The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 48 • Not About Games
Lola’s expression became sour as she saw the look on Matthew’s face. “I…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. My tongue has a mind of its own.” She instantly apologized, and Matthew slowly nodded. “Yeah, I bet you didn’t. Leave now.” He said. “Matthew, please. I am sorry. I just got really mad. I really didn’t mean that, " she pleaded, taking one step up the stairs. “I know. Why are we even having this conversation? I mean… you are right. We are not official. Why are you apologizing to me?” He quizzed. “Please don’t look at it that way. I’m sorry.” “Bold of you to think that being sorry can fix everything,” Matthew responded. He turned away and walked up the stairs. Lola gulped, then ran up the stairs, trying to catch up with him. “Matt, please wait. I’m sorry. Please!” She begged. “Don’t call me that, okay? Just leave me alone! I need some rest.” “Just hear me out, please,” Lola added, tears trickling down her face. “Lola, there is nothing to talk about. We are not o
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 49 • Guards Needed
Amelia stood on the balcony, craning her neck from time to time as she spied on the Winchesters, whose home was quite visible to her. She couldn’t really get hold of anything important, but she wished she could see something because she was pretty sure Vanessa had something up her sleeves.“I wish I had a telescope or binoculars or something. I have to see what that sick woman is up to.” She muttered, straining her poor eyes and standing on her tiptoes.“Ma’am, I think you should calm down.” Charles' voice said from behind her. She glanced at him, then returned to spying on the Winchester’s home.“Charles, where can I get binoculars?” She questioned.“At the mall? We could also order them as well.” He replied with a shrug.“Which would be quicker? I can’t let a thing escape my sight.” She muttered, with her fists clenched.“Ma’am, I could have someone drive down to the mall to get you a pair of binoculars, but I personally wouldn’t advise that.” He softly said, and Amelia turned to lo
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 50 • You Evil Witch
Amelia walked back to her bedroom and sat on the bed; she knew she might collapse if she stood longer. Her face twisted as she stared out into space. “W…what competitors?” she asked. The last time she checked, Houston Corps was the highest-ranking company in the country; nobody was up to their standard. “We have a new competitor. They sprung out of nowhere, and I’m afraid they are taking our customers, not just our directors.” Elena explained.“That bad?” Amelia gasped. It was even worse than she thought.“Yes, ma’am.”“I will be at the company tomorrow. Prepare every single detail for me. Do not leave anything out, no matter how bad you think it might be. Do you understand?” she stated firmly.“Yes, ma’am. I’ll be expecting you.” The disconnecting tone was heard as Amelia tossed her phone to the bed. She folded her hands and rested her chin on them worriedly.“Vanessa…Vanessa. It is you. You evil witch.” She cursed under her breath. The Winchesters were the only ones she could thi

“Hi. May I come in, please?” Vanessa asked, still grinning, making Charles wonder if the corners of her lips weren’t hurting from how hard she was smiling.“Are you looking for someone?” He inquired.“No, well actually…”Raymond came from behind Charles, and when he saw Vanessa, he frowned.“It’s you. What do you want this time? Are you here to make trouble?” He admonished, and Vanessa laughed.“Oh, come on. I come here in peace. I am only here to see Amelia. I’m sure she is expecting me. Is she in?” Vanessa questioned, peeking through the double doors as both Raymond and Charles didn’t allow her to enter the house.Raymond shut the door and chuckled.“You know, I think you should cut the crap, cut the damn act. We all know your relationship with her; she isn’t expecting someone like you. Everyone knows you both don’t see eye to eye anyway.” He stated.Vanessa had an amused expression on her face for a split second, and then she burst into laughter.“Oh wow. I see it is now a gang up
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 52 • Private Security
Matthew kept his eyes on the car behind them. It was driving at a very slow pace, but he knew it was coming after them.Where Matthew had kept his own car was at a private parking facility, which was not quite far from where they were at that moment.“Sir, you look a little fidgety. Is there a problem?” The driver questioned, noticing how restless Matthew was.“No, No. I’m good. Just focus on the road.” Matthew responded, wondering how the driver hadn’t noticed they were being followed.“Do you always have times when a particular car just keeps driving behind you?” Matthew asked after some time.“Yes, it happens.” “Because that car right there has been following us for a long time now. Whoever is driving it isn’t even increasing his pace. It feels really suspicious.” He noted and the driver looked through the rear mirror.“That vehicle?” He scoffed. “ This is a highway. It is not unusual for a car to be behind you for long hours, and you have nothing to be scared of. Well, except you
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 53 • Diversion Plan
The private jet landed at the executive airport at Puerto Rico. Unlike other of her visits, Amelia did not have a smile on her face. She picked up her small luggage and exited the jet. She always loved to carry her own luggage as it was a way of proving to everyone that she wasn’t old.Exiting the jet too was Enzo, dressed in a suit and dark shades. He looked like one who was ready to kill anyone who comes in Amelia’s way.The hotel chauffeur was waiting for them outside as soon as they got into the car, they drove off.The hotel was a small, quiet one at the side of the island, not too far from where the Houston Corps branch was located. Amelia had lunch and freshened up and then it was time for her to begin what she had come there for.She made sure her visit to Puerto Rico was kept private from the staff and directors over there as she wanted to take them by surprise. She believed that if she informed them of the visit, they would be ready to give her multiple excuses.When she ar

“What are we going to do about this now ma’am? Do we go back to New York?” Enzo finally spoke and Amelia put down the phone.“With immediate effect.” She responded, her voice thick with suppressed rage.The next morning, they were on the flight back to New York. Charles immediately went to receive her on noticing that she was back.“Welcome home Ma’am, I believe your trip was…” he was saying but Amelia walked right past him. He turned to look at her in confusion but she headed for the stairs, without even bothering to respond to his greetings.Charles found it quite unusual as Amelia was always cheerful and ready to chatter about her trips. Just then, Enzo walked in with her luggage.“What happened in Puerto Rico?” Charles questioned.“Someone has been threatening her staff.” Enzo only said before walking past him as well.Charles didn’t know the full details but he knew what that meant. His brows furrowed as he shut the door.“I knew it! I was damn right!” Amelia fumed as soon as she

Amelia pushed Vanessa away from her."Stay away from me and my family, you freak." She cursed out."You are in my home, you should stay away." Vanessa responded, with a smirk on her face. She glanced at Matthew one more time then she walked away. "Let's go." Matthew said to Amelia. He was trying to contain his anger and he didn't even hear what Vanessa had whispered to Amelia, he only knew she had said something really bad because of the expression on Amelia's face.They both didn't say a word to each other till they got back to their home.************Very early the next morning, Matthew left for Houston Corps. Lola was to resume work that day as his secretary and he wanted to be there when she arrived.He was at the office when Lola suddenly rushed in. She paused at the door, obviously startled to see Matthew already on the seat."Um...hey." She mumbled and Matthew lifted up his head to look at her."Hey? Is that how you greet your boss? Does that sound professional to you?" He sn
