“You promised to help my family out if I slept with you but I haven’t seen any changes. My parents are still scared that someday someone might take the roof off their heads. They have pending projects to complete at work.” Violet complained in the huge penthouse.She stood naked behind Abraham who had nothing on but a robe, he was facing the river from the glass that was replacing the wall..“Can you stop complaining? We came here to have the best time of our lives. You are complaining too much for someone I want to help.” Abraham said cooly without taking his eyes off the water that seemed to be dancing to the tune of the wind.He was enjoying the view.“We have been having sex every single day since we have made this deal. I have never complained that I am tired or…”“That was because you were enjoying it.” He cuts her off. “I have been giving you the utmost pleasure in your life and I am sure no one else has ever given that to you, even your ex-husband.”“Did you look into me?”“I
“Abraham, you are back.” Cephas got up from the couch he was sitting on to go and meet his step brother. Ruth had brought him back to their estate so that she could keep an eye on him. She didn't want any stranger to know about his memory loss. His assistants were going to work, they came to see him everyday, though he didn’t recognise them.Abraham was taken aback by his brother’ gesture, they were like sworn enemies in the past, why was he acting like they were close or something.“I know you are surprised but I am desperate, that is why I am here to ask you for help.” Cephas started. “I just found out my wife divorced me and I went to her place two days ago to ask for forgiveness but she doesn’t seem to like me anymore.”“Why are you telling me this? How am I supposed to help you when I have never been married before, not to talk of getting a divorce.”“You have more experience with women. Besides the girls I had in college and high school, Violet is the first woman I was with for
“You haven’t been home since that incident, why would you let that broke man intimidate you?” Hannah demanded from her brother.Kade had kept his distance from everyone after he lost his job, he stopped hanging out with their friends and going to parties with them.Whenever Hannah informed him of an occasion, he would immediately turn it down. She was quick to notice her brother’s change in behavior. She had not asked him about it because she knew he was sad about his job.He also mentioned something like losing a chunk of money too. It has been really hard on him.“Hannah, I told you Cehpas isn’t broke several times. He is not who we thought he was. You should tread carefully around him. He is a very dangerous man.”“Dangerous man? What could he possibly do to me? That poor shit that likes that he knows the higher ups. The incident at the hotel was just him throwing tantrums that you bagged Violet.”“Stay away from that girl, She will bring you nothing but troubles. Try to stay out
Anger loomed from the CEO’s office in theWalter’s corporation. Abraham was really mad at his assistants. He had five of them and they were not able to convey a message to him before his brother found out.He knew how much the company meant to Cephas, they were still in a great shape but they had lost way too much money than he could recover before his step father returned. One billion dollars was a lot and he could not hide it from the world because the business analysis would be published publicly any moment from now.“I can’t seriously believe you guys cannot outsmart two assistants.” He barked at the head of the executive assistant team. “How did they get away with that information before it was made public?”“They had used the Magnate’s permission to go through the finances and sales. The power plant issue was a major problem.”“Why didn't you tell me about the darn power plant?” Abraham yelled, grabbing a mug from his table and he threw it at the head of the executive team.Luc
Tyla sighed multiple times while she was reading the business plan Cephas had set up for her. She had been putting in the work just like the way he wanted.The stores were already set for use. Though he had lost his memory, his assistants had been supporting the whole work. They arranged builders and interior decorators to work on the buildings .They also assigned bodyguards to go everywhere with her, initially she had rejected their offer to help her out but they insisted that Cephas was going to recover from his memory loss soon.All she would have to do was stay safe and healthy for his sake. They also assure her that they would be at her beck and call.Cephas was indeed a surprising man, even with his memory loss, he still sent people to look after her. He was a kind man with sweet gestures. She wished she had met him before he got into his marriage.At first she had been attracted to how industrious he was when he was poor and even when he was rich. He was a very hardworking man
Cephas opened his eyes, the room was white and strange to him. The strong smell of disinfectant filled his nose.He stood up quickly as memories of the black cars chasing him returned to his head. “Shit, those darn bastards.” he cursed in his head.“Arrgh” he groaned as he felt pangs of pain in his head from sitting up carelessly.“Are you okay? Is your head fine?” Tyla rushed to him and examined him. His groan had woken her up. She looked like she had been crying all day.“Get the damn doctor,” Tyla yelled as Violet, who seemed to be fixed on her cell phone.Cephas pulled her in for a hug, he had remembered how he had been treating her for a few days. “I’m okay. I am good.” He chuckled.Tears oozed out of Tyla’s face in realization that he finally got his memories back and remembered her.“Are you sure?” She sniffed and wiped her face, still hugging him.“Yeah. I am only feeling a slight pain in my head, you know.” She disentangled herself from the hug,"you call a pain in the head
The chairman of Walter’s corporation, Cephas’ father returned to the country as soon as the shareholders called for a meeting, ruining his plans of getting a week’s rest after the business affairs.It ended sooner than he expected. Knowing that Cephas wasn’t in office, he could not trust anyone else with the company for so long. In addition to Sarah's absence, the company might crash before they realize what's going on.He had left his daughter in France to finish up their business deals there and give the final speech during the summit.He was supposed to do it but he asked Sarah to do it. He walked briskly into the company unexpectedly. No one knew he was going to be present for the meeting.Fully aware that the company’s profit rate was declining and they lost a billion dollars, more chaos was bound to come. He had personally received reports from his close acquaintances that had sub companies that the head company wasn’t resolving their issues.He could have asked Cephas to work o
75Zoro opened the door to Cephas’ ward. He was sleeping in the hospital bed with his arms wrapped around a woman who had a smaller frame than him. “Good morning sir.'' Zoro greeted him knowing he would wake up immediately. He knew that Cephas was a light sleeper.“Zoro?” Cephas replied without opening his eyes or letting go of the women he was holding.“Sir?”“Is this important? If it is not, kindly wait for a while, she needs to sleep, she barely slept all night.” “I am afraid it is very important. The chairman is back in the country, and he wants you at the shareholder’s meeting right away.”“He has suspended me from work already. Why does he want me to come back? Don’t tell me the reason. I am not coming.”“Theu shareholders are going to use your memory loss to throw you off your position.”“They can pick a new CEO or COO, I don’t care.”“The chairman forecasted that they want you off the Magnate seat.”“What!” Cephas jerked up as Zoro dropped the bomb. Tyla woke in the process
