Chase slid the signed documents over to her and she held onto it like a lifeline."I'll have a copy sent to you. I really appreciate this, Theo," she said and he nodded with a smile.She gulped down the rest of her wine and smiled politely."I have to get going. I have an early start tomorrow," she said and placed her bag over her shoulder and started to get up."Keep in touch," Chase said without bothering to stand up."Of course," she said and scurried out of her seat.Chase watched her trying to leave and a sinister smile crossed his lips."Do you ever wonder what happens to people who lie to me?" He asked, making her freeze on her spot.Her heart fell into her stomach with his words and she slowly turned around to face him to be sure she had heard him correctly."Wh…what are you talking about?" She stuttered.She tried to think of a backup plan in case he had caught up with her.Her eyes flickered to the door and the wheels turned in her head while she weighed her options."Don't

Her mouth went dry instantly. She had expected him to curse her or call the cops on her, but what she hadn't expected was for him to actually want to hear her 'explanation'. This was because she didn't have any. She had planned everything out down to the least, but what she hadn't planned was what to say if she got caught. "I…I'm sorry," he said and bowed her head. Chase's deep and dark laughter filled the room, making her squirm. She was usually a confident woman but right there, there was absolutely no confidence left in her as she shook like a leaf in the wind. "Did you say you're sorry?" He mocked. She closed her eyes tightly and nodded, making him bark out another malicious laughter. "You wanted to get away with 'Grills 'n' Stix' by making me sign a disguised document?" He asked. Under the fake document she had asked him to sign was a document that transfered all of his shares, which means, literally handing over 'Grills 'N' Stix' to her because the restaurant was now in hi

Her eyes were as wide as saucers as she tried to piece what was going.She pointed her shaky fingers towards the figure but no word could leave past her throat."I thought we should do a little reunion before you leave, don't you think?" Chase asked in a mocking tone.Martha tried to stand up but the weight of what was going on and the dizziness she felt pushed her back to the couch.She could only watch a partially conscious Mark being rolled into the living room in a wheelchair. His face was battered with blood stains all over his shirt.Mark had tried to play off what Martha had told him earlier that day but he couldn't deny the feeling of dread at the pit of his stomach that something wasn't right. When Martha had gone out with the driver that was sent to pick her up, he rushed to pack some of his things, hoping to flee and save himself but he wasn't fast enough because the guard whom Chase had assigned to watch them had seen him trying to make a run for it and dragged him back to

"No….no…that's impossible ... .you're trying to mess with my head!" Mark yelled as he shook his head violently. "I watched him die. We buried him. It was an open-casket burial. He died. I saw his lifeless body laying in that casket. I saw him being put in the ground with my own two eyes. I saw it all happen. You're messing with my head," Mark fumbled over his words."Michelle Andersons, our mother, died while giving birth to you," Chase said, moving closer to him."You….you googled that," Mark rushed out."When you were eight, you hid our father's passport because he traveled so much and you missed him. He searched for his passport for hours and he missed his flight. You became remorseful and came to my room, asking what we should do and I took the passport from you and gave it back to dad, taking the blame for your actions and he spanked me that day," a single tear rolled down Chase's eyes as he recalled how close him and his brother were before greed for material things blinded him.

Chase had barely woken up the next morning when his phone started blaring from underneath him.He grabbed a pillow and threw over his head to block out the noise from the annoying device."Ugh!" He groaned when the call persisted and touched around till he got the phone.He read the caller's ID and closed his eyes tightly for a second.There was only one person capable of calling and disturbing his sleep by that time."Morning, grandma," he greeted in a husky voice."How are you, son?" The empress asked.She had made it a duty to call him every morning before breakfast. She was very concerned about his well-being since he wasn't under her roof and she wanted to make sure he was okay all the time. Theo understood this too, so he was always happy to pick her calls."Just waking up," he yawned."I see," the empress hummed.Chase sighed and sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. "What's up?" He asked because from her voice, he knew that there was something she wanted to talk about."Cath

Martha immediately scurried to a corner on the bed as soon as she saw him. Now that she was level-headed, the fact that he was actually her ex husband sank into her and she wanted to get as far away from him as possible but she couldn't get too far due to the constraints around her hands and legs."Leave," Chase commanded the two guards that were keeping watch."Hey, Mark," he said with fake enthusiasm and walked deeper into the room.When Mark didn't reply, he grabbed his chin roughly and forced him to look at him.His eyes were hollow and empty and he obviously hadn't gotten any sleep the previous night due to Martha's screams of pleasure."Did you like my gift? Hope you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed watching your wife get fucked because everything you felt was what I felt even more that day because I actually loved her," Chase spat in his face before throwing his head to the side.Chase went to the wall that was covered with weapons and picked a lady gun."Why is it so quiet here? I

"Welcome, young master," the security guards greeted Chase as he walked into Gab and Gabe's.It was his last day there and he had to do a routine check.Paul and Patrick cowered away in a distance at the sight of him but he had already seen them."Your new uniforms look good on you," he commented with a sly smile.The two men could only bow their heads in shame as he stared at them.Slowly but surely, they had adjusted to their new duties but even though they weren't thrilled about it and loathed Chase, they had to come to terms with it because they knew that if they were sacked, it would make a permanent stain on their resumé and they would never be able to find jobs elsewhere."Hope they aren't slacking?" Chase asked the chief security man."No, sir," he replied promptly."Fire them on the spot if they do," Chase said and walked away and dread filled the two men.The new receptionist immediately bowed her head in greeting as soon as she saw Chase and he nodded his approval before wa

"You brought this upon yourself, Catherine," he said with no sympathy."I'm sorry," she cried even more."What would you have me do?" He asked her and her eyes flickered with hope."Anything. Please just save my family. I'll do anything," she begged."Your family can't be saved, Catherine. Need I remind you that your businesses are all gone," he said with fake sympathy and her heart sank."I'll do anything," she begged.She knew that it was very much within his power to do anything and just one phone call would take them back to the top where they had fallen from but from the evil glint in his eyes, she knew it wouldn't come easy."Anything, you say?" He asked her."Yes," she said firmly without hesitation."Very well. I'll restore your family's business and name on one condition," he announced.Catherine swallowed a hard lump in her throat. She was ready to do anything to save her family but something in his voice told her it wasn't going to be an easy task.Walter, who was watching
