The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 51 • Invite Appreciated but not Accepted
“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
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 54 • Granddaughter of the Winchesters
“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
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 55 • Must Sign On Each Page
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
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 56 • The Name Winchester
Raymond had no idea who Selena was but he certainly knew the name 'Winchester'."Winchester?" He asked."Yes, she has been quite helpful. She is just very young and is currently one of the biggest shareholders in Houston Corps." The head of directors replied and Raymond nodded."Okay. Is she anonymous? Don't you think we should see her first?" He questioned again."Oh, not at all. In Fact, she is just outside the door currently. Please bring her in." He turned to Lola who was the only person standing. Lola also turned to Matthew to know if she had his permission but he didn't even spare a glance at her which was a subtle hint that he didn't care. She offered the board of directors a tight-lipped smile then she walked to the door and opened it.Standing at the door was the very slender and posh Selena Winchester. For some reason unknown to Lola, she immediately had a dislike for Selena. Maybe it was because of the cruel smirk on her face or the way she brushed her aside as she walked i
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 57 • Lola Complains to Xander
Lola burst into tears as soon as she stepped out of the office. She ran down to the curb to let it all out as she didn't want Matthew seeing her crying. "Oh, yeah. About that, I actually wanted to talk to you about it. But it seems we'd have to do a physical discussion on it, or what do you think?" Xander's voice echoed as he walked down with one of his hands holding up his phone against his ear and the other hand shoved into his pocket. He walked with calculated strides as the conversation he was having over the phone looked like a really serious one. "Okay? How sure are you about that? Well, we'd talk about that soon. Could you get someone to check on my car? Yeah, the Maybach. I think it has some faults. Thank you very much, and also...." He paused as he heard the sound of someone crying from the corner. "Hold on, I think someone is sobbing around here. Let me check it out." He said. He walked down and found Lola by the curb, crying. "Let me call you back." He said as he hung
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 58 • Hitting A Woman
Matthew's eyes snapped open. Everywhere was still dark as it was in the middle of the night. He sat up on the bed and switched on the bedside lamp. His eyes darted to the wall clock to see that it was just a few minutes past 1AM and this was the fourth time he was waking up that night. He sighed and rolled over. He shut his eyes for a few seconds."Who am I kidding?" He muttered as he removed the duvet and stood up from the bed. He had been having sleep cuts as his mind had been racing with different thoughts. From Lola to Selena to why she was now a shareholder in the company. He just couldn't keep his attention on one and he believed his brain wanted answers which was why he couldn't sleep.He decided to walk out of the room to the balcony for some fresh air. He had a balcony In his bedroom but it faced the garage. Matthew had no intention of looking at cars. The back balcony had a view of nature and the swimming pool which felt more relaxing so he decided to go there.He went to t
