Albert’s arm was broken!All he could do was grab the broken arm, cry and groan on the floor like an injured kid.He grew up been treated like an egg, this was the first time someone was actually being hard on him, and it was pretty bad.As if a broken arm was not enough, August wanted to render more injuries, maybe break a leg and a couple of ribs.“No…Please…please don’t,” fear took course on Albert as August approached him on the floor with a tightened fist. His body was already all swollen and bruised, whereagain did he intend to punch? If at all delivered, the punch would surely kill him no doubt.Albert closed his eyes as he waited for the blow but it never came, all he heard was Tina’s weak voice.“August, don’t!”Though she was very weak, she still managed to voice out those two words. She was quite aware of the consequences of August’s actions; beating up a Wade.It may cost August his life when the family decides to take revenge, which they would surely do.In as much as Tina t
Albert had succeeded in convincing everyone in the room into believing his made up story, seemingly thanks to his mother as well, her ignorance and love for him made all of it possible.Mr Wade was greatly exasperated, his eyes were blood moon. He had always held great respect for the Does, but considering what Albert had made them believe, he felt nothing but anger towards Mr Doe and his daughter.How could a lady as young as Tina be so immodest to seduce a man in his own office. That was not the reason for his anger; she had the nerve to bring in a henchman into his company to beat up his own son, a Wade!What Mr Doe couldn’t understand was whyTina would do such a thing to his son knowing too wellshe was not just stepping on his tail but that of all the members of the Pentad billionaires."Mr Doe and his daughter has picked the wrong person to start a fight with. I'll make sure they regret the day they met my son," Mr Wade growled, curling his fist into a ball."My family and I are
“Mr Doe, we have a big problem,” the lawyer’s voice trembling as he spoke. The man was already agitated after hearing the whole Pentad billionaires were up against him, and now his family lawyer was calling to say there is a big problem. “Problem? What do you mean by a big problem?” the man in him managed to ask. His voice shaky and laced with curiosity.“Sir, the Wades have filed a case against you and your daughter, charging you with Assault and battery. And do you know who the prosecuting attorneys are? Mr Wood Kingsley himself and two of his sons,” the man disclosed quickly.Mr Doe’s jaw dropped, leaving his mouth widely open. The news sent shivers down his spine, and the mention of the prosecuting attorneys made his body to almost leave his skin; he was terrified.Everybody in the city knew who the Kingsleys were, the legal powerhouse of the city. An extended family with Mr Wood as its patriarch and over thirty intelligent lawyers, they held significant seats in the country’s
“Hello, Mr Doe. Am inspector Jack,” the inspector said pointing his badge to Mr Doe’s face. Mr Doe felt like snatching the badge from his hand and throwing it out of the window. But he was already in too much trouble already, it would be unwise to do that.“We have an arrest warrant for Miss Tina Doe, we have orders to take her to the court for her hearing,” the inspector said showing the piece of paper to Mr Doe. “Miss Tina Doe, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say here will be used against you in the court of law,” the inspector said as he approached the bed where Tina was laying on. “Arrest her!” he instructed gesturing for his men to seize her.“Stop!” Mr Doe yelped angrily. “What sort of heartless officers are you? Can’t you see my daughter is sick and admitted in the hospital? What law allows a sick person barely strong enough to stand on their own to be arrested? The doctors said she have to be admitted for two days, until then she is goi
*****Back at the hospital where Albert was administered, Mr Wade receives a call.“It’s time, the hearing will begin in thirty minutes,” the voice at the other end which was Mr Kingsley said.“Okay, I’ll be there soon,” Mr Wade said before ending the call.He turned to his wife, “sweetheart, it’s time for the hearing, let’s get going,” he said with a scorn.“No, Karl. I will not go anywhere while my son is in terrible pains. I’ll stay with him, that’s the duty of a mother,” Mrs Wade retorted.“Come on, wouldn’t you like to be present when that slut for a daughter of Me Doe is dragged away to prison in handcuffs. I promise that will make you feel better, then we can return here immediately to Albert,” Mr Wade tried to convince his wife.But she was persistent, always petting Albert like he was a five year old, no wonder he was such a feeble.“No Karl, I can’t see my son is badly hurt who will be here to tell him sorry when he starts feeling pains on his body and broken arm. Allow me t
Albert was pissed, he had August tied to a chair and stood in front of him with a cricket bat. How could he be so fearless?He brows furrowed and his eyes reddened with rage. “What is she to you that you had to take so much risk for her? Only if you turned a blind eye, it wouldn’t have come to this. She would have enjoyed herself with me and I would have given a partnership she was desperately looking for.Now because of your actions, she is going to jail only the almighty knows how long, her father will become a pauper even poorer than the poorest beggar in this city and you... You will die coldly by my hand. You should have just walked away, it’s all your fault,” Albert growled angrily.“My fault?” August snorted. “How is it my fault? You are the one that drugged her and almost raped her, you are the one that spread lies about her seducing you in her office. How is that my fault.And what makes you think she will go to jail and her father will loose a penny, nor I will die in your h
“You…” Albert startled. The phone slipped from his hand and dropped to the ground. It now made sense to him; the Mr Kane, August called was definitely the Gibson’s emissary. Of all the families in the country only the Gibson’s were capable of pulling such a thing up. But what he couldn’t understand was how August was related to Mr. Kane. “Wait a second, are you the secret Gibson heir?” he asked curiously, his mouth agape in bewilderment. Though rumors had circulated the city about a new Gibson heir after Mr. Gibson's passing, nobody actually knew who he was, as he had yet to present himself to the general public.August did not say a word but left out a cold smile, and that was enough for Albert to get the answer he inquired, he was actually the Gibson’s heir; the most wealthy and powerful person in the whole continent.He quickly dropped on his knees and forehead, kowtowing before the man he had been throwing insults at for the past thirty. He even slapped him!“Forgive my ignoranc
"Thank you, your honor," Mia sneered. "For the past ten months, Tina has persistently visited Mr Wade's office under the guise of discussing a potential partnership. However, she has secretly confessed to me that her true motive was an unending admiration for Mr Albert Wade. In reality, she was going there to charm him with her beauty. But Albert had never shown interest in her. She called me yesterday, and told me over the phone that she have had enough of Albert’s ignorance of her and she was going there today to seduce him…” Tina’s mouth dropped agape as Mia narrated the worst lie ever told in front of the whole court. Tina was completely bewildered by the lies coming out from the witch she had for a best friend all these years. There was nothing Tina despised more than seeing Albert’s ugly face. How could Mia say such lies against her? If Tina could remove the handcuffs on her hands she would walk right up to the witness box Mia was standing in, not minding whether it was a cou
