"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.
Still, at the Cambridge Mansion, Mr. Cambridge sat on the couch, deep in thought. His company has been declining every day. The investors have started withdrawing their investments. Things are not going the way he planned and everything is going sideways. Mrs Cambridge has been waiting for her husband since it was time to sleep. It is almost eleven P.M. and her husband hasn't come to bed. Mr. Cambridge usually goes to bed early. This was so unlike him. She decided to go downstairs and check what was keeping so long. When he got downstairs, she saw her husband sitting on the couch, deep in thought. "Hubby, why are you still outside?" She walked closer to him and said. But because her husband was in deep thought, he didn't hear her. "Hubby," she shook her and this time around she was able to pull her out of his thoughts. "Sigh…" He sighed deeply. "Hubby, what's wrong? Are you still thinking about the company?" She asked in a soft tone."Yes, the company is declining every day. No on
Eleanor had just closed from work, today was a stressful day and her body was aching all over. Bright and Jerome were still at the company but Eleanor left them. After getting off the bus, she began walking home with her aching body and sleepy eyes. The distance from the bus station to her apartment was that far. To be able to get there early, she took a shortcut where the street lights were dim and many people were asleep. "Aww, who do we have here?" She saw four drunk men walking towards her with unsteady steps. Eleanor knew she would be in danger if they came closer to her. She didn't know what to do, because the distance between where she is is very close to her apartment. If she decided to turn, she wouldn't know where to hide because she had no one over there. "Hey, don't come closer," she was so scared. "Why shouldn't we come closer?" A guy with yellow dyed hair said. The drunk guys inched closer, still smiling their malicious smiles. Eleanor tried to stay strong and tri
"If you're grateful, treat me to a meal," Nathan said with a hidden smile.Although unwilling, Eleanor, for the sake of him saving her, had no choice but to nod. "Sure, where do you want to go?""To an expensive place," he replied."Hey, I don't have enough money for an expensive restaurant," Eleanor said with a frown."Then it means you're not grateful," Nathan said, putting his hands in his pocket.The cunning man, does he know how poor I am? If I spend all the money on him, how will I get money to watch BTS? I can't miss this, but I can't be ungrateful. She contemplated for a while and decided to treat him. She glared at him.Nathan smirked when he saw her glare. She looked like an angry kitten."Well, since you want to go to an expensive restaurant, I can't afford the transportation fare. You will have to do something.""Tsk, tsk, so ungrateful. Get in. Where are we going?""I don't know. Any expensive restaurant.""Great, I have a nice place in mind. Let's go there," Nathan said
Mia had prepared everything and was ready for her task. She quickly went to where Mr. John had directed her. When she got to his house, she was surprised that Mr. John had such a big mansion. She was very angry at how he looked down on her and how he cheated on her. She was more determined to avenge herself. The mansion was even more beautiful than the Cambridge company."This cunning man; he could have afforded a million dollars, but he chose to give twenty thousand dollars. Fine, let's see how he will spend this money after he is done."A maid who was already expecting her showed her to Mr. John's room."Mr. John," she said in a seductive tone."Wow, you look really sexy. Come closer." Mr. John didn't want to waste any time in case Mia changed her mind.She slowly walked to him and held his privates. "Calm down, Mr. John, I am here for you. I have a big surprise for you. " she said in a flirtatious tone."Oh, okay," Mr. John nodded. He couldn't wait to see what Mia had for him. S
