Charles drove back home, and when he got back home, he took a shower which relieved him of his tensed bones. He had a long day, and there was no time he dedicated to rest.He smoothened his hair under the shower, and shook his hair again, then he scrubbed his body a little, and walked out of the bathroom. After putting on his robe, he laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. “Tomorrow is another day.” He muttered under his breath, and shut his eyes to sleep.The next day, he got prepared for the meeting which he had been postponing for a while now; the Governor’s meeting with the board of members. He put a call through to his chief advisor which he had assigned for himself through a call.“Good morning, sir.” The chief advisor greeted, formally.“Good morning. I want you to set up a meeting with everyone necessary. Let’s meet in the conference room, and I should be there in an hour.” Charles instructed him, then hung up.He went through his wardrobe, and brought out the best suit
Charles drove back home, feeling a bit achieved for the day as he had done everything he wanted to do and they all went well.He picked up his phone while he was in the sitting room, then dialed Vera's number.“I need you to bring me the reports of those who have submitted their assignment.”“Noted. I'll do that.”He hung up, and exhaled sharply, then stood up and headed towards his room to have his bath. As he got to his room, he pulled off his clothes, and walked into the bathroom. He turned on the shower, and allowed the water to sprout on every part of his body.The water soothed him, and relieved him of all his tensed bones. For such a man who goes through so much stress, and hardly took a nap, this was a rare occurrence for him to have a nap.And he was going to use this time to go through a few files which Vera would bring soon. After having a shower, he dressed up into a more comfortable clothes.Soon after he laid back on his sofa in the sitting room, Vera arrived, and she h
Charles halted in his steps, and wondered who exactly was in there with her, or if she wasn’t the second person he was seeing, then who were the two people there?He wanted to wait to eavesdrop on anything they could be saying, but then, he feared that Rosaline could be in danger at that moment.So, he walked inside, and to his surprise, it was Rosaline, and her landlady. Charles gave a look like he was wondering why the landlady came over again, but he hoped there was no problem.“Is there any problem?” He asked, out of curiosity.“Oh! Nothing. I only came to check up on her as I do sometimes to my good tenants. I was about leaving when you came in.” The landlady said, with a smile, and walked out of the house.Charles’ gaze didn’t go off her until she was totally out of the house, and then he turned his gaze back to Rosaline.“I do hope there’s nothing wrong.” He asked again, out of concern.“No. There’s no problem. Come over, I prepared something for you.” Rosaline urged as he walk
Mr. Darwin looked at Charles with keen interest, and wondered what exactly he had to say that would benefit him a million times.He knew that Charles was a business guru, so he counted today as a rare lucky day, and was willing to do anything which Charles wanted him to do.“I’m all ears, Mr. Lincoln.” He replied, with composed excitement.“I’ll advise you not to go on with that deal anymore.” Charles spoke out, with confidence.“That’s Mr. Mark Adam. I would really love to take your advice, but Mr. mark is going to lose the money he invested if I decide to stop this deal as that’s what we signed to.” Mr. Darwin explained.Charles scoffed, and smiled as he shook his head lightly.“I feel it’s best if you cut off that sympathy, because the person involved doesn’t know how to deal business with a sincere heart. He would make you go bankrupt if you’re not careful, as well.”“Are you for real?” Mr. Darwin exclaimed in disbelief.“If you need proof about that, you’ll get it.” Charles said,
Charles wondered what she had to tell him so much that she looked a bit nervous. He understood that young people like him who are still tagged as adults could still act nervous, but seeing someone way older than him, act nervous, was surprising for him.“Are you okay?” He asked, worried about her.“Yes… yes, I’m fine. Uhm… So, I said I have something to talk to you about, and…”A call interrupted her, and Charles had to give her time to check her phone. He noticed her strange quietness, and looked at her. He could tell that her nervousness increased, and this time, it looked more like fear.It seemed to him that the call she was receiving was an important one, and probably one which relayed bad news.Then he waited for her to be done with her call before asking her if anything was wrong, hoping that she would speak out.Charles stood up, and walked around a bit, although, not far from Rosaline. He just decided to give her space, so if she wanted to spill out her emotions on the call,
Charles’ eyelids fluttered open as he gained consciousness. He looked around, and noticed he was in a hospital. He felt relieved that Vera acted fast on the issue.Vera noticed he was awake, and moved closer to him, with an expression of worry. “Are you okay now? How are you feeling?” She asked, out of concern. Charles managed to sit up, although with little pains here and there.“I’m much better, I guess. Thanks for helping me before it became too late.” “You’re welcome. So, what happened?” Vera asked, out of curiosity.“I really don’t know. All I know is I felt really weak, and dizzy as soon as I got home.”The doctor came in before Charles could continue speaking, and silence reigned except for the taps which the doctor’s shoes made.“Good evening, Mr. Lincoln. How are you feeling now?” The doctor questioned, with a slight smile.“I’m much better, doctor. What does the test say about my condition?” Charles asked as he noticed the papers in the doctor’s hands.“Oh! Well, it says
About two weeks passed, and Charles had gotten better. He had also rushed up his plan on stepping down from the governor position.He had passed it down to Mr. Daniels and people were gradually adjusting to the change. Although, some people got annoyed, but they came to forgive him for the change.Charles was in his sitting room, tapping his feet at intervals, and waiting for his guards to arrive. He had dismissed them because he didn’t think he was going to go out again that night, so he had to wait.He so much wanted to shake his father, and step brothers by letting them know that he knows they sent Rosaline to him. He wanted them to lose their confidence when the court day drew near.He knew that when they got to know that he knows of their secret, they’ll be careful in while crossing paths with him.Soon, his guards arrived, and they and Charles got into his car. The chauffeur drove them off to the Lincoln’s house, and when they got there, Charles got out of the car, signaling his
“Doctor, how is he, now?” Charles inquired about his chauffeur’s health condition.“he’s better now. Everything has been worked on. So, he’ll be fine in a few days. The bullet didn’t go deep. It only grazed a little of his flesh.” The doctor reported, trying to make Charles feel rest assured.“Oh, alright, thank you.”Charles walked out of the hospital, relieved that his chauffeur wasn’t in a critical condition.“Taxi!” He waved his hand for the taxi to slow down.As he got into the cab, he informed the cab driver of his address, and then leaned back on the car seat, with his eyes closed.Then a call came in for him from one of his guards. He answered it immediately, hoping they had gotten the name of whoever had sent those armed guards.“And how did it go? Did they confess?” “Yes, they did. They said it was Mark Adam who sent them to kill you.”“Really? I guess he must have found out that I ratted him out to Mr. Darwin. Well, this was the dumbest way to get back at me. Tell the cops
