"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
Early in the morning, news spread about the CEO of GPT's death. People were shocked and wondered who was so cruel to kill him in such a brutal manner. "Gosh, I am afraid of the killer.""Maybe it might be one of his enemies.""I don't think so. Maybe his rival company. "What if it is the CEO of the Caddel company?" "No, I don't think so. They once had a collaboration. And even signed a new contract with him yesterday." "Sign.. people can be heartless.… At Jerome's office… "Boss, Mr. John has been murdered." Bright rushed in quickly and reported. "Murdered?" "When and how?" Jerome was surprised. He just signed a new contract with him yesterday. How come he is dead today?"He was stabbed many times. He was also naked." "I see, find another investor," Jerome said."But sir, Miss Mia, there is something strange about her recently.""Like?" Jerome inquired. "The men who had been following her said she was the last person who entered Mr. John's mansion. As for what happened, nobod
Mia had been keeping a close eye on Eleanor. There is no way she would let go of such a perfect opportunity. "Even though she was not short of money, the money wouldn't last till eternity. She needs to find a backer. She walked to the receptionist and asked, "Is everything settled? " "Yes Miss, everything is settled. I'm just waiting for him to get in.""What did I say you should do?" Mia asked again in case the receptionist had forgotten or didn't understand anything. "You said, I should give this room number to the man and give this to the woman. A beggar will enter, I should give this room key to the beggar." The waiter explained it carefully. "Good, you will do a good job." Mia smiled in satisfaction and left. Eleanor and Jerome never left each other. Jerome had the feeling that something was off with Mia. She was unusually quiet. Her gaze was mischievous. He called Bright and told him to look into what Mia was up to. After he was done, he decided not to leave Eleanor's side.
Slowly, he unzipped her dress and moved his hands downward, gently caressing her sensitive areas. As he did, Eleanor's thighs began to tremble with anticipation. "Please, hurry," Eleanor couldn't wait to taste the sweet banana. Jerome gently cupped her breast in his hand, his touch tender and soft. He leaned in and kissed her gently, savoring the moment. She shivered as his lips moved lower, settling on her breast. She sighed as he began to caress her, his touch sending a wave of pleasure through her body. He was like a hungry child sucking his mother's breast. With one hand on her breast, whilst the other on moving her downward, he finally reached her sensitive organ, slowly dipping his finger in the hot pot. This was the best feeling ever. Eleanor was above the sky. Her consciousness made him crazy as he couldn't wait to penetrate. Lifting his head and sucking her breast for the second time, he moved his head to her pussy. Bringing out his tongue, he started slowly from her clit
"Why have you all surrounded my girlfriend as if she has stolen something?" Jerome walked to them, his hands were in his pocket and his voice was calm. "Sir, your girlfriend left the party four hours ago. She was well dressed while leaving but now just look at her. Do you think she deserves you?" The lady said. "Oh, if she doesn't deserve me, do you deserve me?" Jerome's expression was indifferent. It was difficult to detect emotions. "Jerome, don't you get what they are trying to say? Eleanor is a cheap whore. And when did she become your girlfriend?" Mia tried to get closer to him but his dangerous gaze stopped her from going further. "Whether she slept with someone or not, how does it concern you guys." "You.." Something wasn't right. She slept with him just now and he should be angry at Eleanor. He was supposed to support her, why is he still protecting the bitch. Maybe he didn't want Eleanor to be hurt. Or maybe he doesn't believe Eleanor would do such a thing. "Sir, don't b
Soon, the police arrived, and the people realized he was serious. "Please forgive us. We were misled by the witch.""We are sorry, Mr. Caddel.""Please don't send us to prison. I have a child to take care of.""Oh, no, what am I going to do with my sick mother if I end up in jail?"The guests began wailing, regretting they had offended the devil. Now, what were they going to do? Jerome stared at them with cold eyes. Of course, he could make them all rot in jail, but Eleanor wouldn't want that. Well, they should at least two weeks in jail. Next time, they wouldn't say something they didn't know. The police took about fifty guests to their station.The others left, leaving Mia, Eleanor, and Jerome."Mia, I have been tolerating you for a long time, and do you think I will forgive you this time? You dare to plot against me. Very good." Jerome grinned. Nothing showed he was angry or happy. It was difficult for Mia to know what he was thinking, especially with his harmless grin.Eleanor slo
She resents her daughter so much.Eleanor held her cheek but still refused to cry. "You shouldn't have given birth to me if you knew you wouldn't like me. This slap is my last payment. A mother who can sell her daughter to her enemy doesn't deserve to be a mother. From now onwards, Eleanor Morgan has no mother. My mother is dead," she said and left the house without looking back.Mrs. Morgan scoffed. "Manipulating you? You ungrateful child. Get out of my house!" Eleanor left, carrying her documents, leaving behind a toxic past. As she walked away, she felt a mix of emotions – anger, sorrow, and relief. She couldn't change her past, but she could shape her future.Back at her apartment, Eleanor found herself reflecting on her life. Jerome's proposal to register their marriage still echoed in her mind. Despite the chaos with her family, she was determined to start anew.No matter what, she wouldn't cry. Her mother has caused her too much suffering; she doesn't deserve this. She took the
TWO DAYS LATERIt's been two days, and the news about Jerome's disappearance is everywhere. TV stations are reporting on it every hour, making it the hot topic of the city. The police have been working non-stop to find any traces of Jerome, but so far, there's been no progress.In the Cadell's mansion that evening, Steve and Gaius were present, visiting frequently. The old master, however, was visibly distressed, sighing every few seconds out of worry and fear."Is there anywhere else you think he might be?" the old master asked Steve and Gaius."No," Daniel replied."Sir," a guard interrupted, entering the room."The cops are here," the guard reported.Sitting on the balcony upstairs, they watched as four cops entered, and the old master stood up expectantly."Any news?" he asked."We found this... by the bridge," one of the cops said, handing over a piece of note to the old master."What is this?" the old master asked, his hands shaking."It's a supposed suicide note written by your
Steve stayed back with Gaius and his family, as well as Jasmine. Jasmine has been crying nonstop, Steve tried consoling her it seems too difficult. Gaius watched his friend suffer and feel uneasy trying to calm Jasmine down."Fuck this is frustrating!! Why does she cry too much? Does she have an ocean under her eyes?" Steve mumbled under his breath with a frown.Gaius helped him out by putting Jasmine's head on his shoulder and taking Steve's hand to stroke her hair gently. She came down shortly and Steve smiled, not long after sleep took over her and Steve positioned her well on the couch, allowing her head to sleep on his lap as he continued stroking her hair.Her beautiful face caught him and Steve began staring at her full eyebrows, nice nose, and such lovely lips too. He didn't know what was going on but his heartbeat is racing abnormally right now.Jerome had called the guys earlier and told them he would spend the night in the hospital with Eleanor since she had been attended t
Jerome had already told Eleanor about Jasmine's consciousness so she insisted they go visit her today.Sje was so excited that she couldn't wait to see her. She prayed a silent prayer thanking God for giving her a second chance.They are currently in Jerome's car on their way to see her. Jerome's phone rang and Eleanor had to pick it up for him since he was driving.She put it on loudspeaker so that he could hear “Man. You guys are going to keep me here till night falls right?" Gauis fumed over the phone" What are you talking about? " Jerome asked innocently."Don't tell me you forgot?" Gaius said."What day is today? I don't remember today being any special or am I missing out on something?" Jerome asked clueless.“What hell with you Jerome!!! We were supposed to go and pick up my family today, can't believe you forgot," Gaius said, annoyed already."Shoot!!! I'm so sorry man. Take the lead I will join you soon I promise. Have you called Steve though? I bet that lazy bone is still s
"All eyes fell on James, somehow they were happy he was here because he was the only one who could handle Stanley's madness.""Have you gone nuts? Do you want to kill your grandpa, someone who cared for you as an infant even though he has never liked existence? He did his best by giving you capital to start a new life. You wasted the money and showed your stupid face here like the burden you are, and now you want to kill him? I swear to anything you hold sacred, if you do not put that gun down, I promise you will regret it, little boy," James barked at him.In a normal circumstance, Stanley would have thrown the gun away as soon as James scolded him, but this time around, he had a smirk plastered on his face. He started laughing maniacally, showcasing his madness."You fool, do you think the little stunts you pull still affect me? Grow up, man. Those empty threats of yours don't affect me anymore. I will advise you to clear my way, or do you want to die in his place?" Stanley glared a
"How did all this happen right under my nose without my notice?" the old master said with shock."You have a good mindset, Grandpa, but it doesn't mean everybody's like you. James chose to take the part of envy. You did not choose for him, so do not blame yourself. As for Annika, she is just a green snake in the grass," Steve said, trying to calm the old man down."I knew that Annika's silence was a threat, but I never expected her to join forces with James. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised. I expected one thing or another from her," Jerome said without concern."Steve, can you tell me exactly how you managed to get them together?" the old man asked."Before grandma left this morning, I was with her in the house when James and Annika came down together, ready for work. I got suspicious, so I asked Grandma when the both of them became that close... She replied that it started not long ago, but from her speech, I could sense she was happy at the new bonding. I don't know why, but somehow
Steve went straight to Cadell's company, needing to see Jerome immediately. He had been avoiding the fight that had arisen between himself and Jerome, but he was lucky enough Eleanor had talked to Jerome on his behalf, so they were fine now."Is your boss in?" Steve asked as he chanced upon Bright, who was just coming out of the elevator."Yes, he is in. Should I inform him about your arrival? He is currently in a meeting with the company board," Bright answered."Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for him in his office," Steve smiled.Bright escorted him to Jerome's office, offered him a glass of water, and excused himself to continue his work.James came in with Anika, rushing to the meeting room, which ended abruptly at their arrival. All the board members stared at them with disdain."Why are you just coming, Mr. James, and Miss Anika?" One of them asked with a frown."Had to take care of some personal stuff," James answered simply."What about you, Anika?" Another person
Steve has now become a frequent visitor in the Cadell's mansion, both for the old lady's sake and also to observe Annika as well.Anytime he visits, he spends some time with the old lady, and this makes her so happy. She always has a new story to tell of her youthful days.Eleanor and Jerome had left early that morning because they had work."I do not see you busy of late," the old lady asked curiously."I took a break from work; my second-in-command is taking care of everything perfectly. He contacts me anytime he has difficulties," Steve explained."Okay, I was just wondering because the Steve I know is a busy person who has no time to spare," the old lady chuckled.There was silence in the room till the old lady spoke again."Why don't you use this opportunity and find yourself a lady who will take care of you? I know everyone has been urging you to get married, and you find it irritating, but let me give you a clue on what a partner in your life can do for you. She is going to be
Jerome and Eleanor were still in Jerome's grandparents' house when a call came to Jerome's phone. He excused himself to take it; it was a call from the doctor who is taking care of Jasmine."Why are you calling me at this hour? Do you need anything?" Jerome asked."I have good news for you instead, the lady you asked me to be taking care of is awake," the doctor broke the news."Finally, I can rest. It took her long enough," Jerome breathed out."What should we do about her, Boss?" The doctor asked."We will come visit her tomorrow; it is already late," Jerome concluded."Allow her to be in the hospital for now; I will be sending someone over to bring anything she will need. Keep her for now till I come for her myself," Jerome instructed.The call ended, and he joined his family."What took you so long?" Eleanor pouted."Just business," he answered."Where are my grandparents?" Jerome asked."They said they had to go get some sleep, and also your grandfather said we should stay for the
There was silence between the old man and his grandson, none of them was ready to talk. The old master was expecting his grandson to say something but the bitterness down his throat is preventing him from saying anything."Did you call me to sit here and watch you or you're going to say something," the old Master started to break the silence in the room."Why did you do that?" Jerome said simply."Can you talk in simple words? What do you mean by what you just said?" the old master replied."Why did you take such a decision and ask my friend to keep it away from me? It is not just anything this issue here, is something that involves my life. You should have at least told me about it if not for anything for the bond we share. Not for once have I taken any decision without telling you about it because I thought you were my everything and we have that kind of bond but then you proved me wrong," Jerome spoke bitterly."Why would you think that of me? You should listen to me at least, I
