Marcus instantly let go of Carmelia letting her fall on the ground, and then he turned off the shower.Jessica kept staring at both of them, and Carmelia rushed to her feet."Sorry sir" she apologized again."If you say that one more time!" Marcus was furious as he walked away from the bathroom with his wet shirt on, all the staff stared at him wondering why he was all soaked up, he ignored their gazes and walked to his car."O.M.G Carmelia, that was beautiful!" Jessica exclaimed."What?""Are you kidding me? The way the boss held you like a bride.""It's not what it seems like." Carmelia said, squeezing off the water on her cloth."Not as it seems? I bet you guys did a little quickie here?" She winked at Carmelia."What! disgusting, I would never. He's so rude." She frowned, adjusting her glass."Rude huh? I believe he went rude on you." She stared suspiciously at Carmelia."Why do you always think dirty? I missed my step and he accidentally caught me from falling.""Wow, romantic."
Carmelia left the mansion in tears, she felt hurt badly, she wiped her tears with her pink towel. She stoped a taxi leaving the premises. Marcus really spoiled her day, maybe she was the one at fault, maybe it was the way she reacted to him at the company, or maybe she was just bad.She sighed leaning backwards on the taxi seat. Her mom is sick and she had to work hard to cover up the bills and also make a living. Working as a secretary in the Blackwood's conglomerate is a dream come true, her life would change for good. But now she lost it and she had no other option to return to the NTT company as a common staff, although she wasn't certain she would return. She wouldn't want to work in Marcus's company anymore, she can't afford to see his face again to avoid humiliation.Her phone then rang, the caller was Jessica. Carmelia wasn't ready to pick the call so she just ghosted it, after multiple calls Jessica decided to send her a text instead. "What's the matter Carmelia? you aren't p
Marcus and Sam went to the site where his father's old project was, the building was incomplete and the place looked deserted."This is it, young master." Sam said."Yeah." Marcus dipped his hands in his pocket. "Uncle did say it was being claimed by someone else, but he never said exactly who. So what do we do next?" Marcus asked."Well you've got all the documents and proof to show the property belongs to the Blackwoods, I believe we should resume the project.""Great idea." Marcus said. He then proceeded to walk inside to get a clearer view, until a deep voice stopped him."Hey! Stand right there." A chubby looking man with a grey beard walked to them. "Who are you people?" He interrogated."I'm Marcus Blackwood.""Well I don't care." The man promoted, "what are you doing here?" He then asked."I don't understand your question. But this property belongs to my father." Marcus said."What're you blabbering about? This is Mr Wealth's property." The man corrected."Mr. Wealth? Who's
"How did you know?" Mr. Matthew asked, his curiosity piqued."That's not important. What's important is getting it back," Marcus insisted, his resolve unwavering.Mr. Matthew, however, seemed unmoved. "I'm sorry, Mr. Blackwood, but the government had to do something with the abandoned building. After all, it was just sitting there, and the Blackwoods were nowhere to be found. As the local government, we had a responsibility to take action."All Marcus could hear from his voice was his greed. "I don't care about that anymore Mr Matthew, all I want is a solution. I want that building back at all cost." Marcus kept a serious face."The building is now under Mr. Wealth's ownership," Mr. Matthew explained, his voice tinged with regret. "It might be impossible to retrieve it at this point."Marcus was determined to find a solution. "What do you mean by 'impossible'?" he pressed.Mr. Matthew sighed. "Mr. Wealth purchased the building for one billion dollars. I'm afraid it would be a very com
Maxwell was coming down from his stairs, all dressed up and ready for work. As he stepped down to the sitting room Hannah called him. "Hey Maxwell." He stopped then turned back. "What is it?" He asked."I need to speak to you about something." She proposed."About what?" He gave an daring glare.'She better not try to tell me to end this relationship. I'll make her pay me for everything I've spent on her before ever I can let her go' Maxwell said within his mind."Something I should have told you before now." Hannah stated. "It's about my family." She continued.Maxwell scoffed, what was she going to tell him about her family now? He's not interested he bet her family's just one of those poor people from the trenches that's always wanting to benefit from their inlaws."What about them? You need me to give them money? Open a business for your mun? Or maybe your dad is Ill and he needs urgent medical treatment?" Maxwell taunted, he really has no interest in his relationship with Hannah
"Please Lord Magnus, I swear I'm innocent, I didn't try to betray you." The man begged, tears pouring from his eyes, he was sweating and shaking with great fear. He was tied to a chair in a very dark room with little illumination."So you're saying Thomas is lying?" Magnus asked, his voice filled with dread."Yes Lord Magnus. He's trying to set me up, I can swear I never did what he said." The man cried and his nose became watery."Lord Magnus, Thomas is the real betrayal...you have to believe me."Magnus lowered his body to the man. "You dare accuse Thomas in front of me?" A very frightening voice escaped his lips.The man was shaking, sweating, he felt like his soul was about to leave his body.He was reported to Magnus for trying to snuggle from the drug he was sent to deliver to the overseas. And this was an act by Mr. Wealth. Aka Lord Magnus won't tolerate it.All of Magnus's men knew better than to betray him, but Thomas was the most trusted of all. He was always seen wearing a
THE BLACKWOODS MANSIONMarcus was seen in his office with Richard by his corner. They were trying to finalize the whole issue about the school property. Marcus had told Richard all the information he got from Mr. Matthew and his plans of having a meeting with Mr. Wealth to see if they could brush things up without violence, and Richard, already knowing who Mr. Wealth gives his own side of advice."You have to be super careful with whatever you do or are planning to do." Richard said."I will uncle, I believe if I talk to him with all my evidence of the property belonging to us he'll understand and even if he refuses I'll pay him back the money he used in buying it." Marcus replied."Mr. Wealth, also known as Magnus, is a devil incarnate. When I found out that the building had been claimed by him, I decided to not proceed in dragging matters with him.""Why?" Marcus asked"Because he's a mad man. He wouldn't stop in getting what he desires even if it requires killing anyone." Richard s
Marcus and Sam arrived with their car on the agreed place to meet with Magnus.An hotel. But when they arrived the place was dead quiet, not even the workers were present, except for many heavy armed men lined up at every corner, these are Magnus's followers."This doesn't look safe young master." Sam said with observation.Marcus noticed it too, but he's not intimidated enough to go back. "I know, let's just go in."They both entered the building, and Magnus sat at the head of a long table, a lavish spread of food and drink laid out before him. His men were scattered throughout the room, keeping a watchful eye on Marcus and Sam as they entered."Welcome," Magnus said, his voice full of false cheer. "I trust you had no trouble finding the place?"Sam cast a wary glance around the room. "This is quite the setup," he said, a hint of suspicion in his tone."Oh, don't worry," Magnus said, waving a dismissive hand. "I just like to be prepared for any eventuality. Hope you're okay with that
