His mother-in-law walked around the car touching it's body and marveling in shock.“Enzo, you know plucking my eyes out right now won't change anything. Since I'm really blind at the moment, please let me keep my eyes as a decoration.” Williams said calmly. Enzo chuckled softly.“Sweetie, let it go…Just leave them since we're family, give them a break.” Lily said calmly.“Alright, I will let you guys off the hook for my wife's sake. No need to pluck your eyes or lick the tires. I just want you guys to give me a sincere apology.” Enzo said sarcastically. They nodded sharply immediately.****A man in a suit came down from the car and walked to them immediately. “Please may I know who Mr Enzo is here?” He asked.“That’s me.” Enzo said. The man walked to the car and opened the door.“Sir Enzo…please..” He said and bowed his head.

Just then Joyce's sister Mira and her fiance stopped beside him.“Xavier? What are you doing here!?" Mira asked, surprised at his dressing code and all.“Don't tell me you are looking for a job at Berol cooperation company." Greg smirked sarcastically.“Like they'd hire anybody like you.

Joyce giggled and hugged Xavier.“Okay, what did I miss!?" Greg said, walking in immediately and trying to hug Mira.“Greg! Let go of me!" Mira shouted, shaking off his hand.“Mira, look, I'm getting the Berol cooperation company deal and then we'll get married together." Greg said boastfully.“Not if Joyce gets it first?" Xavier cuts in and smirks.“Joyce? Well, that's a laugh. What does she know about this?" Greg yelled furiously.“It's true Mira, you'll just embarrass the family even more than you already have." Mira mocked Joyce. Xavier stood up immediately from his seat and faced Mira Greg and Mira, hitting the table angrily causing a tense atmosphere.“Leave her alon
fourXavier and Joyce got home and found Aunt Kisha, Mira and Greg drinking some wine and gisting happily.“Humph! Back already?" Greg smirked sarcastically.“They must have really hated your pitch!" Greg laughed.“Yeah, it was the shortest meeting in the history of the world!" Mira jested.“Okay, guys I got the contract!" Joyce said happily. Greg was stunned and sprang up immediately.“Don't lie to us Joyce." Kisha said.“It's true, And they doubled the amount they were offering." Joyce said happily.“How dare you take us as fools?" Kisha asked furiously.“I have a copy of the contract, right here!" Joyce said and placed the contract. I'm the center of the table.“Let me look at that!" Greg said and snatched the contract copy.“Ahh, this is forged!" He said immediately.“No! It's not." Joyce defended.“I knew it, This brat here is robbing off on you. Thieving scum!" Kisha said, looking in Xavier's direction.“I knew it was just a matter of time, that's it, I'm disowning you from the
FiveSoft music played in the background as everyone danced slowly, Xavier looked around the crowd and found James staring lustfully at his wife. He walked immediately and held her waist protectively.His phone beeped and he saw a message from Linda “Everything is set sir.” He smiled inwardly.“Mhm…attention everyone! I have an announcement to make, on behalf of the Berol corporation company. We've appointed a new director of the Berol corporation company…My in-law to be Greg!” Kisha announced, smiling broadly.“What!? Aunt Kisha, you can't do this!” Joyce shouted in shock.“Please step forward Greg.” Kisha added, she looked away from everyone's gaze.“But she already did Joyce, By the way, thank you Aunt Kisha, I have a few words to make everyone…” Greg tried to say, stepping forward.“Beep! Beep!” Everyone's phone beeped and all eyes turned on James.“What? What's going on? Why are you all staring at me!?” James asked in shock.“James, check the trending news! The…the value of your

Shut the hell up Greg!” Kisha yelled furiously. “Uhmmm…enjoy the party everyone!” Greg faked a smile covering up the shame on his face.…“I can't believe Aunt Kisha did this to me…I was given that deal, babe.” Joyce cried leaning on Xavier's shoulder.“Well, that's why the Berol corporation pulled the contract.” Xavier responded by patting her back.She immediately looked up at him, wiping her tears immediately.“What? How did that happen?” Joyce asked immediately, astonished.Kisha walked to them and grabbed Joyce's hands pleading “Please my lovely niece, you have to convince the secretary of the Berol corporation not to cancel the deal…” “Me?

SevenLinda walked around the company offices with Jenny showing her around the company offices and introducing employees to her.“Okay, so your job is simple, you'll just be taking calls and routing them back to me.” Linda said confidently and politely.“Ok ma'am, Do I get to meet the CEO?” Jenny asked immediately and they stopped walking halfway.“Ugh, that won't be necessary.” Linda responded nervously and they continued walking down the hallway.“What if I just…” Jenny persuaded but Linda hushed her.“You can't meet the CEO! No more questions.” Linda responded quickly. Her eyes immediately caught on Xavier who was hiding behind the door.“Let me show you to your desk.” Linda said, Jenny nodded and left with her.“Whoops! That was close!” Xavier breathed out.Linda walked away into the office of Xavier and locked the door immediately.“She is very interested in meeting you,sir.

5“Here I have solved it for you!” Kayima danced happily around the room. Everyone stared at her stunned.“Lisa, kayima solved it first. You promised $100…fulfill it.” Enzo said sarcastically. Lisa gulped hard. Williams's face tightened in anger. Lisa rolled her eyes in a pathetic manner.“Dear kayima, we didn't include you in the game. It's just a cheap Rubik's cube. It's not a Big deal!” Lisa responded. She turned to Desmond quickly.“Honey, let's go to the car and get the big toy we bought.” She added and left.“That's right! Boy, drop this trash called a toy! Only poor people play with such toys. They can never afford the toys we have” Desmond laughed sarcastically and his son threw the toy right in front of kayima. They left.“Daddy! What type of toys do rich people play with?” kayima asked.“Kayima, don't listen to their nonsense. Rich people also have Rubik's cube and play with it.” Enzo responded and kissed her forehead. She nodded and smiled.“Enzo! If you don't know anything
4“Then, this medicine is really effective and not fake!” Dr Kim responded.Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They couldn't talk, they couldn't move. They were devastated to stupor. How is that possible!“Now let me Diego keep taking this medicine. Although it can't cure him, it'll at least greatly relieve his symptoms.” Dr Kim advised.“Okay thanks for letting us know.” They chorused in unison. Their response was scanty.“I will take my leave now.” Dr Kim said. He picked up his bag and left.“I will see you out.” Williams said calmly and left with him. Others bent their heads in shame.“Unexpectedly, Enzo's medicine is effective and not fake!” Rita jumped in excitement.“Effective my foot! It's just a dumb luck!” Desmond responded with jealousy.“How the hell can a common cleaner like him know a miracle doctor? Ridiculous!” Williams said entering from the door.“Hey Enzo! Why are you sitting there? There are lots of dishes to do in the kitchen! Do you want Lily to wash the dishes by
3Dr Kim checked Mr Diego's pulse, everyone gathered around them in the sitting room. Enzo's gaze frequently met with his mother-in-law’s hateful eyes.“Dr Kim, how is my father-in-law's health?” Desmond asked concerned. The doctor dropped Mr Diego's hand and sighs in tiredness.“Dr please don't sigh like that. Is he not going to be fine?” Williams asked.“I’m sorry y'all but there is nothing I can do for Mr Diego's health and illness. You'd better spend more time with him in the future.” Dr Kim responded with bitterness. Mr Diego held his chest coughing loudly, his wife and others held him sadly.“Dr Kim, can you please check this medicine if it can cure his sickness?” Enzo asked, handing him the packaged medicine. Desmond quickly snatched it from him angrily.“Dr Kim, this loser here got this fake herb from a quack Doctor and insisted that my father-in-law take them!” Desmond said with anger and a mixture of mockery. They all chuckled. The doctor took the medicine and started to unw
2“Sir, Mr Enzo is back in a luxury car!” He said happily.“Daddy!” Kayima shouted happily and rushed out. Everyone stared at each other in shock. They all got up and left for outside.“Kayima! Come here!” Enzo smiled as his daughter rushed to hug him, Lily held his hands as they walked to the others. Mike already left with the car before they got there.“Father, I came back to celebrate your birthday. Wishing you all the best.” Enzo said. Mr Diego maintained a straight and disgusting face.“Enzo, that's so impressive of you. You're now driving a luxury and expensive car!” Rita said amidst laughter.“And I bet that car is rented! Stop acting like you're that rich!” Lisa said in a sarcastic way.“Well, after laboring for a whole year, you spent your money on renting that car? Ridiculous!” Desmond whined in laughter. Enzo faced downwards, smiling softly.“By the way Enzo, you came here empty handed? You don't even bother to prepare us a valuable gift! After making some money. Indeed you
Apologize for the late update everyone...I was sick.BlurbRejected and neglected by his in-laws, Enzo works as an office cleaner…not for long. His father, the richest man in the city, got back from the states and raised his son to become the CEO of Leo's company. Enzo vows to take revenge on those that wronged him except his wife Lily and daughter Anita who stood by him.1Enzo flagged a taxi down heading to work, it's already 7:30 am in the morning and he was running late. His phone rang loudly in the car. Passengers stared weirdly at him and his tattered looking cleaner uniform. Un-ironed.“Hello.” He said not minding the passenger’s eyes on him.“Please come home early today. It's my father's birthday, remember.” Lily said excitedly.“Ok honey, I will.” Enzo replied and hung up.An unknown number called him again, he picked it up and heard his father's voice.“Enzo, I'm at the company…come over let's discuss.” Mr Leo said. Enzo's face frowned.“Why? I don't have anything to talk a
15Xavier yelled angrily in the room. Joyce ran in.“What’s going on? Why are you shouting?” Joyce asked.“My mother lied to me. My grandfather never gave me up for adoption. She did!” Xavier shouted. “Why don't you go to your grandfather and ask him more about it tomorrow?” Joyce suggested.The next day, Xavier stormed into his grandfather's mansion. Philip stopped him by the way.“Mr Xavier, what are you doing here?” Philip asked.“I need to see my grandfather.” Xavier said hastily.“He’s not here.” Philip responded.“What do you mean he's not here?” Xavier asked.“Your grandfather died this morning. I'm sorry I was about to call you to inform you.” Philip said sadly.“He died?” Xavier asked.“He had cancer. It was only a matter of time.” Philip responded sadly.“Why didn't he say anything about it?” Xavier asked. “Because he didn't want you to pity him,” Philip said.“Huh? So we'd rather hate him?” Xavier asked. He felt a sharp pain on his heart.“He’d hope you'd come over.” Phil
14“Well, it's all yours!” His grandfather said. Xavier was about to take it when Kisha walked in with a gun pointed at them.“Mr McKinney!” Kisha said, cooking the gun.“Oh, hello Kisha.” The old man said immediately. Xavier stared at them both confused.“Wait, you two know each other?” He asked in shock.“Yes. Intimately.” The old man said.“Ugh!” Xavier responded with a disgusting face.“Well, enough of the chitchat! Thank you for getting my money ready for me.” Kisha said wickedly.“Yeah, I expected this anyway…you're always a greedy whore!” McKinney groaned.“Hmmm…. never worse than you! You know I should have married you when I had the chance. Not my stupid husband! All he did was provide debt and disappointment” Kisha said firmly.“Huh? You two dated?” Xavier asked again. His face was disgusting as ever.“Well, yeah. Back in the day, Kisha was a very desirable woman! Had to believe now huh?” McKinney added.“You know, her husband and I were college roommates.” McKinney said.“Y
13“Hello sweetie..” Xavier said with a giggle.“X…Xavier…I…I can't continue with the wedding.” Joyce muttered.“Huh?” Xavier’s widened.Joyce is tied around the chair, the solo tape on her mouth was loosen as she speaks on phone with Xavier. Kisha and Mira stood behind her holding the phone that was on a loudspeaker. Kisha pointed a gun at her head.“I can't,” Joyce added. She caught Kisha's deadly gaze and freezed in fear.“What? Why?” Xavier asked again. Greg smirked.“I..I changed my mind! Xavier, run!” Joyce shouted quickly on the phone. Kisha immediately ended the call. Xavier turned and faced Greg, he yanked his shirt vigorously.“What the hell did you do to Joyce!” He yelled with a red angered eye.“Hahaha…. nothing!” Greg said with a mockery tune.“Where is she!?” He barked.“You Want me to tell you? Give me $3 million….NO! $4 million!” Greg smiled wickedly.“Fine! There is $5 million in the briefcase there, take it!” Xavier said letting him go.“Yeah! I knew you were full o
