, causing an outburst from Stephen."Why are you suddenly afraid of Mr. Clinton? Didn't you realize that when you were sleeping around with her daughter in the bathroom?" He asked, his unraveling anger taking the better of him."I am sorry, sir; I will do something about it. I will leave now" he said, his voice breaking as he made his way out."Stop," Stephen Shouted, uneased by the situation, trying to reconsider his offer. If he's to think about it, how will it be possible for him to get rid of Susan when his father is involved? But he needed to take action, and if it means conjuring with him, maybe that will be the right decision for now."What type of protection do you need?" he mentioned, "b
Chapter 66After some minute of silence, President Karen took a spoonful of the food. "It's yours to decide now, as the chairman, you have to be very careful and know the type of people to trust." Her words were laced with warnings. "Thanks for calling, I will make sure to address this and fire him instantly. Retaining him in this company might cause us a lot. The tone was final as President Karen nodded in acknowledgement. "That's the best thing to do. People like them shouldn't be shown mercy." She added as they departed after eating to their fill.*****Albert officeHis phone rang, and he checked the caller ID to see it's Mr. Clinton's number. He picked it up. "Why haven't I heard from you? Do you want to see my wrath? Mr. Clinton's voice resonated across as the phone, his tone threatening, sending shivers down his spine"Sir, you need to be patient here, you can't expect me to get things done like that, I might get suspected. I know I owe you, but you also need to consider my j
Stephen paused for a moment, his hand resting on the doorknob of his office. With a sense of determination, he turned towards the cops,who were standing just outside. The heavy office door swung open, revealing the glimpse of Stephen's office interior. "I'll join you guys soon," Stephen stated, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. As he stepped back into his office, his gaze met Nathan's, who stood there with a troubled expression. Nathan found himself compelled to speak up, his voice sincere but hesitant. "Mr. Chairman, I'm sorry for asking this question, but I don't have a choice. I must ask," Nathan began, his tone respectful yet tinged with apprehension. Stephen acknowledged Nathan's hesitation with a slight nod, his eyes encouraging Nathan to proceed. "What exactly is Mr. Arbert's offense?" Nathan asked, his words poised delicately, balancing between respect and curiosity."He is a traitor, giving out information to Mr. Clinton," Stephen responded, his tone laced with frustra
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
