The next morning, Sharon left home by 8 AM to meet Aidan at home, as she was certain that he must be at home presently. However, if he isn't, then she would have to follow him to the office to plead for mercy.
That same morning, she called Aidan's phone, but it was switched off, leaving her wondering if Aidan blocked her contact or something. She was certain that his phone couldn't be switched off just like that.As soon as she got to the gate of Aidan's house, she was stopped by the gatekeeper as he went to his boss's Mom to ask if she was expecting a visitor.The gatekeeper bowed down to Mrs. Frederick, who was having breakfast with her daughter at the dining table.“Good morning, madam. There is a visitor at the gate,” he announced.“And who could that be?” Mrs. Frederick fearfully asked because of the call they received the previous day, which they were yet to tell the guards. “ Catherine, are you expecting anyone?”With fearWayne could be seen sitting on one of the chairs in Mr. Donald's office after delivering the letter that was given to him by Mrs. Frederick.“I'm not getting what you are saying, Mr. Donald,” said Wayne as he seemed lost by what Mr. Donald said.“What I'm saying is nothing but the truth. Kate resigned a day after she and the CEO came back from their trip. I tried to reach out to the CEO, but his line wasn't going through. Her boyfriend threatened to shoot me if I didn't pay the money. I was left with no choice but to pay her because there were only two days for the month to end.” Mr. Donald explained.“Why didn't you inform me?” Wayne angrily inquired. “Apart from the CEO, I don't have anybody's contact, not even his Mom. Not only that, I have never been to his house, or else, I would have come by myself.” Anger took over Wayne. He furiously clenched his fist as though he were going to punch someone.“This proves that this lady
Knowing that Aidan's news had gone viral on social media left everyone with sadness because that was the highest point of humiliation someone like Aidan can ever receive.However, there was nothing they could do to get news deleted on every platform. Even though they can do that, there was no way they could erase it from the hearts of people who had read the news.Mrs. Frederick said to the young man,“ Don't believe everything you see on the internet because most of the news is gotten from fake sources who don't know how the situation started or how it goes. Take this money to repair your car, and please do not address us as the family of a murderer. That's bad of you. It's unacceptable. I'm sure I made myself clear.”“Yes, ma'am,” the young man nodded and sought mercy,“ Pardon my manners. I was enraged, which led to me saying that, but I never meant to say it. Forgive me.”“It's okay. All I need from you now is that you should try to inform your
Sharon was desperate for this cup to pass over her. It was shameful for someone like her to go through such a condition.Without delay, she gathered all her workers in the conference room to address the current situation.“I must apologize for calling this urgent meeting, but it has to be if we want to achieve our aim.” Sharon began. “ I believe everyone here has heard of what is going on in the company, unless you haven't been punctual in your office. But before I go further, I would like to ask both the manager and the secretary about the contracts they have sent out to our partners. It's time for you to speak, please.” She informed them before taking her seat.The secretary and the manager exchanged a few words before Lucy stood up to speak.“I greet the CEO and welcome all my colleagues to this urgent meeting. If we examine everything that is happening in the company these days, we can easily tell what is happening without being told. Thankfully, the company manager and I were a
“Why are you scared? Come on, have a seat,” the young man offered while he exhaled the smoke in his mouth. “ By the way, I'm Gregory by name,” he added.Sharon didn't respond, rather, she remained dumbfounded and focused. She was conscious of what might happen hereafter.“I don't know you, and I believe that you don't know me either. So, how come you're aware of my debt, and you are willing to offer help without being asked?” she curiously asked without moving an inch from where she stood since she entered the enormous lounge.“That's not how to exchange pleasantries when you enter someone's house, especially someone who wants to help you. I thought you had manners,” said Gregory as he stood up and gestured towards Sharon after dropping the cigarette into a small iron container set on a table before him.“Wait,” Sharon sharply said,“ I can't remember telling you anything about me. How do you know whether I have manners or not?” “Keep in
Now, Antonio took Kate to clubbing. However, he had planned to surprise her at the clubAt the club, there were dim Burundi lights and white foggy smoke which set the ambiance of the lively club as the people danced to the rhythm of the music.The club has a stench of s*x and alcohol soaring in the air.Numerous ladies could be seen twirling their bodies around men.As soon as Kate stepped foot into the club, she was unsettled to the point that Antonio noticed it.“Hey, what's wrong?” Antonio curiously asked, as he raised her jaw, so she could look him in the face.“N-nothing,” she lied with a cracking voice as she fought hard to display a fake smile on her face.“Come on, you can't hide it from me, Kate.” he said,“ It's clearly written on your face that you are scared or something.”Kate couldn't say a word, rather, she stared at him right into the eyes, showing her nervousness.“But why? This is not your first time attending a club. Is it?” he scoffed at her with a whisper, and she
“What's wrong?” Kate curiously inquired after noticing how Antonio's face changed.She tried to reach out to his phone but he quickly took it away and put it in his pocket.“Ohh, nothing.” he lied. Kate stared at him right into the eyes. Even though he plastered a fake smile on his face, Kate could also tell that something was wrong and Antonio was hiding it from her.However, she wished not to pressurize him before he speaks out.Kate sighed and chuckled before she rolled her eyes.“Babe, I guess I should take you home now,” Antonio announced.“I would be glad if you do that.” Antonio smiled at her and then pecked her cheeks before he turned around and gestured towards Gregory who ladies flanked around him.Antonio stood before Gregory with his hands akimbo and looking depressed as though he lost a loved one.“Hey, man, what's wrong?” Gregory inquired as he pushed the ladies away to pay attention to Antonio. “ Do you have any more requests apart from…” “No,” Antonio sharply cut int
It has been two days since Gregory told Sharon to marry him if she wants him to help her, but she declined and left.However, she pleaded with the Celestial Finance company to give her three working days as she was still pondering how to settle the issue at hand and they agreed. She told them that she and the person who wanted to buy the company were still discussing something important, but she didn't disclose it to them. Sharon didn't just stop there, rather she went ahead to borrow from her colleagues who were also into the same business as her but she couldn't get a dime from any of them. It was as if it was planned work not to help her out of this heavy debt.For this reason, Sharon locked herself inside her room since she worked up that morning. She lay helplessly on her bed as she pondered a lot of things. Paying the debt wasn't her only problem, but she was also worried about Aidan.Just as she was thinking a
“What?”! Sharon and her Mom chorused in astonishment. “How is that possible? Uh?” Mrs. Lucinda yelled at the young man standing before them.“Mom, no need to ask such a question. Let's rush and check on Dad before something worse happens,” said Sharon, and quickly grabbed her mom's hand and led her downstairs.Just as they stepped foot in the lounge, Mr. Charles was seen helplessly lying on the dining table as the guards' leader tried to lift him.Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lucinda's body was cold and lifeless as she ran up to her husband, who was still coughing out particles of blood on the dining table.“Honey…!” she screamed to the top of her voice with shaky hands.“Dad…!” Sharon also screamed in agony. “ What happened to him?”“I have no idea, Madam,” one of the maids who always served them food anytime they wanted to have a meal.“Stop asking questions and rush him to the hospital!” Mrs. Lucinda ordered.With haste, two guards lifted Mr. Charles from the dining chair and took him o
