At the Cambridge family, things were deteriorating every day. The company's stock had been falling consistently."Mia, you need to act fast. If it continues this way, we will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy," Mr. Cambridge called his daughter into his study room."But father, even you couldn't make him help you, how much could I?" Mia asked."I know he still loves you. He is just hurt and has not recovered. Go to his company and visit him. You can even try to seduce him. You are the most beautiful girl, and no man would be able to resist your beauty.""Father, are you sure it will work?" Mia asked with doubt."Why wouldn't it work? Just try hard to seduce him. I am sure he will fall for you. We can't keep on like this."Mia took a deep breath and said, "Okay Dad, I will try.""Very good, my daughter," Mr. Cambridge nodded with satisfaction. His daughter was finally growing.Mia left her father's study room and took a hot bath. After she was done, she put on a blue dress and we
Ok, fine," Mia took a deep breath. She had no choice but to tell him why she was there, or else she would be driven out, and it would be too late."My father's company is in trouble, and I need you to help me." Her tone was still arrogant, unlike someone who needs something from someone and has to be humble. "Hahaha, you are very Mrs. Mia. So, you think my boyfriend has nothing to do with his money? You want him to invest in your already dead company. Don't you find it ridiculous?" Eleanor said in a mocking tone.Mia clenched her teeth, wondering who gave Eleanor the power to talk for Jerome. "Bitch, I wasn't talking to you. Shut up.""Bitch, you called her a bitch? A woman who slept with another man, knowing fully she has a husband. She drove her husband out because he was poor and had found a rich man. She later killed the child and accused someone of being the killer. Tell me who is the bitch here?" Jerome said indifferently."Yes, she dares call me a bitch, but she has forgotten
"I will never do it. It will be over my dead body. Never," Mia said angrily and quickly ran to her room with tears. When she got to the room, she scattered everything in the room. "This bitch wants me to serve her; she should continue dreaming about it. Bitch, I won't forgive her," Mia said as she kept on scattering the room and throwing things. Nothing was spared. She stepped on broken glass and cut the sole of her foot, but she didn't feel any pain. She picked up a broken glass and cut her palm with it. With an evil grin, she said, "Eleanor, how dare you humiliate me today. Let's see how far you continue to be arrogant." She said with an evil grin.…Jerome's Office… After Mia left the office, Jerome and Eleanor burst into uncontrollable laughter."Boss, you are a good actor. Mia fell for our act," Eleanor said while laughing heartily.Jerome didn't say anything and was mesmerized by her smile. 'Wow, she has a beautiful smile,' he thought to himself. He wished she was his girlfriend
Those idiots, all they know is to gossip about others, while they are imperfect," Annika said in an annoying tone while walking to her office. When she got there, she sat on her office chair and fell into deep thought, pondering how to eliminate Jerome. After more than thirty minutes of contemplation, she decided to hire the best assassin in the world. To do that, she would need a huge amount, and she didn't have it unless it came from the company."How do I siphon the company funds without Jerome's notice?" she wondered. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She quickly drove to the company and called the supervisor to her office."How many fabrics are being made this month?" she asked."Boss, five thousand pieces," he replied."Ok, and when are you delivering them?""Next month.""Ok, I need you to sell a hundred pieces secretly. Don't worry; I will take responsibility when it goes wrong," Annika said."But boss, you know nothing could be hidden from the boss. I will be fired if he finds ou
"Oh no," a dart brushed his shoulders. He looked at his and cursed under his breath. He lifted his head, his eyes red from anger. "I have no time to waste on you all; you should come at once," he bellowed. As if on cue, the remaining assassins stepped out from the darkness, their faces grim and determined."And you think we have time for you either?" The man retorted.Without wasting time, Jerome closed the distance between them with lightning speed. His movements were a blur. Before the assassins could raise their weapons, he was upon them. With swift, fluid motion, he knocked them to the ground, their limbs tangled and weapons flying from their hands. They tried to rise, but he was upon them again, immobilizing them with a strength and speed that seemed superhuman. It was over in seconds.Their eyes widened. They had underestimated him, thinking he was an ordinary rich man easily defeated. Little did they know they would lose to a single person. Realizing they were defeated, there w
"What did you say?" Annika asked with a stunned expression, her heart pounding in her throat."Nothing, but my lovely cousin, why are you shaking?" Jerome said with a smirk."No…thing." Annika shook her head, wondering why Jerome was staring at her weirdly.James also stared at Jerome and then back at Annika. "What's going on between these two? Annika, is everything alright?""Yes, uncle, everything is alright." Annika wondered why she was shivering. "Nobody knows what I have done. Even if he knows, what evidence does he have?"She sat beside James and started serving herself.Seeing Annika's expression, Jerome was satisfied and fully convinced that Annika was behind the attack. "Grandmother, do you know I was attacked today?" Jerome, usually talkative, was serious."What happened?" The old lady stood up in shock, startling the rest. She rushed to where her grandson was sitting and checked his body for any injuries."Grandmother, don't worry; you know your grandson can't be defeated e
After Jerome was done, the old man stared at his granddaughter with displeasure. He was disappointed. "Grandfather, believe me. I didn't do it. It wasn't me." Annika still denied it. She was still unwilling to admit her mistakes. "Shut up!" The old man couldn't bear it and roared at her. "Why should I shut up, grandfather? You only care about your grandson and have neglected our feelings. Because he said it was in who did it, then it means I did it.'Slap!' The old man couldn't bear it any longer and gave Annika a hard slap.Annika held her cheeks with a face frozen in surprise. She didn't expect her grandfather to slap her. No matter her offense, her grandfather would never lay a hand on her. What just happened, she lost the old man's favor. "Grandfather," tears welled up in her eyes. "Annika, I am disappointed in you. Everything clearly shows you did everything but yet you have refused to admit your crime. Henceforth, you are no longer the vice president. You will be under house
Mia had been trying all means to help her father, but all was in vain. After searching for a long time, she finally found someone willing to help her. The man was the CEO of GPT, the company that collaborated with Jerome when the Caddel family almost lost their deal with the Gambia president. Mia walked to the GPT company."Good day," she greeted the receptionist."Good day, Miss. How may I help you?""I'm here to see your CEO.""A minute, please." The receptionist said and went to Mr. John's office. He told her to let Mia in.When Mia got to Mr. John's office, she saw him sitting idly in his chair."You are here, Miss Mia. I thought you wouldn't come," he said while playing with his pen."Mr. John, will you help me?" Mia asked with uncertainty."I will, but on a condition." He stood up and walked to her. He sat in front of her and stared at her with lust in his eyes."What do you want?" Even though Mia knew what he wanted, she still asked him."Of course, your body," he said bluntly.
