The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 63 • Luck in the Family
Darrell was in a fancy restaurant on a date with Ashley, his girlfriend. It had been a while since they had a proper date and when Darrel had asked to see Ashley, she didn’t hesitate.“You look dazzling as always.” Darrell complimented and Ashley blushed, throwing a light punch at his shoulders.“You do as well. And stop trying to flatter me. You said you wanted to talk about something right? What is it?” She asked.“I miss you. Isn’t that enough reason to want to see you?” Darrell asked and she smiled again.“You silly man. You just missed me huh?”“Of course, I do.” He replied.“Well, I did too.” Ashley said as she stuck out her tongue to him.“I mean, I can't even blame you, I am such a missable person.” Darrell said and Ashley burst into laughter.“Oh, really now? This is how it is now, huh? And is that even a word?” “It doesn’t matter. Haha. Hey, you haven’t ordered anything yet.” He remembered and she leaned in towards him.“Um…I thought we could just go home and I’d make you a
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 64 • Make That Idiot Pay
Darrell blinked a few times in disbelief, “I’m sorry, are you saying that Matthew is a Houston?” He asked, looking at Xander. “Unfortunately, yes. I know, he’s not fit to be called a Houston, grandma just picked him off the streets one day and now the rest of us have to deal with it. I even heard he was the one that cut off your family from working with us, it must be rather sad for you,” he said and then spun around on his heel without a single care, ushering Lola towards their own table. Ashley stood there with a million thoughts racing through her mind, when did this happen? Did he know he was a Houston all along and didn’t tell her? As she and Darrell left the restaurant, he too was lost in thought. “It means that the day we went to the Houston office building, he was the reason we were thrown out like trash!” he asserted. Never in their lives would they have ever thought that Matthew would amount to someone so important. Darrell was fuming and had his hands clenched by his
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 65 • Lola's Dislike for Selena Grows
“What are you talking about?” he asked in a dangerously low tone.“I came to her house one day with flowers, she invited me in, told me she was having problems with you, and then we kissed, it would have gotten more intense but she said she was tired that day. Who knows, maybe the next time I visit, she’ll be moaning my name and grabbing the sheets,” he said and then laughed lightly. Matthew tightened his jaw and drove his fist into Xanders chin, sending him crashing to the floor. Xander got on his feet and retaliated, ramming his shoulders into Matthew and knocking him back. The two men began grappling each other in the executive suit, while everyone else got up in shock.Selena quickly rushed out of the office and ordered someone to get the security. Lola raised her head, tossing aside the files she was holding when she noticed the commotion. “Please stop fighting!” she screamed. The security guards from downstairs quickly arrived and they separated the two men. Xander had taken a
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 66• Why Are You Running?
Edward tightened the towel around his waist and moved closer to his wife, “You don’t think she would go that far, do you?”Vanessa scoffed bitterly. “There are no limits for a woman like her, and I will ensure she pays for this!” she hissed through gritted teeth and left the room, banging the door shut behind her. Edward sighed, placing his arm on his waist as he shook his head slowly. He quickly got dressed and headed downstairs only to meet his wife and daughter in the middle of a serious conversation.”We cannot wait any longer, what information do you have on them that we can use against them?”Selena sighed, “None of them in that office trust me, of course they won’t just give me access to important information.” With a lack of anything better to do, she had left the office earlier. “Then make them trust you!” Vanessa barked. “How am I supposed to do that?”“I don’t know, think of something, use that boy… Matthew, you two seem to be getting along. Pry on his weakness, gain his
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 67 • Frozen On The Spot
She was frozen on the spot, squeezing her eyes shut as she clenched her fists in fear. She inhaled sharply and then started walking in the opposite direction, putting some prep in her steps to create a safe distance between her and these strange men. But then, they started trailing her. “Wait up, hey are you running? Are you shy?” another deep voice from the group called and they all shared a long laugh which resonated in her head. Still determined to ignore them, she kept moving. She dipped her hands into her bag to retrieve her phone and it was at that moment someone seized it from her. “Hey! Give it back!” she yelled, instinctively turning around. The four men stood behind her like pillars, their eyes hungry with desire. She could see the sinister look in their eyes, and it made a pit to form in her stomach. “P- please, I just want to go home, take whatever you want,” she stuttered, swallowing the lump in her throat. “Whatever we want huh? Well, you’re the one we want.”Her kne

The next morning, Matthew was already at the office early in the morning, he wanted to get some work done before heading over to Crawford for his classes later today. He looked to his side, noticing Selena’s absence but he didn’t think much of it. He was still trying to sort out the files in front of him when he suddenly realized that his secretary wasn’t on the seat, which was strange to him. As if summoned by his thoughts, he caught a glimpse of her figure. She was marching straight to the entrance of his office. Without even knocking, she pushed open the door and strolled in. There was a strict expression on her face as she came to a stop in front of his desk. He straightened on his chair and raised his head. “Care to explain why you’re late?” he began, his tone slightly irritated. She rolled her eyes heavily. “One, I’m not late, you just decided to show up at work early, and two, I don’t need to explain myself to you because I quit.” She tossed her resignation papers on the ta
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 69 • Fix Your Fault
The rest of the morning stretched out and he couldn't focus on work as he kept thinking of Lola. All the series of messages he had sent her via text were left on delivery and she wasn't taking any of his calls. Not only did he feel deeply troubled, but he also felt like what happened was his fault. The door to his office clicked open and Elena walked in, her perfectly ironed skirt hugging her body as she neared his table. “Matthew, did you get the memo that just came in?” She asked, her voice pulling him back into reality. He shook his head slightly. “No, what was it about?” “It's about a trip to Seoul for a business meeting, it's a 3-day trip and I can't go because I have to run things here, so I was thinking you should go since you're the chairman.”He thought about it for a brief moment. “When is it?” “It’s 3 days from now, and we need to send representatives so I'll figure out one more person to add to the trip.”“Fine by me.”She was about to leave but she couldn't ignore th
The Inheritor Of The Houston Empire 70 • At His Service
Vanessa was in her car, wearing a scarf around her head with dark sun shades. Her driver moved past a lonely looking neighborhood with old looking structures and potholes on the ground.The tinted glasses of the car window concealed her identity but from the flashiness it was obvious that a rich person was going through the neighborhood. Almost everyone posed whatever they were doing to look at the car as it moved past their street. Because of how uneven the roads were, it made the ride a very bumpy one.Finally they came to a stop in front of an abandoned looking building and she slowly got down from the car. Her driver was right beside her, in a well tailored suit. She made sure to look both ways before heading into the suspicious looking building, todding her scarf around her neck. This part of the neighborhood seemed less densely populated and as such there weren't too many eyewitnesses. The driver was right behind her like a shadow as her footsteps echoed against the concrete
