Charles was ushered into an office to wait as the bank manager was on his way to him. While waiting as he sat on the comfy sofa, it occurred to him that he had mistakenly blurted out the truth behind his source of wealth to James, but thankfully, James didn’t notice he had said something weird.He was also carried away by the joyful news Charles shared. Charles breathed out an air of relied through his mouth, and then leaned against the sofa.He checked his watch, and he wasn’t comfortable with time ticking, and all he was doing presently was waiting for the bank manager.James was meant to have traveled to France so as to meet with Mr. Lincoln, but they had arranged another person who looked very similar to the appearance which James disguised in during his video call with Mr. Lincoln.This was the moment Charles needed James the most as things were beginning to work out just the way he had always wanted for son long when he began his revenge on those who treated him wrong.“Good day
“I think he’s being too unprofessional, mother. How would he be given a job, and then unserious about it?” Tyson added, sneering at Charles.“I asked a question, Andrews. And you ought to answer without wasting a time.” Sandra said, looking at him in spite.“I apologize for coming in late, and even as I have something, I need to inform you about, this is the wrong manner and time to tell you that, but it is beyond my power to avoid this.” Charles spoke, without budging at how threatening the Lincoln family looked.“And what is it you have to say?” Sandra questioned as she crossed her legs.“I can’t continue to work here. Due to some things which came up, I have to resign.” Charles informed, and then handed over his resignation letter to them which had been written a long time before he got to work at the Lincoln’s company.Sandra and both her sons were shocked as they weren’t expecting such from him, but for it not to seem like they cared, they decided to hide their shock.“That’s muc
“Uhm… Tyson, how about you bring out your card? Hopefully it should work.” Sandra suggested with her left eyes stealing glances at the receptionists who were beginning to look like they were suspecting them.“About that, I actually didn’t take my card along.”“How would a business man forget to bring his card along?” Sandra said, under her breath, expressing her disappointment and displeasure in him.“Mother, I think we should call father. He’ll help us out of this mess.” Carlos suggested, and Sandra snapped her fingers, feeling a bit relieved, and hopeful.Then she put a call through to Mr. Lincoln who was currently having his siesta after a long day of ensuring businesses were going well.“Hello baby.” Sandra spoke over the phone.“Hello honey. How did your trip go?” Mr. Lincoln asked as he leaned on his sofa.“Actually, not going so well. The resort which I, Tyson and Carlos visited, we are trying to make payments, but none of our cards are being accepted.”“That’s messed up. How c
Tyson and Carlos’ face expressed disbelief. They couldn’t bring themselves to believe that they had actually pitched their tent in their enemy’s camp, and now that they couldn’t pay up, he could do anything that pleases him.Sandra felt so embarrassed, and all the words she had spat out, just when she didn’t know that he was the owner of the resort, made her feel more embarrassed.She cleared her throat, and tried her best to push away her pride. After all, there was nothing she could do, right now.“I wasn’t aware you’re the owner of this resort, and trust me, it wasn’t intentional.” Sandra chuckled awkwardly, trying to act nice.But even the way he had been treated when he disguised as Andrews made him more bent on ensuring that they suffered for their misdeeds.“Now that you know, I believe you know what next to do. Pay up or work here at the resort.” Charles replied firmly.Sandra chuckled awkwardly again.“Please Charles. Like I said, we are kind of stranded. Our cards have been
“So, why are you here?” James questioned without making eye contact with her.He had invited her inside as he could not bring himself to ignore her physically, or tell her to go back.“I see you ignored my texts. Anyways, it’s understandable. I understand you.” Amelia spoke as she stared around the house.“Amelia, you came here for what reason? I didn’t expect to see you waiting at my house. What if I didn’t come home?”“Thankfully, you came home.” She smiled, and my heart melted like when larva melts things down.I became speechless, and looked away, then ruffled my hair.“I actually came because I wanted to make a change. I’m tired of holding back, and running away because of someone else’s desire.” Amelia voiced out, with tears filling her eyes up.James became so emotional and all the hard cover he was trying to put up came crumbling down. “What’s going on, Amelia?” He asked, out of concern.Amelia sniffled and cleaned her tear stain with her handkerchief.“Actually, there’s a lo
Charles fluttered his eyelids again to get the situation at hand, but this time, he could see again. He gasped, and leaned on the dining table, breathing heavily like he had just escaped something sorrowful.His whole body became weak as he had been agitated from the brief blindness that attacked him, but as his sight came back and his body released the whole agitation, he became weak.He moved away from the dining room, and walked up to his bedroom, then turned on the lights, and looked at his eyes in the mirror.There wasn’t any weird thing in his eyes, and in fact, it looked as normal as it used to look.“What the hell went on back there?” He muttered under his breath, squinting his eyes in bafflement. There was only one action he could take on after this, and that was none other than to see the doctor.~The next morning, Charles got dressed up after having his bath, then he walked down the stairs swiftly, and headed towards the door.“Good morning, sir. I prepared a little somet
On getting home, Charles loosened his tie, and sat on the sofa. Because he didn’t get a solution or an answer to what he experienced last night, he cancelled all the meetings he had today.Then Martha brought him a bottle of wine, and a wine glass. He was really troubled with what happened because he knew what happened to him was blindness and not dizziness.What was even more frustrating was that all the hospitals he went to today, were the best hospitals in the city.Then the doorbell rang, and Martha went to get the door. James walked in, and met Charles drinking. He had come over because he heard of Charles cancelling all his meetings.“Is there anything wrong?” He asked out of concern as he got closer to Charles.Charles looked up at him, and sighed as he gulped down the wine in his wine glass.“I heard you cancelled all meetings you had today. I get that, that could happen, but seeing you drink is giving me this vibe like something is going on.” James spoke, getting more concern
Later that night, Charles was at his balcony, leaning on the balcony rails when he suddenly remembered there was a particular key to a safe deposit box he had retrieved from the Lincolns’ house.He needed to know what exactly his mother had kept for him there. But he was hoping deep inside that his father had not messed with it, because he would have no idea what to search for, or where to search for it as he didn’t find anything else in their house which was relating to him.Charles went back into his room, and laid on his bed, ready to sleep just so he could wake early enough to get things done.Whatever the outcome of his outing tomorrow would be, would determine if he was going to acknowledge the schedules he had once cancelled.“Mother, you don’t have to worry. If I have to swim the greatest ocean, just to retrieve all you prepared for me, I would.” Charles determined in his heart.The next morning, he rose to his feet, and had his bath. As soon as he was done having his bath, he
