"So you dare try to stab me in the back?" Lucas asked Evelyn who was scared to stand up from the ground. She was shaking and wanted to reach for her phone.Suddenly, he took the phone and ended the call. "Let me go, Lucas. L… let… me go," she stuttered, trying to reach out for something to grab onto because her whole body was weak from the terrifying chills Lucas's presence gave her. "What do you mean by that, Evelyn? Why should I let you go? You are the one who betrayed me and tried to snitch on me. I won't forgive you this time, Evelyn. I promise that I won't. I may have forgiven you for all the wrongs you did to me in the past, but this time, I'm going to make sure that you pay," he swore. Tears brimmed in Evelyn's eyes. She didn't know what to do to escape her ex-boyfriend. Lucas was her previous boyfriend who always made her do bad things and commit crimes with him, but she was finally freed from his bondage and managed to make her life better so that she could take care of he
Alaric was so confused about what was happening with Evelyn. She seemed so scared, but she didn't want to say aword. It was also as if something happened here, and the entire place was messy."Talk to me, Evelyn! Tell me what happened here. I want to know the truth, and nothing but the whole damn truth,' he ordered her with a commanding voice. She stuttered some inaudible words."L… l… Lucas. Lucas," she stated. Alaric was shocked. Lucas?! What happened to Lucas? She seemed to be lost in thoughts for a while and was trying to process what to tell him. He was getting more worried with each passing second, and he wanted to know the truth, but Evelyn was too scared to say it."Tell me what happened. Lucas? What happened to Lucas? Is he alright?" Alaric asked her. She was silent for a while and tried to catch her breath. She took heavy breaths, before finally calming down a little. Alaric saw that she was ready to talk, and asked her again."What happened to Lucas? What happened her
In the hospital, Sasha was still lying in a coma, and Norton was beside her, sleeping. He was tired of having been so long with her and wanted her to wake up. Suddenly, her hand shook, and she blinked her eyes, fluttering them open after. She was still in shock due to the impact of the accident, after hitting her head against the steering wheel, and she didn't realize that she was in the hospital. She moved her fingers on the bed and tried to say something, but she was too weak to even talk. Norton didn't notice that she was awake, because he was fast asleep after being there for about 3 hours. "Ah - um… Ala…" she stuttered, and her voice was inaudible. It seemed like she needed extra energy before she could say a word. "Alaric…" she called, with a loud gasp. Norton managed to hear it and was woken by it. He didn't understand what happened, or what made the sound until his eyes rolled at Sasha, who had tears rolling down her cheeks. "Sasha?! You're awake?" He asked and ga
"Thanks for a good job done, Norton. For a little compensation, I will send you $250, 000. Check your account for an alert. If you can convince her to forgive us, then I will double the money, and send the rest to you. Just make sure that you keep our Sasha safe. Even if you have to brainwash her into believing anything, just do it. I don't want her to think we're bad parents," Mr. William said. Norton nodded. Now that was easy money. The only thing he needed to do was to make sure that Sasha wasn't angry at her parents. No matter what, he was going to make sure it happened, he thought."Alright, William. I will try my best to convince Sasha, but please, don't let my father know about this. I don't want the old man to yell at me for doing this. I'm sure he doesn't really realize what the real world is like, in his pretense of holiness," Norton said."Don't worry. Anything that is going on now it's only between us. It won't slide out of the bracket," Mr. William assured him."Thanks,
"You have to tell me the truth, Sasha. Are you still in love with Alaric? Don't tell me you have not gotten over him. Dangerous relationship with me because of that poor thing and lowlife scumbag? I am the best person for you, Sasha. Do you think you can give me up for him?" Norton asked Sasha. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't answer any of that. It wasn't the priority in her mind, because she only wanted to see Alaric because of the accident, and ask him about what happened. "You never said anything about love, Norton. Watch your tongue, it isn't so cool to insult someone in that way. This moment in life is predictable, definitely not the future. Even if he is from a port family, he still deserves our love, care, and respect from us. He deserves to be among us, and also do things that we do. We shouldn't excuse him," Sasha said."I don't care about anything you say. I just want to know the truth. I want to know if you would choose me over Alaric, and be with me, the one pe
"Lucas!" Alaric stated, and Steve took off his glasses. No way did he hear Lucas. Was the head of Wright Empire's Local Area Network and Communications team a criminal? The thoughts ran in his head. "Yes. Lucas. That was the name that Evelyn was constantly calling when she called me. I heard he works here, but I haven't even got to know him. I have only seen him once," he said. "Yes, Young Master. He works here, but I doubt that he would do something like that. I think Evelyn was right. I'm not sure that Lucas is capable of doing something like this. He has been working with us for way too long to be able to do something like that," Steve said. "Do you know him personally? You sound like it," Alaric uttered. "Yes, Young Master. I do know Lucas. He has worked with us for about five years now. He used to work with us before that time, but then, he had to leave for some reason, and when he came back, he was better than ever. Due to his skills and his competency, Sir Wright, your da
The next morning, about 6 am., Mr. Jefferson was in the Jeffersons Manor, reading his morning newspaper, and the entire servants of the house were doing their duties."Can someone bring me my morning coffee? I don't know why you guys delay it so much. I'm sure no one will take it seriously until they're fired. If I asked for my morning coffee one more time, then all of you should consider your jobs gone," he said. Immediately, a woman, middle-aged and somewhat beautiful, walked into the large living room. She had beautiful black hair that cascaded her face, and she was fair and had beautiful eyes. She was the wife of Mr. Jefferson, the matriarch of the Jeffersons Manor, and the mother of Norton and Arnold."Come on, love. Why would you say something like that? You know that all these servants are busy doing something, and you have always been efficient whenever we needed them. Come on, don't put some pressure on them," she said. Mr. Jefferson turned around to see the beautiful face
Arnold arrived at the café, looking at the sign that was visible from across the road. He crossed the road, and then, sighted Kimberly as she sat in a chair alone, waiting for him."Hi Kim," he greeted, as he walked into the café. She smiled when she saw him, but wiped it off immediately, knowing she was supposed to put on an angry face."Will you keep that pretty face like that? Come on, Kim. You know that this doesn't suit you. I'm sure that your parents don't know this ugly side because you have never shown it to them. Why are you doing this now? Will you be angry at me for long? Come on, you know that I can't live without you," he said and walked closer to her."Well, if you couldn't live without me, you wouldn't be so late. You're almost thirty minutes late. Come on, is this how you are? Always late?" She asked him, in surprise."Well, I told you that I had a lot of things to handle. Of course, I wouldn't be late if I wasn't busy," he said. "You know me. I won't miss an important
Evelyn was working in the office when suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up to see who was calling, and it was Mr. Steve. “Good day, Mr. Steve. Can I know why you are calling me? I am currently doing something at the office,” she said. “You need to come here right now, Miss Evelyn. Someone wants to see you, and she requests that you be here soon,” he said. “What? Who wants to see me?” She asked. “Someone in the household wants to meet with you.” “I don't really know if I have the chance to come because I have a lot of things to do right now, Mr. Steve. Can this meeting be scheduled later?” She asked. “It is not a business meeting, Miss Evelyn. In case you didn't hear me, I said that someone from the household wants to see you.” “The household? What do you mean by that, Mr. Steve?” She asked. “The mansion of the Wright family,” Mr. Steve said. “Really? A member of the mansion wants to see me?” She asked. “Yes. Come quickly, it's urgent. I'm sure you know where the Wright M
"And your last wish?” Norton bowed his head, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes. “My last wish…”“Yes. Tell me.”“Please, forgive me. This is my last wish.” Alaric was surprised.“What?”“Yes, young master. That is my last wish. If you can grant me these three wishes, then I don't care if I die. I will live without regrets. I just want to make sure that my mother is okay, but if I have the forgiveness of the woman I love, and that of yours, then I am satisfied,” he said. Lucas was just staring at what was going on without saying a word.“So you want me to go and give your mother money?”“No, young master. Support her in any way you can is all I ask. Please,” he said.“Consider your last wish granted. I forgive you, Norton. I have already forgiven you a long time ago. I just wanted you to learn your lessons and end it all by putting you in prison,” he said.“Thank you for this, Alaric. I will forever be grateful.” Alaric turned around to leave, and Lucas said, “Forgive me t
"These blockheads attacked me and the first thing they seized was my property. I didn't know they were eager for my money.”“Money that you earned dubiously?” “What do you mean to say by that? I worked at the company of your long-term rival, remember? My salary can feed your family for months,” Lucas said.“I can't believe that you still have the guts to boast even when you are in the police station, behind bars. What the hell is wrong with you? None of that is going to save you now, Lucas, so quit dreaming?”“I am not going to be here for as long as, loser. That, I can assure you. I will do everything in my power to get out of here. Look, son, have you thought about escaping?” He asked.“Even to the end, you are still having devilish thoughts. What makes you think that you can even escape from here?”“I was just kidding, bloke. Just know that I won't be staying here for as long as you.”“Well, only if you are proven to have committed the lesser crime.”“There's nothing to prove, bro
“Mom, Dad, look. We are finally getting back investors who left us before. They want to give us a second chance and invest in the company again. This is such great news and it's overwhelming,” Norton said, rushing down the stairs to meet his father and his mother who were in the living room. Mr. Jefferson turned around. “Really? Have our investors come back?”“Yes, Dad. Look at this, Mr. Peter said that he wants to give us a second chance and that we should not fail him this time. They want to invest in the company so that we can use the amount to produce and make a profit,” Norton explained.“That is very good news, son. You are doing a very good job when it comes to handling the company. This calls for a big celebration,” Mr. Jefferson said.“Dad, relax. We have to make sure that we get everything back before we celebrate. If we have all we need, then we can wine and dine and there will be no one to stop us. This is the first step, there will be more steps ahead,” he said.“Look a
3 DAYS LATER.Alaric was in his office going through some files that had been presented to him earlier when Steve suddenly rushed into the office.“Young master, the police are here,” he said, as he made way for them to enter the office. “Good morning Mr Alaric Wright. I am Inspector David Williams, the police officer who is in charge of the case in your company. I have two other police officers with me today, and an investigator,” he said, pointing at each one of them.“Good day, sir. I am Investigator Adam Phil,” he said, extending his hands. Alaric shook hands with the police officers.“It's good to see you all today. Our legal department reported a case and I'm happy that it's being looked upon,” he said.“Don't worry Mr Alaric. We will do our best to dig to the bottom of this,” he said.“Okay, so, how do we start?” “First of all, we have to collect the necessary information and evidence you have against the culprit. Then, you have to come to the police station to submit your s
The car pulled up at a cafe, and Evelyn wondered to herself why they had been at a cafe earlier and just arrived at another one“Is today all about drinking coffee?” She asked.“Funny joke, but no. It just happens to be my favorite venue for a meeting,” he said, as he stepped out. He went inside the cafe, and sat down, taking a table. One of the workers immediately walked up to him.“What can I get for you, sir? And your wife, ma'am?” He asked, looking at Alaric and Evelyn.“What?” Evelyn said in shock. “Wife? I'm not his wife.”“Don't mind her. She's going to be my future wife, but you know how shy women are. She's in the one I'm actually taking on a treat today. Wait a little while, the main character is coming,” he said. Evelyn, pissed by what Alaric was doing, began to mutter to herself.“Main character huh? Which means I am an ordinary character in this story. Well done, sir, for degrading me.” Alaric, seeing that she was beginning to get angry, smiled. “You know that you will
“Mr Donaldson told me himself that he was ready to take whatever penalty of his actions there was. He told me that if I wanted to kill him, his hands were wide open waiting for me. If the police would come, he would be at his house.”“So what do you want to do to him?”“He's the only one safe, father. He decided to turn from his evil ways and expose the truth. He didn't have anything personally against, and since you said none of them ever had an attack against the Wright empire, then, he is okay.”“And Mr. Tate?” He asked.“He might be the hardest to penetrate, but I will definitely find something against him,” Alaric said, his head immediately thinking of Kimberly. “Did he do anything to you?” Mr. Wright asked. Alaric was hesitant to answer the question, but he shook his head. “Nothing to the company, but to me, yes, father,” he said.“Then, what do you plan on doing to these people as a method of revenge?” Mr. Wright asked.“I want to put an end to all of them. There were so many
Mr. Wright was a little bit surprised. Something like that had never happened before and he was worried that something was wrong.“Hope everything is alright, son?”“There's nothing wrong, Dad. It’s just that I need your help for answers because I have questions that are disturbing my peace,” he said. Mr. Wright raised a brow. “Really? Then tell me, son,” he said. “Come have a seat,” he offered, pointing at the seat across his. Alaric sat down and looked at his father.“First, Dad, before we begin, I want you to promise me something,” he said.“What is that, son?”“I want you to promise me that you will tell me the truth no matter what,” he said. The question made Mr. Wright feel worried that something was wrong. “Son, are you sure everything is alright?” Mr. Wright asked again to be sure.“I am perfectly fine, father. As long as you decide to tell me the truth of the whole story, then every answer I need will be clear to me,” he said.“I promise to tell you the truth, then, son,”
Evelyn, surprised by how he was able to guess every single thing that was happening to her, tried to hide her shocked expression. “H… how?”“Don't worry, Evelyn. I told you that I would make sure you realize your love for me, and this is just the first step towards it. Look how you were able to calm me down without even doing much. That is the effect of your presence in my life,” he said. Tapping on the button that winded down the windows, he snapped his finger at the guard outside. He entered the car and ignited the engine.“Take me to the mansion. I want to see my father,” he commanded, and the guard nodded. Meanwhile, Evelyn, who hadn't said a word, rested a finger on her lips as she reminisced the feeling of Alaric's kiss that sent jolts of electricity throughout her body. The car drove to the mansion as Alaric had commanded. Evelyn was a little bit worried that he didn't decide to drop her off at the office, and she wondered why he was taking her with him.“Young master,” sh
