2024-10-29 19:42:56Sharon frowned as she crossed her arms. "Did I ask you to kneel in the first place?" She arched her brow as she asked Andi. "So you're trying to turn my daughter's back against me now?!"
"No ma'am! Not at all!" Andi responded. He rose to his feet and smiled at his wife. She was always his savior in situations like that and he would forever be grateful to her. "Mom, please don't be so hard on him. Dad asked me to gather everyone because he has an announcement to make and it's important." She said as she walked towards the dining table and sat down. The others went back to their seat but Andi remained where he was. Ever since he became poor, he didn't own a seat at the dining table anymore, he was meant to eat where no one would see him. "Don't be so nice to him sister, he's not worth anything at all, not even the slightest kindness. He's worse than that arrogant pet dog of yours." Mable said as she returned to her seat. The head of the Simmons family climbed down the stairs and joined them at the dining table. Everywhere became silent as Harold Simmons walked in. He was a no nonsense man and kept his family in order. He cleared his throat. "Good morning everyone, I have summoned you all here to announce that the golden links society is having a party and I have been chosen to host it here. It is a glamorous event and a chance for us to get closer to the top people of the society. Hopefully, meet people whose wealth is permanent." He eyed Andi just then. Four years ago, Harold Simmons had just been accepted into the golden links society, a society that was run by the Emerson's as they were the wealthiest. Harold and his wife took up the opportunity to get closer to the Emersons then and at the annual party, proposed a marriage between their eldest children. Andi's mother, Pearl, was looking into suitable young women for her thirty year old son and no woman was more befitting than Taylor who was overflowing in beauty and charisma. Even though the Simmons didn't have enough wealth to boast of back then, Pearl didn't mind. Thanks to the marriage, the Simmons had tripled their wealth but none of that mattered now that Andi was broke. Andi's face fell to the ground. Harold shook his head before continuing. "I want everything to be perfect and we have little time on our hands as it is this Saturday. Andi will be the head of the servants to keep things in check. If one thing goes wrong, I will have your head!" He threatened. Andi's head raised and his eyes met with his father in laws. He had done everything he could to avoid the golden links society parties because he knew the people would surely talk about his downfall. If he were to work the party, it would only make it worse for him to bear. He definitely couldn't. "But sir I can't, that's going to be far from possible." Harold's eyes widened in surprise. "Did you just talk back at me?!" He roared angrily. "No sir, I just can't work the party. It would be--" Before he could complete his words, a hard slap landed on his face, causing more blood to sip from his wounded lips. Harold turned red in anger as his voice thundered. "How dare you?! Who do you think you are, you insolent fool! You have no right to talk back at me! You are nothing but a church rat who eats my garbage. Do you think you have a voice? You are an animal!" Tears pricked at Andi's eyes but he fought them back as impossible as it seemed. The people who used to bow down at his feet would now order him around to fetch drinks and snacks for him. They would openly talk about how his father disappeared after his family went bankrupt and his mother who was sick with an ever piling hospital bill. The shame would just be too much for him to bear. "Sir, please..." His voice shook as he spoke. He bit his lips hard, trying to stop himself from bursting into tears, not minding the pain from the wound. "Please I really can't work the party-- I can't stand in the midst of all those people and--" His words were caught off as a single tear rolled down his cheek. He immediately wiped it off as he sniffed. Harold's lips curved into a taunting smile. "Why can't you? Are you perhaps... Ashamed? You can't bear to stand in the midst of all the people that used to worship you and your family?" Sharon let out a sinister laugh. "You are already a failure and they all know that so what difference will it make? You are trash, useless, a penniless fool with a broken home. Do you even have the right to pride?" Andi looked at his wife, hoping she would be able to save him from this one. After all, her parents always listened to her. Her lips curved into a weak smile. "There's nothing to be ashamed of my sweet Andi, life is full of ups and downs and you just happen to fall really hard. Besides, there's good news too." Her smile brightened. "Isn't your mother still short on bills? The doctor will throw her out if you don't pay up. "Well I was able to talk to my dad on your behalf and he has agreed to clear all of your bills!" She cheerfully announced. Andi's eyes widened. "All of it?" She nodded her head. "But only if you do him this one favor. So what will it be my love?" Andi fell silent. It was too much for Harold to ask for but then again, he was poor with no one to help him, shouldn't he do this much to save his mother's life? He swallowed hard.

The Fury Of Andi Emerson A.K.A Zeus ∆∆3: Caught in the act
The Emerson family had been nothing but nice to each and every one of their acquaintances. Even though they were the family at the top of the pyramid of prominent people, they treated everyone with respect and care. Andi could remember how his parents always helped other people and assisted them whenever they needed aid, the Simmons included. Those who worshiped them only did it because of what it would yield for them, not because his family demanded worshiping from anyone.If truly those people were humans then they would be nice enough to be kind to him. Maybe if he went to the party, he would actually find help amongst a few of them. It was starting to sound as a not so bad idea and hopefully, it would be. Andi agreed to work the party, if not for anything but for his mother. He tried to remain positive until the day of the party, telling himself that it wouldn't be so bad. But as the day came, he wished for nothing more than the floor to open up and swallow him. When the part

["I can't believe this... How can this happen to my family?" Andi asked, tears welled up in his eyes. Taylor took his hands in hers. "I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I don't know what happened but I know you'll be able to fix it all somehow. I promise you, I'll never love another man and I'll always be by your side." She promised. Even though his world was falling apart, he was happy to have such a woman as his wife. She smiled at him weakly before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a comforting embrace.]The memory of her promise to him resurfaced in Andi's mind as tears flowed down his cheek. Of all the people that turned their backs on him, he was faced with the worst betrayal yet. "Taylor?" He called her name just to be sure. In his mind, he had imagined yelling out her name and forcefully pulling her apart from the man she was kissing but all his limbs were weak and his lungs were sore. She broke free from the kiss and turned to face hi

Tossed into the street like the dirt they called him, Andi picked himself up and dusted his waiter outfit before deciding to head to the hospital for the night.First thing the next morning, he would be the first face his wife would wake up to see and he would make sure of it. Arriving at the hospital, he tried to sneak past the doctors and nurses but even he knew that that was impossible. "Mr Emerson?" The voice of their family doctor stopped him in his steps and the man rolled his eyes. "I thought as much." "Good evening Mr Manchester." Andi said with a smile as he turned to face the man. Stan Manchester had been his family's doctor since he could remember, yet even the man had turned his back on him ever since his family lost everything they had. It was almost like they were total strangers the way Stan Manchester treated him except, he treated him worse than he would do a stranger. "Mr Emerson, I believe you know that you are way behind on your mother's bill and the hospital
The Fury Of Andi Emerson A.K.A Zeus ∆∆6: An old friend
Lost in thoughts, Andi wandered the streets of los Angeles with a small bag on his back and no destination ahead. His life had really gone down the drain right in front of his eyes. He hated the fact that he was coming to hate his father for disappearing amidst such tribulations. "Why didn't he just stay?" He wondered. "We could have faced this as a family!" He groaned angrily. His father's company was claimed to have been guilty of embezzlement of funds and fraud and many other unbelievable crimes that caused them to fall bankrupt in the blink of an eye. He was starting to think maybe his father was truly guilty. Hours had passed since he got kicked out from his wife's house but he had nowhere to go. He definitely couldn't go back to the hospital with his belongings especially since his wife had posted it on social media. The comments made his stomach churn and anger rise in his blood. "You must feel relieved to have such a burden off your neck, congratulations!" "I celebrate w
The Fury Of Andi Emerson A.K.A Zeus ∆∆7: The hidden truth
Andi stood there, surprised. What was she ever doing in Los Angeles? "Mrs Crest!" His jaw dropped open at the sight of her. "It's Miss Lieu, my husband and I separated." She corrected him with a pleasant smile that showed she wasn't angry but Andi thought to apologize immediately. "Oh my mistake, I am so sorry. I didn't know." Lucy Lieu, beautiful and fearless. With eyes of that of an ocean storm yet an aura like a peaceful wind. Her small yet slightly plum lips always wore a smile whenever she wasn't angry and her thin eyes were forever knowing.A black suit shirt and trouser that seemed almost not her size hung on her body with the shirt's buttons opened to reveal a white top in the inside. The woman never wore heels unless she was at an exceptionally important meeting but on other occasions, no matter what she was wearing, she always put on canvas shoes of her choice.She worked with his father when the company was still fine. She was his personal assistant and most trusted
The Fury Of Andi Emerson A.K.A Zeus ∆∆8: A reason for a change
Andi paraded about in the hall while thinking of what Lucy had told him. He was a billionaire? Paper company? Why didn't his father tell him any of this? Why did he run away?!'Did he really run away? Was he murdered? Is he even alive?' He wondered as he kept going back and forth like a guard dog in front of his owner's room.The door pulled open and he finally stopped when Lucy walked out of the room. She smiled at him, "walk with me." Andi nodded his head and followed her down the hall. They stood under the moonless sky facing each other while Lucy's driver waited for her. "Are you alright?" She asked him with a concerned look on her face. "I heard about your divorce as well and trust me, I know how it feels." Andi forced a sad smile to his face and nodded his head. "My dad... Do you..."She shook her head. "I'm sorry Andi but I don't know where he is. But I want you to know this, the name of the paper company is Zeus and everything is in your name. We can build it together, you
The Fury Of Andi Emerson A.K.A Zeus ∆∆9: A tough decision to make
The air in the hall way seemed to seize as Andi tightened his fist angrily and glared at his ex wife and her new lover. What he would give for both of them to go bankrupt and know the true meaning of hell. What he had been going through. Taylor eyed him. "Look at the irritating thing glaring at us, do you think we can feel intimidated?" Her brow arched sharply. Andi still couldn't believe it. He couldn't stop himself from asking, "Justin's hatred for me, I understand but you? I just don't get it. Why do you have to treat me this way?" His voice wavered as he asked. Taylor smirked evilly, taking a confident step towards him. "Don't ask me stupid questions you already know the answer to. From today onward, don't ever try to speak to me when you see me, you're not worth my presence. Do you hate me? Want to get back at me?"Her evil laugh rang in his ears like haunting bells. "Unfortunately, you can't. No power, no money, no nothing! You're useless, a roach is more threatening than you
The Fury Of Andi Emerson A.K.A Zeus ∆10: Zeus has arrived
Lost in thoughts in his mother's hospice room, Andi felt a hand touch his and he snapped out of his thoughts. Met by his mother's weak smile, he smiled back, one only brighter than his mother's by a little. "Are you alright?" She asked him in a meek tone and Andi nodded his head. "Are you perhaps... Thinking about what your father's personal assistant told us?" He smiled and sat next to her on the bed. "I went to see her this morning and she told me some... Things. But mom, what do you think about all of this?" She squeezed his hands gently in hers. "You've been through a lot my dear Andi, you might not tell me yourself but I am more than aware of how difficult it has been to fend for your mouth alone, talk of both of us. "And I want you to be happy, I want you to take care of yourself, I don't ever want to see you suffering. And you are my son and I know that you have always been looking forward to heading the company one day." "But mom," Andi said softly. "If the world learns

∆59: House reopening
Andi woke up with a tired yawn. He had spent the entire night going through files about his company and only got a few hours of sleep. He went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. Lucy was already there, making herself some warm tea to drink. She was putting on a small short and a white spaghetti arm singlet. Her bottom and thighs were revealed. Andi walked up to her and pressed himself against her while hugging her waist. “Good morning my love.” He muttered against her ear with a kiss. She smiled. “Morning. I thought to make you some tea to replenish your strength.” “How thoughtful of you. Thank you.” He kissed her cheek. “Did you sleep well?”“Next to you, I always sleep well.” She responded while turning the content of a cup with a small spoon. His hand trailed inside her singlet and caressed her soft small breast. “I'm glad to hear that. Likewise. Shouldn't you be resting up though?”“I'm fine. This tea will replenish the strength for all the sleep you missed out

Justin's brow arched, his smile disappearing into the blink of an eye. He scoffed a laugh and buried his hands in the depth of his pocket. “You would like to call it quits after two months into the marriage? Months? Not years honey, months!” “Do you think I want to?” She asked him. “Oh so this is my fault?” He took a hand out of his pocket and pressed it on his chest as he asked her. “Yes, Justin!” She angrily responded. “You had sex with my biological sister!” She pointed at Mable as she lamented. “You told her you love her!”“She is a tool. That's all she is.” He plainly responded. “Oh, you mean a tool just like me?” Her brow arched. “Yeah, I'm tired of all these tools you keep talking about. I will no longer be your tool, Justin.” She stated firmly. “Oh trust me, you won't. For the next nine months at least. Sorry you're too months gone already so for the next seven months.” He walked towards the bed with one hand in his pocket as he talked. “What are you talking about?” Her

Taylor's eyes shone with surprise and shame. She wanted to teach her sister a lesson for messing with her in such a terrible way but Justin decided to disgrace her like that. “Are you calm now?” He asked her with an arched brow. “Do you need another one?”She stared confusedly at him. “What is the meaning of this? Justin, what is the meaning of this?! For other reasons, you can hit me, but not for this.” “Taylor, you're pregnant.” She squinted. “That I already know, why are you telling me?” Her brow subconsciously arched. Mable's jaw dropped. *You're pregnant?!”Both Taylor and Justin ignored her like she wasn't standing there. Justin continued. “What do you expect me to do? Have sex with you while you're carrying my baby? What if something happens to the baby?” “Justin,” Taylor scoffed a laugh. “I am pregnant, I am not dying! Besides, a pregnant woman needs to have sex too! It helps delivery become a little easier.”“You could get hurt!” He lashed out and she flinched at the ab

Justin and Mable flinched apart at the sound of her scream but rather than looking apologetic, Justin looked angry and Mable had a look on her face that said she didn't care. "J--J--Ju--Justin--""What are you doing here?!" Justin snapped at her. "Why the hell are you here?""Wha--I--" she stuttered. Her emotions were worse than a train wreck, she didn't even understand how she was feeling. Justin climbed off the bed and pushed her out of the room. "Get out! Get out!! You are ruining my mood by acting like a fool! How dare you interrupt my orgasm?!" "But... Justin!" Before she could talk, he slammed the door in her face and locked the door. "Come here baby!" She heard her sister exclaim. "Drive me crazy with your mad skills." She heard Justin's evil chuckle and almost immediately, they began moaning and screaming out of explicit pleasure. Tears poured down Taylor's face where she stood. She struggled with the door but it wouldn't budge. "Justin, please stop! Justin please!" "O

∆55: She screamed
They had said goodbye to Joel and Ryan after Pearl forced them to stay in time for dinner. She had prepared one of her delicious meals and they all enjoyed the food together. Andi was sitting in his study, a pair of reading glasses hung on top of his nose and his eyes were fixed on the papers in his hand. He had changed into something to sooth the cool night. A grey T-shirt and a baggy ash colored pants. His hair was a messy curls in a handsome way. A hand touched his shoulder and he looked to see Lucy standing behind him. She was putting on a bogus white top and white underwear. A smile touched her face as he looked up at her. He touched her hand with his and squeezed it softly. "Why aren't you asleep?" He asked her with his eyes returned to the paper in his hand."I could ask you the same." She walked over to a chair opposite his and sat down. "Everything okay?""Yeah, just going over some things..." He sat up straight and the paper file in his hand dropped to the table. "Hey, w

Andi heaved a sigh as he took off his suit jacket. The day had given him no break or proper rest and all he wanted to do was fall into his bed and sleep till the next day's afternoon but he couldn't because Joel along side Ryan were both waiting in the living room. He heaved another sigh as his fingers ran through his hair before walking out of his master bedroom and joining the two. "Uncle! Bro! Thank you for coming to see me so late in the night." He smirked as he spoke."Ha ha ha," Joel faked a laugh. "I know you are displeased that we are ruining your night with your wife but still, we would have left ages ago if you hadn't left us to do your billionaire people only interview." Andi rolled his eyes and relaxed into his seat. "Ha! Nice one. I just wanted to sort some things and you know, do it for my fiancée." Lucy walked in just then, still in her tight mini dress and high heels. A tray sat on top of her hand and standing on it was a bottle of whiskey and three serving glasse

Staring at their large TV, Taylor found herself wishing she could walk through screens. All she found herself thinking was 'he needs a hug right now and I should be there to give him one'She didn't care if it killed her to think that but if she could do it, she would. Not caring what Justin would do to her later. Was that part of the punishment Carla was talking about? She thought back to a time where something business related got Andi angry and upset. After expressing his anger, he just sat in his seat with a cold expression just like the one he had on TV. She still pretended to care then or did she really care?She had walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him like a baby and placed his head on her chest. Gently, she patted his back until he was feeling better. It was unexpected for him and even she didn't know why she had done it then but that very day, he stared into her eyes with so much affection. His lips curved into a smile and he stared into her eyes and he looked

∆52: Invite to the wedding
"When I started working for the Emerson family, I felt so honored that I thought I would explode with honor." Lucy started. "Then one day, Mr Kaleb Emerson introduced me to his family. His wife, Mrs Pearl Emerson, was and still is an angel in a human body. She was so nice to me. And then I saw his handsome young man with a slightly stern countenance. I would be lying if I said I wasn't smitten."Cameron chuckled. "I think if we are all being honest, Mr Andi Emerson has the looks no other man on this earth possesses. He is too handsome."Andi only chuckled softly in response. Lucy continued. "He shook my hand and told me to feel at home and then he left for school. We were both so young then. Years went by and we got to know each other better. I had fallen for him then and after so many years, when I thought about confessing my feelings to him-- whatever his response would have been-- my mother introduced me to a sweet man and he had been introduced to the Simmons for an arranged marr

∆51: I.N interview
A deep wine red dress clung tightly onto Lucy's body. Its strand for arms hung onto her shoulders and the hem of the dress was half way down her thigh. Her cleavage was revealed from the low square shaped front of the dress and her fair hands were shining. Her lengthy brown hair was parted in the middle and let loose to fall down her back and golden rectangular earrings dropped from her ear. Her collarbone was slightly outlined with make-up and her neck remained bare of any jewelry. Wrapping around her marriage finger was a diamond encrusted ring and on the index of her other hand was a thin gold ring. Dark red bracelets like her dress except a shade deeper wrapped around her hand twice like a thin tree branch and her nails were neatly trimmed and bare of any colors. Her thin eyes were outlined with a black liner and her cheeks were slightly pinked with blush. Her small lips bore a slightly deep fuchsia pink color. Andi crouched down on one knee in his deep blue green shade of su
